Chapter 110 The Impact of Bloody Night
really!
After listening to Leon's words, the old man frowned slightly, and then asked:
"Why did you kill him?"
"Because work requires it."
Since he was not sure how much the old man knew about the "underwater world", Leon did not directly tell the lie he had made up, but instead asked:
"How much do you know about the Cleanup Bureau?"
"I know a little bit about it."
Since he had carefully investigated Lyon's files, he would naturally not fail to understand his work. After being silent for a while, the old man waved the two officers to leave, and then lowered his voice and said:
"The royal family has a manual. After writing your name on it, you can still maintain the 'silence' of your soul even if you know the existence of abnormalities, and will not attract abnormal attacks. My name is also on it.
Also, since you mentioned the Cleanup Bureau, that means that this time it is not actually the civil strife that occurred in the Lane family, but it is related to the 'work content' of your Cleanup Bureau? "
A manual that can keep the soul "silent"? It seems that not all "ordinary people" are unaware of the existence of anomalies, but there are not many of them.
After keeping this news in mind, Leon nodded and said:
"Yes, Bobby Lane merged with an abnormal object. Not only did he try to snatch the abnormal object that I kept, he even threatened the lives of ordinary people to try to force me to reveal the secrets of the Cleanup Bureau.
Although the Cleanup Bureau had requirements not to kill ordinary people unless necessary, the situation was urgent and he could no longer be considered a human being, so I had no choice but to kill him. "
…
I see……
After learning the "truth" about Ryan's bloody night from Leon's mouth, and comparing it with other situations he knew, the old man's frown could not help but relax slightly.
If Leon had told the answer directly at the beginning of the question, he might have grabbed a few doubts and continued to ask.
But Leon first "embarrassed" him severely with two questions, and after confirming his understanding of the Cleanup Bureau, he "reluctantly" revealed the "true" situation of Ryan's bloody night.
As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and a thief is worse than not being able to steal. The current situation is similar to this.
Compared with easy-to-find answers, the credibility of this kind of hard-earned information is naturally much higher. The Minister of Defense, who at least has a slight understanding of the Cleanup Bureau, has basically believed Lyon's words, but... …
"If you could, I'd like you to say it differently."
Under Leon's somewhat surprised gaze, the old man said seriously:
"Of course I can say whatever I want about your Cleanup Bureau, but when people other than the Cleanup Bureau ask about it, I hope you can cooperate with us and characterize the incident in the Lane family as a civil strife."
us?
Although as an "ordinary person", Leon didn't know much about the political situation in the kingdom, he had vaguely heard about who was standing behind the Minister of Defense.
"The princess...are you going to take this opportunity to attack the old nobles?"
"Yes."
After frankly acknowledging Leon's judgment, the gray-haired old man said:
"If you want, you can put it more bluntly... This is a frame-up!"
After he said what he wanted to do without hesitation, the old man's sharp eyes like a falcon stared firmly into Leon's eyes. While carefully observing his expression, he explained very quickly:
"Whether it is a rebellion or civil strife, the Lane family is completely finished after so many important members have died. However, the old nobles are a whole. Even if the Lane family completely loses power, the positions he vacated will not fall. If it falls into the hands of others, it will only be quickly divided up by other nobles.
At that time, except that the Lane Arms Company has become the Masseny Arms Company, and the people named Lane in the Department of Highways, the Treasury, and the Agriculture Department have all become people named York, or people with other surnames, everything will be as usual. If things go smoothly, there will still be no change in this country. "
After explaining the possible situation as briefly as possible, looking at Leon who was listening carefully in front of him, the old man raised his tone slightly and said seriously:
"But it's different now. As long as you are willing to cooperate and prove that the matter in the Lane family is a civil strife, you can create an excellent opportunity for the princess and make this country take a big step in a better direction!"
"I did not understand."
Leon frowned when he heard this and asked with some confusion:
"Whether it's civil strife or gang attacks, aren't the people who die are all members of the Ryan family? Why can we provide the princess with a good opportunity?"
"Because the Kingdom needs to maintain stability, no department can and should not experience large-scale vacancies all at once."
Looking at Leon, who obviously didn't know much about Shoji's game, not even as good as his own daughter, the old man thought for a while and explained as plainly as possible:
"Of the more than 200 people killed or injured in the Lane family this time, more than 100 were mid-level officials from various ministries in the kingdom, especially the Ministry of Highways and the Ministry of Military Affairs. These two ministries alone were short of nearly 80 people at one time.
As a result, a quarter of the forty-seven subordinate departments of the military began to backlog working documents, and two small branches were temporarily suspended because they lost their managers.
Although the old nobles will send people to fill in the gaps as soon as possible, it will take at least one or two months to wait for the new officials to take over and become familiar with the work. It may take more than three months to completely deal with the backlog of work, and even the relevant departments will follow up. For most of the year, it will not run smoothly because of unfamiliarity. "
After briefly talking about the direct impact of Ryan's Blood Night, the old man continued with a serious expression:
"A civil strife in one noble family can cause such serious consequences. What if two, three, or even more noble families have troubles within six months? This is the best excuse to take action!"
As long as this incident can be classified as a civil strife, the princess can request in the parliament to reduce the number of old nobles in each department on the grounds of ensuring the normal operation of the kingdom to check and balance their excessive power.
Even if you fail to succeed in the end, you can still ask the old nobles to transfer their power to ensure that the number of people from a certain noble family in a certain department cannot be too large, so as to avoid a complete shutdown of the relevant departments after similar problems occur.
And when these nobles cannot have a large number of tribesmen in a certain department, those who fall in love with the princess have room for maneuver. They can try to unite with others to check and balance, and even seize control of key affairs in this department! "
When he said this, he seemed to see the princess's successful reform and a bright future that would eliminate the long-standing shortcomings of the kingdom. The old man couldn't help but blush slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement:
"Take the Lane family as an example. Think about it, if the number of officials in the Highway Department of the Lane family is reduced to half or even one-third of the original number, can they still control the construction of the old city as before?
If the number of people in the Lane family involved in military procurement is reduced to half of its original number, can Lane Arms Company still consume so much funding from the military every year? What if...? "
"There is someone coming from His Highness..."
One of the two young officers walked into the ward with a warrant and said with a strange expression:
"The people sent by the princess said...the old Duke of the Lane family is dying, and asked the top five people in the succession to rush over as soon as possible..."
Is the Lionheart Duke dying?
After hearing the young officer's words, the old man's expression was slightly happy, and then he immediately stood up from the bed and said vigorously and resolutely:
"Anyway, please consider my words first. A good opportunity like Ryan's Bloody Night will really never happen again. Your choice may become... so what?"
"that……"
After looking at Leon who was covered in bandages on the bed, the young officer said helplessly:
"This person on the bed is the fifth heir to the Lane family..."
"..."
ah? ! ? ! ? !
