Pirate King: Unparalleled<

After the minor nobles had left, Yorick's two loyal servants stood guard at the two entrances and exits. Only Earl Yorick and Earl Norris were left in the meeting hall. , Baron Charles and Viscount Scott.

"Norris sat opposite Yorick. He put his hands in his arms, his left hand holding his right hand, and his right hand kept rubbing a few short black beards on his chin, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking. ".

Charles and Scott were a little restless, and their hands on the table were trembling slightly. Scott looked at Earl Yorick's fearful trembling and said: "Your Majesty, Earl Yorick, what do you mean by the king?" Your Majesty, does he already know something? Is he ready to take action against us now?"

Yorick glanced sideways at Scott, and reprimanded Scott in a tone of hatred: "Nervousness is such a useless thing. It was just an ordinary test that scared you like this." , how will you complete the established plan next, and how will you follow me to do great things in the future?"

Scott was startled by Count Yorick's reprimand. He slapped himself hard twice, and then quickly responded: "Yes, sir, what you are teaching me is that I am too useless, that I am too useless." I’m nervous.”

Scott, who had calmed down a little, carefully savored Earl Yorick's words, and then he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are saying that His Majesty the King did not find anything, he was just testing us, He wants to make us feel guilty so that we can expose our flaws for him to find.”

Earl Yorick gently picked up the water glass placed on the discussion table and took a sip. After putting it down, he said lightly: "That's natural. He doesn't have any substantial evidence in his hand.

Moreover, the capable subordinate "Ibami" sent to me by the captain of the "White Rhino Pirates" was once a very famous killer in the East China Sea. He was offered a reward of 65 million beri by the navy. But then he disappeared for some reason, and when he appeared again, he came to the ship of the "White Rhino Pirates" and became the captain of a ship under the captain of the "White Rhino Pirates", "Weird Bill".

Ibami has always done things very cleanly and never left any hands or feet behind. Our lovely King, at best, has some guesses and suspicions in his mind, and there is no substantial evidence."

Yorick paused and then said: "But even if His Majesty the King only has speculations in his mind, it means that he has doubts about us and is wary. Next, our plans must be advanced."

Yorick looked at Norris, he smiled and asked: "Norris, what do you think?"

Hearing Yorick's words, Norris relaxed his brows and stopped rubbing his chin. He glanced around the people in front of him and said softly: "My thoughts are the same as yours. His Majesty the King already has something in his heart." We have guessed and suspected that although today is just an ordinary test, I am afraid that force may be used next time. Since we have chosen this path, we must do it thoroughly and leave no room for anything."

"We have to speed up the progress of the plan. Every day we delay, we will be in greater danger."

Yorick looked at Norris and laughed: "It seems that our ideas coincide so much."

Yorick recalled that Frey had mocked him in front of many nobles in the conference hall just now. There was still some residual anger in his heart. He looked at several partners on the conference table and said "Our dear King, His Majesty, can't run around for a few days anymore. Now go back and complete the tasks I've asked you to do."

"I can't wait for that day to come."

At this time, Frey had already brought Tris and Yorick to the study room in the palace, motioned Tris and Harold to find a seat, and then he sat down behind the desk.

Frey sat on the chair and rubbed his sore eyes. When he opened his eyes, he found Tris frowning next to him and not knowing what he was thinking.

So Frey smiled at Tris and asked: "Uncle Tris, if you have any doubts in your heart, you might as well speak out boldly. There is no need to be so secretive in front of me."

When Tris heard Frey's words, he thought about the words in his mind and then asked Frey: "Your Majesty, I just heard your Majesty's words in the meeting hall, and I had a guess in my mind. Your Majesty, you Do you think Yorick Yorick and other nobles?"

Frey directly interrupted Tris who was hesitating and said with a smile: "You want to say that I think Brut's death and the assassin "Ibami" of the "White Rhino Pirates" have something to do with these noble men. It’s related, right?”

"Tris nodded vigorously, and Harold next to him nodded quickly to express that he also wanted to know what he thought."

