281 Good and Bad

"The reason why the enemy did not waver was that they claimed to have found Rega's son Aegon, and Aegon's inheritance was above Viserys."

The bald eunuch in a pink robe was standing on the stone staircase in front of the imperial conference hall. He waited for the king to come to the meeting and talked about new information to Lan Li, and sighed with his face.

"If this is the case, then Viserys in our hands will have no effect at all."

"Is that true?" Lan Li refused to comment after hearing this, "What if Aegon died?"

Varis was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "I think others say this, I think it's a joke, but Lord Renli is an exception - are you sure to assassinate Aegon?"

"No." Lanli shrugged: "I'll just say that."

"That's a pity." Varis sighed, "If the little Aegon suddenly appeared dies, our job will be much better."

"Who said no..."

...

The two stood in front of the hall and talked happily, only knowing what they thought in their hearts.

What they are talking about is Viserys Targaryen, whom Ranley captured back some time ago.

Normally, after capturing the enemy's "king" in hand, even if the enemy does not withdraw immediately, there will be turmoil.

However, things went against my wishes, and the enemy was not affected by this, so I still did whatever I should do. The Imperial Conference could not understand this, but now I know the truth-

Because there are more suitable replacements.

Rega was the heir to the Targaryen dynasty, and Rega's son Aegon was naturally higher than his uncle Viserys' succession. Even the situation of the prisoners in their hands was embarrassing, and they could neither threaten the enemy nor restrain them.

However, Lanli knew that the so-called son of Rayga, Aegon, was not real, but a fake. The source of this matter was also very simple. It was the intelligence manager Varis who stood in front of him, who looked harmless. Of course, it was not what he said, but the result of Lanli's "heart reading".

Lanli's sense of Varis was not bad at all. In his few impressions in his previous life, the intelligence manager Varis seemed to be a good person for the country and the people. In the end, he rebelled because of the original protagonist Dragon Mother who set fire to the fire and massacre the people.

After becoming the Minister of Justice, Lan Li didn't have much suspicion of this person, because every time he saw this bald man, he would come over with a happy face and have a friendly conversation, occasionally providing some small secrets to show closeness. At the same time, when Lan Li started a large-scale trial some time ago, he could feel the kindness and goodwill that Varis grew towards him.

However, the result was contrary to the impression. Although Renly did not find his hostility toward him from Varis, this did not mean that Varis had no problem, or that he had a big problem - this man was a senior spy.

The person Varis really serves is the son of Rega he mentioned before, Aegon, or the so-called Aegon was a person he personally concocted. The purpose is very simple, and naturally he wanted to take advantage of the situation and then push him to the top.

It is obvious that Varis is an enemy.

Lanli expressed regret for this, but this did not stop him from taking action.

So after the imperial meeting that day, a group of soldiers suddenly stopped the intelligence manager who was walking towards the residence halfway, and escorted him directly to the dungeon regardless of his defense.

This incident caused a lot of panic in the Red Fort. Minister of Finance Mess Tyriel even protested seriously, believing that it was not legal to treat important officials of the Kingdom without evidence.

However, before the operation, Lanli had already obtained the consent of the former Prime Minister and his brother Robert. The former had just obtained Lanli's message and was happily preparing to build a shelter.

The latter was half-believing and half-doubted about the spy's rhetoric, but Robert did not stop Lanley's work a while ago, but claimed that he had to come up with conclusive evidence.

The intelligence chief is at least an important official at the imperial meeting, so it is naturally impossible to deal with it casually. However, Lan Li does not think that anyone can keep quibbling and deceiving in front of his "mind reading". This is the case.

...

"When I heard how you interrogated those prisoners, I thought that maybe I would end up like that soon."

In the morning, the eunuch in the pink robe who was chatting and laughing with Lan Li was now leaning against the wall in the wooden cell. Facing Lan Li coming outside the cell, he sighed helplessly, "This is such a joke. Even the gods in the sky are coming to interfere in ordinary things now?"

Varis' sissy voice had disappeared at this time, and his words were hoarse and rough, as if this was his normal way of speaking.

"Do you have anything you want to tell me?" asked Renli, who was sitting in a chair outside the cell.

"What's the difference between saying or not?"

Varis smiled and said, "I'll be beheaded anyway." As he said, he paused, "Or hanged? Sir, you can do whatever you want, just for the sake of the same situation between my colleagues in the past, just don't put me in a cage and feed the crows."

Lan Li didn't say anything when she heard this, but looked at the other person a few times, and kept writing on the parchment paper in her hand.

The dungeon was quite quiet, except for the sound of paper and pen friction, there was only the crackling sound of torches burning. Varis in the cell could remain calm at first, but seeing that there were more and more black fonts on the parchment paper under Renly, and the words were basically in line with the facts, he couldn't help swallowing, and then anger arose.

"So this is the arrangement of the gods in heaven?"

"What?" Lan Li paused in her hand and looked up at the other person.

"The Crazy King in your mouth has indeed harmed many lords and nobles, but apart from the last crazy act, who has heard of him framed ordinary people?" Varis questioned:

"Your brother Robert overthrew the so-called tyranny of the Crazy King. As a result, for more than ten years, the treasury that was originally filled with gold coins is now empty and can only be used to support mice. This is not the debt owed by the Iron Throne outside. It is hard for me to imagine how the respected Mr. Robert had squandered so much wealth. I also think about it for a long time, what would the Iron Throne do if the seven kingdoms had a disaster like the spring plague decades ago? Who are the Crazy King and Robert really incompetent?"

Lan Li listened quietly and didn't say anything. However, the other party seemed to suddenly lose interest, and leaned back to the wall, sighing indifferently.

"There is no natural king. Even Prince Rega, who is highly praised by the world, ignores the overall situation because a woman ignores the overall situation and a woman who has already had a engagement with others. Haha, is that love? How many innocent people die because of this?"

After saying that, he shook his head, closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he had nothing to say.

Lan Li didn't bother him, but feeling the emotions in his heart, he didn't notice the joy of the traitor at all. After a moment of silence, Lan Li simply stood up and walked away.

At this time, the sky was a little gloomy outside, and the sun was covered by dark clouds, which seemed to be a sign of rain. After looking up, Renli sighed.

The other party accused Targaryen of despising Baratheon and contemptuous of him, but after all, it was just disappointment.

Disappointment with this regime and disappointment with this world.

This made Lan Li couldn't help but think of the mother of the dragon in her previous life's memory and the wheel of tyrants she mentioned.

"This world is indeed very corrupt and rigid..."

He didn't continue thinking about it, because Lan Li suddenly felt something changed in his body, which made him decisively go upstairs and return to his study.

When he looked in the mirror, he found that the sublimation in his attribute bar that had not moved for a long time suddenly jumped from the previous 31% to 57%!

"what happened?"

Lan Li frowned and thought, but she didn't expect that she had done anything special before.

But then he suddenly realized that his companion Tobu hurriedly ran up with a happy look on his face.

"Sir, I, I'm angry!"

"What does it mean?" Lan Li raised her eyebrows and asked.
