"Then what is the purpose of doing this?" Zhu Wenkui didn't seem to understand, and directly interjected and asked.

"My plan is no longer in action." "The situation changed suddenly, so I had to try to do as much as I could to achieve my goals," Odosia said. ”

The few people who interrogated her couldn't understand what she was talking about. But this news was too surprising, and for a while, several people fell into chaos, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know where to start asking.

"Alright." At this time, Guo Kang took the initiative to speak: "You should want to talk about your goals and plans." So tell me, what were you going to do? ”

"I've collected a lot of incriminating evidence." "As I said," said Eudosia, "my job is to make acquaintances and collude with rich and powerful people from all walks of life. I was always present at their various activities. So, I understand their desires, what they do for this, and what they will do in the future. ”

"Later, because I gradually gained some strength, I can sometimes make suggestions. After a few successful suggestions, people began to listen to me and allow me to influence the social environment a little bit. ”

"Oh, you're going to induce them to be exposed, right, and then take the opportunity to report them, and you can kill these people and make your own merits." Cao Jian nodded, revealing a clear expression.

"Not really." Odosia shook her head: "It's useless to report these people. If the law had worked for them, these people would have been doomed a long time ago. However, they are people who are above the law, and simply collecting evidence and reporting will not be effective. ”

"Don't you have a good relationship with Xuanying?" Shi Ke said: "Just ask him to help, won't it?" Can those people compare to his family? ”

However, Odosia just shook her head.

"Do you know who these people in the city are?" She said directly.

"Uh......" Shi Ke seemed to react, looking embarrassed.

"I've been locked up here for a while, and I don't know what's going on outside. But I've heard before that this time, some of the Pillar Nation clans were involved. Eudosia asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that the biggest backstage of these outlaws is your own family?" ”

"You can't say that." Tuohuan hurriedly stopped her.

"That's not what I said." Odosia pointed out: "This time, Guo Gongzi led the team himself, and they were all directly attacked by them. The strength of the attack is aimed at killing people and destroying mouths. ”

"You see, when someone comes to punish their men and interferes with their good deeds, they get angry even before they affect themselves. Even if it is the son of the war marshal, he has to take a risk. Isn't Guo Gongzi your good Anda? Why did this happen to him, don't you know? ”

Tuhuan didn't know how to say it for a while, so he looked at everyone. Shi Ke was still stunned, Cao Jian seemed to want to say something, but after looking at everyone, he stopped talking. Zhu Wenkui glanced at him and asked, "Then do you have evidence?" ”

"Yes." "But because there are so many people involved in the evidence, I judge that it is useless. Judging from the results, this idea is not wrong. Guo Gongzi has been attacked by them, let alone people like me? ”

"As for Xuanying, even if he wants to help me, will his family support him? Even if he really came out, in the face of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, could he withstand such a big pressure? She shook her head, "It's too dangerous to be worth it." ”

The crowd was silent again for a moment, not knowing how to refute. Seeing this, Theodora opened his mouth and asked everyone, "What do you think?" ”

"It's none of my business!" Zhu Wenkui hurriedly said: "After my father failed to cut the domain, everything in the house was gone. How can we be backstaged, and those Greeks still despise us every day......"

"It's not that this ......" Theodora was a little speechless, so she had to ask Eudosia herself: "Since you think that the Li family can't help, what are you going to do?" ”

"By conventional means, it really doesn't help." Eudosia replied, "However, there are also things that are more important than these interests. If they do, no one can save them. That's all I thought. ”

"Just to make them rebel?" Theodora nodded: "I see......"

"I did a lot of preparation." Odosia said, "These people say they are powerful, and they are indeed powerful. But to say fragile, it is also fragile. They seem to be united, but in fact, because they are competing for greater interests, they are at odds with each other. While we want to cooperate, we always want to secretly knife each other. ”

"Moreover, their management of their subordinates is not strict. The people who smell like them are not strong-willed and united. Their subordinates are also completely profit-oriented, and it is not easy to maintain stability. When it really comes to a critical moment, it's easy to get out of control. Here, it's a breakthrough. ”

"You chose the arena, that's the idea...... Diodora said half-incredulously.

"My troupe used to go to the Colosseum and perform after the competition – that's the chance they worked so hard for." Odosia smiled bitterly: "At that time, I found that the audience there seemed to be the most emotionally unstable time after the game. ”

"And there's more to racing than meets the eye. In fact, not only me, but many other people have also realized that this kind of large-scale competition can easily make citizens emotional. So, from the very beginning, gambling, brawls and even other illegal industries were all rampant around the game. Because of this, since the revival of this project began and the re-holding of the Grand Arena, it has attracted many powerful and noble people to participate. If you can cause chaos there, you can pull a lot of people in. ”

"It's not something you can do alone." Guo Kang, who had been listening to her, shook his head: "You have other helpers." ”

"Have you ever been to the Arena car race?" Odosia asked her rhetorically.

"Well, no......" Guo Kang subconsciously replied honestly.

"I heard Xuanying say, Guo Gongzi, you like to be quiet and are keen to study philosophy and theology. This statement should be true, because you really know too little about the outside world. Odosia sighed.

