After returning to Brandenburg, Gnod was killed as usual. Not only that, he also boasted about being honored by William in Sanssouci Palace. When the news reached William's ears, William couldn't wait to kill Gnod.
Virtue comes quickly.
It wouldn't matter if Gernaud was Louise's biological brother. William could tolerate him showing off like this. After all, he is a relative. But the key point is that Gernaud is not Louise's biological brother. You don't even know how to get around this level of cousins.
How far did it take to get around Louise, and now, fortunately, she actually treats herself as an outsider.
Besides, your Gnod's brain is just like a pig's brain. Who doesn't know about your relationship? The whole world has to shout about how you made William so miserable. Why don't you know that the guy with the wink should be dealt with, otherwise it's better to deal with it.
You know how much trouble you've caused yourself.
In early June of 1782, when Gernaud was enjoying his success, he was put under house arrest by Ferdinand's people one morning. Although Gernaud shouted about his identity as uncle, Ferdinand's men were still under house arrest.
These people had already received the instructions and ignored him.
Half an hour later, Gnold's family gathered in the living room
"Denavi, I will arrange for someone to cover you when you go out. Remember to go to Sanssouci Palace immediately after you go out. Then ask to see the Queen Mother Louise and inform Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother about the situation here. Remember not to expose your whereabouts!
"
Gnod stood by the window and looked at the tightly lined guards outside the window and whispered to his son Denavi.
"Gnold, you are the Queen Mother's brother, how dare these people put you under house arrest here?"
Jenny on the side suppressed the fear in her heart and whispered to Genod. But after hearing Jenny's words, Genod's frown deepened.
"I think Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother must not know the situation here, otherwise she would not be able to allow these people to act recklessly. By the way, Jenny, you destroyed those things in my study immediately. I think something may have happened."
As he said this, a thunderbolt flashed across Genod's mind. He realized something was wrong, and before Jenny could react, he rushed to the study. But just as Genod left the room, a group of soldiers broke in.
Gnold's house.
"I don't care who you are, please get out immediately, this is private property that is sacrosanct!"
Genold looked at the uninvited guests who had barged in and suppressed the panic in his heart and began to question sharply, but unexpectedly these soldiers ignored Genold. Not a single officer even looked at Genold and loudly commanded:
"You, you go there, you guys go there, you go upstairs, you must search carefully for me."
Hearing that these people were about to search his house, Gnod rushed forward and opened his hands to stop these soldiers. At the same time, he shouted loudly:
"What are you doing! I am the brother of the Queen Mother Louise, and His Majesty the King wants to call me uncle. Who gave you the courage to not only put me under house arrest, but also to search my home!"
"Get him away from me, it's really annoying! You are you, everyone stands still and is not allowed to move. I will arrest anyone who moves!"
The officer looked impatiently at Gnord's instructions to his soldiers. Suddenly he saw Jenny trying to run, and he shouted quickly, and his words successfully stopped Jenny.
What Gnod didn't know was that Prince Ferdinand was outside his home at this moment. The reason why Ferdinand appeared at this time was to prevent some emergencies, and after all, Gnod's identity was quite special. If not
If a powerful person is in charge, he may not be able to suppress Gnod's accomplices.
At this moment, the area around Gnod's home has been sealed off, and soldiers have been placed on guard in nearby streets. Not only Gnod's family, but all the people whose names appear on the piece of paper in Ferdinand's hand are now being arrested.
Search and arrest.
Such a big movement obviously can only rely on the local garrison in Brandenburg. What if someone in the garrison colludes with Gnod and his gang? It will be over. Ferdinand came this time with William's royal guard.
Three Brandenburg garrison cordoned off the entire city, while the royal guards were responsible for arrests.
Another advantage of these royal guards is that they are not afraid of offending others. As William's personal soldiers, they do not need to act based on other people's faces, and William has always been very kind to his own guards, so only these royal guards dare to attack Bran.
The big shots in Fort Deng took action.
Listening to the screams and the sound of items being smashed from Gnod's house, Ferdinand did not move. Ferdinand had already taken care of these people before taking action. As long as there is any suspicion, he must be careful.
Searching, I would rather demolish all the houses to find evidence of the crime of the head of the household.
Before William sent these royal guards to follow Ferdinand, he also said that everyone must obey Ferdinand's orders unconditionally, and William also added that unless he appeared in front of these guards in person, Ferdinand would
Whatever you ask them to do, they must do.
