"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 used an assassination method. This made them all frightened, 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 the other party stabbing him 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 after taking 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 held back a sentence to express his position.
The more times this happens, the less likely you are to mess up the situation on your own. Although Cyric is very suspicious, it's hard to say who will take action in the end.
From the perspective of the king of the Kingdom of Light, although there was a possibility of poisoning on Cyric's part, 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.
Therefore, they cannot direct all their hatred towards 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 to break out between Cyric and Tang Mo, or simply wait for them both to lose and then we can benefit from it." The prime minister advised King Wright VII.
King Wright VII finally restrained 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. All we have to do is 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 nothing we can do to take advantage 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 showing off.
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...
Went to Beiling!”
"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 Susas, but by Tang Mo...
"Tang, Tang Mo has arrived at Beiling... He has taken control of Wolf City. I don't know what other 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 command of Bingjinghe. The artillery commander here was his student, and the infantry commander here was also Tiger's old subordinate.
After taking control of the military, 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 Luo Ning Alice of the Luo Ning family with the firmest attitude.
The young 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 someone to stand up, but waited for someone 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 in support: "I also support Miss Ronin Alice in becoming our new Earl!"
He is loyal to the Luo Ning family. If he is asked to support Tang Mo to control Beiling, he may be half-hearted or even make some small moves behind the scenes, 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 was really the case, they actually didn't know what to do. Because they knew that Tang Mo's influence in Beiling was not small. Just from the fact that he was able to control Wolf City in one night, they could see the clues.
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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now it seems that Tang Mo is here to help Ronin Alice, which obviously makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Although everyone is not sure whether Alice can continue
It is doubtful to lead Beiling to develop and grow, but subjectively, they recognize Alice more.
"We will do our best to assist Miss Alice." Lord 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 all 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!"
After looking at these retainers in Beiling, Tang Mo knew that the handover work here was almost completed. So he changed the topic to Fisherow's death: "Has your body been taken care of?"
"The weather is still cool, so it's not a big problem. The appearance has been taken care of, and 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 escort 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, as well as 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 then asked about the Earl's murder: "Where are the people who investigated the Earl's assassination? What's the result?"
"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 always been from Susa."
"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 Lord Earl's security work?" Tang Mo snorted with a bit of hatred.
"We changed her family's house and gave her a settlement 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 took money to improve her life, she has no...no reason..."
"In fact, she did it and succeeded." 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 definitely that the other party was a little too slow in this regard. 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 her parents. They all died at home. 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."
