"Duke de Nordrian?"
Edmond Dantès frowned when he saw this surname.
Bowang, who had always been observing words and expressions, noticed it immediately.
"Do you still know the Duke's family?" He was a little surprised.
However, as we all know, the Duke is an old noble and a favorite in the court. He should be a die-hard royalist, right? How could it be related to the agent of the Bonaparte family?
Could it be that the Duke looks mediocre, but is actually very wise and foolish, secretly hedging his bets?
When he thought of this, Bo Wang was horrified.
He shouldn't think about it any further.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, this is an absolute taboo. If you go to find out more about it, you will definitely not live long.
And this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.
So, he quickly and skillfully stopped talking, waiting for the opinion of the Count of Monte Cristo.
Edmond Dantès did not notice anything unusual about Bowen. His attention was now focused on the Duke's family.
He always knew that the Duke and Tanglar knew each other, otherwise Agnes would not have been able to take him to see Tanglar so easily. However, he did not expect that the Duke turned out to be the big depositor behind Tanglar.
Agnes probably didn't know this either, otherwise she would have told herself before introducing her to visit Danglars.
This is trouble.
Obviously, if he launches his plan, Tanglar Bank will soon face a concentrated run, and the bank will become extremely tight. Then its large depositors will suffer huge losses if they do not act fast enough.
Of course he didn't care about the Duke himself, but how could he bear to let Agnes and her family suffer misfortune because of him?
So we should find ways to prevent it.
But how to stop it?
Visit or write a letter? This is absolutely not possible.
If he did this, it would be tantamount to exposing himself. Once the Count of Monte Cristo showed up, he would definitely be arrested by the Duke as a major suspect.
And how should I explain all this? It would be even more stupid to tell the whole plan.
So what should be done? Should the plan be temporarily suspended?
He was confused for a moment.
"Mr. Earl, do you have any concerns?" Bowang realized something was wrong even more, so he asked again.
This question made Edmond Dantès wake up.
No, can't stop!
Bowang spent an unknown amount of time and effort on constructing this plan, but when the matter came to an end, he casually paused. What would he think? Wouldn’t it be very chilling? Then how could he continue to be so loyal to the Bonaparte family?
And, what would he think of himself? A useless loser who is unworthy of friendship?
It's like a soldier who is fighting on the battlefield. He has pressed the bullet into the barrel of the gun and raised it flatly to point at the enemy. Can he still put his finger down from the trigger?
Absolutely not.
Edmond Dantès asked himself, although he was very reluctant to cause trouble to Miss Agnes, no matter what, his mission and his loyalty to His Majesty still came first.
Because Your Majesty is the benefactor who saved my life and changed my destiny, I cannot fail to live up to him no matter what.
So... do it!
Even if I feel sorry for Miss Agnes, I have to do it. The worst thing I can do is find a way to make up for it later.
At the last moment, he came up with a compromise idea - he would discuss it with the Marquis of Treville and let him think of a solution.
After all, the Marquis of Treville is the son and daughter-in-law of the Duke. Although the relationship between the two in-laws is not good, there will always be some way to contact him.
"I have no worries, everything is going according to plan." After making up his mind, he calmly ordered to Bowang, "Mr. Bowang, you are a professional, and during this period of dealings, I have seen that in this field, What an outstanding talent you are... So, don't worry about other things, just go ahead and do it! Your Majesty and I will see every achievement of yours. Please rest assured, no one has ever said that so far Your Majesty is ungrateful, and you will never be so ungrateful again."
Bowang didn't know what the count was thinking about just now, and he didn't want to go into details. Since the count had agreed, he had no worries.
If this plan is successfully implemented, he will leave a large mark on the Bonaparte family's credit book (although this 'contribution' will never be made public); and, because of his 'contribution to Being foresighted about the market trend will also establish a higher prestige in front of the boss and colleagues, and may even establish the successor position in one fell swoop; in addition, if the operation is done well, it may also allow him to make a lot of money.
