Chapter 143 143 Funeral Arrangements

"Do they still take me as the king seriously? Do they take the entire aristocratic circle in their eyes? Who do they think they are? Huh?" Wright VII threw the water glass in his hand to the ground and cursed in anger. .

In front of him, the Prime Minister also had a sullen face, staring at the officers who came to deliver the news without saying a word. They had just reached a cooperation agreement with Tang Mo, and then obtained enough ammunition from Tang Mo to protect themselves.

 As a result, someone took action to kill the earl, and they assassinated him. This made them all nervous, and they began to seriously consider whether their chef was loyal enough.

No one wants to hide a pistol under the pillow when sleeping with a woman, and no one wants to worry about being stabbed by the other person while making love.

Similarly, no one wants to suddenly fall to the ground holding their stomach while eating, and no one wants to taste the taste of bitter almonds when they take a sip of wine.

This is related to the crisis of trust in the entire aristocratic circle, and it is also related to the security issue of the entire world.

"It doesn't have to be Cyric...it's better to investigate...this kind of thing." In the end, the prime minister still choked out a sentence and made his position clear.

 The more times this happens, the less likely you are to mess up your position. Although Cyric was very suspicious, it was hard to say who would take action in the end.

From the perspective of the king of the Kingdom of Wright, in fact, although Cyric had the possibility of poisoning, Susas also seemed to have a reason to take action.

Even Tang Mo, who was cooperating with them, didn't seem to be completely without suspicion. After all, if he wanted to control Beiling, then Fisherot was obviously a very key target. Without Fisherot, Tang Mo would indeed be able to control Beiling. Get a piece of the chaos in Ling.

 So they cannot direct all their hatred at Cyric now. It is in their fundamental interests to make themselves invincible.

“We can’t be impulsive now. It’s best to wait for a conflict between Cyric and Tang Mo, or simply wait for both of them to lose, and then we can benefit from it.” The prime minister advised King Wright VII.

Wright VII finally calmed down his anger and sat back on his throne: "Then what should we do now?"

"There is no good solution. Beiling is like a powder keg now. If there is a spark, it will explode. We just have to wait." The prime minister said the word "wait" again.

His Majesty the King seemed a little dissatisfied with this passive response, and continued to ask: "Then there is no way for us to take advantage of some of Beiling's interests and come back?"

“Do we want everyone to suspect that we poisoned Fischerot?” the prime minister asked his king.

Wright VII also realized that it seemed a bit irrational to reap benefits at this time, so he calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the chaos in Beiling.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't think of a way to gain benefits without revealing his flaws.

Just when he was thinking hard, a knight ran in, glanced at the prime minister who bowed his head and said nothing, then walked to the side of King Wright Knight, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is definite news, Tang Mo...go Bei Ling!”

"What did you say?" When the prime minister heard what he said, he was stunned for a moment, and then stood up in shock. He never expected that Tang Mo would be so impatient to go to Beiling.

  Could it be that... He even began to guess that the poison might not have been given by Cyric or Susus, but by Tang Mo...

"Tang, Tang Mo has arrived at Beiling... He has taken control of Wolf City. I don't know what other specific actions he will take." The officer looked at the excited prime minister and replied nervously.

 …

Just when the news of Tang Mo's arrival in Beiling came back to the royal city, Tang Mo had actually arrived in Ice Crystal City.

He just glanced at a few officers who came after hearing the news, and then took control of the Bingjing River. The artillery commander here is his student, and the infantry commander here is also Tiger's old subordinate.

After taking control of the military power, Tang Mo immediately began to deal with various thorny issues: "First of all, I want to announce something to everyone here."

After seeing everyone looking at him, Tang Mo continued to declare solemnly: "I came from Wolf City. Datang Group and myself will support Luoning Alice of the Luoning family with the firmest attitude. The lady is in charge of all military and political affairs in Beiling... Does anyone object?"

No one in the room spoke, and the scene seemed very silent. Tang Mo was not in a hurry, but was waiting there with peace of mind, waiting for someone to come forward.

