Chapter 340 Almost Headshot

Taylor looked at a group of laughing young nobles, as if he saw a group of second-generation Americans instead of English nobles.

Curiously, he asked Li Changheng, "Henry, is it okay for you to joke about the duke and the former minister like this?"

"Don't worry," Li Changheng said with a smile, "If Lord Mountbatten finds out about this, he will send Geoffrey and Freddie to military training for a few days at most.

Then, while watching the two of them crawling in the mud pit, they felt complacent. "

"God," Jeffrey said nervously when he heard Li Changheng's words, "If Fred and I are really called to military training, I promise to reveal everything you have done.

Then we crawled through the mud puddles together. "

At this moment, no one spoke anymore. Ten seconds later, there were all kinds of threats from Andrew and others to Jeffrey.

Li Changheng, who was watching, shook his head and smiled at Taylor, "After you really get in touch with the nobles, you will find that although this group of people has a good side, there are still various rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

In essence, it is no different from the high society in the United States. "

Taylor sighed and nodded, "There really isn't much difference.

No wonder many people say that the royal family and the consortium families of the United States, the only thing that can protect themselves is the sense of mystery. "

"It's impossible," Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, "Just wait and see, the people who will have the least privacy in the future will be those you mentioned besides celebrities."

"Why?"

Andrew interrupted suddenly, "The royal family has the right to review news, and for a rich man like you, it's not difficult to deal with reporters and the media, right?"

Li Changheng just shrugged, "You will know in the future."

When everyone has a mobile phone with a camera, everyone is self-media.

As long as you are newsworthy and you can sell any photo for money, you are a mobile source of income.

Patting Andrew on the shoulder, Li Changheng said with a smile, "In the future, you will get used to it gradually, and then you will be able to find a way to deal with it when you suffer.

As for now, I advise you to be more honest so as not to suffer a big loss in the future. "

A group of young aristocrats in their 20s except for Bell, who is over 30, can't feel the embarrassment and shame when they are picked up by the media.

Seeing that Li Changheng didn't want to explain, it didn't take long to throw his warning into the sky.

Hunting is actually dispensable to Li Changheng, especially when the target is small animals such as pheasants and quails, he always feels uninterested.

If it's brown bears, lions, tigers, wild boars, wolves, that's another story.

A group of people came to the outside of the woods, waiting for the foxhound farmer to separate four people into the woods to drive away pheasants and quails.

Seeing Taylor's eagerness to try, Li Changheng simply handed over his shotgun and ammunition to him.

I stood aside thinking about whether to go back to London directly.

Soon there were pheasants and quails in the forest, and the sound of flapping wings.

Immediately there was a series of shooting sounds all around.

As long as pheasants and quail are shot down, the foxhounds hovering around everyone will rush over quickly, bite the prey and run back.

It also actively piles up prey near the head dog.

The frequency of pheasants and quails flying out in the forest is about one every thirty seconds.

It must be that the four farmers who entered the woods deliberately maintained this frequency, so that the shooters had no time to stop and would not be idle.

No wonder Anne said that it costs at least 1,000 pounds a year to raise a family of foxhounds like this.

In other words, this money can easily support a family of five in the countryside.

And except for autumn and winter, they can also farm at other times, and they can look for cattle, horses or other jobs.

Life is much better than the average family.

For nobles, these people are dedicated to providing the most comfortable service for themselves and their guests.

Because face is often more important than anything else.

At 5:00 p.m., only one hour before the afternoon tea at 6:00 p.m., everyone walked back talking and laughing.

But as soon as he returned to the manor, he heard a surprising news.

John Gosford, who went to participate in fox hunting, was accidentally shot by a bullet from nowhere, rubbing his ear and almost hitting his head.

Li Changheng frowned and looked at Earl Gosford, who had a piece of skin missing from his ear.

But looking at his expression, apart from being upset, it seemed that he really thought it was just a stray bullet.

Is the old man really stupid, or is he calmly waiting for the guests to leave before investigating?

Li Changheng soon felt that it must be the latter.

Since it missed, it is not easy to find the bullet outdoors.

Moreover, the shotgun is full of small steel balls, making it more difficult to find, and no ballistic test has been done yet.

If there were no direct witnesses to this incident, it would be a case without a clue.

Only privately asked every foxhound farmer who followed him, where was everyone who participated in the foxhunt at that time.

Or, he knows who wants to harm him.

Because I have a handle in the hands of others, so I can't speak up?

Or maybe the other party is too powerful to be identified without certain evidence?

Who is the most powerful in the entire Gosford Manor?

The first thing Li Changheng thought of was Mountbatten.

But his doubts about the old man were dismissed by him in just a few seconds.

Now that Sylvia has that kind of relationship with him, this matter has nothing to do with love killing.

Because even if Gosford died, it was impossible for Sylvia to marry Mountbatten.

According to the new noble law in 1965, Gosford's title and wealth will be inherited by his daughter Isabel after his death.

A widowed woman with no money, not to mention marrying an aristocrat, even a wealthy man with a little money would find it difficult.

Since the possibility of love killing is extremely low, Mountbatten, who is richer than Gosford himself, has nothing to do with wealth unless he can marry Isabel.

But this is even more impossible.

One or two hundred years ago, nobles might not have cared so much about marriages between distant relatives.

But in this day and age, he would definitely be scolded to death, and it would be a huge international scandal.

The rest is vendetta?

Could it be that Mountbatten's dismissal of the Minister of Defense by Downing Street has something to do with John Gosford?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changheng felt that this was impossible.

The current England leader is Wilson of the Public Party.

This guy only has scruples about the royal family and Philip, and has to protect the royal family because of power and balancing the relationship between the parties.

In his eyes, other nobles are only useful or not.

An earl who stays in the country all year round, does he really have such great ability and network, can he let the public party dismiss a good man who enjoys a high reputation among nobles and honest guests, or is it a good person who balances everyone's relationship?

If love, vendetta, and money are all irrelevant, Li Changheng really can't imagine that Mountbatten could be suspected.

Then continue to use the method of exclusion to count.

Who benefits the most from Gosford's death.
