In the face of the sudden sound, everyone was silent for a moment, and then the discussion became more enthusiastic.

"I've heard that France is now being attacked by England, and it's almost over, so that's why we came to support her to fight back and restore the country." The do-gooder who jumped into the field struck while the iron was hot: "But if you want me to say, the French have a grudge against our city, right?" ”

The voices of the crowd were a little quieter, but no one came out to object to the huge venue—although two hundred years have passed since the incident, it has had too much influence on Rome, and even on Rome in the religious sense. To this day, people are still very impressed.

"If you want me to say, we support the restoration of the country, and we don't need to support this barbarian state." The man raised his arms and appealed to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a better choice!" What better banner to rely on than the dynasty of Seris? ”

Now, many people are indeed excited. The audience, who was already idle, became interested. Even the gangsters and gang leaders who maintained order didn't think there was anything wrong with them, muttering to each other while curiously waiting for his explanation.

And in the VIP seat, Frajos keenly noticed that something was wrong.

"What is this man! Hurry up and get him to stop! When he heard this, he had already reacted a little, and hurriedly said to his subordinates.

"But what he said makes sense." The subordinates were not active, and someone replied directly: "Anyway, the princess is not there, it is better to see what he says." ”

"Yes, sir." Another person also reminded, "Don't forget our purpose." ”

"But...... Ah, it seems to be too......" Frajos thought for a moment and hesitated.

"Our plan is not to send someone to meet with Princess Jeanne and bring her here to show her face." The subordinate explained: "When she came, everyone created a momentum, set up the atmosphere, and then fooled them into fighting, smashing things, venting, even if they pulled up a new force - hasn't this been the case in the city of Rome since ancient times." ”

"Yes, I still remember that the master specially instructed that when the time comes, I will take them to the east of the city and smash the antique shop of the Makris's family first." The other nodded in agreement: "To be honest, I have already seen that fake antique dealer unpleasant......"

"In that case, whoever is under the banner is the same." The previous subordinates took the opportunity to persuade: "The main thing is to come early, so that we can arouse everyone's emotions, then we don't have to think about it so much, just come as planned." But now that Caspilos and they are not coming, we can't keep so many people waiting, unless—"

"Unless what?" Master Flahos hurriedly asked.

"Everyone is willing to fight directly after the end of the game, but wait for the follow-up activities, just because you and a few other masters have already made promises before." The subordinate pointed out: "If you pay a little more money and promise them two more days of playing, I think they will be happy to wait a little longer." ”

"That's a lot of money." Frajos muttered.

"If this happens, people will be grateful to you. It doesn't matter if Caspilos brings someone, because you're the one who directly organizes and mobilizes the citizens. The subordinate persuaded: "This kind of good opportunity, other merchants are afraid that they can't find it." ”

"Those troupes, please three days...... Oh no, two days, it's a thousand down. It also costs a lot of money to throw money at so many people. Adding it up, I'm afraid it's three or five thousand gold coins. Frajos hesitated: "I'm ...... now"

"You think about it the other way, if it happens, I don't know how high the profit will be." Everyone said: "Moreover, if you are not willing to pay for it again, everyone may follow Caspilos and them." ”

"Oh, you can rest assured." Flajos, who was struggling, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "These expenses have already hurt them a lot before. Want these guys to keep paying for it? Impossible! ”

"Then he ...... just now"

"Do you think it's necessary to pull so many people? Those guys are better than me. Master Frajos glanced at everyone and reprimanded with disdain: "It is obvious that Caspyros has a crooked mind, and wants to take advantage of being the host, to put on a posture first, and coerce the princess to obey his orders—not only does he not want to continue to pay for sponsorship, but he also wants to eat back the money he had before." That's why I was in a hurry to show some generosity and bribe all the people who were originally biased towards me. ”

"Everyone knows that the palace supports Princess Jeanne's activities in order to pull more people and help the southern expedition. With this title, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the southern expedition as a sponsor to make a lot of money. Frajos shrugged: "Otherwise, why would he put up such a big battle?" ”

"Then why didn't you stop him?" Someone asked.

"He can't succeed, can I get ahead?" Frajos shook his head: "I don't think he's the princess's opponent at all." This kind of thing has to be hard—but when they do, if they can outdo the Franks, they won't be where they are now. ”

"When the princess came to us, we invested a lot of money in this matter. There is a lot of expense just for this matter. He enumerates:

"We have to pay for the night watchmen to release all the gang members who were caught in the previous day for all kinds of troubles. I have to conspire with all the high-ranking officials and court nobles, at least let them be a little more tolerant, and turn a blind eye to the chaos of the past two days, because some things, although they have become a common practice, everyone turns a blind eye on weekdays. But if people are dissatisfied with the profit sharing, it will be difficult for us to do it. ”

"Hey, I've been busy with these things at noon." Frajos shook his head: "This kind of big event, although it seems to have a high return, but the upfront investment is indeed very large. Caspilos, they will not be willing to give up no matter what. ”

"When it comes to input, you're also the one who invests the most." The subordinate asked, "Then why didn't you go to meet people just now in Caspilos?" ”

"I feel like something is wrong." Frajos did not brag this time, but analyzed seriously: "I have held several banquets and entertained several groups of nobles from different circles and even different positions. During each banquet, I take the opportunity to talk to important people and test their opinions. The previous feedback has been good, and the gentlemen feel that this kind of investment is acceptable. Some people also feel that private funding for the war should be encouraged. For several days, no one publicly objected. ”

"But at noon today, it was supposed to be over, but suddenly an unexpected situation happened." He said with a look of alarm, "You were out on business at the time, and you didn't know how bad the situation was—Princess Theodora's maid suddenly came out against me. I reasoned with her, but she deliberately messed up and made a mess of the venue. At that time, I was so angry that I lost my cool and didn't think about it. Later, I thought about it carefully, and I suspected that this was a warning. ”

