Chapter 336 Lighting up the toilet
Chapter 336 Lighting up the toilet
When Marcel arrived at a noble mansion in the city, the ball inside had already begun, but the atmosphere of the ball was a bit depressing.
When the old party members saw Marcel coming, they gathered around him and began to ask about his well-being.
With the arrival of Marcel, the party quickly got into its main topic and everyone began to analyze the situation in the royal capital.
The main reason is that the current governor is too harsh on the nobles, and the forces in the north are too strong, squeezing the living space of the nobles in the royal capital.
Hearing the nobles' complaints, Marcel snorted coldly, "Are you trying to help Augustine take the throne?"
The nobles shook their heads and said, "You are such a joke. Augustine is finished. Do you think His Majesty Cliff is still in charge?"
"Oh? So what do you want to do? Don't tell me that you really asked me to come here just to watch you dance."
Seeing that Marcel was getting impatient, the nobles stopped keeping him in suspense and said, "Sir Marcel, don't you think those officials from the North are too overbearing?"
"That's right. Aren't those officials from the North relying on the fact that they followed the Governor-General earlier, pointing fingers at the nobles in our capital?"
"Besides, the Lars family is now so powerful that it is hard to tell whether this kingdom belongs to the Governor or the Lars family!"
At this time, a former noble of the Old Party said cautiously: "Your Majesty is still Augustine now..."
But no one paid attention to this speech. These nobles expressed indignation that they wanted to help Linde break free from the shackles of the Lars family.
Marcel also understood that these people were incompetent and did not dare to take action against the Governor, so they began to have evil intentions and wanted to exclude those officials from the North, especially the Lars family, to ensure their base in the royal capital.
It sounds reasonable, because the power of the Lars family is indeed too great, and many of the senior executives have the surname Lars. This is also related to the fact that there were really no talented people around Lind at the beginning.
The main reason is that Marcel couldn't guess what Linde was thinking and what his attitude towards the Lars family was.
After all, although the Governor is nominally the head of the Lars family, do you want to say that the Lars family poses no threat to the Governor? As these old party nobles said, if this continues, the kingdom will not know what the family name is. So if there is a good opportunity, Marcel thinks that the Governor may not be unwilling to crack down on those people of the Lars family.
Marcel then asked, "So what? Do you have any leverage over the Lars family?"
One of the nobles shook his head.
"Have you heard the news that the Governor is going to take action against the Lars family?"
The nobles still shook their heads.
"Then what are you going to do?"
At this time, these nobles finally spoke up and asked, "Sir Marcel, have you heard the recent rumors about the tower?"
Marcel nodded and said, "Many high-level professionals have already returned to Capet. I recently heard from the Governor-General that he is trying to find a way to control those high-level professionals."
"That's right. The management is not very strict now, so there are actually some high-level professionals lurking in the capital."
Hearing the noble say this, Marcel suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the noble continued, "The Governor is actually not that dependent on the power of the Lars family now, and the power of the Lars family now mostly relies on the Governor's wife."
"Although the Governor has no intention of replacing the people around him, Sir Marcel, do you think there is a possibility that the situation will be reshuffled after the death of the Governor's wife?"
Hearing this, Marcel broke out in a cold sweat. If you want to die, don't drag me into it!
But the nobles seemed unsatisfied with this and continued, "The Governor's wife also has a younger sister. Although she is still young, in order to prevent the Lars family from being shameless..."
At this time, some other nobles who were called over like Marcel asked, "Are you sure? The Governor's wife is a sixth-rank knight. Although the Governor's wife is mainly researching weapons now, it doesn't mean that she is powerless."
"So we have to ask those high-level professionals who have been lurking in the capital for help. Everyone, do you still remember the Black Crow Secret Party?"
Although the Black Crow Secret Party's assassination attempt in the North failed, the assassination attempt in the Royal Capital was successful. Moreover, now that the high-level professionals of the Black Crow Secret Party have returned, the success rate of the assassination has greatly increased.
For a moment, Marcel's stupidity attack came on. If this was ever discovered, his scalp started to tingle. But if you say these nobles are stupid, they actually knew that this high-level professional had sneaked into the royal capital. The time period when the royal capital's protection measures were not in place was the perfect window period. If the Governor really managed those high-level professionals in the future, there would be no such window period again.
Originally, Marcel thought that this group of nobles had heard some rumors and wanted to simply crack down on the overly powerful Lars family. This was normal, and even the governor would turn a blind eye.
But I didn’t expect that these nobles were lighting a lamp in the toilet - looking for shit!
"Not only that, in order to prevent exposure, the Black Crow Secret Party did not ask us to pay immediately. We only need to provide financial assistance to the Black Crow Secret Party from time to time, and we can also use other methods to repay the debt."
So that's how it is. It will be difficult to be exposed this way. Marcel also heard that if the plans of these nobles really succeeded, the Black Crow Secret Party could also use this method to control the nobles of the royal capital and interfere in politics.
"Sir Marcel, this is all for the future of our royal nobles. We must unite!"
The nobles looked at Marcel's decision with great anticipation.
But after a moment of silence, Marcel asked, "Gentlemen, do you think it is possible that many nobles in the capital were able to escape disaster because of the protection of the Governor's wife?"
"Is it possible that there are many people who belong to the Governor's wife even in the army?"
"Everyone, I'm a little confused after listening to your opinions."
......
At this time in the royal capital, Raven, a high-level professional who had returned from the Black Crow Secret Party, was overlooking the entire royal capital from the bell tower of a church. Although the royal capital's defenses were more solid than during Augustine's reign, it made no difference to a top assassin like Raven.
Although he still didn't know what the final result of the nobles' discussion would be, Raven knew that once the nobles began to hesitate, there would be no turning back, and he would manipulate these nobles and become the man behind the scenes of this country.
When they arrived in the secular world, undercurrents began to surge among the high-level professionals who were no longer restrained. Raven decided to strike first. As long as he controlled the center of a country, he would have as many resources as he wanted.
Just when Raven felt his feet were sore from standing and was wondering why the nobles had not finished their discussion, a group of people slowly stepped into the royal capital.
A group of Lars knights wearing huge and powerful armor were talking to two people. Although both sides were still a little wary, it could be seen that they were at least communicating normally.
Raven's eyes widened immediately. Aren't those two people Myron and Sidney?
Myron has always been relatively honest, and it was normal for him to communicate calmly with the Lars knights, but that arrogant Sidney seemed to have been beaten up. He now had a bruised face and followed Myron obediently.
Isn't this right? There weren't any high-level professionals among those Lars knights. Could it be that Myron had beaten them? The two of them were inseparable, so how could Myron bear to do it?
So who else has the ability to beat that Thunder Sidney like this?
Something was wrong. The raven was keenly aware that something was wrong.
