Chapter Forty-Six: Rogge's Scheming
Coming to the living room, Rogge sat on a chaise longue covered with fine fur, took a sip of black tea, picked up a piece of paper full of words written on the side, and smiled at Owen:
"The officials of Dale County are roughly divided into five categories, city defense, law and order, finance, courts, and administration!"
"The court is completely useless, and the people inside are just eating and waiting for death, useless!"
"As for public security, it has just been taken back, but compared with the city defense, under normal circumstances, it is of little use, but now it seems that Charles has done a good job, he is a talent!"
"In the imperial political system, finances have always been dominated by taxes, and for seven years, it seems that you are in charge, but everyone understands that the taxes of Dale County are all water, and it can be said that they are basically no longer in your hands..."
"In addition to the three logistics chiefs of the security army, ten guard captains, one soldier commander, and seventy-two tax collectors in your hands, there are two hundred and sixty-three officials left in Dale County!"
"Judging from the materials you have gathered, all the officials who have power in their hands have something to do with the baron..."
"You know better than I do that these officials have usurped the power of the Viscount, so much so that for seven years the Viscount's Mansion lived on a meagre tax revenue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Rogge picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea and continued: "Maybe unintentionally..."
"My words, the enraged Lord Viscount, you waved your hand and killed more than 20 people, the rest of the people are not stupid, knowing that Lord Viscount and Lord Baron will fight one day, your actions make them feel that Lord Viscount is going to do something, all they put away their minds and honestly squat on the sidelines and watch!"
"It turns out that Lord Viscount didn't think so, and that stupid baron didn't think about it either!" Rogge shook his head and smiled: "It's no coincidence that the book is not written, Luo Ji's actions fell in your eyes!"
"Since the death of Old Man Dia...", Rogge's eyes flashed with coldness: "I am determined to kill Buck, and when I know that the villains in Dale County are so rampant, I am ready to make a big operation!"
"But this big operation, without the name of the viscount, is very difficult to carry out, so..."
"So you're trying to get the attention of Lord Viscount!" Hearing this, Owen took a deep breath and looked at Rogge with extremely complicated eyes: "You planned to move Walter from the beginning?!"
"That's right!" a smile appeared on the corner of Rogge's mouth: "From the moment I encouraged Charles to arrest the villains, this plan has already begun, and the materials you have collected are also expected by me!"
"Just imagine, how can a viscount not be prepared when he is suppressed?!"
"But I was really surprised that your materials were so detailed, and in addition to that, there was also the heavy cavalry of the Viscount's Palace, and..."
"Hahaha~~~" Owen shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "There are times when you kid can't count!"
"I was going to take my time, but the materials you have gathered, and the current situation tell me that you can't be slow, you must be fast!" Rogge ignored Owen's ridicule and continued: "The first step of the plan is to crack down, mainly to sweep away the baron's eyeline!"
"And the second step!" Rogge picked up the list again: "That's the people on the list, one hundred and three, that's nearly half of the officials in Dale County!"
"These people are either extremely close to that baron, or they rely on the baron to do all kinds of evil in the background, and the rest of the people, with your previous warning and the deterrence of today's action, they can't even turn the waves, so they can only continue to wait and see in fear!"
"The second step is to pull out the baron's minions!"
"And the third step is the second phase of tonight's operation!" Speaking of this, Rogge raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The discipline of the city defense army is sloppy, and the military camp must not be guarded by so many people, and the city defense army that can be gathered should be among them!"
"More than 800 city defense troops, facing the 500 heavy cavalry that are fully armed and ready for battle, it is simply not enough to send them, and the three commanders of Dale County will react to this action!"
"But the city defense army that has just gathered, how can it be the opponent of the security army and Luo Ji who have been prepared for a long time and are several times the number of people, plus the heavy cavalry, these gathered city defense troops can only flee for their lives!"
"As soon as the army's heart is scattered, it will be difficult for the city defense army to reunite in order to form an effective combat force, and our casualties will be minimized, if my expectations are good, three thousand city defense troops, it would be good to be able to leave one-tenth of two!"
"Aren't you afraid that Walter will send troops?" Hearing this, Owen said the question in his heart.
"Send troops?!" Rogge shook his head and sneered: "After a person enjoys the glory and wealth, he will care more about his own life, and when he doesn't know anything about the outside, do you think that baron in fine clothes and fine food will release his own private army to save his life to rescue the city defense army!?"
"Then why not—" Owing clenched his fists and grimaced.
"No, no, no!" Rogge hurriedly shook his head: "This is not the time to join Walt!"
