Chapter 126: Secret [12/14]
The dinner party at the castle lord's palace continued after the Minister of Finance and the tax collector staged a comical farce.
However, almost everyone's mind is no longer on the dinner party.
Everyone knows that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the Queen's own brother, and since he came to the city of Apo, he has been arrogant and domineering until now, and even the lord of the city does not pay attention to him.
Tonight, he brought the tax collector to the castle lord's mansion, there must have been a conspiracy against the castle lord----- but it was the finance minister himself who was taken away in the end.
What is this?
Carter looked at Alston with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Lord of the City, do you have a relationship with Tax Officer Nishizawa?"
Alston said, "We met for the first time today. ”
Carter wondered: "Then why did he turn against Walter, isn't he afraid of offending the queen's family?"
"The problem is Calvin. Auston also had some doubts on his face, and said, "But Calvin and I have only met a few times......
"It's that kid. Isabella's mother came over and said, "Before Nishizawa, that kid had a few words with Calvin, and after that, Nishizawa completely turned against Walter. ”
Alston seemed to think of something and asked, "Blair?"
Anna nodded and said, "Calvin and Nishizawa are both from the Mathematics Association, Sasha said, that kid has some influence in the math community, and I think the reason why Nishizawa changed his decision should be because of him." ”
Alston shook his head and said, "Nishizawa is the vice president of the Mathematics Association, even Calvin can't let him offend Walter, this Blair classmate, has a secret ......"
Isabella ran out of the backyard, looked left and right, and asked, "Father, are those people gone?"
"They looked into it and left. Auston smiled, looked at Chen Luo, and said, "Blair, we still have some things to say just now, come in and talk about it......"
Isabella tried to follow up, but was stopped by her mother.
Anna looked at her and asked, "Sasha, the tax officer's matter has something to do with Blair's classmates, isn't it?"
"He said he knew a friend and said he wanted to help his father ask ......" Isabella nodded, curious, "Mother, did the tax collector leave because of Blair's friend?"
"Sort of. Anna smiled and said, "Blair-san has done your father a great favor this time......"
At the same time, in the room just now, Auston looked at Chen Luo and said, "Thank you Blair for tonight's incident." ”
Chen Luo knew that he couldn't hide it from Auston, and he didn't want to hide it, he smiled and said indifferently: "Calvin, the president of the Mathematics Branch of Arpo City, owes me a big favor, and this time he just asked him to pay it back." ”
Alston said: "If you can make Nishizawa offend Walter, this favor must be great." ”
Chen Luo explained: "The incident of the Gaya scholar last time, the city lord should remember. ”
Auston thought for a while, and suddenly said: "If this is the case, then the whole of Lorain owes you a favor, Blair classmate protected Isabella and helped me, the Clavis family owes you too much." ”
Chen Luo shook his head and said, "It is right to protect Senior Sister Isabella, as for the Minister of Finance, in fact, he has done some things too much, which is unbearable." ”
Alston was surprised: "Blair has a grudge against the Chancellor of the Exchequer?"
Chen Luo had a disgusted expression on his face, and said: "The Minister of Finance has indiscriminately levied taxes, and in the past three months, the price of meat in Arpo City has increased fourfold, and if this continues, we can't even afford to eat pork......
Auston looked at him and asked, "Is that because of this?"
"Do you need more reasons?" Chen Luo was stunned and said: "The matter of taxation is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the behavior of the Minister of Finance will make the life of the people of Yapo City more difficult, when the people can't even guarantee their survival, they will choose to resist, the people will resist, and there will be turmoil in Yabo City, and when the time comes, the city lord will still bear the greatest responsibility......
......
In the next half hour, Chen Luo gave Auston a vivid ideological education lesson.
Perhaps the Clavise family has been prominent for too long, and the hereditary position of the city lord has caused them to lack the most basic political literacy, if it weren't for Auston himself to connive at the chancellor of the exchequer, today's incident would not have happened at all.
It wasn't until Auston realized his mistake and said that the price of meat in Arpo City would definitely drop in the next few days that Chen Luo stopped and offered to leave.
Isabella's mother walked in and said with a smile, "It's getting late, Blair might as well stay here and go back to school with Sasha tomorrow." ”
Chen Luo wanted to refuse, but she didn't give Chen Luo a chance, Anna glanced at Isabella and said, "Sasha, why don't you go and clean up the room for Blair......"
Chen Luo opened his mouth, "I ......"
Isabella tugged at his arm and said, "What am I, come with me......"
After Chen Luo was dragged out by Isabella, Anna looked at Alston and asked, "How is it?"
Auston nodded and said, "Nishizawa changed his mind, it is indeed because of him, the last time the Gaya scholar happened, he made a great contribution to the kingdom, Calvin owes him a favor, but I always feel that things are much more than that......"
"Everyone has their own secrets, as long as he's nice to Sasha. Anna didn't care at all, and said, "The more capable he is, the better it is."
Alston was surprised, "How do you know that Sasha likes her?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Anna skimmed him and said, "She used to often say that she wanted to go to the royal capital, but this time, she didn't fill in any of the five major colleges of the royal capital, isn't it to wait another year and go with him?"
Auston thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he can't bear us." ”
Anna waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, you don't care about Sasha's affairs, it's okay for her to stay in Apor City, but I'm worried that she is so simple, if she becomes the city lord in the future, she will be bullied by others......"
"Didn't you say she liked Blair?" Alston snorted coldly and said, "Although our daughter is simple, that Blair classmate is not a simple person, maybe, the Chancellor of Finance of Apor City, this time he will be replaced......"
Anna paused for a moment and said in surprise: "Is it so serious, Walter is the queen's younger brother, and he has a family ...... behind him."
"You didn't see it just now, Calvin looked at him, it didn't look like a catchy look, it was more like a murderous ......" Alston looked out the door and whispered: "How much does Calvin owe him a favor?"
......
In the City Lord's Mansion, Isabella helped him tidy up the room, and Chen Luo sat in front of the bed after a simple wash with water magic.
Tonight's events made him think new.
He originally planned to use Chen Luo's identity to do some things, but he didn't want to cause him unnecessary trouble, but now it seems that the identity of a god has some other uses for him.
Wald is the Queen's younger brother and has a more noble status than Auston, and in Auston's presence, he can break the rules and crush everything.
Chen Luo is the god of the Mathematical Society, Calvin and those mathematicians respect him as a real god, he doesn't have to reason with Wald, and even as long as he says a word, Calvin can make Wald's world disappear.
Change the rules and even decide the life and death of others.
That's the benefit of power and position.
Wald gave Chen Luo a warning, if you want to survive well in this world, you must either have a lofty position, or have the strength to sweep everything.
Not to oppress others, but to protect oneself and protection.
There were many thoughts in his heart, although it was already late at night, Chen Luo did not feel the slightest sleep.
Isabella's bed is very soft and big, but it is not fragrant, habit is a terrible thing, Chen Luo once considered whether he should buy a bottle of perfume for her instead of her after Isabella went to the royal capital, and finally dispelled this idea.
Although lily perfume can replace Isabella's taste, it cannot replace her temperature.
Chen Luo got into the cold quilt, and not long after lying down, he suddenly heard someone knocking on his window outside.
