It was almost evening when Fisher returned to his rental house in a carriage. He didn't see Trundle at the door, so he took out his key and opened the door and entered the room. Sure enough, he saw the man in a suit in the living room.
, Trundle with blond hair and a long back.
It's been a while since I last saw him, and he has some stubble on his face, but his face is no longer as weak as before, and the young man's original complexion has been restored.
During this time, the incident with the New Party dragged her out of the abyss in the Pink Pavilion...for a while.
Ms. Martha came out of the kitchen tremblingly. When she saw Fisher, she happily came over and hugged him and said,
"Thank you, Mother Goddess. I heard before that Saint-Nali University was attacked by a cult. I was very worried about you. I originally wanted to call your office, but it was too troublesome to transfer the call..."
"I have nothing to do...Did you make dinner? I smell fried fish."
"Ha, I know you like to eat this. I've prepared a portion for you and your friends. You can take it up and enjoy it later."
Martha glanced at Trundle sitting on the sofa, and he also smiled at Martha.
After waiting in the living room for a while, two plates of fragrant fried fish were ready. Fisher was holding the two fish, and Trundle followed Fisher upstairs with a bottle of black mamba.
his room.
"I have heard about the attack on Saint-Nari University before. Those damn cultists are really crazy. They dare to offend both Shivali and Neli at the same time. I think they are tired of living...
"
Trundle said angrily. Fisher did not tell the truth behind the incident, but just took the fish and entered the room with him. When Fisher handed out knives and forks to him, he took two with a smile.
The goblet came over and he even poured red wine for Fisher.
Watching the black wine swaying in the glass, Fisher glanced at him and cut the fried fish into pieces.
"Why do you have time to come see me today?"
Trundle placed the poured wine glass in front of Fisher, then rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"Aren't you worried about your safety? My friend was attacked and I can't ask questions? Come on, have a drink."
"If you were just worried about my safety and just made a phone call, you came all the way here and brought drinks. Either you have something to ask me or you are in trouble and need my help... Otherwise you would have gone to this wonderful time long ago.
You're wasting your little energy in the Pink Pavilion."
Fisher pointed at the sweat on his forehead with a fork. Seeing that he didn't even have time to clean up his stubble, he knew that he must have been having a hard time recently.
Trundle felt uncomfortable as soon as he heard the words "Pink Pavilion", as if he had eaten a fly. He paused for a long time before answering.
"Forget about the Pink Pavilion... It has been in the spotlight recently. I don't know who leaked the consumption records of New Party officials who went to the Pink Pavilion. The Pink Pavilion itself should not have kept any records, and they would have destroyed them after the transaction..."
"Is this impossible? They also have to reconcile their own accounts and sort out their income. Maybe someone inside accidentally said too much, or revealed it inadvertently?"
"Don't tell me, if this is the case, how can the Pink Hall continue to operate? Unless someone else is paying special attention and wants to target our new party..."
Fisher was eating the fish, tapping his fingers on the table, and then asked,
"So who do you suspect leaked it?"
"I suspect it's the Griffin Party! Those bastards often go to the Pink Pavilion. We even took photos of them going to the Pink Pavilion to use as evidence, but we didn't expect them to dare to bite us back!"
After hearing this, Fisher shook his head. He felt that it was unlikely that the evidence was obtained by the Griffin Party on their own initiative. It was not very reasonable from any point of view.
People from the Griffin Party and the New Party both spend money in the Pink Pavilion. If the Griffin Party can get information from third-party channels, there is no reason that the New Party can't.
Unless there is a hidden connection between the Griffin Party and the Pink Hall...
Or did someone take the initiative to disclose the evidence of the New Party's consumption to the Griffin Party?
"So, since you have photos of the Griffin Party going to the Pink Pavilion, you put them on the parliament and show them to the royal family or the president of the parliament, and then the dog bites the dog on both sides. Isn't this a common trick played by the parliament?"
Fisher took a sip of red wine and said sarcastically,
"What does that sentence mean, 'Even if I make a mistake, I have to drag another child into the water who made a mistake with me.' It's a method that the children in the Sainte-Legis Nursery like. You two gangs are still using it to this day.
playing."