One arrow kills three, why not?
Bo Wang, who was usually indifferent to emotions and anger, couldn't help but have a sinister and cheerful smile on his lips when he thought of this, but it quickly disappeared.
Tangglar Bank is a piece of plump fresh meat that will soon be cut into pieces and eaten alive by him.
"I understand." Bowang raised his head and looked at the Earl solemnly. For a moment, his honest and chubby face was filled with a bit of brilliant poetry, "I also tell you, Earl, I am a professional In twenty years, no boss or customer has ever been disappointed with me."
After Edmond Dantès and Bowen discussed for a while, Edmond took his leave.
However, he did not rush home. Instead, he took a carriage directly and secretly visited the Marquis of Treville's house.
As a distinguished guest, he was naturally brought to the Marquis' presence quickly.
"Sir, what do you want?" asked the Marquis.
"General, there is something that concerns your in-laws that I want to explain to you." Edmond Dantès started the conversation with this opening statement.
Then, he explained the incident to the Marquis of Treville in detail.
"General, I'm sorry that it has affected the Duke's family, but under the current circumstances, it is impossible for me to stop my plan. You should be able to understand me. I know that your relationship with the Duke is not very good, but I think you should There are also news channels that can inform him in advance, or even give him a hint. It would be great if it could help the Duke's family stop their losses as soon as possible."
After saying these words, he looked at the Marquis who had been listening silently.
However, what surprised him was that the Marquis' expression was very strange - not angry, nervous, or anxious, but more like...
Secretly delighted.
It wasn't even a chuckle, but a look that clearly couldn't hold back the laughter.
Then, under Edmund's astonished gaze, the Marquis of Treville actually burst out laughing.
He had always had a scheming and gloomy image in front of Edmund, but at this moment, the Marquis was unabashedly excited and proud.
"Hahaha..." While laughing, the Marquis sighed, "Have my fortunes turned out recently? Why do I always run into good things...? Hahahaha..."
Edmund was simply stunned. He never expected that the Marquis would react like this.
Could it be that his resentment towards his father-in-law has reached this point? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case.
After laughing for a while, the Marquis of Treville finally stopped laughing, and then he looked at Edmond Dantès happily.
"Earl, you must think that I am being very petty when I hold grudge against my in-laws so much, right? In fact, I tell you, I don't hold grudge against him at all, I just look down on them... Their family is mediocre reptiles, they are just lucky enough to have a good match. It’s just a lost place, it’s not worth my grudge.”
"Then why are you so happy?" Edmund was still puzzled. "Do you feel like you can finally show kindness to them?"
"Showing favors? No!" The Marquis's face darkened, and then he categorically denied the question, "I want to be silent, I want to watch that reptile lose a lot of money. Of course, this is not out of hatred for him, but out of hatred for him. With good intentions..."
"Good intentions...?" Edmund was so shocked that he almost suspected that the Marquis was crazy.
"From a general perspective, losing a lot of money is indeed unlucky, but don't you think this is also an opportunity?" The Marquis asked, "Their family has been favored by the king, and now they are blooming with flowers, but they look down on me. They even look down on the Bonaparte family, so they are unlikely to bow their heads and cooperate - but if they are in financial distress, the situation will be completely different. The worse they fall, the more likely they are to bow to the Bonaparte family. .Isn’t this a good thing?”
Edmund thought about it for a while. Although it could be justified, he still had a hard time agreeing with it.
"However, if Miss Agnes finds out that we are the instigators, I'm afraid she will be very angry——"
"So what if you are angry? Everyone is his own master. Can she blame us for anything?" The Marquis interrupted Edmund, "And, Edmund, do you think Agnes is willing to submit to His Majesty with her character?" ?”
Edmond Dantès pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Miss Agnes will certainly not wish to do so."
