Luke took Del to Qingkong's museum, and took advantage of the large number of tourists on the opening day to send people in. Qingkong arranged for Del to be a student of the Department of Occult Arts, and asked Lydia, the deputy monitor, to take care of her.

Dai'er temporarily settled down in the museum and quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the college. In the past, her studies were one-on-one teaching by palace bachelors. The large classroom was a very novel thing for her. She was surrounded by peers, and she could say no to others.

Complete whisper.

There are also mysterious and mysterious techniques that can attract curious girls.

"Jasmine, pay attention to the lecture. You have just come into contact with the secret arts. If you don't pay attention to the details, it is easy to cause secret skill accidents!" Qingkong knocked on the lecture table and warned Dai'er who was playing with the mysterious props at will in the audience.

Dai'er immediately sat up straight like other students.

Qingkong continued his lecture: "When making Moore's Survey Stone crystals, you must carefully identify the color difference changes during the reaction. The optimal value is 15 degrees to the left of the zero-degree yellow. If you are not sure to accurately control the color difference, try not to cross the 15-degree line to the left.

…”

Through Qingkong's eyes, Luke felt relieved when he saw that Del had integrated into the class.

By this time Luke had sneaked back to 236 Copper Mulberry Avenue.

Although he was able to obtain information about the Imperial Capital through various channels when he was in Xiacheng District, it was not comprehensive after all. Now that he is back, he is faced with stacks of intelligence from various parties, as well as documents sent by Nutao City that need to be reviewed and approved.

There is still no news about the missing Princess Del. In the undercurrent of the imperial capital, important things happen every hour. Princess Agatha, who wanted to break the situation with chaos, arrested many people. She not only investigated Tedga Hills but

Relevant people and industries also extended the scope of investigation to imperial ministers and the royal family.

Those under investigation were not to be outdone.

One after another, political proposals to impeach Agatha were sent to Emperor Augustine. The most significant of them was the "unanimous" request by the eldest prince and the second prince to revoke Agatha from all positions and accept "

Investigation into many accusations such as abuse of power.

The response of the Secret Intelligence Service is still rigid, and a lot of corruption, economic and criminal crimes are looming on the table.

The eldest princess stirred up the political arena of the empire and seemed to want to fight to the death. She left the choice to Emperor Augustine... whether to step in to calm the situation or let the situation get completely out of control.

However, there is still no clear information revealed in the palace. The emperor wants to see how ugly his subjects and children can show themselves.

Luke was glad that he came back in time.

From now on every second, no matter what happens, it will not be surprising.

Under the current situation, various forces in the imperial court have gradually reached a tacit agreement on overthrowing the eldest princess. Once the eldest princess falls, the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau she runs becomes a cake without an owner. For the two princes

For example, whoever can replace Agatha in the Secret Service will be sitting on the throne with half his butt.

Not to mention the Raging Waves City in Agatha's hands... Of course, this is something that Emperor Augustine is determined to get, but His Majesty can't manage it himself, right?

But Agatha's troubles in the imperial capital still kept Emperor Augustine calm, and it was also because of the existence of Raging Wave City.

This city is so important that a single move can affect the whole body. Unless absolutely necessary, this city must not be allowed to have major turmoil.

As for the palace that seems to be the solution to this imperial capital whirlwind, it is actually located at 236 Tongmulberry Avenue.

Everyone knows that everyone is waiting for Inspector Meteor's statement.

"Chief Inspector, Chief Inspector..." Kylena, who was reporting in the study, softly called Luke, who was thinking about the situation.

"Yeah." Luke said after coming back to his senses: "I'm listening, you continue."

"The eldest prince and the second prince have secretly sent people here. They all want to have a private meeting with you. Mr. Yaomington also wants to know your views on the current situation in the imperial capital. And..."

"what else?"

"There are also some of my father's former colleagues and friends. They also sent people to visit me." Kylena quickly said: "I recorded their names and what they said. I did not accept any gifts from them.

.”

Kylena pulled out a document from the table and put it in front of Luke nervously.

Luke briefly looked through it: "These people, you didn't see them when you were in trouble, and now they are coming to make connections one by one... I don't dare to come openly, I want to hold on to you and wait and see.

If they give you a gift in the future, just accept it and don't give it away. If they want to ask you anything, you tell them that they can arrange to meet me. I'll see if they have the guts to meet me at this time."

