???? Margaret and Shade came to see old Huck today, and she didn't want to chat with old Huck, she just wanted to express her kindness first. Moreover, Xia De believed that Margaret definitely did not start with old Huck alone. For the apprenticeship of the Great Witch, she made far more preparations than Xia De thought.
???? And when Margaret finished talking about her own affairs, Xia De didn't rush forward, but watched the police officers come back and take old Huck away. Such dangerous prisoners are escorted by special carriages. After confirming that the prisoner had not been swapped, the haggard old man was directly pushed into the carriage with steel plates on the inside.
???? After old Huck got into the car, he was a little surprised to find that the one looking at him in the car was no longer the sheriff who came when he came, but the princess attendant who poured him tea just now.
????The carriage was closed, and everything in the fully enclosed carriage was completely dark. But then, Shade lit the candle with a match, and the jumping flames illuminated the faces of the two:
???? "Why are you so surprised? Your Highness Margaret is very cautious. If you disappear on the road after she sees you, then Your Highness will not be able to explain anything. I will personally watch you return to the prison."
???? Xia De said, the old man looked at him suspiciously:
???? "I always feel that it's not that simple. Although I don't understand the procedures of the police, how is it possible...Sir, you won't suddenly pull out a gun and tell me that you are actually not a royal guard, but Della Someone from MI6 in Ryan?"
???? Xia De blinked
????"of course not."
???? Old Huck immediately became nervous. The old man's experience made it easy for him to see that the other party was telling lies, and he deliberately let him see that he was telling lies, and his heart immediately rose.
???? Xia De smiled and shook his head
???? "Don't be so nervous, and don't think about it, just treat me as a princess attendant. I'm not a killer, I just want to ask you something."
???? "On behalf of whom?"
???? Old Huck said vigilantly, looking at Shad's waist, guessing where he hid the pistol.
???? "Do you really want to know the answer to this question?"
???? Xia De asked back, and the old man hurriedly shook his head:
???? "As long as you don't come to kill me, you can ask whatever you want. We can talk about any questions before we reach our destination. I know that there must be strange questions that confuse your identity in your questions. Don't worry, I won't Mention our conversation in the carriage to anyone."
???? He suspected that he was involved in more bizarre and complicated political struggles.
????"Well."
???? Xia De nodded, and sat very relaxed on the uncomfortable chair in the carriage:
???? "The first question, why was William Anjou assassinated instead of Marguerite Anjou? And why is your attitude towards that princess so good today?"
???? Old Huck nervously put his hands on his lap:
???? "What kind of problem is this? Isn't this an obvious thing? Even if I want to take revenge on the royal family of Anjou, I won't hurt a weak woman. I'm not that despicable!"
???? "Very well, this answer is a good start. You can relax a bit and act like we're just chatting. Second question, have you been in contact with suspicious foreigners lately?"
???? The old man thought for a while, then slowly shook his head:
???? "No, if you want to know whether I was ordered by the Delarion people to assassinate the prince, the answer is "No". "
???? Of course Xia De knew it was not. Director An Luosi said that the assassination had nothing to do with MI6. He even read the top-secret files of the Stonemasons Association inside MI6.
???? "However, my neighbor, the Yankee, is very suspicious. He likes to bring home whores. I suspect there are spies among them."
???? Xia De waved his hand
???? "I don't have any interest in whether you are spying on your neighbor's privacy. I see that you are still a little nervous. Let's change the topic to a lighter one and tell me a story passed down by the Stonemasons Association."
???? As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it pretendingly
???? "It's still a short time before we return to the prison
???? Twenty minutes. Tell me a little story, and we'll move on to the question. "
???? Old Huck nodded immediately:
???? "What story do you want to hear?"
???? "Anything goes...an old and little-known story."
???? The old man has no doubts about this
???? "I have a lot of stories. You certainly don't know what happened when the Masons Association was first established. craftsmen, so they turned to the devil for the ancient treasure, and used that money to establish the original association."
???? "So, what's the price?"
???? Xia De asked with a smile, the old man nodded:
???? Xia De does not comment on this story. Whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with the clues he is looking for today:
???? "This story tells us that people have to pay a price for everything they do. Then it's my turn to ask: Just now you offered Princess Margaret a price, 60,000 crowns can make the Anjou family pay these Years. Then, how did you calculate this number? I have investigated you, I mean His Highness has investigated you, and your education level is not high, but you were able to say this figure just now. I don’t think , as an ordinary stonemason in the association, you have usually considered this kind of thing... Who did you listen to this asking price?"
