Mrs. Van Diese's plan began to be arranged step by step, and even Soth, a supernumerary, was commanded by Mrs. Van Diese's feet to the ground.

At the gate of the courtyard, Sos took advantage of the moment when he passed by the middle-aged fat housekeeper and asked:

"What the hell is Madame going to do, investigate the net worth of so many people, including some women and children!"

The middle-aged fat housekeeper smiled and said:

"I don't know what Madame wants to do, I just need to know what Madame tells me to do, I'll do it!"

Then he glared meaningfully at Soth, and hurried into the manor.

Soth shook his head and walked out of the manor, this time aiming to determine the specifics of a chef's family and summarize the cook's movements.

Without a name, Mrs. Van Dyse only gave information that the chef was the chef of the Duke of Barot's estate, but that was enough, wasn't it?

Knowing where the chef's family is, I guarantee that I can control it at any time.

I also learned the pattern of the chef's actions, and guaranteed that he would be threatened at any time!

Why didn't this Mrs. Van Dysee just give the cook a bottle of poison and poison the Grand Duke Balot, wouldn't everything she wanted be at her fingertips?

After complaining in his heart, Soth still worked hard to complete his task.

It is unclear where the chef's home is, so only lurking in the vicinity of Barot's manor, Soth is ready to follow the chef and find out where his family is while learning about his movements.

However, while Soth lurked above a dense canopy, watching the side door of the manor, he saw and heard something interesting.

Two peasants, after a morning of working in the fields, came to the tree at noon to enjoy the cool while they were eating.

"This damn weather, it doesn't rain a single day, it's not a way to carry water every day, even if we are tired to death, we can't water the whole field, when it's time for the harvest, the nobles won't care how much we have reduced our production this year, they will only collect grain according to the amount of previous years!"

Another farmer hunched over, took a sip of water, and sighed:

"Yes, if this continues, the food produced this year will definitely not be enough to eat next year, the family has a little savings, and you can also buy food to survive, the family has a large population, I am afraid that I will starve to death next year!"

Saying this, the two farmers sighed in unison, both worried about their future.

After eating, the two peasants got up together and prepared to continue carrying water.

"Work, work, look good, we are much better than those displaced people who have no land to cultivate, as long as there is land, life will always be better!"

"That's right, but it's a pity, we are not homesteaders, we plant the fields of the noble lords, the rent is too expensive, if this is my own land, even if I am tired to death, I will water it all over the place, so that these lovely little seedlings will not die of thirst!"

Watching the two peasants go away, Soth thought thoughtfully.

"Tempting them to profit is a good way to guide people's hearts, and for these farmers, the best benefit is nothing more than a piece of land that belongs to them!"

Thinking of this, Soth's mind began to diverge.

Suddenly, Soth understood the other purpose of Lady Van Dyse's complex plan.

She wants the land of the yeoman farmers!

Soth suddenly realized!

This year's drought, and then Mrs. Van Dyse's hoarding of grain, caused the price of food to skyrocket, and the only way for farmers who could not afford to eat was to sell their fields if they wanted to survive!

And at this time, who will be the one who will buy the fields in the hands of the peasants? There will be no one else but the Barot family!

To control the fields in Barot's territory is to control the people in Barot's territory, and at the same time, to have a strong grasp of the army formed by the large number of refugees that will appear next year.

"Awesome!"

Rao is Soss, and he had to praise in his heart, this Mrs. Van Dyse took three steps to see it, the depth of the city, the wonder of the plan, it was simply terrifying.

At the same time, Soth's heart was moved, and in this way, the contradiction between the nobles and the commoners would be aggravated!

A year's time, Soth thought about it, and it should be enough.

Zhou Mo, who was still lingering in the imperial capital, raised his eyebrows, the bright germ in Soth's body had a tendency to continue to grow, it seemed that this little guy finally understood something and learned some necessary means.

This made Zhou Mo's mood better, and even his attitude towards the countess sent by the Ministry of Nobles improved.

"Ms. Hughes, the fruit of the palace orchard is very sweet, you might as well taste more!"

