Public trial?You deserve it too!

The position of Governor of Provence indeed has a lot of things in his hands, but there are not many that can be left to give to the imperial capital.The reason is very simple, most of those things are to be sent to the province of Turin to make "friends" in the army for the First Prince.Then counting the empire's fiscal and taxation, the nobles had to keep their accounts privately, and the actual funds handed over to Augustus every year were not very much.

But once Provence was lost, two problems popped up.

First of all, the most fatal point, Augustus lost a reasonable and compliant way to reach into the most important military region of the empire. From then on, the province of Turin was almost isolated for him, without the curtain of Provence, As a prince, how dare he openly give gifts and bribes to exchange feelings with the generals?

Secondly, a large number of votes were hooked up by him with his interests. The nobles in the Provence region who had been fully loyal to him were directly cooked up by the old emperor this time. Almost every family was ransacked and beheaded. The land directly under the emperor.

The combination of these two points directly caused Augustus' own power to shrink extremely seriously.Although he has the support of the great nobles, the difference between the strength in their hands and the strength in his own hands, of course the eldest prince understands

So compared with the above two points, he suggested that the governor of Provence sent some money to the chief of the third branch of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, which caused the chief who had just shown a little kindness to him to be hung outside the palace to do such a thing, which is almost nothing. What's up.

The emperor killed very ruthlessly, but forbade others to continue the investigation, which indicated that the matter ended here.Although there is also a reason why I really just want to send money and let the other party turn a blind eye in the Provence area, but in the end it was pressed.

"Isn't it a little too hasty during this time... The intelligence agency and Provence are all stern warnings!"

Augustus rubbed his brows, sighed, then calmed down his face, stood up, and opened the door of the study.

"Come on."

"Your Highness, do you have anything to order?"

"Go and invite Gutenberg to my estate."

"Yes, Your Highness."

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

Sitting in the carriage, the man in robes watched a waiter hurriedly leave on horseback from the First Prince's manor, and nodded slightly.

"Come on, we can go back."

"Yes."

The carriage moved slowly, and then the woman in the carriage closed the window, cast the enchantment of tranquility, and looked at the robed man quietly.

"Okay, our Highness Augustus has taken the bait."

The robed man leaned lazily on the soft cushion. This action surprised the woman. Although the behavior of this boss has indeed become more and more human-like in the past few months, such natural laziness, It still made her, who was used to her cold and harsh boss before, feel unreal.

"Take the bait? Didn't you say before that it is impossible for Augustus to agree to more cooperation with us, and those trade routes are the compensation you are going to give to Augustus?"

The woman asked with some doubts.

Logically speaking, this kind of question should not be asked by a veteran intelligence officer, but the strange thing is that this adult who is in charge of the entire Theocracy's intelligence agency has a very weird hobby, that is, after designing something , Sometimes he will ask someone to explain it in detail.

'My teacher told me that if a strategy is implemented and no one knows it is implemented, it will be considered a success, but the price is that the person who planned it will have no sense of accomplishment, so if necessary, find a trustworthy person to explain it. Once again, this will at least make yourself more comfortable. '

The woman still remembered herself as a little girl back then, and she was stunned after hearing this explanation, but she still firmly grasped the key point, which is "a trustworthy person".

So she has never formed a party, nor has she had close relationships with anyone. In exchange, it is natural that countless people in the Theocracy are full of awe for her, because everyone knows that there is an adult standing behind her.

But in fact, she was just listening to the lord's cold narration, and she couldn't get any response to her questions or compliments, but she never slacked off on these two things.On the contrary, recently, the robed man seemed to be satisfied with her reaction.

"It is indeed compensation, but it is also a bait, and this bait will be enough to the point that this big fish cannot refuse." The man in the robe stretched out a finger and shook it, "You know the cooperation between us and the First Prince , is actually hiding it from everyone, right?"

"That's right, even Leichter, the chief staff member under Augustus himself, kept it a secret."

The woman replied respectfully.

"Then why?"

The woman frowned slightly, carefully recalling the old man's information.

"I remember that Leichter seems to be dedicated to the country, and he is willing to serve Augustus because of this. It's just that he hates evil and hates anything that may be detrimental to the empire, so we avoided him when we first contacted him. The eldest prince never took the initiative to inform us about it."

