Chapter 159: The Baron

At the palace meeting the next day, Alcatio proposed that the militia captain Stolt should be rewarded for his contribution to maintaining law and order, and that Stolt's title should be promoted from knight to baron. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Home Secretary Reald did not do too much obstruction, in the current situation of Norton I's partiality, if they want to get rid of Arcatio, they can only play the first cut and then play, so William's attitude is crucial, William and his militia are the only armed force that Alcatio can rely on, and the only obstacle for Reild and his group.

At this time, it was the key to appease William, and Home Secretary Reild did not want to obstruct such a small matter of false name and add disgust to William.

Only when Alcatio proposed that William be the Undersecretary of the Interior in charge of crime, security, education and health care in the ghetto in order to better manage and clean up the slum problem, he was opposed by Home Secretary Reild.

This is the authority of the Home Secretary, and the Home Secretary will not easily cede this authority until there is a consensus with William.

……

At noon, William went to Alcatio's house for dinner, and the two discussed what had happened at the previous meeting in front of the palace.

Unexpectedly, Alcatio actually suggested that William continue to contact the Interior Secretary, Count Rearde.

William thought that Alcatio was testing him, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said: "You spoke for me in the pre-palace meeting before, and Reald probably thinks that I am completely on the same side with you and will not talk with me any longer." ”

Alcatio said: "Why not? If so, he will also stop the baron's affairs, and the reason why he sits back and watch your nobility go further is because he still has illusions about your position in his heart, and does not want to tear his face, and only when he infringes on his own actual power, because he does not know your specific attitude, he will speak out against it." After he finished speaking, he also put down his knife and fork, and took a glass of mead, which he did not drink, and only after a maid took a sip did he put the wine into his mouth with confidence.

William asked, "So what are you trying to do with them?"

"The Bureau of Investigation is still too slow, and Reald, like me, is also one of the four ministers of state of the kingdom, if you want to bring him down, it is not easy to rely on the Bureau of Investigation alone, and it is too time-consuming," Alcatio shook his glass, obviously an old man in his old age, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that was not inferior to that of young people, "I also know what they want to do, I hope they can do it boldly with confidence, and then I can kill them once and for all!"

William looked stunned and pointed to his nose: "You want me to be an undercover agent?"

"You can go and find out their information, and by the way, reassure them, and we'll do it after they act. Alcatio said.

William's face pretended to show a hint of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Alcatio tried to convince him: "Don't forget, those people tried to poison us not long ago, and if you don't find an opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible, do you still want to guard against them every day?"

William looked reluctant and agreed, but then said hesitantly: "Since you want to get rid of Reild, what about his position as Minister of the Interior?"

"You want to be the Home Secretary?" Alcatio glanced at William, "It's a little difficult, but I'll try to help you, but it's still a step at a time." ”

"Okay. William nodded in satisfaction.

After lunch, waiting for William to leave, Eaton, the butler who had been serving in front of the saddle in the restaurant, saw that Alcatio was still sitting still, and couldn't help asking, "Master?"

Alcatio exhaled: "What an insatiable villain. ”

The butler Eaton glanced at the direction where William was sitting before: "What the master said is that this kind of insatiable person will never be able to satisfy his appetite, you must be careful of his backlash." ”

"I know, this guy can't stay, and he must be disposed of afterwards," Alcatio came to the window and looked down at William downstairs, "I should also consider a new ally." ”

When Alcatio said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Roy is dead, otherwise this guy Stolt wouldn't be so presumptuous, Chef Pirates...... , these pirates are really lawless, even the base commander dares to attack and kill, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have money to drive, you can always make new friends. ”

He turned around and said to the butler Eaton solemnly: "There is a distinguished guest coming the day after tomorrow, you should prepare well, and make him feel at home." ”

……

After William left Alcatio's manor, his face was a little serious, he beckoned, and Davel, who was following him, hurriedly stepped forward.

Darwell was just a newcomer on a pirate ship during the Barbarossa period, and was bullied by the long-dead deputy captain Felton, but in a blink of an eye, Darwell was already an old man on the ship, in fact, with William's current strength, he didn't need to be guarded at all, and he was used to bringing one or two members of the pirate group with him when he was traveling now, because after his power spread out and the number of people he managed gradually increased, his attention to the pirate group decreased.

It is foreseeable that this situation may become more and more serious in the future, and William asked honest people like Dawell to follow him, and the most important thing is to learn about the specific situation of the pirates through them and prevent deception.

William is now the owner of the Four Seas Trading Company, the captain of the King of Navia's National Army, and a baron, but pirate elders like Darvel still like to call William "Captain" on various occasions to show that he is different.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

William frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Go to the docks, find Harden, and tell him that the fleet should not be separated in the near future, and that all of them will be concentrated near Kalmar City, and I will ensure that I can block this city anytime and anywhere." ”

Alcatio agreed too easily at the dinner table, which made William suspicious.

After Darwell had left, William left for the home secretary, the Earl of Rearde.

In the past few days, several of Reilde's group have been arrested by Chloe and his Investigation Bureau, and these pampered nobles can be scared to death without much torture when they arrive in prison, not to mention that Chloe has a ghost in his heart, and many people have died in prison without explanation.

The fear of uncertainty made Reild and his gang almost unable to sit still, and it was no wonder that they had to fight to the death, in exchange for William, in this situation, it was the same, instead of passively waiting for death, it was better to kill Alcatio first, make it an established fact, and then defend Norton I.

In view of this, and knowing William's attitude, when the Earl of Reald discussed with William again, it was inevitable that he would be condescending.

He first apologized for the previous meeting in front of the palace, and then said that in addition to the military power still needs to be negotiated, he can also agree to the liquor monopoly that William asked for last time, as long as William does not interfere in their next actions.
