Mawi has a lot of hole cards.

One of them is the Royal Navy.

If the Prince, who was unaware of this, mobilized both the Royal Navy and the London Army at the same time, defeat was inevitable.

Although the Royal Navy is a navy, its combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the army, of course, the army responsible for defending London is elite, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose, but if you engage in a sneak attack

The army will definitely suffer a dumb loss!

The eldest prince's control of the actions of the third prince did Ma Wei a great favor, if Ma Wei wanted to start a revolution, the Royal Navy had to break through the defense line set by the army, but if he could take this opportunity to replace the army defending London with the Royal Navy

But you can avoid big trouble!

"It's basically right, but it's still missing."

"Which point?"

"Today's Royal Navy is not Toure's word."

Ma Wei said calmly: "Prime Minister, Winston Churchill is the Secretary of the Admiralty, Toure's father, and the old Duke Crowley is the First Sea Lord, although these two positions sound similar, they are actually far apart. ”

"The First Sea Lord is the highest position in a career navy, and the Lord of the Sea is a civilian appointed by the king, usually a member of the cabinet."

"Although the First Sea Lord is the most senior officer in the Navy Headquarters, he must be restrained by the Lord of the Sea, and simply put, the more than 100 survivors of the St. Martiel's fleet back then, even with the help of Toure, could not control the entire Royal Navy."

Fat Orange frowned, it was not very clear about the division of duties in the human kingdom: "The Crowley family, not only married to the eldest prince, but also a member of the Conservative Party?" ”

"The Crowleys are very old ducal families, and of course they are Conservatives."

"You trust Toure Crowley so much?"

"The bullet that hit him was originally aimed at me." Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "I believe in him, just like Yunia and Felix believe in me." ”

"Even if Toure Crowley doesn't betray you, won't the other sailors betray you?"

Fat Orange said: "Now is the critical moment, you must be cautious, if the eldest prince discovers the plan, it is likely to cause irreparable consequences." ”

"I understand that I haven't been in touch with them all these years and some of them should be shaken, but I believe they will make the right choice."

"It's not like your style of doing things without taking precautions. Forget it, I'll spy on them for you. ”

After a pause, Ma Wei did not stop Fat Orange, as Fat Orange said, he was willing to believe, but his hope could not be pinned on others.

"At present, Toure and they cannot fully control the Royal Navy, but after the coup d'état of the eldest prince, the second prince will definitely reuse them, and at that time, Toure and they will be able to quickly eliminate dissidents, install cronies, and firmly control the navy in the shortest possible time."

"If they don't have control of the Royal Navy, wouldn't it be dangerous to act?"

"How could it be that there were so many people in the Royal Navy, all of them could be transferred to London? Toure was a relative of the Grand Prince, who trusted the Crowley family as long as the part of the navy controlled by Toure came to London. ”

Ma Wei said: "Send the cat to keep an eye on the third prince, and the London Army will definitely make some moves in the near future." ”

"Hmm."

The next day, Mavi secretly went to the Crowley family, found Toure, and told his guess.

Hearing that the eldest prince was likely to carry out a coup d'état after losing the election, Toure's eyes lit up suddenly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

At this moment, a full five years have passed since the Battle of Perea!

He also prepared for five years!

"Don't let your father know at this time." "Your father is old-fashioned, and he won't agree to a coup d'état," Mavi reminded. ”

"Any movement of the Royal Navy, it has to go through him." Toure said seriously: "But I will fool the past and mobilize all the men who can be trusted, and inform Joshua of them?" ”

"Joshua, has he been promoted to major general?"

"It was awarded last month, Rear Admiral of the Royal Navy, just one level below me."

Toure laughed, "He's the best mix of our people." ”

"If you can notify, you have to inform, this is not a small operation, we need as many people as possible to help, the problem is"

Ma Wei licked his lips: "Our group of people, are they still as sincere as they were five years ago?" ”

Toure bowed his head and said: "In the near future, I will hold a party and send them invitations, and if they are willing to come, I believe that they are still sincere and do not want to come."

"Let them go." "They all have families, have children, and live a stable life, and maybe they have long been downplayed, and we shouldn't kidnap them with the hatred of the past," Ma Wei said. ”

"That's right."

Toure sighed, his expression became firm again: "The task of the naval headquarters and the organization of the Royal Navy has been entrusted to me, and when it is ready, I will send someone to inform you." ”

"Okay."

