The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 1239 Kafni's Liquidation
Annan's behavior style, even if it can't be called vigorous and decisive, at least has nothing to do with the word "sloppy".

After confirming his relationship with Cafney, Annan first stayed in Noah for a few days.

On the one hand, it is to confirm that the ceremony of the cup-bearer is running normally, and on the other hand... even with Annan's level of freedom, I feel that it is not good for me to leave Cafney and go home directly at this time.

However, Annan's presence in Noah did not hide from anyone.

So the next day, the Three-Eyed Crow knew about it.

On the same day, the old crow invited Grand Duke Annan to the crow's house for a banquet.The other nobles learned that Annan had come to Noah through this incident.

The news that the Crow's family is going to invite guests cannot be concealed - because the servants in the noble family actually have their own social circle.

They will exchange information and establish circles with each other.

Invitations, investigations, surveillance, inquiries and other actions among some nobles are also based on this circle.

In fact, many noble families don't raise too many idlers.

These great nobles who can act as agents are all followers of the Silver Lord Church.The funds they donate to the church every year, plus the taxes paid by their properties, are considered "senior believers" of the Yinjue Church.

Because of this, they are all in the heir stage and have received some systematic learning from the church.Those who can finally win in the war of succession will at least not be fools.

They knew that if some servants were allowed to be extraordinarily idle, to be used only at special times, the rest of the servants would feel unequal for it.Under the circumstance that they are used to laziness, if they really encounter a job that requires "reserve resources" to complete, it will probably be difficult for them to do well.

Therefore, unlike the United Kingdom, the nobles on Noah's side only use a small number of servants that are sufficient for daily maintenance.

Whenever someone wants to leave the company, they must first start recruiting new people, wait until the training is completed, and the job handover is completed before the resignation is approved and a large amount of severance pay based on the number of years of work is given.

And the work of banquets is obviously not in the category of "daily maintenance".Whenever nobles prepare to hold a banquet, they will find servants who are close to them and can be trusted by other nobles who rent and transfer some servants to complete the banquet.

For this reason, they will give their servants a daily salary subsidy that is several times higher than the usual work, and they will give some small gifts to the nobles who rent out the servants to show their friendly relationship.

And this amount of money is much less than hiring two or three times as many servants at home.Maybe not even a fraction.

Of course they don't lack that money, but they don't want to waste money while making things worse.

——At the same time, the work of servants is basically within the scope of what he can handle.Not too idle and not too busy, which also helps maintain their work ethic.

While these servants are servants, they are also spies sent by their masters to inquire about news.

Of course, it is not the work of secret agents such as stealing confidential documents and eavesdropping on important intelligence.

Instead, by observing the maintenance of some facilities, who the host is planning to invite to the banquet, and then see whether the heirs of the family come home during the banquet, what they said at the banquet, whether there are conflicts among the heirs, whether they Could there be some family conflict hidden...

Adding these details together, it is possible to analyze very important information.

Therefore, it is necessary to send the most clever, best memory, and best servants.In order to get the freshest and warmest first-hand news.

And these miscellaneous affairs obviously can't bother those big nobles, so the housekeepers and head maids of each family help to take care of them.

Coupled with Noah's proxy system, from a certain point of view... In the capital, the actual power and influence of an earl's housekeeper and head maid are undoubtedly greater than that of the mayors and lords in some places. Much bigger.

This level of intelligence will also be disclosed to their "allies".

But here's the thing...the Noah of today has no distinct, splinter factions.At least in the capital, at the level of "agent" there is no such thing.

So their allies will definitely have other allies.

The original news is only in order, and it will definitely spread to everyone in the end.

——As for what information each family analyzes from this news, it depends on the quality of the servants of each family and the analysis and processing of the information by their family's advisors.

In the past, Noah's power was split because of the dispute over the Inheritance War—or to put it more clearly, it was because of Prince Philip's troubles that forcibly split the country.But now, with the eldest princess voluntarily withdrawing from the core circle of power, all other heirs died, and Noah's old faction ceased to exist.

The irony is that the nobles who were still fighting fiercely and dripping with blood a year ago can now sit together with a smile and chat happily about some family affairs.

Because of this, all Noah's nobles learned that Grand Duke Annan was going to visit the Crow's house, and at the same time they learned that their little queen would also go with him.

Other nobles thought this was quite normal - after all, the top controller of the intelligence department and the secret service department directly invited the top leaders of other countries to dinner at their home.

When no one can monitor the crow's house, it is normal for the queen to monitor it herself.

At first, they did suspect that the queen was a puppet of Duke Winter.

But they soon "gradually" knew what great things the Grand Duke had done.

He is already a certain god.

In terms of status, it is even comparable to the twelve righteous gods.At this point, Annan is no longer as simple as "the supreme leader of a neighboring country"... because it is impossible for anyone to dare to be hostile to a real god.

Even false gods, or even evil gods, are definitely not something they can provoke.Not to mention Annan whose status is at least above god.

If they can lick Annan, they would rather give up power directly and move the whole family to Lindong, it doesn't matter!
They even hoped that their little queen would have a better relationship with Annan.

However, what Kafni did made them worry about what she was going to do instead.

It's not that she has any problems with handling government affairs...

Objectively speaking, Cafney's handling of government affairs is simply perfect.If not everyone knows that Kafni is the real "dictatorial tyrant", I am afraid that the nobles will think that Kafni has a top think tank with more than 30 people.

Her only problem is that she is too iron-blooded and too cruel-hearted.

She was nothing like an innocent 15-year-old girl.While other noble girls were still discussing pets, accessories, elegant and reliable young men and sassy ladies...

His Majesty Cafney showed a gentle and even shy smile, and said softly and slowly, dragging the Viscount and even the Earl's family out to hang him.

Corrupt bishops, nobles who exceeded their authority, and officials under them who opened the door for them... Kafni began to liquidate one by one.Those who voluntarily surrender and those who are willing to serve as witnesses to report others can be given a lighter sentence, and the crime of trying to destroy evidence and plead guilty will be added to the third grade.

Kafni was unwavering in the face of begging for mercy and intercession, and didn't even look at the exorbitant bribes given to her by the nobles; when faced with the threat of assassination, she just twisted the assassin into a rag and hung him outside .

Because of this extremely violent and direct strategy, many of Noah's stubborn illnesses were easily eradicated by Kafni.Although it also hurt some vitality, there is no doubt that many root causes have been removed.This also made Queen Cafney's reputation among the bottom officials and the public reach a peak.

——If Kafni was a puppet, she would never do such a thing, nor would she be allowed to do such a thing.

And it was the Crow family who issued the report and provided the evidence.

Their family was exceptionally promoted to duke, as the ubiquitous eyes of the queen, the crow perched on the crown, and began to initiate a reckoning for the past one by one——

Only then did people recall... the cry of the crow was exactly the sound of mourning.

The old crow's confusion has been pretending for 30 years.

Now people know how stupid he is-he sees everything and writes it all down, but he never says it.

For such a guy who can be called an old monster, even if the queen is in the same camp as him, it is normal for the queen to be wary of him.

But these nobles soon realized...they even underestimated the shrewdness and wisdom of this old crow.

When the old crow saw Archduke Annan and His Majesty Kafni, he smiled and congratulated them.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Archduke Annan in a very old voice and lightly in front of the public:
"When do you plan to marry our Majesty?"

This can be called a presumptuous remark, which almost scared everyone present.

But unexpectedly, Annan responded in a very serious way: "December [-] this year... on the holy day of the old grandmother, I will marry Kafni.

"At that time, I will also make a big announcement."
