Chapter 148: Eyes and Ears
The long-faced aristocrat was also startled, and his body bounced off the sofa like an electric shock, far away from the head that rolled off the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Who is this, who did this?" The long-faced aristocrat called incoherently.
"The Morgan Pirates, it's the Morgan Pirates." Count Perret said weakly as he slumped on the sofa with a blank face.
He has truly seen the ferocity of the pirates, and the Sapphire Pirates should be more and less ferocious now.
This head was clearly a warning, an expression of displeasure at his repeated violations of the Morgan Pirates' laws.
Count Peret fully showed what it means to be strong on the outside and dry on the inside, and he was full of confidence before, but now he seems to be in a hurry, and he feels that the Morgan Pirates seem to be able to kill him at any time, and he is completely panicked.
Seeing that Count Pere was completely flustered, the long-faced nobleman hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this 'Morgan Pirates' the same group of pirates from the Navia Kingdom that you don't deal with?" ”
"That's them, that's them!" Because of his fear, Count Peret subconsciously amplified his voice and said, "These people are lawless, they actually killed my people, and they sent their heads over!" ”
The long-faced nobleman didn't speak again, but in his heart, he had memorized the name of the Morgan Pirates.
……
The nobles of the Goa kingdom have their own troubles, and the nobles of the kingdom of Navia also have their own troubles.
In the Kingdom of Navia, the manor of the Interior Earl Reild, in the conference room, because the curtains were closed, the light was a little dim, and both the servants and the butlers were driven out of the room.
One thing these people have in common is that they are all dissatisfied with Chancellor of the Exchequer Arcatio.
The Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau, which specializes in investigating and dealing with Prohibition, is a Pandora's box, and when William deliberately handed it to Alcatio, he was not at ease.
This is a secret service, and in the hands of sane people, it can naturally play its due role, but in the hands of people like Arcatio, it will inevitably be used to fight dissidents and eliminate competitors.
Alcatio couldn't keep it on his leash, and he didn't want to tie up this mad dog who caught and bit whom, he took advantage of Norton I's importance of his own prestige, his trust in himself, and the authority of the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau, to bring down several nobles, even the Prime Minister, who was faintly able to distinguish himself from him.
This made Norton I more satisfied with him and the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau, and felt that they were indeed doing their duty.
This result put a group of nobles in danger, although Alcatio was also rich and powerful in the past, but it was far from being a one-handed cover, but now he has the ability to reverse black and white.
"To bring down Alcatio, you must first get rid of two of his key men, Kloe of the Bureau of Investigation and Stolt of the militia." A nobleman said.
Someone asked, "How do you get rid of them?" We've been suppressing them for almost a year, otherwise Stolt would have been qualified for the daily pre-palace meetings, and what could he do now? ”
"Maybe we can destroy them physically." A tall, lanky aristocrat said with a sympathetic proposal.
"Don't dream, Andre wasn't Stolter's opponent at the beginning." A middle-aged balding nobleman sitting next to him shook his head in disapproval.
"It's good to poison," the tall and thin nobleman said disapprehantly, "His subordinates are just a group of reckless men from low backgrounds, as long as we get rid of Stolt, with the identity of our group of nobles, it is enough to suppress them and give them some small favors, it is enough to draw them into our camp, I don't believe that there is no second person under Stolt who wants to become a nobleman, as long as he controls the original Stolt's manpower, Alcatio is equivalent to losing a general." ”
Earl Reild, the Minister of the Interior, who had been silent, finally knocked on the armrest of the chair when he heard this, and said: "This can be used as a backup plan, but the first choice at the moment is to try to win them over." ”
"How to win over? They were all pulled up by Alcatio. ”
"They are all a group of humble villains, they only have interests in their eyes, and they will not have any loyalty at all, they serve Alcatio, nothing more than because of interests, but as long as they know that what Alcatio can give them, we can also give, and even more, I am not afraid that they will not be moved." Said the Home Secretary, Count Reild.
"Chloe is not easy to woo, he doesn't eat oil and salt." One had apparently tried to woo Chloe, but failed, so he said.
"Then try to win over Stolter, without his assistance, whether it is Alcatio or Chloe's side, there will be no reliable manpower that can be used," Count Reald pondered, "Although he is Alcatio's person, he is quite slippery, and the security of the entire aristocratic district is still dedicated, and he must not offend other nobles, unlike Chloe, who does not sell anyone's face, and there should be a possibility of winning him over." ”
A group of nobles looked at each other: "I hope so." ”
"If it doesn't work, you can only find a way to poison him."
"This kind of traitor doesn't know how to change his ways, and he deserves to die."
When the nobles in the house denounced Alcatio and William, there was a sudden soft noise outside the door.
When the voice came, there was a sudden silence in the room, and a nobleman next to the door quickly opened the door, and saw a tall, red-haired young maid dressed in a maid's costume standing outside the door with a stunned face, looking at the movement of her other hand, as if she wanted to knock on the door.
"Anna?" Earl Reald frowned and glanced the maid up and down, vaguely remembering that the other party seemed to be called by this name, "Didn't I say that people should not be approached here?" ”
The maid named Anna said timidly: "Mr. Butler said, the master is in a meeting with all the adults, I calculate the time, the tea should be drunk, so come and change the tea." ”
"You don't need it, you can go down." Hearing this, Reild waved his hand impatiently.
Anna carefully bowed and hurried away.
The nobleman at the door closed the door again, and the others began to discuss the follow-up arrangements again, but the voice was much quieter.
On the other side, Anna left the conference room as usual, went to the kitchen, and after putting the things on the tray away, her face suddenly changed, and her eyebrows frowned lightly to cover her lower abdomen.
Seeing this, several other servants in the kitchen asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm some, a little uncomfortable." Anna deliberately said vaguely.
Two of the maids looked at each other and persuaded, "Then you go and rest, the butler is here, and if you have any work, we will help you cope with it." ”
Anna's tone was a little weak, and she couldn't stop thanking her, and left the kitchen slowly, and when she got to a place where there was no one, she returned to normal, he was very familiar with the environment in the manor, and avoided others all the way, and walked to the back door with vigorous steps, and walked secretly in the direction of the slum.
