Queen and Her Duke

Chapter 82

Wen Lin's face was a little ugly, and Hanvers said in time,

"These confessions were spit out after the first round of interrogation. I can't bear to investigate further. Your Excellency will wait a few more days for the follow-up interrogation..."

Any content involving His Majesty Vicia is very sensitive. Originally, Hanvers planned to send these confessions to the royal court tonight, but he didn't expect Wen Lin to come so quickly, so he gave her the confessions first. .

"Lord Humphreys, there is no need for further trial. Take them all to the guillotine next to the most lively dock square and execute them."

Wen Lin interrupted Hanvers coldly. The thirty-odd confessions with surprisingly consistent tone already allowed her to conclude that the person behind the scenes was the same person, and that person wanted to lead to misfortune.

Since she can confidently set up so many spies in the Fangtingsi slum, Wen Lin believes that there will be nothing to do if she continues the trial.

It's just the reason behind this, but Wen Lin doesn't have any definite thoughts.

It is possible to know the old events twenty years ago, and he wants to alienate his relationship with Vicia, what exactly does he want to do?

Wen Lin was never one to sit still. It was her counterattack to execute all the undercover detectives in full view.

Brightly told the people in the dark that she saw through his sinister intentions.

Throwing all the confessions into the brazier, Wen Lin looked at Hanvers and said quietly, "Your Excellency, there is no need to report these matters to Your Majesty Vicia."

"This..." Hanvers hesitated.

Seeing this, Wen Lin continued, "It won't be too late to report back until something is found."

The Fangtings ghetto was originally a parish under the jurisdiction of Wen Lin, and it was not too much for her to make this request.

Hanvers pondered for a moment and said strangely, "It's just your Excellency, the prisoners have been executed, how can we investigate?"

A sneer flashed across her eyes, and the dark yellow fire in the Tater Tower illuminated Wen Lin's side face of unknown meaning. She lowered her eyes slightly, covering the deep chill in her eyes.

"Mr. Humphreys, perhaps you should pay attention to the reaction of the major nobles after the prisoner was executed, and check whether they were involved with the Sutherland family who treasoned the country twenty-two years ago."

With a face full of horror, Hanvers seemed to suddenly realize something. He pursed his lips and wanted to continue asking, but Wen Lin turned and left without saying a word.

Walking out of the Yate Tower, the sun was shining, and feeling the warmth falling on her body, Wen Lin narrowed her eyes and her expression eased a little.

The people in the dark place only dare to use some unprofessional means, which shows that he has some fears.

Wen Lin sorted out her thoughts, but the sense of urgency in her heart became stronger.

The kingship is not strong enough, and is still shackled by the nobles in many aspects, but the reforms he wants to implement can only be slowly planned.

This process is destined to be difficult and long, especially in the face of countless unknown variables.

Before everything can achieve significant results, Wen Lin's life experience and relationship with Vicia may become a weapon for unscrupulous people to attack Vicia.

This feeling of having to be controlled by people is very bad.

Wen Lin clenched the long knife around her waist, the raised decoration on the handle was a little sharp, and her hand stabbed slightly.

The tense look didn't completely ease until he saw Latimer.

Humphreys' estate on the outskirts of the city covers a large area, more than enough to accommodate two or three hundred people.

Wen Lin saw the royal knights guarding the gate of the manor across the distance. At the same time, Latimer heard the sound of horses' hooves and ran out immediately, looking in the direction of the person coming.

After confirming that it was Wen Lin, there was an uncontrollable excited expression on her face, "Teacher."

After all, he was still a child and would not hide the emotions on his face. Since Wen Lin took Latimer to Yinhe Village, Latimer's intention to get close to her became more and more obvious.

With a slight smile, Wen Lin dismounted and walked in front of Latimer, rubbing his head, "His Royal Highness Latimer, what did you learn from coming here early?"

Watching Wen Lin's actions, Latimer looked excited, but because of the presence of the royal knights, he had to maintain a calm royal demeanor.

The child's body was like an adult. Wen Lin felt amused and waited patiently for Latimer's answer with her lips hooked.

With a serious expression on his face, Latimer looked up at Wen Lin and said puzzledly, "They and the people in Yinhe Village are both poor, and the people in Yinhe Village will laugh when they see me, but the people here not only don't laugh, Still looking scared or hating me."

Latimer is precocious and very sensitive to the changes in people's emotions.

With a smile on her lips, Wen Lin asked him, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about why they treat you so differently?"

Although Wen Lin's expression and tone were still gentle, whenever she started to preach, Latimer would get nervous. He grabbed the corner of his clothes uneasily and murmured, "Teacher, I don't know."

Wen Lin continued to ask, "Does your Highness know the reason why the people of Yinhe Village would show their kindness to you?"

Looking at Wen Lin for a long time, Latimer replied in a tender voice, "Is it because of the teacher? I often hear people in Yinhe Village praise you for your kindness and generosity."

Frowning slightly, Wen Lin squatted down, looked at Latimer and said,

"His Royal Highness, the fundamental reason is not because of me. When you can feed the hungry, settle the homeless, do justice to the oppressed, and do justice to the slandered..., they will show goodwill to you."

Qianqian, Wen Lin raised her lips and paused for a while before continuing, "His Royal Highness Latimer, these are all what a qualified heir needs to learn."

