The Law of the Silent Gentleman - Chapter 52
Giuliano petrified.
How is Lei Xi…it turned out that Lei Xi had been listening to them outside the window…how could this be! ! Enzo seemed to have recognized Lei Xi a long time ago, but he didn’t say a word, and deliberately…deliberately…he will be ashamed to see others in the future! !
He covered his face, moved to the corner of the bed, and curled up into a ball, wishing he could turn into a hedgehog and stab anyone who dared to touch him to death.
Enzo pretended to be concerned about Lei Xi.
“Is it cold outside?”
“It’s not very cold, I’m used to it.”
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Not too long, you’re pretty fast.”
Enzo’s smile froze. Men are most taboo to be said “fast”. But he knew that Lei Xi was intentionally retaliating, so he was not angry, turned around and closed the curtains, put his hands behind his back, and said relaxedly: “You deliberately climbed the window to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night, it’s really leisurely.”
Leixi flicked her long hair: “It’s not as good as yours, and you have to meet lovers and deal with business at the same time. What a busy man.”
Enzo’s face changed slightly. He was about to cut to the chase and ask Lei Xi why he came uninvited in the middle of the night, but the bard took a step ahead of him and grabbed the ledger and letters on the sofa. His movements were so fast that Enzo had no time to stop him.
He glanced at the letter, and then quickly flipped through the account book, and the paper was rattled by him.
“So that’s what you are for.”
He threw the letter ledger back to its original place and sat down beside it. “What does this mean? Are you going to attack Hean Suweita?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Aren’t you with those two assassins? The way you look at them clearly shows that you know them.”
“Knowledge is acquaintance, but we are not on the same side with them.”
Leixi stroked her hair thoughtfully. After a while, he laughed jokingly: “There are quite a lot of visitors tonight, and your apprentice is very popular. You have to keep an eye on him so that he doesn’t fall in love with you.”
Enzo reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: “I have confidence in the people I have trained.”
He strode to the window and drew the curtains aside. The person climbing outside said “Ouch” and almost fell.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t do it! It’s me! Antoine!” He hastily identified himself.
Enzo’s face was cloudy and cloudy, his eyes were complex, and he seemed to push Antoine down. But he finally held back, opened the window, and pulled the young swordsman into the house.
“You, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Climb through the window?”
Antoine brushed off the dust and wall powder on his body: “I still want to ask you! Isn’t this Giuliano’s room? Why are you here?” After finishing speaking, he found that Leixi was also there, and he took a step back in shock, almost Fall out of the window. “Why… why are you all here?!”
Enzo sighed, waved his hand, told Antoine to step aside, and then closed the window and drew the curtain. Antoine looked anxiously at the three companions: “You are not in collusion, are you? Tell me, are you planning to assassinate General Suveta?” He said with a mournful look, “You guys What kind of hatred do you have against him? General Suveta is a good man! He is a great hero who wiped out pirates! Can you let him go?”
Enzo wanted to grab Antoine’s ear and give him a hard lesson, but after thinking about it, Antoine was not his student, so what qualifications did he have to teach others, so he could only say bitterly: “You and him are the same How long have you known him and help him talk? It’s really an elbow!”
Antoine flattened his mouth aggrievedly: “You really want to kill him! I’ll tell you! How did the three of you just appear at the ball? How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I thought about it by myself before. Giuliano is always invisible, this is so strange! He must be doing something invisible! And you, Enzo, you are so skilled in swordsmanship, when General Suveta was attacked by assassins, you not only did not help, but also Back away. We have experienced so many things together at Cheverignon Hill, I know you are definitely not a person who will not save you. Then there is only one possibility, and you want General Suveta to die!”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became: “You are with those two assassins, right? It’s a trick, right? The two assassins failed, so you deliberately came back with Su Weita and waited for an opportunity to assassinate him! Why did you Do you do that? Did Suveta offend you?” He turned to Reshi, “Speak up, Reshi! Tell me what’s going on?”
Resch said, “You’re mistaken, Antoine. It’s not what you think it is.”
Enzo felt relieved. Compared with them, Antoine seems to believe in Leixi more. If Leixi came forward to explain, the effect would be better.
