Chapter 221 Governors
"Are you going back to take back the throne?" said the princess.
Gregor looked at Roger, and Roger nodded to him. Gregor said, "Yes, I invited Mr. Roger's Rose Pirates to help me defeat Francesco and regain the throne."
The princess nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Francisco has been looking for you these days. The capital star is full of secret police officers. I want to ask, is the key in your hands?"
Gregor nodded with his lip.
"Can you show me?"
Gregor looked at Roger again, and Roger said, "Let me show her." He was not afraid of the woman running away at Roger's speed.
Gregor took out a box from behind and took out the key inside the box.
The princess carefully caught it and looked carefully. After reading it, she said to Gregor seriously, "Your Majesty, your heavenly key is fake!"
"What! Impossible!" Gregor screamed in disbelief.
Roger signaled him to calm down and said to the princess in a deep voice, "How do you know that this heavenly key is fake?"
"My father is the closest housekeeper to His Majesty the Emperor. He has always kept the Tianji for the royal family. When I was young, I saw Tianji. There was a small groove on the side of Tianji, but this Tianji did not." The princess pointed to Tianji's side and said.
Roger and Gregor looked at each other and said terrible.
When the princess saw the two people, she said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, because Francesco himself doesn't know whether the key to heaven in his hands is real."
"What does it mean?" Roger asked in a deep voice.
"There are nine heavenly keys in total. Each of the eight planets has one in their hands, and one in the emperor's hands. Because one of them was executed before, the emperor has two in his hands, one in your hands, one in your hands, and the other in Francesco's hands. Now Francesco believes that what you have is the real heavenly key, but in fact, no one knows where the real heavenly key is now." said the princess.
"What should we do now?" Gregor said anxiously.
Roger also looked at the princess, who said, "Ten days later, it will be the time for the governors to enter the capital to report their duties. At that time, you can find an opportunity to confirm and see who is in his hands."
"I think we should first confirm whether Francesco's hand is real. If his is real, we would be bad." Roger said.
"I can check it out for you. Don't act rashly. If Francisco discovers it, it will be bad. And if you go to peek at the Heavenly Key, Francisco will definitely be suspicious. He will doubt whether the Earthly Key in your hands is not true. If he asks the Governors to call out the Heavenly Key, then the real Heavenly Key will be found by him. So now, don't be impatient." The princess said seriously to the two.
Grego nodded and said, "I get it."
"I won't come here tomorrow. I will send someone to send you a message. Another thing, Your Majesty, four of the eight governors in the original place are loyal to your father, and the one who died is a neutral party. In other words, there are still four governors you can rely on. When the governor reports their duties, they will be arranged in various hotels in the capital. You can visit them secretly to see if you can find a way to deal with Francesco together." The princess said.
Roger and Gregor nodded.
"Then I'll leave first." said the princess.
The two watched the princess leave.
"Gregor, can this woman rely on?" Roger still had a trace of doubt about the princess.
Gregor said, "It should be useful for us. She said so much, and it doesn't seem like she is going to sell us out, just wait first."
Roger said, "I hope your feelings are right, otherwise it will be bad if the army comes tomorrow."
Roger did not tell others about this immediately. He chose to remain silent for a while and he would not say it until the matter was clear.
Time flies, and the next day is coming soon.
Roger was waiting under the hotel. A girl walked to him and whispered, "The princess said, the thing is fake."
Roger glanced at her, said nothing, turned around and returned to the room.
Gregor was waiting anxiously inside, and Roger walked in.
"Mr. Roger, how about it?" Gregor asked.
Roger said, "The heavenly key in Francesco's hand is also fake. It seems that the heavenly key is really in the hands of the seven governors. Also, this is an image of the real heavenly key drawn by the princess based on memory."
Gregor took it.
"Will we visit the governors next?" Gregor said.
"Wait for them to come, are there anyone around these governors responsible for surveillance?" Roger asked.
Gregor scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I don't know this either, butler Locke may know."
"Then call Housekeeper Locke over."
Gregor immediately called Locke over. After listening to Roger's question, Locke fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Locke said, "In fact, since Francisco took over the regime, in order to ensure his rule was solid, he had taken measures to prevent the governors from rebelling. He married eight maids he had trained to eight governors as wives."
"Will those governors' wives come for this report?" Roger said.
Locke nodded and said, "It will definitely come. With them on the side, it will be difficult for you to get close to the Governor."
Grego was suddenly a little depressed.
When Locke saw him, he sighed quietly.
Locke said, "Your Majesty, there is actually no way."
"What's the solution?" Grego asked hurriedly, just like a person who fell into the water, grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Among the four governors who supported your father, two of them were young and intelligent at that time, and were called the double walls of the Empire. These two men were named governors by His Majesty the Emperor at a young age. They were famous at that time. After Francesco stole the regime, even people like Francesco would not dare to attack them."
After a pause, Locke continued, "These two people are still governors in their own territory. The two are actually the most loyal royalists. Of course, only a few people know that on the contrary, they not only took the maid whom Francisco married them, but also expressed allegiance to Francisco. Francisco has trusted them more frequently over the years. The key thing I want to say is that these two people have successfully turned their wives into their own use!"