"So she needs some motivation from the family." The Marquis replied coldly. "If Duke Nordrian's family is in trouble, then they will not object to getting a little favor from the Bonaparte family - to be honest, whose gold is not gold? In the face of the brilliance of gold, everything else is It’s a side story, isn’t it?”
Edmond Dantes was speechless.
Logically speaking, what the Marquis said is absolutely correct. The more it hits the Duke's family, the more likely the Duke will submit to His Majesty. It may not be impossible to encourage his daughter to flatter His Majesty and seek reward.
But, how can I do this? They asked themselves, but they still felt that their conscience was too burdensome.
Miss Agnes was sincere and enthusiastic towards him. He always kept that kind of unreserved kindness in his heart. It would be fine if he didn't repay her kindness. How could he repay her with this?
"No, we can't do that." He shook his head, "Miss Agnes should not become an innocent victim."
"Edmund——" The Marquis looked at Edmund with a straight face, and then accidentally changed his title to shorten the distance between the two people, "Do you think I really wish her bad luck? ? No, I am as full of good intentions towards her as you are. In my opinion, she is a lovely junior and a shining gem. How can I bear to see her covered in dust? "
At this point, he changed the subject, "But if we silently watch the situation unfold, what will happen next? Your Majesty returns to France, and the die-hard royalists will either be imprisoned or exiled. Can you bear the thought of Agnes and her family facing such a difficult situation?" Is it such a disaster? I think that instead of this, it is better to make changes as soon as possible and find a way to prevent their family from being enemies of the Bonaparte family, so that they will not have to face the disaster that will bring about."
At this point, he increased his voice and became more and more powerful, "This is like training a wolf. We beat it half to death just to avoid killing it! The harder we beat it now, the harder they beat it. The sooner we can see the situation clearly, the more likely we are to avoid disaster! As for the monetary losses suffered, what does it matter? To His Majesty, it is just an injury that can be made up with a snap of the fingers, and it is not worth mentioning. "
Edmond Dantes listened quietly to the Marquis' explanation, and suddenly he felt as if he had been convinced.
Maybe the Marquis had his own selfish motives, but there was no flaw in his remarks.
For Miss Agnes, what is more terrible, the loss of property to her family, or being imprisoned and exiled? The answer is self-evident.
He also knew that His Majesty had always been thinking of Miss Agnes.
Assuming that he had facilitated this matter through some means, that would seem to be "loyalty".
When he thought of this, his original uneasy conscience seemed to gradually disappear.
"You are right." He nodded and looked at the other party with sincerity, "I'm sorry, General, I may not have thought carefully."
"It's nothing, you just lack a little experience. After all, I live longer." Marquis Treville shook his head indifferently, "In fact, you can come up with such a plan in private, which has proven that your ability is extremely high." It’s unusual. I suggest that you continue to do this and be a little more ruthless. You might as well ask your agent to see what kind of investments Duke Nordrian and his family are still making, and crack down on all the ones that can be cracked down on... ...As I said before, if you want to deal with it, be more ruthless. The more cruel we are today, the better we can get the best of both worlds. Being ruthless is humane!"
Because his mentality had been shaken, Edmond Dantès didn't feel much resistance when he heard the Marquis' murderous words.
He knew that the Marquis was right. As long as the Duke and his family jumped ship, His Majesty would have plenty of ways to make up for the losses with rewards in the future. So what would it matter if he hit him harder now?
After all, the general was still a veteran, and he was convinced that he could see through the true nature so easily.
"I understand, General, I will do my best -" He nodded heavily.
After the Count of Monte Cristo left, the excitement in the Marquis of Treville's mind still did not fade away, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.
The Treville family is always the most tenacious in their desire for revenge. He has long wanted to take revenge on his father-in-law who looked down on him, and now... he finally has the chance.
Nowadays, heaven and earth are all working together. Although he has never heard of this Eastern poem, he can clearly feel that the mysterious destiny is taking care of him.
It seems that God is now on the side of the Treville family.
