Chapter 225 The Big Guy and the Little Man

Hypocrites often need lies to disguise themselves in order to disguise their greed, which is revealed all the time!

Queen Kate slowly picked up the silver wine vessel and elegantly poured the transparent red wine, which exuded a rich sweetness, into the amber glass in front of her. The wine www.biquge.info a whirlpool, a few waves, and a crisp sound. The amber glass is clear and bright, which complements the red wine. Queen Kate put down the wine vessel and picked up the wine glass, and every movement was deeply branded with the nobility.

"Two, why are you here today?"

It has been four or five days since the anniversary was completed, and in less than 10 days, more events have occurred than in the past six months. Each of these events affects the future of the Empire in some way—at least the one that Empress Kate has just planned. In order to mitigate and eliminate these effects, Queen Kate has been maneuvering between the Imperial Council and the surrounding galaxies, but until now, she has not seen any results.

During an apparently orderly but chaotic anniversary, his precious son accidentally killed Princess Aliloa, daughter of Grand Duke Phaedley of Barnard. Justin, the commander of the Neptune Division of the Third Military Region, trespassed on the palace and killed the Emperor. However, this incident gave Queen Kate a great opportunity to kill three birds with one stone. First of all, the death of Princess Aliloa was blamed on Justin, and the death of the emperor laid the foundation for the crown prince's accession to the throne, and at the same time, it was possible to take this opportunity not to say that it could be eliminated but that the third military region could be weakened.

However, although the situation is like this, the actual control has almost exceeded Queen Kate's expectations!

Tom glanced at B beside him, and his shiny head reflected the light of the palace's luxurious chandelier, which made Tom's eyes a little astringent. b seemed to be preoccupied with other things, and pretended not to hear. Tom smiled and said, "Your Majesty, inside," Tom rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, this action caused Queen Kate to frown deeply, she knew what the meaning behind this action was, so the smile on her face immediately became less arrogant and became gentle, Tom saw this, and knew very well that his goal could be achieved, so he continued: " Perhaps, it is a bit inappropriate to make this request now, but in order to reduce the loss of interests between you and me, it is necessary for me to inform you in advance!"

Queen Kate certainly knew what Tom was referring to. Previously, in order to hold an anniversary, Queen Kate used to borrow money from Tom and B through LaBel. The agreement clearly states that 39 percent of the loan amount will be repaid within a week after the anniversary event, and the rest will be repaid with interest within three years of the Goras. If the amount in the agreement is not repaid for more than a week, the interest will increase by at least three percentage points. Similarly, if the full amount is not repaid within three years, the interest will be increased by three percentage points, and the lender, Tom and B, will be compensated appropriately for the losses incurred by the lender, namely Tom and B, in accordance with the time of default.

And today, it's the seven-day deadline!

"Mr. Cologne is very thoughtful!"

"Of course, it's for our common good!" said Tom, smiling.

Queen Kate's delicate makeup adorned her noble smiling face, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart. Because, at the imperial meeting a few days ago, the Minister of Finance, Huang De, the patriarch of the Yellow River family, had already prepared a financial statement, on which the red fruit marked that all items were in deficit.

The treasury is empty!

Queen Kate pursed her lips, and the red wine standing on her plump lips was on the tip of her tongue, with a hint of bitterness in the sweet and sour. Queen Kate had never thought this red wine would be so astringent. She lowered the amber glass, the red liquid churning slightly up and down in it, distorting the reflection of her own influence. Queen Kate glanced at it a few times, looked up, and the smile returned to her face.

"Mr. Cologne, I wonder if you're interested in californium?"

Tom had expected her to say this, after all, the empire now had nothing to use as collateral. Before coming, B confided in Tom. The galaxies are clearly hesitant on this matter. The first crab may be juicy, but it may also have an empty carapace and end up with a fishy mouthful.

"Californium," Tom pulled into a voice with a hesitant look, "something full of energy and seduction. "After all, I'm just a small trader, and it's too dangerous to do a little business and engage in arms!"

"Californium is not only used in munitions, but also in energy. "Although Queen Kate knows that Cologne on the other side is deliberately prevaricating, in fact, who doesn't want to have the most valuable thing to develop so far?" "Californium is a very good source of neutrons, and Mr. Cologne must know what that means!"

