Chapter 177: Consequences
The news can't be covered up no matter what, at the moment of Ellington's death, the collapse of the faith line immediately made Li Youran perceive that the faith line of the previously broken escort team plus Ellington and the students, Li Youran has already determined that Ellington has an accident.
Everyone sensed the anger from the city that never sleeps, and the original bright sun in the sky was gone, replaced by black and oppressive clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed in them from time to time, telling everyone that the god king was very unhappy.
Who was Ellington? Maybe people who don't know will think that he is just a knight, a knight in the territory on the edge of the city that never sleeps, but as long as it is an early character, everyone knows that this person was once Li Youran's first subordinate, and he was earlier than Morton, Heywood, Field and others.
But this is not the most important thing, a knight who is relatively not outstanding in force is not special in the eyes of many people, but they do not know who Ellington has helped.
In Li Youran's castle, when Ellington's bad news came from the other world, Elena was very sad with the child, a kind old man like a father... When she pretended to be a maid, she wanted to be a righteous daughter regardless of the difference in status, if she was really an ordinary girl, it would be a good thing to take one step to the sky.
It is precisely because of Ellington's various help that Elena has the opportunity to attract Li Youran's attention and become the mistress of this world, it can be said that without Ellington, Elena will not even have anything to do with Li Youran, maybe after a short adventure, she will leave Li Youran's kitchen, and the short memory in the city that never sleeps will only become a small memory of her long life.
Not only Elena, but many other people were actually taken care of by him, and those new nobles were more or less taken care of by him, and when the news of Ellington's death broke, Li Youran broke a wine glass in anger, while the people of the other families fought fiercely. They knew that Li Youran would never just forget it.
Everyone was indignant, but there was one man who was very frightened, yes, he was the new Secretary of the Treasury, and the idea was his, although it was an errand that Ellington himself begged for, but since he came up with the idea. Judging from the results, it is obvious that no matter who goes, as long as they are not super strong, they are basically dead.
You must know that from the beginning, Li Youran was not ready to give any chance, and he was going to raise troops to fight, and Field had even come out of his underworld to prepare to march, but all this was redeemed by him with words, just to show his wisdom, but he forgot the two sides of the matter. So much so that this tragedy was caused.
If he guessed correctly, soon the Lord God King would have someone call him, and as soon as he thought of this, someone rang the doorbell, and he just wanted to tell the butler not to open the door, but it was too late.
"Who, here, here!" The butler shouted impatiently, since his lord became the Minister of Finance, there has been an endless stream of visitors, and the butler was very happy at first. Gradually, I began to look at people's identities, if their identities were too low. He was dismissive.
The door opened, but he saw that the person who came was dressed in military uniform, and his face was also extremely cold, and he didn't greet the housekeeper in the year after tomorrow, so he threw a piece of leather paper directly in his face and said: "The god king has an order, announce that your master will go to the palace to ask." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left with great impoliteness, and this treatment has not been done since his master became the Minister of Finance. How can he endure the feeling that he is a person with status.
"Hmph, what is a little soldier arrogant, wait for me to report to the master, let you lose this job!" After saying that, he went in with a proud look to report it, and the moment he saw his master. The pride of the face turned into humility.
"Master, someone just sent it, saying that the God King invited you to the palace to discuss something!" The butler himself added a few words, and the meaning was much different, just looking at his master's face was much better.
He knew that his master was quite happy now, how could he not be happy, after all, Lord God King used the word please, and it was something to discuss, it seemed that he might be blamed, but there would not be too much danger, so of course he was happy.
Seeing that he was happy, the housekeeper also put away his caution, and then thought of the soldier's rude behavior and said very indignantly: "Master, you don't know that those who are soldiers are not polite at all, but you are also the Minister of Finance, come and don't even say hello, just throw the order in my face, and leave without even saying sorry, master, all say that the prime minister is a seven-pin person, although I have no official position, but I am also the housekeeper of your family, although I am a subordinate and have no face, But this man doesn't look at your face at all, this must be sent by the master's opponent. ”
After the butler finished speaking, he was very proud of his wit, and after he said this, even if he did not save his face, he would want to know if it was his opponent, and no matter what the situation was, the soldier would be unlucky.
