June 17, 1206, Qiyao Calendar, noon, minute.
lunch time.
Kane Duke City Hall, small banquet hall.
As the head of the four famous families, the super family in the empire second only to the royal family Anor, the standard of the meals can be imagined.
Especially during the recent leadership conference, standards and specifications have been pushed to the top.
Let's put it this way, except for a certain person in the new Class VII, no one else can afford it.
However, because of the invitation from two members of the four famous families, the new Class VII enjoyed another extravagant luxury lunch.
A commander-in-chief-level breakfast at the sea fortress and a noon lunch for the nobles. A certain pink-haired energetic girl was already looking forward to what she would have for dinner. Although she knew it was wrong and knew that dinner would most likely be back to the camp, anticipation was anticipation.
My family has a small business and has never seen the world, is that okay?
As long as I have enough money, there is no room for me to interfere in such a key matter involving the two major factions of the empire.
Really key.
The small banquet was just to catch up on the meal. The real core issue was the hunter captured by Rean and others, and the follow-up related matters.
In addition to the new Class VII, the attendees also included the acting head of Elbarea, Juss Albarea, the third son of the Haynes family, the state affairs officer, the specific person in charge, and the executor Patrick. Haynes, Major Claire Leavitt of the Railway Military Police, and Miriam O'Lane, a special agent of the Intelligence Bureau.
Considering the overt or covert power these people possess or represent, to put it modestly - it is not a problem to make half the empire tremble.
Miriam was the first to speak:
"I have compared it with the database of the Intelligence Agency, but there is no matching information. Ah, I thought that as long as it was a Chasseur Regiment operating in the western part of the continent, we would know whether it was suddenly transferred from the central or eastern part, or whether it was deliberately disguised as Such?"
Although Miriam is usually careless, she is actually very attentive and has a keen grasp of intelligence. Joining the Intelligence Bureau itself is enough to show her excellence.
Claire nodded, and then analyzed: "The high probability is the latter. Whether it is from the east or from the center, it needs to pass through the Codex Country and the Republic first. The possibility of not having any news is too low, as well as their reaction. , It’s not like fighting in a strange environment.”
"Even so, the range is too large." Patrick was a little distressed. "The chasseur regiments I know of alone have more than twenty. Counting the camouflage, it will only be larger, requiring more and more precise ones." intelligence."
"Remember what those people said before the arrest..." Jussis looked at Rean.
Rean turned to Ash, who screamed: "'Dragon Formation', launch a surprise attack, I heard it."
"You heard so clearly." Yuna praised, not to be sarcastic, but simply because she felt that her perception was not as sharp as Ash's.
"That is to say, there is some kind of opponent of the purple hunters, and they will appear in that place to make some kind of detour in order to launch a surprise attack on that opponent." Yosis narrowed his eyes, "In this way, it is clear There are more, although there are still mysteries, but at least there is direction, such as during interrogation - I can leave it to you, Miriam."
By the way, I am currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!
Miriam put her hands on the back of her head and muttered for a while: "Interrogation, I'm not particularly good at it, although I heard Rector tell me the essentials."
"Then let Serestan join in." Patrick secretly exchanged a look with Rean, "He has been in charge of the security of Santeac for a while and has experience."
"That's a big help, Patrick." Miriam said gratefully.
"We might as well make a bigger fanfare and organize a joint operation between the Railway Gendarmerie and the Haines family to spread the news and test the further reaction of the 'Purple Hunters'." Rean added fuel to the fire. Claire made a promise.
"What a good idea." Miriam's eyes lit up, "If you come to rescue people, we can catch more. If you don't come to rescue people, it would be good for us to lurk. As long as the leader meeting is over, there will be more manpower. That's it. Go ahead, Juss, Patrick."
"Method is a good way."
"but--"
The two nobles looked at each other, each seeing the other's worries.
"This time in time is equally sensitive to us."
"Every move of the territorial council may become a bellwether for the nobles. If the nobles think that we...we..."
"Just say it straight away. The situation of the nobles is very bad. Maybe it won't be long before the nobles will become history." Ashi interrupted the two people's deliberations without any explanation.
"Become history?" Yuna became more and more confused as she listened - politics and history have always been her weaknesses.
So, two good students, Kurt and Altina, one on the left and one on the right, began to give her extra lessons and analysis, such as the people's willingness to abolish privileges, the impact of the failure of the civil war, the pressure of the imperial government, etc.
Jussis and Patrick were even more silent. They were in their positions and pursuing their own affairs. When they were students, they could speak freely and do some extraordinary things, but now that they have become the duke's agent and the de facto responsible for the territorial council, they You must sit in the corresponding position and think about things.
Claire had expected this and winked at Li En. Li En understood it and was about to persuade her as agreed. Miao Jie, who had been sitting quietly beside her drinking tea, suddenly said:
"Indeed, the Albarea family and the Haynes family are the weathervanes of the nobility, but this is the sea capital. If it is the weathervane, Duke Kane is the biggest one, even if he is acting as Duke Kane. Now, instructor, Do you think that if we report this to that person, will he agree?"
Li En: "..."
Claire: "..."
Jussis, Haynes: "..."
Silence is still silence, and the expression and atmosphere have obviously changed.
Miriam put her hands on the table and stood up: "I see, the current agent is the old man who spent his own money to make train guns to please the regular army. I remember correctly, they were delivered recently... If it is How could he refuse Claire's request?"
Miriam's thoughts are also shared by everyone. In the final analysis, this is the question of who will take the blame.
Jussis and Patrick cannot bear this responsibility, but Marquis Ballard can. That guy's reputation among the nobility and the people was in shambles. Rumors that he was a dog raised by the imperial government had been circulating for more than a year.
If someone says he did it, not only will some people believe it, but they won't find it strange either.
It's a very simple truth. Some people take what normal people say seriously. If you take what Silly Que says seriously, are you also Silly Que?
Jussis wanted to laugh when he thought of this, Patrick and Rean were already laughing, and finally Claire also laughed.
The smile was somewhat unscrupulous.
I'll take the benefits, but you'll take the blame.
Seeing this sent chills down the spines of the boys and girls, especially after Ash quietly explained the reason, the chills turned into a common thought.
The adult world is so dirty!
