Chapter 106: Rough Move
Forcing the neutrals to take sides, such a thing is not done by Prince Fabio alone, but also by Prince Heinsses and the royal family.
The next day, Mitheus welcomed representatives of Prince Heinsea, as well as representatives of the royal family. He didn't want to be involved in the struggle of the three aristocratic camps, so he politely declined everyone's invitation.
Unbeknownst to him, he had actually offended the three major aristocratic groups at the same time.
Don't think that if you leave the imperial capital, you don't have to stand in line. In this country ruled by the aristocracy, even if you go to the poor countryside, you must stand in line, and no one can escape. It will be a struggle that will ripple through the entire empire, from the imperial capital to the countryside.
January passed quietly, the entire imperial capital became more and more calm, and those active nobles were honest. The commoners were not very satisfied with this, they were not accustomed to the squabbles of the nobles, they had long since developed a hobby of watching the nobles fight to the death, and they liked to watch the people who were high up fight together like ruffians. There was no aristocratic manners, no civility and courtesy, only savage battles.
Two days before the first day of February, Mitheus had already written his resignation and had applied to be transferred to teach at a college in a remote area.
But before he could wait for the tenth day, Rosie came to the door again.
This time it was not him alone, but a whole squadron of soldiers.
The alarmed Mitheus ran out in disheveled clothes, and he stared at Rossi's face, "What are you going to do? This is the mansion of the nobles! This is not the residence of the commoners, you have no right to mess around!"
Rosie shrugged his shoulders, and two people stood out from the crowd behind him, their faces bowed, their faces full of embarrassment and shame. Mitheus was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, and then a feeling of suffocation instantly spread throughout his body.
The worst thing happened, he knew these two people, they were both well-known wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital. The way they got to know Mitheus was also very simple, that is, to spend money to buy a spot.
The Imperial Capital College is like another university in the world, and it is also the leading college in the Tuhrman Empire, and the people who can enter the academy are elites from all walks of life. According to some statistics, more than 10% of the students who can graduate from colleges and universities are finally canonized as nobles. This is a shocking percentage, but it is understandable, because they tend to occupy some of the more important positions, and then they are taken under the command of the three major noble groups, and the leaders of the noble groups canonize the status of nobility.
Therefore, many people want to send their children to the Imperial Higher Academy for further study, even if it costs tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of gold coins for this. It's like an investment, what if your own children succeed?
Moreover, even if his child does not succeed in the end, the connections he makes in colleges and universities will be more beneficial to his future development. Think about how bright his future would be when his classmates were all nobles or officials of the imperial state organs.
Both of them had sent money to Mitheus, and the amount was not small.
One gave 100,000 gold coins, and the other sent 150,000 gold coins, and Mitheus did write a letter of recommendation for this, so that two students who were not enough to enter the Imperial Capital College successfully enrolled.
Mitheus's sweat came out all of a sudden, he raised his hand to wipe the delicate beads of sweat on his face, and said astringently, "I think I can explain." ”
Rosie grinned, "I don't think you can explain it." Count Mitheus, your fiefdom and salary are enough to make your life very good, but you are not satisfied. In order to obtain more personal interests, he betrayed the collective interests of the Imperial Capital Higher Academy, and let some black sheep and people with ulterior motives enter the Imperial Capital Higher Academy through monetary transactions, which had a very bad negative impact on the college. You ignore the interests of the country for your personal benefit, I can ask you to explain, but do you explain it properly?"
Rossi pointed to the wealthy merchant who was close to him behind him, "This is a spy planted by the Republic to the people of the empire, and his task is to collect outstanding young people in the country, and carry out acts such as wooing, buying, and assassinating. The evidence is conclusive, and the Imperial Court has already made a verdict. He pointed to another person, "It's really a spy from the Federation, his mission is similar to the previous gentleman, and he doesn't do anything good anyway." Do you think, Count Mitheus, that your explanation can erase the anger of the people? For the sake of money, you have disregarded the interests of the Empire, and I only declare you arrested on behalf of the Imperial Court!"