But after the housekeeper finished speaking, he found that the host, who was very happy just now, sat on the chair with a blue face, not giving face? Throw the command directly in the face? Leave when you're done? Said before
These phenomena are not like the treatment of a minister-level person, looking at his housekeeper, he said viciously: "What is the original words of that person, don't add oil and vinegar, explain it to me clearly." ”
The housekeeper, who was frightened by his master, immediately stammered and repeated the soldier's words, and when he heard the soldier's original words, the Minister of Finance finally knew the truth of the matter, what was to discuss, what to please, and it was almost the same as asking him to die, this matter requires a person to take responsibility, and it is not ordinary people who die, but the elders, and maybe a finance minister is not enough to kill.
Things have come to this point, and it's not like he hasn't thought about running away, but what is this place? The city that never sleeps is known as the most rigorous defense mechanism on the mainland, even if he escapes from here, the world is so big, where can he hide? Who would dare to let him hide?
The omnipresent soft girl queen will let him die without a place to be buried, you must know that the two people that Ellington loves the most are the current Queen of the Night, Lord Elena, and the other is the soft girl queen who rules the entire virtual world and is also the goddess of magic.
For Ellington's love, these two women seem to cherish it very much, and now, they have tidied up their clothes, and since they can't find a way to live, they simply have a little more freedom.
Looking at the master who went out, the housekeeper was a little at a loss, judging from his master's reaction, he seemed to not talk about revenge, if he didn't leave quickly, he was likely to worry about his life, his eyes rolled and he didn't notify anyone, he cleaned up his softness and took out a part of his master's small treasury, not because he didn't want to take more, but because he couldn't take so much.
The butler quietly left through the night, and the Minister of Finance obviously couldn't know what his butler was doing, and even if he knew, it didn't matter, if the God King wanted to be connected, no one would be able to escape.
The Minister of Finance who entered the hall enjoyed the same treatment as his butler, but the executor became Li Youran, and the report from the other world was thrown by Li Youran to the Minister of Finance who had just come in and had not yet stood firm.
"This is a report from the other world, that is, what you said about saluting first and then soldiering, a good salute before soldiering, causing my patriarch to live and die in a foreign land, now what do you have to say!" No one can resist Li Youran's anger, and his subordinates will only share his hatred and hatred, as for persuasion? Are you being funny, who dares?
"My subordinates have nothing to say, the matter started because of me, and it must end because of me, I just hope that Lord God can let my family go!" The Minister of Finance had already treated himself as dead from the moment he came in, and even if Li Youran didn't kill him, what about those who were friends with Ellington.
One by one, the eyes are about to eat people, if the eyes along the way can kill people, he has been cut by a thousand knives, even if he survives today, someone can make him live as well as die immediately after he goes out, since this is the case, he simply pleads guilty, at least for the sake of his own attitude, Li Youran will not embarrass his family.
"Hehe, you think you'll be fine when you're dead? I told you that this matter will not end so easily, someone will have to pay the price, but not you, although you are at fault, but I am not a person who shirks responsibility, since I allowed your plan, I will not let you take full responsibility, but you are always at fault, so you step down yourself, from now on the Minister of Finance will be concurrently held by Akmund, you go. ”
Gently say you go, but the last backbone of the original Ministry of Finance was removed, and the position of power that he had fought for all his life was all erased at this moment with only a light word from Li Youran, and he could only resign himself to leaving.
Everyone else looked at him with a vicious face, Li Youran didn't deal with him, but others dealt with him Li Youran wouldn't stop it, Ellington's death, although he was responsible, but he was still unhappy in his heart, although he let him go on the surface, but Li Youran knew that someone would be angry for him.
They are all smart people, since Li Youran can think of it, will a person who can be the Minister of Finance not think of it?
Walking up the walls of the city that never sleeps, he did what he thought was necessary.
"Newspaper, Lord Kami, Minister of Finance, he..." One hour, Li Youran, who was still deliberating, received a report from the soldiers patrolling the city.
"What's wrong with him?" Li Youran looked at his subordinates who were also listening and spoke.
"He fell into the city, judging from the physical signs, he should have jumped off by himself, the body has been sent back to his home, and Chief Karl's deputy asked whether to open a case for investigation."
After listening to the soldier's report, Li Youran waved his hand with a headache and said: "The deceased is gone, there is no need to trace it, just treat him as a martyr in the line of duty, bury him according to the earl's funeral, and compassionate his family, no one can embarrass his family because of this matter in the future, understand!"