Of course Trundle knew what his family's situation was like, so he didn't refute at all. Instead, he shouted,
"Here's the problem... It's not about the Griffin Party and the New Party now. Prince Dexter in the Golden Palace did not show martial ethics and ended up going astray. He shamelessly asked for the establishment of some review committee. We lost the gold.
With the support of the palace, this is like two against one! Although there may not be any problems in this mid-term election, but what happens after that? In the subsequent general elections and the subsequent legislation, the problems will become bigger!"
Fisher drank wine, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes moved slightly.
The problem now is that Prince Dexter has long had the idea of attacking the new party, and he just took this opportunity to unite with the Griffin Party to beat them up. If any problems are found in this review activity led by the Golden Palace, this handle
It's like a sword hanging over the head of the new party.
When to use it and how to use it, it is the Golden Palace that has the final say, and this is something that the new party cannot tolerate. Originally, the three parties were well separated, but the other two groups suddenly united to beat themselves up and even scratched their own heads.
Save the handle for later use?
Your Golden Palace knows about it, but does the Griffin Party know about it? Who told you two to wear a pair of trousers now?
Fisher suddenly understood something, put down the wine glass gently, and then cut the fish.
"I understand, so you are trying your best to avoid the possible fatal consequences of this Golden Palace review?"
"...Haha, that's right."
Trundle touched his head and took a bite of the fish, but Fisher ignored him and continued his guess,
"This review of the New Party seems to be impeccable, and the New Party will definitely be punished. But in fact, it is not the case. The leader of your New Party and the funders behind it must have discovered a problem."
"This review is led by the Golden Palace, in other words, it is led by the royal family. From the outside, there is basically no way to alleviate it, but in fact, you all know that there is a hidden card that can be played..."
There was more and more sweat on Trundle's head, and his face looked more and more guilty.
"There are not many ministers that the royal family can send to review. The only ones who can help are those who are retired but not dead. Third parties who are loyal to the royal family are particularly suitable, and it is not only Prince Dexter who can influence their decisions.
There is another one...Her Highness Princess Yoon Lisa Bai."
Seeing that he could no longer hide anything from Fisher, Trundle had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
"Spare me, Professor... Even if we don't have any big problems, do you think Prince Dexter won't ask those ministers to find out the problem? He just wants a weapon to threaten the new party!"
"No one in the new party will tolerate the royal family throwing a bomb that may explode at any time under their pillows. This is already the approach with the least loss for us. If there is no other way, we can only choose to fight with the Griffin Party
, the royal family is at a loss..."
Fisher looked at him and asked,
"So this is the intention of your party leader to send you here to find me and ask me to contact His Highness Yin Lisabai?"
Trundle poured a glass of wine, apparently acquiescing,
"...Who in Nali doesn't know about your relationship with His Highness Yin Lisabai? You are a free man who does not take any side. Even if you and His Highness Yin Lisabai see each other all day long, no one will suspect...and
, you still have one of His Highness Elizabeth Yin's 'Universal Requests' that you haven't used yet, right?"
"Do you think I will help the new party?"
Fisher stared at Trundle, who shook his head. His face was quite drunk, but he still explained very clearly,
"This is not only helping the new party, but also helping His Highness Yin Lisabai..."
"Although Your Highness Yin Lisabai is not involved in political affairs, she has influence on many veterans... You know, it is impossible for her to succeed to the throne and become the king. We all need each other... She helped us this time,
Waiting for Prince Dexter to succeed to the throne, we will protect her freedom politically, and you don’t want her to marry other men, right?”
"Of course, if you can marry Her Majesty Yin Lisabeth before His Majesty the King dies, just pretend that I haven't come to see you... But Your Majesty doesn't have much time left. Even if you decide to marry Yin Lisabeth tomorrow, you don't know if you can
I can’t wait until the wedding date stipulated by the royal family..."
The wedding dates of the royal family are very particular. You can get married four months a year, but not on other days.
There are still about two months until today's nearest royal wedding day. At that time, it is possible that Prince Dexter will turn his back on him if he succeeds to the throne.
