C2610 bread subsidy (2/2)
The Crown Prince looked coldly at these dirty officials. None of them spoke a word for fifteen minutes!
”Good, good, good …” Are you guys purposely going against me? It seems that you all have too much against me. Am I not qualified to rule this empire? ” At this point, the Crown Prince's face turned cold.
”Do you think that just because I'm young, I won't dare to kill anyone?!” ”Someone, come …”
The door was slammed open and a group of soldiers rushed in. The crown prince could not be bothered with them and waved his hands, ”All of you, send them to the military court. Let the military torture officials take action. I don't believe that they will remain mute forever!”
”I am not a tyrant, I will not kill people out of anger, but I will do things according to the law! As long as you have broken the law of certain death, I will not pity that bullet! ”
”Do it!” ”Tie him up!” The imperial guards charged forward like wolves and tigers to bind the high officials of the empire. These people did not expect the crown prince to be serious. They were all frightened to the point that their faces turned ashen.
”Your Highness …” Don't try to capture me, I have my reasons, I was wrongly accused! ”
”Your Highness, you can't do this, our family has supported His Majesty for generations. From the first empire onwards, we were loyal subordinates of the Bonaparte Family, so you can't treat us like this …”
”Then quickly tell the truth!” The Guard Captain shouted, ”Don't treat His Highness's kindness as weakness!”
At this point, the high-ranking officials were ready to throw caution to the wind, the leader gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, ”Your Highness!” ”I'll tell you the truth. The Ministry of Finance had already given away a month's worth of bread subsidies. Actually, it's not like they don't have any money …”
”Rather... But the money was taken away by someone! ”
”Someone took the money and lent it to us. He took it to us for a month …” Just in this one month, he can earn at least 3 million Gold franc s worth of interest with this bread subsidy! ”
”The people working downstairs can't do anything either! ”Since their money has been taken away, we can only drag it out …”
”Bastard!” Eugen. Bonaparte shouted, ”You are wronged! This is a crime! Who was it? Who dares! ”
The officer who was bound knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he shouted, ”Your Highness! Ask the queen about this! Your uncle and cousin took the money, what else can we do? ”
”I …” The Crown Prince was like a balloon that had been deflated. He had never thought that his relatives would interfere in this matter.
”Your Highness, do you know why the military port of Marseille did not return the promissory note for the year 1864? Do you really think things are as simple as they seem? ”
”Let me tell you! Some people have colluded with the masters of the merchant ships to forge false transport documents, with the aim of deceiving the empire's freight rates! ”
”In 1864, Marseille Port's logistics supervisor was blamed! Back then, he had earned enough money to run away. Who would be willing to clean up his mess for him? That's why there's such an old promissory note! ”
”The water in here is extremely deep! Your Highness, you cannot be reckless! ”
”Since you wish to lose all decorum today, this subordinate will not hide anything from you …” Do you really think that the data in the warehouses all over the country is true? ”
”I advise you to actually go and count them! Many of the supplies are only in the books, while the warehouse is empty! ”
”Your eyes saw the workers eating less than a piece of bread, but how could this empire's terminal illness be solved with just one piece of bread!”