"I understand, Chief Inspector." Not being blamed, Kylena breathed a sigh of relief: "If there is nothing else, I will retreat."

"Go down, I'll call you if something happens... Wait a minute, send someone to find Yomington, and tell him I want to see him.

Let him come here immediately."

"Yes, Chief Inspector."

Kylena left and closed the door, while Luke focused on dealing with the affairs of Raging Waves City.

The financial department has always been under the supervision of Yin Buer, so you can rest assured letting this shrewd businessman manage money.

In order to win over the people of Raging Wave City, Luke increased investment in the city's public construction. Urban areas that were not taken seriously before received many construction projects. After the money was spent, the urban residents whose working hours were reduced had money and time, and naturally

Promote consumption in cities.

Yin Buer recently conducted a survey and found that the average consumption power of ordinary residents in Nutao City is 1.5 times the average consumption power of international cities of the same level. It is 2.3 times the average consumption power of Shenglun City and 5 times the average consumption power of ordinary cities.

.

Consumption power is an important indicator of prosperity.

The prosperous City of Raging Waves is like a strong heart, capable of completing the circulation of wealth and materials between the Golden Shield Empire and the world. It brings not only tax revenue to the empire, but also nutrients that allow the entire empire to operate normally.

Luke can sleep peacefully in the imperial capital because of the vigorous economic activities in Raging Waves City.

Therefore, Luke has a very stable grasp on the economy of Raging Waves City, and he is willing to make the cake bigger and share it with others. For example, he does not have all the "Unit-1"-class all-metal battleships and newly developed all-metal civilian ships.

Instead, some technologies are transferred to other shipyards and let them be responsible for the production of some unimportant module parts.

There is also the Nutao City Alchemist Association that Mrs. Mihir took over. Many technologies have lowered the fees and thresholds for patent use. In their own areas of advantage, they increase production to ensure quality and appropriately reduce prices to impact the market share.

In order to support more enterprises and factories, Luke established an investment office under the Nutao City Government Affairs Office through its relationship with the World Bank to provide government financial support to companies and individuals in need of loans.

In addition to the World Bank, Nutao City also actively attracts other foreign investments. Policies and taxes are given as preferential as possible, with the purpose of building factories, building factories, building factories...

Three million people are too few for the Raging City that Luke imagined. Only with jobs can we attract more people and talents.

Viscount Inscolan is still mainly responsible for city security. At the same time, he relies on the intelligence provided to him by the Secret Intelligence Service and his previous foundation to resist the infiltration of the City Government Affairs Office by the Imperial Capital.

Emperor Augustine seemed to be sitting on the fishing boat, but in fact he was secretly making a lot of small moves in Raging Waves City. It was just that some people died accidentally and did not make a splash in the booming environment of Raging Waves City.

Luke carefully looked at the report sent by Raging Waves City, and compared it with the intelligence from the Secret Service and other channels, firmly holding Raging Waves City in his hands.

I don’t know how long she had been working, but Kylena came in and reported: Appointment has arrived.

Yomington is now the commissioner of the office of Raging Waves City in St. Lun City. The liaison department of the two most important cities in the empire makes him very prosperous now. The daily affairs and entertainment leave him no time to rest. Some new nobles are in Raging Waves City.

The losses were gradually recovered through him.

The change of hands in Raging Waves City did not cut off their financial resources, and many new nobles who had no serious enmity with Luke gradually accepted the current situation in Raging Waves City.

After all, there is no need to struggle with money.

Moreover, the Reform Society organized by Luke is essentially a branch of the new aristocratic force, and it is considered its own people.

Luke met with Yomington in the study, and when Kylena brought tea, he asked her to watch from outside... Don't let anyone come in and disturb him.

"This is noon tea grown on Clark Island. It is picked at noon between June 20th and 30th every year. It is brewed with tulip essence and has a mellow taste with a lingering floral fragrance..." Luke picked up the teacup and invited Yomington to drink tea, casually

Said: "I have read the report you sent. Your connections and relationships in the imperial capital have been put to good use. The trade and logistics between Nutao City and Shenglun City have not been affected by special events. This is very good.

score.

I have specifically informed the Nutao City Government Affairs Department to prioritize the import and export of Shenglun City goods. For those who need care, you can decide to give them special channels. Government is government, and business is business. Anyone can go to Nutao without me specifically naming them.

If you are doing business in the city, your work should not be affected by the palace."

