Doomsday Code

Chapter 186 Dispute

Inside a noble mansion in the royal capital, today was just like usual. The noble class would not do anything compassionate because of the beast tide disaster in the west.

The banquets that should be held will still be held, and the resources that should be wasted will still be carried out.

At this time, in the backyard of the mansion, several princes who had suffered a severe blow due to the Emile incident gathered here today.

The entire backyard is now being guarded by many experts in secret, and the noise from the banquet in the front yard seems to be isolated from the world.

No one would have known that these princes, who usually only remotely commanded their subordinates to fight for power behind the scenes in their own fiefdoms, would return to the capital at this time and hold a secret meeting in this inconspicuous home of the dignitary.

"Brother, you are really cruel this time. We, your younger brothers, have done nothing in our barren fiefdoms, but you just overturned the table and took away the few connections that we, your younger brothers, have worked so hard to accumulate."

Femon danced with the knife in his hands, and in a few seconds he had peeled a perfectly peeled apple.

Feimeng handed the apple to Numu and said:

"Brother, don't forget that our father hasn't chosen anyone yet. You are so anxious to drag your brothers into this because of some trivial matters. Aren't you showing too little respect for us brothers?"

Jinmu took the apple from Feimon's hand. He didn't feel anything about what Feimon said.

Even though he has been worshipped by many people around him since he was a child and doesn't look that smart, the fact is that he has played the role of a person who is easy to be controlled very well.

As early as when he was young, after seeing his father retreating in the struggle with Qusai and others, he knew that his father was never the one who truly controlled the kingdom.

Just like this time when Moss XIII attacked them, although it seemed very easy, it gave them a great shock.

However, the fact is that the only ones who suffered real losses were the shallow forces of these sons, while the old forces of old guys like Qusai and Holmes did not suffer any losses at all.

Holmes was the last one to go into the water and it was the brothers who pulled him in together.

The purpose of his doing so was to remind Homeis that it was time to choose a side. Although Homeis seemed to have suffered heavy losses in this purge, the church and other forces that supported him did not suffer any damage.

"Fimon, are you done? If you are, then sit down."

Jinmu looked at Feimeng with a contemptuous smile.

Feimeng was about to say something harsh, but then Tandin came up to him with a smile and said:

"Brother, don't be so angry right away. We can't blame our eldest brother this time. This time, it was our father who was giving us brothers a warning."

"Seventh Brother, don't hold me back. If it weren't for our good big brother being so afraid of this and that, would the connections we have worked so hard to build have been lost?

I don’t want an explanation today. I will explain this to the people who followed me when I go back.”

"Explain, what explanation do you want? If it weren't for the friendship between brothers, those people under you would drag you down with you sooner or later."

"They are all jerkish people. It's ok for them to sell slaves privately normally, but this time they captured an elf and foolishly sold it directly in the kingdom just for the sake of profit."

Jin Mu also spoke very impolitely at this time.

"My people are all crooked, and your people are not much better. They usually look decent, and they always talk about morality. They are marquises of the kingdom, but in the end they are bought off with just a few coins.

If your two uncles the Marquis had not accepted bribes, would a bunch of us like you have been able to sell the elf to Huidun without any hindrance?"

"you……"

Jinm pointed at Feimon's nose and wanted to punch him.

Because what Feimon said was right, and this was also what made him most angry recently.

As a marquis of a kingdom, there is no telling how much income his fiefdom brings in every year.

At the same time, he was secretly flirting with some low-class businessmen, needless to say.

But this time, just for a few hundred gold coins, they actually ignored the taboos within the taboos and directly let the people under Femon transport the elves from their jurisdiction.

What's even more stupid is that these two good-for-nothing brothers didn't even bother to kill and silence the witnesses afterwards, and those people involved were still alive and well, which allowed Ren Da to catch them red-handed.

"Well, my two brothers, you didn't die unjustly, but my poor uncle died very unjustly.

He did it for the sake of his two elder brothers, so he didn't take a penny and just pretended he didn't see it and let his second elder brother's people pass."

"Now that the truth has been revealed, my uncle has been arrested for malfeasance. With this verdict, the position of marquis that my mother's family has worked so hard for generations will no longer be secure."

Tandin said this with an extremely innocent expression.

When Philemon heard Tandin talking about his uncle, he looked at his younger brother with some embarrassment. This time, they really had tricked Tandin.

"Why are you still arguing here? You might as well sit down and think about how to protect your people before the highest judgment comes down in three days."

At this time, the fifth prince Oak, who had been sitting there without saying a word, spoke.

"Hey, Fifth Brother, don't think about it. I can see that Father wants to weaken the forces around us brothers. I think Father is doing this for our own good.

This time I am just my uncle, but I believe that my father will not sentence my uncle to death, at most he will just reduce his title."

Tandin said with a sigh, his fat belly sticking out.

"Well, don't think too much about saving people. Just like what Old Seven said, father is trying to weaken the forces around us.

Don’t you understand what father means? He wants to see how far we can fight on our own after losing the help from these people.

By then, the candidate for the final position will really be revealed.”

The Treasury said this very bluntly.

This is not to say that he is a political novice and would actually put such a reason known to everyone on the table.

In fact, if he had already been the designated heir, then it would be stupid for him to say this, but now no one is the heir, so he is not stupid, but a reminder to his brothers.

Because his supporters are not only the people he has won over and his own mother's family, don't forget the church faction headed by Qu Sai.

He just wanted to tell everyone that the coming fight would be the real fight for the position of successor, and his mother was determined to win it. If this made him feel bad about the brotherhood, then don't blame his mother.

Of course, if one of them clearly stated that he would withdraw, then his mother would also accept the favor now. In the future, when he really comes to power, just like his father did to Prince Xiaosuo, the position of prince will not be impossible for him.
