Chapter 374: Leaking News

Remember !! one second [Wild Sand Literature Network] mobile phone user input:

As long as things in the world have happened, even if you think you are doing it secretly, it will still be discovered by someone with a heart.

Marianne's fleet sent the grain they had acquired in the five cities south of Castile to the Kingdom of Light in two separate shipments. Thanks to the help of the Earl of Naselli, the acquisition went very smoothly, and the dozen or so southern nobles contacted by the Count were able to provide enough food. The grain was eventually loaded onto a ship in a remote port outside Casares, with the promise that it would be sent to the New World.

It's a pity that even so, when the second batch of grain arrived in Weijia City, the eldest prince Charles, who was far away in the imperial capital, learned where this batch of grain went.

At this time, Xia Er sent someone to inquire about the negotiation envoys of the Bright Divine Kingdom who remained in the imperial capital, only to find that their station had already been empty, and the guys who showed up every day to deal with the pavilion service staff were just idlers hired by them in the imperial capital.

As for Wang Qing'an, the deputy envoy for negotiations, who knelt outside the palace gate for five days, is said to have left the imperial capital for more than two months.

From this point of view, it was not an accident that Xia Er was handed, and he was very satisfied with the gifts he received from them every once in a while, so he thought that he had eaten the delegation of the Bright God Kingdom to death, so he didn't take them seriously, and as a result, he didn't even know that important people like Wang Qing'an had been missing for a long time. Otherwise, we can find out the changes in the mission in advance and make corresponding preparations, so that the food will not be sent to Weijia, and we will only realize it later.

The enraged Charles smashed a white porcelain cup and tore two painting scrolls, including the scroll of Gu Qingshi's naughty boy fishing shrimp. Although he bet to lose the painting to his second brother at the time, Charles did not donate it on the pretext that the scroll had been damaged due to improper preservation, but only discounted it into a few thousand silver coins.

Well, now, it's ruined.

When Charles smashed things to vent, his brother François also got a report that Charles had discovered food smuggling.

François, who had mastered the Bureau of Investigation, attached great importance to the work of the newspaper, and when he learned of the situation, he immediately noticed something unusual about it.

Originally, the Investigation Bureau had already helped cover up this matter, which could ensure that there would be no problems with the several nobles who sold the grain and the docks involved in the loading. And he has confidence in Marianne's ability, thinking that it can't be the news leaked by Marianne's side.

So, what's the problem?

Upon learning that François was interested in the cause of the incident, the reporters of the Bureau of Investigation immediately pounced like dogs chasing frisbees.

It only took two days for the result to return to François's desk.

"Stuart's military office?"

François had a feeling that this was indeed the case, and that it was so!

Is their energy already so great? They can even spy on the newspaper of the Kingdom of Light, you must know that the Kingdom of Light is still a black hole for the Investigation Bureau.

One of the biggest reasons is that the household registration management of the Kingdom of Light is linked to the distribution of food, since the state is responsible for feeding everyone, then everyone must register with the government agency, and a spy who suddenly appears will be starved to death if he is not discovered by the masses. If you don't have a portion, you can't get food, and it's even more impossible to buy food.

It's even more impossible to rebel, faith is mysterious and powerful.

François naturally couldn't understand that Stuart's spy was actually supported by a few mandrills against the water, and he gave up when he couldn't figure this out, turning his attention back to the matter at hand.

The reporter concluded that Stuart's military office had told Charles what had happened in the Kingdom of Light, and that the purpose was naturally to sow discord between the two princes.

After all, Jacques, who appeared in the Kingdom of Light, once represented the Octopus team of the Second Prince in the Transcendent Tournament, and he was already clearly branded by the Second Prince.

Putting down the report, François pondered for a long time.

On the one hand, it lacks direct evidence, and on the other hand, it will appear that he is incapable, and he has not even arranged in advance to prevent the smuggling of grain from the Bright God Kingdom.

However, in this way, Jacques may be wanted for betraying the country, and it will be difficult for the guy who was originally favored by himself to be taken under his command.

After Marianne reported that the Kingdom of Light could only pay for food with silver coins, he had already guessed that Jacques must have received an exchange of great value. He would rather offend himself than have those things in his hands.

But in Jacques's view, what he did was only to consume his share with François, and François thought that Jacques owed himself a lot of people after this incident, and was more likely to be driven by himself.

Here François is still worried that Jacques will be wanted if the matter is exposed, how do he know that Jacques's share has long been shaken and become one of the decision-makers of the Kingdom of Light.

......

The system of the Kingdom of Light is very interesting, the temple has the supreme ruling power, which is both the supreme military commander and the supreme administrative body.

Originally, it was set up like this, and all power was vested in the god of light, but it was a pity that the former god of light slept for a long time, and the priests who really made decisions became the priests who served the god of light.

Most of the priests in the temple were dedicated to cultivating in the hope of breaking through that barrier and becoming omniscient, and these priests were called ascentics. They are not interested in anything other than cultivation, so they rarely participate in the management of the state. The rest of those who have no hope of promotion will seek some secular rights, and the appointment and dismissal of these priests from secular positions are the responsibility of the high priest alone, which naturally allows the high priest to firmly grasp the power in his hands.

The inheritance of the position of high priest has the characteristics of successive masters and apprentices, and no one can guarantee that all generations are amazingly talented, and they are more worried that the god of light will be held accountable when he occasionally wakes up, so the high priest is not monopolized by one family and one surname, but gradually forms a pattern in which the six major families take turns to serve as high priests.

Originally, Lin Jian was just an ordinary member of the priests, from a poor family, and with his extraordinary talent, he became a transcendent before the age of twelve, and became a sculptor before the age of twenty, so he was qualified to stay in the temple of Royol.

It was not from the six major families, and Lin Jian was not accepted as a disciple by Wu Tingshan, nor was he close to Wu Tingshan, so he naturally could not become one of the priests involved in the management of the country.

Such Lin Jian naturally became one of the ascetic priests, cultivating in the temple calmly.

Now that he has suddenly become a high priest, Lin Jian was frightened, confused, and ecstatic, but in the end he still performed his duties indifferently.

However, he soon found out that he originally thought that the God of Light would personally give orders to him, but he didn't expect that it was the Black Mountain God Hei Shuo who really arranged everything, and he couldn't even see the face of the God of Light!

Later, after many observations, Lin Jian found that although it was the Black Mountain God who gave orders every time, before that, the Black Mountain God had to discuss with the White Mountain God, and occasionally the young man from Xisara would also hold his fat cat to participate in it.

Is that good?

The Black and White Mountain God actually asked an outsider to discuss affairs together, even if this person was a guest of the God of Light, there was still some ......

Incomprehensible.

Jacques himself can't adapt to his current role, and Fat Orange will definitely discuss and listen to his own opinions before making a decision, which will require him to spend a lot of time understanding the various situations in the Kingdom of Light.
