Chapter 1337: Each has its own merits
Yushchenko hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to report this matter!" ”
Caracalla said unhappily: "What's the use of reporting now? Don't you see that the king of Jerusalem is in a different place? ”
Yushchenko did not know how to answer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Caracalla calmed down a little and asked, "What did you find?" ”
Yushchenko hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, our secret agents at the border discovered that there was a group of smugglers from the Wei State who falsely claimed to have come from the Jin State to enter the territory with the assistance of our smugglers, and they did not know where to go after passing through the province of Osroina!" Later, it was found that this group of smugglers from the Wei State disguised themselves as Cypriot merchants and entered Rome! I was about to report this to His Majesty, but I didn't expect it to happen! ”
Caracalla was silent for a moment, and said to Yushchenko: "Although your intelligence department is not at fault in this matter, it is also responsible for dereliction of duty, I revoke your title of marquis, can you be convinced?" ”
Where did Yushchenko dare to have any objections, and hurriedly thanked him.
Caracalla said in a deep voice: "The Wei people are hateful, but the inner ghosts are even more hateful!" Who brought them in? ”
Yushchenko replied: "It's the third son of the Nick family, Nick Ruwen!" ”
"Family Nick!?" Caracalla looked a little hesitant.
The Nick family was one of the most prominent aristocratic families in the Roman Empire, having been a dignitary of the Roman Empire for two hundred years, and is currently one of Caracalla's staunch supporters.
Both Yushchenko and Dürer understood Caracalla's dilemma.
After a good moment, Caracalla sighed and admonished, "This is the end of this matter!" You don't have to keep tracking! It is impossible for the Nick family to collude with foreign enemies, they must have been used! ”
"Yes!" Yushchenko replied.
"What else has to lose but the king of Jerusalem?" Caracalla asked.
Durer replied: "At the same time as the palace in Jerusalem was attacked, the granaries, the rich quarters, and the brothels were also attacked!" ”
"Brothel!?" Caracalla looked puzzled.
Dürer nodded, puzzled: "We haven't figured out why they raided the brothel so far!" This seems a little ridiculous! ”
Caracalla said with a straight face: "The Wei people will never do ridiculous things!" ”
Dürer nodded, "The fire in the granary was extinguished by us in time, but it still lost more than 200,000 stone of grain, the loss in the rich area is not large, the loss in the brothel area is great, and more than a dozen brothels were razed to the ground by the fire!" ”
Caracalla rubbed his forehead with a distressed look.
"Your Majesty, the people in the city are panicking at the moment, should we do something? Should the truth about today's attack be revealed? Yushchenko asked.
Caracalla pondered: "If the people know that the Wei people have actually penetrated into Rome to attack, and have caused such serious damage, I am afraid that it will be even more panicked, and it will be quite unfavorable for the future strategy!" ”
"And what does Your Majesty mean?"
"Put the blame for this on the remnants of the Senate! And tell everyone that all the rebellions that infiltrated Rome have not been extinguished! ”
Yushchenko and Dürer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they understood, and Yushchenko said: "I understand! Your Majesty, if nothing else, the minister will retire! ”
Caracalla admonished: "Send the intelligence department's competent agents to search the city of Rome and the surrounding cities closely!" Be careful not to cause panic among the public! ”
"Yes!" Yushchenko answered and withdrew from the main hall.
Caracalla said to Düre: "From this day forward, your guards will take over the city defenses!" ”
"Yes!"
"How's the situation going on the royal side of Jerusalem?"
"Nothing happened over there! I've sent a thousand-man squad to defend it! ”
Caracalla nodded and said in a deep voice: "The king of Jerusalem is dead, and the royal family of Jerusalem cannot have any more problems!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured! I'll be careful! Your Majesty, is there something you don't understand? ”
"Say it!"
"Your Majesty, although the king of Jerusalem is dead, the royal family is still there, and this doesn't seem to have much impact on us, right?"
Caracalla shook his head, "It's not that simple! The people of Jerusalem value blood! It is true that there are more than a dozen people in the entire Jerusalem royal family, but the only one with pure blood is the king of Jerusalem who was killed! We could have had another king of Jerusalem at once, but it would have been no match for the former! ”
Dürer suddenly.
Thus happened, and the streets of Rome were much more depressed than usual, and pedestrians hurried to their homes, and bands of patrols walked through the streets with vigilant expressions.
"What's going on with Jin? How could such a thing happen? A young passerby muttered.
He had a very bad feeling, as if he was in a pack of wolves.
There are many people who feel the same way as him now, and everyone feels very unsafe.
A large merchant on South Main Street.
