king.

Chapter 509 The old actor
In the Emerald Palace, Hudson, who was temporarily called for a meeting, found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he entered the hall.

All the nobles sitting here glared at him, as if they were digging up their ancestral graves, or shooting at their wives and daughters.

Hudson was speechless at the scene in front of him.In the recent period, he has not done anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that the previous things were exposed?
Thinking of this, Hudson was also confused.There is no way, all the way to the present, he has done a lot of taboo things.

For example: privately kept the "Blood Moon Horn" and sold it to the Holy See.

Another example: private possession of the divine weapon Bright Holy Sword.

Some time ago, he cooperated with King Caesar IV to make a deal with the Mosi people, and secretly divided up the interests that originally belonged to everyone.

……

All in all, after gathering a large number of them, Hudson discovered his dark history, which was no less than that of other great nobles.

"Why are you all looking at me like this? Isn't it just a little late to come? As for making such a big fuss!"

Hudson responded angrily.

Without knowing what happened, he couldn't lose his momentum.The meeting place is the kingdom's meeting hall, which means that the situation has not reached the point where it cannot be ended.

If he was really going to mess with him, he would have already arranged various traps.How could it be possible for him to enter here and discuss matters with a group of big bosses of the kingdom!

"Marshal Hudson, the kingdom has produced a large number of talents recently, and you have made great contributions!"

The words of the prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, instantly made Hudson understand that his feelings were a scapegoat for others.

The heart that was still uneasy at first suddenly fell down.If he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Could it be possible to beat him to death?
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, isn't it a good thing for the kingdom to have a large number of talents, why be angry!
Could it be that someone deliberately messed up things and wanted to frame her up?

Could it be that Hudson is easy to bully, no matter what, he can buckle on my head! "

Seeing Hudson who was grievance mixed with anger, everyone couldn't help but hesitate.When it comes to the marshal of the kingdom, one cannot act hastily.

Although violating unspoken rules and disseminating inherited knowledge that is strictly sealed by all parties is a taboo in the aristocratic circle, it also depends on who is committing the crime.

If it is an ordinary nobleman, just pull down the horse and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.But Hudson is different. The kingdom still needs him as a marshal to deal with aliens.

Before that, everyone didn't think about how to deal with this matter.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, I am not talking nonsense. After investigation by the Kingdom, a set of cultivation methods from the Principality of Moxi has been widely circulated among the lower-level noble circles, and now almost everyone has a copy."

The Grand Duke of Newfoundland responded.

It's just that the tone is not as strong as before.Although it is certain that the item was brought back by the expeditionary force, it does not mean that it must have been passed on by Hudson.

If you are in a hurry to make a decision, in case something goes wrong, it will not end well.

It's just that as the prime minister of the kingdom, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland has no choice.This kind of offending thing, if he doesn't show up, he can't let the king do it, right?

"What's so strange about that!

During the last orc invasion, the Principality of Moxi had destroyed so many nobles, and it was only natural that some of the inheritance was lost.

Could it be that you think I let the inheritance go?
This is too high to look at me!

Back then, I was not a marshal of the kingdom, just a lowly country nobleman, how could I quietly spread the inheritance throughout the kingdom if I wanted to be under everyone's noses? "

It's okay not to explain, but after such an explanation, it made everyone more and more convinced that Hudson did it.

Other small nobles do not have the ability to spread the inheritance knowledge to the entire kingdom, but the Koslow family has it!

Although they are minor nobles, they cannot hold back the prosperity of the Koslow family.

Marriage in the aristocratic circle, being able to have a baby is a plus.Under the same conditions, men and women of the Koslow family are very popular in marriages.

Originally, the distribution of clan members was wide, but if relatives and friends were counted, the distribution would be even wider.

Visiting relatives, the most normal interpersonal communication, no one will suspect anything.

Relying on his own network, Hudson is fully capable of selling the inherited knowledge in exchange for the funds needed for the development of the territory.

