Chapter 595: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars

After the first day of siege battles, the strong attack capabilities displayed by the coalition forces of all sides directly smashed the strategy of the royal capital side trying to resist stubbornly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Moreover, during this period, there were many arson incidents in the royal capital, and more than a dozen officials were assassinated at home at the same time, and people were panicked for a while.

Even the magic guide cannon that Wang Du did not hesitate to equip with money could not be activated because the control center was artificially destroyed, and it was completely reduced to an ornament.

This series of clues all point to someone making waves in the royal capital and deliberately creating incidents, and the royal capital still has severe internal worries in addition to external troubles!

"Now it's okay if the city is in chaos, and it's okay if a large number of assassins appear, but who told me what's going on with the city wall?"

At the Imperial Council of the Lionheart, the ministers went berserk in public, and all other events were expected by them, and it was difficult to keep the enemy Assassins in the city.

They also formulated effective measures to prevent this, and the important ministers involved in the key departments sent guards to protect them from beheading.

But the walls crumbled so quickly beyond their expectations, and who would have thought that the walls would be filled with so much inferior filling?

"It has been investigated that after the end of the civil war more than a year ago, the city wall was seriously damaged, so His Majesty issued an order for the Ministry of Finance to allocate a budget for the repair of the city wall, but at that time the financial budget was seriously insufficient, and the existing funds could not repair the city wall at all. ”

When the minister began to read the document in front of many ministers, informing him of the ins and outs of the matter, his expression was very nervous and unnatural.

"Did you finish the fix despite the lack of funding? So the problem is either the funding, or the repair?"

Someone keenly captures this, everyone understands the truth that you get what you pay for, since the budget is not enough, the quality may not dare to compliment.

"No, it's not that the funds are insufficient, but because the funds are very sufficient, although the Ministry of Finance can't come up with too much money because of the serious consumption of the war treasury, but at this time the Miranda Chamber of Commerce has taken the initiative to provide a lot of funds and is willing to help us repair the city wall. ”

The clerk shook his head, trembling at the gaze of so many ministers, lest he should be punished for saying the wrong word.

"Miranda Chamber of Commerce? This is the old Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital, one of the three largest chambers of commerce, and we have been doing business for a long time, I remember that they donated a lot of money during the civil war, if they were in charge of the maintenance of the city wall, no one should raise any objections. ”

A minister who was quite close to the Miranda Chamber of Commerce frowned, and the reputation of the Miranda Chamber of Commerce was praised by everyone in the royal capital.

Moreover, during the Civil War, the Miranda Chamber of Commerce lent millions of silver coins to the empire, not counting the large amount of money given to the court.

At that time, many people said that the Miranda Chamber of Commerce was really courageous, calculating that their family had a big business, and it was possible to break their muscles and bones by taking out millions of silver coins in one go.

After all, the state of war is no more than anything else, and there are many restrictions on all sides, and their way of doing so is also seen as a show of goodwill to Rhaegar.

"In other words, the Miranda family is responsible for the maintenance of the city wall? Now there is a problem with the city wall, which means that ...... Damn, did Miranda bastards do it? They dare to make this kind of money? Send someone to arrest them all at once, and send them all to the gallows!"

The ministers chewed carefully, and after realizing that the problem was in the Miranda Chamber of Commerce, they couldn't help but be furious.

"They don't even care about millions of silver coins, do you really think they want to make this money from stealing from pillars? And during the civil war, several other big chambers of commerce were hit hard and died down, but they were active and well-funded, which became more and more suspicious. ”

"Yes, at that time, I thought that they were determined to support His Majesty Rhaegar, so they did not hesitate to contribute all the wealth accumulated by the Chamber of Commerce for several generations, so I didn't doubt them, but now that I think about it, there are indeed too many doubts, if anyone can come up with so much cash......"

"Only that Far East has such financial resources, right? That is to say, the Miranda family has long been connected with the Far East? At what point? Damn, they deliberately used shoddy in the process of repairing the city wall, and bought off the inspector, for today? The intentions are too sinister!"

"You must not let go of the people of the Miranda family, you have to make them pay for it, the walls of the dignified royal capital were actually bought and collapsed with money, this is simply an out-and-out shame in the history of the empire, Lin Ye, that bastard, at that time, began to focus on the royal capital?"

The ministers were all furious, and they had already been calculated at such an early time, but they were all unaware of it.

By the time he came back to his senses, the royal capital was already on the verge of collapse, which was too unacceptable to accept, and he fell into an unprecedented crisis!

"There is no need to send someone to arrest them, the people of the Miranda Chamber of Commerce have already secretly escaped from the royal capital, and it is obvious that they have made a major decision to abandon their foundation in the royal capital and defect to the Far East of emerging economies...... I really can't hold it!"

Someone came to a conclusion that everyone knew, but did not dare to say, and the ministers looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"Is the foundation of His Majesty Raymond's hard work going to be ruined like this......? That's fine, but if someone else ......."

"It's not too early, everyone should disperse back, now that the assassins are rampant in the royal capital, and someone is making trouble in the dark, you must be careful. ”

"If it does happen...... Alas, colleagues, let's plan as soon as possible, time is running out. ”

In a state of frustration, the ministers slowly left their seats, and no matter how you look at it, the empire is already in turmoil.

This time is much worse than the civil war situation three years ago, if that time was to make the entire empire break the bones, then this time, it is definitely to completely destroy the empire that is hanging on its last breath, everyone has a hunch, that moment will come soon!

In the secret prison, Assassins rushed in, and the jailer shivered when he saw his companions fall one by one.

"He used to be my subordinate, let him go, your presence here means that the empire has reached the end of its rope?"

Solo closed the book, he looked at the group of men in black who had broken into the prison to save him, and he sighed faintly.

"I still remember the debate you had with me when you left three years ago, I tried to save this country, but in vain, and sure enough, you are right, you are already terminally ill, unless you tear down and rebuild, there is no way to cure it?"

Solo slowly stood up, he had been here long enough, had been imprisoned long enough, and now it was time to get out.
