One Hundred and Seventy-Seven, 1 Do Not Do 2 Endlessly

"Duke de Nordrien?"

Seeing this surname, Edmond Dantès frowned.

Bowang, who has been watching the words and expressions, noticed it immediately.

"You still know the Duke's family?" He was a little surprised.

However, as we all know, the Duke is an old aristocrat, and he is also a favorite of the court. He should be a die-hard royalist, right? How could it be related to the agent of the Bonaparte family?

Could it be that the Duke looks mediocre, but in fact he is wise and foolish, secretly hedging his bets?

Thinking of this, Bowang was startled.

He should stop thinking about it.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, this is an absolute taboo, and if you go to the bottom of it, you will definitely not live long.

And it has nothing to do with him.

So he quickly shut up skillfully, waiting for the opinion of the Count of Monte Cristo.

And Edmund Dantès didn't notice Bowan's abnormality, and his attention is now on the Duke's family.

He had always known that the Duke knew Tanglar, otherwise Agnes would not have brought him to meet Tanglar so easily, but he did not expect that the Duke turned out to be the big depositor behind Tanglar.

Agnes probably didn't know this, otherwise she would have told herself before introducing herself to visit Tanglar.

This is troublesome.

Obviously, if the plan is launched by itself, Tanglar Bank will soon face a concentrated run, money will become extremely tight, and its large depositors will suffer huge losses if they do not act quickly.

Of course he didn't care about the Duke himself, but how could he have the heart to let the Agnes family suffer because of him?

So we should find a way to stop it.

But how to stop it?

Visit or write a letter? This is absolutely not acceptable.

If he did this, it would be tantamount to exposing himself. Once the Count of Monte Cristo showed up, he would definitely be arrested by the Duke as a major suspect.

And how should I explain all this? It would be extremely stupid if the plan was fully informed.

So what should we do? Should the plan be temporarily suspended?

He was momentarily distraught.

"Mr. Earl, do you have any concerns?" Bowan felt that something was wrong, so he asked again.

This question made Edmond Dantès sober.

No, can't stop!

Bowang spent an untold amount of time and effort building this plan, but when things came to an end, he lightly paused, what would he think? Wouldn't it be greatly chilling? Then how could he continue to be so diligent and loyal to the Bonaparte family?

And, what would he think of himself? A useless waste who is not worth making friends with?

It's like a soldier fighting in front of the battle. He has pressed the bullet into the barrel and raised it flat to point at the enemy. Can he still put his finger off the trigger?

No way.

Edmund Dantes asked themselves, although they were very unwilling to cause trouble for Miss Agnes, but no matter what, their mission and their loyalty to His Majesty still came first.

Because His Majesty is the benefactor who saved his life and changed his destiny, no matter what, he cannot be defeated by him.

So... do it!

Even if I am sorry for Miss Agnes, I still have to do it. At worst, I will find a way to make up for it in the future.

At the last moment, he thought of a compromise idea - to discuss with the Marquis de Treville himself, and let him think of a way.

After all, the Marquis of Treville is the son and daughter of the Duke. Although the relationship between the two of them is not good, there must always be some contact information.

"I have no worries, everything is going according to plan." After making up his mind, he ordered Bowang calmly, "Mr. Bowang, you are a professional, and during this period of time, I have seen that in this field, What an outstanding talent you are... So, you don't have to worry about other things, just let it go! Your Majesty and I will see every merit of yours. Please rest assured that no one has ever said so far Your Majesty is ungrateful, and there will be no more in the future."

Bowang didn't know the thoughts that were going through the earl's mind just now, and he didn't want to study them carefully. Since the earl had agreed, he didn't have any worries.

If this plan is successfully implemented, then he will leave a thick mark on the credit book of the Bonaparte family (although this 'merit' will never be made public); The market trend is far-sighted', which will also establish a higher prestige in front of the boss and colleagues, and may even establish the position of heir in one fell swoop; in addition, if it is operated well, it may also make him a lot of money.

Why not kill three birds with one arrow?

Bowang, who is usually moody and angry, couldn't help but a sinister and cheerful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he thought of this, but it disappeared soon.

Tanglar Bank is a piece of fat fresh meat, which will soon be eaten by him in pieces.

"I understand." Bowang raised his head and looked at the count solemnly. For a moment, his thick and chubby face was a little more poetic, "I also tell you, count, I am a professional In twenty years, I have never been disappointed by a boss or client.”

After Edmond Dantès and Bowan discussed for a while, Edmund left.

However, he was not in a hurry to go home, but directly took a carriage and secretly came to visit the Marquis of Treville's mansion.

As a distinguished guest, he was naturally brought before the Marquis very quickly.

"What is your business, sir?" asked the Marquis.

"General, there is one thing that concerns your in-laws. I want to explain to you." Edmund Dantès started the conversation with such opening remarks.

Then, he explained the incident to the Marquis de Treville in every detail.

"General, I'm sorry to affect the Duke's family, but under the current circumstances, I can't stop the plan, you should be able to understand me. I know you don't have a good relationship with the Duke, but I think you should There are also news channels that can notify him in advance, or even give him a hint, it would be great if he could help the Duke's family stop losses as soon as possible."

After saying these words, he looked at the Marquis who had been listening silently.

However, what surprised him was that the Marquis's expression was very strange - there was no anger, nor nervousness, nor anxiety, but more like...

Secretly delighted.

It's not even secretly happy, but it's obvious that you can't hold back your laughter.

Then, under Edmund's astonished gaze, the Marquis de Treville actually laughed out loud.

He has always had a scheming and gloomy image in front of Edmund, but at this moment, the Marquis is unabashedly excited and proud.