As for why Yin Lisabai has no possibility of succeeding to the throne, it has to go back to the old rules of the Nali royal family.
The king of Nali must not be succeeded by a woman. This is a very ancient iron rule, unless all the sons of the previous king are dead. And Elizabeth Yin also has three brothers, so it is impossible for her to succeed, let alone
She has no intention of succeeding to the throne.
So to this day, no queen has been born in Nali.
The current situation is just as Trundle analyzed, the new party faces the risk of examining fatal evidence, and Elizabeth Yin is also faced with the danger of being targeted by her brother after the death of the old king.
But specifically, the New Party should be asking for Yin Lisabai, because so far, the relationship between the prince and princess is all just speculation.
No one knows whether Dexter wants to liquidate Yin Lisabai. After all, Dexter is the brother who is related to Yin Lisabai by blood. Maybe he just wants to take back Yin Lisabai’s military power. As for her and Yin Lisabai
It was up to them to decide on Sabel's marriage.
Anyway, Fisher has never heard Elizabeth Yin talk about her brother's bad things to him, and the relationship between them can only be guessed based on the king's appointment of power.
For Fisher, he could help or not, because in fact, Lisa Bai had nothing to lose.
If her relationship with her brother is not good, then the New Party is the political guarantee for her freedom; if she has a good relationship with her brother, helping the New Party will not make her suffer...
Thinking of this, Fisher suddenly asked Trundle.
"Trundle, tell me what is your purpose of becoming a member of Parliament?"
Trundle was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied,
"Um, make money, drink fine wine, smoke cigarettes, sleep with ladies... and also work for the welfare of the people of Nali?"
This sentence made Fisher laugh. He shook his head and commented,
"If he is a member of the Griffin Party, he will say that it is to defend the glory of the Narli royal family..."
"Hahahaha, you remind me of Principal Damian."
Fisher clinked glasses with Trundle and made a joke.
Neither the New Party nor the Griffin Party are good birds. If you insist on comparing them, the New Party will at least do something for the people while doing bad things, but it will only do "some".
"The First Clan"
In fact, at this point in his words, Fisher has already expressed his willingness to help, because in fact the New Party does not need him to make a decision. The person who really makes the decision whether to help is Lisa Yin.
He only needs to pass on the new party's wishes to Yin Lisabai as a third-party free person. As for the final result, he respects whatever choice Yin Lisabai makes.
"So, your party leader... or party whip, whoever it is, must have asked you to promise me some conditions in order to please me, right?"
Fisher stood up, poured the fried fish bones into the trash can in the room, and scraped the sauce on them with a fork, Fisher asked.
"Yes, yes..."
Trundle rubbed his hands and said, "How about inviting you to participate in the drafting of the next education law decided by the parliament? By then, the entire education world will know your name Fisher Benavidez!"
Fisher paused slightly in scraping the plate, then glanced at him speechlessly, walked to his side, pushed him out of the door, as if seeing off a guest,
"No, see you next time, thank you for the wine."
"Don't, don't! Dad, grandpa, I was wrong!"
Trundle struggled and grabbed the door handle, refusing to let Fisher open the door to see the guest away. Then he smiled and spoke to Fisher with a mean look,
"This is the condition set by the leader of our party. You see, he doesn't know you as well as I do, right? So I have prepared another condition for you, which is related to your favorite demi-human!"
"Do you think I like demi-humans the most?"
Fisher sternly refused Trundle's slander, but still put his hand down on the door handle, as if gesturing for him to continue.
Trundle smiled and said,
"That's right, this is a secret that no one else knows... Not long ago, a mysterious man sent a letter to the Golden Palace. There was no sender, so the letter flew directly to the Golden Palace.
Next to Prince Dexter’s desk, magical, right? The royal family has not yet been able to trace who sent this letter.”
"But the general content of the letter is to celebrate someone's 34th birthday! Prince Dexter will be 34 years old this year, and guess what the signature of that letter is?"
Fisher frowned, as if a certain train of thought was echoing in his mind. Trundle knew he was thinking, so he went on excitedly,
"It says, 'Sender: Son of the Sea'! That's a demi-human from the ocean, and he's actually related to Prince Dexter!"
