Jenn Cavendeer.

At that moment, Dagori froze.

On the other side of the glass, Tails also had a moving expression.

"Why?" asked the wine merchant subconsciously.

"You know why. Raphael smiled undiminishedly.

Dagore sat up straight and said apprehensively:

"This, little brother, you...... You say you serve the Kingdom?"

"Which department the hell?"

Raphael nodded, more and more interested:

"It's really strange, you are not afraid of the Finance and Taxation Hall that knocks on the bones and sucks the marrow, nor is you afraid of the fierce and vicious Alert Hall, and you are not afraid of the transcendent trial hall. ”

Only when I heard the name of a big nobleman from other places, I lost my temper so far. ”

Dagory shuddered.

He understood something, and looked around nervously:

"It's not a security hall at all, is it?"

"Who the hell are you doing things for?"

Raphael snorted lightly:

"Oh, perhaps you are afraid that Duke Iris will know that Dagory Moss, a capable merchant who has been helped by him and received his favor and led his mission, and has acted for him as an agent for the central liquor business, has actually kept his money in his pockets, eaten huge kickbacks for so long, and run so many private properties elsewhere......"

Tails saw that every time Raphael said a word, Dagory shuddered.

Raphael smiled easily:

"And he still dares to say that the business has failed, and he goes back to cry poverty with the duke?"

Dagori's breathing began to quicken, and he swallowed hard:

"Listen, little brother, there must be some misunderstanding between us, I can't understand anything you said......"

Raphael picked up the papers, left his seat, and looked like he was going to call it a day and leave:

"Don't worry, we'll arrange for a carriage to take you home with great fanfare in a moment to thank you for your cooperation and confession—just after the evidence has been sent to Emerald City, to Duke Jenn. ”

Dagori froze, the look and confidence on his face vanished.

"You...... Can't ......" he wanted to say something, but he was stammered.

Raphael turned his head sideways, smiled evilly, and threw the last straw:

"After all, you know, the secret department of the kingdom, you can't be tortured illegally. ”

At that moment, Dagori shook violently!

"What, you say you are kings, what kind of kings?" asked the wine merchant in a daze.

The Bones Man just smiled and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

"I remembered, remembered!"

Perhaps the last sentence was too powerful, and Dagory threw himself out of his chair and got up from the ground in a panic, with a cry in his words:

"There is a large amount of money turned back today, I promise, those who are owed wages and arrears will receive the money soon, and there is a large surplus, I want to donate all of it to you personally, or your department, to support the work...... Can you do it, just because I haven't been here......"

But Raphael smiled wickedly and was unmoved:

"Don't worry, you're familiar with Boss Catherine, aren't you, and when you get out, the Blood Vials will treat you well?"

"Or I've heard that the custom of the Emerald City is to drive a ship and take people out to sea, and whatever happens on the high seas has nothing to do with the laws of the kingdom......"

He squinted and smiled:

"We can't manage it if we want to. ”

It seems that with every word Raphael says, Dagory can think of something.

As a result, his crying became heavier and heavier, and his eyes became more and more frightened:

"No, no, no, please, you ...... You're killing me...... I, I am also a citizen of the Kingdom, and you cannot see death without saving ......"

Raphael reacted and smiled apologetically:

"Where, Duke Iris is so generous and approachable, maybe he won't care?"

"After all, you have such a big family, and you have to support it. ”

Family.

Dagory shuddered, he froze in place, and looked at Raphael in a daze.

Raphael smiled and looked back at him happily, patiently waiting for a response.

Exactly ten seconds later.

"Damn. ”

Finally, under Raphael's gaze, Dagory couldn't bear the weight and fell to the ground softly:

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, I, I'll give you everything. ”

He broke down completely, and really wept and wept silently:

"Just, just don't tell the duke...... Me, I...... I just want to make a fortune before I retire...... My family ......"

Raphael smiled, laughing heartily.

"Welcome to the Kingdom Secrets, Mr. Morse. ”

Satisfied, he leaned down and picked up the trembling Dagory:

"Don't worry, with our care, you're not retiring that soon. ”

Dagore stared blankly at the young man in front of him, his face only numb.

At the other end of the room, Tails looked back in disgust:

"This is how you recruit people and win hearts and minds?"

The Black Prophet in the wheelchair chuckled softly:

"I know you look down on this tactic. ”

"I'm not looking down on it, I'm just ......," the prince shook his head and said uncomfortably:

"It reminds me of the Shadow Shield. ”

"That's right. Morat scoffed:

"Because that's our division of labor: we stay in the dark and do the dirty work, and you stand in the sun and condemn the dirty work. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Tails glanced at the Black Prophet, his brow growing tighter.