"Yes, this is the first test of Augustus. If he really told Leicht about our cooperation, then this contact must only end here, and it is impossible for us to cooperate with him again. Augustus had any possibility of cooperation, but he didn't, which means that His Highness Augustus is a pure pragmatist."

The man in the robe looked out of the car window.

"This creates a dangerous rift between him and his greatest support, which also makes it possible for us to operate."

"Indeed...if we turn this matter to the bright side, Leicht will definitely be disappointed with Augustus no matter what. With Augustus' character, once he discovers this, then Leicht will I'm afraid he will be kicked out of his inner circle."

"Wrong, it is absolutely impossible for Augustus to drive Leicht out of his inner circle, because this person's loyalty and ability are absolutely impossible to replace, at least before he takes the throne, Leicht will It is a pragmatist choice to always serve as the chief of staff under his command."

The robed man shook his head.

"And it's too contrived for us to lift the lid, and there are too many traces. I'm afraid it will be regarded as a divorce, and it will be self-defeating."

"So what your lord means is that it's best for Leicht to be aware of this matter, and to expose it without any trace. It can make the other party think that we didn't let him know on purpose, and it can also make Augustus unaware. , so that the eldest prince will think that he has concealed it, while Leicht will think that the other party has betrayed his identity."

The woman immediately realized that if this was the case, with Leichter's upright personality, he might be able to do such things as deadly remonstrance.

"That's right, that's why I said, Augustus took the bait."

The robed man nodded, with an encouraging tone in his tone.

"Take the bait... That's right! The number of trade routes we have given is enough for Augustus to make up for the loss in Provence. This point, even if Gutenberg Barr is a business wizard, it is impossible to do so in such a way. It can be done in a short period of time! And for a huge force, whether its funds increase or decrease suddenly, it is equally suspicious."

The woman's voice became agitated.

"As the first adviser of the First Prince, Leicht will definitely find out about this problem, and as a nobleman, he looks down on businessmen the most, so he will definitely track it down, and these things, as long as you dig deep, you will definitely be able to find them. What is inappropriate, whether it is doing business with foreign races or having too much contact with business alliances, this will undoubtedly greatly damage Leicht's loyalty. After that, as long as he finds a little trace of the Theocracy, even if we Without much in-depth cooperation, he will definitely believe that there is something tricky between the First Prince and the Theocracy."

Pop, pop, pop.

The robed man clapped his hands.

"That's very good. For a person with a firm belief, the complete collapse of what he has always believed in is the most fatal. At that time, no matter whether Augustus drives out or keeps Leicht, the result will be the same , because this person has already been abolished. He will no longer be able to advise the eldest prince, because his heart is dead."

"Your Excellency is really exhaustive."

The woman praised sincerely, she has always said so, because this person has never done useless things.

Maybe it's useless to explain such things to her?

"In this way, it's almost done. Once Leichter falls, the rest of the loyal ministers under the First Prince's command will not be able to make a difference. At that time, when facing the nobles who seem to be in harmony with him, relying on us will be his only means of check and balance. "

The robed man took out the treaty he had drawn up with Augustus before, and ground it into powder.

"And this treaty, of course, has to be changed. Really, one or two signed the treaty and wanted to tear it up. Couldn't the old emperor have a child with a bit of contract spirit? It takes a lot of effort to start with the allies first."

The robed man clapped his hands and turned to look at the woman.

"I asked you to compile the list of suspects in Provence time, is it ready?"

"It's all here."

She quickly took out a piece of paper and handed it to her boss.

"Adeline Rupert, Eleanor Rupert, Dragurina Vlad, Gorman Meyer, Claude Kaos."

The robed man's interest was obviously piqued.

"I remember this Claude Kaos, he is the knight who destroyed Joachim's attack plan last time, right?"

"That's right, that's why we are indeed stepping up our efforts to investigate this person. After all, you once taught me that any subconscious thing that is considered to be a coincidence must first assume that he is not a coincidence, and then investigate."

The woman took out a document that clearly stated all the information about Claude.

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 80 Reward Statistics

According to the previous agreement, the recommendation and the monthly ticket helped everyone enter one, and the extra balance from the reward and the blade is very small, so let’s add it together and count it as a change, so a total of 23 words is owed, and the repayment will start next month.

