Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 187 Indecision

"I have to say, little Purficott, you handled things very beautifully this time." Princess Anne looked at Purficott, who was still calm and quiet, and couldn't help but praise her.

Although Princess Anne rushed over as soon as she learned what happened, when she arrived at the Democratic Parliament Square, the trustees arranged by those behind the scenes had already been hung on the street lamps, and Easter... Wood had also been sent away by the patrol, and even the people in the square had mostly dispersed.

She could only find Perficott drinking tea in a lounge of the elected parliament building to praise her.

Purficott didn't care about this, and just put down the black tea cup in his hand and said: "This is just some unscrupulous and dirty tricks. Although I stopped the situation in time and did not let it worsen, I had to It is said that once this kind of thing happens, it will have a very bad impact.

Although I have prevented public opinion from turning to the most unfavorable situation by trying those who spread rumors, there will still be some people who believe the rumors they spread, and even think that I execute those who spread rumors to suppress those who tell the truth. .

Therefore, the follow-up processing must be fast. The empire must find out those behind the scenes and deal with them to eliminate all possible negative effects. "

"Would this be too risky? The evidence collected is not sufficient." Princess Anne also wanted to handle the matter more safely.

These days, she has conducted investigations through the power she has and has indeed collected some relevant evidence. However, it is still difficult to use this to arrest those behind the scenes. She hopes to be able to arrest those people with more certainty. Bring him to justice.

However, Purficott shook his head and said: "Urgent times should use extraordinary means. We only have two years left. Aunt Anne, do you think the empire has time to waste now?"

When Purficott asked this question, Princess Anne was speechless.

As a king, how can you be indecisive and hesitant at critical moments? "

At this point, Purficott felt that her words were too harsh. She hesitated and then added: "If you really can't make up your mind or are unwilling to do it, let me do it. "

But if Princess Anne really couldn't support her, Purficott wouldn't mind doing it all by himself.

Seemingly aware of Princess Anne's attitude, Purficott advised her: "Aunt Anne, I hope you can adjust your mentality. We are fighting an invisible war now, and everything must be in accordance with the war. If you continue to be indecisive, I can only wonder if the Queen has neglected your character education in your training.

Although at first it was hoped that Princess Anne would handle this matter, and then establish her own prestige and reputation, paving the way for her future succession to the throne.

But just like this...Perfect sighed inwardly, wasn't this forcing her to become a powerful minister? She doesn't want to be ranked alongside Cao Cao, Yuan Shikai and the like!

There are two completely different effects when Princess Anne does something and when she does it.

However, now that the matter has come to this, Purficott will not be as hesitant as Princess Anne.

"No, little Purficott, please don't interfere in this matter. Give me some time. I'll go back and discuss it with my mother." Princess Anne stopped Purficott, and then explained as if she was afraid of disappointing her: "The main reason is that there are too many nobles involved behind this. If they are all dealt with at once, the situation in the empire will be unstable. The reason why I want to collect sufficient evidence is because of this. If I can use sufficient Evidence to prove their crimes and bring them all to justice will minimize the impact on the current situation of the empire and avoid social unrest..."

"If there is no doomsday crisis, Aunt Anne is right to do this." Purficott listened to Princess Anne's explanation, but she shook her head: "Under normal circumstances, it is blameless for you to do this. The safest and most upright approach.

But I have already said that what we are facing now is a war without smoke, and everything must be decisive, because we have no time to waste.

If you cannot cut off all the mess in the shortest possible time, then these masterminds will inevitably incite greater turmoil in society!

Sometimes we can't do everything perfectly. In many cases, we can only choose the lesser of two evils, choosing the less bad outcome from two bad outcomes. "

Purficott's words once again silenced Princess Anne. She didn't say anything in the end, but said she needed to discuss it with the Queen.

"Okay, but as soon as possible, we really don't have time to take it slow." Purficott did not continue to force Princess Anne, but just shook his head and left the elected parliament building.

After walking out of the building, her Steam Knights surrounded her, and Ezio, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared next to her and asked her again: "You really don't need me to help you get rid of those people." Did you drop them? The assassins of the Brotherhood are very experienced in this kind of thing and can completely disguise them as accidental deaths."

"If they die unexpectedly, they will not be able to get their property." Perficott still shook his head and rejected Ezio's proposal: "Developing the northern border and dealing with the doomsday crisis will require a huge amount of money and resources. These nobles But if you kill them directly with the money bag I prepared for the northern development plan, all the money will be taken away by their heirs."

Hearing what Perficott said, Ezio couldn't help but sigh. Compared with Perficott, he was still too kind.

"Well, we don't need to pay too much attention to this matter for the time being. Although Aunt Anne hasn't made up her mind yet, the Queen will tell her what to do at this time." Purficott is still very confident in the Queen. A queen for decades, her skills and character are far beyond those of Princess Anne.

So she quickly changed the subject to another matter.

Purficott asked Ezio: "Does the Assassin Brotherhood have intelligence networks in other countries in the old world?"

"There are some, but they are not as comprehensive as Victoria. You can get some information, but it is more difficult to understand certain specific information in detail." Ezio didn't know why, but still answered Purficott's question.

Purficott nodded, and then said: "Ask the people from the Brotherhood to help find out whether other countries have discovered the doomsday crisis. I always feel that there is a deeper reason behind the three countries' declaration of war against the empire... …”

Just as Purficott and Ezio were talking, a man suddenly rushed out from the roadside. He bypassed the Steam Knight's blockage at a weird angle and threw a ball that seemed to be lit at Purficott. unknown object.