On the other side of the glass, Raphael finally calmed down the collapsed and surrendered Dagory and rearranged him in a chair.

"Now, can you answer my question?"

Dagory's eyes were red, and he was holding a handkerchief to wipe his nosebleed, and he raised his head in a daze:

"What, what's the problem?"

Raphael patiently repeated:

"Why, why doesn't the kingdom's future wine industry have a future?"

Perhaps frightened by the experience in the past ten minutes, Dagori was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Yes, yes," replied the wine merchant smugly.

"It's been just a rumor before, but it was confirmed last night......"

"By now, the wine merchants all over the country should have spread the word. ”

Raphael's eyes moved slightly:

"What's wrong?"

Dagori, who had just experienced a drastic change in his life, flattened his mouth and said reluctantly:

"The prince. ”

Hearing his news, Tails was stunned.

I saw Dagori say sullenly:

"Our wise Prince Tails, His Excellency Duke of Star Lake, doesn't like wine. ”

"At yesterday's banquet, my home-brewed wine was placed on his table, and he didn't move a drop. ”

"Even a drop. ”

He hated it:

"Even when he toasted, he was pretentious and deliberately spilled and didn't drink. ”

Raphael snorted:

"Maybe your wine isn't up to taste?"

"Ha, what difference does it make if the prince doesn't like to drink, or if the wine doesn't suit his taste?"

After being devastatedly knocked open by Raphael, Dagori, who opened the conversation, talked endlessly, quite a bit of a broken can and gave up on himself.

And he didn't drink. ”

The wine merchant said unhappily:

"He doesn't like people drinking. ”

Tails looked up in disbelief.

Raphael also frowned:

"Really?"

Dagory snorted, full of sarcasm:

"Although I didn't go to the royal banquet yesterday, a friend of mine went, and he saw it with his own eyes: before the hostage-taking accident, there was a noble girl, who was very beautiful and had a good family background, and she went to invite the prince to dance. ”

As a result, because she drank two glasses of wine before talking to the prince, she was angrily reprimanded by His Royal Highness in public, and she came back crying. ”

Raphael still questioned:

"You...... Are you sure?"

"It's spread all over the circle of celebrities!"

Dagory snorted:

"His Royal Highness refused every girl who had ever drunk, and even his aunt drank a few more glasses of wine, but he showed no mercy and drove her out of the banquet in advance!"

"There is also a servant who testifies: after the banquet was dismissed, when His Highness talked to Duke Jenn alone, he drank all the water!"

Raphael groaned:

"That's it, just the trivia from last night's banquet?"

"Maybe it's just an excuse you've come up with, to cover up your business failures and run away from your debts, and hundreds of families in a row......"

Dagory interrupted him indignantly:

"I said I was just going on vacation abroad...... Listen, the prince hates wine, and this has been known for a long time, not only last night. ”

"How?"

Dagory snorted:

"First of all, it's the Northland merchants from Black Sand, and it's rumored that Prince Tails and the current king of Exeter are at odds with each other over a glass of wine. ”

"I don't know what the prince is like in the north, but his return to the stars is also obvious: a simple dwelling, a simple life, not close to wine. ”

Dagory raised his finger and said in a hurry:

"In the Blade Tooth Camp, the colleagues of the Western Wilderness prepared a pot of fine wine, bought the soldiers of the Wings of Legends, and prepared to present it to him, and advertised it by the way, but the prince was very faceless, and he smashed it on the ground without looking at it!"

"You know, that's the heir to the kingdom. ”

That's when the rumors began. ”

Dagory exhaled indignantly:

"And I've just heard about this morning: two of Prince Tails' personal bodyguards, the royal guards, the Bright Stars of Seven, had a few more drinks last night, and so they made a mistake and had a hostage-taking accident. ”

So the prince ordered them to be flogged, and they were beaten to death in the hall of Mindis, and it is said that he himself counted the scourges. ”

Raphael listened intently, glancing at the one-way glass.

Dagory then leaned back:

"Well, soon the whole star will know that the future king does not like to drink, and he does not like those who drink. ”

"Damn the prince. ”

Raphael coughed:

"Maybe you're overreacting, the prince doesn't like to drink and it doesn't matter so much......"

"Oh, he's a prince, the future king!"

In a bad mood, Dagori impatiently interrupted the Bones:

"Everything he does, every penny, every bit of it, has a super-super, huge, huge impact, okay!"

Raphael did not speak.

The other side of the one-way glass fell into dead silence.

"Listen, little brother, you're still young, but I've seen it, I know ......"

