Codex Pirates

Chapter 148: Eyes and Ears

The long-faced aristocrat was also startled, his body bounced off the sofa like an electric shock, far away from the rolling head on the ground.

"Who is this, who did this?" the long-faced nobleman shouted incoherently.

"Morgan Pirates, it's Morgan Pirates." Earl Pere said weakly as he slumped on the sofa.

He has really seen the ferocity of the pirates, and the Sapphire Pirates now seem to be more or less ominous.

This head is obviously a warning, an expression of dissatisfaction with his repeated violation of the Morgan Pirates' decree.

Earl Perret fully demonstrated what it means to be strong on the outside but hard on the inside, and he was full of confidence before, but now he seems jittery. He feels that the Morgan Pirates seem to be able to kill them at any time, and he is completely panicked.

The long-faced nobleman saw that Earl Perret was completely flustered, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is this 'Morgan Pirates' the group of Navian Kingdom pirates that you don't deal with?"

"It's them, it's them!" Earl Pere subconsciously amplified his voice because of fear, "These people are lawless. They even killed my people and sent their heads here!"

The long-faced nobleman didn't speak anymore, but in his heart, he had firmly remembered the name of the Morgan Pirates.

...

The nobles of the Kingdom of Goa have their troubles, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Navia also have their own troubles.

In the Kingdom of Navia, the manor of the Minister of the Interior, Earl Rild, the meeting room, because the curtains were drawn, the light seemed a bit dim, and both the servants and the housekeeper were kicked out of the room, and they were sitting in the room at this time All of them were nobles trusted by the Minister of the Interior Reard.

These people have one thing in common, that is, without exception, they are dissatisfied with Arcadio, the Minister of Finance.

The Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau, which specializes in investigating and dealing with alcohol prohibition issues, is a Pandora's box. When William deliberately handed this box to Arcadio, he had no good intentions.

This is a secret service department. In the hands of a rational person, this kind of department can naturally play its due role, but in the hands of a person like Arcadio, it will inevitably be used to attack dissidents and eliminate competitors.

Arcadio couldn't tie him up, and he didn't want to tie up this mad dog who caught and bit him. He took advantage of Norton I's emphasis on his own monarchy, his trust in himself, and the authority of the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau to bring down several Aristocrats, even including the prime minister who could vaguely avoid him.

This instead made Norton I more satisfied with him and the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau, feeling that they were indeed doing their duty.

This kind of result puts everyone in a group of nobles at risk. Although Arcadio was considered rich and powerful in the past, he was far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, but now he has the ability to turn black and white.

"To bring down Arcadio, we must first get rid of his two key figures, Crowe from the Investigation Bureau, and Stolt from the militia." A nobleman said.

Someone asked back: "How to get rid of them? We have been suppressing them for almost a year, otherwise Stolt would have been eligible to participate in the daily hall meeting, what else can we do now?"

"Maybe we can destroy them physically." A tall and thin nobleman suggested sullenly.

"Don't dream, the original Andre was no match for Stolt." A middle-aged bald nobleman sitting next to him shook his head and objected.

"Just poison it," said the thin and tall nobleman disapprovingly. "His subordinates are just a group of low-born reckless men. As long as we get rid of Stolt, our status as a group of nobles will be enough to calm them down and give them peace." A few small favors are enough to win them into our camp. I don't believe that among Stolt's people, there is no second person who wants to become a nobleman. Thio is equivalent to losing a general."

The Minister of the Interior, Earl Reard, who had been silent all this time, finally knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "This can be used as a backup plan, but the current first choice is to try to win them over." come over."

"How? They were all single-handedly picked up by Arcadio."

"They are all a group of humble villains, they only have interests in their eyes, and they don't have any loyalty at all. They voted for Arcadio only because of interests, but as long as they know that Arcadio can give them, We can also give, or even give more, not afraid that they will not be tempted." said Earl Reard, Minister of the Interior.

"Crow is not easy to win over, he doesn't want to get in." One person obviously tried to win over Crow, but failed, so he said.

"Then try to win over Stolter. Without his assistance, whether it is Arcadio or Crowe, there is no reliable man who can use it," Earl Rild thought. "Although he is a member of Arcadio, he is quite slick. He still maintains the law and order of the entire noble district with all his heart, and he does not offend other nobles. Unlike Crowe, who does not sell face, There should be a possibility to win over."

A group of nobles looked at each other: "I hope so."

"If it doesn't work, we can only find a way to poison him."

"This kind of treacherous minister doesn't know how to correct evil and return to righteousness, and he deserves to die."

When the nobles in the house condemned Arcadio, William and the others, there was a soft knock outside the door.

There was a sudden silence in the room when the sound came, and a nobleman next to the door quickly opened the door, and saw a tall, red-haired young maid in a maid outfit holding a tray. Standing outside the door with a stunned face, watching the movement of her other hand, it seemed that she wanted to knock on the door.

"Anna?" Earl Rild frowned and looked the maid up and down, vaguely remembering the maid's name, "Didn't I say that no one should come near here?"

The maid named Anna said timidly: "Mr. Butler said, the master is having a meeting with your lords. I calculated the time. The tea should be gone, so I came here to change the tea."

"You don't need it, you go down." Hearing this, Reard waved his hand impatiently.

Anna bowed carefully and left in a hurry.

The noble at the door closed the door again, and the others began to discuss the follow-up arrangements, but their voices were much quieter.

On the other side, Anna left the conference room with a normal expression and came to the kitchen. After putting away the things on the tray, her complexion suddenly changed, and she frowned slightly and covered her belly.

Seeing this, several other servants in the kitchen asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Anna said vaguely on purpose.

Two of the maids looked at each other and persuaded: "Then you go and have a rest, the housekeeper is here, if there is any work, we will help you deal with it."

Anna couldn't stop thanking her in a weak tone, and left the kitchen slowly, and returned to normal when no one was there. He was very familiar with the environment in the manor, avoiding others all the way, walked to the back door and left, sneaking Go in the direction of the slums.
