Chapter 156: Retreat in the face of difficulties
"This matter is related to the 'rule of law process' that the central government of the Elta Empire and the people of the other world are fully promoting, and there is no reason to retreat or entrust it to a false snake. They can stretch their hands and feet and do justice to Mr. Joronaco in a reasonable and lawful manner......"
The Marquis of Carolas carefully held the scattered letterhead in front of him, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were larger than one.
This letter is special - from the first word to the last, it is all made up of shredded newspapers. It is clear that the letter writer did not want to reveal his identity through handwriting, even with Elta's lingua franca typewriter.
This is because there are not many units that actually own typewriters - and often, the use of typewriters is not completely safe: in many organizations, the environment in which they are used is public. It's not easy to make sure that this doesn't go undetected.
And in the case of newspaper spellings, occasional grammatical errors and inexplicable omissions can be understoodβthe one who frames it may be lazy. This just conceals the fact that the writer does not know the Elta language well enough and does not have a good enough level.
However, the Marquis of Carolas was not concerned with this, but with the fact that each of the above lines conveyed the fact that the writer was well aware of the considerations and gains and losses of the central government of Elta, which made him feel an inexplicable fear of the power gnawing at each other.
Of course, the possibility of compromising with you in a dilemma cannot be ruled out. If this is the case, although the noble status still cannot be restored, it can at least comfort the spirit of Joronaco in heaven and prevent the Joronaco family from being impoverished......"
"Finnmere." Garolas put the letterhead back on the table, turned his head and asked a question:
"If we are civilians now, and we have sent such a letter from somewhere, let us follow the above meaning, and this letter is very well versed in what the officials and nobles are thinking and what they are going to do, will you feel afraid?"
"Garolas, what are you thinking, this is to help Joronaco ......"
"Wrong! Wrong! Garolas tapped lightly on the table. How can the people of another world and the current group of people in the Elta Empire make laws, is that something we can mix? How many heads did you have, Fenmere, enough to be cut off by someone from another world? The person who sent the letter was clearly a deep aide in Elta's central government, and perhaps even ...... Maybe it's an important role, you still don't understand? β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of some of the people present had already turned a little pale. Garolas is right - the current central government of Elta can be seen as the palace of the old empire, and the palace struggle is something that the nobles can intervene in? The emperor got angry and even cut down his own people (the imperial family), let alone you foreigners?
But the power of the nobility is sometimes also the object of exploitation by the royal family. Of course, if you win, you will continue to be rich for a few lifetimes, or from being penniless to being in the house; Lost? Moving the head is a trivial matter.
Just as it is impossible to maintain the same voice in the palace forever, there will be different views on different events and policies within the central government of Elta. This disagreement may be due to disinterestedness, simply different opinions, but it is more likely to be due to interests, or the interests represented by those who disagree.
In the eyes of the Marquis of Carolas, to be able to do things so desperately and to guide them so clearly, it is undoubtedly to instigate them to join the struggle of the letter writers, and it is by no means as simple as "sympathizing with the Marquis of Joronaco" and "wanting to help the Marquis of Joronaco".
In other words, it was not the Elta people in high positions who were able to write this letter, or even those with higher status than them...... Chinese. Garolas looked around, revealing the mystery of a piece of paper left before he could say a word. If we want to help Joronaco, this man only needs to use his hands to turn the situation around, so why use such a lengthy letter to dictate what we should do? β
"So what's the solution? Maybe this man is just a little nobleman who can't speak," Fenmere also sensed that something was wrong, but he was unwilling to give up this life-saving straw that could make the nobleman raise his head. "Otherwise, what means do we have to keep the Ronaco family from decaying?"
"Anyway, you invited me here today just to get me involved, in other words, 'you want to drag me into the water'." The Marquis of Carolas began to button up his shirt, "I can only make it clear that I will not join in this matter, and I don't even want to hear about what will happen after that." β
"Wait, Marquis of Carolas!" Finnmere stopped Carolas, who was leaving. "It's not like I'm going to drag you into the water, and you don't want to see it if something like this happens to Ronaco, right? Could it be that his family has become nothing like this, and you can still watch it? β
"No one wants this to happen!" Garoras pushed Fenmere away, "But don't you think it's good for everyone to take a step?" If this is a game, if the Ronaco family and you step into it, it will not be a loss, but a Ronaco, if you don't get it right, you will be wiped out! Not only the Ronaco family, but even you have to be buried together! For the sake of old friends, I remind you, stop it! β
Carolas' plan is nothing more than a "cut the meat and stop the loss". If a Ruo Luo Naco died, he could still live this life, and the nobles would not become street rats. But if you insist on going to the unknown enemy according to the meaning of that letter, you will probably end up in a broken house.
