Quadruple split.

Chapter 417 The Master of the Female Bee

You deserve it too?

This is the first prince in the history of the Violet Empire who dared to say such a thing to a current grand duke, and he was also a prince who was not visible before and almost had no sense of presence. Compared with his frequent appearance in various social occasions , The elder brother who is active in various fields, the reputation of Schubressen has almost never spread in the Three-color Courtyard, and even if there are occasional deeds, it will not exceed the Royal District of Salamune at most.

Even though he had to attend certain large-scale social occasions due to his status as a royal family, even so, in most cases, Xiu would only concentrate on eating Hesse, and by the way smiled at everyone who came to say hello to him , that's all.

So even though everyone here knows that Clever has such a son and Ruibo has such a younger brother, most of them only know about Xiu's name and identity. There is no skill, and as for more understanding, there is nothing at all.

But now it seems that all previous judgments about this person can basically be invalidated...

A person who can tell the three possibilities just now, not only completely overthrow Ruibo's carefully prepared rhetoric, but even force Grand Duke Hussein to shrink his neck and pretend to be an ostrich, is absolutely incompatible with the word ignorant The first half of the relationship.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke."

Xiu looked away indifferently, first casually apologized to Hussein without sincerity, then turned to Clever and asked with a smile: "Father, are those words just now enough to convince you?" ?”

The old emperor did not answer his question, but just calmly looked at the other party's sky blue eyes that seemed to be hidden behind a layer of mist, and after a while he asked calmly: "You said just now that we should talk about more realistic issues first, So what about the reality?"

"Oh, that ah..."

Xiu rubbed the tip of his nose, and said casually: "What I have to say is that through observation during this period, I think it is necessary for the empire to start to deal with some hidden dangers, otherwise it is very likely that one day in the future... ...well, it could be tomorrow, or it could be any day in two or three hundred years before the inevitable end."

As soon as the voice fell, a hand was raised high.

"Ahem, I'm sorry."

Mo Tan sneered, and slowly put down his hand after everyone's attention came, and scratched his hair shyly: "I really didn't understand what you just said..."

"Where, what I said was too vague."

Xiu didn't mind at all, and just explained with a pleasant face: "Please think about it, the perpetrator is the Fire Claw, who is also one of the nine major families of the empire, and the evidence in all aspects is clear enough, but the progress of this matter is still going on. The slowness is horribly slow, even if Buffy Marshall is under house arrest in a small courtyard, ubiquitous interference and resistance still permeate the entire investigation process, and it is still under the condition that everyone basically knows the truth well, in the end even if Convicted Buffy, if the follow-up develops according to the normal situation, the ending will probably only be a joke."

Futaba tilted her head, and asked innocently, "Then what does this mean?"

"It means that if we don't make any changes, the rules of the game that have never changed in the empire for thousands of years will continue to give birth to one cancer after another." Xiu smiled at Futaba, spread his hands and said: "Let a Buffy go!" Marshall is insignificant, but in this way, among the descendants of the nine major families who remember this history, it is very likely that a second or third more rampant slave trader, or something of a worse nature, will emerge. And the victims at that time may not be as qualified to sit here as Fireclaw, and they may not have so many sensible supporters around them, if they come to this place a few more times, the country will basically be finished."

Ruibo shook his head with a livid face, and said in a deep voice: "Ash, this empire has stood for more than three thousand years, and it is not as easy to collapse as you imagine."

"That's right, my dear brother, this empire has indeed been standing for a long time. It has stood for three thousand seven hundred and twenty-five years without any change."

Xiu sighed, his tone full of helplessness: "During this period of time, the first Grand Duke to be tried in the Hall of the Purple Nine was accused of raising taxes without restraint, which caused more than two hundred people to starve to death that winter. But the last Buffy Marshall who was put on trial caused a tragedy that lasted more than ten years, causing more than [-] innocent people to suffer misfortune. Let’s see, if we still [observe] according to the rules this time, what will happen to the next person who sits at this table and is judged.”

