"I just became a nobleman not long ago, and I don't know much about the officials. I really can't tell who those people are."

"Since the fire is only the first step, they must have more plans later, right?"

"If history is used as a reference, it will definitely discredit Nero's reputation, brand her as a tyrant, and fabricate a few more facts."

"Afterwards, a rebellion was set off, and the army was used to justifiably drive her down from the throne."

"I don't know how correct my guess is?"

After all, Nero in normal history is a man, and he is really cruel.

But Nero in this world is a young girl. Although her personality is not gentle, she will never become a tyrant.

"In those conversations just now, it seems that a person's name was mentioned, Oliver. I have some impressions of him, and I passed by his house before."

After pondering for a few seconds, Shirou left the territory and flew to Oliver's house in Rome at a very fast speed.

Although it is possible to extinguish the fire with the momentum of thunder after the fire.

But in a city like Rome where most of the buildings are made of wood, once it catches fire, if it is not stopped in time, there will definitely be a lot of losses.

Rather than that, it would be better to nip the fire in the bud from the very beginning.

In addition, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent a thousand days from a thief.

Even if the fire is stopped, if the rebels are still there, there will definitely be another plan.

Therefore, we must act immediately to eliminate all dangers before they happen.

Chapter 176 Chapter 170 Five How Can Someone Hate Yu

"Do you know where Oliver has an appointment today?"

"You are…?"

"answer my question."

Looking at the red pupils in Shirou's eyes, the servants of Oliver's family were instantly controlled and became obedient.

"I only know that Mr. Oliver went out in a carriage when the sun went down. I don't know where he went."

"Then you think, who would know?"

"Butler Aaron should know that he has a clear picture of all the affairs of the house."

"So that's it. Then where is the butler Aaron you mentioned?"

"I only know that he lives in the third district, but I don't know the specific address."

Shirou was speechless, sighed lightly, and asked again:

"Except for the Aaron housekeeper you mentioned, no one knows where Oliver went today, right?"

"Master Oliver belongs to the kind of tight-lipped person who rarely talks to us. Except for Aaron butler, only the groom who drives the car knows his whereabouts."

"That's it."

It seems that this method is not working.

Shirou found two more servants at Oliver's house, and after asking one after another, he could only sigh helplessly.

I wanted to use the clue of Oliver's whereabouts to follow the clues to find those rebels, but this road obviously didn't work.

In fact, the best way is to use knowledge, domineering or magic to find it.

But the crux of the problem was that I didn't know Oliver very well, and I had only met him a few times, so I almost forgot what he looked like.

Moreover, the city of Rome is too large and the population is too large. It is difficult to accurately find out the target with knowledge and arrogance. We can only check one by one, but this is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not necessarily useful.

Leaving Oliver's house, Shirou decided to consult with someone.

Although it is night now and most people are about to fall asleep, it is not too late after careful study. For a small number of people, it is just the beginning of nightlife.

At least, as far as Shirou knows, Nero is definitely not asleep yet.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, he flew straight to the sky above the palace, swept away the palace with his knowledge and arrogance, and quickly found where Nero was.

dong dong...

"Please come in."

Seeing Shirou who entered the door, Nero was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked in surprise:

"Why did you come here? Could it be that you came back from the territory on purpose to see Yu, and sneaked into the palace again?"

"I didn't expect Qing to take such a big risk just to see Yu..."

Seeing her moved face, Shirou really wanted to complain, what did you imagine?

"Your Majesty Nero, I have something very important to discuss with you."

"Oh...does Qing already know? Unexpectedly, Qing just got the news when Yu just wrote a new song."

"New song? No, I'm not talking about that kind of thing."

Moreover, this has nothing to do with major events, right?

Shirou paused for a moment, then said solemnly:

"Actually, I got news that a minister is very dissatisfied with you and wants to rebel."

Nero was slightly taken aback, then laughed loudly:

"Where did you hear the gossip, it's absolutely false, it's impossible."

"No, I'm serious."

"This kind of joke is not funny at all. Yu is loved by all Rome, how can anyone hate Yu?"

When speaking, Nero raised his chest and looked up, his face was full of pride.

"Uh……"

Shirou is really speechless, where does this confidence come from?No matter how wise a king is, he dare not say that he can be loved by all the people.

Rather, because of conflicts of interest and class conflicts, some people will definitely hate the monarch.

"Every word I said is the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood, someone is really planning a rebellion..."

Nero suddenly interrupted Shirou, and said with some displeasure:

"Stop...! Yu can't take it anymore. It doesn't seem like it would come from Qing's mouth to sow discord."

