Public trial?You deserve it too!

That's just how he looks in front of the emperor!

He knew what kind of posture he should use to beg the emperor's mercy, and he also knew what kind of posture he should use so that the emperor would continue to give him opportunities to make him stand up.

Eliminating the traitors can only be regarded as a remedy after a dead sheep, but if the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can really achieve a decisive result in the war against the merchant alliance, then he can take the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, stepping on the corpses and blood everywhere, and win the crown of victory. Dedicated to the emperor!

And now, this opportunity was right in front of his eyes.

The Burning World: Chapter 239 Chapter 220 Chapter [-] Let the professionals come

Nicholas was very active, so he asked Claude to get Gutenberg that night.

At this time, any make-up lessons are fake, and no spy can learn everything in a few days-so as long as the confession is correct, everything else can be adjusted accordingly.

The confession between Nicholas and Gutenberg was very simple. Claude listened to it and thought it sounded familiar...

"You are Gutenberg, you have some hidden business routes and a group of people who are loyal to you, but you can't contact them now, so you need the business alliance to cooperate with you, give you a start-up fund, and be responsible for your travel expenses so you can activate them for your use..."

——So is it necessary to V him 50 later?

Oh no, today is not Thursday, then V me 317, Claude really wants to visit Jerusalem.

Claude is really not interested in these rhetoric, anyway, he has told Gutenberg in advance, and also gave a little clay figurine - the wedding gift he bought for Charles before was a pair of clay figurines, this one and Charles's wife The one in hand is exactly the same.

After all, he couldn't contact Gorman and the others later, so he could only use this method.

As for Nicholas, who was distracted, of course he wouldn't be able to take care of his affairs for a while—then who would he temporarily hand over the power to?

[So you're holding three places in your hand again?Poor Nicholas is really played by you between applause - the Breton Change that made him unlucky is the foreshadowing you planted, and this time the purge is also a free labor for you, even Gutenberg is no more It's because he is the one you want to send over, and now even the only three places in your hand have been handed over to you...]

"He has to thank us."

Claude didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

"Thank you, Claude!"

However, Director Nicholas's face was full of fluctuations. After all, the other party helped him find this opportunity to turn around, and even handed this card to him without hesitation. He had to do this.

"During this time, I need to trouble you to pay more attention to the matter of the three places. I can assist you from the side, but after all, I don't know whether the matter of Gutenberg can be achieved--so I will not tell His Majesty for the time being. , so as not to make an embarrassing explanation."

Of course, Claude understood what Nicholas meant, and what he said was nothing more than saying that what he is doing now is actually "not doing business properly". After all, the emperor gave him an order to clean up the rebellion. To engage in information lines.

If Claude didn't keep the door open, let the emperor know now, it means that Nicholas has no credit for doing Gutenberg well, but if it is smashed... then he may be punished After the autumn, the general ledger will be settled.

Therefore, he had to talk to his nominal deputy in a negotiating tone, because Gutenberg's new intelligence line was destined to be just icing on the cake, and it would be used to restore his impression—so the "brocade" of the cleansing , it is absolutely impossible to go wrong.

"Don't worry, Director Nicholas, I will listen to the opinions of those professionals in the first place."

Claude had a harmless expression on his face.

"People who are good at something do it - they are in charge of intelligence, I am only in charge of killing."

And soon, Chief Nicholas, who was nodding in relief, will know how good Claude is at "killing people".

-------------------------------------------------- -----

Countering counter-revolutionaries is an art.

The most important point in eliminating counter-revolutionaries is to completely destroy an anti-imperial organization.

You can't just kill the other party and use it as a scapegoat, that is equivalent to doing nothing, and you can't have one kill the other, this will only arouse the fear of others, and this kind of feeling is extremely prone to extremes-or beg for mercy in tears , or desperately resist.

For these people in the Intelligence Bureau, it is obviously easier to lead to the latter.

So killing people is only one of the most basic methods in eliminating counter-revolutionaries, and it is not even efficient at all-after all, this will only make people who have not been caught, but people with ghosts in their hearts start running around, and if they are evil If the raw ones start to resist, then it will be the turn of the counter-revolutionaries to have a headache.

And Claude happened to have a little experience on how to test the bottom line of these people's hearts.

For example, if you go to a place to kill a group of people, it will make them jump over the wall and fight you desperately; but if you start accepting bribes from them, then they will start to be a little reluctant to use "the money they earn" to buy their own. It's dead.

This is the temperament of imperial people who like to compromise (bushi)

Now, the emperor personally appointed Claude as the chief of the first department, and Nicholas was busy tossing the business alliance, so he handed over the positions of the three, or even most of the directors to Claude-of course these are facts, but These are also absolute secrets.

So if there is another explanation, for example, Claude is actually a favorite of the emperor. He was airborne after Nicholas did something wrong. Great, this kind of supervising army with great authority is a headache for everyone.

So now Director Nicholas is also suffering from a headache, so he can only hand over the inspection to Claude, so that he will not show off in front of him

——Is this explanation also reasonable?