It just so happened that during the development of the territory, the income and expenditure of the Mountain Territory were seriously unbalanced, and it was only through the difficulties that Hudson obtained the mysterious funds.

Everyone thought it was war money, and everyone admired Hudson's ability to make money.Looking back now, that was not the case at all.

War money is also limited. In front of many participants, no unfavorable rumors spread afterwards, which proves that Hudson did not take too much at that time.

Anyway, the Koslow family has a thriving population. Even if the blockade of the lower classes is broken, they can still win by virtue of their advantage in population base.

No one knows the exact number of clan members, but the Koslow family has hundreds of nobles who only own fiefdoms, and Hudson even created a knight order composed of pure family children.

As the family with the largest number of Dingkou in the kingdom, they are not afraid of the impact of the outside world after the blockade is broken.

"Whether you believe it or not, these inheritances are not released by me anyway. It is impossible to slander me by means.

If you have an idea, check it out.With so many people involved, it's impossible for all the insiders to keep the secret! "

Hudson explained helplessly.

The proposal of a thorough investigation is pure nonsense.Even with a knife resting on his neck, it is impossible for the nobles below to confess honestly.

He refused to admit it, and insisted that they were seized from the battlefield, and no one could do anything to them.

If he confesses frankly and exposes the news of purchasing inheritance from the Moxi people, then he will be dead.

In fact, it is useless for these people to confess.They themselves don't know who the real transaction partner is, and the Moxi people also put on a vest before taking action.

If you follow this clue, you will be detoured into a dead end sooner or later.This kind of thing that happened a few years ago, unless the executor can be found, is a death case.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone with a heart guessed that the Moxi people did it, but if there is no evidence, how can George admit it?
As long as the Moxi people can withstand the pressure and refuse to admit their responsibility to the outside world, Hudson has no risk of being exposed.

Anyway, the major forces in the Southern Continent can't reach the Principality of Moxi, and the countries of the Northern Continent and the Central Continent will pull them to form the Five Nations Alliance to jointly fight against the Alien Alliance. There is no way to be serious about this matter.

The truth has not yet been revealed, and Hudson took the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation, which caught everyone by surprise.

Everyone thought that Hudson did it and planned to deal with it privately, but the situation is obviously different now.

If you dare to reveal the matter to the public, you are either sure that the Kingdom cannot find out, or you really did nothing.

This is different from the previous temptation. It involves a marshal of the kingdom. It is uncertain, but no one dares to draw conclusions easily.

"Well, I believe that Marshal Hudson is innocent! Any accident may happen during the war, and it is normal for inheritance to flow out.

Things have happened, so deal with them positively.For the Kingdom, the matter is also a mixed blessing.

In the long run, this will impact the political structure of the kingdom; but in a short time, it will increase the strength of the kingdom.

According to the situation reported by everyone, the overall strength of the kingdom's nobles has improved a lot.If there is another war with the orcs, our chances of holding the Near East will increase greatly.

If you fight well, you may be able to push the border forward a few hundred miles.The extra land can just be used to house these new strong men. "

Caesar IV said with a smile.

The opportunity to attack Hudson's reputation is gone, so it is natural to change the strategy in time to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

As for the matter of inheritance and exile, it is natural to wait for the results of the investigation before we can make a qualitative statement.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly reversed, as if nothing happened just now.Everyone discussed how to toss the orc empire.

Clearly, Hudson made the right bet again this time.The situation of the Alpha Kingdom is special, even if it is hit, there are ways to release the pressure.

The big deal is to transfer the conflict to the orcs.If they win on the battlefield, they will seize the land from the orcs and place these emerging powerhouses; if they lose on the battlefield, almost everyone will die, and their interests will also disappear.

Although the impact brought about by the spread of inheritance is great, the real victims are those big nobles with a small population.

Other great nobles, as long as they can have a few more cubs, rely on their advantages in resources, they can still gain the upper hand in the competition.

