My name is Ren

Chapter 353 Doing good deeds will also harm the interests of some people. Some people are willing to give, while others want to resist

Eyes flickering, this word is often just a written vocabulary.Because the gaze has no substance, it is naturally impossible to flicker.

But this does not mean that the meaning expressed by this word does not exist. When your favorite cup is broken, when you face several suspects, when you solemnly declare the value and significance of this cup , you stare into the eyes of these people, some people will meet your gaze without fear, and you can feel the firmness and openness in the gaze as if it were real.But if there is someone who broke your glass, he will try his best to stagger and avoid your gaze.

Even if your gaze meets his gaze, you will find that he is avoiding, and his eyes always want to look elsewhere subconsciously. This is the so-called flickering of eyes.This is a kind of self-protection and escape that naturally arises when facing doubts.Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone has to show such a guilty side. Some powerful politicians can sincerely look at others telling big lies, and say things they don't believe, but they can swear solemnly.

Ren believes that this guy is not that kind of person.He firmly memorized the appearance of this man with twinkling eyes, and then quickly moved his eyes away from him, so that the other party could not find out that he was already suspected by Ren.

"This is the end of the formal talk. Although the queen thinks that I am qualified for such a job, it is not working time. During non-working time, I think it is more interesting for us to talk about less formal topics.", Ryan's words made some people feel relaxed, and no one wanted to make such a dinner party too formal and serious.He smiled slightly, and slowly spread his right hand, "Then I have a small doubt, who will accompany me to dance the first dance?"

Watching Ryan dancing on the dance floor, Gaher, who stood outside the dance floor, nodded and clapped from time to time, with an exaggerated smile on his face, which would deepen the smile with every fast dance step of Ryan.There was no smile in his eyes.

In fact, from the moment Gaher knew that the Queen had sent a special envoy to Demaragu, he couldn't stand on Ren's side, or it was impossible to stand on the Queen's side.Even before, he remained neutral, but at this moment, he has been pushed into the opponent's camp.

This is actually not difficult to understand. If Rennes finds out major problems after coming to Demaragu, the series of negative effects brought about by these problems will eventually turn into whips on Gaher.As the governor of Demaragu, no matter what the reason was, it was his fault that the smuggling was rampant and the empire's sensitive strategic materials were sold at will.It was during his tenure, on his turf, that these things happened.

Regardless of whether these things are related to him or not, and whether he has benefited from them, at least one dereliction of duty cannot escape.If the Queen wants to get to the bottom of it, he is likely to be buried with these people-his political career will be completely ruined, and his life may be endangered.An incompetent governor has caused great losses to the interests of the empire, and because of his incompetence, the enemy has become stronger.

It is not unacceptable for the nobles behind the scenes to cut off the clues entangled in them, and for Her Majesty the Queen to maintain rule and stability, sacrificing a small governor.

So Gaher didn't want Ren to find out anything, he hoped Ren would fail so that the problem would not be on him, at least he would be clean before something bigger broke out.He has time and space to circle around, pick himself clean and leave this place.Even if something goes wrong in the future, the whip cannot be drawn on him, but on Ren.He is the Queen's special envoy. Given his status and status, he couldn't find out or dare not find out things. Gaher, a small earl, a small country governor, how could he find out, and how dare he check?

Gaher's mentality had already changed when he learned of all this, and he had already begun to waver and switch positions.

If Queen Pars ordered and delegated power to him, allowing him to take full control of this matter, he might have another completely different behavior.But politics is like that, and what may be removed is a tiny wedge that can bring down an entire building.In order to protect one's own interests and status, changing one's position and selling something is really not a big deal.

Beside him, an inconspicuous guy stood at the dining table with his back to the dance floor, picking up food for himself.If Ren could see through, he would find that the tong in his hand was just flipping through the cold dish, and did not add anything to himself.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Sistine asked me to say hello to you." This person is not impressive, and he can be easily forgotten when thrown in the crowd. The only thing that is special is his voice, which is deep and mellow, very powerful magnetic.

Gaher looked at Ryan without any change in his eyes, and his lips moved, "Mr. Sistine? Sorry, I don't seem to know him."

