Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

After Alicia finished speaking, she looked at Funina again. Seeing this, Funina understood what Alicia meant, and then stood up and said.

"Ellie's words have been made very clear. I think everyone should have understood. I will keep a close eye on this matter until the end. I hope you will not take any chances or resort to any tricks, otherwise I will let you witness the wrath of the gods."

After Furniture finished speaking, the officials and nobles in the audience said they dared not do anything. Furniture waved her hand to signal the end of the meeting, and then walked out of the meeting room with Alicia.

After the two men left, the atmosphere in the conference room relaxed. Most of the officials said hello to those they knew and went home. What they had experienced today had made them extremely tired, and now they just wanted to go home and have a good rest.

Some people secretly gathered together and agreed on a time to find a place to have a good chat.

Then they left the meeting room together. The originally crowded meeting room soon became empty again, with only a few security guards responsible for cleaning the place.

"Aili, why are you letting them go like this? Isn't this too easy for them? What if the punishment this time is not strong enough and they commit the same offense again?"

As soon as she returned to the room, Funina expressed her doubts to Alicia. You know, before the meeting, Alicia had always advocated severe punishment for them.

"My dear Fu Fu, it's not that I don't want to deal with them severely, but I didn't expect so many people to be involved. If they are all severely punished, it will not only easily cause riots, but also cause chaos in the administrative system of Mo Mang Palace, which will easily give bad people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The stability of a country's political power is the most important thing, right?"

"And another reason I didn't punish them severely this time is to let these insects surface so that we can supervise them. If they dare to do something illegal next time, we will have a reason to kill Kun Jing Hou. After all, we gave them a chance, didn't we?"

"How can you guarantee that they will surrender voluntarily?"

Funina asked in confusion, and Alicia said after touching the silly Fufu's little head.

"Because they don't dare to gamble. The more powerful and wealthy one is, the more afraid of death one is. Now turning oneself in will only lead to a demotion and a small fine. If they conceal the truth, they can't guarantee that others will not betray him for their own benefit. Moreover, after those members of Vashie's criminal organization learned that Vashie was sentenced to death, they tried to find a way to get leniency."

"If there really is someone who is stupid, then it means that he is hopelessly stupid and can't even temporarily stabilize the political situation in Fontaine. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We are indeed lacking a Kun like this right now."

"Colluding with criminal organizations to smuggle arms, attacking gods with the intention of overthrowing the Fontaine regime, these crimes are worthy of the death penalty, right?"

Funina looked at Alishia in disbelief as she showed a sly smile. She didn't expect that Alishia, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, could have so many bad intentions.

But she obviously forgot how she was controlled by Alicia.

As time passed, a full moon hung high in the sky, and many people gathered in a remote little house in Fontaine. These were Fontaine officials who were involved in the smuggling security agency given to Vache. At this moment, they were discussing the surrender that Alicia mentioned.

"Mr. Victor, you are the deputy captain of the Fontaine Guard. Apart from Andre, you are the one most closely involved in this matter. What do you think of Lady Alicia's surrender?"

A middle-aged man who was well-dressed and whose words and actions revealed a noble temperament spoke to the sturdy man in front of him.

Victor's heart sank. This guy obviously wanted him to be the first to do so. Although he was a warrior, it didn't mean that he was not smart. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in such a high position. You know, among these people, he received the most bribes.

Although he was angry, he did not show it and just waved his hands quickly.

"Count Louis, you are an ancient nobleman who has been passed down from the ancient Lemurian Dynasty. You are noble and knowledgeable. Obviously, you have more say in this matter."

Victor's words were also recognized by others. As a long-standing noble, Lu Yi made great contributions in assisting Egolia in governing Fontaine in the early days of her reign. Therefore, he has been passed down to the present day and has his own network of contacts in all aspects of Fontaine. You should know that a large part of these people were introduced by Lu Yi.

Although he did not hold any official position now, no one present dared to look down on him, so everyone asked Lu Yi for advice.

Seeing that his method of diverting the blame did not work, Lu Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with Victor's "unreasonableness", but he could only think of a way.

After a period of silence, Lu Yi suddenly laughed, and his laughter became louder and louder, causing everyone present to look at each other in confusion, not knowing what Lu Yi was crazy about.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Lu Yi still had no intention of stopping, someone finally lost his patience and interrupted his laughter.

"Why does Count Louis laugh?"

Seeing that someone finally asked a question, Lu Yi cursed these idiots for being so tactless. At the same time, he immediately showed a confident look and spoke slowly to everyone.

"I laughed at that Alicia, although she wanted to punish severely, she didn't have the courage to investigate further."

"Oh? I wonder why Count Louis said that?"

An official quickly asked.

"Humph, judging from Lady Funina's attitude, she must have wanted to severely punish us at first, but she didn't expect Andre to betray so many people. She was afraid that if they dealt with all of us, it would make it difficult for the Mo Mang Palace to operate. So, in the end, they could only raise the high and let it go gently, and figured out a way for us to surrender."

Lu Yi said this with full confidence. Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard his words. They breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that they had survived a disaster.

But at this moment, Victor asked another question that concerned everyone present.

"Since Lady Funina and the others don't dare to deal with us, do we still need to surrender ourselves?"

"Turn yourself in? Only fools would turn themselves in. I suggest that we don't go. Are you willing to give up the Mora you have obtained at five times the price? As long as we are of one mind, Lady Funina will not dare to punish us."

"Count Louis, your words are reassuring. Let us agree here that none of us will surrender ourselves."

Everyone present agreed and decided to fight to the end.
