Marin and John II confessed their sins, and went to the secret room to summon the men who had come from Paris. Although the letters obtained from Paris could be shown to John II, Marin, who was active in Paris, did not want to be known by John II. You must know that the branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in Paris was established by Marin with a lot of painstaking efforts, and it was quite difficult.

And the most critical thing in this intelligence system is people. Therefore, it is important to avoid the exposure of the intelligence agents in Paris. Even if it is a messenger, it is better not to be seen by outsiders.

After arriving at the secret room, the messengers distributed in Paris by the North Sea Chamber of Commerce quickly entered:

"See the Grand Duke! Chanel V from the Paris branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce reports to you! ”

Marin suddenly squirted out a mouthful of tea, looking at the five big and three thick men in front of him, Marin really couldn't associate him with the famous Chanel No. 5 in later generations.

However, Marin himself is to blame for this. At the beginning, when these spies were given the name of the number, Marin casually said the noun "Chanel" and asked them to use this word to start with the number 1. Obviously, the one in front of me is in fifth place......

After relieving himself, Chanel No. 5 told Marin that the letter had been successful......

Moreover, Chanel No. 5 tells in detail the process of getting the letter -

It turned out that after the fat brothers found out Paul, the person who had access to the letters, the matter fell on the people of the Paris branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. After all, the fat brother has an important position, and it is not suitable to take action in person, so as not to be exposed.

Next, the task of paolo, the archivist under the command of the French Foreign Secretary, was handed over to the spies of the Paris branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce......

However, Paul has a very regular life, and although he likes to play cards, he does not gamble. In order to let Paul fall into the trap, the Paris North Sea Chamber of Commerce Branch specially selected a few masters of playing cards and deliberately approached Paul.

It's just that in this era, because there are no entertainment facilities, Paul has no money to spare, and he doesn't go out often, and several spies arranged by the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in Paris can't find the opportunity to contact Paul.

In the end, it was the fat brother who helped think of a way - according to the fat brother, Paul is not good at anything else, but he is delicious and gluttonous, and he likes food very much.

It stands to reason that it is easiest to get the fat brother out of the horse and seduce Paul with good food. But the role of the fat brother is too important to be easily exposed......

Eventually, Clark, the head of the Paris branch, came up with a solution - he applied to be distributed from Italy, and a chef was transferred to open an Italian bistro very close to Paul's house......

In order to reach Paul, a man with little money, this small restaurant makes delicious food, but the price is set at a low price. Moreover, whenever Paul passed by the door of the small restaurant after work, the restaurant guy did not shout, but deliberately held a fan and blew out the fragrance of the most fragrant roast chicken, roast duck, etc., so that the aroma reached Paul's nose......

It worked, and every time Paul passed by the restaurant, he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva – it was so delicious......

After so many times, Paul, a food lover, finally got the courage to bring his family to this Italian restaurant for a while. As a result, Paul was surprised to find that the restaurant was delicious and the prices were very affordable. The only requirement is that customers dress neatly and cleanly, and no dirty people are allowed to come in......

This request is somewhat similar to the arrogant request of later French restaurants. However, it really appeals to the petty bourgeois middle class.

Just like Paul, although he also likes cheap and beautiful things. However, as a child of a nobleman, he naturally does not like to mix with those low-class commoners. And this regulation of the restaurant is tantamount to preventing those civilians who wear dirty clothes from entering the restaurant to consume. In this way, a small middle class like Paul would not have to huddle with those dirty civilians to eat.

In fact, this method came from Marin's side. Because of the low price of the restaurant, Clarke, the head of the Paris branch, was also afraid that there would be too many civilians and crowd the visits, thus scaring Paul, who did not like the excitement, away. So, the threshold for entry was deliberately raised. Sure enough, Paul was drawn in......

After that, Paul came to spend more and more. And several card players arranged by the Paris branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce also disguised their different identities, and often entered the restaurant to eat when Paul was dining. Moreover, at the end of each meal, several people deliberately took out the cards and started playing directly......

Paul was originally a lover of playing cards, and every time he came to the restaurant to eat, it was at night, and the time was not rushed. Therefore, after dinner, Paul often watched the men play for a while......

In this way, after going back and forth, several spies finally became familiar with Paul......

Then, Paul often joined them in playing cards. However, in the beginning, everyone did not gamble......

But with the retirement of time, and usually everyone often deliberately loses to Paul by a bad move. When a spy offered a little fun, Paul reluctantly agreed. And after starting to play money, Paul won more and lost less as before......

Several spies are very clever, and for the sake of realism, they let Paul win more, but sometimes they also deliberately win a few times to make Paul feel excited. But in the end, Paul won every time......

