The city of Cesa, the capital of the Tambolance Empire, is silent at night.

In the Bojiao Chapel, the coffin of Duke Borot is placed in the center of the hall.

The nobles who came to pay their respects were all talkative, hating the mob and sneering at the emperor's resignation. Several of the people injured at the bazaar were knights and their families who had come to the banquet, and they were already resentful of being forced to stay in the imperial capital for so long, and now they were even more indignant at the appearance of such a shocking catastrophe.

His Royal Highness Albert and General Iros went to meet His Majesty together, but there was no news until now, and Lecles and Adri couldn't help but worry. Now, the fate of the entire Duchy of Borot is pinned on the young Highness, if Xiao A has three longs and two shorts, then there is no way to explain the dead old duke.

The more they waited, the more anxious they became, and the more they waited, the more they felt that something was wrong, so Lecles decisively said to Adrian: "In this way, I will go to the palace to find out the truth, you are here to take good care of it, in case something really happens, it will not be caught in the net." ”

The two immediately discussed the countermeasures, and then Lecles rushed to the gate of the palace in a hurry. Although he was a close confidant of the old duke, he did not have any commendable title in the empire, and he was entangled at the palace gate for a long time, and the other party always refused him entry for various reasons. Fortunately, the Prime Minister Carignan happened to be passing by, and he was about to inform His Majesty of the Emperor of the results of his investigation into the Crimson Rose. This old man was a man of good feelings, and he knew how to measure himself, and the death of Duke Borot had already been settled in his heart, and he saw that this Lecles was sweating profusely, and he could see at a glance that this man did indeed have a fierce and loyal heart. His Royal Highness Albert is now the new duke, so why don't you do a favor yourself, in case you need it in the future? Although Loyle and the others tried their best to get the emperor to pinch the Duchy of Borot in the palm of his hand as soon as possible, but now that the old duke has just died, judging from the emperor's cautious character, he will definitely not turn his face so quickly, so as not to make outsiders have any bad associations. Making friends with them yourself is one more way.

He immediately motioned for the old duke's cronies to follow him in, and the soldiers guarding the door turned their faces like flipping books, and suddenly changed their flattering looks, and respectfully watched Lycles, who had just been confronted by him, enter the palace.

Xiao Ah actually didn't encounter any changes, and Emperor Deliot really wouldn't do such a stupid thing. He is ambitious, but he will also be afraid of a little criticism in the market, this kind of overly obvious move is absolutely impossible to make as an emperor.

The reason why he, Iros, and Albert had been discussing and researching for so long was mainly because of whether or not to launch a devastating cleanup of the wanderers in the sewers. Xiao Ah occupies the moral and factual high ground, and his father's murder is an indisputable decisive factor. The emperor was in a dilemma, he could neither risk annoying the poor nor indulging them too much, leading to irreconcilable contradictions with the many nobles. He is not a man with three heads and six arms, and no matter how ambitious he is, he cannot take it all in one hand and swallow it in one gulp. Find a balance in everything.

Carignan was originally going to inform the Emperor about the news of the killer organization Crimson Rose, but at the moment this matter was obviously not the first thing that had to be solved, he was very wise to press the table, and only followed Deliotot's train of thought, and said his thoughts: "Your Majesty, the stubborn disease of the sewers in the city has reached the point where it is incurable, and they rely on the treacherous environment and complicated passages there, thinking that they can compete with our imperial army. Your Majesty, you have tolerated them for so many years, it's time to make a break. There is still a difference between the poor on the ground and these people, and we should divide and conquer them, not confuse them. Before we do it, we should appease the poor and determine that we will only crack down on the unemployed vagrants in the sewers. In this way, the enemy and the enemy are clear, and the other side has no allies to fight for, and His Majesty can rest easy, not afraid that they will unite to fight. ”

Deliot nodded slightly, he was still a little hesitant, and Carignan explained further: "Your Majesty, don't worry, those rats in the sewers won't move, and they won't lack such a little time. We can take it one step at a time, and we can make sure that the interests of the poor on the ground are unanimous in their support for you, and then we can set up our nets and catch fish. ”

Albert could not disagree with the Prime Minister, which was indeed the safest way to go, but he still asked the Emperor to allocate a small group of men at his disposal, because his subordinate Favorite General Kaigun the Short was still missing, and he was likely to be trapped in the middle of the group.