Yomington was not as reserved as he was when he first met Luke. His good performance at work made him very relaxed here. He took a sip of tea, savored the taste, and waited for Luke to finish speaking before replying: "Chief Detective

Sir, I admire your mind very much. Now all parties in the imperial capital are gradually accepting the fact that what has happened in Raging Waves City. Even Gabriel, the chief assistant, is full of praise for you. Although he is still a little unwilling, he has to admit that

Raging City is yours now.

No, it belongs to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Luke smiled and said: "You don't need to test me. The main reason I called you here this time is to talk about how to rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess from this predicament.

What is the attitude of Mr. Chief Assistant?"

Yaomington asked in confirmation: "Chief Inspector, have you decided to continue to follow the eldest princess? According to His Majesty's appreciation of you, as long as you show your attitude of surrender, you will definitely be entrusted with an important task. Although Princess Dai'er has not been found yet

, but it is very likely that you will be admitted to the cabinet as compensation.

Now it is very obvious that His Majesty wants to deal with the eldest princess, and the entire palace is impeaching the eldest princess. Your attitude is very important. Following the eldest princess will make your Majesty very unhappy and will also create many political enemies.

Especially the eldest prince and the second prince."

Luke knew that Yomington was trying to find out who he was for Gabriel, so he truthfully confessed: "If I want to be trusted by your majesty, it will not only be as simple as betraying the eldest princess, but also handing over the city of Raging Waves.

But the company commander and princess could be dealt with, so how could I ensure that I would not end up with the same fate?

You can accurately express my attitude to the chief assistant and don't let him make wrong judgments.

And as the chief minister of the imperial cabinet, what Sir Gabriel should do now is to immediately cool down the overheated situation in the palace, rather than continue to ignite the situation. If this powder keg explodes, Sir Gabriel may not necessarily be able to get it.

It’s good, but it will definitely be seriously injured... and collapse is also possible.”

Luke's words are exactly what Gabriel is most worried about right now.

Once the struggle in the palace gets out of control, the first person to be affected will be the chief minister of the cabinet. Emperor Augustine may not really kill his children. If he wants someone to take the blame afterwards, he must find someone with weight.

Now that the Meteorite Chief Inspector has made it clear that he is loyal to the eldest princess, the eldest princess will continue to cause trouble if she has this kind of backing! Maybe tomorrow they will find someone to arrest the chief minister of the empire and eliminate a political enemy first.

Yaomington asked: "Chief Inspector! The assassination and disappearance of Princess Dai'er has put Her Royal Highness in a disadvantageous position. She has been arresting people everywhere in the past two days, which has pushed herself into the spotlight.

The voice of the presiding princess is so loud, what can you do to save her?"

"Find a significant foreign enemy. All parties in the palace will naturally put aside their internal conflicts and deal with the outside world in unison."

"Who is the foreign enemy?"

"The Celtic Archduke of Tedga Hills."

"The Archduke of Celtic is indeed a suitable foreign enemy, but how can all parties in the palace regard the Archduke of Celtic as an enemy that must be dealt with?"

"Force him to rebel!"

"Fuck..." Yomington immediately stopped his exclamation. He looked at the closed door and whispered, "You are crazy. If this gets out, we will all die."

"You think about it carefully, and it is important to let Mr. Gabriel, the chief minister, think about it carefully. Your Majesty is actually very uncomfortable with the fire. If he wants to deal with the eldest princess, he must pull me over first, but Princess Dai'er's life or death is unknown.

He wanted to deal with me, but he was afraid of chaos in Raging Wave City.

And there is also the powerful Miss Qingkong by his side.

But if he did not deal with the eldest princess, he would be afraid of damaging the majesty of the emperor.

At this time, the Chief Assistant should help His Majesty to share his worries and find a step for His Majesty to get down from the fire rack.

Everyone knows that His Majesty has long been interested in taking back the enfeoffments of the great hereditary nobles, and the hereditary nobles headed by the Celtic Grand Duke are also becoming increasingly disengaged. This battle will have to be fought sooner or later. It is better to fight it late than to fight it early, and it is better to fight it now than to fight it early.

."

Yomington lowered his head and carefully analyzed whether the Meteorite Chief Inspector had dug a hole for himself inside. He was afraid of being trapped in Raging Wave City.

But considering the interests of Gabriel's chief assistant, the benefits of forcing the Celtic Duke to rebel are really too many.
