Chapter 3: Roboz's Past and Richelieu
"It's true that there is no record of any civilians." It stands to reason that a blind person would not have the ability to view this record.
But a smile is a smile after all, and he gently groped for a moment with the palm of his hand on the record, and nodded in approval of Roboz's statement.
Lu Zheng was strange, how did he do it with a smile? It's a lot harder than he can fight.
You must know that the difference between a life in vigorous exercise and a text recorded many years ago is as big as an abyss.
And if a smile can be so sure that it is really serious or false, it will never be a vague perception of the result, and it must be able to get the result accurately.
Lu Lizheng was full of questions, smiled but continued to ask: "There is indeed nothing wrong with the record, but this is not evidence that you have not committed evil deeds. ”
"You still don't give up, do you have to get to the bottom of it and ask clearly?" Roboz's tousled beard curled, and he replied with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Hundreds of lives are at stake, and I dare not do my best to seek peace of mind."
"It all started thirty years ago, when I was an ordinary guard in the palace, wasting my life in the palace. It was in that year that Lord Richelieu came to Vaasa in this country. ”
Lopoz put down his sword and sat cross-legged on the dusty marble floor.
"Cardinal Richelieu? What does this have to do with him? He asked with a surprised smile.
"Yes, Mistress Richelieu. That year he came to the palace, and His Majesty trusted him so much that he made him a deputy minister, which was second only to the prime minister, and gave him twenty guards. I was lucky enough to be favored by my lords and became the head of the guards. Tropoz found a bottle of red wine out of nowhere, took a sip and fell back into memory.
"At that time, the Queen Mother was still there, the king was suppressed by the Queen Mother and the courtiers, and the local nobles were also ready to move, the Queen Mother collected taxes, and the nobles also collected taxes.
Ordinary people work hard for a year, but they still owe a huge amount of taxes, and if they don't pay it back then, the next year the whole family will become slaves and be sold to the mines or I don't know which country, even if you earn enough taxes and avoid the pirates in captivity of those big chambers of commerce to rob, that ordinary person in the world can't live at all.
But Richelieu changed all that! After a few years, he changed the law so that the nobles could divide the estate among the rest of their sons, and in a few years he gained the support of most of the newly divided nobles.
He also united with the royal party and religion to force the prime minister to abdicate and seized the throne. He also united with the ministers to force the queen mother and the nobles to give up the power to collect taxes, and greatly reduced the king's taxes.
He also wanted to vigorously develop the navy to suppress pirates.
But the development of the navy requires money, and Lord Richelieu has reduced so many taxes, where did he get Pele to build the navy. ”
Lu Lihe smiled quietly at the old man who fell into nostalgia.
"That's when I came up with an idea, and the most brilliant idea of my life.
I was already a general at the time, and when Lord Richelieu was frowning for Pele, I told him that he could find someone to pretend to be a pirate and rob the big chambers and slave trappers of other countries, wouldn't that be rich?
As for who is going to be this pirate, of course I am the one who came up with the idea. The old man took another sip of red wine and sighed deeply.
"Then Vasa has one less inconspicuous general, and there is one more sea thief with a scribbled face in the West Sea, and I have been at sea for more than twenty years until I picked up that child, I have worked for Vasa and Lord Richelieu, how can I do something to slaughter my own people for money?"
Raising the bottle, Tropoz gulped the red wine, letting it run over his gray beard.
He smiled for a long time and didn't speak.
Lu Li was deeply attracted by this bizarre story, and imagined that he could have the same excitement, the same spirit, the same pride and ambition in his life journey, and dedicate his life to the country, for his ideals, and for his like-mindedness. It's probably hard.
"I'm proud of the civilians of your country, you're the one who really pays for the happiness of ordinary people." A smile bowed deeply.
"Rest assured, I won't reveal this. And I will continue to look for the murderer, and I hope to tell you good news the next time I see you. A smile gave Roboz a reassuring reply.
"That young man over there, I feel your gratitude, but you shouldn't be so weak.
You should and must have your own belief in your fist, which is stronger and more powerful. With stronger faith, the punch will be indomitable, and there will be no weakness and retreat, only in this way can you be called a strong man.
You should take this as a blind man's reparation! After saying this with a smile, he lifted his cane and knife and left the crumbling gambling hall, and disappeared from Lu Li's sight in a short time.
At this time, the wine bottle in Roboz's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a thud.
"Stinky boy, why are you still in a daze, why don't you hurry up and help the old man!" Roboz blew his beard and glared at Lu Li.
"Old man, aren't you the legendary sea thief, you won't run away if you want to escape, how can you be seen by a sword and your legs are weak." Lu Li came back to his senses, but began to ridicule Roboz.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the old man's old age, how could he be defeated with a smile and a sword, the old man was a thief in the West Sea who offered a reward of more than 100 million Bailey!" Although he received a sword, his muscles and bones were weak, and he could not move, so he could only sit on the ground, but Roboz refused to admit defeat, and the dead duck had a hard mouth.
"Just blow it! By the way, old man, have you left any great treasures, bring me two copies! Lu Li stretched out his hand and helped Roboz up to the seat with a smile.
Roboz's beard began to curl again, "All the money the old man has given to Lord Richelieu to form a navy, how can there be any treasures!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll just ask. Hey, by the way, you just said that you picked up a child at sea before you picked me up, what's the situation, why don't I know, tell me! Lu Li patted his head and remembered such an incident.
"Ha, he's not such an obnoxious little devil as you. That was ten years ago, when Lord Richelieu's navy was already very strong, and the pirates in the nearby seas were suppressed and could not stand out.
Lord Richelieu met with me secretly and asked me if I wanted to be a pirate anymore, and if I wanted to be a pirate, I would continue, and if I didn't want to, I would come back and help him lead the navy.
Naturally, I didn't want to continue to be a pirate, but I was also tired of living at sea, and I turned down Lord Richelieu's invitation to live in the Perth town that gave birth to me and raised me.
Fate is a really amazing thing, and in my last life at sea, I picked up a strange little child on the beach.
He was only ten years old at the time, and he was more than three meters tall, and although his appearance was a little strange, he was very lively, so I sent me a son and brought him back to raise him. Roboz looked very happy at the thought of the son-like child.
"What about the others, why haven't I seen him!"
"In the past two years, he has grown up and wanted to make some achievements, and it just so happens that Lord Richelieu has begun to reform again, and there is no force of protection around him, so I asked him to protect Lord Richelieu." Roboz was proud that not only could he help Mistress Risse, but his son could also contribute to Mistress Richelieu.
"By the way, I saved your life, and you gave it back to me. I shouldn't have preached anything to you anymore, but as I laughed, your heart is very empty and you lack the faith to go on.
In order for you to go further, I think you should go and meet Mistress Richelieu and ask him to give you some advice.
Here, this is Bailey for you, you go to the capital to find my adopted son, I have already contacted him with a phone bug, and he will take you to see Lord Richelieu. As he spoke, Tropoz took out a wad of Bailey from his arms and handed it to Lu Li.
Lu Li's face was embarrassed, but he didn't know how to refuse the old man's kindness, so he had to take Bailey and accept the arrangement.
"By the way, you can go to the capital and inquire directly and you can find my son, his name is Moria."