So Claude almost swaggered through the market, taking cards and asking for cards along the way, threatening and extorting bribes, and doing everything in order to ask for money. He was so greedy that people felt that this guy was worthy of being a commoner. He couldn't walk when he saw money .

Of course, none of the people under review felt that Claude was really censoring. They just laughed at the scaremongering of the previous group, and even connected them to impeach Claude. Isn't this deliberately trying to pull everyone into the water?

Now that I think about it carefully, Claude's last job was as a receptionist, to accept the group of fat-headed nobles' territories, which was also a lucrative job - the colleagues who wanted to come to stay in the nobles' territories one by one It was also a mouthful of oil, but when the emperor sent people to snatch it, he was a little unhappy.

He deserved it, he didn't even know when he could get any money, Chunchun was stupid.

So everyone put their hearts back in their stomachs, entertained Claude with a smile, then filled Claude's carriage with gaudy artwork and unpretentious gold coins, and sent this "Master Imperial Envoy" away .

After three months of dawdling like this, Claude announced with satisfaction that the inspection was over, and prepared to return to the imperial capital with his fully loaded private carriage.

Then everyone was frightened silly by the speed of the other party.

Starting from the finish line, Claude arranged the manpower along the way, together with the manpower of the local garrison, he completed the journey that he had completed in the previous two months in just ten days, arresting everyone on the list in these places to hand.

These people can't even deliver the message - because Claude's Knights are running faster than the messenger!Coupled with the orders received by various stations to block roads and news, the entire three branches of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau were caught off guard almost by surprise.

As for why only two-thirds of the way back...

Of course, it was because Nicholas was caught in the order of Claude's progress, but he had fewer people than Claude's Knights, so he had a lot less responsibility.

It's been three months, and there is no one in Nicholas, and the work on Gutenberg's side has also been done, so in order to show the emperor that he is really working, he must bring people out to catch a circle of performance.

Just like that, the two of them led a team of tens of thousands of people back to Cuosen, which is next to the imperial capital.

This is the meaning of the emperor. After the two men finished their work, they announced the good news to the emperor, and the emperor sent them from the capital - because Claude did not report the plan before, so the emperor just found out that they had caught so many people. .

Unlike the people on the side of the big nobles, the suppression of counter-revolutionaries within the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is a scandal. The three people who add oil and vinegar become tigers, and the empire clearly announced to the world, this is incomparable.

Therefore, the survivors they caught could not be returned to the imperial capital, but had to be escorted to Cuosen.

This is the residence of the Fifth Guards Knights, and also the location of the General Staff of the Imperial Army. Because the army is not allowed to enter the city, this is a huge barracks - there is no better place to block the outside line of sight than here.

"The number of captives here is really unexpected."

Claude rubbed his chin. He was a little surprised to find that the thousands of people he and Nicholas escorted back were just a few splashes when they were stuffed into the original prisoner-of-war camp. None of the military camps is as big as this prisoner-of-war camp.

"It was just expanded. It was not originally used to detain the people we arrested."

Nicola explained.

"These are people from the noble territories of various places, or knights, or caravans, or civil servants, or some civilians who have been brainwashed-after all, they are not on the battlefield of the imperial capital, and they will be killed if they are killed at that time Yes, he is a traitor after all."

"However, the number of these people is too large, and they don't really have the intention to betray the empire, so they were just arrested and waited for our review before deciding who should be executed, who should be exiled, and who should be released without charge. .”

The chief of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau sighed. He was responsible for the expansion of this place at that time. The review work according to the plan should also be the work of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. But now that the situation has collapsed in all three places, where can we go to review these various things? Where's the guy?

"No wonder, I said that I saw a lot of knights. It turned out to be the remnants of the nobles' rebellion."

Claude nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, these nobles with fiefs are desperately trying to form knights loyal to themselves. Although these large and small knights cannot be compared with the regular knights of the empire, the strength and number of knights are also uneven, but It also attracted some civilian knights or veteran knights."

Nicholas' voice sounded like he was having a headache, and he obviously hadn't figured out how to deal with these people.

"One or two is nothing, but adding them all together, the number is a bit scary, so they can only be placed in Tsosen, so that they will be guarded by the Fifth Guard Knights, so that there will be no major troubles—but this It’s not a solution, the duty of the five close cavalry is to defend the imperial capital, not to be a prisoner-of-war camp guard.”

This is true. After all, there are tens of thousands of knights and followers here, all of whom have magical powers and have received certain training.Although the number of knights in the empire is large enough, killing these tens of thousands of people suddenly is an extremely serious internal friction.

Not to mention that there must not be many people among them who really swear allegiance to the nobles. Everyone takes money to do things. Whose money is not taken? Isn’t the military salary issued by the empire also money?

So the emperor probably wanted to distinguish these people. After all, even if they were not organized into knights and scattered into the infantry and dragoons, it would be quite useful, which is equivalent to filling the infantry divisions. It's a trick to cheat the golden shield, which can greatly improve the combat power.

It's just that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau suddenly pulled his hips, and now the emperor's thoughts are stuck at the first step-that is, the censorship level is really impossible to go through.