It's just that the small nobles with a prosperous population will have a hard time in the future.There is a precedent for Hudson, but no one wants to do it again.

It's good that there are no genius children born, but once they are born, they are bound to be suppressed by powerful factions everywhere.

Looking at the situation of the Dalton family, we know that if Hudson hadn't moved to the Near East, they would be pulled down by the Koslow family sooner or later.

Everything was uneventful, except Earl Pierce who was a little embarrassed.He was the first to discover the problem. Although he didn't deliberately stab the Kingdom, it was indeed leaked from him.

In the aristocratic circle, what everyone pursues is: stay on the front line when doing things, so that we can meet each other in the future.

It's not that there are conflicts that cannot be eased, and few people kill them.After all, a ruthless name has a great impact on the reputation of nobles.

……

Not surprisingly, the result of the kingdom's investigation was nothing.

Lacking strong evidence, and involving a marshal of the kingdom, all parties tacitly chose to shelve the issue.

Soon Hudson's suspicion was cleared, not because the investigation team worked hard, but because similar situations occurred in various parts of the mainland.

The Koslow family has the ability to spread the inherited knowledge to the kingdom, but it does not have the ability to spread it across the entire continent.

To be precise, no family has the ability to spread its influence to every corner of the continent.

Only the power of the country can quietly spread the inherited knowledge.

What surprised Hudson was that the prime suspect caught by everyone was not the Principality of Moxi, but the Holy See of Dawn.

What exactly is going on, Hudson is also at a loss.Anyway, the investigation results released by various countries point the finger at the Holy See.

The evidence is very nonsensical. Leakage of inherited knowledge has occurred everywhere, but the area controlled by the Holy See is calm.

There is no doubt that the Moxi people are also picking targets when they sell their inherited knowledge.There are many fanatics in the area controlled by the Holy See.

Religious fanatics cannot be judged by common sense.Even a win-win deal can cause problems.

In Dapace Palace, George was looking at the documents compiled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.The fire could not be contained in the paper, and finally it was time to erupt.

Regret is out of the question. If the "inherited knowledge" hadn't been sold off back then, the Principality of Moxi would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could it have grown so much today.

After enjoying the bonus, it is natural to bear the corresponding price.

"Everyone, the matter can no longer be covered up. Don't look at the fact that the Holy See is taking the blame for us now, but this kind of thing won't last long.

As long as we pay attention to the financial situation of the principality, all parties will soon suspect us.

Negotiations on the five-nation alliance must be accelerated.In case the news leaks out, you can also rely on the power of the alliance to cover the bottom line! "

George said helplessly.

If the evidence is important, it is indeed very important; if it is not important, that is the case.

A huge amount of funds from unknown sources was enough to send the Principality of Moxi into the vortex of the storm.As long as the source of funds cannot be explained, all parties will soon find them.

No matter how many vests are used, it is impossible to check directly from them.Even if a few years have passed, it is impossible to completely erase all the clues.

"Your Majesty, there must be a reasonable explanation for the source of the Principality's funds. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

Even if the Five Nations Alliance can provide us with asylum, it still needs to pay a price.We owed such a big favor to the Four Kingdoms from the very beginning, and in the future, we will not have the right to speak in the alliance! "

Prime Minister Herceg said solemnly.

It's never easy to make people angry.What's more, they also blamed the Holy See, and they were destined to suffer revenge afterwards.

Holding tight to the alliance's thigh is just a negative response plan. The best choice is to muddy the water and clear the suspicion on yourself.

According to the practice of the continent of Aslante, as long as this kind of unclear matter is involved in the Holy See, the final shit pot will most likely be held on their heads.

The truth is important, but suppressing the Holy See is equally important.

It won't work if you don't work hard to suppress it, the Holy See has too much influence among the people.In many cases, the words of the clergy are more effective than the lord.

If the pope plays, the king has to stand aside.