"......"
"Whatever you say, my legs sit right on my ass." Garoras gripped the hilt of his saber and motioned for Fenmere to get out of the way. "If something big happens in the future, Hugh will say that I didn't warn you......"
Having said that, there is no need to say any more. If he continued to do so, Garoras's blade would come out of its sheath and lay in front of his former friend. Being a man and leaving a line, the Count of Finnmere should always understand this.
Looking at the back of Garolas's departure, Fenmere could only face the empty aisle, and fold his hands helplessly to a few relatives of the Joronaco family, to show that he had done his best.
"I am very touched to have other nobles willing to help my family, as the current head of the Joronaco family." The words of the woman at the head of the family made the Earl of Finnmere almost flutter to the sky, but the next sentence made him fall to the bottom at once.
"Marquis of Carolas...... He has his own considerations. Naturally, this cannot be forced. But...... I now think that there is some truth in what he said. β
"Ma'am!" Fenmere's eyes widened in horror, "Do you even want to give up?" This is the last hope of the Elta nobles, and it is the opportunity to use the otherworlder's own spear to smash the otherworld's own shield...... Oh no, the only chance! And our friends are willing to give us ...... within the government Help ......"
Halfway through his speech, he saw Mrs. Joronaco gently shake her hand.
"There is no gratuitous love, and there is no unprovoked hate." The surviving man recounted lightly in a tone of grief, "This is what my father taught me when he was still alive. What the Marquis of Carolas said was a bit of a father's meaning, not to mention how powerful this noble man was, and whether he could reverse the situation of my deceased husband's case, it would definitely be profitable for him to send this letter. β
It's a very simple judgment. It's just that everyone who had been in the "focus" of Elta's code and how to win was rejoicing in the success of the "civil complaint" - they knew nothing about the real power.
"What are you going to do, ma'am?"
"According to the law in force in Elta, minors under the age of 20 are called 'limited civil capacity' and have no capacity for litigation. His legal representative will act on his behalf, so I am now giving up the confrontation with my son and daughter...... Willingness to prosecute the case of my deceased husband. Count Finnmere, forgive me for being rude. If I can find other blood agents to prosecute this case, I don't mind. It's just that as a mother, I know very well that children can't live without their mothers. Even if they are poor, I will raise them to adulthood. β
"Madam, you ......" Fenmere pointed at Mrs. Joronaco, the accusatory words swirling in her throat, but she couldn't say it. At that moment, another man beside Mrs. Joronaco walked straight out, startling everyone.
"Shaya!" This time it was Mrs. Joronaco's turn to hide her face in surprise. But after all, it was also a noble family, and she quickly regained her look. "You're going to fight for the Marquis instead of me?"
Joronaco's concubine Shaya nodded.
"It's okay, if Ronaco loved you a lot during his lifetime, it is natural for you to have this heart. After all, no matter how good the appearance is, if you remarry, you have to discount it. But since you're going, I won't stop you. I naturally don't want any compensation. This relationship must be made clear between you and me. β
If Mrs. Ronalco's words were thorny, Shaya's heart kept rolling. She stubbornly raised her head, as if she had resisted Mrs. Joronaco's pressure: "Of course. It's okay for my sister to be timid, but I don't shrink back like that. If my sister wants to make a verbal promise, we already have someone to support us in front of the nobles today; If my sister wants to prove it in writing, then you can take a pen and paper, and I'll write it now! β
This aggressive posture gave her some upper hand for a while.
And in the face of the sudden tightening of the situation, Mrs. Ronaco could only reply: "I can trust your credit." You don't have to talk about how to commit to it, as long as you think it's good for the Ronaldo family, just do it. In addition, I know that as a concubine, you will naturally be unsatisfactory in terms of inheritance. If this is successful, it won't have to do much with me in terms of money. β
