Chapter 334: Li Dai Tao Jiang (Two in One)

"About two months ago, my father received news from Xinlan."

"That is the special encrypted contact information of the Stuart family. It says that the Stuart family is now on the verge of extinction. Those who really have Stuart bloodline will either be killed or killed. The Archduke Stuart of New Zealand who was imprisoned and is now in charge is a treacherous villain. "

"After receiving the news, my father and others did not take any action immediately. At that time, they were involved in the Green Day incident. It was not until a month ago that they began to really take this matter seriously."

"You should also know that the Stuart family is different from other duke families in the Western Region. Those families only require that the family name can be passed down forever and maintain their reputation. Therefore, when there is no one within the family for a certain period of time, When there are outstanding talents who can take over the natural selection, they will use recruitment methods to attract young talents to change their surnames and join them. "

"But the Stuart family was one of the former royal families. Even now, they have always emphasized their royal blood. This is their fundamental capital to be able to oppose the Central Anjia. It is also the main reason why the Western Region was willing to accept them in the first place."

"And now, if the person who holds the natural power of the Stuart family is no longer of royal blood, then this will be unacceptable to both the Stuart family and the entire Western Region. "

"Therefore, in addition to sending me here to determine what the current Archduke Stuart's tendencies are, my father and the others are more importantly, to find the person who asked for help and find out the truth of the matter."

In the car, Sherlock also told all the reasons for coming to Newland without reservation.

Levi didn't hide anything from him on these matters, and Sherlock naturally had no reservations.

Just from his words, Levi could clearly hear that he had some different thoughts about the Archduke Stuart who was now in office, Shylock's father.

Li Wei did not ask further about this matter.

Sherlock pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the road near the barrier area was deserted. They moved very quickly, and within half an hour after leaving the city, they arrived in front of a barrier on the southeast side of Newland.

The urban structure here is similar to that of the sun. The part of the city edge close to the barrier is classified as an industrial factory area. The part between the urban area and the factory area is an agricultural area. The innermost urban area is naturally the core residential area.

It's only 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, and quite a few buildings in those factories are still brightly lit.

Xinlan's manufacturing industry is mainly based on light industry, and the workers there are divided into two shifts. They work more than ten hours a day. Almost all the time except for eating and sleeping is spent doing boring work in the production workshop. labor.

When he saw those sweatshops, Sherlock's face looked obviously ugly.

"I checked before I came here. After the current Archduke Stuart came to power, the agricultural and industrial taxes in Newland increased by about 30%, and more than half of these taxes were passed on to farmers and workers. The Grand Duke also frequently dissolved and established governments. Corruption among his subordinates was extremely serious. His children were also greedy and had been amassing money in various names. "

Levi can certainly feel this at Huck's house. Huck himself has been complaining that since the current Grand Duke inherited the title, their family's life has become worse day by day. If nothing else is said before, this is basically what they have for breakfast. For a family of four, one egg per person can still be guaranteed, but now, eggs have become food that needs to be saved.

In this regard, Levi just asked bluntly.

"What about in Iris? Will these people's lives be better under the rule of the Green family?"

Sherlock's answer was calm.

"My father was stronger than others towards farmers and workers, but his strength was limited. Essentially, he still regarded these people as his tools to create wealth for the Green family. He felt that other people looked too ugly. He could be more elegant and more elegant. He enjoys the fruits of these people’s labor and sweat politely, but in fact he is no different from them.”

An answer without any double standards. Even Levi sometimes felt ashamed of the shining qualities of Sherlock.

This is also the reason why many people don't like him. Everyone is in the same boat, but you are different. So who should we target if we don't target you?

If it weren't for this generation of the Green family, only Sherlock has shown extraordinary talent. Now he has reached the third level and is ready to take over the power of the chosen one at any time. The Grand Duke Green would not want him to be his heir.

Not long after, the car stopped at the edge of the Xinlan Barrier.

Sherlock and Levi walked out of the car together. They both already knew how to find Cousin Huck's eldest parents.

There was a special mark near this side of the barrier. The two of them looked for it separately, and it didn't take long for Sherlock to find it.

"My side! The family emblem that the Stuart family has used in history - [Lush Ginkgo Tree]."

Levi came to Sherlock and saw the emblem with him.

Along the edge of the emblem, they found a raised stone that looked a little different from other places. Li Wei used a little force to pull the stone off the barrier, and under the stone, there was a White button.

The two looked at each other, and Levi pressed the button directly. The next moment, the stone wall with the emblem in front of them began to tremble, making a "rumbling" friction sound!

The stone moved to one side like a sliding door, and soon revealed a deep entrance.

Levi took the lead and walked in front, Sherlock followed, and the two entered the secret passage together.

As they entered deeper, both of them could understand why the three people had been able to hide here for so long without being discovered by the Archduke Stuart.

The rules covered by this city use the entire barrier as a boundary and only include the area within the barrier. However, this secret passage dug from the barrier is completely out of the scope of Newland's own rules and is equivalent to another area. A separate individual space.

Therefore, even if Archduke Stuart is as powerful as the Chosen One and can directly control a certain exact rule, he cannot find anything other than dividing two different spaces.

After walking about a kilometer, they finally emerged from the secret passage and came to a relatively open and spacious space.