After all, one is only responsible for the internal intelligence of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and the intelligence of each place actually depends on the three. Although it is said that in the three, besides trash, they are ghosts, but at least they still have to do things, and the intelligence of these people is naturally mastered. in their hands.

But now, the emperor didn't dare to use these information as the standard of review - after all, they had already infiltrated into wineries, and it was really easy to do something with the personal information of these knights.

If a person hides thousands of people from the opposite side without noticing, it will be the empire's blood to pay off the debt.

So the emperor didn't dare to use it, and he couldn't use it, but he couldn't just let it go, let alone kill them all.

So much so that the rebellion has passed for more than four months, and these people are still locked up here, and no one comes in or goes out.

"So, it's really a f*cking trouble."

Claude sighed, but he had an idea about the situation in his heart.

"Yeah, I can't find out, so I can only let them stay here - I hope His Majesty can find a good way to deal with them in the future, after all, it is still a little too close to the imperial capital, and it is more or less a safety hazard. .”

As Nicholas said, he took Claude to the direction of the imperial capital.

The emperor summoned them to an audience.

But it's not surprising, this time the two of them can be said to have done a pretty good job. They didn't cause turmoil across the country, and didn't let many people escape.

The Burning World: Chapter 240 Chapter 220 Chapter [-] Punishment Camp

"This time, well done."

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. At least in the past few months, it was the first time that Claude saw the emperor's expression so relaxed and satisfied.This shows that no matter what the current situation is, at least the emperor has really come out of Augustus' rebellion and suicide, and the degree of paranoia has returned to a stable level.

This also made Claude breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it doesn't matter if the paranoia is really up. After all, it is being cleaned up-but if this is the midnight system, give him a [The thread is broken..... .], then he will be unable to stretch himself.

"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

Nicholas said humbly, and Claude followed behind Nicholas, acting like a replica with no emotions.

"The main reason is that the plan proposed by Knight Claude paralyzed everyone, so this time the counter-revolutionary can be so smooth, I just help him."

"Oh? This is actually a plan proposed by Sir Claude? I didn't expect you to have unique insights into this aspect, Sir Claude."

The emperor was now a little interested in details.

He originally thought that this strategy was proposed by Nicholas—the most wonderful part of the whole operation was this magical stroke of catching people from the tail. The arrest was done in one go, without giving the other party any time to connect or react.

"I just applied the way of the general formation to the eradication of counter-revolutionaries, and I don't have any unique insights."

Claude said neither humble nor overbearing.

"To cover up one's own intentions, to paralyze the enemy's thoughts, and finally to launch a thunderous offensive, this is the most basic tactical strategy—on the contrary, Director Nicholas, who has thought through the entire plan and made up for all the details, should be the most commendable."

"Knight Claude is too modest. I am only able to handle the details because of my rich experience. It is the most commendable to propose this method. Even I, I couldn't jump out of the cage at the beginning. I am really ashamed."

Nicholas immediately began to blow each other's business.

"Okay, I know, both of you have made merit, and the rewards have already been approved."

The emperor said with a smile.

"Mr. Nicholas, I know that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is likely to be devastated after this heavy blow, but the national war is imminent, and you must shoulder this burden—although the three places have disappeared, and I don't have the energy to rebuild them now, but other You must pay close attention to several external institutions, and don’t let other people take advantage of them.”

"I understand."

Nicholas's heart is like a mirror, and this time the test has finally passed - but obviously the emperor still warned him, after all, the three inner places are rotten from the root, so the fourth and sixth places outside, I'm afraid It's not much better, so the information they sent back...

It really is a heavy burden, dancing with shackles, you can't relax at all.

The director sighed in his heart, but he was determined to bury Gutenberg's line a little deeper, and he couldn't even notify the six offices—this is the key card for him to turn around, and he should not notify one person at this time , less risk.

Looking at the emperor's appearance, it seemed that he had something else to say to Claude, and Nicholas immediately resigned sensibly.

When the man left, only Claude and the emperor were left in the imperial study.

"Christina left the imperial capital with Sir Albert, and went to the newly incorporated noble territory to rectify. During this time, you should live in Ludwig's manor. Letitia is 16 years old. The relationship between you The marriage contract is about to be fulfilled, so spend as much time with her as possible."

The emperor's tone was much more cordial.

"After all, there will be a war soon. Once the war starts, you, as the general of the empire, will not have much time to stay with her—I like these two granddaughters very much, so I don't want their marriage to be unhappy. You are a man, sometimes you have to be more accommodating."

Claude dealt with the emperor with a confused face. He didn't understand what the emperor meant. He made himself better for Leticia, which is fine—but why did he have to add Christina to the sentence? ?

Especially the last sentence, how accommodating should I be?

Who do you accommodate?Your Majesty, you were talking about [my two granddaughters].

Not right, very wrong.

Claude realized that something strange had happened.

But he came to see the emperor this time, but he had other goals he wanted to achieve, so even though he felt a little problem, he still bit the bullet and pretended it didn't exist.
