Chapter 320 Circus Clown <41>
Chapter 320 Circus Clown <41>
After chatting with the Duke that day, Fang Li was sent back safely by him.
All the relatives of the victims who were causing trouble in the mansion were cleared out by His Excellency Duke Herbert.
As for how they were dealt with, Fang Li didn't know.
All I know is that the other party's methods were extremely swift and decisive, and not a single rumor leaked out.
It was as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all. It could be said that the other party completely treated her as a junior who knew nothing.
That's why I helped her handle things so neatly and efficiently, leaving her with no worries at all.
Fang Li never expected that the scapegoat that Duke Herbert chose in the end would be Victor.
The other party was taken away by the members of the Knights so quickly and secretly that she didn't even know the news.
It was not until she hadn't seen Victor for two consecutive nights that she finally called for a carriage and prepared to go to the circus to look for him in person.
After arriving at the circus, the circus owner told her that Victor was sent to the Knights Templar for suspected murder.
Fang Li was almost shocked. How come the other party found Victor for this matter?
She felt that with the Duke Herbert's means and intelligence, the other party must know something, so he did this.
Fang Li's expression changed drastically after hearing the news, and she spoke directly to the coachman in front.
"Change the route to Duke Herbert's residence, now! Hurry!"
This was still Fang Li. It was the first time she spoke to them in such a tone, and the coachman suddenly became anxious.
He whipped the horse's butt hard with the whip in his hand, and the carriage rushed out like an arrow.
In addition to the coachman, there were two male servants outside the carriage. They sat outside the carriage, waving their hands vigorously and shouting to the people on the street outside.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"The Duke of Lancaster's carriage is here, get out of the way!"
With their loud clamor, the carriage moved forward quickly. In less than five minutes, they had reached Duke Herbert's residence from the circus.
Fang Li walked down with the help of one of the servants. The other servant had already gone to the door of Duke Herbert's residence and communicated with their guards.
After all, the other party is a duke, and this is someone else's private residence. Without an invitation letter, how can you just go there? Don't you think so?
After hearing their purpose, the other party said to them.
"Okay, I'll report this to His Excellency the Duke. Please wait here for a moment."
Fang Li stood in front of her carriage with a unfriendly expression, and she didn't know what happened to Victor after he was taken away by them.
Was there any interrogation? Was the other party beaten there? How could she not be anxious? She was almost dying of anxiety.
Just as she was getting more and more impatient, a male servant hurried out of the mansion, first bowed respectfully to her, and then said.
"Miss Helena, the Duke invites you over."
Fang Li lifted up her skirt, and without even waiting for the male servant behind her, she ran directly towards the other person's study.
Anyway, she had been here and knew the route, so she kept running and then discovered another drawback of this body.
After his physical condition returned to normal, not only did his running speed slow down a lot, but more importantly, he only ran for a while before he was standing there gasping for breath. He was really tired.
After panting for a long time, she lifted her skirt again and walked towards the study. This time she didn't dare to run fast.
I ran too fast. Not only was I tired, but my lungs were in tearing pain, as if they were about to explode. Who could bear this?
She didn't even bother to knock on the door and just pushed it open. Duke Herbert was sitting at his desk handling his official business.
Fang Li was too lazy to deal with the other party anymore and spoke directly to him.
"Victor, you authorized that, right?"
His Excellency Duke Herbert put down the quill in his hand and looked at her with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.
"Helena, he's just a clown in a circus. It's not worth it for you to make such a special trip for him. Or do you actually... have a secret relationship with him?"
In fact, when Fang Li came here from her own residence, she had already figured out everything.
Since the other party has already pinned the blame on Victor, it must not be for no reason.
She guessed that the other party should know that some of them were killed by Victor himself.
He also knows the relationship between himself and Victor. It can be said that he did this deliberately because he knew the relationship between himself and Victor.
Because of Fang Li's silence, the other party thought he was guilty.
Lord Duke Herbert pushed his chair away, stood up from his desk, and walked slowly to her.
He soon stood opposite Fang Li, staring at Fang Li with his pair of blue eyes.
However, Fang Li looked over without any fear.
She looked at him word by word and spoke slowly, "Let me ask you again, did you order Victor to be locked up?"
Looking at the aggressive Fang Li, Duke Herbert nodded without hesitation and answered without any guilt.
"It was me. I locked him up. What does it have to do with you whether he's just a circus clown dead or alive?"
Listen to what the other party said. He clearly knew the relationship between Victor and himself, and knew that Victor was her lover, but he still did this.
Fang Li got angry all of a sudden. She looked at the other person angrily and said, "Why did you do this? Why did you lock him up?"
Duke Herbert naturally would not think that Fang Li knew that the other party had committed murder.
He thought that Victor had done all those shameful things without Fang Li's knowledge, so he decided to throw a bomb directly at him.
"Don't you want to know how your cousins in the Duke's Mansion died? He is the murderer. I have not wronged him."
Since the other party said so, Fang Li was not afraid to just reveal everything.
"He solved some of the problems, that's right. But the vast majority of them had nothing to do with him. Why do you want to put all the blame on him alone?"
After hearing her words, Duke Herbert was greatly shocked. He never expected that Helena, who was ignorant of the world, actually knew about this.
Oh my God, why is Helena like this?
