Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat
Chapter 71 No martial ethics
After everyone finished discussing, they dispersed and went back to their homes.
Lu Yi returned to his mansion. The butler who followed him couldn't help but express his doubts when he saw that he had returned home.
"Lord Count, do we really want to go against those peasants and Lady Finina? You know, Lady Finina is the water god. If something goes wrong..."
The butler did not continue speaking, but Lu Yi understood what he meant. He still trusted this butler who had served the family since he was very young, so he was not angry.
Lu Yi just laughed disdainfully and said to the butler.
"I'm not stupid enough to go against the gods. Even if we don't turn ourselves in, Villette will definitely find out about us. They may not be able to do anything to us for a while, but once they support new officials, that will be our end."
"My father told me before he died that I could offend anyone in Fontaine, but I could not offend Lady Funina. Fontaine could be without anyone, but it could not be without the God of Water."
The butler heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that his master had not been carried away by the situation. However, this also raised new questions for him.
"Since the Earl knows the consequences of resistance, why did he say so at the meeting..."
"Why let those peasants die?"
Lu Yi interrupted the butler, and the butler lowered his head and fell silent. Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled and said.
"Only if these people resisted Lady Funina's will can we make up for our crimes and make up for our crimes."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper suddenly realized what was going on and immediately praised Lu Yi for his intelligence.
Lu Yi waved his hand modestly, indicating that it was just a small trick, and then asked the butler to write out a list of officials involved in the smuggling and prepare double the Mora. He wanted to make amends for his crime tomorrow.
The next morning, Lu Yi got up early, packed up everything, and rushed to Momang Palace with the butler and Mora.
After arriving at Momang Palace, Lu Yi learned from Sedna that Villette had not come to work yet, so he had to take the housekeeper to the waiting area nearby to wait. However, in the waiting area, Lu Yi met an unexpected person.
"Victor, why are you here?"
Victor, who was sitting in a chair feeling uneasy, quickly raised his head when he heard Lu Yi's voice. When he found out that it was Lu Yi who spoke, his body suddenly tensed up. However, when he saw the bags on the butler's body, he understood Lu Yi's purpose.
So he heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed and greeted Lu Yi,
"Oh, isn't this Count Louis? What a coincidence! I wonder what brings you here to see Master Villette so early in the morning?"
Lu Yi, who had already guessed what Victor wanted to do, was furious, but he still pretended to be enthusiastic and answered.
"I heard a piece of news from my subordinates that may affect the stability of Fontaine. Because of the importance of this matter, I had to come and report to Lord Villette in person early in the morning. Why did you want to find Lord Villette?"
After hearing what Lu Yi said, Victor slapped his forehead and said in pretended surprise.
"What a coincidence. I also got some important news to report to Lord Villette."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence indeed."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two stopped talking.
'Bah, old fox.' x2
After waiting for a while in an awkward environment, the three of them finally saw Kenavillette preparing to walk into the office, so the two of them hurriedly stood up and quickly ran towards Kenavillette. Both of them wanted to hand the list in their hands to Kenavillette first. Only in this way could they be considered the "first credit", and the information provided by the next person would be greatly discounted.
In the end, the spoiled Lu Yi was not as fast as Victor, the deputy captain of the security team.
"Then Master Villette, I have something to report to you."
Villette had discovered these three people early in the morning. After interrogating the people from the Vashey criminal group yesterday, he received the news from Alicia. After hearing the big trouble that Alicia had brought upon him, Villette almost fainted. His previous feelings of being touched were in vain. This Alicia only made arrangements but did not do any work.
I just waved my hand and pushed all the troubles onto myself. I won't be able to reduce my workload in the short term.
Although he was speechless in his heart, Villette knew exactly the purpose of these two groups of people.
"Then Master Villette, I have something to ask you as well."
Lu Yi, who was lagging behind, also ran to Villette and spoke to him hurriedly.
"I already know the purpose of your visit. Come in and talk."
Villette spoke to the three people expressionlessly, then pushed open the door of the office and walked in. Seeing this, Lu Yi glared at Victor and hurriedly followed him in. Victor and the butler followed closely behind.
After Villette sat down in her office chair, Lu Yi hurried forward and said.
"Sir Villet, I am a nobleman, blessed by my ancestors, and I have my current position. I was obsessed with money and tarnished the glory of my ancestors and committed a serious mistake. Fortunately, Lady Funina was merciful and gave me a chance to atone for my sins. Today, I am offering you a double fine and a list of other accomplices to express my guilt."
Seeing that his lines were basically snatched away by Lu Yi, Victor couldn't think of anything else to say and could only say.
"Then Lord Villette, so do I."
After listening to what the two said, Villette just slowly raised his head and spoke to them.
"I will report your confession to Ms. Funina truthfully. Just put the fine and the list aside and leave. I still have some things to deal with."
"This...I know. Please excuse me, Lord Villette."
Although Lu Yi was a little bit at a loss about Villette's indifferent attitude, fortunately his Qi-cultivation skills were still quite good, so he didn't get entangled too much and went out directly with his butler.
Seeing this, Victor didn't want to stay here any longer, so he followed and walked out of the office.
In fact, Villette was not really unconcerned about the two lists. Although he had obtained a lot of information about the officials involved through interrogation, he still needed to compare the contents of the two lists to see if there were any hidden fish that had slipped through the net.
It's just that he didn't want to show any eagerness, as this would keep the two of them in the dark and make them live in fear because of this matter, so as to avoid him always jumping out and causing trouble.
The official who had agreed with Lu Yi and Victor last night to fight against Funina together and refused to surrender heard the news from somewhere, so Lu Yi and Victor surrendered.
This made them suddenly confused and they kept cursing these two old dogs in their hearts for being unsportsmanlike. Then they hurriedly ran towards Villette's office, ready to surrender to Villette and pay the fine.
(There is one more chapter I have scheduled until 8pm)