Dagory grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his nose:

"It may not be that fast, but it will ...... over time"

"The upper circle of the royal capital will gradually form such an atmosphere: in order to please the prince and approach the duke, first, some people will start to drink less, and then everyone will follow the trend and drink less, and then the famous people will advocate not drinking, and then the atmosphere will expand to the entire Yongxing City, urging everyone not to drink, until the kingdom officially introduces a law to restrict alcohol and prohibit alcohol......"

Raphael was skeptical:

"Isn't that too much of an exaggeration?"

Dagory shook his head:

"Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but buddy, you're also from the public family. ”

"If you are good at the top, you will increase the weight at the bottom. ”

"Haven't you heard? If a cup falls in the Fuxing Palace, a head will fall in the kingdom. ”

The wine merchant glanced at Raphael and smiled sarcastically:

"And you know that Prince Tails dropped a lot of glasses at the banquet? hahahaha......"

His laughter was disgruntled and desolate, fading away.

"The king sneers at a certain class of people, and when they get down, they will be driven to extermination. ”

"The duke looks at something twice, and when it goes down to the people, it will be priceless and priceless. ”

"People regard a certain drunken brain-dead sentence of a big man as a wise saying, and interpret it diligently, and college scholars even fund it and set up a project to study ......"

"Or any great nobleman, who forgets to wear his pants for a walk, will be regarded as a new style of elegance, fashion trend, attracting people to worship and compete to imitate ......"

Dagory said not without resentment:

"Isn't that rare?"

The wine merchant sighed:

"Power is the hook, fishing everyone to come to it for a pitiful bait. ”

"How do you think I got rich?"

There was silence in the interrogation room for a while.

"So you shut down the winery, it's the result of a lot of thought. Raphael said lightly.

Dagory nodded.

"Do you think I want to close, believe me, if I don't stop my losses now, in a few months, when the rumor that the prince doesn't like wine spreads, my business statements will only be more ugly, and my benefactor in the Emerald City will be even more unhappy. ”

"And I'm not the first to know: the nose of the market is smarter than mine, and gold only follows power. ”

He pouted:

"Last night alone, after the banquet, six noble buyers returned the next month's order, and they said that their home-brewed wine would be enough. ”

"Ten more ...... this morning"

Dagori's eyes became confused:

"I originally thought that after the prince returned to the country and the royal banquet was held, the royal capital, which had been silent for more than ten years, would have a lot of banquet occasions, and the demand for wine, especially for our extravagant banquet drinking, would definitely rise sharply. ”

"So I expanded my range of partners and bought several wineries to increase production, and borrowed a lot of money for this......"

He snorted, wiped the last bit of nosebleed, and threw the handkerchief on the table.

"Now, now I can only stop losses early. ”

"At least in the short term, I won't have any more considerable orders for large and small royal capital banquets. ”

Raphael was silent for a moment before he answered:

"According to you, you are only the first person to act according to the rumors, and in your line of work, more people will suffer, and more people will lose their jobs?"

Dagory snorted, crying and laughing.

"What can I do?"

"I'm desperate too!"

He was depressed:

"But who is the one who has caused the wine merchants to lose their confidence and the future of the wine industry to be depressed, and who is the one who has caused all the workers under my command to eat the soil?"

"Don't look for me if you have the ability, go to our Highness Tails who said to the whole world, 'I hate alcohol'!"

Morse slumped back in his chair and muttered a second time:

"Damn nobles. ”

"Damn the prince. ”

The interrogation room was quiet again.

Raphael sighed:

"Very good, thank you for your opinion, I'll make sure he knows. ”

"Make sure he knows ......"

Soon, Moss, immersed in decadence, realized something.

"No, no, no, I'm #&%¥&......"

The face of the wine merchant who suddenly realized changed greatly:

"Don't write it down...... Sunset knows that my whole family is loyal and wholeheartedly supports the Bright Star Royal Family!"

He waved his hands as hard as he could, trying to justify Raphael.

But Raphael only glanced at the one-way glass, and waved his hand to let Morse down.

"Really, my mother can testify! I have been a loyal supporter of His Highness Tails since I was born......

"Aren't we our own people, you can't trick me like this!"

The words of the wine merchant slowly faded away, and the aftermath was endless:

"What, may the Duke of Xinghu be in good health and be crowned king as soon as possible......"

"Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm also a big supporter of His Majesty Kessel! I sincerely wish the Iron King a long life and eternal rule of the ......stars."

The door to the interrogation room closed, Dagory's voice died out, and Raphael let out a sigh of relief and looked at the one-way glass.

On this side of the glass, the Black Prophet looked at the prince with interest.

For a few minutes, Tails was silently stunned.

There was no word for a while.
