Is it important to let Wu Ke play a young Victorian businessman who loses money here and come up with some inducing evidence?
Important, but not the most important, this behavior mainly made Normans suspicious of going to the casino, and the real trump card was the huge benefits represented by the casino itself.
If it was just Normans, he would not be able to interfere in the business here even if he wanted to, but what if he added those guys whose vaults were also stolen?
There is almost no doubt that the Viscount will definitely contact those people and then join forces with them to seize the territory here.
Therefore, when setting up a trap here, the money stolen from the vault is one of the baits, and the huge benefits represented by the casino are the second one that lures out Normans’ greed.
As long as the other party is greedy enough, then this set will be half the trap.
However, if the old and new parties, which have moved their disputes behind closed doors, are to quarrel again, it depends on the old party.
If Earl Carter is uncooperative and tolerant, there will be no fight.
. . .
In the evening, Normans called Hiboril to him.
"Are you sure that the treasury robber is from here?"
"Lord Viscount, I am not sure. I can only say that it is a possibility."
As a young man who makes small moves behind the scenes, Xiboril would not be stupid enough to reply with a certain and urgent answer to a guy who is seriously suspected of being ill and who knows how to create checks and balances in the army.
She showed a serious look, but inadvertently revealed important inducement information.
"After all, the old party has never dealt with us. Moreover, according to my investigation, it seems that they have always had an unclear relationship with the guerrilla group operating in the snowfield. The Viscount should have been involved in the theft of supplies not long ago. still remember."
"Well said, the old party is the cancer of Ursus. It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor is still too kind and did not execute all those guys after he ascended the throne. Those guys can be forgiven for living in the new era, but they do not want to serve the empire. , serve His Majesty the Emperor, but instead engage in small tricks in secret, which is really abominable..."
Listening to Viscount Normans's series of insults, Hibberil rolled his eyes in his heart. When the new emperor of Ursus came to power to deal with the old party, it was also to consolidate his dominance.
In the end, the old party forces that were beaten to pieces were taken in to check and balance the expanding new party forces.
In terms of means, it is similar to what this person did in the army. The only difference may be the details of scale and checks and balances.
"You are absolutely right."
Xiboril echoed, and Normans nodded with satisfaction. Although this person was not his confidant, he was considered a very capable and expert in the army, and he could always make him feel satisfied.
"You will be solely responsible for the treasury robber. As for whether the treasury robber will be caught in the end, and whether the treasury robber is from Earl Carter's side, I don't think I need to tell you. You should also know what to do, right?"
Er Wu Zai felt happy in his heart, with a loyal look on his face: "Yes, my subordinates know."
. . . .
Earl Carter received the news earlier than Viscount Normans, but he did not come as hastily as Viscount Normans.
Your Excellency, the Earl, first sent someone to investigate the situation, and then sent the butler over to negotiate.
The steward arrived one day after Viscount Normans led the army to Karnes City.
"My master has deep sympathy for the theft incident you suffered, Your Excellency the Viscount. He is willing to return the stolen money that the casino mistakenly collected, but he can only go so far. If you want to occupy the casino, he will go to Ni Margrave Konov calls the shots.”
Marquis Nikonov is the centrist who is on top of the old and new parties. As the current emperor, he is responsible for controlling the power of the two parties in the north.
"Returning the stolen money is a matter of course. As for occupying the casino, this is a misunderstanding. But before the matter is investigated clearly, this place must be under my control.
I believe that even if Marquis Nikonov knows about this, he should understand this and understand that we victims urgently need the truth! "
After learning Normans's reply from the butler, Earl Carter was able to remain calm, but the people around him could not remain calm, especially those who managed the casino and had interests involved in it.
The next day, several related minor nobles came to the door and complained. During the few days that the casino was occupied, they heard the news that the managers of the casino had been replaced.
"I heard that the casino is ready to reopen. Viscount Normans is not chasing the thieves at all, but is preparing to eat up your casino. Lord Carter, you can't just sit idly by!"
The person who spoke was related to Earl Carter as his seventh aunt and eighth uncle. This little aristocrat's family relied on the income from the management of the casino to maintain their dignity, so they were most anxious.
Of course Earl Carter knew what Normans was thinking, but he had nothing to do. In the dispute between the old and new parties, the old party was originally at a disadvantage. Even though it had surrendered to the current emperor, it still had different factional positions.
If Normans alone wanted to occupy the casino, he could easily chop off the opponent's extended hand.
However, the other party used the excuse of investigating the treasury thief and united with other new party forces to suppress it. In order to prevent the dispute from escalating to a more serious situation, Earl Carter could only swallow his anger.
Apart from openly informing Marquis Nikonov of the Central Conciliation Faction, and secretly tracking down the so-called treasury robber at the same time, there was no other way, and he was very passive.
And this situation of indifference did not change until someone came to the Earl's Mansion, and that was a little person.
"You said you are a survivor of the Cass Gang and have important news to inform the Earl?"
The visitor was received by the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion.
“It’s not about informing, it’s about selling.”
The person who came was a young man. There was a gap in his black bear ears. At first glance, he knew he was a fierce guy.
"If the information you bring is useful to the earl, the earl will not be stingy with the reward."
Two streets away from the Earl's Palace, a car with NG spray paint was parked there, but it was the car that was lucky enough to break out from the wolf cavalry siege in Xiboril.
The young man's name is Notwa, and he is the small leader of the Cass gang, which is a third-rate gang in Karnes City.
