Seven hundred and eighty-eighth ask for advice

Ice Blue City, Ruby Street.
The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed on the ancient streets, and the wet meshes of morning dew pressed over the wheels, leaving slight marks.
The ancient lofts on both sides make the originally wide road dark and gray.
These ancient buildings are clearly angular, and the iron fence with black spires is like a lined up of gun-carrying soldiers.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the decoration of the building is extremely luxurious. Just the abyss rock walls and slender and solemn oak arched windows, as well as the velvet shade cloth seen through the glass, you can easily think of a bunch of shiny glittering.
gold.
But at first glance, it looks very ordinary, very in line with the low-key and luxurious aristocratic style.
This is one of the two blocks with the highest housing prices in the Ambergris River, and the other is her twin sister, Sapphire Street.
Sapphire Street is mainly composed of single-family houses, with independent courtyards, and a path between the house and the house.
Ruby Street has a higher living density, with buildings close to each other, similar to "townhouses".
Although they are gathering places for the powerful and nobles, and the housing prices are every inch of land, Sapphire Street is mostly home to powerful and nobles above the earl, while Ruby Street is mainly composed of small nobles who hold important positions.
Although his title is low, his power is not small at all.
To put it another way, Sapphire Street represents the aristocratic circle of Ice Blue City, and Ruby Street represents the bureaucratic system of Ice Blue City.
"Dingling..."
The carriage was parked in front of a large double-row house. The doorman, who heard the sound of horse bells, poked his head out of it and saw a decently dressed middle-aged nobleman get out of the carriage, immediately opened the door and came out toward the carriage.
The visitor salutes.
"Is it Viscount Theon from the Interior Department of the Archives Bureau?"
“It’s right down.”
The middle-aged nobleman's voice was calm and full of the demeanor of the superior.
"The master is waiting in the study."
After a while, Viscount Theon led him down to the study room by the concierge. He first tidied up his collar before walking in.
At this time, Viscount Rob, the owner of the house, was sitting behind the desk, looking at the morning newspaper attentively, and seemed not to notice anyone coming in.
Viscount Theon's face suddenly became a little ugly. The officials of Binglan City's ears were more flexible than rabbits. They looked at all directions, listened to all directions, observed their words and expressions, and responded quickly. How could they not hear footsteps? You know, he was wearing it.
The hard-soled leather shoes fell on the wooden floor and sounded quite loud. Moreover, in order to attract the other party's attention, he deliberately adjusted the strength of his foothold.
It was obvious that the other party was deliberately neglecting him and beating him.
As for why, it is probably because when he was the director of the Archives Bureau, he didn't take much care of his cousin's husband.
However, time has changed and the situation has changed. The other party is now in an important position, when he is proud, but he has plummeted. Now he is just a clerk with an empty title in the Archives Bureau.
Viscount Theon did not rush to speak, but stood aside and waited patiently.
No matter how glorious he was before, he came to ask for help today, so he had to put down his posture and cater to this second-rate man who used to be ignorant and could only flatter and scatter, relying on the fame left by his ancestors to wander in the officialdom.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Viscount Rob's neck was a little stiff because he pretended to read the newspaper. After twisting a few times, Viscount Theon took the opportunity to step forward.
"Good morning, honored Viscount Rob."
"Oh, you're here!" Viscount Rob put down the newspaper, looking very surprised.
"I made an appointment with you last night and come here to visit this morning." Viscount Theon's waist was slightly bent, with a bit of flattery and a bit of embarrassing smile on his face.
"Oh, look at my memory. Now I have too many things, I forget it in a blink of an eye..." Viscount Rob said politely, but neither stood up to greet him nor let the other party sit down, so he let the other party stand dryly.
In front of the desk.
"Sir, now he is in an important position and is busy with business. It is not easy to take time to meet me, a poor relative." Viscount Theon said, bent his waist lower.
As the saying goes, the emperor is the emperor and the minister. Now he is the yellow flower yesterday. He has not been confiscated by the Black Prison Guard and still retains his decent idle position. It is much better than most officials in the 22nd period of Malan.
As for his colleagues, one-third fled, one-third were washed, and the remaining one-third were walking on thin ice every day, trembling with fear.
On the contrary, officials who were unsuccessful during the 22nd reign of Maran took to perform on stage, and the official gangsters in front of them were one of them.
"Who is a poor relative? You are one of the three deputy directors of the confidential archives bureau, an important minister of the country!" Viscount Rob looked angry, as if he was speaking out for his cousin's husband, "Who is a blind guy who is not very good at looking at me!"
If you dare to look down on you, I will be the first to kill him!"
"Thank you brother-in-law!" Viscount Theon bowed to the end. Tears flashed in his eyes. I don't know if he was moved by the other party's righteousness or his embarrassing situation.
