Alexander thought of a number of families that might be associated with the Jews, including the Roveres.

As a typical family that relied on nepotism to obtain high positions, the Rovere family was not much better than the Borgia family in terms of morality and behavior, and more importantly, Alexander remembered very well that when Giuliano della Rovere became pope, the name of Julius II that accompanied him was also famous, which was the nickname "Pope of Debt" and "Pope of Usury".

Because of this, Alexander would not be surprised if old Rovere's name appeared in the lists of Jewish debts or in the books of the businessmen associated with them.

But now, the result of the investigation is the Farner family, which makes Alexander really surprised, but also vaguely uneasy.

This made him suddenly realize that if there were people around Alexander VI from the beginning who did not want him to investigate this matter clearly, then what was the attitude of the Pope himself was really worth thinking about.

"You have to get out of Rome." This is what Josha has repeatedly urged him, and Alexander understands what Josha means, and it is clear that no matter what the outcome of this matter is, he may become a scapegoat for some people in the end, and more importantly, Alexander VI's ambiguous attitude in this matter makes it impossible to figure out which side he is on.

As a father, he should have wanted to catch his son's murderer, but as a Borgia, the conspirator from the Archbishop of Valencia might have had other ideas, and as a pope, it was difficult for Alexander VI to guess what exactly Giovanni's death was going to do.

At this time, it really seems that the safest thing is to leave Rome as soon as possible.

Alexander's heart moved, and when he saw the name of the Farnes appear on the list of those who had deep associations with the Jews, and was at the top of the list, he knew that he might have violated something that had been covered up.

The possible contradictions between Borgia and Farne, and whether the Roman nobles had any other dealings with the Jews, Alexander knew that any of them would cause him great trouble, and now he seemed to have caused them all at once.

"The Farnes took advantage of Alexander VI's status to become one of the biggest merchants in the Roman market, and they were able to make a windfall every time Rome was in trouble," Zhosa looked at the papers and shook her head slightly, "If I were their family, I would not be so stupid as to let Julia Farne swagger so much, you must know that the title of Christ's New Year is not a compliment, if it is known that they are sending their own women to the Pope's bed, and at the same time colluding with the Jews to make their money, That's a terrible thing. ”

So when they found out that Giovanni had noticed their collusion with the Jews, they had Giovanni killed, and even blamed Caesar? That's why you think I should leave Rome right away, and whatever happens next is going to be bad, don't you? Alexander asked

Josha nodded, and she reached out to put her hand on Alexander's shoulder, kissing him first on the chin, then gradually upwards to his lips.

"Listen to me and go back to Montina, only in this way can you avoid this calamity that may cause you great trouble."

Alexander reached out and dragged the back of her head, gently and firmly held her head to prevent her from moving, then kissed her lips and gently pierced her teeth with the tip of his tongue.

Although Josha made a point, Alexander didn't think it was that simple.

"Don't forget, I'm looking for the Triple Crown now," Alexander reminded softly, "Do you think the people of the Farne family would be stupid enough to use the Triple Crown to make a deal with the Jews, and for them either to keep it for themselves or give this to the Pope, and in any case they will get more benefits than if they were to trade with the Jews." ”

"So who do you think made the deal with the Triple Crown?" Perhaps it was Alexander's words that distracted her, or simply the lingering between her lips and tongue that made her forget the words for a while, and Zhosa no longer insisted that Alexander leave, but asked out of curiosity.

"Whoever this man would take such a risk to deal with the Jews with that crown shows that he was in dire need of that money, so it is enough to know who has spent so much money lately."

When Alexander said this, the figure of a person had already flashed in his mind, although he was not sure how that person was involved with the triple crown, but thinking that this person did meet the conditions he said, Alexander felt that maybe he was really standing at the door of some truth.

All that is needed now is to reach out and push that door open and let the truth be exposed to all.

Looking at Alexander's playful eyes, Jisha couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.

"My brother admit it, it's not that you can't leave because of the Pope's order," Jossa gently broke free from Alexander's arms, "it's you who don't want to leave, you're already captivated by the city." ”

As she spoke, she took a few steps back in disappointment and looked at Alexander: "If you continue like this, you will one day be mercilessly devoured by this city, like many people who come to Rome to venture out." ”

"Or another outcome," watched as Josha continued to retreat, Alexander took a few steps forward and grabbed her shoulder, lifting her chin to make her look at herself, "Maybe one day I will conquer this city." ”

"But it's more likely that you've been defeated by this crazy city before you conquer it."

Asha was a little angry, she tried to break free from Alexander's arms, but she couldn't get rid of it because her waist was tightly held by one hand, and to her surprise, Alexander's other hand was actually lifting the hem of her skirt up.

"I will not be defeated by this city, nor by the people here," Alexander said, taking Jossa in his arms, so that the two of them were close together, and then whispered in her ear, "Why do you think I let Massimo go to the Pope, and why should I sing his praises, knowing that Alexander VI's actions do not deserve that kind of praise at all, and I believe that if this continues, it may not be long before something that has never happened before, It would have been no easier than a pagan invasion, and then I needed someone to help me at the Vatican, not just by my side. ”

Listening to Alexander's turbulent description in her ears, and feeling the strange caress she had never felt until she had grown up to 18 years old, she could no longer bear this tremendous stimulation from both sides of body and mind, her body suddenly tensed, and with the burning touch of Alexander's hand on her skin, the 18-year-old girl let out a long moan full of temptation for the first time.

