"Hahaha …"
After listening to Orlando's warning, Ron laughed until he was out of breath.
However, Orlando didn't feel that what he had just said was ridiculous, and he didn't care about Ron's ridicule.
He quietly waited for Ron to finish laughing, and then continued without changing his expression, "My Lord, if I really wanted to fool you, I wouldn't have chosen such a clumsy reason."
Ron restrained his smile and said indifferently, "So, Orlando, why don't you tell me why the Lute Family is in danger?"
"My Lord, have you ever thought about how such a valuable bond could be stolen so easily by my two subordinates?"
Ron showed a thoughtful expression. In fact, he had previously guessed that all of this was Count Angele's scheme based on similar reasons.
However, facing Orlando, Ron didn't want to reveal too much of his thoughts, and he just quietly listened to the other side's narration.
"My two subordinates didn't reveal the whereabouts of the 'stolen' bonds even though they were tortured beyond recognition. Haha, I know them. If they really stole those bonds, they would have confessed long ago." "Haha, I know them well. If they really stole those bonds, they would have confessed long ago.
Now everyone thinks that the bonds are in my hands, but I can honestly tell you that this is a lie!
So, this matter was a trap from beginning to end! "
"Orlando, you should say these words to Capone. It's useless to say them to me." Ron said indifferently, "And, what does this have to do with the Lute Family? What do you mean when you said that the Lute Family is in danger? "
"My Lord, I admit that at this point, it's impossible to wash off the suspicion with just my one-sided words. Everyone believes that the bonds are in my hands.
However, have you ever thought about a question?
When the caravan first reported the case, they didn't mention the bonds at all. Then why did Capone firmly believe that my subordinates stole the bonds when he found me? "
Ron thought for a moment and explained, "Perhaps the people of the caravan didn't want to attract too much attention at first. If everyone knew that the stolen things were so valuable, they would be even less likely to recover the stolen goods."
"No, my Lord. You must also know that the caravan belongs to the North Wind Chamber of Commerce. This time, they came to Alfalfa City to hand over the bonds to the East in exchange for an equal amount of food.
In that case, the Eastern Region would definitely send someone to do the handover.
Therefore, the reason why Capone was able to determine the existence of the bonds was because the people in the Eastern Region told him so.
At this point, Capone trusted the Eastern Region, and the Eastern Region also trusted the Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce.
But the problem is, I didn't steal the bonds at all.
So, there can only be one truth — Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce lied! "
Orlando's eyes were burning as he continued, "Then, why would the North Wind Chamber of Commerce, which is obviously colluding with the Eastern Region, deliberately lie and let Alfalfa City fall into turmoil?
Apparently, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce seems to be in cahoots with the Eastern Region, but in fact, they are controlled by Count Angele! "
Ron's heart skipped a beat as he secretly approved of Orlando's deduction.
Because he himself had just come to a similar conclusion.
It was just that he had deduced from the results and motives, while Orlando had deduced from the most important piece of evidence — the bonds.
Combining the two, Ron had basically determined that the turmoil in Alfalfa City this time was controlled by Count Angele behind the scenes!
However, in front of Orlando, Ron certainly wouldn't reveal his true feelings, so he just said indifferently:
"Mr. Orlando, you've said so much just to prove that those bonds are not in your hands. However, other than yourself, no one will easily believe you. "
"I understand." Orlando nodded and continued, "But, Sir City Lord, I said so much just to give you a warning."
"Warning? Hehe, Mr. Orlando, until now, I still don't understand. How did the turmoil in Alfalfa City affect the Lute Family? "
"Is that so?" Orlando had a playful look in his eyes, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if things continue to develop?"
Ron frowned and fell into deep thought.
Orlando continued, "There will be a battle between Capone and me, but no matter who wins in the end, this matter needs to end. There will eventually be a conclusion about the existence of the bonds.
At that time, the people of the Eastern Region will realize that they have been played!
The details of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce will be thoroughly seen! "
"So? What does this have to do with the Lute Family? "Ron still couldn't keep up with Orlando's train of thought.
"Sir City Lord, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce was willing to do this for Count Angele. Didn't they think about their own fate?
When the people of the Eastern Region and the various forces of Alfalfa City realize that they have been played, do you think that caravan will be able to leave Alfalfa City safely? "
"What are you trying to say?" Ron narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"I want to say that the people of the Eastern Region and the various forces of Alfalfa City will eventually realize that they have been played, and they will need a target to vent their anger.
Since the North Wind Chamber of Commerce dared to do this for Count Angele, they must know that they have a way to get out, or they know that there will be a scapegoat.
So, Sir City Lord, who do you think this scapegoat will be? "
Ron's face finally changed.
Orlando saw this and smiled proudly, saying again, "Sir City Lord, you should have thought of it. In fact, I am not surprised that Count Angele has made such an arrangement.
The North Wind Chamber of Commerce is the number one chamber of commerce in the Northern Frontier, and they are also an important spy who has successfully gained the trust of the Eastern Region. Compared to the Lute Family who is struggling in Alfalfa City, their value is much higher.
So, when I said that the Lute Family is in danger, I was not talking nonsense, right? "
"Impossible! Sir Count Angele would not do this … "Jason shouted with a flustered expression.
But Ron's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything.
"Why is it impossible?" Orlando said lightly, "We are small characters, and it is difficult for us to escape the fate of being chess pieces. As chess pieces, we must be aware that we will be sacrificed.
The only problem is that we do not have a bargaining chip that the chess player will value.
Sir City Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but the bargaining chip in the hands of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce is obviously more important than the Lute Family. "
"Nonsense!" Jason was still trying to refute Orlando, "This matter has nothing to do with our Lute Family from beginning to end, so how can it involve us?"
"How can it have nothing to do with you? You are the nominal 'masters' of this city, so you have the motive and the ability to do such a thing. " Orlando sneered, "As for how to make you scapegoats, there are too many ways. I don't know what Count Angele's specific plan is, but it is not easy.
For example, he can make the priceless bonds' coincidentally 'appear in the City Lord's Mansion … "
"No, no …" Jason kept shaking his head, as if what Orlando said would not become reality.
But Ron had already agreed with Orlando's judgment in his heart. Their Lute Family was indeed very likely to be thrown out as scapegoats.
In any case, it was not difficult for Queen Aisha to appoint a new City Lord.
Moreover, during this period of time, the Lute Family's actions were indeed disappointing.
Orlando knew that Ron had been persuaded by him, so he quickly opened his mouth again, "But, Sir City Lord, chess pieces have their own consciousness, they can struggle, they can resist!
This was taught to me by my adopted son, Blue.
Hehe, you may not know, but the reason why I am in such a situation is all thanks to this good son!
Of course, I can also understand his actions, because I chose to be a bystander when he needed help the most. His anger, his disappointment, I can completely understand it now.
Sir City Lord, Blue is a chess piece against his will, and in the end, he chose to use his own way to take revenge on me.
What about you?
Are you willing to be pushed out as a scapegoat by Count Angele? "
Ron pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head again, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
He stared at Orlando's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Orlando raised his eyebrows, and a relieved expression appeared on his face, then he said confidently,
"Sir City Lord, I have a plan."