Tom listened to Queen Kate's colorful description of the future of californium, but in his heart he was thinking about how to lead the topic to Lin Feng's question, which was the real purpose of his coming here today. After learning that Lin Feng voluntarily surrendered to the Ministry of Defense, he directly found LaBelle. This dead eunuch actually said that there was nothing he could do. Tom saw through the dead eunuch's flowery intestines, and in addition to poop, it was a conspiracy. As early as when LaBelle proposed to borrow money from the Empire, Tom discussed with B that LaBelle wanted to use the bottomless pit of the Empire's finances to drag the two down. After Genia's death, Tom was even more convinced that LaBelle did have a motive to do so.

The reason why Genia was killed was, of course, to prevent Genia from defecting and telling all the secrets in one go. However, Tom also guessed seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and basically got close to the truth. What happened to Tom and Lin Feng on the planet Saipan after they left Neptune, not to mention nine times out of ten, at least four or five out of ten were inseparable from LaBelle. LaBelle is full of rats, so he has a lot of secrets that no one knows. It was these secrets that Labelle relied on to get to where he is now!

However, there were times when LaBelle was negligent. Little did he know that when he did it ten years ago at the Nighttimer Technician in Kent Yar, Barnard's system, Tom was hiding in a corner, taking in the whole process and his pink face. It was because of this that Tom recognized Genia's identity. Tom knew very well that although this old fritter was just a small eunuch chief, his strength and power were definitely not less than the three major families. Therefore, Tom pretended to be stupid and did not expose anything for the time being, but wanted to see what kind of ultimate purpose this dead eunuch had!

Thinking back to LaBelle's slapping face, Tom coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I understand what you said. It's just that, as you must have guessed in your own heart, the news about the opening of the space passage has spread among the nobles and bigwigs, and everyone is hesitating, and the only scruple is, of course, the Third Military Region. If this matter is not handled well, even if the entire Oort Cloud is sold, no one will be willing to take out a coin!"

Queen Kate's brows that had just stretched frowned again, and this sentence was like a sharp knife, directly stabbing Queen Kate's sore spot. "So, is there anything that Mr. Cologne can do about it?" Queen Kate didn't know why she asked the question, but Tom's answer then brightened her eyes.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I really have a piece of news I want to tell you!" Tom looked left and right, and there was not even a single maid left in the entire hall, and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, killing Justin on the charge of assassinating the emperor and princess is not enough to convince Ethore. This excuse is as clumsy as 'stomach ache'. However, if it is aggression and theft, and even threatens the security of the entire Federation, then the nature of the whole thing is very different!"

"What do you want to say?"

Whenever he stood in this study, Huang Sicheng felt an inexplicable cold aura permeating his whole body. He trembled all over, looked at his grandfather in front of him, who also had a cold face, rearranged his thoughts, and told the whole process of the matter. Huang De was furious when he heard this, jumped up from the chair, and almost kicked Huang Sicheng out of the door. He paced back and forth in the study, and for a moment, the atmosphere became even more oppressive. Huang Sicheng didn't dare to take a breath in the air, standing in place and trembling like chaff.

After a long while, Huang De suddenly laughed. Huang Sicheng secretly looked up, his eyelids jumped wildly, and his grandfather was angry for a while, and laughed for a while, which was not a good omen. After the anniversary, Huang Sicheng always wanted to find an opportunity to explain to Huang De what happened in the tomb of Robert the Great, but his grandfather was busy with government affairs, and the Justin incident was widely implicated, so he postponed his own affairs. Today, I finally met my grandfather, and Huang Sicheng took the initiative to find Huang De.

"I said, in the past two days, the dead eunuch from Berryman has always followed me and asked me how I was thinking, and I still wondered, so that's the case!" Huang De muttered to himself, then stopped and looked back at Huang Sicheng, "You can't be blamed for this matter, it's obviously a bureau! Fortunately, all the black cauldrons were carried by Justin from the Third Military Region alone, so forget it! However, what are you going to do in the tomb?"

When asked this, Huang Sicheng's eyebrows fluttered and he ran to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, this is the purpose of my search for you today." I'm going to tell you the news, do you know the key to the tomb of Robert the Great?"

Hearing this word, Huang De's face suddenly lit up. Say I don't know the key, it's the key to open the door to wealth!"

"My grandson knows the whereabouts of that key!"

"Oh?" Huang De's voice trembled a little, and he grabbed Huang Sicheng's arm, "Where is it?"

"It's in the hands of Fitley!"

"I see, I see," Huang De suddenly realized, "So, it wasn't groundless for Justin to kill Aliloa, maybe it was really him who killed him, and the purpose was the key!"