"In theory, I have a lot of helpers. The city is too rich, too attractive, and too many people who have too much desire and desire far beyond their means. It can be said that these greedy and incompetent people are my helpers. ”

"Your organizational skills and motivation skills are actually very strong, and I also admire them." "However, I suggest you visit the arena later – you can understand what I mean by experiencing that environment twice," she said bluntly. ”

"I see what you mean." Theodora interrupted her: "However, if you want to plan the events you want, you can't just prepare this one plan. You have dealings with so many people, and even if most of them are the ones you want to coax and incite, there are certainly your comrades who cooperate in all aspects. ”

"As far as I know, you get along very well with some people, including some foreign businessmen." She said, "What are you approaching them for?" ”

"For the money." Eudosia said strangely, "What else can I for?" ”

"I arrested a Florentine merchant named Joanna because the person was acting very wrong. But because of pressure from other quarters, she could only be released temporarily. Theodora had no choice but to elaborate: "You and this man have been in frequent correspondence, and you have discussed things together on the night of the turmoil. You have a bank draft from her in your place, and she is the one who tries to drop you off. What are you planning? ”

"I gave her ideas to help newcomers like her enter the business community here. In return, she would give me enough money to fund my activities. That's what I do. Odosia said.

"As for the other ......," she shook her head, and asked rhetorically, "since the princess can directly speculate on several possible options, it means that you yourself have seriously considered this kind of problem, right?" Then you should know very well that the strength of the Italian merchants is not enough to accomplish anything. I do need help, but I'm not going to look for them. ”

When she said this, everyone also felt that it made sense. Considering this turmoil, many Italian merchants seemed to have been wiped out without doing anything, and it seemed that there was really no need for these people to think about it.

Therefore, everyone didn't think Joanna was strange, but looked at Theodora, wondering if she really considered rebellion.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Tuhuan hurriedly stopped: "You woman, why do you keep thinking so many bad thoughts." Listen to Guo Gongzi's orders, just explain your accomplices honestly, and don't talk nonsense. ”

"I admit that I have a lot of thoughts, but whether it is bad or not, it depends on the specific position." Odosia argued, "If my plan succeeds, it should be a good thing for most people. My friends aren't necessarily bad people. You've all been through the whole thing, so you should know it very well. ”

"I've always asked Xuanying to help me bring books to read, so I also know some history." "Now, it's been decades since the dynasty arose," she said. It is normal for various problems to occur. But because of this, these problems are not so easy to solve by conventional means. ”

"So, this time is also an inevitability. If Guo Gongzi hadn't acted in advance, then I would have lit this fire through the Greeks at the racetrack, or with the help of Princess Jeanne and the Crusaders, or other forces in the city. And I believe that even without us, there will be others who will do the same—just by the little marshal who will cause the chaos, or by someone else. ”

"You mean, he's robbing you of your target." Only then did Zhu Wenkui understand and said in surprise.

"You robbed it too." Odosia said calmly: "My only regret is that according to my plan, I should have been able to kill more. But it's all a good thing, and I have to thank you. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Wenkui didn't understand again.

"It shouldn't be difficult to understand." Eudosia had no choice but to explain, "For example, the group of French knights who went to attack your house. If my plan had gone according to the original steps, they would have gone there to loot and kill people when the Greek merchants in the city were in turmoil, and at least to destroy the bands of wealthy merchants who had lent them money. ”

And the Greeks, who had always hated foreigners, would fight them angrily. Princess Jeanne and the French, you know, the Greek merchants can't stop them at all, and they will pull their collaborators and protectors to help in a panic. ”

"And the internal response I arranged would spread the word among the crowd, accusing the court of favoring foreigners, demanding the expulsion of the Purple Horde and the establishment of a state of Greeks. The lines I wrote about the Song Dynasty could have been used at this time - let's just say that although the Purple Horde was powerful, the purity of Greece was too low, and it was not as good as the previous small court. Many citizens in the city who have a little spare money like this conspiracy view, so it is not surprising that they will immediately make trouble. ”

"This ......" Zhu Wenkui opened his mouth, unable to answer for a while.

At that time, he asked Hyun Young to go out with his men, saying that in order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of his ancestors, he must stop the rebellion as soon as there was no trouble. Then, publish all the serious crimes I have collected, investigate these problems that can still be covered in the past, and kill all the people involved. Odosia said briefly.

"His family had encountered this kind of thing back then, and they all had psychological shadows. In this way, no one else can say anything, even if it is the patriarchal family, if it is involved in this kind of unclear thing, it can only consider itself unlucky. The wicked people he killed were his achievements, and Guo Gongzi should be able to understand it. She shook her head:

"Actually, what he's going to do is pretty much the same as you did this time. However, because of the better preparation, the whole thing came prepared, so it should be smoother. And ......" She hesitated a little and said, "Actually, Guo Gongzi, this matter is not suitable for you to do." Your role this time, it stands to reason, is more suitable for the kind of person who has stronger combat power and can penetrate the enemy recklessly......"

“……”

Guo Kang was also speechless for a while, and could only say: "This kind of sophisticated, one-by-one plan is unlikely to succeed." ”

"Yes, it didn't actually go exactly as planned." Odosia nodded: "However, the various preparations of the plan are independent of each other. Even if you can't accurately predict all developments, you can keep moving towards your goals. Even if you encounter such a sudden situation, don't you use some of it? ”

"What about yourself?" Theodora asked, "What are you going to do in this plan?" ”

"Myself? He's dead. "In this plan, I need to convince the French myself before they can act." When they found out something was wrong, they weren't stupid and would definitely kill me. ”

"If it weren't for this plan, but for the mob in the city to cause unrest, I would have personally brought a group of representatives of the Xiaohao clan to the Wang family to ask for explanations, causing them to fight among themselves, and then die there. In this way, after Xuanying went, there was a reason to kill them all. She thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, it may be an unexpected thing to be able to live until now." ”

Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui looked at each other, unable to understand whether she was serious or talking big.

"What do you mean by that?" Tuohuan frowned and asked, "You didn't have to say these words. It's not good for you to speak out so voluntarily. What exactly do you want? ”

"Didn't I say it?" Odosia leaned back in her chair and relaxed, "I want them all to die." Is this reason enough? ”
