Chapter 110 Bloody Night Impact

really!

After listening to Leon's words, the old man frowned slightly, and then asked:

"Why did you kill him?"

“Because it’s required for work.”

Since he was not sure how much the old man knew about the "underwater world", Leon did not directly tell the nonsense he had made up, but asked back:

"How much do you know about the Cleanup Bureau?"

“I have a little understanding of it.”

Since he had carefully investigated Leon's files, he would naturally learn about his work. After a moment of silence, the old man waved his hand to let the two officers leave, and then lowered his voice and said:

"The royal family has a manual. After writing your name on it, you can keep your soul 'silent' even if you know that anomalies exist, and you won't be attacked by anomalies. My name is on it.

Also, since you mentioned the Cleanup Bureau, does that mean that this time it wasn't actually an internal strife in the Ryan family, but it was related to the 'work content' of your Cleanup Bureau?"

A manual that can keep the soul "silent"? It seems that not all "ordinary people" are unaware of the existence of abnormalities, but there are not many of them.

After keeping this news in mind, Leon nodded and said:

"Yes, Bobby Ryan merged with an anomaly and not only tried to steal the anomaly from me, but also threatened the lives of ordinary people in an attempt to force me to reveal the secrets of the Cleanup Bureau.

Although the Cleanup Bureau has a requirement that it is not allowed to attack ordinary people unless necessary, the situation was urgent at the time, and he was no longer a human being, so I had no choice but to kill him. "

……

I see……

After learning the "truth" about Ryan's bloody night from Leon, and comparing it with other things he knew, the old man's frown couldn't help but relax slightly.

If Leon had given the answer directly when he was first questioned, he might have continued to ask further questions by focusing on a few doubts.

But Leon first severely "embarrassed" him with two questions, and after confirming his level of understanding of the Cleanup Bureau, he "reluctantly" revealed the "truth" of Ryan's bloody night.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal at all. The current situation is similar to this.

Compared to the readily available answers, this kind of hard-won intelligence is naturally much more credible. At least the Minister of Defense, who only has a little understanding of the Cleanup Bureau, has basically believed what Leon said, but...

"If I could, I'd like you to rephrase that."

In Leon's somewhat surprised eyes, the old man said seriously:

"As for what the Cleanup Bureau said, of course you can still say what you should say. But when others outside the Cleanup Bureau ask about it, I hope you can cooperate with us and characterize the Ryan family's incident as a civil strife."

us?

Although as an "ordinary person", Lyon did not know much about the political situation in the kingdom, but he had vaguely heard about who was standing behind the Minister of Defense.

"Princess...are you planning to take this opportunity to attack the old nobles?"

"Yes."

Frankly acknowledging Leon's judgment, the gray-haired old man said:

“If you want, you can put it more bluntly… This is a frame-up!” After saying what he wanted to do without any hesitation, the old man stared at Leon’s eyes with his hawk-like sharp eyes. While carefully observing his expression, he explained at a very fast speed:
"Whether it was a rebellion or an internal strife, the Ryan family, which had lost so many important members, was completely finished. However, the old nobles were a whole. Even if the Ryan family completely lost power, the positions left vacant would not fall into the hands of others, but would only be quickly divided up by other nobles.

At that time, except that the Ryan Arms Company will become the Masai Ni Arms Company, and those people with the surname Ryan in the Ministry of Highways, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Agriculture will all become people with the surname York, or some other surname, everything will continue to operate as usual, and the country will still remain unchanged. "

After briefly explaining the possible situation, the old man looked at Leon who was listening attentively, and raised his voice slightly, saying seriously:
"But it's different now. As long as you are willing to cooperate and prove that the Ryan family's incident was a civil strife, we can create a great opportunity for the princess and allow this country to take a big step in a better direction!"

"I did not understand."

Hearing this, Leon frowned and asked in confusion:

"Whether it was a civil strife or a rebel attack, weren't all the dead people from the Ryan family? Why was it possible to provide the princess with a good opportunity?"

"Because the kingdom needs to maintain stability, no department can and should have large-scale vacancies at one time."

Seeing that Leon obviously didn't know much about political games, and his level was even worse than his own daughter's, the old man thought for a moment and explained as simply as possible:

“Among the more than 200 people killed and injured in the Ryan family, more than 100 of them were mid-level officials from various ministries in the kingdom, especially the Road Administration and Military Departments. These two ministries alone were short of nearly 80 people at one time.

As a result, a quarter of the military's 47 subordinate departments began to have a backlog of work documents, and two small bureaus were temporarily shut down due to the loss of their managers.

Although the old nobles will send people to fill the vacancies as soon as possible, it will take at least one or two months for the new officials to take over and become familiar with the work. It may take more than three months to completely deal with the backlog of work. Even the relevant departments may not function smoothly for the next six months due to unfamiliarity. "

After briefly talking about the direct impact of Ryan's bloody night, the old man continued with a serious look:

"It's just a civil strife in one noble family, but it can cause such serious consequences. What if two, three, or even more noble families have problems one after another within half a year? This is the best excuse to take action!"

As long as this incident can be characterized as a civil strife, the princess can use the reason of ensuring the normal operation of the kingdom as an excuse to demand in parliament that the number of old nobles in each department be reduced to check their excessive power.

Even if it fails in the end, the old nobles can be asked to transfer power and ensure that the number of people from a certain noble family in a certain department does not account for too large a proportion, so as to avoid the complete shutdown of the relevant department after similar problems arise.

When these nobles are unable to have a large number of clansmen in a certain department, those who have sided with the princess will have room to maneuver. They can try to unite with others to check and balance, or even take back control of the key affairs of this department! "

When he said this, he seemed to see the bright future of the princess's successful reforms, sweeping away the kingdom's long-standing problems. The old man's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement as he said:

“Take the Ryan family as an example. Think about it, if the number of Ryan family officials in the Road Administration was reduced to half or even one-third of the original number, would they still be able to control the construction of the old city as before?
If the number of people in the Ryan family who are involved in military procurement is reduced to half of the original number, can the Ryan Arms Company still consume so much military funding every year? If...what is it?"

"Someone is coming from His Highness's side..."

One of the two young officers walked into the ward with a warrant and said with a strange look on his face:
"The people sent by the princess said... the old Duke of the Ryan family is dying, and they asked the top five people in the succession line to rush over as soon as possible..."

Is the Duke of Lionheart no longer able to do it?
After hearing the young officer's words, the old man's expression brightened slightly, and then he immediately stood up from the bedside and said vigorously:

"Anyway, you should consider what I said first. There won't be a second chance like Ryan Bloody Night. Your choice might become... what's wrong with that?"

"that……"

After looking at Leon lying on the bed covered in bandages, the young officer said helplessly:

"The person on the bed is the fifth heir of the Ryan family..."

"..."

ah?!?!?!
