The next thing is very simple.

With the safety of his only daughter being threatened, Hugo honestly began to perfect the details of how he "conspired" with Ludwig to murder Baron Old Reyer. Since being caught by the East Coast people, he knew that he could not survive. In order not to involve his daughter, he had no choice but to cooperate with the East Coast people and began to slander Ludwig.

Of course, Ludwig was not a good thing. This guy's butt was also very unclean, and everyone was slandered. As for the remaining "guests" who had heard the story all night - a seriously injured Scotsman and two dancers, were buried by Inspector Sun of the Intelligence Agency - they knew too much. And Mr. Lester also failed to escape. In Hugo's happy eyes, the Scottish assassin who was struggling to beg for mercy was also buried in the pit and became fertilizer for the vineyard.

After dealing with some traces of the scene, Mo Ming and a group of intelligence agents escorted Hugo and quietly returned to the commercial station located in the city. Their return movements could not be hidden from others, and they did not intend to hide from anyone.

Xu Xin, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up urgently by Mo Ming. After drinking a glass of wine and refreshing, he sat on a chair and began to hear what was wrong with the spies shouting him in the middle of the night.

However, the amount of information contained in what happened tonight was obviously too large. Since Mo Ming's deputy Sun Heiqi began to report the incident seriously, Xu Xin has maintained a dull expression from beginning to end.

The ins and outs of the matter are clear. Ludwig could not compete with the new "comprador class" of Bordeaux, which was represented by the Pasquiel family as the openly, so he prepared to use the same trick again and destroy the cooperative relationship between the East Coast Republic of China and the "comprador class" of Gascone through decent assassination.

This was not the first time he did in many years. Hugo's young partner, Lester, a scumbag bandit from Scotland, took over several businesses. It can be said that Ludwig was definitely a mafia-level businessman.

But there was an unexpected situation. Lester was not in a close relationship after accepting the commission. He was seen through by Sun Heiqi, who had rich anti-espionage experience, and then followed the clues to get the old nest. Even Hugo, who was discussing details with Lester at the time, was taken away. After hearing that the spies from the Intelligence Bureau had neatly dissolved the assassin that had not yet occurred and used cold and cruel means to deal with the assassins, Xu Xin couldn't help but take a breath.

These are all a bunch of ruthless people. Xu Xin looked at the kind Sun Heiqi in front of him with complicated eyes, the extraordinary Mo Ming, and the loyal and taciturn Kojiro, and Shinzaemon, and couldn't help but feel sad.

After Sun Heiqi finished reporting the matter, Mo Ming cleared his throat and began to talk to Xu Xin about his preliminary concept of the next development of the matter.

According to Mo Ming's idea, it was really a surprise to catch Hugo this time. Not only could he use this to get in touch with Baron Reyer, the local powerful Baron in the Upper Gallon area, but he could also slander the old guy Ludwig, even if he couldn't use this to pull him into the water, he could at least disgust him seriously.

The murderer who killed Baron Reyer for more than 20 years was left alone. This incident alone was enough to make the Toulouse's real power figure feel very disgusted with him. What's even more terrifying is that the Toulouse's real power baron has a certain connection with the aristocratic circle in Paris and has a great influence. Old Ludwig's future business will probably be declining. This is Mo Ming's plan to win a rabbit and kill two birds with one stone.

"It's so dark." Xu Xin pulled his lips and said with a reluctant smile, "The total population of Languedoc is 800,000 to 900,000 in the two regions. What's even more rare is that these two regions are relatively wealthy, not inferior to Gascone. Toulouse is a well-known city of wealth. If you can take this opportunity to take advantage of Baron Reyer this time, you will have a lot of confidence in opening up the local market in the future. As long as you can open the market, it will be worth it even if we give half of the profits. Not to mention, we can also use this to radiate to Provence in the east. I have to say, Webmaster Mo, you have solved a lot of trouble for me, at least saving us a lot of energy and costs."

