Chapter 317 Even though perfect, there are flaws
As the Prime Minister, Covance’s status needs no introduction.
Being taken away as a refugee who was about to starve to death, and finally became the Prime Minister of the Empire, the story of Covance can be told for a long time.
Over the years, His Majesty has almost never been involved in state affairs. Although there are often princes and princesses coming and going in the office, and parliamentarians and speakers come and go, he is still the only one in charge of the office.
As long as Covance wanted to, he could obtain the same rights as the Speaker, and even be more respected than the Speaker, but he did not do so.
Ask yourself about your innocence and your loyalty. This is the way Covance behaves.
However, his only concern is the son that no one knows about.
The blue concubine opposite was graceful and luxurious. Covance was not too surprised when he heard those words said by the other party.
The existence of his son was not deliberately concealed, but he stayed with His Majesty all year round, and few people would think of this direction. Now that he was reminded, it was within his expectation.
It’s just...
Lan Keer silently observed the palace minister. Ever since she entered the palace, Covance had been waiting by his majesty's side.
In a sense, Palace Prime Minister Covance is the true spokesperson of His Majesty the Emperor.
My father said that this was a solicitation, and the other party must not be made to think there was a potential threat, so it was necessary to hint a word or two.
However, after she told Sean all the news, Sean instead said: "The palace minister must be a smart person, so there is no need to say more. He himself knows the pros and cons and talks too much. On the contrary, it seemed too purposeful, even though it was a very purposeful thing."
Lan Keer chose to believe Sean and did not continue to speak, but waited for the rest of Covance's thinking. .
It was a little quieter, but Covance made a decision quickly.
He bowed slightly and handed back the card that could be exchanged for tens of millions of liras to Lan Keer.
“I don’t quite understand what you said.” Covance’s voice was still so quiet.
Lan Keer did not show any disappointment. She took the card back, then smiled and prepared to leave.
However, just when she was about to turn around, Covance's voice sounded: "Your Majesty is still angry with His Highness the Third Prince, so you must not think of interceding for His Highness... However, you can take a look at the information about the prison guards at Black Pigeon Prison to have a better idea.”
After saying that, he bowed and motioned for Lan Ke'er to follow him.
Lan Keer was overjoyed. As expected, it was just as Sean said. Not only could he find the information he wanted, but he could also find information on the prison guard responsible for Baiyou. As long as Covance was willing...
They did not enter through the main entrance of the office. Instead, they went around a small door on the side under the leadership of Covance.
It is almost a library, with a height of 30 meters and is divided into three floors. There are various materials on the shelves on each floor.
The technological development of the empire is naturally among the best. However, it is His Majesty’s personal request to use only paper for data backup. He believes that there is too much uncertainty in storing data on technological products. Therefore, backup, backup of backup All are made of paper.
After walking in, Covance locked the stairs on the second floor in front of Concubine Lan. He bowed and said, "In an hour, someone will come to clean this place."
After that, he started from Leave through the side door, keeping the door ajar as you leave.
"I have an hour to find the information I want..." Lan Keer thought silently.
She glanced at the locked second floor. There should be more important information there, but it was impossible for Covance to let her query it. She must have known that all the information on the first floor was Not top secret.
Without wasting time, Lan Keer immediately found what she wanted.
The various births and relationships of the prison guards should not be considered important information. However, because of the special nature of Black Pigeon Prison, it is still preserved here.
"The fourth floor from the bottom...should be Prison No. 5..."
Lan Keer quickly found what she wanted and silently made a note of the responsibility for the fourth floor from the bottom. She put down the information about the names and general relationships of the prison guards.
However, just as she was about to close it, she noticed that next to her was the person in charge's information on the fourth floor from the bottom.
Out of curiosity, Lan Keer opened the thin booklet next to her.
"Code name: Pestilence, served for thirty-two years..." The information in the booklet was surprisingly sparse, only a few lines of text.
As for Pestilence, it should be the code name of the watchers on the penultimate floor, even the penultimate floor and the first floor.
