All kinds of terrible things about the Viscount of Hell became a sensation as newspapers reported them one after another, people's voices changed, and Poitou, which had always had a rich nightlife, suddenly became very quiet.
Among them, the report by Carmen Gable, assistant editor and reporter of "Le Genovese", received the most attention because he was the only one who could provide the most timely and reliable details. Even the officials responded to inquiries from all aspects and unanimously declared that they would
According to the report of "Le Genoese".
Therefore, Carmen Gable was in the limelight, and his articles were widely quoted and reprinted. The sales volume of "Le Genoese" more than doubled, and the advertising expenses also increased. Mr. Duva, the president and editor-in-chief of the newspaper, decided to give him a bonus
salary.
Bieber-Lincoln was dubbed the Viscount of Hell. Due to his involvement, most members of the Lincoln family were arrested and awaiting screening. Most of them are innocent, but if they are too plucked, even if they are acquitted in the future,
A lot of wealth will also be lost.
People who had close contacts with Lincoln were eager to issue statements one after another and disassociate themselves from each other. Daley received many letters of accusation from people.
The secret police dug up the grave of the father of Viscount Hell, and from the corpse, they found evidence that his father died of poisoning. Twenty years ago, Lincoln's brother accidentally broke his neck and died. Now there are still many doubts, but it is no longer important.
.
A total of fifty corpses were found in Eagle Fort, which is shocking. In the past ten years or so, those who claimed that their family members were missing have flocked to Eagle Fort, hoping to find the remains of their relatives. Some people have already planned to seek someone from the Lincoln family.
kind of compensation.
Those Poitou women who had interacted with Lincoln shuddered and secretly rejoiced. They all said that they were decent women and did not know the Viscount of Hell at all.
However, tabloid reporters and some unrestricted literary men, in order to sell more and attract attention, dug deep into and concocted many articles such as "The Women of the Viscount of Hell". For a while, the statements refuting the rumors in the newspapers were also dazzling.
.
In Poitou's upper class society, various salons and romantic circles, all handsome and well-dressed men are subject to some kind of discrimination. This makes some men have to dress more plainly, such as following the example of Rocky Mountain
The viscount's clothing style.
Ironically, Charles Handy was interrogated again. He was taken by the secret police to visit the secret room of Eagle Castle, where even Charles Handy suffered a mental breakdown because there he found the body of his own brother.
.
Charles Handy himself was a ruthless villain who was wanted nationwide for manufacturing counterfeit currency and forging government documents in northern Lorraine, so he fled to Poitou.
It was Lincoln who gave him an open and legal identity and a prosperous life. At the same time, Lincoln threatened him with the safety of his biological brother, forcing him to obey orders.
His biological brother would write letters every once in a while, but now it seems that these are all fake, because corpses cannot write letters.
Charles Handy confessed a detail. He once personally ran an errand for Lincoln to deliver a secret letter to the north. The secret letter was sealed with wax and stamped. But it was not the private seal and family seal of Viscount Lincoln, because at that time
He does not know the true identity of the person he is serving.
Unfortunately, due to careless storage, Charles Handy got the letter wet. But Charles Handy was a master of forgery. He opened the letter and copied the letter. Unless it was Lincoln himself, it was difficult for outsiders to
Hard to tell.
"The letter was written to a person named the Master. The Viscount thanked the Master for his teachings and said that he was planning a big thing. In the letter, the Viscount used his real abbreviation. I have kept the original and hid it.
In my mistress's bedroom, you can compare the handwriting."
Charles Handy had a strong desire to die. He was a villain and a killer, but Lincoln's act of making his own brother into a specimen gave him a strong rebellious psychology.
"What's the big deal?" Daley asked.
"He is planning to seize command of the Genoa Civil Defense Force, and then go north to take over the rebel forces there. I'm afraid you all know this." Once Charles Handy opened his guard, all the secrets were revealed happily:
"As for framing Percy Robinson, it's just a trivial matter. This family has offended him, so he wants this family to disappear. Viscount, no, Bieber Lincoln is an extremely cold person."
"Bieber Lincoln is a bloodthirsty person, how did you know?" Sean was invited to participate in the interrogation.
"You will understand when you get that letter." Charles Handy lowered his head and said.
The interrogation room was very quiet, only the scratchy sound of the clerk's writing could be heard.
The existing evidence is enough to prove that Bieber-Lincoln is a clown, and even more to prove Percy Robinson's innocence. As for whether Bieber-Lincoln is a bloodthirsty, it is irrelevant to Sean.
Charles Handy was silent for a while: "Is it possible for me to survive?"
Daly said: "If you are smart and tell everything you know, you may still have a chance to survive."
Charles Handy shook his head and said in a mocking tone: "Mr. Director, you are not an honest person. But I have to admit that you won a big victory this time. But don't forget the spark of resistance.
, has already started burning on the land of Europa, and one day it will burn all those high-minded people like you."
