Finally, after rambling a lot, he started talking about the business with a heavy heart: "Sir, I believe you have something to explain to me when you come here this time. Today is different from the past. The Cyric Consortium's
I have also heard about the matter. I had no choice before, but now... I actually still want to do something for the kingdom."
Hearing that the other party spoke first, the prime minister stopped talking about the political reforms of neighboring countries. He shook his head with some melancholy and said: "Franklin, Franklin...my dear Franklin...I know you are a good person."
"Sir..." Hearing the emotion in the old prime minister's words, the finance minister stared nervously at the old prime minister and called him repeatedly.
The old prime minister waved his hand and sighed with regret, then continued: "Actually, the king gave you a chance... I remember it was a year ago, when you gave up the chance."
"But..." Hearing what the old prime minister said, Franklin, the finance minister, felt a little nervous. He knew that things might be bad, but he was not willing to do so.
So he wanted to make amends or defend himself, but the other party obviously had no intention of giving him this opportunity.
Just listen to the old prime minister say: "Nothing to worry about, Franklin... His Majesty the King needs your current position. This matter has been decided."
When he went to negotiate with Tang Mo on behalf of the king, he had already promised Tang Mo that he would give him the position of finance minister of the kingdom.
Therefore, from that time on, the ownership of the position of Secretary of Finance was actually no longer decided by Franklin sitting in this position.
If Tang Mo wins, then this position belongs to Tang Mo. If Tang Mo fails, this position belongs to Cyric, which means it still belongs to Franklin.
Unfortunately, Tang Mo won a great victory, defeated Cyric, and got everything the kingdom promised him.
Finance Minister Franklin suddenly stood up from his chair, suppressed his anger, and roared in a low voice: "What? How could you, how could you replace me as Finance Minister without even telling me?
"
The prime minister looked helplessly at the emotional Minister of Finance and said word by word: "I am here to inform you that tomorrow, a new Minister of Finance will take over your job. All you need to do is cooperate with his work.
"
"You're kidding!" The Finance Minister, who didn't want to believe this fact at all, staggered back to his chair, shook his head and hypnotized himself.
The prime minister shattered his illusions and warned Franklin directly, who was thinking about how to keep his position: "I'm not kidding, Franklin! If you are unwilling to give up your position honorably, then His Majesty the King will
Use dishonorable methods to ruin your reputation."
"You know, Cyric has no ability to threaten me now! I can take orders from the king! I can take orders from you!" The finance minister wanted to make a desperate struggle. He felt that if he surrendered to the king, he might still have a chance of survival.
"The matter has been decided, Franklin! You give up your position. This cannot be changed." The old prime minister shook his head and cruelly rejected the minister of finance's surrender.
The desperate and angry Minister of Finance was furious. He slammed the table and shouted loudly: "This is not fair! I have paid so much for the kingdom! When you need Cyric, I have been here for you..."
The prime minister interrupted him, lowered his eyes and said softly: "What's the use of talking so much... These are all in the past. Now, Cyric is a thing of the past."
"I will not give up my power! If you mess around, I will make you pay the price!" Finally, Franklin stood up again, pointed at the prime minister and shouted desperately.
The prime minister raised his eyes, looked up at Franklin who stood up, and warned coldly: "Don't say that, Franklin, I think you should calm down."
"I don't need to calm down!" Franklin continued to shout desperately, and his shouts were loud enough that the housekeeper in the corridor could hear him clearly.
It had been many years since there had been such a fierce quarrel in this mansion. Therefore, the old housekeeper had to disperse the surrounding servants and walked further away.
Just as Franklin was yelling angrily, a voice suddenly sounded: "Maybe you should calm down."
At this moment, Franklin realized that there was another person in the room. The middle-aged man who had been standing behind the old prime minister spoke out at this moment, with a disdainful smile on his face.
Franklin hated this smile and asked displeasedly: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile: "Me? I'm just a manager of Silver Fox Company... Oh, by the way! I killed Woodrow."
"What?" Franklin was shocked and took two steps back, almost falling down.
After hearing the other party's introduction, Franklin's hair stood up for a moment. He thought of many things in that moment, including why this man was qualified to accompany the prime minister and walked into his reception room with the prime minister.