Then, the stakes slowly and slowly increase without Paul knowing...... And Paul, too, keeps winning......

When the game got bigger, Paul couldn't hold it anymore. Then, a few spies began to close the net......

After deliberately pouring Paul a few glasses of wine on one occasion, Paul became more drunk and quite arrogant. Then, several people saw the opportunity, took advantage of Paul's drunkenness, raised the bar, and raised the bet to a sky-high price. And Paul, who was stimulated by alcohol, thought that he would kill all sides as usual, and followed up without thinking...... As a result, the cup was ......

By the time Paul came to his senses, several spies were already holding IOUs totaling several thousand gold coins—all owed by Paul......

Perhaps, for a big guy like Marin, a few thousand gold coins is really nothing. But for a small clerk like Paul, it was an astronomical amount that could not be repaid.

A few spies who were once friendly turned against Paul for a few thousand gold coins. And, most importantly, several people went directly to the door to collect debts, and they also brought thugs......

Of course, several people did not directly smash and rob. However, each time he stared at Paul's wife and three children with meaningful eyes. This kind of look made Paul, who was particularly concerned about his family, extremely sensitive and frightened......

In this way, after mentally torturing Paul for a while, several spies finally tried to meet the dagger:

"Mr. Paul, it is a matter of course to pay the debt. Moreover, your IOU was sworn in the name of God. I don't think anyone can break the ......."

"But I don't have that much money...... Paul covered his face in pain.

"Or ......," one of the spies looked at Paul's wife and three children......

"Never! Please, a few more days, I can't lose them! Paul knew what the man was up to, but he was a very family-oriented man.

"Even if I give you a little more grace, will you have so much money?" One of them asked rhetorically.

Paul was speechless for a moment - yes, even if he gave a few more days, he would have money? If it was one or two hundred gold coins, he could still borrow it with face. It can be thousands of gold coins......

"Mr. Paul, think again, what is of value do you have that can be worth the ...... of these thousands of gold coins" this is the beginning of the deliberate "enlightenment" of Paul......

After beating around the corner, Paul finally understood that the men were asking him to steal a few letters from the archives to pay off his debts......

"Think about your family......" Before leaving, several people put down their harsh words.

After some time, Paul took the initiative to find them:

"I can help you steal the letter, but you must cooperate with me in a play so that I can get out of it......"

"Yes!" Several spies nodded, they didn't care how the process went. Anyway, as long as you get the letter, it's fine.

"October 13 is the birthday of Princess Claude, the only daughter of His Majesty Louis XII, and on this day, all the ministers go to the backyard of the palace to celebrate the birthday of Her Royal Highness. Then, the guards in the front yard of the palace will become relatively lax, and you can send someone to ......"

"Wait...... No matter how lax the guards of the palace are, it will be difficult for our people to infiltrate the palace......"

"Normally this is true, but on that day, the palace will definitely bring in men from outside the palace to help guard the palace. So, it's not uncommon for guards with some fresh faces to appear......"

"You're trying to let us pretend to be guards?"

"Yes, I can help you get fake IDs. On that day, because the big people were all in the backyard, the guards stationed in the front yard were all guards who were transferred in from outside. You can take advantage of the guards who are unfamiliar with each other and sneak into the front yard to reach the Foreign Secretary's office. Look, this is a map of the front yard of the royal palace...... This is the archives, and if we clerks don't go to work that day, you can send someone to pry open the door of the archives, and then go in and open the second cabinet on the third floor of the cabinet on your left......"

"What if our people get caught? Then the letter can't be brought out......"

"It's okay, it's just a trick. Actually, before I got off work the day before, I would bring the letter out. They go in just to divert the attention of others......"

Paul's plan was so tight that the spies in Paris agreed to his plan. On the birthday of Her Royal Highness Claude, the only princess of the French royal family, on the 13th of October, the spies of the Paris branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, disguised as guards transferred from outside the palace, smashed open the door of the foreign secretary's archives and opened several cabinets...... Moreover, in the end, this guy was not discovered. Because, he did it at mealtime. During that time, most of the guards went to eat......

But in reality, that's just a cover-up. The real letter was brought out by Paul a day earlier. However, instead of handing it over immediately, Paul spent some time dealing with several spies from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, and waited until several of the spies gave him the IOU and confirmed that they would not harm his family, and then finally took the letter out of the secret burial place......

However, because of the theft of the royal palace, Paris was very vigilant during that time. After getting the letter, the spies of the Paris branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce did not dare to send someone to send the letter out to avoid accidents. Because, during that time, the streets of Paris were full of guards checking ......

Finally, when the rumors passed, Clark sent a few letters back to Aurich from the Duchy of Guedes and France......
