Transcendent Ember

Chapter 151 The People Behind the Scenes
In the messy forest, Zhang Jichuan, Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong were stunned and stared at the housekeeper.

"You were attracted by Mrs. Batty's charm, so you killed her husband, your master? Are you so hasty?" Zhang Jichuan was very surprised. He didn't expect things to be so bloody.

Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong were even more surprised. Unlike Zhang Jichuan, they traveled from an era when everyone was equal.In this world, the ranks of nobles, commoners, and servants are very strict and distinct.

It is inconceivable that a servant would kill a nobleman because he coveted the beauty of his wife.

"No." Zhang Jichuan shook his head suddenly, "If that's all it is, how does the Marquis of Basatia use this to achieve his goal of promoting the war? There must be other reasons behind this."

Didi! ——

Zhang Jichuan was thinking, when suddenly his cell phone rang, and when he opened it, there was a message from Ms. Norris.

Seeing the first line of the message, Zhang Jichuan's eyebrows trembled: "Sure enough, someone pretended to be the thirteen nobles and secretly searched for the body of Baron Joulton!
"Dane Elvis, Earl, of the Elvis family
"The Elvis family is the family founded by the founding Duke of the Caesar Dynasty, 'Reagan Elvis'. The contemporary Elvis Grand Duke is named 'Most Elvis', and the fourth grade is extraordinary.
"Dane is the youngest son of Most, and he is very favored. Due to the title succession system, he cannot inherit the Dukedom of Elvis, so Most tried to make him make a lot of contributions, and got an earl from Yondu. title of

After reading the message sent by Ms. Norris, Zhang Jichuan had a flash of inspiration, and immediately figured out many things:
"This Earl Dane must have something to do with Joulton's death!
"Dane belongs to the Elvis family, a traditional nobleman, while Joulton, Bassatia, etc. are emerging noblemen who have been enshrined in the past hundred years.

"Although they are both nobles, this chain of contempt must exist. Just like any metropolis, the aborigines living within the third ring look down on the outsiders outside the third ring.
"What's more, the rise of emerging nobles will definitely erode the interests of traditional nobles, and there must be conflicts of interest between these two groups.
"Perhaps Basatia knew these inside stories, and tried to intensify the conflict between the emerging nobles and traditional nobles with the death of Joulton. When this conflict reaches a certain level, even if Yondu is unwilling, he can only fight through war." means of diverting conflicts
"This kind of method is not particularly clever, but it is simple, rude and effective. As long as the contradiction still exists, this is an irresolvable knot."

so.
Zhang Jichuan looked at the butler, and said in a low voice, "Dane Elwes, what kind of role is he playing in this matter?"

The butler's blood-scrubbed face showed deep astonishment and bewilderment: "Earl Dane? What does this have to do with him?"

Looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he is telling lies. Zhang Jichuan's heart moved, and a guess emerged. He turned his head to Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong and said, "Two ladies, please bring this person to Ms. Vivienne, and ask her to interrogate him again." .”

Mao Rongrong blinked and looked curious: "Aren't you going back with us? Where else are you going?"

"Oh, I have to meet Mrs. Bati." Zhang Jichuan smiled and said, "It seems that many doubts can only be answered by asking her personally."

"oh oh."

The butler's face changed drastically, and he wanted to say something, but Zhou Xinyi knocked him out with a hammer
Hanbo Palace, a spacious and bright political hall.

Emperor Yongdu personally ground a cup of coffee for himself and Zhang Xi, and added two cubes of sugar according to the preference of the left minister of the dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xi respectfully took the coffee cup, took a sip, and quickly put it down.

Yongdu took a sip on his own, and asked lightly: "Zhang Qing, what do you think of this matter?"

"Does Your Majesty mean that the Marquis of Basatia is trying to promote the war?" Zhang Xi had been prepared for a long time, and Yongdu responded when he asked, "I think that the Marquis of Basatia is the deputy governor of the war, and his family has prepared a war plan against all countries. , which is normal.

