Chapter 423 Guessing and Association

Although the British royal family is now more of a symbol in the Kingdom of England, the actual power is far from what it was in the past. It is the Congress that really controls the power of the kingdom, but the reputation of the British royal family is not due to its power.

However, because it has been separated from the political whirlpool, the British royal family can free up their hands to do other things, such as establishing orphanages, establishing education funds for the poor and other charitable undertakings, making the British royal family's reputation even higher than in the past.

A few years ago, the British royal family established the Royal Chamber of Commerce, which was responsible for managing the royal family's industry, and prepared to form an ocean-going caravan to conduct ocean-going trade.

Originally, everyone thought that there were only one or two ocean-going merchant ships established by the British royal family, so they did not pay too much attention to this matter. However, more than a year ago, the British royal family's ocean-going merchant ships held a sailing ceremony and began their first ocean-going trade.

At that time, they discovered that the fleet formed by the British royal family actually amounted to fifty-four ships, all of which were the latest steamships. They could be regarded as a regular national fleet.

Someone has calculated that the money spent by the British royal family on this fleet may have emptied the royal family's private treasury. If something happens to this fleet, then the royal family may go bankrupt.

In the eyes of everyone who is familiar with ocean-going trade, the British royal family's approach is very risky. Many people are waiting to see the royal family's joke, because many people who are familiar with ocean-going trade know that the royal fleet chose the wrong time to sail.

It is the typhoon period in the ocean. At this time, almost all ocean-going ships have stopped sailing at the port.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the British royal family's fleet seemed to be blessed by the sea god. As long as the fleet was at sea, the sea area where it was located was calm, and even if there was wind, it was always a favorable wind. Only when the ship

Severe weather such as typhoons only occurs when the team is resting in port.

With a unique ocean-going trade fleet during the typhoon period, the Yingge royal family monopolized almost all of the ocean-going trade. The fleet circled the three continents of Velen. After returning to the Kingdom of Yinge, the wealth of the Yinge royal family increased in a short time.

It has increased nearly five times, and not only has the initial investment been recouped, but also a huge profit has been made.

It would be nothing if only one ocean trade around the continent went so smoothly. After that, the British royal family conducted the same ocean trade three more times, and the results were still extremely smooth. On the last ocean trade, some adventurous ship owners even mistakenly thought that there would be no typhoon period this year.

Driven by greed, he followed the British royal fleet and sailed the fleet into the sea.

As a result, all these ships encountered typhoons and eventually sank to the bottom of the sea. Only one ship saw that something was wrong and took refuge on a desert island in advance. In the end, the crew survived, but the ship was torn apart in the typhoon and sank into the sea.

.

At this time, everyone in the Yingge Kingdom remembered that the Yingge royal family had always claimed to be members of the Poseidon and the sons of the Poseidon. However, no one took this claim seriously. Everyone just thought that this was an attempt by the Yingge royal family to make their identity more obvious.

Be more extraordinary and lay the foundation for your royal status.

But now, the miraculous performance of the British royal family's ocean-going fleet during the typhoon period has made everyone remember the British royal family's self-proclaimed name, and many people believe that the British royal family may really be the sons of Poseidon. Otherwise, how could it be possible?

It's so magical that there is no typhoon when the ship is at sea, and the typhoon comes when the ship docks.

According to this miraculous performance, it is not difficult for the British royal family to become the new maritime trade overlord. However, in the end, the British royal family knew how to give up when the situation was good. After the typhoon period passed, they returned all ships to the dock.

Rest and announce that this time the ocean trade is over, the next voyage will still be during the typhoon period.

Although the ocean-going trade during the typhoon period of the British Royal Family had some impact on the prices of various commodities, after the cargoes of more than 50 ships were invested in various countries on the three continents of Velon, the number of commodities in the entire Velon world was only a drop in the ocean.

That's all, it won't have much impact at all. It's because of this that the Royal Family of England, a new fleet joining the ocean-going trade, has not encountered the obstruction of the old ocean-going trading fleet such as the Duke of Buckingham.

However, due to the injection of abundant funds, the British royal family's charitable undertakings to enhance their reputation have been further expanded.