Leaving Crowley's house, Mavi returned to the grocery store, packed up and was just about to go out, when the second prince came.

The second prince, who hadn't come to the grocery store for a long time, suddenly came to the door, which surprised Ma Wei, and when he asked, he realized that the second prince was here for the eldest prince.

"I can't make up my mind, Nicholas."

The second prince paced back and forth in the grocery store with his hands behind his back and said, "Should I report Charles to the church?" It was he who sent someone to poison the king, and the report will definitely be successful! ”

"Your Highness, you are here for this. Haven't slept all night? ”

Looking at the two dark circles under the second prince's eyes, Ma Wei couldn't cry or laugh.

Reporting the eldest prince to the church is indeed a clever move, but the key is the source of the soul elixir.

The soul elixir in the eldest prince's hand was obtained through the Manstein Potions Company, that is to say, if the second prince reported the eldest prince, in the end, the eldest prince would definitely bite back, and he would bite either the second prince or himself.

Of course Ma Wei will be fine, he is too important to the church, and the key is the second prince.

Ma Wei, who belongs to the second prince's camp, helped the eldest prince get the soul elixir, does the second prince know?

How will it be explained then?

I can't explain it at all!

Just as Ma Wei was telling the second prince about the stakes, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps on the street, the sound of hard-soled leather boots.

The police surrounded the grocery store, but their target was not Ma Wei, but the second prince!

"What are you doing!"

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the murderer who poisoned the king has been caught, and she has identified you as the mastermind behind it."

"What?!"

The second prince's face changed suddenly: "How could it be me!" That's impossible! You must be mistaken! ”

"Come with us, Archbishop Liviu is waiting for you at the palace."

Several policemen stepped forward and 'politely' invited the second prince to sit in the carriage, and the second prince turned around step by step, looking at Ma Wei's eyes full of horror.

Mavi raised his foot to follow, but was stopped by a policeman: "Mr. Nicholas, you have every chance, don't go." ”

Stared at by the cold gaze, the policeman only felt the hairs on his back, and hurriedly explained: "This is what Archbishop Liviu meant, you and His Royal Highness the Second Prince are too close to each other to participate in this matter, and Archbishop Liviu also believes that you are innocent." ”

"Innocence?"

Ma Wei sneered: "I don't think I'm innocent, so how can Archbishop Liviu define my innocence?" Move! ”

"Yes."

Taking Yunia with him, Mavi drove to the palace, which was already full of people, Sherlock Holmes, the Grand Prince, the Archbishop of Liviu, Archbishop Brandon, cabinet members, and nobles

Countless eyes shot at them, with different expressions.

A maid stood in the middle of the crowd, shivering, and Mavi had seen her and knew that she was the servant in charge of the diet of Rhodes IV.

"Stacy! It's you! ”

When the second prince saw the maid, his eyes widened: "You poisoned your father?!" ”

The maid glanced at the second prince, lowered her head nervously, and twisted her fingers together.

"Your Highness, according to Mr. Holmes's investigation, the poisoner is Stacy."

Archbishop of Liviu came with an empty glass bottle: "Isn't it you, ordering Stacey to put the soul potion in the king's meal?" ”

"Nope! No! Not me! The second prince shouted, "It's Charles!" It was Charles's instructions! It's not about me! ”

"Huh"

The eldest prince grinned and said disdainfully: "When you framed me, can you explain some logic?" How could I possibly get such a precious potion as a soul elixir? Looking at the kingdom of Windsor, only the Manstein Potions Company was able to buy the soul potion from the Witch God Cult! Who doesn't know that Nicholas and you are the closest? ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around nodded their heads one after another, and as they all talked, Archbishop Liviu snorted coldly, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

"Whether the soul potion was purchased by Manstein Potions Company or not still needs to be considered in the long run, and there is no evidence, why frame Nicholas!"

After speaking, Archbishop Liviu looked at Stacey and asked face to face: "Is it you who was instructed by the second prince?" ”

Stacy's body shook, and in the second prince's incredulous gaze, nodded.

"You're lying! You lie! ”

The second prince blew up his hair, and wanted to rush forward but was stopped by the guards, and roared hoarsely: "It's Charles who has given you some benefits!" I'll give you twice as much. No! Ten times over! ”

"If poisoning is a fact, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you will be judged by the church for heresy."

The Archbishop of Liviu laughed in a bellows-like voice, "Poisoning the king is a serious crime."

