In fact, under normal circumstances, Marin does not need to silence the sacrificial snatch. Even if he snatched more wealth, he would not block the news. The main reason is that Marin helped the Holy See attack on Siena this time, not for money, but for accumulating contributions to the Holy See, and then seeks to obtain the Holy See's authorization to reward the colonization of America.
Therefore, this time, not only will the Holy See besides the Holy See besides the impact. If the too much money you grab affects your reputation and causes jealousy from all countries, and the Holy See be rewarded with colonial rights in the Americas, other countries will be dissatisfied.
But the money I snatched this time was too much, and Marin was really unwilling to return it. But if it didn't return it, it would definitely be hated by the whole of Europe. Therefore, Marin decided to block the news. The best way to block the news is to let the insiders die.
However, after several days, Marin's spies were sold with a short sword of "the same style as the assassination of Caesar". It's right to think about it. These old men who are the heads of the family are all human beings, how could they take risks easily?
So, Marin changed his strategy - no longer invited the heads of their hometown, but invited their sons to the banquet. Young people were very angry and were more likely to take the bait.
In order to further stimulate the heirs of these family heads, Marin deliberately sent his soldiers to disguise themselves as undisciplined soldiers, seized the opportunity of these family heirs to take their wives out, teasing their wives in front of the young family heirs. Some of them were despicable, and they even tore off the other party's wife's clothes in public, touched them randomly, and many people touched them together... After the touch, these "rebellious soldiers" would also praise Marin in Italian, obviously for Marin to "hit hatred" and lure the group of young men into anger...
Of course, these are all done by avoiding the cunning old men of the family. If they do these in front of those old men, they may be seen through. Once the other party endures it, there will be no way out.
Sure enough, the heirs of the two families were so aroused by the behavior of "rebellious soldiers" that they lost their minds and quietly bought the short sword "the same style as the assassination of Caesar".
What these two heirs didn't know was that after they bought the "same style assassination of Caesar", the vendor who sold the short sword to theirs quickly closed the stall and went back to report the news.
After Marin learned that two people had purchased the short sword "the same style as the assassination of Caesar", he also knew that the opportunity had come. Then, a new invitation was sent...
...
A few days later, there were many tables in front of the Municipal Hall of the Municipal Plaza, and it was obvious that there were flowing tables. In the square, Marin sent people to set up a cordon to prevent civilians from approaching. However, Marin did not block the main road, and many civilians could still see the situation at the entrance of the Municipal Hall from a certain distance.
Of course, no one would be greedy for the banquet. Because, this time, Marin captured the city of Siena, only let his soldiers loot the city's large households. Moreover, he only robbed money and not food. Therefore, no one in the city was hungry. However, the people in the city were still very interested in such a noble banquet held in the open air, and many people came to watch from afar.
Marin wore a rhinoceros vest and a silk robe on the outside. In addition, there was a short sword hidden on the waist of the rhinoceros vest to deal with the unexpected situation. He knew how Caesar died. Caesar was stabbed to death by a group of old men from the Senate without weapons and had no ability to fight back. If he had brought weapons, how could those old men from the Senate succeed? Hey... it wasn't right. Caesar seemed to be 58 years old at that time, so he was considered an old man... It turned out that a group of geniuses were pecking at each other...
...
It was almost noon that more than a dozen young family heirs finally arrived one after another. At the entrance of the square, they untied their swords and handed them over to the soldiers for safekeeping.
At this time, Alessandro and Crisetti, who had been targeted by Marin's spies, privately purchased the short sword "the same style as the assassination of Caesar" and were very nervous, afraid that the soldiers would search for their bodies. Because, in their boots, they had privately hidden short sword "the same style as the assassination of Caesar".
However, to their surprise, the guards did not search carefully, but let them go after touching their waists, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, what they did not notice was that even if they hid a short sword in their leather boots, it was also a hint of a spy sent by Marin. Because when buying the short sword that "assassinated the same style as Caesar", the spy who sold them to demonstrated the method of hiding a short sword in their leather boots. Today, they indeed successfully "get away from the clue" with this move.
But what the two of them didn't know was that when they entered the banquet area, someone secretly pointed them to Marin. And Marin often glanced over the two of them inadvertently and quietly raised his vigilance...
The reason why Malin was to be careful of the two was because he was afraid that they would push them to his neck. After all, he was wearing rhinoceros leather armor, but his neck was not protected. Therefore, he needed to be careful of the two attacking his neck and head.
...
Soon, the banquet finally began. Marin raised his wine glass, filled with "royal salutes", and talked with more than a dozen young family heirs, and clinked glasses with each other from time to time. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely harmonious...
As he drank, Malin seemed to be a little drunk and confused...
In fact, he deliberately pretended to be a little confused. Why? If he didn't do this, the other party might not dare to take action!
Marin is a real German knight. Although his personal martial arts are average, he is not comparable to the playboys from more than a dozen commercial families present.
Although Siena was also an important state of the Holy Roman Empire, many families were also granted aristocrats. For example, in these dozen families, seven or eight were baron families that were enthroned by the emperor in their early years. The other families were the noble families that were enthroned by the Siena Republic after its independence (there were also nobles in the medieval Italian republic. Some were old aristocrats, and some had their own aristocrats after they became rich).
But no matter what, because these dozen families are very rich, they have basically obtained the status of hereditary nobles. Therefore, Marin cannot kill their families casually. If it were a family of civilian businessmen, Marin would have done it long ago...
Seeing that Marin was shaking a little, Alessandro and Krissetti looked at each other quietly, then nodded and hinted to each other...
Afterwards, Marin's afterwards discovered that the two were quietly approaching him...
At this moment, a short family heir named Minero suddenly came and came to toast. While clinking glasses with the other party, Marin absent-mindedly paid attention to the direction of Alessandro and Crisetti.
Minero is a small man with a smile on his face, the heir to the Paloto family. He is short, only about 1.6 meters tall, and looks very ordinary. Moreover, this guy looks soft and has no masculinity at all. However, I heard that he married a beautiful wife named Juliet. His wife's reputation spread throughout Siena. Of course, Marin pays so much attention to his wife, mainly because his wife's name is so famous - the same name of the heroine of the world-famous drama "Romeo and Juliet"...
After Minero gave the wine, he walked behind Marin. Alessandro and Crisetti also raised their glasses and came to Marin with a fake smile on their faces...
"Dear Grand Duke Marin, my name is Alessandro, the heir to the Moria family. I have heard of your reputation and you are very foster mother. So, I will express my respect for you!" After saying that, he respectfully handed the wine glass...
Marin also gave him face and touched the wine glass with a smile on his face, then began to raise his head and take a sip...
Just as they clinked glasses, Crissetti, beside Alessandro, seemed to have something fallen to the ground, so she switched the glass to her left hand and bent down with her right hand, looking like she was picking up things...
However, when Marin began to raise his head to drink, Crisetti suddenly pulled out a dagger from his leather boots and stabbed Marin's heart...
Alessandro, who was still trying to drink, threw away his wine glass, bent down and pulled out his short sword from his leather boots, and joined the assassination ranks...
