"No, I don't know, Mr. Symond."

Wang Weiyi's answer did not satisfy Popovac at all: "Lieutenant Moyol, maybe you have been on the front line for too long, and you don't know who has the final say here." It's me, Simmond Jean Popovac! Anyone who steals from me will be punished with the severest punishment from me! ”

"What does that have to do with me? Mr. Symond? Wang Weiyi still asked lightly.

His attitude immediately irritated Popovac: "Are you really not afraid, lieutenant? If I find out that this has anything to do with you, I swear you won't get out of Lance alive! I don't care what your relationship with General Raffarin is! Here, you'd better not offend me! ”

"You'd better not offend me, too." Wang Weiyi said calmly.

Popovac was stunned for a moment, he had never seen anyone dare to speak to him like that.

Wang Weiyi ordered the scene of the reception: "Mr. Symond, have you seen this?" As long as I'm happy, I can flatten this place in an hour. General Raffarin can't protect me, and he can't protect you! ”

Popovac was a little stunned. Is this a threat to yourself? Anyone in Reims dares to speak to themselves like that?

"And your men, who always like to fiddle with knives, can't protect you either." Wang Weiyi was very calm when he said this: "Thirty minutes, it only takes thirty minutes, and you and all your subordinates will become corpses!" ”

"You're crazy, you're crazy!" Popovac muttered.

"Maybe." Wang Weiyi said indifferently, and then said as if inadvertently: "Whether what I said is true or not, maybe you can get confirmation from the Countess Schiller." ”

Popovac was stunned: "Who?" ”

"Ah, maybe calling her Countess Leonie would impress you better."

"Countess Leonie?" When he heard the name, Popovac's eyes lit up: "Hey, lieutenant, why didn't you say it earlier?" If you're a friend of the Countess, I can even send you another bottle of wine! ”

Wang Weiyi is now beginning to believe Countess Leonie's words, Popovac is indeed one of her crazy suitors, and just one name can eliminate all of Popovac's malice.

Popovac suddenly sensed something was wrong: "You are not French! ”

"It doesn't matter who I am." A new idea appeared in Wang Weiyi's mind: "The important thing is that the countess thinks that I can get your help in Reims"

"Help?" Popovac said slyly, "Are you here with some kind of special mission, lieutenant?" ”

Seeing Wang Weiyi nodded, Popovac spread his hands: "I think the countess may have told you about my love for him, but I am a Frenchman, and I can't betray the interests of France." But if there's something that impresses me enough, I'll probably consider whether I can help you."

"Do you know that a French major named de Sade is coming to Reims?" Wang Weiyi said slowly.

"I think I've heard of this guy somewhere." Popovac thought for a moment: "You know that I am very powerful in Reims, and there are some things that others do not know about I can learn from other channels. It is said that this major came for a general"

Wang Weiyi looked to the side: "Mr. Simmond, there are too many people here, let's go over there and talk." ”

The mysterious appearance of the other party aroused Popovac's great curiosity, and as Wang Weiyi came to a place where there was no one, Wang Weiyi said in a low voice: "Actually, De Sade is not here for any general, this is just a cover-up." The real purpose of his coming here is one thing: gold! ”

Popovac's eyes lit up!

Gold? What could be more alluring than gold?

"How much gold?" Popovac asked impatiently.

"Two hundred and twenty pounds and thirty-five ounces!"

Popovac was completely stunned!

God, more than a hundred kilograms of gold? What is this concept?

"This, I'm afraid it's unlikely" Bopovac muttered, "Two hundred and twenty pounds? God, so much gold is shipped to Reims, why I don't know the way? Where did so much gold come from? ”

"It was of a Russian aristocracy." Wang Weiyi made up his story: "You know, the so-called revolution in Russia was very violent, and some Russian nobles had begun to flee that terrible place. One of them, Petrov, was one of them. He wanted to go to Paris via Germany, but the news leaked out. One of the Germans, Colonel Thomas, killed the Russian nobleman in an attempt to seize the gold."

"Thomas? I know this man, he is the one who has been confronting the French army on the Reims front for a long time. When he heard the name Thomas, Popovac was already a little convinced.

"Yes, Thomas." Wang Weiyi said "solemnly": "But then something went wrong, Petrov acted separately from the gold in order to worry about an accident on the road, although Colonel Thomas killed Petrov, he found nothing, and at this time the gold had secretly entered Reims"

The story is getting more and more bizarre, but it's also getting more and more convincing that it's true. Wang Weiyi then said in a spirited tone:

"As soon as the gold entered Reims, it was quickly exposed as it was not received, and then it was secretly seized by General Raffarin. Colonel Thomas, who had found nothing, decided to attack desperately, wanting to capture Reims and recapture the gold."

It dawned on Popovac that it was no wonder that the Germans had suddenly attacked, it turned out to be for gold! Now there is a plausible explanation for the German offensive.

Two hundred and twenty pounds of gold, anyone will be tempted.

"Do you know who was responsible for receiving this batch of gold and sending them and Petrov safely to Paris?"

Wang Weiyi asked this question, and Popovac pondered slightly, and then said, "Is it the Countess?" ”

"Yes, you are smart, you are the Countess." Wang Weiyi nodded: "And I was originally responsible for receiving this batch of gold." It's a pity that my friend and I had some trouble on the way and were delayed, and we didn't get into Reims until yesterday, and I couldn't complete my mission, but I didn't want to go back empty-handed."

"Do you want to steal this gold?" Popovac was now beginning to figure out what the other man meant.

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "This gold is enough to make everyone crazy." ”
