After she said this, the interrogators looked at each other again.

Although the situation was explained and clarified, everyone's doubts did not disappear. Moreover, there are some things that seem to be difficult to say directly.

Cao Jian and Shi Ke didn't dare to speak anymore, and kept watching Dehuan. Guo Kang didn't say a word, and was still busy making notes. Zhu Wenkui looked at Guo Kang for a while, and looked at Dehuan for a while, as if he hadn't figured out whether it was appropriate for him to speak at this time.

Tuohuan and Theodora glanced at each other, paused for a moment, and asked, "Who exactly do you want to solve?" Why do you think that after you say it, we will definitely help you? ”

"There are a lot of people who want to solve it." Odosia no longer hid her resentment: "If the Khan's court is not so corrupt and chaotic, maybe our situation can be better." If I had the chance, I really wanted to kill them all. ”

"Why are you to blame Rome?" "If it weren't for us, I don't know how many barbarian chieftains in this Mediterranean world would call themselves Imperaldo and how many call themselves Caesars. The whole world will only become more chaotic. It's not like the barbarians haven't occupied this place. You don't think they're better managed than we are, do you? ”

"That's not wrong in comparison." Odosia didn't refute: "It's just that even the current environment, for people from my background, is still not much better. Of course, I don't expect you to understand my feelings, but at least, now we have a common enemy, right? ”

"You ask me why I think I'm in this favor. I think it's because Guo Gongzi is here. "Since he took the initiative to act, it means that he also wants to eradicate these phenomena," she said. I think that if I speak my minds, he will support my ultimate goal, if not my strategy and actions. ”

"Moreover, to deal with these people now, we cannot rely on brute force alone, but need someone to support them. Xuanying can't do these things, Guo Gongzi is the most suitable person. ”

"Whatever you say, people will listen?" Tuohuan shook his head and said.

"Then why don't you ask if he wants to deal with these corrupt officials and local snakes?" Odosia asked rhetorically.

As soon as she said this, everyone went to see Guo Kang. Guo Kang hurriedly put down his pen, raised his head, and didn't think about what to say for a while.

"Of course I don't need him to listen to me. And, now that the situation has changed, my plan may not necessarily come in handy. Odosia continued: "But I have already compiled all the information, and someone will find an opportunity for him when the time comes." For the rest, let him do it himself. After all, my strength is too weak, and he should do better than me. ”

When she said this, even Tuohuan herself was a little shaken. After all, things have developed to this point, and all the "costs" that need to be paid have already been paid.

Although it has caused a lot of economic damage and led to the emergence of emergencies, it is all in the past, and it will neither increase nor decrease because of the current behavior. On the contrary, at the current stage of accountability, killing any more bad guy is a waste of money. These people are no longer capable of creating any problems.

Tuhuan looked at Guo Kang, and sure enough, he found that he was also obviously moved. The two glanced at each other, and Guo Kang took the initiative to say: "Then let someone send it over directly, and I'll find out what's going on." In the past few days, I have become a bad name, and no one dares to stop me when I take people to the dock to check the accounts. Just borrow Yu Wei and see if there is anything left. Do you have any suggestions? ”

Tuhuan shook his head, Cao Jian and Shi Ke had no opinion as always. Only Theodora hesitated a little and said, "If it's all done here, won't it offend too many people?" Need my help? ”

"If you did it in the first place, it's okay to leave it to you now. However, I started this incident in the first place, so it is better for me to offend them to the end. Guo Kang replied:

"My ideals are in conflict with the interests of these people. As we all know, although there are so many different people in the world, most of the time, they can seek common ground while reserving differences, and even pagan believers can live in harmony. The conflict of interests alone is the most difficult to compromise, and the greater the interests and the higher the status, the more so. Since we're going to be dead, I don't need to be friendly with them. ”

"Is it that serious?" Shi Ke wants to play a round.

Guo Kang pondered for a moment, considering how to explain.

But at this time, Zhu Wenkui, who didn't seem to be related, shook his head, and seemed to understand this kind of thing very well.

"In the future, it will be more serious." He said firmly.

"Are you having any problems?" Shi Ke said curiously.

