Wayne directly put the list and account books back into the wooden box without any intention of handing them over to Chris and Tasia.
But because his movements were so natural, Chrissy didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Now that we have it, let's return to the capital as soon as possible." She said. If we delay for a long time, I'm afraid something will happen again.
"That's right." Wayne nodded in agreement. Is Horace not so crazy that he has memorized all the ledgers and lists?
Wayne was secretly glad that he had thrown him back to his house next door. After Tasia's treatment, his injuries improved a lot, and his magic power should have recovered a lot.
However, it’s hard to tell with the broken legs. But with the company of his beloved girl, the days when Horace hides and recuperates probably won't be too difficult.
At first, Wayne didn't think about anything else. It was purely to give him a place to hide for a while and avoid possible pursuit.
After all, I couldn't contact him immediately, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why I knew his whereabouts.
This kind of matter should still be entrusted to reliable people to handle. ...If he is smart enough, he'd better hide for a little longer and wait until the dust settles on his side before coming out.
While thinking this, Wayne took the wooden box back to the carriage and placed it directly under the driver's seat.
Seeing his very careless behavior, Chris, who had been following behind him, couldn't help but show a very disgusted expression towards him.
"Ladies, get in the car!" Wayne grabbed the reins that were tied to a branch. As a result, this weekend trip did not achieve the expected goal and brought back a big problem.
Do you... want to help Mr. Franz hide it? He turned around and glanced at the two girls who happened to be in the car at the moment.
--no. Horace only gave the key to himself. And, when they came to retrieve the wooden box, the exterior was still intact.
If someone discovers that a page is missing or that a certain place has been altered, they will easily become suspicious of themselves.
So, what about the evidence of self-direction and self-performance being stolen? But in this way, Horace's crisis cannot be relieved, and Alik's crime cannot be recognized. He is condoning adultery!
Alas, it would be better to inform Miss Songli privately first and let Minister Franz find another way to escape the crime.
Wayne thought. Accepting bribes has become a common practice in the kingdom. It is precisely for this reason that the intensity of processing can be large or small.
He couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Franz. The Edgeworth family was already so rich, so why were they so unscrupulous about making money?
...Of course, even Wayne secretly scolded Franz all the way back, but in front of Miss Song Li, he had the good sense to swallow all those disrespectful words.
After reporting the matter to Duke Elliot in detail, Wayne did not dare to delay, turned around and hurried to the Edgeworth house.
Fortunately, Miss Kali did not go out, but stayed in the piano room and practiced the violin seriously. When she accidentally raised her head, she was caught off guard and saw Wayne climbing in through the half-open window.
Her eyes widened, her expression a mix of shock and panic.
"You're crazy, it's daytime now!" Ge Li lowered her voice subconsciously.
"What happened during the day?" Wayne didn't know why. But he quickly came to his senses and said angrily: "I came to you for a business matter! And it's imminent!" Ge Li was slightly startled and put down the piano and bow in his hands.
He stood up again and locked the door of the piano room.
"What's wrong?" She brought her own cup, which was placed aside, to Wayne and explained, "The maid just brought it in not long ago, and I haven't drunk it yet."
"It doesn't matter if you've drank." Wayne said casually. After driving non-stop, he happened to be a little thirsty.
After a long gulp, Wayne took a breath and told Ge Li that Franz was going to be in trouble.
"Duke Elliot just said to leave it all to him and let us have a good rest," he said.
"Although I don't know when he will officially expose it, I guess it won't take too long. I have to go back as soon as possible to avoid exposing the secret." Geli's expression was also a little solemn, but he was not particularly at a loss.
At least, he was obviously not as panicked as he was when he suddenly saw Wayne.
"Are you sure there are only those records?"
"Sure." On the way back, Wayne went through the evidence in detail while he was sitting in the front driver's seat.
Chris and the others were sitting in the carriage, with their vision blocked. Unless they stuck their heads out, it was difficult to spot Wayne's little movements.
"Ge Li..." He finally couldn't help but persuaded: "I think there are so many ways to make money in this world. How about we use other ways to get money in the future?" Thinking of how Alik got that money Yes, Wayne's conscience was a little uneasy.
Ge Li glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Do you think my family is the only one who usually takes bribes?" she sneered.
"Didn't such a thick roster make you sober?"
"No..." Wayne didn't know how to describe this feeling.
"It's just that I know that this is not good." It's not because of the Virgin Mary or because she wants to be a moral perfect person. But... he still has sympathy for ordinary people who are exploited.
Even though he has traveled back in time for more than five years, he still cannot do what some nobles do, expelling the lower class people and humiliating them wantonly.
"Since your Edgeworth family is not short of money, why don't you cherish your feathers?" He was puzzled.
Just like the Wincher family. He is also a great nobleman and has a rich family fortune, but there has never been any scandal of corruption or bribery in Duke Elliot.
In every respect, Elliot Winche was a true aristocrat, worthy of his much admired reputation.
——If I had to find one shortcoming in this person, it would probably be giving birth to a daughter like Chris who was not up to expectations.
However, Song Li was full of disdain
There was a "chi" sound.
"In a group, animals with different coat colors will be excluded..." she said,
"Do you understand what I mean?" Wayne was speechless.
"But wasn't Duke Elliot excluded?" he said dryly. When it came to the Wenche family, Ge Li's attitude became a little impatient: "That's because he doesn't need to be gregarious!" She turned her head to the side and praised reluctantly.
"The Wenche family has reached its peak of power since the previous generation of Dukes won a complete victory in the Battle of the Brumaire. Among the people, even the king's prestige is slightly inferior to them."