"Take it, don't miss a single person, don't hurt Count Mitheus. Rosie waved his hand, and the wolf-like soldiers barged into Mitheus's mansion unreasonably, and arrested the sleeping or working people in his house, and gathered them in the clearing.
Mitheus shouted angrily, "You can't do this, the judgment of the nobles must be submitted to the Council of Elders, and you have no right to go beyond the elders to do something to the nobles! This is not in order! I want to go to see Your Majesty?!"
Rosie looked at him in surprise, "It is said that your wisdom is the most profound in the imperial capital, but I didn't expect you to be mentally handicapped like a child at this time." Do you think I'm here to keep you going?", he strode toward Mitheus's mansion, saying as he went, "Count Mitheus and the others have been sent out of the city, and all his ill-gotten gains have been confiscated. "By the way, I heard that Count Mitheus likes to collect?"
At this time, his faithful dog-legged Hano finally had a chance to speak, "Master Rossi, I heard that this old ghost has built a treasure room and has collected many peerless treasures!"
Mitheus looked at the group of people with a frightened expression, and he finally understood at this time that even if he really saw His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor would not say a word for him. The reason is simple, because he did not take sides, and now the three major aristocratic groups have begun to clear the field. People like him who don't have a camp are on the list of those who have been cleared. It's just that he didn't expect that the struggle between the three aristocratic groups had intensified to such an extent, and there was even a common tacit understanding.
His face was covered with a gray of despair, he looked at his wife and daughter, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Your Excellency Viscount Rossi, please spare my wife and daughter, I am willing to give everything I have...... , I confess my sins. ”
Rossi turned to look at him, "There are a bunch of monkeys who like to do harmless things, and although they are not serious, they can be upset. There was a clever man who came up with a solution, he found a chicken, and killed it in front of the monkey, and guess what happened to the monkey?"
Needless to say, the monkey must have been honest. It's not because of the dead chicken that makes them honest, it's because of their own lives.
So the chicken must die.
And Mitheus is the chicken elected by the aristocratic group.
Missis has a high prestige among the Neutrals, and his position as Director of the Imperial Library is significant enough. But he is not particularly important, or particularly prestigious, and has no backers behind him, let alone a hereditary nobleman. Cutting him is enough to deter the neutrals who are still wavering.
"You can't do this! You don't have the right to do this!", Mitheus struggled, realizing his future fate, and fiercely protested, "You don't have the right to violate the noble laws of the Empire, you won't end well if you do this!I want to see Prince Fabio! I want to talk to him face to face!"
Hanno smirked and kicked him in the stomach, so force that the soldier holding him could not hold his hand away, allowing him to fall to the ground and curl up.
Rosie glanced at him, took off his gloves, and threw them to Hano, "Prince Fabio has a lot of things, and I don't have time to see a little person like you, so you still want to think about if there is anything that can save your little life, such as some crimes committed by your accomplices and some people you know." Whistleblowing is the most important thing you should consider......"
With that, he walked into Mitheus's mansion without looking back, and Hano found the butler in the crowd, and followed him as quickly as he was holding a puppy. As Mitheus's butler, he must have been particularly familiar with the situation in Mitheus's house, such as the collection room.
After all, Mitheus was a refined intellectual, and his collection was more of a collection of historical artifacts than the powerful gold and silver treasures of the nouveau riche. Under the courtier's courteous leadership, Rossi found Mitheus' collection room.
The collection room was full of collections, which was Mitheus's only hobby, or rather, he turned his ambition for official positions and titles into a mania for collecting.
Antiques with special significance were carefully treasured, and at this time they were all cheaper than Rosie.
After choosing a few of the best things to pack and give to Prince Fabio, Rossi unexpectedly found a beautiful little box. The box uses a very special structure, similar to a Rubik's cube, with many building components, and the box can only be opened if the builds are pushed in the correct order. The box itself alone is worth a lot of money.
"What's in there?", Rosie asked the butler.
The butler immediately replied, "It's a lucky coin." ”
Rosie nodded, and the butler wanted to open it with gracious help, but Rosie said to Hano: "Smash it open!"