Clapping his hands, his own court attendant brought a plate of brightly colored fruits, which made Countess Hughes a little flattered.

Reluctantly squeezing a grateful smile on her face, the countess twisted her waist a little uneasily.

"Thank you for your hospitality, but about this list, please make it clear to Your Majesty Platinum!"

Zhou Mo didn't seem to hear this, picked up a fruit by himself, and after taking a bite, he enjoyed the taste brought by the sweet juice.

This made Countess Hughes breathe a sigh of relief, this platinum majesty is really invulnerable, invulnerable, don't want to poke out a little bit of attitude from his mouth.

"Ms. Hughes, have you heard, Her Majesty the Empress intends to hold the Imperial Knight Competition, and the rewards for the outstanding will be unprecedentedly rich, and the top few will be directly awarded the title of nobility!"

This matter has been rumored in the imperial capital, I don't know how many hot-blooded young people have begun to prepare to show their skills at this conference, how could Earl Hughes not know.

"Of course, I have heard that, and I also know that Your Majesty Platinum will be the chief judge of this knightly competition, and to be honest, there is no one in the empire who is more suitable for this position than you. ”

His Majesty Platinum can choose to talk to her about the topics he is willing to talk about, but because of the asymmetry of his identity, Earl Hughes cannot ignore any topic proposed by His Majesty Platinum, and this kind of grievance makes Ms. Hughes want to throw off her sleeves and leave, but she doesn't dare, so she can only talk hard.

"Does Lady Hughes's family have any excellent knights who want to participate in this conference? The top ten will almost all get the title of baron, and the first place may even be higher, and I will tell you that Her Majesty may seal a territory!"

Zhou Mo smiled shallowly, his blue eyes flashed with light, looking at Earl Hughes's eyes, this was the temptation of Chi Guoguo.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Earl Hughes asked tentatively:

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Count Hughes has several Mithril-level knights as his face, and there is no shortage of people to participate in the knights' conference, if he can really add a little area to her territory, Count Hughes feels that she can't refuse this temptation.

Zhou Mo stretched out his hand and clicked on the list placed in front of him, a list that had not changed a word, and said with a smile:

"The Ministry of Nobles has the power to submit the heirs of the nobility, and Ms. Hughes can be entrusted to discuss this kind of matter with this king, so she must have some influence in the Ministry of Nobles!"

"Your Majesty Platinum, although the Hughes family has some friends in the Ministry of Nobles, I have to say that the people who want this list to pass are not the friends of the Hughes family who can influence them!"

Earl Hughes made a gesture of helplessness, and his words were very sincere, because it was a fact, the Minister of War, the Minister of State and the Minister of Finance, and the influence of the three giants of the imperial capital on the Ministry of Aristocracy was unparalleled.

Zhou Mo shook his head and said:

"I don't need someone else to make decisions for me, I just need someone who can put the list up as I want, Earl Hughes, it shouldn't be difficult for you!"

Earl Hughes's eyes widened violently, looking at this Platinum Majesty, he suddenly remembered that those high-ranking nobles who had an honorable status and great influence in the aristocratic department, but had no actual power, those people were all the old subordinates of Platinum Majesty!

What does this Platinum Majesty want to do?

"This is impossible! Your Majesty Platinum, this is the imperial capital, not the Principality of Platinum!"

Earl Hughes categorically rejected His Majesty Platinum, the imperial capital is the imperial capital of the imperial capital nobles, the founding nobles represented by His Majesty Platinum, the influence of the upper nobles, and the imperial capital is not allowed, this is the consensus of all the imperial nobles!

Platinum Majesty Sadivan, this is to dig up the roots of all the nobles of the imperial capital!

"Don't be so excited, Earl Hughes, I believe that in this world, there is nothing other than a devout belief in the sacred sea god that is not negotiable!"

Zhou Mo raised a finger and said:

"Everything has its price, and nothing is impossible in this world. ”

"Ms. Hughes, if the Hughes family doesn't do this thing, there will always be so many nobles in the noble department, there will always be people who want to do it, and for me, no matter who does it, it will not matter, Ms. Hughes, are you sure you want to give up on me, Platinum King Sadivan's friendship with the Hughes family?