"yes." Zhu Wenkui said: "My family originally had nothing to do with the political situation in the city. But during this time, because Brother Kang needed help, I set up a workshop to help him make all kinds of experimental equipment and instruments. ”

"It stands to reason that our workshop is purely experimental. At present, the production is very low, and it is relatively reluctant to supply the monastery for experiments, and there is almost no excess output, and it will not participate in commercial competition. However, even so, the guild still came to us twice in three days to find trouble. ”

"At first, I thought that although my family had a false name, a false name was also a name. With this important relationship, and Guo Gongzi to help protect him, he should not be troubled. However, the results were unexpected. Even if I told them exactly this, several guilds in the city were still inexplicably hostile to me. ”

"I went to buy parts or something, and they banded together and didn't sell them to me. I wanted to hire a few assistants to help, but those people were also threatened by them and did not dare to come to work on my side. Later, Lao Yang told me, and I learned that it was the blacksmith's guild that made the stumbling block. Because they think I'm a foreigner and a layman, and suddenly running away to open a blacksmith shop and study all kinds of machines will definitely affect their benefits. This is already for the sake of Daming and the Guo family, giving me face, otherwise, I will definitely have to smash the stall and throw me into the sea. ”

"After that, I thought, we're just experimenting now, and we're in conflict to this point. If we really make the machines we envisioned, and even the technology of the Steam Brothers, use them in the workshop, they must not go crazy? Zhu Wenkui shook his head: "You just said that sometimes the two sides are endless. I feel like we're going to have to do the same with these guilds. ”

"It should be much better now." Guo Kang said: "I remember that several guilds were involved in this case, at least in the short term, I shouldn't dare to provoke you again." ”

"We will offend more than these few people in the future." Zhu Wenkui disagreed: "The textile machine and sewing machine you talked about last time, if it is done well, the biggest problem is not the design itself, or even how to promote the use of those women, but we definitely can't produce it in Dadu." Otherwise, the textile guild in the city will definitely collude with other craftsmen and mess things up. ”

"I think it's better to use it as an armament, let the workshop of the Ministry of War produce it, and then find those nuns to promote it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised that people would attack my house again one day and try to kill me. ”

"There's a lot involved." Tuhuan had a headache: "Before, we didn't care much about the commerce and handicrafts in the city, as long as they paid taxes. Moreover, these people did pay a lot of money, and they have been working for us, producing all kinds of things. We can't clean up all the guilds in the city, can we? ”

"It's not much, is it?" Zhu Wenkui said unexpectedly: "My grandfather has handled the case, which time is not much more than this." How many people have we arrested. ”

"Uh......" Tuhuan thought about it, and found that he was right, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I don't have a problem with you." Since he spoke, Zhu Wenkui simply decided to speak straight and said to Odosia: "We don't seem to have known each other before, and your plan has nothing to do with me. If you had followed your plan, the French would probably have gone to fight the Greeks, and my family would have had less to do. So, I'll just tell the truth. ”

"What you think, Brother Kang hasn't thought about it, and it's not that we can't accept it. Your problem isn't even a plan to try to mess with all sorts of things. ”

"To tell you the truth, even people like me on the periphery know how many rumors and conspiracies those Greek noblewomen inside and outside the court will make every day. We're all used to it. He pouted: "However, after the Anda War, these Greek nobles have no power and can only say strange things - but if the Greeks don't say strange things, they will be suffocated, so just ignore them." ”

"Your real problem is that you can't tell who's your own." He said bluntly: "Brother Li has been hiding from his family for so many years for you. How could he not know that there was no hope for this? If they are discovered, they will not only be beaten, but they will also be embarrassed, and even affect their reputation in the family. ”

"Even so, he still wants to get along with you for many years in a row, under so much pressure. To be honest, I don't think I've had such a good mental quality anyway. Zhu Wenkui shook his head: "Didn't he just recruit an old master who is good at storytelling?" Infatuated with this, let that person change it, I think it can be used as a script and passed on to future generations. ”

"But think about it, how did you deal with him? Do you really think of him as one of your own? I don't think so. ”

"I'm not sorry for him!" Odosia suddenly became excited and interrupted his questioning: "I know very well what he has paid, but I also know very well what kind of person I am. This is the last thing I can do for him......"