"Hahaha..." Laughing loudly, the Marquis sighed, "Have I had my luck recently? Why do I always encounter good things...? Hahahaha..."

Edmund was stunned, he had never expected the Marquis to react like this.

Could it be that his resentment towards his father-in-law has reached this point? It stands to reason that it is not possible.

After laughing for a while, the Marquis de Treville finally stopped laughing slowly, and then he looked at Edmond Dantès happily.

"Count, you must think that I am very narrow-minded when I hate my in-laws so much, right? Actually, let me tell you, I don't hate him at all, I just look down on them... Their family is mediocre reptiles, just lucky enough to be right It's just a place, it's not worth my grudges."

"Then why are you so happy?" Edmund was still puzzled. "Do you think you can finally show them grace?"

"Shien? No!" The Marquis' face sank, and he flatly denied the question, "I want to be silent, and I want to see that reptile lose a fortune. Of course, this is not out of hatred for him, but out of hatred for him." Kindness..."

"Good intentions...?" Edmund was taken aback, and almost suspected that the Marquis had gone crazy.

"From a general point of view, it is really bad luck to lose a lot of money, but don't you think this is also an opportunity?" the Marquis asked back, "Their family is favored by the king, and now they are blooming with flowers, and they look down on me. They even look down on the Bonaparte family, so it is impossible for them to bow their heads and cooperate-but if they are in financial distress, the situation is completely different. The more miserable they fall, the more likely they are to bow their heads to the Bonaparte family .Isn’t this a good thing?”

Edmund thought for a while, and although this statement could be justified, it was still a bit difficult for him to agree.

"However, if Miss Agnes finds out that we are the instigators, I'm afraid she will be very angry—"

"What about anger? It's up to each other, can she blame us for anything?" The Marquis interrupted Edmund, "And, Edmund, do you think Agnes is willing to bow to Her Majesty with her character? ?”

Edmond Dantès pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Miss Agnes will definitely not be willing."

"So she needs some motivation from the family." The Marquis replied coldly. "If the Duke of Nordrien's family is in trouble, then presumably they will not object to a little favor from the Bonaparte family-to be honest, whose gold is not gold? In the face of the brilliance of gold, everything else is It's a side issue, isn't it?"

Edmund Dontes was dumbfounded.

Logically speaking, what the Marquis said was not wrong at all. The more it hurts the Duke's family, the more likely the Duke will submit to His Majesty, and it may not be impossible to encourage his daughter to flatter His Majesty and ask for rewards.

But how can I do this? They asked themselves, but they still felt that their consciences were too much to let go.

Miss Agnes was sincere and warm-hearted to him. He has always remembered that kind of unreserved kindness.

"No, we can't do that." He shook his head, "Miss Agnes shouldn't be an innocent victim."

"Edmund——" the Marquis looked at Edmund with a stern face, and then changed his address unexpectedly to shorten the distance between the two, "Do you think I really want her to be unlucky? ? No, I am as full of kindness to her as you are. In my opinion, she is a lovely junior, a shining gem. How can I bear to see her in dust?"

Having said that, he changed the subject, "But, if we watch the situation in silence, what will happen next? Your Majesty returns to France, and the die-hard royalists are either imprisoned or exiled. Don't you have the heart to face the Agnes family? Is it such a disaster? I think, instead of this, it is better to make changes as soon as possible, and find a way to make their family no longer hostile to the Bonaparte family, then they will not have to face the coming disaster."< /p>

Having said that, he turned up the volume again, and became more and more imposing, "It's like training a wolf. We beat it half to death just to prevent it from being killed! Now the harder they beat, the more they The sooner you can see the situation clearly, the more likely you are to avoid disaster! As for the monetary loss, what is it? To His Majesty, it is nothing more than an injury that can be repaired with a snap of the fingers, and it is not worth mentioning."

Edmond Dantès quietly listened to the Marquis' explanation, and suddenly he felt as if he had been persuaded.

Perhaps the Marquis had his own selfish intentions, but there was nothing flawed in his remarks.

For Miss Agnes, is the family's property loss terrible, or is it terrible to be imprisoned and exiled at that time? The answer is self-evident.

He also knew that His Majesty had always missed Miss Agnes in his heart.

Assuming that I have contributed to this matter through some means, it seems to be "loyal".

Thinking of this, his original uneasy conscience seemed to gradually disappear.

"You're right." He nodded and looked at the other party with a sincere heart, "Sorry, General, I may not have thought carefully."

"It's nothing, you just lack a little experience. After all, I live longer." The Marquis de Treville shook his head indifferently, "In fact, you can come up with such a plan in private, which has proved your ability It's unusual. I suggest you, don't do anything else, make it harder, and simply ask your agent to see what kind of investment the Duke of Nordrien's family is still making, and crack down on everything that can be hit... ...As I said before, if you want to clean up, clean it up a little bit, the more cruel we are today, the more we can have the best of both worlds, ruthless is humane!"

Because his mentality had already been shaken, Edmund Dantès didn't have much resistance in his heart when he heard the Marquis's murderous words.

He knew that what the Marquis said was right, as long as the Duke's family jumped ship, His Majesty would have plenty of ways to make up for the loss with rewards in the future, so what's the point of fighting harder now?

The general is still old-fashioned after all, and he was completely convinced that he saw through the essence so easily.

"I see, General, I'll do my best—" He nodded emphatically.

After the Count of Monte Cristo left, the excitement in the Marquis de Treville's mind still did not fade, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.

The revenge of the Treville family is always the most tenacious. He has long wanted to take revenge on his father-in-law who looked down on him, and now... he finally has the chance.

The heaven and the earth work together, although he has never heard of this oriental poem, but he can clearly feel that kind of destiny in the dark, which is watching him.

It seems that God is now on the side of the Treville family.