"Archbishop Brandon! Save me! ”

The frightened second prince looked at Archbishop Brandon on the side: "It's not me! I didn't do it! ”

Archbishop Brandon opened his mouth, intent to stop him, but in the end he didn't say anything, and flinched from the cold gaze of Archbishop Liviu.

Poisoning the king hurts the interests of the church, even if Rhodes IV is not good, he is also the king appointed by the church, the monarchy is divinely granted, God has agreed, and you still run to poison him, isn't it heresy?

Cabinet, aristocracy. No one was willing to excuse the second prince, and Baron Frederick remained silent, and there was nothing he could do.

Just as the guards grabbed the second prince and were about to take him away, a voice suddenly sounded in the silent hall:

"Wait!"

The second prince, who was already desperate, raised his head as if grasping a life-saving straw and looked at Ma Wei: "Nicholas! ”

Ma Wei smiled at the second prince and was about to speak, but Archbishop Liviu took the lead and said: "If you have anything to say, wait until you return to St. Paul's Cathedral, the Pope will allow you to participate in the second prince's heresy trial." ”

"No, I have to speak now."

Shaking his head, Ma Wei walked up to Stacy and asked softly, "Your name is Stacy?" ”

"Yes."

"You said the second prince instructed you to poison the king's food?"

"Yes."

"What kind of poison did you give?"

"Soul Elixir."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Second Prince."

"Oh"

Mavi turned around and took the glass bottle from Archbishop Liviu's hand: "Is the soul elixir in this bottle?" ”

Stacy stared at the bottle for a moment, confirming that she had just taken it out, "Hmm." ”

"In other words, the second prince handed you the glass bottle containing the soul elixir and asked you to poison the king's meal, is that so?"

"Yes."

Listening to Mavi's interrogation, Archbishop Liviu couldn't help it: "Nicholas, don't say any more, we will investigate again"

"No!"

Mavi held the bottle high for everyone to see, and finally handed it to Archbishop Liviu: "Archbishop Liviu, please take the remnants of the bottle to be tested to see if this bottle contains a soul potion." ”

"What?" The eldest prince subconsciously asked, "Isn't this bottle filled with soul elixir?" ”

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet."

Ma Wei glanced at the eldest prince with a smile: "Yes or no, take it and check it." ”

Although he did not understand what trick Mavi was playing, seeing his sworn appearance, the Archbishop of Liviu still ordered the bottle to be taken for examination, and during this time, everyone stayed in the palace, and no one was allowed to leave.

In the evening, the test results came in.

The Archbishop of Liviu first read the report himself, and then revealed the contents with a surprised expression: "The bottle is filled with sugar water. It's not a soul potion."

"Huh?!"

The eldest prince and the second prince exclaimed at the same time, one surprise, one frightened.

"Everyone, if the bottle is not filled with soul elixir, how can the second prince poison the king?"

Ma Wei asked loudly, "There is only one answer, Stacy is lying!" ”

"No, no, no, no, me. I took the wrong one."

Stacy denied it repeatedly, and just after a few quibbles, Ma Wei asked, "Can you take out the bottle of soul elixir?" ”

"I, I. I washed the bottle! Right! I'm destroying the evidence! Stacy said on the spot.

"So there's not enough evidence."

Ma Wei shrugged his shoulders, "Without evidence, can it be concluded that the second prince was poisoned based on Stacy's words alone?" Can I say that it was the Great Prince who poisoned it? ”

"That's it!" Archbishop Liviu frowned, raised his hand and said, "Let the second prince go." ”

"If it's okay, the second prince and I will leave first."

Bowing slightly, Ma Wei helped the second prince who had survived the catastrophe out of the hall, and behind him, Holmes, who was smoking a pipe, fell into deep thought, as well as a group of suspicious nobles.

"Nicholas! How did you do it! ”

Leaving the palace, the second prince, who got into the carriage, couldn't wait to ask, "How did you drop the glass bottle in front of everyone?" Did you arrange the inspection agency? ”

"No, Your Highness, I didn't drop the glass bottle, and I didn't arrange someone at the inspection agency."

"What about you."

"From the beginning, there was no soul elixir in the bottle I gave to the eldest prince."

"But my father is indeed poisoned! Stacy's own poison! How could Holmes not find out! ”

"Stacy thought she had poisoned, but in fact all she poured into the meal was sugar water, and from beginning to end, she believed that she was the real murderer of the poison, and Sherlock Holmes caught the murderer, but"

Ma Wei said with a smile:

"In addition to Stacey, there is another poisoner."