"There may be the Marquis Basatia's own ambitions among them, but generally speaking, once his plan is successfully implemented, it will be His Majesty's Caesar Dynasty who will benefit.

"That's why, Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to criticize the Marquis of Basatia."

Yongdu nodded slightly, and said again: "It's just that, judging from the current situation, launching a war is harmful to the dynasty rather than beneficial."

Zhang Xi said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is true, so although it is not appropriate to be harsh on the Marquis of Basatia, it cannot be reused. Just keep it and not use it."

Yondu glanced at him: "Keep it instead of using it?"

"Yes." Zhang Xi nodded and said, "The current international situation is not suitable for launching a war, but it does not mean that the situation will continue like this forever. The Nicholas Dynasty in the east is already ready to move. I predict that it will be five years soon, or ten years later. The situation will definitely change drastically. At that time, it will be time to activate the Marquis of Basatia.

"Before that, His Majesty may appropriately grant some authority to the Marquis of Basatia depending on the situation, so that he can prepare for war."

Yongdu smiled slightly: "Zhang Qing's words coincide with mine, but I think that Basatia must have known something about his involvement in Joulton's death. How Zhang Qing thinks he will use this matter to achieve His purpose in promoting the war?"

"Heh" Zhang Xi smiled, without any embarrassment, and said directly, "The causes of a war seem to be various, but in summary, they are only a few categories. If His Majesty ruled it out, the plan of the Marquis of Basatia is also I can guess very close to ten.
"Ichen estimated that the death of Baron Joulton must be related to a certain traditional nobleman."

Before the words were finished, a figure suddenly appeared in the meeting hall.

'Owl' appeared on his own initiative and interrupted Zhang Xi with an emotionless voice: "Your Majesty, Ms. Norris has found new clues. The death of Baron Joulton is related to Earl Dane."

"Dane Elwes?"

Hearing this name, both Yongdu and Zhang Xi's expressions changed slightly.

Zhang Xi blinked, stood up and quickly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the cutting must be done early."

Yondu: "How to cut?"

Zhang Xi said while organizing his words: "The Elvis family has a long history and deep roots. Almost most of the traditional nobles are related to them by marriage. Most of the officials in the DPRK and China have been promoted and helped by them. Their trading companies involve In almost every industry, even most of the extraordinary creatures in the dynasty have been favored.
"Facing the Elvis family, it is indescribable to move the whole body with one hair, so we must be cautious and cautious.
"I think that if Earl Dane is really related to the death of Baron Joulton, His Majesty must make a good decision and only punish Dane Elvis, and the entire Elvis family must not be involved. "

Yondu narrowed his eyes: "Punish Dane Elvis..."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Xi said sternly, "The aristocratic system is the foundation of the dynasty. If it is confirmed that the death of a nobleman is related to another nobleman, His Majesty must come up with an explanation, otherwise all the nobles will panic. ...

"But this matter involves the Elvis family, so we must be cautious. Therefore, I suggest that only Dane should be punished, and the Elvis family must not be involved... When necessary, His Majesty will still have to deal with Your Excellency Most Certain compensation..."

"Oh, compensation..." Yondu sneered, and suddenly stared at Zhang Xi, "Did Zhang Qing already guess that this matter is related to the Elvis family?"

Zhang Xi smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, I only guessed that it would be related to a certain traditional nobleman, but I didn't dare to think about the Elvis family... Looking at it now, it's no wonder that the Marquis of Basatian felt that this matter could help him promote the war It's..."

If this matter goes wrong, the whole country will be in turmoil... Zhang Xi didn't say this.

Yondu nodded, looked to the side of 'Xiao', seeing that he was motionless, he couldn't help saying bitterly: "Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry up and investigate."

"Ms. Norris's friends have already started checking, Your Majesty..."

'Xiao' said lightly...