Looking at the updated time on the booklet, Lan Keer remembered that not long ago, it was the day when the Black Pigeon Prison was attacked by the tree people, and the target of the tree people is still unclear, because the prison warden The commander returned to the imperial capital to report the situation, so the prison suffered a heavy manpower loss.
Apparently, it was updated when the warden returned to the imperial capital that day.
Lan Keer was a little surprised, because the warden was changed every five years, which was a well-known situation.
The Black Pigeon is in a special situation. People who stay there for a long time, whether they are prisoners or prison guards, will develop serious psychological problems. How come the black pigeon has stayed there for a full thirty-two years? Or is this just a code name, and the people after the code name are constantly changing?
In addition, Lan Keer always felt that this code name was inexplicably familiar, as if she had heard similar content somewhere.
However, when there was no time, Lan Keer could only remember the general content and recall it when she returned.
The first floor is very large, but the information inside is not absolutely confidential, otherwise Covance would not be able to let her check it so readily.
It didn’t take long for Lan Keer to find another goal of his.
"Fortunately, the major general's information was not put on the second level. This should be the highest level retained on the first level." Lan Keer muttered in her heart, with some surprise in her eyes.
This is not actually what Sean took the initiative to help him find. The real situation is that the two of them were having fun in bed, and they would inevitably talk about various things that happened in the empire during the tender stage afterwards.
She saw that Sean was distressed, and after repeated questioning, Sean told her the little trouble he had encountered.
Lan Keer discovered, isn’t this just right?
Anyway, she was going back to the palace soon, and she had to deal with Covance.
After checking the information of the prison guard guarding Bai You, according to his father, it was called adding head, and the key point was to establish a good relationship with Covance.
However, Lan Keer found that she had the ability to help Sean solve a small problem.
The best of both worlds.
After browsing for a while, Lan Keer's eyes fell on the name of Major General Rensi.
“The guarding officer of Laya Volcano... took office more than three years ago.”
"Life experience..."
The more Lan Keer looked at it, the more he frowned. Major General Rensi's life experience was a bit too plain and smooth.
Compared with people she knows well, Lan Keer herself knows that she is far less sensitive in politics and military affairs, that is, she is just using her identity to provide support. However, after so many years of contact, she is not ignorant of this aspect, and some joints that are not right can still be seen.
Major General Lance’s resume seems normal, but the biggest weirdness is that it is too normal.
Being born in an unknown, run-down noble family, and later joining the Imperial Army, there are many such people, but very few can sit in the position of major general. It's not that the promotion speed is too fast. As Lan Ke'er knows, there are people who are promoted to major general in less than ten years.
According to records, this Major General of Lens was promoted to Crimson more than three years ago, and was also transferred to Laya Volcano at that time.
Crimson's strength is considered outstanding among major generals. It is indeed not easy for the opponent to have such strength when he is from a small noble family.
However, there is a contradiction here.
Others don't know, but she knows very well that it is almost impossible for Lens to be promoted to major general in just more than ten years.
His life experience does not reflect his background at all, and now that he has no accumulated military exploits, he has no background and wants to be promoted quickly? Purely dreaming.
Of course, Lens can also be extremely capable. Geniuses who realize their talents will always receive preferential treatment, just like Sean, who is extremely outstanding at a young age. Lan Keer has never seen anyone better than Sean. He is an outstanding peer, even other princes cannot do it.
But this is even more conflicting. If Lens was really such a genius, would he be sent to Laya Volcano?
To say it is not important there is a bit exaggerated, but to say how important it is is to look at the military strength. The permanent troops stationed at Laya Volcano are only 20,000.
It is not strange for Shen Hong to go there, but it is strange for young Shen Hong with outstanding talent to go there.
In addition, Lan Keer discovered that Lens did not see any recommendation letters during his promotion process.
Recommendation letters are also a reflection of background. Of course, when you are in the middle and lower levels, even if you have no background, you can still rely on your talents to attract appreciation.