"Come here! Come here!" Subconsciously, he wanted to summon his guards. On the one hand, he wanted to take down this bastard who killed his illegitimate son, and on the other hand, he wanted to protect his personal safety.
"If I were you, just listen quietly to what I have to say." The middle-aged man made a silent gesture, and then continued: "I found some things in Woodrow, including human trafficking, kidnapping, and murder.
, as well as embezzling state-owned assets, using illegal gains to pay bribes...etc..."
His words made Franklin stop calling for help, because he knew that his illegitimate son should have a ledger in his hand, which was the capital for his livelihood.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is best not to let too many people know about this matter, because this ledger obviously records too many things that should not be known to others. So Franklin kept his mouth shut.
, stared at the middle-aged man who spoke quietly and viciously.
The middle-aged man bypassed where the prime minister was sitting, walked up to Franklin, and continued to speak. His tone was full of contempt, but with a chilling coldness: "There are frequent appearances inside.
I picked up a name, Franklin... you see, is it a coincidence? So I inquired a little bit, and asked a lot of things."
"You!" Franklin pointed his finger at the middle-aged man. Franklin, who was already feeling dizzy, was furious and his face was filled with anger.
The middle-aged man moved Franklin's fingers away, approached him, looked at his old face, and warned in a cold voice: "Don't point your finger at me, or I will be very scared. Tomorrow, I will take one-tenth of you with me."
Get your family property out of the Wright Kingdom...or just bury it here and don't leave...it's your choice, I don't care, really."
Before Franklin could say anything else, the old prime minister began to persuade him: "Franklin...get out of here."
"Sir..." Franklin spoke bitterly, as if he wanted to say something more. But in the end, he still didn't have the courage to continue speaking.
"Let's go." The old prime minister stood up and walked towards the door. He seemed to be calling the middle-aged man he had brought, and he seemed to be talking to Franklin, who was standing there blankly.
"I understand..." In the end, Franklin was defeated. He lowered his head dejectedly and said softly.
The middle-aged man glanced at the other party, and while talking, he followed the old prime minister out: "Let's do the handover work tonight! I don't have that much patience!"
The old prime minister paused, turned around and told the middle-aged man: "Let's go! After all, he is also the minister of finance, and the kingdom's face is still important."
The middle-aged man immediately smiled, bent down slightly, and humbly flattered the old prime minister: "That's natural. From now on, Silver Fox Company's business in the royal city will all depend on you, the prime minister."
"By the way, Mr. Tang Mo was so generous that he gave up the position of Minister of Finance to a confidant?" After walking out of the Minister of Finance's residence, when the old prime minister got on the carriage, he turned around and asked the middle-aged man who was supporting him.
.
The middle-aged man immediately smiled and explained: "Sir Simone is still very capable, and the master also trusts him very much."
He also thought that his master should actually serve as the Kingdom's Minister of Finance, but who would have thought that Simone, the little tax collector of Bunas who had just taken refuge in Tang Mo, would have such great fortune?
Tang Mo really gave up this position to an old tax official, and let this old man take over many properties in the royal city.
The old prime minister glanced at this middle-aged man who was well-established and very capable, and praised him: "You are very good, you must be one of Tang Mo's confidants, right?"
The middle-aged man immediately apologized and said with a smile: "You are joking, sir. I am just a nobody. What I am today depends entirely on the appreciation and cultivation of my master."
What he said was not modest, because in Tang Mo's system, people at the bottom of the Silver Fox Tavern like him were not actually considered confidants.
In Tang Mo's system, the most important ones are the direct descendants who graduated from the military cadets of the Tang Dynasty, then the outstanding people who learned Tang Mo's theoretical knowledge in extra classes at night school, and then there are the side branches who are self-taught with manuals - and
This middle-aged man belongs to the third category.
When the old prime minister heard what the other party said, he immediately laughed: "Hahahaha! I feel more and more that Mr. Tang Mo is an unparalleled hero."
"That's true." The middle-aged man did not restrain his admiration at all.
"Huh? Hahahahaha! That's good!" The old prime minister was stunned, and then continued to laugh.
