Doomsday Code

Chapter 212: Affairs in the Palace

"Okay, don't be so serious. You should know that sometimes when people reach a certain position and do things, they can't follow their own will.

It's like our King. Judging from the recent support, I can see that His Majesty is not as mean and ungrateful as you say. If it weren't for His Majesty's support in the front, it would be a blessing from God that you can get half of these supplies now.

But even so, His Majesty the King, who sits in that position, still goes against his will and drives your youngest son to this godforsaken place."

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and joked about Huidun and Moss XIII.

However, Huidun was not as relaxed as him. After experiencing a series of events in the past six months, Huidun had finally seen through some of the fog in front of him.

For example, as Chen Cheng mentioned His Majesty the King, in the past he would only think that his father was a mean and ungrateful person who would ignore his son for the sake of his so-called reputation.

It was just a random provocation from others. He did not give his son any chance to explain and directly exiled him to the poorest and most remote area of the kingdom.

However, based on what he knew about what had happened in the capital recently, a large portion of the officials who had been arrested because of the Emile incident were the same officials who had once reported against him.

Later, the relief supplies were distributed to him in full, and he knew that his father and mother must have played a role in this.

"Thank you."

Huidun spoke in a calm tone.

However, Chen Cheng could hear the sincere gratitude in his plain words.

“Don’t be so sad. It’s normal for children not to understand their parents, because in the eyes of children, only what they think is good is good. If His Majesty the King and his family had really saved you, then maybe you and I would not have met now.

It is not too late for you to understand your parents' painstaking efforts now. We must work hard in the future and at least give His Majesty the King a little shock."

Huidun looked at the way Chen Cheng talked to the old father and the child, and the emotions he had just built up disappeared. He really didn't know why this guy Chen Cheng always wanted to make trouble when his emotions were the most intense.

When Chen Cheng saw Huidun's ugly face, he knew that it was almost time for him to retreat.

He immediately stood up and said as if nothing had happened:

"That's what's going on. My Lord Earl, you should go and hold a meeting with those petty nobles and ask them to recruit workers to build a new school. I will ask Baron Kekeber to bring the blueprints later.

There is nothing for me to do here anymore, so I will leave now."

Chen Cheng finished speaking these words as quickly as a jingle, and then rushed out of the door.

Behind him, Huidun could no longer hold back and shouted out his name in this life, which scared Chen Cheng so much that he ran out of the Earl's Mansion.

Looking at Chen Cheng's fleeing back, Huidun smiled. At this time, a servant came forward and wanted to ask whether to stop Chen Cheng. After all, the earl's shouting just now did not sound like he was happy.

Huidun waved his hand and said with a slightly clever look:

“Do your job well.”

The servant was also shocked when he saw Huidun's expression.

Chen Cheng waved his hand, and he retreated in fear and trepidation.

"count."

The Earl's housekeeper, Tru, appeared behind Huidun without knowing when, but Huidun said without turning back:

"That guard should resign, and bring me the servant that Torre found before."

Tru replied yes, and just as he was about to leave, Huidun spoke again:

"Go, take my invitations to the houses of the various viscounts and barons in the city. I want to invite them to attend the banquet tonight to celebrate the initial completion of the disaster relief."

Tru responded yes again.

Just as he was about to leave, Huidun's voice drifted into his ears:

"If Torre was here, he would never do such a stupid thing."

After hearing this, Tru's face became even more frightened.

In the servants' courtyard of the Earl's Mansion, Tru walked in with a gloomy face.

At this time, the servant who had been scolded by Huidun before was venting his anger by smashing things in the room where he lived with a somewhat indignant look on his face.

At this moment, Tru opened the door and walked in.

When the servant saw Tru, he did not calm down, but became even more resentful:

"Uncle, Lord Earl, what is this..."

However, before he could finish his words, Tru slapped him against the wall.

The story of the fan flying onto the wall is not an exaggeration but a real thing.

As the steward of the Earl's Mansion, how could Tru not have some ability?

"Idiot, how could our family have such an idiot like you?"

The servant fell from the wall to the ground, and blood foam kept coming out of his mouth.

Tru didn't hold back at all this time. Half of his nephew's face was swollen like a pig's head, and his jaw was dislocated by the slap.

The situation here was soon noticed by other servants who were on duty.

These servants are usually bullied by the guys inside because they take advantage of the fact that they are Tru's nephew, and today, seeing him being taught a lesson, these people are naturally very happy.

Soon, those who were leaning against the windows of their rooms to watch the fun saw Tru dragging his nephew out of the room like a dead dog.

At this moment, two servants happened to return to the yard after their duty. Tru ordered them to carry his nephew out of the house.

If Huidun had not said so beforehand and just fired him, Tru would have killed him on the spot for his stupid behavior today.

After dealing with the matter of his stupid nephew, Tru called over his former servant, whom he had replaced to become a principal in the palace, and asked him if he was willing to return to the Earl's side as a servant.

Of course he was willing to do so, but he was also afraid that this was a trap set by Tru.

Intrigues among the earl's servants often occur. For example, he was replaced because he was promoted by Knight Commander Torre.

But Tru had no intrigue in mind at this time. He directly pointed out that this was the earl's arrangement.

After doing all this, Tru prepared several invitations from the Earl and then personally took them to various mansions to deliver the invitations.

Huidun upstairs saw all this clearly through the observation tower. At the same time, he also knew that in this small earl's mansion, there were less than fifty servants and there were constant intrigues.

However, he only hoped that after this warning, the old butler Tru would be able to manage the affairs of the mansion, otherwise he would not mind changing him.

Chen Cheng returned to his desk and took out two plans from his drawer. He looked at the first exchange plan. Perhaps this plan could be handed over to Baron Keckber.

Among his noble subordinates, only Kekeber had experience in business, and he was also one of the very few who could transform from a businessman into a noble.
