22 The first friendly
Conrad impeached the House of Armor on charges of "inaction" and "collusion with air pirates", and ironically, as evidence, the fact that the "*possessed" of the air pirate group was eliminated.
The criminal records of the "*leading" group were piled into a hill on Nuoyin's table, which was literally "full of evil". More than half of the piracy cases that have been unresolved in the military data room in recent years can be counted as the "*leading" group. Eliminating such a vicious air pirate group is certainly a great merit, but on the other hand, if a group of air pirate groups commits so many cases in their jurisdiction, Nuoyin, as the commander of the "Cangkong King Cavalry", can't refuse to blame.
Conrad used this reason to impeach Noon. Although such a claim is not completely unreasonable, he made up lies about the fact that Noon and others came late two hours after the airship was attacked. Prime Minister Catos used the power of the Embrion family to oppress all surviving passengers to sign the forged impeachment letters, and even claimed that the "Cangkong King Cavalry" was suspected of colluding with the air thieves. As a result, even the Heraldry House could not sit by and sent a military police force to bring Noon back to investigate.
The easiest way to rescue No Yin is to prove that the evidence provided by Conrad is simply false. At this point, Yili, as a survivor of the air pirate incident, has a great say, so Qilin immediately thought of coming to the tavern to find the son of the merchant.
"...In other words, I want me to come forward as a witness to prove Bai Xiang's innocence?" Yili seemed quite distressed.
His hesitation makes sense. Unlike the unconcerned Qilin, he is the young east of the Gren Chamber of Commerce, and his actions also represent the position of the Gren Chamber of Commerce. Although the Gren Chamber of Commerce is at least a large chamber of commerce that ranks among the top ten in the kingdom, whether it is the power-minded prime minister or the "uncrowned royal family", they are huge existences that small chambers of commerce are far from being able to compete with. Therefore, the Gren Chamber of Commerce has always been careful to maintain its relationship with those in power. As for the last incident where Yili hosted Conrad on the "Virginity" event, it was part of the public relations operation of the Gren Chamber of Commerce.
Qilin asked Yili to come forward as a survivor of the air pirate incident to prove Nuo Yin's innocence. For the Grayne Chamber of Commerce, which has always been biased towards the Prime Minister's Sect, this is equivalent to letting him abandon the Prime Minister's Sect and turn to the "Uncrown Royal Family" camp. Unlike the last time I drank privately, if Yili really dared to stand up and directly oppose Conrad's impeachment case this time, the Grayne Chamber of Commerce will definitely be regarded as the target of the attack by the Prime Minister's Sect. When I think of such a result, Yili really finds it difficult to agree with Qilin's request.
"Don't your family have the family motto of 'repaying a drop of water, repaying each other'?" Qilin hugged his hands in front of his chest and pointed out with some dissatisfaction. "Finish, Nuoyin is our savior. If she hadn't arrived in time at that time, we should have turned into ashes with the airship. Now that the benefactor is in trouble, do you plan to stand by and watch?"
"Although...even if it is..." Yili replied frowningly. "My personal words don't matter, but from the perspective of the Granine Chamber of Commerce..."
"Grand Chamber of Commerce..." Qilin nodded thoughtfully. "You are the youngest person of the Grand Chamber of Commerce. If you stand up to fight Conrad in this matter, the bastard prime minister might be angry at the Grand Chamber of Commerce... Are you worried about this situation?"
"Yes..." Yili showed a bitter expression. "With the scale of the Grayne Chamber of Commerce, I can't afford to offend the prime minister's faction at all. If I come forward to contradict Mr. Conrad, I will definitely be..."
"That kind of waste is ignored. If something happens to No Yin, I will send him to hell as quickly as possible." Qilin interrupted Yili. "Besides, if the Gren Chamber of Commerce really has to choose one of the powers to form an alliance, I think the Iserey family would be a better choice than the nouveau riche's prime minister. After all, compared to currying against the useless idiot master, selling a favor to the duke's uncle in this matter, I don't know how much reward you will get in the future. Even if you consider it from the perspective of a merchant, this is a very cost-effective business. Don't you think?"
"... It's true..." Yili looked at Qilin in surprise, with a strange look in his eyes.