"If the family doesn't speak two families, what's wrong with you? I, a brother-in-law, cannot ignore it!" Viscount Rob pulled Viscount Theon and sat down next to him. His words were not false, after all, they still have relatives.
Even if you hate the other person in your heart, you still have to do enough skills on the surface, otherwise it will affect your reputation if it is spread.
Viscount Theon lowered his head, looking like a stray dog.
"Did you encounter any difficulties?" Viscount Rob asked with concern, then slapped his chest, "If it's a matter of less than a thousand gold coins, I can make the decision directly!"
"But if there are more, it will be..." Viscount Rob looked puzzled, "Your cousin, you know, the rich slave..."
"Brother-in-law, I'm not here to borrow money today." Viscount Theon said in pain. His face had been trampled on the ground and he repeatedly crushed it.
"Then are you?" Viscount Rob looked suspicious and his eyes flashed. At this moment, not everyone can help. If you help the wrong thing, if something big happens, you will lose your official position and run away.
In severe cases, they will die suddenly on the spot.
"I'm here today to ask my brother-in-law." Viscount Theon sorted out his thoughts and said, "I received a notice to attend the Political Council the day after tomorrow..."
"That's a good thing!" Viscount Rob's face changed in shock. Although he was talking about a good thing, a trace of alert flashed in his eyes. Participating in the political meeting represents participating in national decision-making and regaining power. He thought to himself, could the Queen be the one who thought to himself?
Preparing to activate former dynasty officials?
"I heard..." Viscount Theon unconsciously lowered his voice and approached Viscount Rob. "The queen will personally preside over the meeting and discuss national policies."
"hiss……"
Viscount Rob couldn't help but breathe a chill. Who wouldn't know that Cuilis is a lunatic, and her life will be in danger at any time when she has a meeting with her. The title of Dabichi is not groundless.
"I heard that my brother-in-law once participated in a meeting chaired by the queen. I wanted to ask my brother-in-law for experience, what should I pay special attention to, how to properly, what can I say, and what can't be said."
Viscount Theon stood up and saluted solemnly, "Brother-in-law, if I accidentally say something wrong or do something wrong, I will lose my life and be afraid of implicating my relatives..."
Viscount Rob looked solemn and thoughtless. He had been in the officialdom for many years, but he couldn't hear the subtext of Viscount Theon, which meant that if something happened, it would be difficult for him, a relative.
The study room was in a long tranquility, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
All officials in Binglan City knew that their lives were hanging on the line when attending the meeting chaired by Cuilis.
After a long time, Viscount Rob breathed a long sigh and said to Viscount Theon, "I also asked a senior at that time..."
"There are three things to remember when meeting the queen..." Viscount Rob emphasized, "If you make a mistake, you will die on the spot!" he emphasized, "and it was a tragic death cut into pieces."
Viscount Theon nodded.
"First, don't mention the word Bichi. You have to cut this noun from the dictionary, just like it has never appeared in the human world. A guy with a slip of tongue was chopped into meat sauce, even looking at the bones.
The kind that is missing."
"Secondly, don't refute the Queen's point of view at any time. The Queen represents the supreme wisdom of the world. Every word contains truth and the laws of the universe. Anyway, you only need to remember one thing, the Queen is always right."
"Third, try not to speak, listen, and nodify when necessary. In principle, if you can say a word, don't say a word more, and if you can do nothing, there will be no action, because you will never know what words and behaviors will do.
Being taboo.”
Viscount Theon's eyes were calm and he nodded.
"Also, before the meeting, you have to give a gift to someone."
"who."
"A Qiaomu, the presiding judge of the Black Prison." When talking about the other party, Viscount Rob couldn't help but tremble, as if he had remembered something terrible.
"Will she accept gifts?" Viscount Theon said strangely. Logically, the other party was not short of money at all. After copying so many stores, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in Binglan City.
"She is very greedy. You have to take out at least one-fifth of your property so that she won't ask questions deliberately during meetings." Viscount Rob seemed to be in lingering fear, "Anyone who doesn't like her will find a way to convict.
Below, the one who cannot offend the most is this woman.”
"Yeah, um..." Viscount Theon nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.
"Before you go to meet A Qiaomu, you'd better find a few women to vent your anger." Viscount Rob suddenly said.
"This..." The style of painting suddenly changed, Viscount Theon was a little unresponsive, why did it suddenly touch the woman? However, seeing Viscount Rob's serious look, it didn't seem like a joke.
"This A Qiaomu seems to hate men very much. She is obviously in a good figure and is sexy in the uniform of the judge, but if you accidentally have a physiological reaction when you meet her, you will basically live to the end."
Although it was a little strange, Viscount Theon still wrote it down, "I understand."
"Good luck, my dear brother-in-law."