The emperor complied with his request, but asked Xiao Ah to promise that he would not take violent action until he had to.

Standing on the side, Lecles, who was sweating profusely, couldn't hide his anxious mood, the death of the old duke hit him too hard and too deeply, and he was worried about Xiao A's safety just now, and now even in front of the emperor, he still looked out of breath and gloomy.

When Deliot learned that this was Lao Bao's subordinate, he immediately ordered someone to reward him with 100 imperial gold coins as a sign of mercy. The upright Lecles was not going to accept it, but Xiao A's eyes clearly told him not to act like this. The general, nicknamed Sha Mang, could only swallow his anger and spit out the word "Xie" from his mouth, which was obviously not favorable.

Now that Albert had found some helpers, he didn't expect any further progress, and now that his title of duke had been approved by the Emperor himself, it was now imperative to find Kagundy and return to the city of Birti as soon as possible.

He was determined to cause some trouble for Delviot, to take advantage of the discontent of the pauper, the vagabond, and even the nobility, to overwhelm the emperor himself.

Albert, accompanied by Lecles, hurried back to the church in Cisa. By this time, the sky was turning white, the sun was about to rise, and only one monk was left in the hall to follow Adrian and Cosette to the vigil.

Xiao Ah only at this time, did he realize that he had lost a loved one, his previous series of actions were more like a person's stress reaction in an emergency, he was indeed calm and resolute, but as long as he stopped, as long as he had free time to think about it a little, the deep pain of losing his father still couldn't help but gush out. He finally cried, he no longer thought of himself as Duke Borot with a heavy responsibility, he was just the son of a dead father, he had the same feelings as ordinary people, and now there were almost no outsiders in the church, and he could indeed cry bitterly.

His father's speech and demeanor, voice and smile kept flashing in front of Xiao A, and he thought of many things, and he was afraid that his mother would not be able to bear it after learning this bad news. Not only did he abandon the city of Solo, but he also failed to take care of his father. Although the Crawford brothers were good at giving advice, the price was too great, and he could not help but wonder whether the goal he was striving for was meaningful, whether the Duchy of Borot was the greatest, or his own small family, and whether family affairs and state affairs were destined to have the best of both worlds. My father had always looked out for the bigger picture, but in the end, he was murdered by a mob of brainless, gullible and instigated people. Everything he did was for the benefit of the whole of Tamborans, and the big and the small were for the benefit of all the people of the empire, but what was the result? Isn't that a great irony?

There must be a man of great ability and high morals to rule the whole country, so that the whole empire can prosper and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Albert was fully aware of this reality, and although he had a deep hatred for Emperor Elliot, he was sometimes compelled to admit that what he had done was indeed a necessary move. Those people are like lost lambs, if led by a hypocritical shepherd, they will commit heinous atrocities, and if they are lucky enough to be led correctly, they may be able to create a little value. In the final analysis, they can only be a flock, waiting to be led, and if they are left to their own devices, they may not do something stupid that destroys the world without knowing it.

In order to avoid excessive sadness affecting his follow-up, Xiao Ah resolutely endured the great pain and quickly moved out of the church, he didn't want to look back on the past, he wanted to look forward.

The layout of the sewers in the city of Xiza cannot even be fully counted and verified by the authorities, because after each emperor came to power, he would build a large number of buildings, plus some of his own ideas and changes. The buildings above ground must be connected to the sewers, and over the years, they have become a veritable underground labyrinth.

Caegon was seduced by two stinky beggars, and Albert decided to lead a few of the emperor's soldiers to visit the slums near the bazaar and find out what the sewer exits and access were. As soon as the leader was apprehended by the authorities, the homeless men disappeared and fled without a trace, apparently all withdrawn underground.

Cosette, who has already cried into tears, is also the object that Xiao A needs to focus on, since her father named her to be her goddaughter before his death, he should ensure her safety now.

The imperial capital of Cisar City was obviously unreliable, and he wanted to send her to the city of Birty as soon as possible, where she would be taken care of by his mother, Lady Charlotte. Although this job is not heavy, there is also a certain risk, and only the calm Adrian can do it. However, before finding Kaigun, Xiao Ah can't risk sending his right-hand man away, and the matter has to be slowed down a little.

What secrets are waiting in the sewers, please see next time and continue.