 As a result, he did not wait for people to stand up, but for people who agreed. The legion artillery commander was the first to stand up and announced his position with his chin raised: "I firmly support Lord Tang Mo's decision!"

"I support it too!" On the other side, the infantry commander also quickly stood up and said, "I also support Miss Ronin Alice to become our new Earl!" He is loyal to the Luoning family. If he supports Tang Mo controls Beiling. He may be half-hearted or even make some small moves behind his back, but it is not difficult for him to continue to support Alice.

 In fact, most of the people standing in this room were worried just now that Tang Mo came to Beiling to gain his own interests.

 If that is really the case, they actually don’t know what to do. Because they knew that Tang Mo's influence in Beiling was actually quite large. Just from the fact that he was able to take control of Wolf City in one night, they could tell.

If Tang Mo really raised his voice and asked Beiling to become his vassal, the leaderless Beiling Group might really become the peach in Tang Mo's hands.

But now it seems that Tang Mo is here to help Ronin Alice support the show, which obviously makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Although everyone has doubts about whether Alice can continue to lead Beiling to develop and grow, subjectively, they agree more with Alice.

"We will do our best to assist Miss Alice." The earl's personal butler also stood up to support Tang Mo and said: "For Beiling!"

 “For Beiling!” Others in the room also echoed, and the scene immediately became much more relaxed.

Tang Mo nodded and thanked: "Thank you for supporting Miss Alice! I hope that you can dedicate your loyalty and talents to the new Earl of Northridge, Ronin Alice, just like you assisted Lord Fisherlot. "

"We will." A group of people immediately promised Tang Mo: "Beiling will continue to move forward under the leadership of the new Earl Ronin Alice!"

Looking at these retainers in Beiling, Tang Mo knew that the handover work here was almost completed. So he changed the topic to Fishereau's death: "Has your body been disposed of?"

"The weather is still cool, so the problem is not big. Appearance has been taken care of. It's very peaceful." A servant working for the earl stood in the corner and answered Tang Mo's question.

Tang Mo nodded slightly, and then continued to give instructions: "Get the carriage ready. After the things here are done, I will personally **** the Earl's body back to Wolf City."

"The etiquette for burying the earl must be very thoughtful. Money is not an issue, the scale must be large, and the people participating must have high status! Do you understand?" When Tang Mo asked this question, he looked around at everyone present.

"Understood!" All the officers and some of the Earl's attachés immediately replied. They seemed to have acquiesced that Tang Mo was already their actual commander.

After arranging the Earl's death, Tang Mo asked about the Earl's murder: "What are the results of those who investigated the Earl's assassination?"

"Sir." An officer stood up after hearing the news and replied to Tang Mo: "We investigated the maid who committed the assassination. She is an old man in this city hall, and she has been a Sussian before."

"Why hasn't she been replaced? What's the reason?" Tang Mo frowned and asked the other party.

"The other party's family members are all in Ice Crystal City, and they all have a very clean background. We were short of manpower before, so we left some local servants and maids." The officer explained regretfully: "We were planning to replace them before. Yes, but she is very capable..."

"How could such a stupid thing happen in the security work of Lord Earl?" Tang Mo snorted, somewhat hating the iron.

"We changed her family's house and gave her a settling-in allowance. No one expected that she would... do this." The officer's voice became lower and lower as he spoke: "There is nothing wrong with her on weekdays, and she also... She received money to improve her life, she has no...no reason..."

"Actually, she did it, and it was successful." Tang Mo interrupted the other party's explanation, and then continued to ask: "Has her family been under control?"

"No..." The officer shook his head regretfully. It was obvious that he was not very good at these things.

"Huh?" Tang Mo glanced over with sharp eyes. He was sure that the other party's performance in this regard was a little too slow. For a moment, he even began to doubt the officer.

"When we went there, they were all dead." The officer lowered his head and explained: "The maid had a sister, a brother, and parents. They all died at home, and no one was spared."

  "The family was wiped out?" Tang Mo knew that the other party might kill people and silence them, but he didn't expect that he would do it so neatly.

"Yes, they were all killed. Our soldiers arrived there about three hours after the accident."
