Chapter 180 180 Give way
In the manor of the Kingdom's Finance Minister, a woman sat across from the old Finance Minister crying: "He was your nephew! How could he be killed in such a confused way?"
"I have already written to my acquaintances in the city guard. At this time, there is only so much I can do."
"You are the Finance Minister! And, and... others don't know, Woodrow, Woodrow is yours..." The woman cried so hard that the old Finance Minister couldn't bear to see her.
People always have the habit of collecting. For a man with a successful career and a lot of money, collecting things that others are destined to fail to collect will give them a sense of accomplishment.
So, he fell in love with a pair of twins, a pair of twin sisters, and they were quite beautiful twin sisters. He first married his sister and became his wife, and then he used all possible means to keep her outside and became his mistress.
When he was most proud, he was even so ridiculous that he asked his sisters to sleep with him, and even asked them to give birth to children for him. What made him a little regretful was that his wife gave birth to two daughters, but his mistress sister gave birth to a son!
This matter is no secret in the aristocratic circle. In fact, many people are well aware that the Minister of Finance has an illegitimate child.
At that time, the Minister of Finance was an important chess piece bought by the Cyric Consortium, and his personal relationship with Huey Gith was not shallow. Therefore, his body is deeply imprinted with the label of Cyric Consortium, and he is naturally one of the important figures in the kingdom who supports Cyric Consortium.
It's a pity that he has not been having an easy time recently, because the influence of the Cyric Consortium in the Kingdom of Wright has dropped to a dangerous low.
There was no way. At the beginning, the plan led by him and Geese to betray Beiling failed, causing the kingdom to suffer a lot of losses, and the king began to feel unhappy with him.
Originally, relying on Cyric's influence, even if the king was displeased with him, he would not be in any danger. However, Cyric later sold out almost half of the kingdom's interests because of his false cooperation with the Tang Group.
This has further led to the decline of the Cyric Consortium's influence within the kingdom, so much so that his position as Minister of Finance has become unstable.
In the past week, he has fallen into complete passivity. I heard that Cyric's private army was defeated in Bunas and lost tens of thousands of people.
Cyric's power in the Kingdom of Wright was almost wiped out. He, who relied on Cyric to become the finance minister of the kingdom, naturally became in danger.
If there is nothing special, he has been cautious recently. He is afraid that the king will make trouble and cause trouble for him.
But the leaky house was hit by the rain all night long. When he least wanted to cause trouble and wanted to avoid the limelight, his illegitimate son was slaughtered like this...
In the royal city, who knows that Woodrow is his illegitimate son, who would not give him some respect as the finance minister? Who dares to touch Woodrow?
Because he only had such a son, the old finance minister wrote to the city guard at this time, demanding severe punishment for the murderer.
What annoys him is that he knows very well that now the murderer has not even been arrested, and is still living happily outside, so uncomfortable...
"Okay! It's not like you don't know that the current situation is so precarious that it's difficult for me to protect myself. There's nothing I can do about it," the Finance Minister explained gloomily.
"You are the Minister of Finance! How dare they do this to you..." The woman was still unwilling to give in and said bitterly.
The one who died was her son. Normally, she was just a lover without status, so all her hopes were placed on her son.
Moreover, this son is very filial and capable. He runs many industries behind the scenes and can give her a large amount of pocket money every month.
Now, if such a good son was killed when he said he was going to be killed, how could she just let it go?
As a mother, or as a beneficiary, she secretly vowed to let that **** murderous bastard, or the **** who destroyed her bank card, be cut into pieces!
“Cough, cough, cough!” The Finance Minister was so angry that he coughed rapidly. After coughing for a long time, I finally stopped the itching in my throat, stabilized my breath, and said, "Don't even think about it! Why did they dare to touch Woodrow?! When I was at the height of my power, did they dare to touch Woodrow? Not even that. Because my position in the kingdom is shaky, they took action from Woodrow and tried to drag me into trouble? "
"This..." The woman was still unwilling to accept it. In her opinion, she was standing up for justice, and she could seek justice wherever she went.
She would not have thought that the families of the common people and petty officials who were killed by her son would also have no place to reason. Now it was her turn and she began to make sense.