If you want to maintain your own power, you must pull down the prestige of the Holy See.Revealing the black history of the Holy See and putting shit on their heads are all daily operations.

Of course, this time the situation is special.Even if it was blamed, not many people scolded the Holy See.

In the dark, there are even many small nobles who have made a profit, thinking of them.

"Prime Minister, it's hard to explain the origin of the funds! In recent years, we have discovered seven treasures.

I really can't make it up!

For the sake of acting, everyone took out the treasures, put them into the treasures and walked on.

We have arranged for all the rumors of treasures in the Principality.If you continue acting like this, something will happen sooner or later! "

The Minister of War, Earl Martins, refused.

As a treasure digger, he has taken on a lot of pressure.In order to make the performance more realistic, the Principality of Moxi will hold an auction after each excavation.

After all, treasures cannot only be unearthed gold coins, but more appear in the form of jewelry, magic weapons, mysterious inheritance, rare treasures, etc.

All the items that were put up for auction were provided by the major nobles in the country.The things I took were auctioned back at my own expense.

The money was laundered in the auction house once.It's just that no matter how hard it is, the number of actors is limited.

As long as it appears in front of people, it cannot be taken out again.After a few times of tossing around, the family properties of several great nobles in the Principality of Moxi were searched over and over.

Even so, the laundered funds still cannot fill the huge expense hole in the development of the Principality of Moxi.

"If you can't continue acting, you have to act. If there is no other way, I will order a batch of special magic potions and find a way to make old packaging bottles.

These things are not unique, so they can be auctioned a few more times, right?
Master Kemboy, haven't you lived in the principality before, next time we will excavate his remains.

As a master of magic potions in the mainland, he has a large amount of magic potions, and they have been preserved until now. I think everyone can accept it.

Some alchemy equipment is also put in, the specifics are up to you.

In addition, dig out a few more gold mines.Reserves and purity are not important. Anyway, if we say it is a rich ore, it must be a rich ore.

If there is anything else that can make money, you go down and add it slowly.Even if it is borrowed from outside, the principality's finances must look normal! "

George was going all out.When things have come to this point, they must either carry it to the end, or come out to spread hatred.

……

Mountain Territory, Lord's Mansion.

After handing over the little son in his hand to Melissa, Hudson hit the eldest son's ass and output.

Bear boy can't do without beating.

At a young age, he learned to play tricks.Actually, while Hudson was not paying attention, he wreaked havoc in his study.

After the work was over, Franz, who didn't know that he had caused trouble, ran to Hudson to claim credit with the torn book fragments.

Needless to say, he must experience what a father's love is like a mountain.

There is no intercession, and it can be seen from Melissa's angry eyes that if Hudson hadn't made a move, she would have done it herself.

There is no doubt that Hudson was not the only victim.Even Melissa, the mother, could not escape Franz's clutches.

Perfume from the Frankish kingdom was added with an unknown liquid.If it wasn't for Melissa, who was a magician herself, and discovered that it was the pee of a bear child in time, she would have almost been caught.

Father's love and mother's love collapsed at the same time, and Franz's ass was miserable.If it weren't for his young age, he would be playing mixed doubles at the moment.

"Your Excellency, the Principality of Moxi sent an invitation letter. They discovered Master Kempey's laboratory and are planning to hold a large auction in two months."

Tom's words saved Franz's ass.

The number one alchemist in the mainland, the number one magic pharmacist in the mainland, Kemboy's name is deafening.

As the creator of the life essence, Kembai's contribution to the human race is self-evident.

Such a big man's laboratory is full of temptation for any magician or alchemist.

Even Hudson is no exception.He just remembered that in recent years, the Moxi people had unearthed treasures one after another, and his interest suddenly disappeared.

The outside world only thinks that the Principality of Moxi is lucky, relying on the discovery of treasures, it has raised funds for the country's development.

As an insider, Hudson doesn't believe in luck.If he had been so lucky, George would not have taken the risk back then.