"Death is imminent, and you are still stubborn." Dai Li dismissed it, "Under the guise of justice, you commit robberies. Is this your ideal path?"
Charles Handy looked at Sean: "Obviously Viscount Connelly has a somewhat different view. Viscount, have you been to Saint Nuvet in the north, Guineapolis, are the resisters all villains and vicious people?"
"I don't need to discuss the situation there with you." Sean said, "Based on the crimes Bieber Lincoln committed, he should be executed with the most cruel punishment a hundred times, and you, as his right-hand man,
If I shoot you ten times, I will spare you lightly."
"Haha." Charles Handy laughed, "I've already made enough money, so there's nothing to fear about death. I'm just giving the Viscount a piece of advice, you have to be careful."
"Shut up, you still dare to threaten the nobles?" Daly yelled angrily.
"I'm not threatening him. The Viscount brought all this on himself. Without him, you, the head of the secret police, could only catch some gangsters and thieves. You were able to catch Maxim, but you were lucky."
Charles Handy Road.
"But I caught you," Daly retorted.
"But that's all. Your torture can't do anything to me. I have already realized that I must die." Charles Handy said, "If the Viscount hadn't been meddling in other people's business and exposed Bieber Lincoln's secret, what you would have gained
Not big. So I remind the Viscount that you have offended
If you become a bloodthirsty person and become an enemy of the True God Party, you will have trouble sleeping and eating, and you will face revenge at any time. The power of the wise master is not something you can compete with as an individual. I have personally seen how the wise master killed a betrayer.
He ate the other person’s heart while it was hot!”
Charles Handy was taken down by prison guards.
His warning did not shock Sean much. Sean had already had this realization.
Those mystics believe that there is always a mysterious force driving the change and development of the world. But for Sean, he is always pushed forward by changes in the world and cannot help himself.
When he walked out of the secret police cell, a newsboy handed him a note with only one sentence:
"I'm watching you!"
The signature is a wise teacher.
Sean looked around subconsciously. At this moment, he felt threatened by death, and at the same time, he also realized that he needed stronger power.
One day in mid-May 1832, the province of Genoa formed a special court. Several judges sent by the Holy City High Court came to Poitou and presided over the trial of Bieber Lincoln, Charles Handy and others.
Treason case.
In the end, twelve people including Charles Handy were sentenced to death by hanging, 25 people were imprisoned for life, and the other 38 people were sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to 20 years. More than 100 people who were implicated were fined.
The court also announced that the title of the Lincoln family would be recovered and all property under Bieber Lincoln's name would be confiscated. In addition, all charges against Percy Robinson were dropped and all reputations restored.
Audrey cried with joy, but Sean noticed that Colonel Frank, the real head of the secret police, also attended the trial, and Daley accompanied him like a begging dog.
Joseph Frank was dressed in casual clothes. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like the clerk of a judge in the Holy City.
His public identity in the Holy City was that of a colonel and staff officer of the Military Command Department, but the marshals in the Military Command Department were also polite to him when they saw him.
This time he came to Poitou in the name of the Military Command, because he brought orders regarding the disposal of the Genoa Civil Defense Force.
After many considerations, the Genoa Civil Defense Force was officially placed under the local garrison order, with the designation of the 101st Garrison Brigade, with former deputy commander Herbert Wells as brigadier general.
The empire's military focus was on the northern border. It also learned from the lessons of the Red Moon War of 1830 and later strengthened the strategic deployment of troops. This resulted in a shortage of defense and counterinsurgency forces in the interior.
The rebellion in the Longjiang River Basin last year was the result of this imbalance of power. The Holy City did not have enough troops to suppress the rebellion for a while, causing the rebels to gain strength. This made it necessary to reconsider the military garrison strength in the interior.
Due to some considerations, Sean was dismissed as the supreme commander of the military force in Genoa. This was something that everyone expected. He had unparalleled prestige in this army and was very popular in the place.
He is an influential nobleman, so it is appropriate to remove him from military service.
However, the local garrison army is different from the regular army. It relies on the financial support of the local provinces. Therefore, as a compromise, Herbert Wells became the brigadier general of the 101st garrison brigade to appease the morale of the military and the local people. However, the main officers were
Appointment and removal are controlled by the Military Command.
On May 25, 1832, half of the Genoese Civil Defense Force stationed under the Rocky Mountains began an armed march. Their goal was Fort Putnam in the north, where they joined the other half of the troops stationed there and unified
After accepting the adaptation and conducting an exercise in the name of the 101st Guards Brigade, the two sides exchanged garrison locations.
Colonel Frank and Sean also rushed to Fort Putnam with the army, where Colonel Frank, on behalf of the military command department, will uniformly award company-level and school-level officers, and award them and some non-commissioned officers the Royal Cross in recognition of their service.
Outstanding performance in counterinsurgency operations.
At Fort Putnam, Colonel Frank had an in-depth conversation with Sean.
