In a room surrounded by silk and bamboo, and people mingling with each other, Wen Rensheng and the others were being entertained attentively.
Behind him are the maids with low eyebrows, all of them dressed in Tang suits, and they are completely one-in-a-million standards.
Next to them were two East Island Chinese who spoke complimentary words in standard Chinese, which was very pleasant to the ears.
Upon receiving such hospitality, Wen Rensheng immediately understood why Uncle Mai in his previous life would quickly loosen the dog leash in his hand.
In addition to benefits, this emotional pleasure factor should not be underestimated.
Just like the two companions Chen and Wu, they both had smiles on their faces and talked easily with the people next to them.
Probably because they think the problem is not a big one and the upper echelons of Dongdao are still in control.
Only Wen Rensheng will not take it lightly. What these guys like to play most is double-dealing. They have taken this technique to the extreme, so that they can make a big difference with a small amount.
The Tokugawa family, who was sitting at the main seat, saw the guests and hosts having a good time. He signaled and waited until the scene became slightly quiet before he said, "Thank you to the three envoys from the kingdom for your selfless support. My father was killed by the traitors on a special day of the year.
We hope that the three of you will find the real culprit for us, and we won’t let anyone go.”
"Sir Ieko, you're too polite. We are only assisting in the investigation, and you have to take the lead in this matter." Inspector Chen said.
The other two nodded slightly. This was the tone when they came. They wanted to find out the truth, but they couldn't get too involved and become a target.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have controlled the puppets.
Who doesn't know that this place is a whirlpool, and it is easy for two or three assassinations to occur.
The current situation is different from ancient times. Even xenogeneic experts are vulnerable to modern assassination methods.
When Tokugawa Ieyuki heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he covered it up and said, "We have already obtained some preliminary results of the investigation, and the files will be transferred to the three envoys. Let us show our friendship as landlords tonight." The three of them nodded. My son is dead and my sons are not anxious. Why should outsiders like them be anxious?
…………
At the same time, in another secret room.
Tokugawa Iefuku, the third son of the late general, was discussing with two white men.
"You really didn't kill my father?" He looked at each other.
"Absolutely not. We have always been friendly and have never interfered in your internal affairs. How could we kill the general?" One of the older white men shook his head firmly.
"Your Excellency Boris, we have used great prophecy, but we can only find some traces, but we can't see the murderer. Only you have this kind of hidden technical means, right?" Tokugawa Iefuku didn't believe it.
Boris stared at the other party and said, "Sir Zhong Nayan, the Chinese people have always liked to steal our technology, and they will do it too."
"They have no motive. In fact, they rarely care about us." Tokugawa Iefuku waved his hand.
"Then the people from the Destiny Society stole this technology from a certain channel." Boris said perfunctorily.
"Bastard, do you think I'm a fool? How could they obtain such powerful technology without your acquiescence?" Tokugawa Iefu said bitterly.
"They are very infiltrated. After all, ordinary people believe in what they say. Everyone is envious of the benefits of aliens. They have money and longevity, so they are endless and continuous, just like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. We are not very good either.
A radical cure." Boris spread his hands and said.
"Those are traitors, pinkeye. We can preserve the alien species because of the efforts of our ancestors for dozens of generations. Are they going to take it away just because of the efforts of one generation?" Tokugawa Iafuku suddenly heard the other party mention those people.
Cursed.
"However, they are also useful. Just like now, under normal circumstances, how could you have the opportunity to inherit the position of general so early? The general will have to rule the East Island for at least another hundred years..." Boris whispered
.
Tokugawa Iafuku stopped talking suddenly, and his breathing seemed to become heavier.
When Boris saw this, he felt disdainful. As expected, even aliens cannot escape the temptation of power.
As life expectancy increases, the temptation of power will only become heavier, not lighter.
There are almost no people who hold power and enjoy the taste of power who do not wish to live forever.
If they really become immortal, can they give up their power?
Impossible.
The third son of the general is no exception.
This is something that money cannot compare to. No matter how much money there is, many people will not bow down, but power is different. Many people have to be low even if they don't have low power.
The other party is now just a Zhongnayan, a civil official, starting from three, and there are a lot of higher positions above.
This is exactly the measure taken by the father of the general on the other side. He will not give his living son too high an official position, and his brother's family fortune is nothing more than a big promise.
However, the other party's eldest brother, Tokugawa Taro Iakazu, was ordered to become a monk and pray for the general. However, the blessing did not come, and misfortune struck first.
The general's fate is probably related to the unlucky Taro family and their constant resentment.
At this moment, Tokugawa Iefuku said, "I understand, this matter must be related to my eldest brother. He is currently a monk, and he has done many evil things secretly to curse his father..."
Boris smiled slightly, and sure enough, unite with the second-ranked son first, kill the first-ranked son, and then kill the second-ranked son. The inheritance rights will belong to the third son.
"We will help you find out about this matter." He immediately said with understanding.
Didn't they support this general's third son just for today?
The main strength and wealth of the people of Dongdao are still concentrated in the upper class. It is impossible for them to take the route of the lower class, so they naturally choose the upper class.
As for this third son, because the possibility of inheriting the position of general is low, the risk is greater, but if the investment is successful, the return will be greater.
The other party has already hinted that once it takes power, it will partially tilt towards America.
Of course, just listen to what these upper-level figures say, but if you want the other party to submit, you have to use other methods.
Not long after, after a few more words, Boris and another white subordinate left the secret room.
Tokugawa Iafuku touched his chin, looked at the other person's back, and suddenly his face turned slightly cold.
His young and handsome face slowly changed, revealing a face that is most familiar to the people of the East Island. It is old-fashioned and dignified - General!
It turns out that he is the real general!
No one knows that the general of the Dongdao family has always been a human puppet, and the person who controls him is his own third son. This is an iron law passed down from ancient times.
Relying on this method, his family has been passed down steadily for dozens of generations. It is a truly eternal lineage, much better than the so-called emperors of the Chinese people.
In his view, the so-called emperors of the Great Kingdom are all idiots who only covet superficial glory and power, but focus all dangers on themselves.
Thinking of this, he remembered the three strategies in the ship that a Chinese man said last year.
That was later spread among the upper class, "Rong, Yin, Expansion", and his family used the "Yin" formula.
What is manifest does not last long. The more you do, the greater the resentment. This is the law of human society.
"He is a smart man. Geniuses have existed in China for generations. It is a pity. If there were no alien species, our East Island could still take advantage of the opportunity to rise. But with this thing, it completely eliminates the chance of rising. It is really annoying...
”
The general with an old look on his face sighed, wiped his face, changed back to the young face of the third son, got up and walked out of the secret room.
