Chapter 77 Chess Game
"Old shopkeeper, please feel free to tell me the origins of those two women."
Balliard only felt that this old man was a bit troublesome. People in this world line were all troubled. He and Dolan were just masters and disciples in words, but Dolan gave him a psychic dragon horse.
It's just a chance encounter with others, and they dare to entrust them with their wealth and life. Strangely, is this the soil that breeds "chivalrous people"?
"Those two women are concubines given to the princes by other princes in the empire. It is normal for princes to send concubines to each other. Who can discover the conspiracy?
If it hadn't been for the fact that the master had lived in seclusion since he became seriously ill, and all the power was in the hands of those two women, acting more and more unscrupulously, we might not have been able to know the conspiracy."
He has a master-level cultivation and knows so much about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but he doesn't know what this old shopkeeper was like when he was young. Could he be a disciple of the Hou Mansion?
"The imperial title can only be hereditary by the blood of the princes. If no one in the princes can inherit the title, the country will eventually be wiped out. Therefore, spreading the branches and leaves is an important task for every prince.
However, the cultivation of literature and Taoism did not focus on matters in the house. There were only seven or eight wives and concubines in the Marquis's house. In the past decades, only four sons and no young ladies were born.
Neither the eldest nor the second son could inherit the throne, so they gave another prince behind the two women an opportunity. First, he treated the third and fourth sons as pigs, and then instigated the two sons to rob the people.
Women, just to spread their branches and leaves.
However, if the two young masters have a son, their mother will die together with them, and only a few young ladies will remain in the house. When the Marquis dies of illness, one of the two young masters will inherit the throne, and only one young lady and one of the young ladies will be allowed to inherit the throne.
The son of the marquis with evil intentions was engaged, and then the two young masters died unexpectedly.
At that time, the son of the Marquis can continue the engagement and control the Marquis Mansion, while the young lady is young and has her fiancé in charge of everything. Ten years later, will the owner of the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion still be of the Kaiyang Marquis lineage?"
"If I were that prince, I would definitely do that thing of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun with the sun. It's just some babies, and I would take their blood and put it into another woman's body. Who would be able to tell that there is anything wrong with it?"
Balliard couldn't help but applaud the Marquis's foresight. The concubine he sent was as secretive as a dead soldier. If nothing happened to the Marquis of Kaiyang's Mansion, everything would be spared.
Talk about it, but if there is a problem with the inheritance of Kaiyanghou Mansion, this man can naturally take everything in Kaiyanghou Mansion into his hands.
"So that's it! If you want to marry with the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, you only need to keep a young lady. But if you want to exchange all the blood of one of your own girls for the blood of Kaiyang Marquis, how can a baby do it?"
The old shopkeeper had already broken the pipe in his hand, feeling so resentful and unwilling in his heart.
"Why do you want a girl to have the blood of Kaiyang Marquis?"
Balliard was puzzled. According to what he just said, the girl was completely redundant and would even have an impact on taking over the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion.
"Then the Marquis wants to invade the Kingdom of Kaiyang. Have you asked the other Marquises? How can others not be greedy for such a big piece of cake without some protective measures?
If there is not that girl with the blood of Kaiyang Marquis, even if the Marquis wants to invade Kaiyang Province, other Marquises will poach a lot of profits."
The old shopkeeper crumpled the pipe in his hand into a ball, then crushed it into fine powder and dropped it on the ground, as if he wanted to cut the marquis and the two women into pieces.
"But if there is a girl with the blood of the old marquis, you can call her the daughter of the eldest son, and establish a legitimate and legitimate heir to be your 'enemy'. It is best to make the child you send there unable to
contend with it,
In this way, other people who are watching eagerly will know that the Kaiyang Marquis is a tough guy, and secretly, it silently embezzles everything that takes over Kaiyang Province. By the time other Marquis finds out, the situation has been decided and it will be difficult to get a piece of the pie."
"Does the emperor not care about such behavior?"
A good plan, indeed a good plan, but Balliard has a real daughter of Jiang Miao in his hands.
"Hey - Your Majesty is stupid and only listens to the lies of the traitor. As long as you bring a lot of money to bribe the traitor, you will definitely achieve your goal."
The old shopkeeper sighed and took out a brand new cigarette from the drawer. Through the narrow gap, he could see at least dozens of cigarettes among them. It seemed that the old man had crushed the cigarette into pieces.
Less.
"I don't know the name of the old shop owner. How can he become such a knowledgeable shop owner and become an unknown shop owner?"
His wisdom is extraordinary and his martial prowess is at the level of a master. It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of mortals. Such a person, even with such great virtue,
There can't be too many in the Nuo Empire.
"this……"
"But what's the secret?"
Seeing that the old shopkeeper refused to speak, Balliard naturally used the trick of inducement.
"I, Zhu Di, formerly known as Zhao Jie, accompanied the Marquis to the Northern Barbarians and made great achievements in the war. Unfortunately, he was framed by a traitor. Fortunately, with the help of the Marquis, he was able to remain anonymous."
Judi's eyes were distracted, and under Balliard's inducement, she told her whole story.
"Then he became a guest of the Hou Mansion and taught the eldest and second young masters martial arts. However, the eldest young master disappeared and the second young master went crazy and was expelled from the house. Fortunately, there is still an old shop to make a living on."
"Since this is a century-old store, why do I listen to you and have only been here for less than ten years?"
Balliard knew that Jiang Miao "disappeared" ten years ago, and it must have been less than ten years since Zhu Di was expelled from the Hou Mansion. How could there be such a century-old store to rely on for a living?
"This inn is the base of Fengdie, an intelligence organization that the Marquis only obeys from previous Marquises. It is not only a century-old inn, but I am in charge of this intelligence agency, so I can know so many secrets.
But the Marquis turned a blind eye to this. No matter how much I warned him, the Marquis did not take any action against the two women. As retainers, how can we not obey the orders of the Lord?"
Judy's eyes gradually condensed, and she was almost free of Balliard's interference. However, regarding this chess game, Balliard was only able to escape from one part, and could not get a glimpse of the entire chess game.
How could it be that Marquis Kaiyang turned a blind eye to this and had no back-up plan? Perhaps Zhu Di was a fan of the authorities, or maybe he was getting more and more anxious because Kaiyang Hou's back-up plan had been silent for too long.
"Thank you, husband, for informing me."
Balliard held his hands for a moment and walked out of the inn, but he was still observing the movements in the inn with his shadow vision. Since it was an intelligence agency, it was impossible for him and Zhu Di to talk for so long without anyone paying attention.
I hope no one can tell anything from it. Balliard has just eliminated the mental influence on Judy, but it may not be that no one can tell that Judy is under mental control.