Whether Alexander was fascinated by Rome or not is not said for the time being, at least Massimo was completely captivated.

The sudden rise of fame became the new favorite and the topic of conversation in the city, and people were angry and incredulous at this act of interpreting the Pope's misdeeds as sacred, and even borrowing from the Bible to put them on the Pope, or Alexander VI at all.

For judging from his actions, he seems to be a man who came into this world hundreds of years ago, and he constantly asks why people cannot restore the worship and reverence of the Holy See and the Holy See centuries ago, and expresses indignation at those who point out the bad behavior of the Pope, while his words and deeds are so simple and unpretentious that even the most mean people know that he is boasting, and even sanctifying the title of Pope, but he really can't find a reason to refute it.

The Pope is God's walking voice on earth, and this rule, which has been recognized and applied for nearly 1,500 years, is enough to cover Mashimo's sermons with an unattackable veil.

Like Massimo, there was another person who was fascinated by Rome, and that was the Bishop of Palermo, Alfonso.

Alfonso's desire to become a cardinal has never been more persistent.

This is because he knows that only by becoming a cardinal can he have a chance to become pope.

Especially after the monk named Massimo began to preach, Alfonso's desire was even stronger.

It was only to Alfonso's anger and vaguely uneasiness that Alexander seemed to have discovered something.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to contact the masked man who could be trusted before Crean left.

Alfonso was intimidated by the people of Crean, and if he could never want to have anything to do with them, especially after mortgaging the Triple Crown, although he got the gold coins he needed for bribes, he didn't want to have anything to do with them.

Only now he had no choice, he felt that Alexander had set his sights on him, and he got out of these troubles as soon as possible.

Alfonso walked uneasily back and forth in the room, knowing that the more he did this, the more he could not get rid of those people, especially since they would actually take out the triple crown as collateral, which not only meant that they had power that he could not imagine, but also had different expectations of him.

In that case, how could those people let him go so easily?

Alfonso was angry at times, slightly excited, and if those people could really support him, then perhaps he would be able to do more than just stop at the cardinal's position in the future.

But why did those people invest so much money in him, speaking of which, there are not many people who are more worthy of investment than him in the fight for the cardinal position this time.

Alfonso walked back and forth preoccupationally, until he suddenly felt the torches on the wall swaying slightly as if the wind was blowing, and his eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes on the back of a shadow that shone from behind him on the wall in front of him.

"Bishop, you look like a caged beast," a deep voice came from behind Alfonso, "I hope you have something important to do with me." ”

"Something important," the Bishop turned quickly, he was not used to being behind him by such a beast-like man, which made him feel as if the next moment the man would pounce on him and bite him by the neck, "I think that Cambrai has noticed me, or that he has discovered something." ”

Defonso felt that the masked man in front of him seemed to tremble slightly at the mention of Cambrai's name, but it was not due to fear, but more like some kind of irrepressible excitement.

"What did he find?" The masked man stared at Alfonso through his eyes, "Bishop, you must tell me everything, only then can I help you." ”

Alfonso felt like a man whose soul had been seduced by Satan the moment he spoke, but he also knew that he had to pay a price to get the help of the man in front of him and those behind him.

"I think he's found out about the Triple Crown," Alfonso voiced his concerns, though reluctant to mention it, "and he asked me if I had a deal with the Jews, and although he didn't say what it was, I could feel that he was suspicious of me." ”

"Maybe you're just overthinking," the mask on the masked man's face moved, "the man is now looking around for Giovanni's killer, and he doesn't seem to have that much time to mind your business." ”

"No, I can feel what he found," Alfonso said anxiously, "and you mentioned Giovanni, who died in those ghettos, what did he do there, did he find out about the triple crown, or did he die because of this, then it all has something to do with me." ”

A gleam flashed in the masked man's eyes, he didn't expect that this bishop from Sicily would have such a keen sense of observation and would approach the edge of truth so quickly.

"Your Excellency, you just have to do your own thing, as for that Cambrai," the masked man slowly stepped back, his figure looking so big as he stood on the stone railing around the slipway behind him, "I won't let him get his way, don't worry, it's not just your business, I have an old account to settle with him." ”

As he spoke, the masked man leaped forward, and the figure disappeared out of the window.

"God, I hope this will pass quickly," Alfonso sat weakly in the chair next to him, he was indeed very infatuated with the luxury and prosperity of Rome, and envied the dignitaries of the Vatican who held great power, but all kinds of dazzling things happened in Rome also made Alfonso secretly frightened, although he didn't know what the masked man would use to solve the trouble in front of him, but he was still the one who could succeed.

Or, maybe it would be better if that person gave up their life while solving the trouble.

Clarion has been gone for a long time, or he is trapped by something, or he may simply have an accident, after all, it is not unusual for someone to have some accident these days.

And if something happens to the masked man, then even if there are other people behind these people, it will take a long time to find him again.

This was enough time for him to use the money he received from the Jews to open the way to the cardinal's position.

At that time, even if those people came to him again, it would definitely be different from now.

After all, compared to a cardinal who was in dire need of help from a foreign land, as a cardinal of high status, he could ask those people to make more demands, and even ask them to help him make his assault on the papal throne.

"God willing, may all the best."

Alfonso walked over to the cross embedded in the wall and whispered a prayer, unaware that in an alley not far from his window, the masked man who had just left had returned.

The eyes that looked at the bishop's bedroom window flashed with a chill.

On this night, many people in the city of Rome stayed up all night.