"Are you thinking too much?" A young attendant asked curiously, "If it's really an important matter, don't let the maid make trouble?" Could it be a simple misunderstanding? ”

"You know what a fart." Frajos rolled his eyes: "These big people, the relatives around them, are not easy to get along with. The princess's maid is also the daughter of the Shi family, but she has a little contradiction with his family's family and went to the princess. ”

"If you know about court politics, you should know that this kind of person is actually the most popular among the sovereigns - they are not from a low background, which means that these people are often systematically educated, understand the rules of the game at the top and a lot of information that cannot be written. And a bad relationship with the host means that it is not easy to be taken advantage of. Therefore, it may even be more valued than other retinues. ”

"This kind of person, it is unreasonable to say that it is a simple misunderstanding. I think I'm a more cautious person, and with so many people present, why misunderstand? Frajos asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the man went crazy and came to find fault?" Can there be such a person around the princess? ”

As soon as he said this, the people who helped with the idea also realized it and found that there was indeed a problem.

"I think this is probably the hint of the princess. Hints - what else could it be, it must be tonight. Flajos reasoned: "So, when they set out, Caspillos didn't want me to go, so I took advantage of the situation and didn't go with them." ”

"It's still a master." The attendants said in unison, "We thought it was strange just now. Those people don't want you to go, obviously deliberately squeezing you out. You spent so much money and effort before, why did you give up again at a critical time. I see. ”

"Hey, no way. In the current situation, we must not only maintain the initiative and safeguard our main interests; Don't be too ostentatious, or let bigger variables emerge. Flajos came to a conclusion: "Like those families, it is obviously not a good thing to fight with the barbarians if you don't pull a few fools." ”

"So, what if they succeed Master Caspilos?" Some people are still very worried: "Now this person is encouraging everyone to stop recognizing France, and to recognize this or something...... Great Song Kingdom, I think it's also an opportunity. If we support him, then even if the other lords succeed in holding the princess back, the attitude of the citizens has changed. We are the ones who have the initiative and the organization. And their puppets are useless. ”

"Yes, they brought a lot of people, and they should have called people from nearby cities, I'm afraid there must be hundreds." Another person also agreed: "You have also noticed, on our side, not only are there a lot fewer gang backbones in the city, but even the most conspicuous Ross gangsters on weekdays don't know where to go." ”

"yes. These people are simple-minded, have a low asking price, and are willing to work hard when they are fighting, and everyone likes to buy them to do dirty work. It stands to reason that the most people transferred here should be them. ”

"There are a lot of Rus, and our citizens, don't look at the weekdays, one can brag more than the other, and they are fierce in the face of the weak, but if you really encounter a Frank with a sword, I am afraid that you will be scared to pee your pants. But the Ross people are stunned, but they may really be. If he was willing to spend money, those few Franks would probably be able to handle it. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Frajos interrupted their discussion: "In their case, even if Princess Jeanna only brought three or four followers, they would not have succeeded. ”

"Why is that?" The crowd was curious.

"If it's just the Caspilos family, it's okay to gamble on luck, or the Nikolao family or something, it's the same. But in order to ensure an advantage - or can't get rid of others? In short, it's all over. ”

"Then the question is, who is this success?" Frajos spread his hands.

"Huh?"

"I may not know much about military affairs or anything, but I know those nobles very well." Master Frajos put on a teaching posture and said disapprerovingly: "Now it is Caspyros who is in charge, but if he can succeed in holding the princess hostage, then Makris and Nikolao will not let him succeed." In the same way, if Caspyros is driven away by them, they will have to fight for the princess. ”

"To be honest, I think that joining forces with the princess to fight against the family is in line with the family culture of these two families - according to my research, the Makris family is not the aristocracy that arose from the Macedonian Dynasty, they are actually after the Latin Dynasty, they made a fortune through the chaos, and I don't know where the barbarians are. And Nikolao ......"

"Okay, sir, we get it." Everyone hurriedly said: "Then you see, since this is the case, there is no hope over there." Or let's just like it. ”

"That's ...... But the princess may have been dissatisfied with the distribution of the proceeds, and suddenly she ...... something out of her mind," Frajos muttered.

"Hey, you don't pay anyway. And this whole thing has nothing to do with us, right? These people did it themselves, not us. The princess really asked about this, and you said that your plan was all well-intentioned, and it was all blamed on the mob for fooling around. Isn't that enough? ”

Flahos felt a little reasonable, and nodded: "I also feel that this person is very strange - I am also a theater lover, I feel that this person speaks a little too seriously, as if he prepared lines in advance." Hey, but then again, it's normal for someone to have an idea for such a big thing. Since we can't control the situation, let's settle for the next best thing and use them against each other. ”

"Okay." The people hurried down.

The two men immediately ran to the railing, and one of them shouted at the speaker, "Hey, over there, whose supporter are you?" Make your thoughts clear. ”

"If it makes sense, our lord is willing to support you and reward you with some sponsorship!" Another person also said.

"Who said they were going to sponsor it......" Frajos on the stage immediately couldn't sit still. But the audience became excited first, laughing and saying things like "The old miser has also changed his personality, you are a family", and at the same time urged, so that he did not dare to deny it for a while.

"It's very simple, we don't have to wait for that Frenchman, who knows what they think? The right person is here, and there is no need to look for another one. The man also replied, "I suggest that we elect the Yan clan and serve as the Barcelius of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Huh? I don't know about the history of the East, and I still have this statement. ”

"We've got it here!"

"Don't worry about so much, just be convenient!"

The people were again in high spirits and began to discuss.