Rogge stood up and looked in the direction of the outside of the city: "Walter still has brains, most of the private soldiers in the Baron's Mansion are the elite of the city defense army outside the city, and since the Viscount came to Daleshire, this baron is more concerned about his residence..."
"Just look at this Viscount's Mansion, before the Viscount came, this was Walter's residence!"
"In the years after being kicked out, Walter built the Baron's Mansion like a fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and when attacking the Baron's Palace, the heavy cavalry had no room to play at all, and it would only increase casualties!"
"The most important thing!" Saying this, Rogge raised his hand and pointed: "Our biggest problem is the seven thousand well-trained city defense troops outside the city, and it is most important to retain our strength before we confront them!"
"But then, Walter's two thousand private soldiers—" Owen frowned, puzzled.
"Someone will help us out!" Rogge raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously.
"Who?!"
"Buck!"
Hearing this name, Owen's brows furrowed even tighter, he couldn't think of what a thug in Dale County could do, and there didn't seem to be anything about Buck in the plan discussed with Rogge?!
When they were about to ask, they saw the sound of horses' hooves outside, and when they went out, they saw a guard report from the court: "My lord, Pieru has entered the Viscount's Palace!"
"Okay!" Rogge clapped his hands and smiled: "How's the Viscount's Mansion going?"
"Surrounded by security forces and cavalry!" the guard continued.
"Lord Owen!" Rog squinted at Owen when he heard this, "It's time for us to meet the Baron..."
Along the way, Rogge and Owen did not take the car, but walked unhurriedly, Owen looked a little anxious, and asked on the side, "Shall we go like this?"
"Of course!" Rogge said slowly with his hands behind his back: "Go fast, the play of the Baron's Mansion will not be completed, isn't it in vain to waste our efforts?!"
"Are you so sure?" Owing's expression was still a little apprehensive.
"Sure, and quite sure!" Rogge raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth, and said with conviction: "The city defense army has been scattered, not eliminated, not to mention the fish that slipped through the net, the notoriety of the single city defense army for so many years has long been evil in the hearts of civilians!"
"If you want to really eliminate hidden dangers, whether it is the strength of the army or the fear of the people, you must start with the officers, and the officers should be headed by three commanders!"
"But with the baron here, even if you kill these three evil leaders, I don't think it's very useful, once everyone reacts, and at this time, it happens that seven thousand city defense troops are killed, I'm afraid, the baron's words can make these city defense troops resurrect!"
"The notoriety of the city defense army has been backlogged for a long time, I think at that time, someone will join, after all, they are oppressed by the villains and can't resist, so they simply join the ranks of the villains, in order to protect themselves, there are more things, this is the human heart!"
"So you're going to cut off this path of people's hearts?!" The more Owen listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became, Rogge's words seemed straightforward, but they contained truth, and the longer he came into contact with Roger, for some reason, Owen could always give birth to an inexplicable fear.
It's not Rogge's scheming that is so scared, but that the kid in front of him can always easily see through people's hearts, how many people can see through people's hearts in this world?!
And these people are all powerful figures in the empire, and the most important thing is that this is still a child, this is the horror and horror, at this time, Owen can conclude that this huge empire must have a place for the child in front of him!
"That's right, it's going to cut off this road!" Rogge naturally didn't know what Owen was thinking, and continued: "Pieru, Morgan, and Rouen actually belong to three types of people!"
"Oh?!" Hearing this, Owen wondered, "What three types of people!"
"The three of them can be the commanders of the army, and it is needless to say that they are loyal to Walter, according to the intelligence, Pieru does not seem to have any other bad habits except for lust and greed for money, compared with the other two, I define him as an honest man!"
"Honest man?!" Owen thought with a slight frown.
"Yes, it's an honest person, doing his own job, relying on his own rights, doing something to bully men and women, in my opinion, it is the most normal!
"Why is that?!" Owen became, confused the more he listened.
"Think about it, are those poor people honest people, haven't you seen the scene outside the field that day?!" As he spoke, Rogge looked at Owen with a sinking face, obviously unhappy with Owen's investigation of his own affairs.
"Ahem... Routine, routine..."Owen smiled brightly when he saw this, and quickly changed the topic: "The events of that day, now I am also shocked to think about it, is this the reason why you let Pieru go?!"
"That's right.." Rogge secretly despised Owen, and continued: "The honest man was driven crazy, but what did he do, you said, we killed his whole family, and after telling him that Rouen also had a part in this, what would Pieru do when he entered the Baron's Palace and saw Rouen?"
"That's going to be crazy, but—" Owen nodded, then frowned and asked, "But it should be hard for others to believe..."
"That's right, other people naturally don't believe Pieru's words..."Rogge said here, squinting and smiling: "But someone will believe it!"
"Who!"