Even the powerful prime ministers dare not attack the Iserey family. Who in the kingdom does not know the dignity of the "Uncrown Royal Family"? But the problem is that because the Iserey family is a noble existence far away from the clouds, it is simply unattainable for the Gren Chamber of Commerce, which has no title, so the Gren Chamber of Commerce has to choose to curry favor with the Prime Minister. Now, Qilin pointed out a path to Yili to make connections with the "Uncrown Royal Family", which is a dream opportunity for the Gren Chamber of Commerce.
But the problem is that the price of seizing opportunities is to be enemies with the prime ministers from now on. It can be said that danger and chance exist at the same time. If done well, the future development of the Grayne Chamber of Commerce is just around the corner. If it is not done well, the Grayne Chamber of Commerce may disappear tomorrow. Without discussing it with his father, Yili really finds it difficult to make a decision alone.
"Now is not the time to hesitate, Yili." Qilin stretched out his hand at Yili. "If you decide, please help me."
Yili looked at Qiqi blankly. Without the gorgeous words, the black-haired young man in front of him just simply stretched out his hand, but Yili felt an incredible urge to hold that hand tightly.
Qiqi's strong will and stormy action force all brought him an indescribable sense of pleasure. Just like riding a horse on the endless grassland, Yili couldn't help but wonder, if he just followed him side by side, how could he see the magnificent scene of turning around? For Yili, the son of a businessman, he had never had such expectations for others before.
"I'll ask you too, Master Gren." At this time, Rachel also asked Erie in a earnest tone, and her words became the last weight to tilt the balance.
"...I understand." The young man in white sighed helplessly and reached out to hold Qilin's hand. "Let me grow some strength for Isere Baixiang."
"That's all." Qilin laughed and reached out to put his hand on Yili's shoulder. "But don't worry, Gren Shang won't fight alone."
"Huh?" Yili blinked.
"Actually, I just remembered it..." Qilin glanced at the rows of shops opposite the tavern and confirmed to Yili.
"You seem to have said on the airship that, except for the Gran Chamber of Commerce, other chambers of commerce on Second Avenue have been rescued by the Cangkong King Rider, right?"
"That's right..." Yili suddenly felt uneasy. "What are you going to do?"
"It's not a big deal, I'm just thinking, since they all have the kindness they owe Nuoyin..." Qilin blinked at Yili, showing a smile that made the son of the merchant furious on the back.
"Then it's natural to let them contribute some effort to this matter?"
………………………………………
If there is a more vigilant place in the city of Ringer Ire than the palace, then naturally it must be the Heraldry Court.
The Heraldic Academy is the highest supervisory authority of the Kingdom of LaVillis. It is independent of the palace, from princes and nobles to military officers and soldiers, all of them are the objects of the Heraldic Academy to exercise power. It can be said that in the Kingdom of LaVillis, the Heraldic Academy has supreme power - based on common sense, this situation is absolutely abnormal. However, if you want to ask why this abnormal situation occurred in the Kingdom of LaVillis, you have to start with the Dragon Man War three hundred years ago.
The Dragon Man War was a war launched by the rising dragon clan against the celestial beings who dominated the sky. This war destroyed the extremely prosperous sky civilization, and the losers also suffered heavy casualties in this war. The floating cities built by the celestial people were also destroyed by the dragons and fell to the ground one by one. Only a very small number of the celestial beings who fell with the floating city but survived after the war. In fact, the predecessor of the city of Ringer Ire was the ruins of a floating city that fell in the Dragon Man War. In other words, the ancestors of the royal family of Lavelis were the celestial beings of the ancient people.
The ancestors of the royal family of LaVillis chose to intermarry with the earthly people and tried to establish an orderly country in the chaotic earthly realm, but not all surviving heavenly beings had the same idea as them. Among the surviving heavenly beings, only a few chose to coexist with the earthly beings, while most of the celestial beings chose to retain their original lifestyle. They built a giant tower fortress called the "Tower of Babel" somewhere on the earth, and lived a life almost isolated from the outside world.
The Tower of Babel inherits most of the heritage of the sky civilization. As for the techniques commonly used in the above-ground world, such as airships and other technologies, they are almost all products taught by the "Tower of Babel" to the people on the ground. For all countries in the above-ground world, the Tower of Babel is not only the source of the air technology they generally use, but also the lifeblood of the activities of various countries. It is an existence like a "holy land". The Tower of Babel teaches the knowledge of sky civilization to the people on the ground. In order to ensure that these precious civilization heritage does not become the fuse of another world war, the Tower of Babel has corresponding supervision agencies in all countries that receive their aid. In the Kingdom of LaVillis, the name of that institution is called "The House of Emblems".