"Don't say such a strange thing." Mo Ming waved his hand, then stood up and walked to Hugo who was squatting beside him, and said in a different French way: "Hugo, I think you must have a lot of doubts and fears now. Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Yes, I killed Lester and I deceived him. But that's because I think that if the scum is alive, it will cause me a lot of trouble. As for your daughter, Miss Lola, she is just a country girl who doesn't know anything. I don't need to hurt her. On the contrary, I will give her a sum of money that will make her rich for life."

"Let Lola go to the east coast..." After a night of tossing, Hugo is so embarrassed now. His hair, which was originally meticulously combed, also seemed messy at this time. He only heard him say in a low and hoarse voice: "Let her go to the east coast, Ludwig will not let her go. Only on the east coast can she live freely. When she grows up, she will marry a good person there and forget her murderer's father... I have a deposit, which is about a hundred francs, and I ask you to transfer it to her for me. This is my only request. As long as you agree, I will cooperate with you for the rest."

"Okay." Mo Ming simply agreed, "Inspector Sun, you should take Hugo to the basement to improve the details now, be careful not to make any mistakes. Lu Qi, you can also follow us to make records, and leave them to me for review after the record is copied."

The two took Hugo to the basement.

"How to deal with Ludwig?" Xu Xin was a little annoyed. He had a good temper on his usual temper, but it did not mean that he had no temper at all, especially when someone hired a murderer to assassinate him. Originally, he believed that the competition between him and Ludwig, a Jewish vampire, was limited to competition in the business and political fields. There were certain ways and rules between the two sides when they were counterattacked. But he really underestimated the moral limits of the merchants in this era, and they did not play according to routines.

If you can't beat you on the surface, I will come to the yin; if you can't beat you, I will come to the despicable ones! Buying murder is actually not uncommon in this era. Don't you see, Rockefeller in America was still buying murderers until the end of the 19th century. So honest people are not suitable for doing business in such complex areas. If they were not backing the powerful backer of the East Coast Republic, Xu Xin would have fallen into the hands of Ludwig, a 17th-century native.

"What do you want to deal with? Kill him?" Mo Ming glanced at him and said, "This guy has now gone to Lyon. According to Hugo, he is going to deal with business disputes, but I think he is probably going to deal with his backlog of cotton cloth, shrink the size of the workshop, and reduce costs. Moreover, this Jew is not without foundation locally. Otherwise, with the bad things he has done over the years, he will have died many times. Assassination is not advisable, and he is not defenseless. This guy is so terrifying."

"So you are going to pull the bad news of the murder of Baron Reyer back then?"

"Well, but it's hard to say how the effect is." Mo Ming analyzed calmly, "After all, this is just a side of Hugo at that time. Even if the details are made up, no matter how detailed or reasonable, after all, there is insufficient evidence. Baron Reyer is far away in Toulouse, so he may not be able to do anything to Ludwig, the old boy. Of course, even so, Ludwig will probably be in trouble for a long time in the future. I heard that this kid has invested in wine and citrus plantations in Montpellier. This is where the baron in Toulouse can exert influence. Haha, he is in trouble now."

"Anyway, he's just a scum." Xu Xin was still a little confused. "What should we do next? Just send that guy in the basement to Toulouse?"

"Of course not." Mo Ming said, "I still have to ask the Pasquiel family for help. Their family has a deep connection and can help us get to Baron Reyer smoothly, which will save a lot of effort. Moreover, I am sure that their family, especially Julian, will be very happy to do this."

"Haha, why did I forget this?" Xu Xin slapped his head in annoyance and said, "Julian doesn't know how much he hates Ludwig! This time he pinched his old opponent's 'handle', and I guess he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep. Let's do this, I'll go to Julian's house in a while and discuss this with him."

Mo Ming nodded, then turned to Kojiro and Shinzaemon who were standing next to him and said, "From now on, you will continue to follow Minister Xu and protect Minister Xu's safety. This incident of Ludwig hiring murder sounded a wake-up call for us. I don't know how many enemies are peeping at us secretly. Okay, I won't say much. Just know the importance of it, and go and perform your duties."

The two bent down and bowed to show that they obeyed the order.

Everything will be calm for the next few days, at least on the surface. Julian said ecstaticly that he will use his family's deep connections to get in touch with Baron Reye of Toulouse as soon as possible.