Soon, within an hour, two thin notebooks were presented to Ferdinand. Ferdinand briefly browsed through them. The more he read, the more angry he felt in his heart, but he held back the anger in his heart.
impulse
"Take everyone inside and send someone to check if there are any missing people."
This operation was arranged by William himself to Henry and Ferdinand without telling Louise. He not only sent his own royal guards to assist Ferdinand, but also gave them a Sword of Shangfang, that is, those who dare to resist or have evil intentions.
, William allowed Ferdinand to use coercive measures, even killing him.
As a result, Ferdinand, who held the Shangfang sword in his hand, naturally killed everyone. In one day, more than 200 people in Brandenburg were searched, more than 50 officials were arrested, and more than 30 businessmen were summoned.
A dozen officers of the Landenburg garrison were also dismissed from their posts on the spot and then arrested.
For a time, the prison in Brandenburg was overcrowded. Not only those with evidence, but also some people who had no definite evidence but were somewhat related to the matter were arrested. As William said, it is better to arrest the wrong person than to let it go.
William sat in the study and calculated the time. Ferdinand must have started taking action by now. Just when William was stunned, Louise broke into the study angrily.
"Mother, why are you here?"
William quickly stood up and said hello to Louise
"Can I not come? If I don't come, I won't know whether Gnod is alive or dead."
Hearing Louise mention Gnold, William's face looked a little ugly, but he still put on a smile and said:
"How could it be? Mr. Gnod has always been kind to others, so how could he die?"
As he spoke, William motioned for Louise to sit on the sofa aside, but Louise didn't seem to see the gesture made by William.
"William, you don't have to pretend to me. There are fewer guards in the palace, and it is said that those royal guards who are on duty have been taken away by Ferdinand to perform special tasks. Don't you think I am a fool?"
"Well, I did arrange some things for the guards to do, but what does this have to do with Gnod?"
William couldn't confess as soon as Louise said it, so for now he could only continue to defend.
"William, you are still trying to quibble with me. Those guards went to Brandenburg to capture Gnod. If I hadn't heard someone tell me, I wouldn't have known. Well, when you grow up, I told you a few days ago.
If so, you’ve forgotten everything!”
Obviously Louise was really angry this time. She did not care about her and William's identities at all, but purely educated William from a mother's perspective, which was not the case in normal times. "Okay, since you know
Well, I won’t hide it from you. Gnord is suspected of providing inferior war horses and liaising with the enemy. There are more than 5,000 war horses involved, and the amount is as high as tens of millions of silver marks. I must arrest him and interrogate him!"
William's words made Louise seem a little unbelievable, but then Louise became even more angry
"A few days ago, you told me it was two million silver marks, and now you tell me tens of millions. William, do you insist on putting Gennold to death?"
"The facts are conclusive. The things that Gnold committed are not as much as others say. Do you know what Gnold has done outside in your name? He has committed corruption and perverted the law. He has done nothing like this.
If you don’t kill people, it’s not enough for the people to be angry!”
When William said the word "kill", Louise was a little frightened. Although William was only twelve years old, he looked the same as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. What's more important was that William had personally gone to the battlefield and killed.
People, people who have killed people will have something called evil energy on their bodies, and Louise is no stranger to this kind of thing.
When Frederick the Great was not dead, Louise always had a frightening feeling every time she met Frederick, and that feeling was just like today.
"William, you have grown up, but Gernaud is my relative after all. Just let him live."
Hearing William's determination, Louise obviously gave up her original idea of not condemning him. What Louise wanted most now was to save Gnold's life.
"Mother, let's take a look at what evidence we have found first. If the circumstances are not serious, I can be lenient, but if the circumstances are very serious, mother, you know the rules of the Hohenzollern family."
Hearing William mention the rules of the Hohenzollern family, Louise was stunned for a moment, and then slumped.
The Hohenzollern family rules are very simple. Everything in the family is for Prussia. Anyone who hinders Prussia's progress is a sinner of the family. Anyone who harms Prussia's interests must be punished with the harshest punishment.
It is obvious that William has placed Gnod in the position of a person who harmed the interests of Prussia. In this way, Louise can no longer insist on her opinion, and if the circumstances are really serious, Gnod's life will be
