Marianne noticed that not only Jacques, but also several other friends had strange faces, grabbed Lily beside her and asked, "Do you know the envoy?"

Lily whispered, "Yes, Claudia, who participated in the Misty Forest Challenge with Jacques last year. ”

Fabian added, "We've been allied, comrades-in-arms who fought together!"

Alisa also added: "I also ate mutton hot pot together and drank wine together." ”

Jacques finally stabbed: "Claudia von Schweiger, there is an unreliable elder in my family who happens to be her uncle. ”

What and what!

Marianne didn't expect that these friends would know the Imperial Envoy, and they were quite close!

But Jacques was even more puzzled, and asked, "How did she become an imperial envoy? Isn't she a Saxon? Her father seems to be a marquis." ”

Marianne murmured, "Schweig, von Schweig...... She's the daughter of the Marquis of Schweiger! I can probably guess that she may have married into the royal family, with which Saxony has always had a tradition.

I don't know if I married several princes, the eldest prince...... Although the blood relationship is relatively close, I calculate, the mother of the Marquis of Schweig and the mother of the empress are sisters, and it seems that they are also in the range of marriage.

The second prince? His basic plate is in the Northern Regions, and it is unlikely.

The Three Princes...... The third prince has a commoner girlfriend, unless they split up......

The Four Princes...... Uh, it's too small, it's impossible!"

Listening to Marianne's chatter for a while, Jacques summed it up for her: "That is, she is the most likely concubine of the eldest prince." ”

"Just my guess......"

“......”

At this time, Claudia on the podium also said to the point.

“......

Before I left, His Majesty the Emperor received a report and ordered me to confirm the authenticity of the report to the gentlemen closest to the truth.

So let me make sure, did Nevsky, the tax officer who gave his life for the country, organize a tax collection team of 300 people?

Mayor Hoffa, can you tell me?"

Hofa, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, straightened his bow tie, and said: "Your Excellency, the Nevsky tax collector did organize such a team, and that is because the Sioux have always been ......."

Claudia interrupted him, "We'll discuss the reasons later, I'm just confirming the facts." So, Lord Mayor, do the operating expenses of this tax corps come from the tax revenue? Or is it some other source? For example, Nevsky paid out of his own pocket, and I will also believe this reason, after all, Nevsky's wife is a famous nobleman, and the captain of the tax corps is still his brother-in-law. ”

Jacques and the others were stunned by such a sharp Claudia, this is the eldest sister who is looking for snow foxes all over the mountain?

Mayor Hoffa replied with an unchanging face: "Since Nevsky's accounts were lost in the turmoil in Zidiran, we have no conclusive evidence that the tax team was financed by tax ......"

Claudia interrupted again: "Nevsky's wife, the Brant family has assured His Majesty that they did not finance him to set up such an army, and that they would impose heavy taxes on his subjects in the name of the royal family, and that this unrest was a direct consequence of which was that the empire lost its entire Sioux Dominion, and His Majesty became the first monarch in history to lose his land.

So Mayor Hofa, do you even know about the existence of this weapon?"

Jacques didn't expect that Fat Orange was just caught sneaking into the Lake Temple, which led to such a big movement.

Curiosity sparked a bloody case.

Hoffa, who was also an old politician, immediately replied: "I'm sorry, envoy, but we also learned about it after the fact. There is absolutely no such expenditure in the tax expenditure here, and the tax expenditure is deliberated by the members of the parliament here, and everyone can confirm it. ”

Claudia looked at the recorder she had brought with her at the other end of the first row, and the man nodded, and she continued: "Okay, Mayor Hoffa, your answers have been recorded with the Source Stone Imager, and will be presented to His Majesty the Emperor when I return."

There is also tomorrow's negotiation with the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom, and I need Mayor Hoffa to confirm the details of the treaty with me later, so I won't say much about it here.

Here, I would like to emphasize once again to gentlemen that since the war more than twenty years ago, the Empire has adhered to the principle that all taxes from the New World will be used to build and maintain the New World, and theoretically not a single silver coin will be shipped back to the Empire.

The reason for the independence of the Sioux Territory this time is that the Sioux Lake God has awakened, and it is necessary to reconfirm the bilateral relationship with the empire that both sides recognize, and the place where the Beast King is sheltered can be called a country!

It was not the extortion of the tax collectors who caused the revolution!

I hope to be able to reverse the influence of some rumors on the image of the Empire, and Mayor Hoffa and all the gentlemen who own newspapers need to cooperate in promoting it.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor has put forward a request for rectification of the tax work in the New World, and I will submit the specific rectification rules to His Majesty the Emperor for review after consulting with the Mayor.

I'll stop there. ”

Jacques whispered to Lily, "I don't think Claudia, we know, is such a sharp person." ”

Lily tapped his head with her finger: "The so-called envoy is just a microphone, there must be a royal staff member guiding her." ”

Seeing that Claudia was leaving, someone finally couldn't hold back and said, "Your Excellency, do you have any instructions for the rebels taking hostages?"

Kladia turned to look sideways at the recorder, saw him shake his head slightly, and turned back and replied, "I still need to know more about this matter, and I won't make a decision for the time being." ”

The man hurriedly asked, "Then you mean that you will not negotiate with the rebels?"

The council chamber immediately exploded, and the buzzing of speech rang out, and some people hurriedly shouted: "They kill one of our children every day, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Someone else shouted: "War! We want war!"

"Never compromise!

That's right, the council chamber wants this smell!

Claudia, who remained serious, was also flustered by the atmosphere, and did not know how to answer for a while.

Her recorder suddenly shouted, "Quiet!"

The noise paused for a second, and then he continued, "The envoy will reply to you soon, and now the envoy is going to rest!"

Claudia left the council chamber with her entourage, and Mayor Hoffa followed.

After they left, the chamber returned to noise, and Jacques listened closely, and found that it was mostly complaining.

"Don't take away a silver coin, haha, it's the goods that people are transporting!"

"O my vineyard!"

"Let's buy wine to Stuart together. ”

"Is this putting the blame on the tax collector?"

"The three major exchanges have joined forces to bully us, and we need our own commodity exchange!"

"Don't dream, people have a market, people can make rules, even if we have our own exchange, can we play by ourselves behind closed doors?"

......

The attendant came and asked Marianne and the others to follow him away.