Nowadays in the Kingdom of England, there may be people who are dissatisfied with Congress and curse members of Congress or government officials, but few people will curse the Royal Family of England. This situation also makes Congress worry that the Royal Family of England wants to use its current reputation to regain its reputation.

After taking power, they promulgated some laws restricting philanthropy. However, this measure not only did not weaken the reputation of the British royal family, but also made the parliament's reputation among the people even lower. It has even dissolved parliament and returned power to the royal family.

The voice appeared among the people.

It is precisely because the reputation of the British royal family has begun to affect the political situation of the entire British kingdom that the dignitaries in Port Set have to deal with any matters related to the royal family with caution.

In their view, it is certainly not simple for Leo to receive a large amount of real estate as a gift from the British royal family, and the relationship between Leo and the British royal family is also extraordinary.

Later, they also found out that Leo seemed to have some relationship with the old man Rembrandt, which made them feel even more amazing. After all, Leo, who was born and raised in the Kingdom of England, had a relationship with the Royal Family of England and could be explained by the reason that the royal family was an illegitimate child.

, but for an ordinary civilian from the Kingdom of England to have a relationship with a well-known scholar like Rembrandt, they were really confused.

In these days, some wealthy businessmen and powerful people found out that Leo was the real employer of the Duke of Buckingham's former butler Sanges. They felt that this was an opportunity to please the Duke of Buckingham in disguise and wanted to deal with Leo. Before they could think of it,

How to start? Rumors about Leo's complicated relationship with the British royal family and his deep relationship with Rembrandt reached their ears. This forced them to re-examine Leo's identity and consider the pros and cons.

.

Although the Duke of Buckingham controls nearly 70% of the ocean trade of the Kingdom of England, and almost all the merchants and dignitaries involved in business in the Kingdom of England depend on him, everyone can now see that the British royal family is catching up from behind. According to the British

With the development momentum of the Georgian royal family, as long as the aura of the son of Poseidon does not fade away, it will be a matter of time before the English royal family replaces the Duke of Buckingham and becomes the leader of the maritime trade of the Kingdom of England.

If Leo really has a deep relationship with the British royal family, then their dealing with Leo is equivalent to going against the British royal family. In order to please the Duke of Buckingham, who has already begun to decline, they offend the British royal family with unlimited potential.

A simple calculation of pros and cons would obviously allow anyone with a little bit of brainpower to make a correct judgment.

So these thoughtful people restrained their thoughts and set their sights on Duke Buckingham's property in Port Sète to see what Duke Buckingham's people were going to do. After a few days, they discovered that Bai Jin

Duke Han didn't seem to care at all about his former butler being hired, and he didn't take any targeted actions. They couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't do anything too rash.

However, what they didn't know was that Leo returned to Port Set, accepted the industry, and continued to employ Sanges. These matters had been placed in the form of documents on the Duke of Buckingham's desk as early as the day after Leo came back.

, and the head of the organization responsible for helping Duke Buckingham handle some special matters also came to Duke Buckingham's office.

"He knew that Sanges was my former butler and still chose to continue employing him. It seems that he is confident!" Duke Buckingham closed the document in his hand and threw it casually into the wastebasket beside him, waiting for the servant to put them away.

Burn the waste paper filled with various intelligence materials.

The Duke of Buckingham of this generation is very young, only in his thirties. Like the previous Dukes of Buckingham, he has an exquisite face, but with a young appearance, his head is covered with scattered white hair, which makes him look...

He looks much older than his actual age.

Almost all of these gray hairs were produced in the past ten years after he took over the title and estate of the Duke of Buckingham. It was obvious that he spent a lot of energy to maintain the Duke of Buckingham's giant ship sailing smoothly on the sea.

After becoming the Duke of Buckingham, he discovered that the Buckingham ship, which in his eyes was extremely strong, was riddled with holes. There were loopholes everywhere, and there were countless moths from the inside out, which would make the ship's appearance infinitely beautiful at any time.

The giant ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

In order to maintain the family business, the Duke of Buckingham tried every means to eliminate the moths in his subordinate organizations, repair all the loopholes, and solve some potential threats. In order to avoid accidents, he even eliminated the family of his friends who grew up together. The reason

Just because that friend has some blood relationship with the hostile force he wants to eliminate.

