My name is Ren

Chapter 308 If someone has a problem with you, either use your charisma to convince him, or pinch his jj
In-depth contact is the only way to have a deep understanding. When you look at a glamorous person, how do you know what is hidden under the glamorous appearance?

The distance between Bethel and Ryan was short enough for him to analyze something.There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but what is lacking are smart people who are independent from others.Isn't Queen Pars smart?Isn't Prime Minister Gan Wen smart?Why can't they guess what Ren wants to get because they are so smart?It's not that they can't guess, but that the interests in front of them cover their eyes.Humans are creatures that seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. They know that taking a shortcut may encounter some troubles and dangers in the future, but at least taking the shortcut right now is beneficial to themselves and can shorten the distance.

As for the future, there will naturally be a solution at that time.

This is also one of the disadvantages of smart people, because smart people always think that they are omnipotent and invincible.

Bethel guessed part of Wren's thoughts through some details, but so what?He is not Ren, not a golden nobleman, even if he knows, what can he do to Ren?
Just like now, if you take one wrong step, you will face the wrath of thunder.

Ren didn't have a complete idea of ​​how to deal with Bethel in his heart. He kept Bethel in the first place to make him attract artillery fire. Obviously, this has succeeded.As the Minister of National Security, Bethel helped Rennes attract a lot of firepower during this period.Attacks from public opinion and pressure from nobles, at least this target has done what he should do.But now this target obviously doesn't want to be another target, which makes Renn hesitate.

It was easy to deal with Bethel, and it was not difficult to send him to heaven at any chance.The difficulty is that after Bethel disappears, who will be the new target?Himself?
This is definitely not a good idea. He set off a round of political changes, which also means that the ruling power of the aristocracy will decline, and the status of popular opinions and mainstream values ​​will be improved.In the past, the opinions of the people could not have any influence on a nobleman, but when these ordinary people entered the imperial parliament, many variables would increase.Ren gave them the opportunity to speak, and they would use this opportunity to cause trouble for Ren in turn.

This may seem like a stupid thing, but it is an indispensable part of Rennes' larger and more careful plan.

Therefore, there must be a wall between him and public opinion and mainstream values ​​to prevent him from attacking and slandering from all directions.

"Your daughter is very cute." When Renn said this with a smile, his emotions and mental fluctuations were very calm.He is like a senior "politician", shameless, despicable, and indecent have become his best and favorite methods.To restrain a character is to grasp his vitals. Of course, this is a very ugly thing, because even if you win, you won't win in an aboveboard manner.But then again, politicians are never aboveboard.

The expression on Bethel's face froze immediately, his hand holding the teacup shook, the teacup shook, and the scalding hot tea spilled on his hands.He shrank his arm violently, shook it vigorously, and squeezed out an ugly smile while covering the back of his hand that was burned red, "Yes, she is very cute."

He, and she, are two different words in Common, and they are pronounced differently.

"Him?" Lane corrected Bethel's pronunciation, "Your idea is very strange, but it is indeed a very interesting way. Many people may know that you have three children, two boys and a girl. They I only saw two, and I even guessed that you only have two children." In the eyes of Bethel, Ryan looked like a devil at this time, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but Ryan continued : "Can you tell that you raised boys as girls in order to prevent your wife from killing them all in a fit of anger?"

Yes, Bethel's daughter is actually a boy, and that's a secret that only a few people know at the moment.In fact, Bethel and the woman had been in a state of dread since they had two boys.His greatest wealth is not material money or invisible contacts, but his title.The earl is also a viscount, and the title of viscount is enough to sell for a very high price.

This is something that cannot be measured by wealth. He and his original wife have no heirs to inherit the title, which means that the title will eventually be passed on to his wife. The extra illegitimate children are absolutely unbearable for his wife.In fact, Ren can more or less guess some thoughts of that vicious woman.If there is no heir, if there is a small accident in Bethel, and some manipulation is done, the title will eventually fall on her.

This is definitely a big deal for her family!

Then the illegitimate child of Bethel becomes the greatest sin.If these sins are not eradicated, it will be difficult to do so.