Zhou Mo was like a demon, whispering, trying his best to seduce the female nobles in front of him.

Ms. Hughes wants to reject His Majesty Platinum again cleanly, in order to show her loyalty to the nobles of the imperial capital and her determination to refuse this matter!

But His Majesty wanted to be able to see people's hearts, and before she could read it, he interrupted and said:

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Ms. Hughes, you already know the purpose of me, His Majesty Platinum Sadivan, and also understand what I want, you need to think about it, after rejecting me at this moment, you have become an enemy of the Principality of Platinum, can you bear the corresponding danger!"

Ms. Hughes's pupils constricted instantly, yes, she knew the secret that Platinum would never allow the nobles of the imperial capital to know, if she didn't agree, then, what would be waiting for her?

The man in front of him, Platinum King Sadivan, killed His Majesty Platinum, who was twenty-six high-ranking nobles on the way to the imperial capital, and let her disappear into this world from the next moment, which is not difficult for this man!

This made the Hughes woman unable to open her mouth again if she had thought of refusing, and she understood that after His Majesty Platinum had stated his purpose, she had no choice.

Taking a deep breath, Ms. Hughes whispered:

"Your Majesty Platinum, expressing such an impolite threat to a lady should not be something you should do in nobility!"

When Zhou Mo heard this, he smiled happily, knowing that the woman in front of him had already compromised halfway.

"Ms. Hughes, my Ms. Hughes, you are innocent and cute!"

Sadivan uttered such a sentence in an aria that made Earl Hughes laugh bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you should understand that without enough chips, I can't touch my friends, and I can't ruin the future of the entire Hughes family because of my personal safety. ”

This is Earl Hughes asking for a price, and since he has no other choice, he naturally wants to sell it for a good price.

"Rest assured, Ms. Hughes, this king will not treat anyone of his own wrong. ”

"You find someone who is about the same to participate in the knight competition, and I'll do the rest!"

Ms. Hughes immediately voiced her request:

"I hope that the Hughes family's territory will not be violated and that they will get their share of the trade of the Platinum City!"

"And, within the Imperial Capital, I need the protection of you or Her Majesty the Empress!"

Zhou Mo did not hesitate, and immediately replied:

"No problem, when I get what I want, you will definitely get what you want, promise in the name of platinum!"

After hearing the promise made by His Majesty Platinum in the name of platinum, Ms. Hughes slumped on the back of her chair, looked at Sadivan with a weak face, and said:

"I was poured something by those people to take this errand in a daze!"

Haha laughed, Zhou Mo got up, left the reception room, and after a few breaths, appeared in front of Earl Hughes with a list:

"You only need to submit this list as a proposal, and ensure that it is not suppressed by others, and can go to the aristocratic adjudication meeting, and then someone will naturally do it!"

"After you go back, don't say anything, just say that the king refuses, and no one will doubt you. ”

Ms. Hughes did not take the list immediately, but asked with some hesitation:

"Although at this time, I shouldn't ask again, but there are some things that I don't understand, I can't sleep well, I don't know if Your Majesty Platinum can take pity on the woman's precious sleep time and tell me one or two?"

Zhou Mo sat down again, and did not say whether it was okay or not, but said:

"I know what you want to ask, but after you read this list, you will naturally have the answer to what you want to ask!"

Ms. Hughes took the list at this time, and after glancing at the names on it, her expression was relieved, and then she looked at His Majesty Platinum with some strange eyes, and said:

"Your Majesty's Praetorian Guard, the secret agent of the court, as long as this list is sent to the Ministry of Nobles, it will be passed directly, we, no, they will not have the eyesight to refute this list!"

The names on the list are all marginal heirs among the twenty-six nobles who have served the empress directly and bear the empress's brand.

"What you get because of other people's concessions is not as reliable as what you have taken after all, especially for the empress!"

Zhou Mo regained the majesty of His Majesty Platinum, and glanced at Ms. Hughes, who was as high as a god.
