Chapter 140 Reactions from all parties

After coming ashore and watching the fireworks, the new nobles gathered together, saying that Haishan deserved to die for daring to cut off our financial resources.

As soon as they turned around, they wrote letters and rode to all directions.

Soon, the news that Marquis Haishan fell into the water and died began to spread from the north.

Count Perez was close, so he was the first to know about it, before the official notification.

The old earl had been in the political arena of Locke Kingdom for many years, so naturally he had some relatives and friends. It was normal for him to be among the new nobles.

So he saw the first-hand news, including the whereabouts of the eldest prince, which has never been a secret.

But he didn't think that these guys were so bold that they killed Haishan directly.

According to his people, the incident happened suddenly and they had to follow blindly. There must be a mastermind behind it.

Even Perez was one of the suspects of the murderer, which was really fucked up.

"Who did it? Did Earl Lovett take the risk? Or did Derek lose control? Or... did the king do it?"

Everyone has a motive, or simply everyone knows it.

Earl Perez felt a headache. He was really old. If he had known, he would have taken the initiative. Now he is passive.

"We have to call the boss back."

The old earl rubbed his temples and ordered the army to be ready. We must be on guard against others.

...

Earl Lovett was stunned at first, and then surprised when he received the news.

This time it really wasn't him who did it. At most, he was just fanning the wind. He didn't have the courage to directly attack Hussein. The latter's death would be a mixed blessing for him. There was no need.

He has been busy rectifying the affairs of the southern nobles recently. Of course, the big moves made by those businessmen could not be hidden from his eyes.

Knowing is one thing, and being able to stop is another.

He once coerced the southern nobles and tied everyone to his chariot with common interests as a bond.

Now, Augusta tempted with greater benefits, and some guys naturally changed to a chariot without hesitation.

The key is that he has no way to stop it, after all, many people are as powerful as him.

"A group of short-sighted guys, could it be them who did this?" Count Lovett fell into deep suspicion.

...

Derek received the news very quickly, and of course he participated in this matter.

The new nobles, the new nobles, the biggest new nobles all came from the Augusta family.

It's just that the new nobles in the capital don't communicate with this circle much.

But if they settle in the north, are they still pure new nobles in the capital?

Everyone knows that after one or two generations, everyone should change camps, and naturally there are smart people who bet in advance.

Of course, many people hold on to Augusta's thick thigh.

Derek is reading the letter written by Baron Shavin, who has long been in contact with the Augusta family.

But don't get me wrong, this matter is really not led by Derek.

"The king's order? But he didn't die unjustly.

Prince, you are really interesting. You are good at pretending to be deaf and dumb."

Derrick laughed. He didn't believe that the prince didn't know about this. Baron Shavin's methods were so crude. How could he hide it from the people present?

"And this Baron Shavin wants to use me?"

Derrick burned the letter. This thing is not even evidence.

Everyone is just using each other.

The reason why Hussein died unjustly is not nonsense.

The king's trust is limited, especially this Majesty Louis II.

Giving him the military power of the Northern Expedition Corps is good enough. Giving him the power to temporarily control the Northern City Guards is also to attack himself.

But this guy is good. He really thinks this is his real strength.

It is very convenient to place confidants, but the officials in the north are either local tigers or sent by the king. How can he, a temporary envoy, command them?

In addition, the smuggling channel is related to the interests of too many people. Even the royal family has caravans traveling through it. I don’t know how many people say bad things about him in front of the king.

A false accusation can kill people, not to mention that he has violated so many taboos.

Therefore, the power from the king cannot save his life.

Derek pondered. He believed that the king was not simply narrow-minded and must have his own plan for the next step.

"Is it aimed at me? What can I do?"

...

Derek really misjudged Louis II's mind. Although he was afraid of Hussein's cross-border behavior, he didn't have the idea of ​​killing him now.

Waiting for Hussein and the Augusta family to fight to the death before he went down to clean up the mess is in the interests of the king.

A few rumors and a little financial loss, at most he would make a few more entries in his little notebook.

In fact, at this time, the eldest prince was sitting in the carriage, thinking about how to report this matter to his father.

Yes, he was the driving force behind this matter.

The reason is very simple, it was a temporary impulse, just because of Hussein's analysis.

Count Perez is a suspect, but he has the power, which is a good thing.

Louis II has been the king for almost 30 years, and he has been the prince for 30 years.

Is there a lifelong heir in this world?

Louis II is in good health now, and he can live another 30 years without any problems. The eldest prince also needs to think about himself.

He has a chance only if he kills Hussein and investigates Count Perez and stays in the north.

As for Baron Shavin, they knew each other before, and he helped Baron Shavin get his title, because... Baron Shavin's wife is also the eldest prince's cousin, a cousin on the maternal side.

With this relationship, plus some leverage, he can force Baron Shavin to make the right judgment.

Now, he just needs to think of a good excuse, and the opportunity will come soon.

The eldest prince prepared and wrote a letter: "Dear father, Marquis Hussein discovered the illegal behavior of Count Perez, as follows... The north is in danger, I am willing to go there quickly to nip the danger in the bud..."

The eldest prince wrote with sincerity, he knew that Hussein must have reported this matter in the letter to his father, and he just needed to add fuel to the fire.

However, Baron Shavin's secret letter reached the king's desk first.

Yes, Baron Shavin was promoted with the help of the eldest prince, but the real master is the king, and the king's thigh is the thickest.

The king read the letter, which was a letter of apology. Baron Shavin explained the process of being coerced by the eldest prince, as well as the shadowy hands of other forces. He was completely forced to do so.

From a rational point of view, Baron Shavin was really wronged, and now he was showing his loyalty.

However, Louis II, who had mastered the most inside information, would not be fooled by such a simple sad play.

"Hushan, I told you a long time ago that you should not reach out when you shouldn't. It's not that I want you to die, but everyone wants you to die."

This was not decided by one person, and even he could hardly prevent such a thing from happening. It can only be said that he offended the public.

And his own son, Louis II sneered: "I told you a long time ago, don't fall on a woman, what's the fun of cousins?"

As for Baron Shavin, he is just a small character, at most a little smart. If he is really a loyal minister, he doesn't mind helping him, but now... he is just a smart fool.