The "Halloween House" was originally just designed to govern the army that used flying technology. However, as the Kingdom of LaVillis and the Tower of Babel have always been in good terms, and as the exchanges between the two sides deepened, the "Halloween House" gradually changed from a supervisory agency originally affiliated to the "Halloween House" to the highest supervisory agency of the subordinate kingdom. Although the "Halloween House" has a lot of complaints about this, for the Kingdom of LaVillis, the existence of the "Halloween House" has indeed become an indispensable part of maintaining national order.
However, at present, due to the departure of an important figure, the Heraldry House has fallen into an unprecedented dilemma. As a result, under the clever calculations of Prime Minister Catos, he has to become a political tool for him to realize his ambitions.
Conrad impeached Bai Xiangchang, the "Cangkong King Cavalry" to the Heraldry Academy for "inaction" and "collusion with air pirates". Considering No Yin's special identity, the Heraldry Academy specially sent a military police team to the Heraldry Academy to assist in the investigation. Because she was only assisting in the investigation, No Yin was not taken with any restraint. At this moment, she was sitting on the side of the court, listening to the investigative officer above with no interest as he was thinking of Conrad's impeachment case.
The long impeachment case was mostly a crime of "capturing" the pirate group. Not long after, Nuoyin turned his eyes to a certain evil young man on the other side. Noticing that Nuoyin's gaze, Conrad showed a vicious expression as if he had a deep resentment to her. Needless to say, Nuoyin could guess that this must be related to the fact that he was taught by Qilin yesterday.
(...Is it Katos's idea?) Noin judged this way.
Conrad proposed impeachment not as the son of Embrion, but as a survivor who was attacked by air pirates, so that the Heraldry House could not question whether his motive was legitimate. At the same time, Conrad cleverly distorted the viewpoint of the case, creating the illusion that the "Cangkong King Cavalry" would let the air pirate group rage. Although it was nonsense about "the air pirate troops were late", the impeachment book as evidence contained many passengers' signatures. The various conditions were brought together, leaving Nonin with no room for defense.
No Yin didn't think that the evil-des-in-law in front of him could think of such clever means, and that the Prime Minister Katos was instructing him. If it was instructed by Katos, it meant that the ambitious man had decided to officially start war with the Isereire family. For Katos, who could not wait to gain the highest power of the kingdom, the Isereire family was an obstacle that could not be avoided. Although No Yin was also prepared for the conflict between the two sides sooner or later, he did not expect that this would kick off.
To be honest, it caught her off guard.
The Heraldry House is not on the side of the Prime Minister's Sect, but it will not be frank about the Iserre family. In a sense, the Heraldry House plays a political balance. Just like Catos's power is difficult to oppress the Heraldry House with the Prime Minister's power. From another perspective, even if the Duke comes to deal with it personally, it will not be able to achieve obvious results. In this way, Catos' choice to attack the Iserre family through the completely neutral Heraldry House is a wonderful method - although Noin has never had a good impression of Catos, the man, who was privately called "vulture" by the court ministers, does have a fearful talent in conspiracy.
Even though she knew it was Catos' conspiracy, No Yin could not defend herself. Conrad sued the entire "King of the Sky" to the Emblem House. All she could do was to do was to do her best not to implicate her subordinates. When No Yin was secretly making up her mind, the investigator had already read Conrad's impeachment letter. According to the established procedures, he would first confirm to No Yin whether the above statement was true.
"May Isere Baixiang, do you have any objection to the content of the impeachment letter?"
The investigator confirmed to No Yin in a formulaic tone, but what No Yin noticed was the gray-haired man standing in a corner of the courtroom.
The man's name is Noves, who serves as the chief of the military police team of the Heraldry House. Moreover, for some reason, Noves has known him a long time ago.
In No Yin, he saw that the Chief of the Gendarmerie could be said to be the military post with the highest power in the kingdom, and No Weis had the calm temperament unique to the brave warriors, and he was indeed a person who was enough to serve as the Chief of the Gendarmerie. Since the beginning of the trial, the silver-haired man had almost never said a word, standing quietly on the side of the court as if he had transformed into a bronze statue. However, when No Yin turned his eyes to him again, he was surprised to find that the Chief of the Gendarmerie was no longer the calm appearance he had before.