"Morgan!"
"Morgan?!" Owen asked, confused, "why!"
"You forgot, we've passed down the order!" Rogge reminded, "Our order is that Morgan and the Viscount conspire to eradicate Pieru and Rouen!"
Seeing Owen's still puzzled expression, Rogge continued to explain: "As I said just now, they are three types of people, Pieru is an honest person, and Morgan is a treacherous person!"
"Why do you say that?" said Owen with an interested expression.
"A person whose sexual orientation is different from ordinary people has either been stimulated by something, or he is perverted in his heart, no matter which one he is, the degree of darkness in his heart is not comparable to others!"
"And after my analysis of the intelligence matter, I can conclude that this person is treacherous and cunning, and he is cautious in his work.
"Self-preservation!"
"That's right, this kind of person will definitely protect himself!" Rogge continued: "The current situation in the Viscount's Mansion should be like this, the whole family was killed, and Pierru, who was forced to be in a hurry, after seeing Rouen, would definitely fight with Rouen with a knife!"
"At this time, Walter and Morgan will definitely come forward to stop it, and Pieru will point out that Rouen is a spy, and after some quarrels and analysis, everyone will definitely feel that something is wrong!"
"At this time, we will come to Charles to ask, and after showing his loyalty, Charles told the matter, and what we advertised outside the team was that Morgan conspired with the Viscount, but what we said to Pieru was that Rouen conspired with the Viscount!"
"The people will surely ask why, and then Malmain will appear with my forged letter!"
"Then everyone looks at Rouen's handwriting on it, and they will doubt Rouen, believe Charles's words, don't you?!" Owen suddenly realized when he heard this.
"No!" Rogge shook his head: "The first to discover the problem was definitely the cautious and cunning Morgan, and the letter I sent not only had Rouen's handwriting, but also several imitations of Morgan."
"The matter involves himself, and it is in front of the baron, Morgan will definitely protect himself and put the whole matter on Rouen!"
"What kind of person is Rouen? Rouen is a vicious and vicious person, who likes to use children's blood with wine, this kind of person is a complete pervert, an honest person corrects, a treacherous person instigates, what do you say will happen to this vicious person?"
"It's going to kill!" Owen gasped and looked at Rogge, a hint of fear in his heart.
"Yes, they will definitely kill people, and who will kill first?" Rogge sneered with his hands behind his back: "It's a cronie! People like him are the most suspicious, and we didn't attack their cronies when we acted tonight!"
"Rouen, who has long been suspicious, will definitely kill all those cronies at this time with the mentality of killing a thousand rather than letting go of one!"
"What do you think the suspicious Baron will think of killing someone in the Baron's Palace? What does the honest man who has been forced to become irrational think? What does the treacherous man who wants to get rid of himself think?"
"I'm afraid there's a good show in the Baron's Palace!" Hearing this, Owen opened his mouth and glared, and said with a look of surprise and regret: "It's a pity that I can't see it!"
"When a person is suspicious, he always finds a lot of evidence that he thinks is right!" Rogge continued: "Why did Rouen escape so easily after a fight? Why did Rouen kill his cronies who did all kinds of evil?"
"In the face of everyone's vigilant gaze, what will a vicious person like Rouen think? What will he do? Obediently tie his hands and arrest him? Under the coercion of Pieru, Rouen will never do this, killing the crazy Pieru and then making a defense is the right reason!"
"In fact, it doesn't matter if Rouen doesn't move or not, after this incident, coupled with the confessions of the three people in the afternoon, the baron may find it difficult to believe these three people, and because of Rouen's indiscriminate killing, the city defense army has no military heart at all, and there are only three light commanders left!"
"The chief killed his subordinates in the Baron's Palace, once this matter comes out, who will be stupid to enter the city defense army again?!"
"What if... What if Rouen makes his move?!"
"Do it?!"
If you do it, the Baron's Mansion will be in chaos, Charles has a deep understanding at the moment, looking at the three people in the hall who fell in a pool of blood, Charles wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Just as Rogge expected, after Rouen killed his subordinates, he was coerced by Pieru, his vicious nature was exposed, and he raised his hand with a knife, and the Viscount's Mansion was in chaos in an instant!
However, what Rogge didn't guess was that this baron's ruthless methods, after knowing that the city defense army was finished, saw the three subordinates acting like this, and his heart became suspicious, seeing that everyone thought that it was a spy sent by the viscount, anyway, it was useless to keep it, so he simply had a heart, and killed all of them!
"Big... How could Charles not be afraid at this time, he lowered his head and whispered: "I should go out, the Viscount's cavalry has already surrounded the courtyard, and if you don't go out, you will... It's exposed!"