"What is this? Even today I was announced by the king to be dismissed from the position of Minister of Finance. It is not surprising at all!" The voice of the old Minister of Finance became cold, which meant that he was very unhappy.
He hates women messing around with him, but in this family, he is the head of the family and women are just foils. It's like a vase, just an accent to the room.
Moreover, there was one sentence he did not say: Just a few days ago, news came from Bunas that Huey Guis, the person in charge of the Cyric Consortium in the Kingdom of Wright, had been raped. The Tang Group was killed! This news was almost like a bolt from the blue, and it immediately made the old finance minister become extremely silent.
He can be where he is today without the support of the Cyric Consortium, but it is obvious that his backer has fallen now.
As a veteran, of course he wanted to find another backer, but for a while he couldn't find a way to join the Datang Group.
Yesterday, after the meeting, he had a few words with the king and expressed his willingness to serve the king.
What frightened him was that the king didn't answer the question at all. The other party didn't seem to be interested in his surrender, or it might be said that the other party had already made his own plans.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. The woman could only lower her voice and sob cautiously. She did not dare to disobey her man. After all, this man was one of the most powerful men in the kingdom.
Or, at least he was once... one of the most powerful people in this kingdom. Even if he fell down today and the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, he would still be someone she couldn't afford to offend.
Hearing the woman's suppressed sobs, the Finance Minister was also extremely irritable. He wanted to scold her a little impatiently, but for a while he didn't know where to start.
After all, that was his son too, and his only son! Even though he was an illegitimate child, he was very heartbroken over his son's death.
If it were normal, he would have been furious. He would find the murderer, let Cyric find the **** guy, and then let this bastard's whole family die a good death.
But now, the Cyric forces in the royal city have too much to take care of themselves, and he is already like a mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot save himself. He is really powerless and unable to deal with matters related to Woodrow.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and an old housekeeper walked in, bowed slightly, and then reported: "Master... the Prime Minister is here."
"Quick! Please come in!" The Finance Minister stood up excitedly, with a smile on his face. He knew that the prime minister and the king were on the same side, and the prime minister's willingness to come to see him obviously represented the king's will.
After he finished speaking, he looked at his lover and said: "When I finish things here, Woodrow's matter will be simple! As long as my position is saved, those **** who dare to touch Woodrow will , I won’t let anyone go!”
The woman who was still crying finally restrained herself a little, looked at the Minister of Finance with tears in her eyes, hesitated to speak, and finally left the reception room through another door.
Not long after she left, the prime minister came in with a middle-aged man. After a few words of greeting, the two took their seats.
The two of them were both mature, and they chatted a lot of useless pleasantries, and even talked about the tax reform of the Kingdom of Susas.
Because of the defeat, the Kingdom of Susas began to reform and strengthen itself. On the military side, it purchased advanced weapons from the Tang Group and ordered the kingdom's rising star Sir Romell to train a new army. On the domestic side, it began to rectify the administration and reform the tax law, relying on the support of the prime minister. Launch a series of development plans.
The Kingdom of Wright, as a neighboring country, naturally sees this. Recently, King Wright VII has frequently summoned ministers, hoping that his side can respond.
While chatting, the prime minister mentioned someone. This person played a very important role in the reform of the Kingdom of Susas, and this talented person was very young. He was so young that the Kingdom of Wright didn't even have much information about him.
From the perspective of the Kingdom of Wright, this young man suddenly descended from the sky to the Kingdom of Susas. In just over a month, he actually had the momentum to become a general and a prime minister.
Moreover, I heard that this young man was in love with the granddaughter of the prime minister of the Kingdom of Susas, and there were even rumors of marriage.
The prime minister of Susas also liked this young man very much, supported him politically, and trained him as his successor...
As he spoke, the old prime minister even began to lament that a young man named Tang Mo came out of the Wright Kingdom, and there was also a young hero in Susas. It seemed that an old man like him could not keep up with the times.
The Minister of Finance even sighed for a moment, and then offered words of comfort. The two old men who were not young seemed to feel a sense of loneliness when they were together.