Although he did everything secretly and did not leave any evidence, as long as he did anything, it would still leave traces. Many people guessed what happened in the Kingdom of England from some clues.

Some tragedies have the shadow of the Duke of Buckingham. Although there is no evidence to prove these speculations, some things do not require evidence, so he also has the title of the Bloody Duke.

A few years ago, Sanges, the butler who had served the Duke of Buckingham Palace for more than 60 years, suddenly submitted his resignation and wanted to resign as a butler and leave the Duke of Buckingham Palace.

At that time, everyone thought that Sanges was dead, because Sanges had been Duke of Buckingham's butler for so many years, and he must have known a lot of secrets about Duke Buckingham, let alone a vicious person like Duke Buckingham.

Even an ordinary noble family would not let such a person who knows their secrets leave.

What was unexpected was that the Duke of Buckingham actually agreed to Sanges's resignation, allowed Sanges to leave with his family, and also paid a large sum of severance pay.

Everyone was waiting and watching, thinking that the Duke of Buckingham was just pretending to do this, and there must be follow-up. However, for more than a year, the Sanjes family was still alive and well, but the owners of large and small factories, wealthy businessmen and powerful people in Port Sète where he lived because of

Because of the Duke of Buckingham, he did not dare to hire Sanges, so Sanges could only sit and eat.

After that, some people with ulterior motives tried to hire Sanges. These people mainly wanted to find out various secrets about the Duke of Buckingham from Sanges, but without exception, these people were all secretly solved by the Duke of Buckingham.

, as if the Duke of Buckingham used Sanges as bait to lure those hostile forces.

As for those who are uninformed and think that something happened to those who tried to hire Sanges, it was entirely a warning given by the Duke of Buckingham to let the powerful people in Port Sète know what happened to those who tried to hire Sanges, so as to stop them.

Sanges's source of income was to starve the Sanges family to death, in order to tell other servants of the Duke of Buckingham's Palace that no one could leave the Duke of Buckingham's Palace.

Therefore, for a long time, Sanges was regarded as a plague-like existence by the powerful people in Port of Set, and they did not dare to approach him at all, for fear of causing the Duke of Buckingham to misunderstand him.

It wasn't until Nelson appeared that the situation changed. Nelson hired Sanges on Leo's behalf to guard the properties transferred from the royal family.

This news was also sent to the hands of Duke Buckingham as soon as possible, but Duke Buckingham did not say anything or do anything, so Sanges lived peacefully for a few years, which also made the people of Buckingham Palace

They almost forgot that there was someone who knew their secret.

Now Leo's sudden appearance made Duke Buckingham's subordinates think of Sanges again and felt that Duke Buckingham might need to do something, so a supervisor who specially handled some special matters for Duke Buckingham was elected to inquire.

information.

"Your Highness, do we need to do anything?" the supervisor asked tentatively.

"What are you going to do?" Duke Buckingham asked coldly.

People familiar with Duke Buckingham knew very well that Duke Buckingham was expressing his dissatisfaction at this time, so the supervisor did not speak out his thoughts, but just lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.

"You want to get rid of Sanges or that Leo Dodd, right?" Duke Buckingham directly revealed his subordinate's thoughts, and then asked: "But you know that Leo Dodd

Is there anything special about it?”

"Are you talking about the identity of the royal family's illegitimate child that is rumored by the outside world? I have checked this matter, and Leo Dodd is definitely not the royal family's illegitimate child." The supervisor answered with certainty, and continued: "Me too

After investigating the real estate matters, the investigation found that the real estate acquired by Leo Dodd was mainly managed by the Donald family, while Sean Donald was mainly responsible for the transfer. Along with the two properties, Nelson Ma was also transferred.

The villa in the Garden District where Mr. and Mrs. Xiu live, and the warehouse tavern named by Jason, the president of the Porters Union. Considering the time when Sean Donald returned from the French Empire, I think it may be Leo Dodd, Nelson Ma

Mr. and Mrs. Xiu and that Jason did something to be kind to Sean Donald, causing Sean Donald to give those properties to them in return, so they should not have anything to do with the royal family."

"Well, it's great that you can figure out so much with the little information in your hand." As the Duke of Buckingham spoke, he took out a document from the drawer, threw it to the other party, and said, "Let's take a look!"