"You know it all, and you're still so crazy?" Zhu Wenkui accused: "You said as if you did it because you didn't want to live, so you did this." But Tai Shi Gong said that wanting to die is a simple thing, but it is much more difficult to complete the mission. Once you yourself die, it's easy, what about Brother Li? ”

"At the end of the day, you're still too selfish. I only thought about what I should do, and I didn't think about others. You don't care how hard others will be hit, how sad and desperate they will be, you just move yourself. ”

"Even if you have that plan, that's true. It seems that so much is considered, but in fact the greatest help is overlooked. God has given you such a good opportunity, but you are blinded by your own emotions, indulging in personal grievances and entangled in the trivial matters around you. After all, this is the woman's opinion, not the husband's strategy. So even if you plan to the end, you can't succeed, you can only rely on others. Maybe this is God's punishment. ”

"Well, she's a woman...... Shi Ke muttered.

"What do you mean by help?" Odosia didn't dwell on this question, but was very unconvinced by the previous statement: "There are so many people who collude with each other, what help can I find besides Xuanying?" Even him, I have to think about safety and not put him at too much risk. I had to deal with the other real crises myself. ”

"Heavenly Father did not appear to answer our prayers to destroy the bad people. The Roman government was also only a tool for them, and there was no way to oppose themselves. What do you say is God's help? ”

"Aren't you lucky enough to meet Brother Li? This is not a divine help, what is it. Zhu Wenkui explained: "I just asked if you really regard him as your own. If you really think so, then isn't his friend your friend? ”

"If we want to do big things, we can't do it on our own. Even if you're so depressed that you want food, you can't ask for it yourself, you have to find a group of people to help each other, right? He asked rhetorically: "In my opinion, the development of the Great Qin State to this day depends on unity. You ask Taiji, ask Brother Kang, and see if they are like this? ”

"That's right." Tuhuan nodded approvingly, and admitted: "We are also negligent in this regard. I knew a little before, that Xuanying seemed to have a crush on you. But at that time, I really didn't take this as a big deal, thinking that when he was older and more mature, he should be able to solve it on his own. I haven't thought of these thoughts of yours either. ”

"If I had noticed earlier, maybe there would have been a better way. With you and Guo Kanganda helping each other, even if it will still lead to a strong counterattack and rebellion, we should be much simpler and more effective to deal with. ”

"I have always respected Guo Gongzi's wisdom. Xuanying couldn't help it later and wanted to ask him for help, and I agreed. Odosia replied: "However, even Guo Gongzi, there was no good way at that time. ”

"We're so disparate, I'm very aware of that. This kind of thing cannot be solved by everyone uniting. From the beginning, I didn't really expect that this relationship would come to fruition. She said and asked Zhu Wenkui: "Your Royal Highness, do you have any solution?" ”

Zhu Wenkui thought about it, but he really didn't come up with it. He looked at Guo Kang again for help, but Guo Kang had never thought of any good way since the day Li Xuanying looked for him.

"Didn't we talk about how to deal with those powerful and scum." Zhu Wenkui had no choice but to defend: "They don't want to fall in love...... This, this ...... If you have to fall in love, it's too unprofessional, right? ”

"These are two things, let's discuss them separately." Guo Kang hurriedly said.

"That must be a blow to Haoqiang, which is much more important than falling in love." Zhu Wenkui analyzed: "Look, if she doesn't get distracted to fall in love with Brother Li and concentrates on assisting him in handling business, won't there be so many things?" ”

"Although it seems a bit of a boast to say this, my grandfather is the best at managing the country among the people I know. If there are so many corrupt officials and local snakes in the capital, so close, let alone falling in love, he probably doesn't have the heart to sleep. Let's learn from such positive examples. ”

"Alright, don't say it." Theodora hurriedly stopped him from playing: "This example is too extreme......"

"He's not wrong." Odosia shook her head and admitted, "I do think narrowly, and I really don't have the ability. I hope you can do better. ”