Latimer stood up straight. He stared at Wen Lin with blue eyes very similar to Vicia's.

"Teacher, I don't understand now, but you will teach me, right?"

Since Latimer can remember, she has never looked at him with such warm and expectant eyes like Wen Lin.

With her eyes fixed on Latimer's face, Wen Lin nodded, "Your Highness, as long as you want to learn, as long as you stand firmly behind your aunt, I will teach you without reservation,"

Wen Lin's face was solemn and solemn. Latimer understood the meaning of her words, and said a little discouraged,

"Teacher, my aunt doesn't like me. I'm afraid of her, but I've never regarded her as an enemy."

Slightly stunned, a smile flashed across Wen Lin's eyes, she thought for a moment before saying,

"His Royal Highness, Her Majesty Vicia doesn't dislike you, she just doesn't know how to express it. Maybe you can approach her more proactively and frankly next time, just like you treat me."

His eyes lit up, and Latimer blinked solemnly, "Teacher, is it really okay? Like you let your aunt drink chicken soup?"

"Your Highness, maybe you can give it a try," Wen Lin blushed, stood up, strode inside, and changed the subject as she walked.

"His Royal Highness Latimer, keep up, now it's my turn to choose your attendant."

"Teacher, do you choose from these poor people?"

Hearing the disgust in Latimer's words, Wen Lin suddenly stopped, turned to look at Latimer, and said sternly,

"His Royal Highness, they are poor, but they are also the people of Golan. Your aunt once said that she is ashamed of the situation of the poor in Golan, and you should be the same."

After all, he was only six years old. Facing Wen Lin, who suddenly appeared stern, Latimer was obviously at a loss. He was stunned and subconsciously said,

"Teacher, they don't like me. I want my friends in Yinhe Village to be my attendant."

There are many children in the Inn River Village who are the same age as Latimer. During the time they stayed in the Inn River Village, Latimer has established a preliminary friendship with them.

Regarding Latimer, Mr. Brown would record everything in detail first, and then present it to Wen Lin.

Wen Lin had a little impression of the children who were close to Latimer.

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Wen Lin eased her expression, and then said warmly,

"His Royal Highness, they are also your people. It's not right to run away. What I want to teach you next is how to make them show kindness to us, or how to make them be as friendly as the people in Yinhe Village."

Latimer was only six years old, and some words were really difficult for him to understand. Wen Lin tried her best to explain to him more directly.

Knowing that Wen Lin was not angry, Latimer nodded quickly, trotted over, and carefully held Wen Lin's sleeve,

"Teacher, I will study hard,"

Her round eyes looked very innocent and innocent. She didn't know if Latimer really understood. Wen Lin sighed helplessly and said to herself, "His Royal Highness Latimer is still young, so don't be too hasty, take it slow. ."

Latimer, who didn't know Wen Lin's thoughts at all, focused all his attention on Wen Lin's acquiescence in holding her by the sleeve, and his excitement was beyond words.

The moment Wen Lin walked into the manor, everyone's eyes gathered.

They fixedly looked at Wen Lin, and Latimer who was holding Wen Lin's sleeve, with both fear and anticipation in their eyes.

They didn't dare to think that they would be sent to the manor, and when the person who sent them told them that they could sleep in the house in the manor, they felt extremely absurd and ridiculous.

A noble would actually set up a manor for them to live in, even if Wen Lin's behavior was completely different from other nobles, they still didn't want to believe it.

Panic, astonished, and apprehensive, they guessed that there would be a conspiracy behind it, and even no one dared to go in last night, and they all slept on the corridor outside the manor.

Wen Lin looked calm and nodded lightly towards the attendants behind her, and then someone handed out a stack of deeds one by one to everyone.

In order to prevent someone from being illiterate, a dedicated attendant read out the contents of the deed one by one aloud.

The general meaning is that Wen Lin will hire them as soap makers, and will be rewarded with 20 copper coins every day.

Everyone looked at Wen Lin in astonishment. When they heard that children under the age of 15 would be arranged to go to school to study for free, they immediately boiled over.

"Master Bishop, are you telling the truth?"

The inquiring voice was choked with eagerness, and it was filled with unbelievable surprise.

Wen Lin didn't answer immediately, but looked down at Latimer, "Your Highness, tell them, is it true?"

Learning from Wen Lin's eyes and staring straight ahead, Latimer clenched his sleeves tightly, but he couldn't see any panic on his face, "All deeds will be sent to the Star Chamber Court for evidence, of course it's true. ,"

His words were clear and his aura was majestic. Although he looked immature, he stunned the crowd for a while.

Wen Lin showed a satisfied smile, and then added a few words of comfort.

It made everyone go from being surprised to being overjoyed. Feeling that the teacher did it so calmly and easily, Latimer tilted his head and looked at Wen Lin thoughtfully.

The author has something to say: to correct a mistake, Latimer should be Vicia's nephew. It was wrong to call Sister Wang in the last chapter. I will think about how to change it later. Thank you little angel for catching bugs~

And it's obviously not abusive now! Hahaha, the comments make me think I've spilled countless knives - I don't understand!

Latimer: ah ah ah, I am a die-hard fan of the teacher, no one can compete with me

Vicia: Oh, yes?

Latimer: Hey, the teacher belongs to my aunt, I can't take it