Frey said coldly to the two of them: "It's not that I think it has something to do with them, but they must have played the role of matchmaker in this assassination against Brut, and they may even be the protagonists."

Frey continued: "I asked Uncle Tris to arrest Brut and imprison their family in secret. Even if Uncle Tris asked the nobles of the royal capital to search Brut's mansion, I was aware of it, but how could the people of the White Rhino Pirates know that Brut was arrested and imprisoned on my order because of the military embezzlement case?"

"Besides, Brut's embezzlement of the military funds issued by the kingdom does not seem to have any special connection with the "White Rhino Pirates", right? Why would they send people all the way to assassinate him?"

"What is the relationship between Brut and the White Rhino Pirates? Are they a team or are they entangled with interests?"

The captain of the White Rhino Pirates sent an assassin to sneak into the royal capital with such great fanfare and assassinate Brut. Obviously, he did not want Brut to reveal any unfavorable news to him, or to those noble gentlemen. There is some bad news."

"For example, the list that Brut hasn't had time to write yet"

"Frey sat on the chair and thought hard, his brows forming a Sichuan shape."

"And Frey's series of questions caused Tris and Harold's brains to shut down, and they almost fainted."

After Harold collected his thoughts, he cautiously asked Frey: "Your Majesty, are you saying that Brut's corruption list involves certain nobles in the country, and that those nobles are related to the "White Rhino Pirates" The people of the "White Rhino Pirates" did not want Brut's list to involve those nobles, so they sent people to assassinate Brut."

Frey, whose thoughts were interrupted, heard Harold's analysis. He looked at Harold in surprise. After a while, Frey gave Harold a thumbs-up and praised: "Look. If you don’t come out, Harold, you have a pretty good mind, yes, that’s what I want to express.”

Tris, who was on the sidelines, listened quietly to Frey's analysis. When he heard Harold saying that the nobles in the country were likely to collude with the White Rhino Pirates, he instantly became angry and stood. He stood up, cupped his fists and saluted Frey, and said, "Your Majesty, these shameless nobles actually dare to collude with the bastards of the "White Rhino Pirates". They are obviously ready to rebel. Please give your order, Your Majesty, Let me lead the army to arrest them all and throw them into prison for torture and interrogation."

Frey waved his hand to him and told him to sit down, then chuckled and said: "Uncle Tris, you are too anxious. These are just my rough guesses. Although this is very likely to be the truth, we can There is no actual evidence to prove that the nobles colluded with the "White Rhino Pirates"."

"If we rashly dispatch the army to arrest these nobles, this country is likely to suffer serious turmoil. This will allow the pirates who are causing trouble in the waters around the kingdom to seize the opportunity and continue to wreak havoc in our coastal cities. At that time, it will still be the poor civilians below who will suffer."

Moreover, there are currently less than 400 troops stationed in the military camp outside the royal capital. Most of the other soldiers are currently stationed in the two coastal cities of "Amsterdam" and "Sde", which are more than 100 miles away from the royal capital. Gore" to resist the plundering of pirates.

Frey paused and said, and as far as I know, the feudal nobles from all over the country who came to express their condolences this time because of the death of their father, they brought a lot of private soldiers, even though the father was still alive. At that time, the number of private soldiers of nobles was greatly reduced. All nobles, regardless of their title or official position, were not allowed to have more than twenty private soldiers. I don't believe they really followed this.

Frey stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window, and continued to say calmly: "And even if they really only have twenty private soldiers each, Uncle Tris, you have to know that they give their private soldiers They are equipped with the best weapons and the best armor."

As for our soldiers, because of former Finance Minister Brut, who deserves death, he embezzled military expenditures from the national treasury, resulting in our loyal soldiers still holding the rusty weapons that should have been eliminated long ago. With a knife and tattered leather armor, he actually fought with the nobles' private soldiers, and it was not certain who would win.

Tris blushed at Frey's words. At the same time, he felt extremely ashamed of his recklessness. He knelt on one knee and hammered his chest heavily with his right hand and said loudly: "Tris must I will protect your majesty's safety and will never let your majesty be in any danger."