If Collins is so outstanding, why is there no record of a recommendation letter?
Lan Keer immediately realized that Major General Lance's resume had been forged.
Looking around quietly, she was surprised. The backup paper data in the office had actually been forged?
Does Stevens know about this? Or is Covance acquiescing to this forgery?
However, there are only a few people who can easily check the information. Who is this forged for... the prince? Or Your Majesty?
Lan Ke'er didn't show anything was wrong. She just read it back and forth a few times and wrote down everything she could remember.
Looking at the time, she left here in a hurry.
Soon after, the door was pushed open again, and a few old men who looked extremely haggard came in with tools and started cleaning.
They are the old chamberlains left by the late emperor, so they are usually sent to work in places where the work is easy but the location is sensitive, such as here.
A few old men were carrying out the same steps as usual, dusting, expelling insects, etc. However, one of them's cloudy eyes flickered slightly when he passed by the information room of Major General Lawrence that Lan Ke'er had just browsed. one time.
……
A few days later.
The room was filled with the smell of corruption. Panting, Lan Keer took off the collar around her neck to make her breathing easier.
After finally leaving the palace again, and telling her father about Covance, she pretended to return to the palace quickly, but actually went to see Sean again.
After not seeing each other for a few days, she found that she missed him even more, so of course she played more exciting tricks.
Lan Ke'er, who has completely let go, no longer cares about her identity, and she doesn't care about shame or humiliation. This almost depraved addiction always allows her to find that sense of freedom and excitement. feel.
Straightening up slightly, she smoothed up her hair, then gave the man a charming look, and leaned over to help him clean up.
After brushing her teeth, she lay on Sean's bed and said lazily: "I don't even want to go back to the palace... When I sleep at night, there is no one around, and it always feels empty."
Sean chuckled, and then patted her peach-like buttocks gently.
Amidst the crisp sound, Lan Keer gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily: "Don't seduce me anymore, or you won't be able to walk when you go back later."
Xiao En chuckled: "Then I will go to your palace to find you next time."
Lan Ke'er's heart trembled. The inside of the palace was not as good as the outside. There were many experts gathered there, and there were countless various defensive measures. It is almost impossible to sneak in, but if she visits her normally, a young man like Sean cannot stay at her place for too long, otherwise he will be discovered.
However, the faint excitement in her heart made her more and more fascinated, so she simply lay down in Sean's arms: "Then... keep your word, you have to find a way to find me."
"Isn't that simple?"
Looking at Lan Keer's confused look, Sean sighed in his heart.
Lan Fei has been suppressed for many years. Since she let go completely that night, she is like a dam that has burst. She dares to say anything and play with anything.
However, Sean said he liked it very much.
Having an obedient little pet, coupled with the other person’s identity, always brings a different kind of excitement and conquest.
After a moment of tenderness, the two talked and got back to business.
Lan Keer handed over all the information she recorded to Sean, but she was still confused.
"Major General Lance must have a problem, but he can't find the key to the problem." Lan Keer said doubtfully.
Sean nodded: "It's so smooth. Moreover, the person who handled his resume is very capable. I knew there were problems in it, but I investigated every link in the resume and couldn't find any clues." ."
Lan Ke'er showed a surprised expression: "It was handled so perfectly"
Sean narrowed his eyes: "It is indeed perfect, but there are still some imperfections."
"Where?" Lan Keer asked curiously.
Sean patted her butt again and said with a smile: "Because of you, they showed a flaw."
"Flaw? Because of me?" Lan Ke'er didn't understand.
Shaun stretched and then got up from the bed: "The time is up, you should go back to the palace, and then..."
He whispered a few words, and Lan Keer's face turned slightly red, but she still nodded.
......
On the tall trees outside the villa, several birds stood on the branches. One of them was slightly larger and kept turning its head.
Until the back door of the villa was opened, the bird's head fixed its gaze.
Lan Keer walked out, and there was a man beside her who seemed very close to her.