This merchant is very large, with a façade of more than 20 meters long and three floors, making it one of the largest merchants on the entire street.
It is very famous in and around the city of Rome. The owner of the place was a Greek, named Dekans, who dealt in cloth, spices, etc., as well as silk and porcelain from the East.
The Roman court turned a blind eye to the fact that almost all of Rome's merchants sold smuggled silk and porcelain, as a large part of the taxes were paid from it, even though Rome was still at odds with the Wei Empire.
Backyard.
Dekanth hurried to the outside of a room in the backyard, looked around cautiously, and then knocked lightly on the door, which opened, and Dekanth flashed in.
There were a lot of people in the house, and the leader turned out to be Yan Xing, the general of the Jinyi Guard, didn't they go out of the city?
It turned out that what Dürer had seen at the city gate was nothing more than an illusion.
"General!" Dekanth saluted Yan Xing.
Dekans's identity is actually not simple, he is actually a secret agent left in Rome by Jinyiwei, he is not exactly Greek, his father is a Han smuggling merchant, and his mother is a Greek civilian woman, his appearance completely inherits his mother's genes, and he is completely a Greek, but he inherits his father's genes in his bones, which makes him an important agent left in Rome by Jinyiwei.
"How's it going out there?" Yan Xing asked.
Dekanth replied, "Very nervous! But the general doesn't have to worry! It was impossible for the Roman court to conduct a large-scale search in the city! This would cause a great deal of panic, which is not what Caracalla wanted to see! ”
Yan Xing nodded.
"General, you stay here! I'll let you know right away if there's any situation! ”
Yan Xing nodded, hugged his fists and said, "There is labor!" ”
"Is there any information on the royal family of Jerusalem?" Yan Xing asked.
Dekanth shook his head, "Not yet!" I'm nervous right now, and it would be too conspicuous to go out and investigate! I think that if something like this happens, the Roman court will definitely strengthen the protection of the royal family of Jerusalem! It's impossible to have a chance in a short period of time! General, don't act rashly! ”
"I know that, you don't have to worry!"
Dekanth nodded, clenched his fists and said, "General, if there is nothing else, I will retire!" ”
Yan Xing nodded and advised, "Remember to send out the book after nightfall!" ”
"I know! Rest assured, general! Dekanth exited the room.
Upon coming out, Dekanth ordered his henchmen to keep a tight guard around the backyard.
"General, what are we going to do next?" One of the subordinates asked.
Yan Xing sat down on the top and thought, "Our mission has not been completed yet, so we will not leave here for the time being, unless there is an order from His Majesty!" Wait! ”
"Yes!"
Later that day, the Roman court issued an announcement saying that the entire incident was planned by the remnants of the Senate, and that all the Senate rebels who had infiltrated Rome had been ambushed, so that everyone should not panic.
As soon as this announcement was made, the restless people of Rome calmed down, and at the same time panic turned to anger, and they cursed the rebels who were stirring up trouble. Caracalla's method had the desired effect, killing two birds with one stone.
A few days later, news of the success of the suicide of the king of Jerusalem reached Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was happy, but also a little worried.
With the current situation, Yan Xing's next move will be very difficult.
Cao Cao considered whether he should stop this operation, but in fact, the assassination of the king of Jerusalem had basically completed the task.
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then decided to let Yan Xing continue with the mission.
Cao Cao stretched his waist, and then felt a pair of slender hands massaging on his shoulders, it was Cui Yingying, she was not as versatile as Cai Yan, not as delicate but cute as Mihuan, and not as charming as Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, but she also had her own characteristics, that is, she was meticulous and gentle as water.
Cao Cao patted Cui Yingying's slender hand, glanced back, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Yingying, are you tired?"
Cui Yingying shook her head, "I'm not tired!" Your Majesty is tired! ”
Cao Cao smiled and sighed, "This world is fair!" The more you gain, the more you lose! So, I got the world, I got you, and I should be tired! ”
Cui Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, looking very gentle.
"Yingying, why did Yan'er lose so much temper with Lele yesterday?" Cao Cao asked as he remembered something.
Cui Yingying massaged Cao Cao's shoulders with both hands and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing!" It's just that Lele didn't take Mr.'s class, and took Xiao Ash to the bamboo forest to chase the hare! ”
"Huh! This Cao Le, do this kind of thing! Yan'er has learned that children can't be too pampered! ”
Cui Yingying said suddenly: "So Your Majesty didn't dissuade Sister Yan yesterday?" ”
Cao Cao nodded, and smiled at Cui Yingying: "If our children are so skinny in the future, I will never cover them!" ”
Cui Yingying blushed and nodded gently. (To be continued.) )