In order to keep updating, the detailed outline must be prepared in advance, and it will be sent after filling in at that time, so the update cannot be added before, and the debt must be repaid next month.

After each volume, a character review will be added to help everyone record the relationship and names of the characters.

That should be all.

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 81 Chapter 77 Isn't it so inconvenient to take the blame

"Claude Kaos...Kaos..."

The robed man pondered, as if he was thinking about something, the woman immediately lowered her head, not daring to disturb his thinking.

"After you go back, send a message to the Arbitration Hall and ask them to check the Kaos family."

"Yes, my lord."

The woman hesitated.

"My lord, shouldn't this surname be sent to the History Hall, where it may be easier to find? After all, the Arbitration Hall still focuses on intelligence, archives and the like, and the History Hall and the Pope's Library are more professional."

"No, the surname Kaos cannot be found in the History Hall, and I'm afraid it's at most mentioned in the Pope's library."

The robed man shook his head, but he didn't intend to continue talking.

"I'll do it as soon as I get back."

"Well, is there any other progress on Ludwig's side?"

The woman immediately took out a stack of official documents.

"My lord, most of the information has been obtained before. It seems that the third prince of the empire and his chief aide, Jung, really have nothing to hide. , found that there is indeed nothing suspicious, and now there is only one thing related to it, which arouses our suspicion."

"which one?"

"About Ludwig's eldest daughter, Princess Christina of Verdun."

The woman pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the robed man.

"This princess has been living in the manor on the outskirts of Ludwig's imperial capital for a long time due to her infirmity, but recently, we have found that the number and frequency of her Royal Highness's going out have increased sharply. And according to observation, there is no There is no sign of weakness or underlying disease."

"Oh? When did it start?"

"Since Bud Moon, that is, after Ludwig was attacked. As soon as the third prince returned to the imperial capital, the princess immediately became active."

The woman took out a large stack of papers and showed them to her superior.

"This also aroused our suspicion, so we checked all the doctors Christina had seen over the years, as well as the medicine lists they prescribed, and happened to find an amazing fact—this 'frail and sickly' van Princess Elden, all the doctors only checked out the weak point, and the medicine list is mostly nourishing medicine, besides, the most serious disease is just a cold syndrome, and from the time interval Look, even if she caught a cold, she recovered quickly, and she didn't seem to be getting worse."

The robed man immediately sat up straight and began to read the information carefully.

"Interesting, weak but not very sick, and even contracted a disease like wind-cold that can become tuberculosis if you are not careful, but you can recover quickly..."

Then, as if remembering something, he raised his head and ordered: "Ask the coachman to speed up and go back, and then bring back all the detailed files on Ludwig's attack."

The woman agreed, and immediately ordered, and then asked with some doubts: "My lord, did you find anything?"

The man in the robe nodded: "Indeed, the inconsistent physical performance of Her Royal Highness, of course, cannot be a coincidence. Then we have to determine that this is actually the intention of the other party, and then deduce it."

"Deliberately... that is to say, they are deliberately hiding Her Royal Highness Christina so that she will not be exposed to everyone's sight?"

"No, not them, but—her."

The robed man waved his hand.

"For the details, we will compare them carefully after we go back."

"Yes, my lord."

The carriage quickly arrived at the place and entered a manor.

"My lord, all the information about Ludwig's attack is here, including the pre-planning and emergencies to fill in the gaps, as well as the after-effects, all here."

The woman brought a lot of information.

"Well, go and get all the things about the Provence rebellion this time, including the version reported by Julien, the version investigated by the eldest prince, and the version made public by the empire. Bring them all."

"Yes!"

The woman immediately went to look for information again, while the man in the robe took away all the first half of the information about Ludwig's attack, and began to read some clues that Jung "accidentally" found.

"My lord, here are all the versions of the Provence rebellion, and this compiled explanation..."

"Don't use things with subjective assumptions to interfere with me."

The man in the robe didn't lift his head.

"Yes."

The woman raised her hand and threw the stack of papers into the brazier.

The man in the robe took out the things he wanted one by one, put them together, reached for a pen, and wrote Christina's name on the top.

"Sir, this is..."