From two hundred people to more than one hundred thousand people, from a winter tragedy to a nightmare lasting more than ten years, these extremely simple numbers easily shocked everyone present.

"This Purple Nine Hall, which is the same age as the empire..."

Xiu lightly tapped the ground with the toe of his shoe, and said in a brisk tone: "It has changed from the original place that was used to warn and deter us 'noble surnames' to an extremely dirty but full of nutrients soil. The slave trade, which has affected more than [-] people, is by far the largest, most widespread, and worst cancer on the planet. Of course, it may not necessarily shake the foundation of the empire, even if the final result today is due to various factors. The reason for this was changed to "observation" by you. It is not impossible to do the work of Grand Duke Firepaw. What I said before may not be fully realized, but... if we continue to "observe", the next What will be the scale of the cancer? Who can guarantee that the mistakes made by the next Grand Duke will not shake the foundation of the empire?"

Easily overturning what he said a few minutes ago, Xiu's calm and indifferent gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and finally looked at his father again, Clever Blaisen, who represented the will of the Violet family, slowly Shaking his head vigorously: "Can you guarantee it? Your Majesty."

The old emperor was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a deep sigh, and closed his eyes with a little relief in exhaustion...

"I can't, kid."

The Violet Empire, the capital of Salamune, the Old City [Female Bee] Tavern

At a wooden table by the window, Mo Tan picked up the cold sweet honey water, raised his glass to the elf man with a delicate face in a white cloak in front of him, and said with an exaggerated smile: "I wish you good health, my dear His Royal Highness~"

"You should keep calling me Ryan."

Shubresien, who had dressed up in disguise, raised his eyebrows, held up the honey water in front of him, touched the former, and reminded with a smile: "Don't forget that this is not the three-color courtyard, although the ignorant second The prince is not taken seriously, but if his identity is exposed, it will always be a troublesome matter."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Mo Tan gulped down half a glass of cold drink in one gulp, the corner of his mouth curled up in a particularly nasty arc, and rushed towards the dwarf girl who was dozing off on a low stool not far away. He beckoned: "Xiao Na, come here."

The waiter with pink curly hair gave a jolt, then trotted over quickly, raised his head and asked Mo Tan, who was sitting on the chair and was much taller than himself: "Have another cup of sweet tea Honey water? Mr. Tan Mo."

"No, not yet."

Mo Tan waved his hand, then bent down and approached the girl's ear, and said without lowering his voice at all: "I'll tell you a secret, in fact, the real name of this Mr. Ren is Hubresian, the prince of our empire. ~"

Xiao Na was in a daze at the time, and after reacting for a long time, she looked at Xiu who was rolling her eyes crazily, and asked softly, "Then, would you like another glass of sweet honey water, Your Highness?"

"Okay, stop pretending..."

Xiu sighed, took off his two elf sharp ears which were obviously products of alchemy, covered his forehead and said: "We probably have already revealed our secrets, and I obviously designed so many drinks for the store, Why do you only recommend Tianzizi honey water to customers every time?"

"Oh."

The dwarf girl nodded, put away her nervous and expectant look just now, and replied casually: "Because it's easy, you can make a big pot with only water and sugar, and you're not afraid of expiration."

The corner of Xiu's mouth twitched: "Wait, what about the honey?"

"I ate it myself."

Xiao Na chuckled, then turned around and walked behind the counter, without turning her head, she said, "Anyway, it's all sweet, and it didn't make any difference when you came by yourself before."

"Hey!"

Xiu slammed the table, and shouted angrily at the dwarf girl's back: "In order to steal some honey, do you even have to cut corners for my share? Are you so poor? You spend all the money I give you every month." Where did you go!!"

"Too lazy to go to the Chamber of Commerce to get..."

The dwarf girl waved her little hand, and then quickly disappeared behind the counter.