In order to protect his youngest son, Bethel was able to protect at least one of them in danger. He raised his youngest son as a girl.Girls are far less threatening to the title than boys. After all, girls will marry in the end. The Privy Council or the Council will let an illegitimate child inherit the title of Bethel for the sake of extinct heirs, but they will never let an illegitimate daughter defile it. The nobility of title.

He can protect at least one child, preventing his surname from being completely wiped out in the long river of history.

"You are a smart person, Your Excellency the Earl." Ren picked up a delicate towel and wiped the tea splashed on the table, "Smart people will know how to choose a method that is beneficial to them, what do you think?"

After Bethel was silent for a moment, he looked up at Ren, "Do you want my allegiance?"

Allegiance is not just a verbal promise, but a very sacred ceremony.In this world, rituals are often endowed with great power that is sacred and inviolable, and the existence of rituals limits the deception of lies to the greatest extent.Back then, Orlando I stood up to challenge the Holy Empire, which was strong from the outside but strong in the middle. The sacred covenant promised has been implemented to this day. The gold nobles surpassed the secular ruling class and established a higher level of ruling class.

Even if Queen Pars, or the Orlando family tried to gather power, they still had to take care of the face of the golden nobles. This was the constraint brought about by the ceremony.In a society that values ​​bloodlines, inheritance, birth, and ceremonies, the noble's allegiance is unreserved. As long as he swears allegiance to Rennes, he, and his descendants, must stick to this promise before Rennes expels him. A promise, even if his descendants become civilians, they must be loyal to Ren's descendants.

Ren straightened his back and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Yes, a pack of cigarettes.

Cigarettes, tea, and newspapers are the most intimate things in his 30 years of life, closer than his wife and children.It is impossible for his wife and children to accompany him every moment of despair, but these three things can.After coming here, he asked the tobacco merchants under Salcomo to find a way to restore cigarettes instead of smoking with heavy pipes, and finally made remarkable progress.

The special paper without cigarettes here either has a peculiar smell after burning, or the burning speed is too fast to hold the tobacco.Fortunately, a craftsman came up with a brilliant idea. He used a plane to plan out a piece of wood as thin as a cicada's wing, and used this piece of wood to wrap Longdao's smoke bricks, obtaining very unexpected effects.So cigarettes also came into being. The wood used for this kind of cigarettes is dragon blood wood. After being nourished by dragon blood, dragon blood wood itself has a unique fragrance. After burning, this fragrance mixes with Longdao smoke bricks to form a distinct The different fragrances linger for a long time and penetrate into the hearts of the people.

The cost is naturally extremely expensive, but for the nobles, they don't take this money seriously.At present, the cigarettes are being actively prepared for sale. Once they are released, they will definitely bring great benefits to Rennes—you must know that 60.00% of the Longdao smoke bricks currently on the market come from Ortrenburg. The business was almost monopolized by Ryan.

After lighting the cigarette, Ren stood up and stood three meters away from Bethel, holding the cigarette in one hand and hanging naturally on his waist with the other. His straight spine made him extraordinarily tall and straight.He raised his head, looked at Bethel out of the corner of his eye, opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.

The two thoughts in Bethel's heart are in a fierce struggle. As an earl, he also has his pride and dignity.He can join forces with the aristocratic group, but if he completely surrenders and is loyal to someone, his face will be as hot as the tea soup that scalded the back of his hand before.

Something called shame was spreading in his heart, and he had an urge to give Ren a shot, knock him down, step on his head and ask him how he dared to treat a nobleman like this.But he can only think about it, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

The legend of Rennes is not a storybook that is circulated in private, but it does exist. His atrocities are well-known to the nobles of the imperial capital.

Butcher, executioner, murderer!
The tens of meters high Jingguan outside the Salmei Mountains is still shocking everyone, tens of thousands of dead souls are still crying outside Balatan, and the land on the grasslands of Bell Province is still black and red. It cannot be treated with common sense.

After hesitating again and again, Bethel took a deep breath, walked up to Ren and half-kneeled, and lowered his proud head. His face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't refuse the rational warning.

"I, in the name of my ancestors, I and my children and grandchildren, will be loyal to you from generation to generation, the successor of the great Alcanian family..." There was a cold choke in the tone, shame, shame, anger , unwillingness, remorse, hatred, disgust, hatred..., and surrender!