Of course, now this third-rate gang has been eliminated. It was Xiboril's Wolf Cavalry troops who took action. On the night the Wolf Cavalry entered the city, they wiped out a wave of gang forces overnight.
"I've seen it all. That fat sheep with a large amount of money is just a bait, and he is in the same group with the army that shamelessly attacked us!"
Notwa told what happened that day.
"I don't know if this information is useful to the Earl. If it is, I think the remaining members of the Cass Gang will help the Earl to find out some more useful information. All it takes is a hefty reward."
The young man left the Earl's Mansion with Earl Carter's reward in his hand.
"Your Majesty the Earl..."
The butler stood beside Earl Carter.
Earl Carter had a gloomy look on his face. He had just been listening in the room next to him.
"You go contact Viscount Merck, Baron Wien and others. I need to have a good discussion with them. In addition, I need to investigate the guy just now to see if his identity is true."
The butler must have retreated. The information brought by a little person made Lord Carter's heart fluctuate greatly.
If the treasury theft incident was directed and acted by Normans, then this is a conspiracy against the factional forces of the old party, and he has to treat it with caution.
Just when the earl summoned the old party group, Notwa had already boarded the NG vehicle.
The vehicle started, and soon got rid of the pursuer behind it, and drove out of Carter City, which was also named after the surname, and arrived at a barren mountain in the wild.
In the naturally formed ice cave, Notva entered alone and met the person who asked to meet him.
Several figures in black robes stood on the other side of the ice cave. Apparently there was an exit passage there.
"I have told the earl what happened as you ordered. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise to me."
The two men in black robes in front looked at each other and pushed out from behind a guy tied with a rope and wearing a black hood.
"This is the person you want."
Notwa stepped forward and took off the black hood on the tied guy's head, revealing the appearance of the leader of the Cass Gang.
Looking at the gang leader who appeared in front of him, the gang leader who heard the conversation just now looked surprised.
After the linen was removed from his mouth, he said excitedly: "Notwa, I did not misjudge you. You are indeed a guy who values love and justice. Don't worry, the future leader of the Cass Gang will be, uh... "
Before he could finish his words, a fist hit him in the stomach.
"You don't think I want to save you, do you?"
Notwa smiled ferociously, and under the fearful gaze of the gang leader, he took out the dagger in his pocket.
"No, you can't do that. Don't forget who brought you out of that dirty slum and gave you a good life?"
"Yes, of course I remember, and I will also never forget that you abducted my sister."
The dagger stabbed into the opponent's stomach, and bright red blood flowed out directly.
Notva was born in the slums of Karnes City. His father died in the battlefield as a soldier, and his mother contracted ore disease while working.
After the New Deal came out, in order to prevent him and his sister from being taken to the mine together, the other party chose to leave the city alone and disappeared. Since then, Notwa and his sister have been living together in the slums.
But one day, when he went out to find work, his sister was taken away and abducted by the current leader of the Cass gang who had not yet taken the leadership position back then.
In order to find his sister and take revenge, he later joined the Cass gang to lurk and investigate.
"Tell me, where did you abduct that little girl from the slums ten years ago?"
The leader of the Cass gang fell down. He was stabbed thirteen times before losing his life. His blank and resentful eyes proved that this man had no memory of the little girl he had kidnapped.
After all, who can remember the bread they once ate?
"Notva, our deal is done."
"yes."
"But there is another deal, do you want to do it?"
"Not interested in."
Deceiving a noble is not a small crime. He has already obtained enough money from the earl, so it is the smartest thing to quickly leave this place that is obviously going to become a place of right and wrong.
"Of course, if you plan to kill me if I don't agree, I won't mind, but I have a few trustworthy subordinates who are not here."
He looked at the person opposite with some caution.
"We're not going to burn bridges."
The man in black robes in front said.
"That's good, our deal is over."
The young man with black bear ears was ready to leave.
"What if there is news about your sister in the new transaction?"
"What?"
"After the Cass gang was wiped out, some accounts were found, including human trafficking."
"I want that, what do you need from me?"
Notwa stared. After so many years, he actually no longer had much hope of finding his sister. He only kept her for revenge.
"It's hard to find someone based on the accounts alone, and it's useless even if you get them."
The man in black robe shook his head.
"Then what do you mean?"
Notwa frowned.
"Join our organization. You are a talent. The military advisor admires you very much. If you agree, the military advisor promises to use the power of the organization to help you find traces of your sister within his ability, regardless of whether the other party is alive or dead. Even if you die, there will be an explanation."
The people under the black robes reveal the unique wolf ears of the Lupo tribe. They are the second and fifth division, or it can also be called the latent espionage division.
. . . .
Ever since he became the second-fifth son and benefited from it, Xiboril has paid attention to the power of the second-fifth son.
Especially after being inexplicably pulled into an organization that obviously wanted to do big things and might possibly get him killed.
Her potential was fully unleashed, and in a short period of time, she created a second- and fifth-level intelligence lurking department.
And a third-rate gang leader named Notwa is the target that this department is trying to exploit in the first 25th mission.
I originally wanted to get rid of him after using him, but I unexpectedly discovered that he was actually a talented person.
"It's a good thing that he can agree, but finding a job for his sister has to be put on the agenda."
Looking at the full schedule next to him, Xiboril felt that he might die suddenly due to overwork one day.
"However, there is a secret plot against the old party now, and the plan to stir things up should be more effective."
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, there was a knocking sound on the window.
Xiboril's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran to open the window, and a figure floated in.
"I have some work and need your help."
Wu Ke: "..."
Who is the tool man?
"I need you to help me find someone based on this information."
