The baron looked at Xie Sheng: "Come in with me and see how Payne is doing."

"Yes, Lord Baron"

The two of them walked into the ward one after the other.

Dr. Edward is skillfully treating Payne's wound.

Seeing the baron, a big benefactor, the doctor's cold face immediately showed a smile.

The baron walked to the bed: "How is my son?"

"Nothing abnormal was found, and there were no signs of poisoning. I was just overly frightened. I just need to rest for a few days and it will be fine."

"Dr. Edward, it's been half a month since we last chatted. Let's go have a cup of coffee and chat."

"My lord, Baron, it is a great honor, and I would like to see what it was that bit Master Payne."

Doctor Edward told Elena some things that needed attention, and walked out of the room with the Baron.

After Butler Xiong gave Elena a few words, he left the room. The Baron wanted to entertain the guests, so of course he had to go over and serve him well.

The baron didn't invite Xie Sheng, so Xie Sheng certainly wouldn't be so shameless as to follow him, and besides, they seemed to have something to talk about.

Xie Sheng walked to the bed and looked at Payne's injury, but found no signs of infection yet.

After taking a look at Elena who had regained her composure, she left the ward and returned to her room.

Half an hour later, a servant was ordered to invite Xie Sheng to the living room downstairs.

It was not only Xie Sheng who was invited to the big living room, but also most of the guests in the castle.

Except for Dr. Golf, who was not here, all the other guests were summoned to the large living room.

The housekeeper poured everyone a glass of the castle's own red wine.

The baron cleared his throat and said: "As everyone knows, something unpleasant happened after breakfast today."

After saying this, the baron's sharp eyes scanned everyone in the room one by one.

When he saw everyone, his eyes paused for a moment.

"As you know, before noon, a group of distinguished guests will come to the castle, so I hope you won't disturb those guests by telling me what happened in the morning. Tell me, can you believe me?"

Everyone nodded and said they would comply with the Baron's wishes.

At this time, Butler Xiong gently opened the door and walked in. He bowed to the people in the room and then walked to the Baron.

"Lord Baron, Officer Chandler has come to the castle with a team of detectives."

"Chandler, what is he doing here!"

"It seems that someone told him about the two servants."

"That's it." The baron stood up angrily.

He said to the guests in the room: "I'm going to see that greedy guy. You can do your own thing. Remember what I said."

Because everyone was busy preparing to welcome the noon guests, Johnny's knight class, Xie Sheng's piano class, and the doctor's wife's dance class were all temporarily canceled.

Xie Sheng returned to his room, stood on the small balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, and looked at the castle gate.

At this time, the annoying sunlight can no longer shine on the balcony. As long as it is not directly exposed to it for a long time, it will not have much impact on him.

Three cars were parked at the gate of the castle, and seven or eight men in black police detective uniforms were moving around outside the city.

Inside the castle gate, a short, fat police detective in black uniform was talking to the baron in a tuxedo.

The detective was Police Chief Chandler, who was in charge of this area. There were two tall police officers standing beside him.

Butler Bear and Johnny Knight stood on both sides of the Baron.

The protagonists of both parties are the police department, which represents the interests of the parliament, and the baron, who represents the interests of the nobility.

The knight's hand was on the hilt of his sword, and the two policemen also had their hands on the batons at their waists.

"Can a police commissioner already talk to a distinguished baron on an equal footing?"

Xie Sheng looked out the window and some memories emerged.

Now is the end of the Age of Knights, and the rapid development of industry and commerce is gradually replacing the economic status of agriculture and animal husbandry.

The increasingly popular muskets are gradually replacing the status of knights.

Through increasingly developed industry and commerce, capitalists have absorbed a large amount of wealth and have an increasing voice in the Demon Ruins.

However, the aristocracy of Moxu gained equally huge wealth and power by controlling colonies that were dozens of times larger than Moxu.

Xie Sheng suddenly understood that it was the eve of the Constitutional War, and he didn't know how long it would be before that huge war.

The debate ended with the pudgy detective turning around and walking out of the castle gate, getting into a car and slamming the car door.

The baron looked coldly at the three cars driving away, then turned and left the gate.

"We can no longer tolerate these mud-legged miners and miners being so arrogant. This marriage is inevitable and no one can disrupt it."

"Hey, are you just ignoring me?"

A sweet voice sounded behind him.

Xie Sheng turned around and saw Xiaodie leaning on his bed.

In this posture, her beautiful figure is clearly visible.

He closed the window and lowered the curtains: "When did you sneak in? It's broad daylight."

"I came to see Payne just now, and I found out that he had been sent back to his tower, so I came in to take a look."

Xie Sheng reached out and held one of her hands: "You are starting to learn bad habits, and you are becoming more and more courageous."

"Huh, don't even think about who taught me bad things."

"Haha, what can you do? Johnny Knight will be back in the room soon."

"The young masters are coming at noon, aren't you worried at all?"

"Of course I'm worried, but what can I do unless you are willing to elope with me?"

"Didn't Father hint that if you get married, you can marry me?"

"Xiaodie, don't you think that the Baron is testing me?"

"Father, you always care about me and would never do that."

This was not the case in Xie Sheng's memory.

According to historical records, Baron Huntington has the blood of the Moxu royal family and is one of the most die-hard royalists in the Moxu.

When he was young, the Baron led a demonic navy to plunder colonies overseas and achieved numerous victories.

He also has a colony overseas that is larger than the Demon Ruins.

At the beginning of the war, he first formed an army of thousands of people in his castle and joined the war.

After the royalists were defeated by the constitutionalists, the noble army retreated to Crown Island.

The Baron left Crown Island and re-established an army from overseas colonies.

When the Constitutional Navy launched a general attack on Crown Island, he led the motorboats covering the sea to fall from the sky.

Not only defeated the constitutionalist navy, but also recaptured the Queen City.

The emperor immediately granted the baron the position of prime minister and ordered him to take full responsibility for the war against the constitutionalists.

If the baron hadn't died suddenly and unexpectedly, the nobles would have fallen back into internal strife for power, leaving a glimmer of hope for the constitutionalists.