“Antoine, I’ve been kept in the dark too. I don’t know anything about their conspiracy, and I came here tonight to ask for an explanation.”
Enzo wished he could burn a hole in the bard with his eyes.
Lei Xi picked up the letter on the side: “Antoine, come and read these, and see if you can see anything.”
Enzo wanted to stop the bards, but he knew that stopping them would only make them more suspicious.
Antoine took the letter ledger and read it carefully word by word. After a long time, he spread his shoulders dejectedly, and asked in great difficulty: “So you are… pirates?”
Enzo staggered. “…Why do you think so?”
Antoine raised the letter in his hand: “It’s written on the letter! I can’t figure out who this ‘F’ is, but this ‘B’ must be a pirate. General Suweita led the army to destroy the pirates. Are you because of this? You just formed a bridge with him, so you have to take his life?”
The reticent couldn’t laugh or cry, he didn’t know whether to praise Antoine for his rich imagination, or to scold him for thinking wildly.
“We’re not pirates, and we had nothing to do with those two assassins. We went to the ball in disguise for something else—for the letters and the ledgers.”
Antoine looked down at the letter in his hand, and suddenly realized: “It turned out that Giuliano left the ball to find this! But what do you need these letters for?”
“Since you have thought so much, why don’t you continue to boldly guess, who is the ‘F’ in the letter?”
“I can’t figure it out…” Antoine lowered his head humbly.
“It is Fernando Infançon, host of the ball.”
The young swordsman lost his words for a moment. Enzo continued: “We—Juliano to be precise—had a grudge against Fernando. We sneaked into the Infonson family mansion just to find evidence to defeat him. As you can see, Giuliano found the letters and ledgers, They show that Fernando has been colluding with the pirates, leaking military information to the pirates, and then helping them sell their stolen goods to make huge profits. Now that General Suvita is destroying the pirates, who hates him the most? Who will send assassins to assassinate him? And who has the best conditions? Favorable, the most convenient to get?”
“—It’s Fernando Infançon!” Antoine exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that guy, who is well-dressed on the outside, to be so dirty inside!” He paused, “But he’s already been caught, you guys! Why did you ask to go home with General Suveta?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of clear laughter outside the door: “Hahaha, good question! This is also a question that lingers in my mind!”
The four people in the room tensed up immediately! Leixi leaned on the sofa motionless, but her amber eyes shone with a sharp light. Antoine was very regretful. He must have been too loud to attract the attention of outsiders. He assumed a battle posture, ready to meet the enemy empty-handed at any time. Regardless of his discomfort, Giuliano jumped out of bed and ran to Enzo’s side, his whole body like a sharpened knife. Enzo’s face was normal, and he moved his fingers to make Giuliano retreat to a safe place. He stood in front of the door and said loudly, “It’s General Suveta? Since you’re here, please come in.”
The door opened to both sides, and Hean Suweita, who was wearing casual clothes, put his hands behind his back and walked in slowly with a smile on his face. The guard on duty closed the door behind him.
Su Weita looked at the four of them in turn, with a wider smile on his face. “You guys are so elegant, gathered here at such a late hour, do you have any important things to talk about?”
“It’s nothing, the night is long, and I can’t sleep alone, so I came to find a friend to dispatch the loneliness.”
“To relieve loneliness? If there were only two people in the room, I would still believe this statement. But four people?” General Suveta shook his head and was stunned, “This is the room of the musician Giuliano, right? Three people came to him together? “
He bypassed Enzo, walked slowly in front of Giuliano, and looked at his face with great interest, like a beast watching its prey.
“Unexpectedly, you have met so many ‘friends’ after leaving Vanessa City for a few months. I am so happy, Giuliano Sacon.”
Giuliano’s pupils shrank suddenly!
Sacon! Suveta knew his last name! He knew he was Giuliano Sacon, son of Vito of Vanessa!
“How do you know…” Giuliano was full of killing intent.
Suveta held a roll of parchment with his hands behind his back. He slapped the roll of paper on Giuliano’s chest and asked with a smile, “Have you seen this?”
Giuliano took the scroll and unfolded it. His portrait was painted on it, with three huge words written on it:
“Wanted”.
