Codex Pirates

Chapter 150 Wrath

Arcadio wiped his mouth lightly with his napkin after supper.

Seeing his only son sitting across the dining table, Aureliano trotted courteously to the wine cabinet in the house and took out a bottle of honey wine filled with golden liquid.

Some time ago, I don’t know where a rumor started to spread, saying that honey wine has extremely high nutritional value, can help the human body resist diseases, improve immunity, maintain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, and also have beneficial effects on sleep and prolong life. .

Later, this kind of rumor seemed to have a greater impact. Even many newspapers in the East China Sea mentioned this incident. The experts in the newspapers also popularized knowledge for readers, saying that it is not wine that is so magical, but the role of honey itself. According to research, The mead with honey as raw material does contain physiologically active substances necessary for the human body, which can promote metabolism and resist aging...  

Arcadio, an old man with such a high position and weight, who has gone through most of his life, naturally doesn't care about the high price of mead, and there are a bunch of inexplicable words in the newspaper. He doesn't understand anything about fructose or minerals. Care about the things that are good for your body and prolong your life as mentioned above.

Moreover, the expensive and high-grade mead itself is also in line with Arcadio's identity, so after reading the news, he has followed the news in the newspaper every day to drink a small glass of mead after dinner, and he has maintained this habit It's been a few months.

As the only son who also lived under the same roof, Aureliano naturally knew about Arcadio's habit, but Aureliano was not usually so considerate.

Arcadio squinted his eyes, watched Aureliano pour mead for the two of them one after another, and then said lightly: "Why are you so attentive, did you cause some trouble again?"

"No, absolutely not!" Aureliano assured repeatedly.

"Would you be so kind without you?" Arcadio asked without touching his glass, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I really didn't cause any trouble." Aureliano sipped the mead awkwardly. "It's just that I had some conflicts with others. I want to ask my father to make the decision for me. Let Chloe come forward and help me out."

"Who can you have a conflict with?" Arcadio was a little amused: "You guys want the investigation bureau of Crowe to come forward for those trivial matters? You still want me to pass the message?"

"If my words are useful, there's no need to ask you." Aureliano muttered.

"Have you been looking for Crowe?" Arcadio frowned after hearing this, "Crowe didn't pay attention?"

Seeing that Aureliano nodded, Arcadio felt a little dissatisfied. He was not dissatisfied because Crow did not decide to help Aureliano privately, but because Crow did not report to him afterwards or during the process.

No matter how illiterate Aureliano is, he is also Arcadio's only son. Crowe doesn't take Aureliano's affairs to heart. Another person, such as William, may appreciate Crowe's prudent performance. It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's a bit uncomfortable for someone like Arcadio.

In his opinion, everything about Crowe was given by him. Even if the matter of Aureliano is not worthy of Crowe's investigation bureau, Crowe should show it because of Aureliano's identity. pay enough attention.

"A dog doesn't take all the matters of the master's house into its heart, so it should be tapped." Arcadio snorted, picked up the wine glass, and when he looked at Aureliano, his movements stopped. up.

Aureliano's face was livid, his eyes protruded, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he tightly covered his throat with his hands.

Boom!

The glass in Arcadio's hand fell to the floor and shattered.

...

The atmosphere in the aristocratic district has been a little weird these two days.

Arcadio’s only son, the poisoning of Aureliano, was not a secret. Although Aureliano was rescued from the brink of death by doctors in the end, the reaction caused by this incident could not be easily understood by others. pulled back.

After many inquiries, many people already knew that Aureliano was poisoned by drinking the mead that Arcadio usually drank.

Moreover, someone also discovered that William seemed to have disappeared for the past two days, and he never showed up. The connection with Aureliano's poisoning from drinking Arcadio's wine made many people think about it.

In the Chancellor's House, Arcadio was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, leaning on a cane, listening to Crowe's report with a blank face.

"Actually, I also met someone who poisoned me the day before yesterday," Ke Luo wiped his cold sweat and said nervously, "but you also know, my lord, since I became the director of this investigation bureau, I have offended many people, and there are no nobles. It’s easy to handle the title, similar things have actually happened to me before, so I didn’t get killed this time, and I didn’t report it to you specifically.”

"I just didn't expect that someone would poison you, my lord, this is really, really..." Crowe looked confused and nervous, which fits the image of a person who is worried about his backer being knocked down, "Desperate! "

Arcadio's face became gloomy, when the door was suddenly opened, and the butler Eaton approached, shaking his head at Arcadio who turned to look at him.

"Master, Stolt's people said that he is not in Kalmar City." Eaton said carefully after standing with his hands tied.

"Even Stolter is missing," Arcadio laughed angrily, "he was still there two days ago! Did he fail to get the trick, but was scared out of his wits? Or was he poisoned, so Are you guarding against others?"

Arcadio slammed his cane on the ground: "These people not only want to kill me, but also want to uproot my influence!"

"My lord, what should I do next?" Crowe asked.

"Look, you must find me the person who poisoned you!" Arcadio gritted his teeth and said, this time it was Aureliano who was poisoned, if it was the next time, who can guarantee that it won't be him who was poisoned, And whether he can survive like Aureliano.

Arcadio ordered the housekeeper Eaton again: "You do everything you can to contact me with Stolt, I want to know whether he is dead or alive."

"As for myself, I want to go to the palace to meet His Majesty, and let him know how much risk I, an old minister, have taken in order to safeguard the supreme monarchy, and how loyal my Buendia family is!"

...

When Arcadio got angry because of the poisoning incident, William, whom he had been looking for, was sitting on the boat reviewing documents.

The direction of the ship is Hongye Village. William has been focusing on Kalmar City for the past year. This time he just took the opportunity to leave to inspect the work of Hongye Village, especially the shipyard. William has high hopes for this. He has spent countless Baileys on building factories and recruiting people. He will definitely not be satisfied after the shipyard reaches the average shipbuilding level of the East China Sea, or even makes a slight progress.
