Nutritional Agent's soft whisper showed that he still believed that the imperial government would not maliciously target the nobles without concealing it.
There must be a good reason for such blatant disregard of fiefdom laws.
However, Qu Jianlei was not so confident about the government's appearance.
He shook his head, "I don't think so. Is there any channel through which I can get the news as soon as possible?"
Neither of them had any intention of going out to inquire about the news. They had not left the fiefdom since they called Qingyuan Star.
It may not be unsafe to go out now, but it will ruin the character and make it seem like they are afraid of something.
Nutrients replied casually, "Then let the housekeeper inquire about the news. The two families have a normal relationship, but the nobles have an emergency communication mechanism."
Sure enough, after a while, the housekeeper hurried over.
"I have met all distinguished guests. The Marquis of Cicero seems to have encountered an old grudge. The specific situation is still being understood."
"Old grudges?" Mrs. Jia, who came after hearing the news, said she didn't understand. "Can't even the Cicero family use the fiefdom law to fight back?"
The housekeeper replied respectfully, "We are working hard to find out, and the military has blocked relevant information."
"This empire is really getting worse and worse!" Suddenly, paranoia broke out.
“Do personal grudges really have to be bigger than the law?”
When he said this, he was not just complaining about the injustice of the Cicero family, what he valued was that the fiefdom law had been trampled upon by powerful forces.
Qu Jianlei and others are not superstitious about the protection of the law, but it is always better to have an extra layer of protection.
"Let's take a look at the situation first," Mu Yu said calmly.
Later that day, news came that, as expected, the Marquis Cicero's fief was forcibly occupied.
However, the other party did not just occupy it regardless of the situation, but signed a rental contract.
"Then you can't buy and sell by force, right?" Mu Yu said that she didn't understand.
Later, more news came that the person who took action was indeed someone from the military who had a personal grudge against the Cicero family.
"Keep asking," Qu Jianlei lost interest. The laws of the empire are in the face of power... Haha, it's really ridiculous.
It wasn't until the next day that the housekeeper got the complete news.
To put it simply, it was a new Supreme Commander named Si Xi from the military who insisted on renting that fiefdom.
This kind of operation is too targeted, but everyone knows that New Supreme has expressed that he has deep grudges with the Cicero family.
When Si Xi came to Qingyuan Planet, he was entrusted by the Imperial Military Headquarters to serve as the boss of the military police of the planet.
Strictly speaking, he himself is not a pure soldier, but a member of the military stationed by the imperial supervisory system.
After Si Xi arrived, he openly declared that he did not plan to live in the military area because it would affect his work.
The military certainly welcomes his choice - the further away you are, the less you know about us!
Then Si Xi took out a bet, proving that the Cicero family had lost the fifty-year right to use the fiefdom.
The Cicero family firmly refused to admit the authenticity of the bet, saying it was a forgery.
In the end, the military came forward to help Si Xi make the decision and forcibly entered the Cicero family's fiefdom.
The story is roughly like this. Although some details are doubtful, if you are not a person involved, you can't tell more.
Qu Jianlei and the others didn't think it was just such a simple reason.
The cause and effect of this incident are unclear, and there is definitely more than one company involved in illegal operations.
However, what does this have to do with everyone? The masters are silent, and the people who are eating melons must have the consciousness to watch the game without saying a word.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind didn't stop. Two days later, someone came to the Gustin family's fief for help.
The person who came to ask for help was an earl, and he was also one of the allies recommended by the Gustin family's Supreme Odway when he came back a while ago.
This ally asked to see Qu Jianlei and others, saying that he had also been approached by the Cicero family and could not refuse.
Qu Jianlei directly expressed his absence.
If it was Odawa who begged for mercy, he might still hesitate. Now you are a friend of a friend. Who gave you the courage?
Anyway, he is not afraid of offending others - if you act so recklessly, you are basically offending me, okay?
As expected, the other party really didn't dare to be angry. He just said that the Cicero family was very wronged and he couldn't refuse the favor.
After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he shook his head in disapproval - Unjust? There are many people who have been wronged in the world.
Taking his team as an example, how many people are there in total who have never been wronged?
However, the housekeeper did find out some information around the corner. This Si Xi Supreme...may also be from a noble family!
This person's ancestors initially had good relations with the Cicero family, but later had to move away from home and voluntarily gave up their aristocratic status.
As you can imagine, this hatred is really not ordinary, and it is normal to insist on revenge.
However, this is still a rumor without any solid evidence.
For Qu Jianlei, even if there is conclusive evidence, he is too lazy to ask, let alone this kind of street news?
The steward finally said, "The strength of the Cicero family is not bad, but the opponent may not be that strong... mainly because of the powerful platform."
Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, "For people to choose that kind of platform is a kind of strength in itself, isn't it?"
However, despite saying this, he still let Xiao Hu quietly understand the current strength of the Cicero family.
The intelligence collected shows that the strength of this family is slightly inferior to that of Stephen's family.
As time went by, the history of the feud between the two families was also exposed.
Although it is still the case that the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right, it is certain that there are certain problems in both families' affairs.
However, Qu Jianlei and the others only understood it to this extent and did not pay any more attention to it - this was just an unexpected incident.
However, they really didn't expect that this matter would go round and round and eventually affect them.
Si Xi's ancestors were indeed nobles, but they just came to Qingyuan Planet and were deprived of their fiefdom because of their mistakes...
He did have conflicts with the Cicero family, but his ancestor was just a minor viscount, and the Marquis would not remember this enemy at all.
Well, there is no need to mention the past. The reason why he achieved the highest level of achievement was because he met the legendary noble man.
This time Si Xi came to Qingyuan Star, intending to go all out and start a big fight. Although the Cicero family had a feud, it was just an appetizer.
However, he also knew how sensitive Qingyuan was in the empire as he was known as the Fortune Star.
It was easy to deal with the Cicero family because he had already thought of a plan and knew how many cards the Cicero family had.
Therefore, he took the warship to suppress the situation and was not afraid at all that the other party would make any noise.
What happened was just as he thought. The other party argued for a while and finally had to give in.
"Qingyuan Star is nothing more than that!" Si Xi was a little complacent at this moment.
He is a handsome middle-aged man, but now his face is slightly distorted and looks a bit ferocious.
Next to him was a supreme commander in military uniform, "That must be under the command of Sir Si Xi."
This person is the deputy commander of the Qingyuan Military Region, and is higher than the other party regardless of age or seniority.
But there is no way, who knows that the boss of the 87th Army Group is standing behind Si Xi?
Because of this relationship, Si Xi directly mobilized military warships to support himself.
The Eighty-seventh Army ranks among the seven ace armies of the Empire and is known as the cradle of the Empire's marshals.
Moreover, Si Xi himself served as the boss of the gendarmerie and was responsible for correcting military discipline, but it was not a purely military position.
The military doesn't want to provoke such people, so it might as well just coax them away.
However, Si Xi Zhigao still had to put on a humble appearance.
"Thank you for your praise, sir. It's also thanks to the strong support of my comrades in the military. Otherwise, I would be unable to do anything alone."
The deputy commander would not think that this guy is really humble. After these days of contact, he has figured out the other person's character.
Just listen to the polite words people say. If you really feel that you have worked hard, you may not know how you died if you look back!
So he smiled and said, "Qingyuan is sluggish and it's time to straighten things out. It's just the right time for you to show off your talents."
"I will forge ahead with determination!" Si Xi said without hesitation, "I hope my seniors can give me more guidance!"
If he truly regarded the other party as a senior, he wouldn't appear so high-spirited - at least he would ask for various precautions first.
However, Si Xi came with an antenna, and in his heart he didn't like these local sticks.
He carries a capable team with him and has the military to support him at any time, so he is not worried about immediate losses.
As for encountering a super powerful force? Then you have to encounter it to know who is more powerful!
Moreover, he is backed by a powerful military faction. No matter how powerful he is, he has to consider the military background behind him.
The power of the Cicero family is not small. Putting aside the military background, Si Xi will never be able to easily suppress his opponents.
But with this layer of background bonus, no matter how big he is, he dares to touch it.
The deputy commander nodded upon hearing this, "Everyone is doing this for the empire, Sir Si Xi, you don't have to be so polite."
Si Xi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll thank you senior first. I wonder if there are any other shortcomings in Qingyuan Star that can be investigated now?"
Are you...too anxious? The deputy commander was a little dumbfounded.
However, although he doesn't like this attitude of eager for quick success, he doesn't want the other party to make a fool of himself.
——After all, if something goes wrong, others will laugh at the entire military.
So he warned carefully.
"We have just finished dealing with Cicero's matter, and the reactions from all parties have not been fully reflected yet. How about...waiting first?"
Si Xi was startled when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, "Since senior said to wait a moment, then I will be steady."
"But what kind of reaction will they have? Senior, please give me a rough idea so that I can be prepared!"
"I really can't guess this!" The deputy commander shook his head and spoke seriously.
"Sir, you just came here and have already done such a big thing. You have to wait and see who jumps out first."
Hearing this, Si Xi gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a senior, these words are mature and prudent, I understand them!"
The deputy commander tried his best to smile and said to himself: This guy is really crazy. He really treats me as a senior. How would you comment in this tone?
What Si Xi was thinking in his heart was: Although you are incompetent, but for the sake of your sincerity, I will let you go.