Xiu froze in place for a long time, then turned to look at Mo Tan in embarrassment: "Well, the rock sugar water actually tastes good, doesn't it?"

"Can I laugh?"

"Laugh……"

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!"

"Stop laughing!"

"Row."

Mo Tan stopped laughing as if he changed his face in an instant, shook the cup of sweet honey water without honey in his hand, and said leisurely: "That girl is quite to my liking, let me introduce you later? Formal Kind of."

"Heh, as far as I know, your appetite is so good that even the goblin widow who works at the front desk of Liuli Pavilion will find time to tease you." Xiu looked at Mo Tan with a half-smile, then casually changed the topic just now, lazily Leaning back in the chair: "Tell me, when did you find out?"

Mo Tan blinked: "You are the real owner of this tavern? It was probably the day after we met for the first time. Just combine your identities and think about [Female Bee] With this name, and collecting a little more detailed information at the end, the answer is not difficult to come up with."

"You always like to take the most important content lightly."

Xiu raised his eyebrows, then picked up the cup of sweet honey water in front of him with a complex expression, and took a sip and said indifferently: "Forget it, I can probably guess it anyway, This time, I will be wise and not ask."

"Greatly, if you didn't guess it, you should be ignorant, right?"

"Who knows, my curiosity tends to fluctuate according to the weather and mood, how about you?"

"My curiosity will not fluctuate."

Mo Tan looked at the other party expressionlessly, and replied sternly like Grand Duke Simon: "But the mood often changes according to whether the stool is unobstructed that day."

Xiu was choking at the time, and after coughing dryly for a long time, he asked Mo Tan angrily: "Are you sure that Buffy Marshall can escape from the dungeon in the tricolor courtyard?"

"If I'm not mistaken, probably."

Mo Tan followed the other party and changed the subject seamlessly, and replied lightly: "Although all the magic props and alchemy items on him have been taken away, this should not affect him from leaving under the watchful eyes of all the guards, of course. , if that guy intends to die so honestly, it's a different matter."

"I hope you guessed right." Xiu turned his head to look at the canal outside the window, and said weakly, "Otherwise, I will have to use another plan."

Mo Tan rolled his eyes noncommittally, and turned his head like Xiu Xiu, and glanced at the few crows circling in the sky outside the window: "By the way, those words you said in the Hall of Purple Nine before, How much of it is true?"

"What do you mean?"

"These are the three possibilities after [observation], the rotten rules, the growing cancer, etc. Which of them are sincere?"

"Oh, you said that..."

Xiu stretched his waist comfortably, crossed his legs and smiled at Mo Tan: "It's basically nonsense, it's just forcing those guys to admit the result of the trial, just like the high-sounding speech that Big Brother made before, it's not acceptable It’s just a one-sided theory based on scrutiny, how could this kind of thing come from the heart.”

Mo Tan nodded unsurprisingly, and praised in a very careless manner: "It doesn't matter if it's one-sided, or it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, as long as this farce can end, it's enough, but how do you know that His Majesty the Emperor will let you vote?" Last vote?"

"Because I know my father well enough, and I can easily judge what kind of decision he would make under the circumstances." Xiu took out a violet family emblem from nowhere, and played with it while holding it in his hand. Said: "Just like I know my elder brother as well, knowing that his character will definitely drag me to the Zijiu Hall as a foil today, under this premise, it is enough to make a little simple induction according to the situation. "

"Oh? What if you accidentally fail?"

"What would you think if I said I couldn't fail?"

"I'll turn around and walk away to avoid being infected by your stupidity."

"Just kidding, did you notice where I was standing?"

"Oh...that's what it is."

"I, who bear the blood of the Violet family, can activate those light spheres at any time, and the movements will definitely be much faster than father and elder brother."

"Cheers to your wisdom~"

"Don't be in a hurry to toast, where is my imperial order?"

"what?"

"Should I pay it back?"

"What else?"

"Imperial order!"

"What imperial order?"

"..."