????The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he was too trembling to speak.
???? Xia De still said in that relaxed tone:
???? "Your social relationship is very simple, and it will not be difficult for me to investigate it myself."
????" is Mr. Jon, Accountant of the Association. He and I have complained...with the money, it's acceptable without an apology. "
???? Although hatred breeds, not all people in the Masonry Association insist on that apology. The "Mr. Jon" mentioned by old Huck is obviously the kind of person who may not even apologize if the compensation is sufficient. Xia De would not comment on this pragmatic approach, but Margaret could probably start to do something with this person.
???? "Look, isn't it good that we have a question and answer like this?"
???? He took from his pocket a glass cork bottle containing white sugar cubes. He took out two pieces, motioned old Huck to choose one, and ate the other himself:
???? "Then continue with a story.,
???? Xia De said again, the old man felt the sweetness in his mouth, he already knew that he should not try to guess who was asking the question on behalf of the other party
???? "Story, let me think about it... yes, the most famous story of the Stonemasons Guild must be the living stone statue. I saw it once when I was young, but people didn't believe it. There are many, many stories related to this in the city. story, but I bet no one knows as much as I do. Among the founders of the association, there is a very low-key Mr. Fleming, who is the best craftsman among the original founders, but because of his He disappeared unexpectedly, so he did not participate in the later major events of the association, which led to the fact that not many people know him today. But his name has not been lost in history. Did you know that there is a copy of the original signature of the founders of the association? the deed, with Mr. Fleming's name on it."
???? He had a lot of stories about "Mr. Fleming", and he told them for ten minutes before stopping. This information is much more than the information provided by the middle-aged mason a few hours ago. Obviously, the story of the middle-aged mason was also heard from him.
???? During the next journey, Shad exchanged a lot of content with Old Huck. When the carriage finally stopped, he made a silent movement
???? "This journey was quite pleasant, and I understand the general things. Mr. Harker, I don't think this will be the last time we meet."
???? "Are you still looking for me?"
???? The old man asked in horror. He was really afraid of this man who was good at interrogating.
???? "It's not certain, but I think it will be very interesting when we meet next time
????. "
???? As he spoke, he jumped off the carriage with the door opened, and after completing the handover procedures for criminals, he boarded another carriage parked on the side of the road.
???? Margaret was waiting for him in the carriage with a teacup:
???? "How is it, have you gained anything?"
???? "There are gains, you can start with these people. The Masonry Association is not a complete iron plate, and there are people who may help you."
???? As he spoke, he took out the book and handed it to Her Royal Highness, which contained the content of the conversation just now:
???? "No, no, I mean, have you gained anything from your work?"
???? The blonde girl flipped through the book and asked, Xia De thought for a while:
???? "There probably really are very old demons here; old Huck also knew the Stone Oxenfurt family, and told me that Stone Oxenfurt had once learned the craft of stone carving in the Stonemasons Guild; Mr. Fleming, one of the founders of the Masonry Association, may have a problem. I will need your help tomorrow. I want to see the contract signed by the original founder of the Stonemasons Association. "
???? Margaret thought about it
???? "I'm afraid I won't see you tomorrow~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although I am a princess, I don't have the right to order everyone. Give me some time, the Masonry Association is not friendly to me."
???? "Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't see it."
???? Xia De also realized the difficulty of this request:
???? "As long as the location is determined, it's the same if I break in and see it myself."
???? Margaret smiled and shook her head
???? "Although I know you are not a criminal, every time you say such words, it feels dangerous... and exciting. Knight, is there anything else to do tonight? How about having dinner with me? Candlelight dinner, Then go to the Wilde Opera House to see an opera together."
???? Xia De regretfully shook his head
???? "Sorry, I have to meet up with my friends later."
???? This refers to the playwrights surveyed in the Society of Masons.
????" In the evening, Luvia and I still have some things to do. "
???? He plans to go to the Stonemasons Association tonight. Even if he can't see the moving stone statues, at least he has a chance to find the original stonemason's contract. He has done a lot of things to break through empty doors. Since Luvia is also here this time, calling Miss Fortune Teller, the operation should go much smoother.