"Yu understands Qing's good intentions, but Yu is loved by the whole of Rome, and no one will rebel."

"If you insist on your own ideas, please show evidence."

I'm in trouble.

Shirou secretly sighed, he just wanted to invite her to investigate with him, how could he get evidence?

"Doesn't Qing have any evidence? Yu knows it, it must be the case." Nero smiled quite complacently, "However, Yu is very generous, so he won't bother with Qing about such trivial matters."

silence.

Seeing that Shirou's expression was not very good, Nero changed the subject and said with a smile:

"By the way, Qing came just in time. Didn't Yu just say that he wrote a new song? Do you want to listen to it?"

"Is now the time to do something like this?"

Shirou took a deep breath, looked at her solemnly, and said word by word:

"I'm serious! While you're singing and drinking, someone is planning a rebellion. And the first step in the rebellion is to burn Rome."

Seeing that she still had a careless expression on her face, Shirou thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Soon, there will be a fire in Rome that lasts for seven days and seven nights, causing countless casualties."

"After the fire, you will be angry and arrest those suspected of arson and torture them. The name of the tyrant will spread everywhere."

"Even if you haven't done anything bad yourself, you will gradually become a tyrant recognized by the people under the propaganda of the rebel party."

"The policy you adopted was not welcomed by the Senate. Among the nobles, your reputation is not very good. After losing the hearts of the people, Rome quickly rebelled, and people rebelled everywhere."

"In the end, you will be cast out of the throne, exiled from the city of Rome, and flee alone."

"While fleeing, I realized that I was completely hopeless, and it was impossible to make a comeback. So, I drew my sword and killed myself."

"At the end of your life, you cried and said, 'Is such a good artist going to disappear from the world?' while stabbing your neck with a sword hesitantly."

When he heard the last word, Nero was completely stunned.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably that this was her future, and she had a creepy sense of déjà vu.

"What are you talking about? Yu can't be considered a tyrant, right? Even if some citizens misunderstand Yu, he won't end up like that?"

"I know, of course you are not a tyrant. But destruction is never easier than construction. To have a good reputation requires years of maintenance and accumulation. To destroy a person's reputation, one day is enough."

"Then Qing is talking about it? Is there any way to ruin a person's reputation?"

"There are many ways. For example, send a dead man to find a way to irritate you and seek a miserable death. Afterwards, intensify the propaganda... Repeat this a few times, and your reputation will be ruined."

Shirou paused, then continued:

"In addition, dead soldiers are also easy to find, nothing more than coercion and temptation."

"For many people, family members are more important than themselves."

"In order for them to live, or even live better, no one cares about a life. What they care about is how to sell their lives for a good price."

Chapter 170: Be With Rome

Chapter 177 Chapter 170 VI Be with Rome

"This kind of thing... this kind of thing..."

Nero stared blankly at Shirou, really unwilling to admit what he said.

But both intuition and reason told her that those were right.

Cruel, but true.

Even in prosperous Rome, there is no shortage of poor people.

Some people do go out of their way to become devils in order to make life better for their families.

"Rome...is there going to be a fire that burns for seven days and nights?"

"That's right! This is the future that is bound to happen if nothing is done."

"Yu will never allow it!"

Nero stood up suddenly and said very angrily:

"The Rome I love, anyone who wants to destroy it is my enemy."

After saying this, she quickly calmed down and looked at Shirou again:

"Since Qing came to look for Yu, he must have investigated a lot, right?"

"No, I actually don't know much."

Oliver's clue can't be investigated further, so there's no need to say it out.

"However, according to the information I have received, the fire is only a few days away."

After all, as an important official in the DPRK, if Oliver disappeared for too long, he would definitely be investigated.

Therefore, the date of action for those traitors is definitely not too late.

As long as the fire comes together, Oliver can be burned to death, and all traces of crime can be wiped out, making it difficult for Nero to trace.

"In my opinion, we can proceed with the investigation from two aspects. One is fire starters. There are fourteen districts in the city of Rome, and the scope is very large. A lot of fire starters will definitely be needed."

"Starting from this aspect, if we investigate secretly, we should be able to get some useful information."

"Whether it's the past month or the next few days, as long as someone buys a large number of fire starters, it must be related to the rebel party."

"The second is to investigate sneaky strangers. If strangers come on the street, the first thing to notice is the local residents."

"If you want to trigger a fire, you must step on the spot in advance. Using this as an entry point, you may be able to find many useful clues."