"No, you know me!" The man put a piece of bacon on the plate, looked at Gaher and smiled pointedly, "Mr. Sistine has been in love with you for a long time, and he hopes to See you later."

Gaher sneered twice, unexpectedly he did not veto this request.In fact, he did know Sistine. As the governor of Demaragu, how could he not know anything about those crazy smugglers on the border?Sistine was one of the stewards, and the most powerful one.His power comes from the nobles who support him behind him, or his master, who is one of the great nobles in the imperial capital.

These great nobles sold out the interests of the empire unscrupulously, which can almost be described as blatant.They were not afraid of being investigated by others at all, and they never thought of concealing their whereabouts. Their retainers unscrupulously transported the prohibited materials in broad daylight, loaded them in horse-drawn carts, and transported them out of the border to sell them on the ice sheet.This is no longer smuggling for self-interest, it is simply an act of treason.

Gaher once wanted to deal with these arrogant smugglers, but he soon discovered that his small arms could not hold back his thighs.At the same time, these smugglers also made a special contribution to Demaragu.The materials they transported needed to stop in Demaragu for a while. With the power and status of these people, it was impossible for them to live in a small room and live a poor life.They need to consume, and a staggering amount of consumption.

Skilled women, casinos, opera... almost everything they can enjoy, they are willing to spend a lot of money for it.

Take the only casino in the capital as an example. Every month, these people leave dozens of hundreds of gold coins here.For them, these gold coins may be just a drop in the bucket, a little bit of inconspicuous deduction from the smuggled money, but for the entire capital and his governor, this fund is completely enough to support this city and the other three cities A month's worth of consumption.Coupled with various other consumption items, it can be said that these smugglers have supported the economy and market of the entire Demaragu.

It is good for the country to drive them away, but it is not good for Demaragu. Without these incomes, Gaher will apply for funds from the empire, which will make those nobles in the imperial capital who have never suffered In the eyes of the master, he became an incompetent person.It was precisely because of their existence that Gaher didn't need to worry about funds, since it wasn't his interests that were being sold anyway.Besides, having been in this place for six years, he never thought that the ice barbarian could do much harm to the empire.

It was just a group of barbarian races with a population less than half of the population of Demaragu——Demaragu had a population of nearly 70, a barbarian race with a population of about [-], and wanted to attack a barbarian race with a population of only [-]. Is it a joke that a country with millions launches an invasion?
Maintaining a stable situation is the only job Gaher needs to do right now.

He turned a blind eye to those smugglers, not because he didn't know the existence of these people, but because he deliberately and numbly ignored their existence.

But now, such an attitude is no longer acceptable.

After hesitating for a while, Gaher's lips trembled slightly, "Tomorrow morning, I will find some time."

The man quickly put some food on his plate and turned to leave. The moment he left, he left a sentence, "Then we will be waiting for your arrival."

Gaher still had a warm smile on his face, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, and he was not as calm as he appeared.Is there any benefit in hanging out with these smugglers?The answer is yes, after all, there are not one or two nobles standing behind these people, otherwise they would not be able to get so many supplies, especially the Tiberium spar.This kind of strategic material has always been monopolized by the great nobles of the empire, and even if it is sold on the market, it needs to be registered.

After registration, the empire will have special personnel responsible for reviewing, judging whether the number of applications is too much through the application on the registration, and finally giving a relatively reasonable number.This number is often lower than the application requirements. If you apply for ten, it is considered generous to give up to seven, and sometimes you can only give five.Even some minor nobles cannot buy in large quantities.Perhaps only the gold nobles and great nobles can enjoy these things to their heart's content.

If Gaher can get in touch with these great nobles and sell them a face, maybe he can get a good position after his term of office expires and get a thigh.

Looking at Ren on the dance floor, Gaher sneered and applauded enthusiastically.

Ren on the dance floor was also paying attention to Gaher's every move outside the court. He faintly felt that there was something wrong with the person serving food beside him. He didn't show it, but remembered it in his heart.

When the song ended, he came to Gaher holding his partner's hand like a gentleman, and passed the partner's hand over, "I moved my body a bit, which gave me a new feeling."

The partner was a young girl who she said was Gaher's niece, but whether that was true is another matter.
