PS: Something happened at home, the update was late, sorry. Tomorrow morning one shift, one evening shift, compensation.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness Princess, I didn't expect to see a noble face here, I'm really scared. ”

With an expression of surprise, Li Lin bent down and bowed deeply.

“......”

Minerva didn't say a word.

Today, Li Lin was only wearing a black suit, and the mundane face that would not be found if he was thrown into the pile of people put on a respectful smile, and there was no fluctuation in the amber eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses—there was no panic, and there was no fluctuation, so it made a certain person feel a cold aura.

"Where, I will meet His Excellency President here. Hongu was also surprised. ”

nodded slightly, let's just say a return gift.

"It was really a disaster before, but if your noble body is safe, otherwise it would be ...... Speaking of which, doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess bring a guard with her......?

The aura of a philistine emanated from the false concern, and Li Lin was as verbose as a rapper who could be seen everywhere, but Minerva did not dare to let up in the slightest.

(The so-called rudeness is what he says.) ）

Inadvertently, the young princess sent out such a feeling.

Li Lin abides by the formal courtesy of his subordinates, and the details of his expressions and movements are also very well done, and it is impossible for the strictest etiquette officer to pick out any mistakes from Li Lin.

But Minerva could clearly feel that Li Lin's gaze was not looking at him at all, and he didn't even put anyone in his eyes.

While perfectly performing the image of a businessman, he cast a cold gaze from a place where no one could reach him. To say arrogant and rude behavior. There are really few more than that.

"There are a few rats trying to cause a riot, and Your Excellency the President should not be so worried. ”

Still unable to make any good impression of this man, Minerva turned away with a soft snort, and the meaningful gaze behind her pierced her pace, and a stiff voice echoed in the hallway.

##############

Versailles.

The jewel in the crown of Lüders and Charlemagne, the perfect example of combining the majesty of the royal family with the refined art of the new trend. Being in it can even silence the rude and impudent in awe.

At this moment, in the deepest part of this exquisite palace, a series of noisy quarrels more fierce than the vegetable market are constantly destroying the elegant environment. Pushing open the heavily soundproof door, you can immediately see well-dressed nobles from prominent families waving their canes. In the midst of the splattering attack. Occasionally, a swear word or two or two erupted that even the cheapest taverns of Lüders could not hear.

"What are you...... What a gaffe!!"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Faucet was overly agitated, his speech was a little slurred, and his body trembled with anger, but anyone could see a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"The center of the kingdom. Two vicious murders broke out in the capital of the first good in just one month! The first time was when a madman attempted to assassinate His Highness Minerva. The second time was when 300 loyal soldiers of the Kingdom Army were killed! Your Excellency, General!"

“......”

The tall man who was bearing the accusation was half-on his knees, his head bowed deeply, and he did not say a word.

As the patriarch of a martial arts family. Dezru, who is responsible for guarding the royal capital, has a height of 2 meters, wide shoulders, and a very thick chest, which can bring an inexplicable sense of oppression even when he kneels on the ground. The general thus earned the nickname "General Rock".

In addition to describing the physique, this term also applies to the taciturn and upright nature of the man.

"What a 'martial arts example', it's really ridiculous, I actually arrived at the scene twice in a row after the fact. ”

"Dezluqing, without the help of the child, Qing will not be able to perform his duties normally?"

Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a tax director known for his snobbery, joined the accusations. The career path of the first third-class civil official is the same as that of Fouquet, except that this time he played Bole and changed from Richelieu to Fouquet.

Now, the sinister villain has sounded the horn of the attack. Many of Fuquet's party members immediately followed, and for a time, the glorious council hall became a huge buzzing beehive, with countless flies flying in it.

However.

Dezru remained in a half-kneeling position of apology, without raising his eyebrows. There is neither an excuse nor a request for forgiveness.

That calm look made Colbert extremely unhappy, and he roared roughly.

"Dez Luqing, you are a dignified ......!!"

"Calm down, Secretary Colbel. ”

Calm, and at the same time extremely heavy, the voice reverberated and spread from the seat below the throne. The tax director wanted to say something more, but under the sharp gaze of the eagle falcon, his mouth moved and closed obediently.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister?"

Fouquet looked at the old man in the red robe in surprise, and under the familiar stern gaze, the Chancellor of the Exchequer reflexively lowered his head and stared at the floor.

"Even if you blame Dezluqing here, things are not necessarily going to get better. It is imperative to investigate as much as possible. Give a word to foreign envoys and panicked people, so that they can regain their sense of security. ”

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is very true. ”

Fuquet seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to speak:

"The lower officials believe that an investigation committee should be immediately set up to thoroughly investigate this series of incidents, thoroughly investigate the crimes of dereliction of duty of the relevant personnel, and carry out the investigation and execution as quickly as possible. ”

The council hall fell silent, and many people's faces that had just eased down turned pale, and cold sweat ran down their faces.

Each of these is a veteran of officialdom, and everyone knows that Fukai's mention is pronounced "investigation" and written as "purge", and it is also marked after it that "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go", and "there is no need for legal procedures, and if you suspect you will be executed".

Consider the spectacle of guillotines operating day and night at all the crossroads and squares of Lüdes, and a few timid civil servants almost fainted to the ground.

I have to say that these people's ability to bear it is really a bit poor. Ten years ago, the officials in Kenabum were much better than they were.

Every morning they parted with their families, and in the evening they went home to feast and celebrate that they had lived one more day—compared to the open-mindedness of the officials of Kenabum at the time, these people were a bit unsightly.

"Fu Kaiqing, this is too radical. ”

It was Tellier who spoke, and the War Secretary, who feared that Fuquet would be able to take the War Department, would not be able to remain silent.

"Since it is an investigation, careful verification and detailed evidence are indispensable. Qing suggested 'use the fastest speed', don't you think it's too hasty?"

"Your Excellency, Minister of War, since the investigation has revealed that a crime has been committed, it should be punished immediately and decisively. Otherwise, how are we going to calm the unrest of the people and make the nations aware of our determination to eradicate the mobs?"

The War Secretary's remarks were met with many approvals, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer received a lot of applause.

The two groups of people who are clearly divided have started their daily drama again - party fighting.

At first, they blame each other's policies, then escalate into personal attacks, and finally develop into spitting and biting......

Before the development reached the final stage, the cardinal coughed vigorously, and the ministers who were about to perform the full martial arts stopped slightly.

The cardinal is old and frail, but the deterrent is still there. The flies stopped flying, but Fouquet was still sneering.

Fouquet, who had worked under the Prime Minister for a while, noticed that Richelieu's left sleeve was shaking slightly—a sign that the old man was in a very agitated mood and was about to go berserk.

Fuquet's eyes are indeed vicious, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a heavy situation, coupled with self-control that ordinary people could not achieve. Richelieu would have thrown things and cursed—just as he had done in his office before the Imperial Council. (To be continued......)