This place looks like a safe house built by someone before. The ground is covered with expensive pure wooden floors and cashmere carpets. An exquisite and luxurious crystal lamp hangs from the ceiling, which is shining brightly. There are sofas, chairs, coffee tables, etc. The furniture is all available, and there is a tall and simple clock standing directly opposite the entrance of the secret passage, with the hands on it constantly turning.

There are some portraits on the surrounding walls. The people in the paintings are wearing crowns and costumes, looking like emperors.

After looking at the portraits on the wall for a few times, Sherlock basically figured out what kind of place this was.

"These are things from the old century. The emperor's portrait of the Wei family royal family. This should be a secret safe house that the Stuart family built for themselves after taking over Xinlan to prevent the family from having any accidents. A temporary hiding place.”

Levi didn't have much interest in this room.

"So, where are they?"

Sherlock looked at a corridor extending out to the right of the safe house, where there were several rooms with closed doors.

"Mr. and Madam Stuart, I am Sherlock Green, son of the current Grand Duke Green. My father received the message and location you sent, so he asked me to come here to help you!"

His voice was loud and echoed in the space long after it fell.

Not long after that, a door in the corridor was quietly opened from the inside.

A young man who looked to be less than thirty years old stuck his head out and glanced at Sherlock and Levi. After confirming that there were only two of them, he retracted his head again. After a while, he supported an older man It was very large, and an old woman with a cane came out of it again.

When the old woman saw Sherlock for the first time, she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and tears flowed from her eyes.

"Yes, you and your father look so much alike! I have seen him before, and now I can recognize you right away! You are finally here, great! The family is finally saved!"

Sherlock and Levi both noticed that they were the only two people walking out of the room. The young man should be Huck's cousin, the old woman was the Grand Duke's nominal "mother", and there was another person. ?

"Madam, where is your husband?" Sherlock asked.

Hearing this question, the old woman's eyes became even redder, and she cried with tears.

"His health was not good to begin with, and he became ill from worry over the years. He died of illness not long after escaping. I buried him in the innermost room, and he never saw the white-eyed wolf suffer retribution until his death. , I can’t rest in peace even if I die!”

Sherlock softly comforted the old woman, while Levi sat on the chair and spoke.

"Why don't you tell us first, madam, why has your son turned into a white-eyed wolf now?"

"He was never our son! Never! Our son was already killed by him!"

The old woman's voice became shrill, and soon, in her narration, the truth about the current Archduke Stuart emerged.

As Sherlock said, because of the different nature of the Stuart family, it cannot just think about inheriting the surname and abandoning the bloodline.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the future elected authority can always be passed down within the family, they encourage their clansmen to have more children and try to expand the number of family members. It does not matter even if the blood is thin, as long as the blood of the Stuart family flows in the body, no matter how thin they are, Also recognized.

The "parents" of the current Grand Duke are one of the many members of the Stuart family. As long as they and their descendants show excellent talents in science, they will have the opportunity to inherit the power of natural selection in the future. , took over the title and became the Lord of Xinlan.

But they didn't have any hope for this kind of thing. None of their family had any academic qualifications. They were basically just middle-class talents. Even if they could become scientists, they would only waste their lives at the first level until they died. There would be nothing at all. The possibility of advanced selection.

But one day, a family in the West Region, which was a vassal of the Stuart family, came to this family.

They forcibly controlled the "parents", kidnapped their biological children, and pushed another boy who was only 7 years old to their side, asking them to declare that this was their second son, who had been sickly and had been seeing a doctor in other cities before, and had only recently been brought home.

Although the "parents" were forced at first, they did not think that these people's whimsical plans would succeed.

Since the Stuart family understood the importance of blood, they naturally attached great importance to the authenticity of blood. Almost every member of the Stuart family who wanted to participate in the affairs of the family had to undergo DNA testing to ensure that there would be no fakes.

However, after the "parents" really raised the boy to adulthood and showed extremely excellent scientific talent, the family that coerced them did not know what they did, and even passed the Stuart family's own test!

This made the "parents" really feel terrified.

At that time, they realized that this was not a temporary decision, but a huge conspiracy that a group of people had been planning for a long time, with sufficient preparation and planning, and wanted to replace the dead with a dead!

Those people wanted to directly replace all the resources of the Stuart family, and shell the royal family that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years to complete their own transition!

What's more terrifying is that they really did it!

The boy who was sent to the "parents" and grew up in the name of the Stuart family became the only third-level scientist of his generation who was qualified to inherit the chosen one. Later, he sat on the position of duke smoothly and became the real master of Xinlan.

In these years, he also used the power in his hands to constantly suppress the original Stuart family members, help his party members avoid blood tests, and constantly occupy various important positions in Xinlan through frequent dissolution and reorganization of the government.

Now, they can be said to have achieved the greatest success.

If it weren't for the fact that this pair of "parents" had never been dealt with and had passed the news to the outside world alive, no one would have thought that the current Stuart family had long been completely replaced by people from another family and completed the backdoor listing!

After hearing the secret, Sherlock felt a chill. He couldn't imagine what kind of scheming and means the person who made such a plan had to actually accomplish such a thing.

Levi just sighed a few times. He only listened to stories about Li Dai Tao Jiang and the cat replacing the prince.

Now he is thinking about how to use this to kill people!
