Since Natalie had promised Mikhail vorodyavsky, she did not delay for a moment.
When the ball was over and Natalie and Cherchen returned to the guest room arranged by the marshal for them, Natalie asked Cherchen to severely punish bogusslav before Cherchen finished washing.
"You said I would not accept the ransom of the imperial dining officer, but proposed to the king and marshal to severely punish bogusslav?" Chechen asked with strange eyes at his wife.
At this time, he is taking off his dress and hanging it on the hanger.
This is a very strange request. Of course, this strange is not for Chechen, but for Natalie. As an old aristocratic descendant, Natalie should know better than herself what a blood feud between herself and the raziweu family will be caused by her proposal to severely punish boguslav. And this blood feud will be endless. This is the most important reason why I didn''t kill boguslav after he captured him, but to bring him back to Warsaw.
Besides, marshal lubaumatsky and Princess Louise Henriette both begged for mercy. How can I not give them face.
On thinking of this, Che Chen asked, "why?"
Natalie was sitting on the bed. At this time, she knew that he was hesitating when she heard Chechen ask. So Natalie sat up from her bed and said softly: "Che Chen, my husband. You can see the situation today. The marshal and the imperial dining officer must protect bogusslav. When they arrive in Warsaw, they will connect a group of people to intercede for bogusslav in front of the king. At that time, the king will be in a dilemma. Because the imperial dining officer is so patriotic and has selflessly supported the king. But if they are not punished Bogusslav cannot deter traitors and discipline them with justice. "
Speaking of this, Natalie remembered the cry of an old soldier when the nobles scrambled to surrender to the Swedes at the beginning of the Swedish invasion: "... can you tell me which country in the world has so much chaos and atrocities like this country? What kind of government is the government here? The king can''t rule the country because people don''t let him rule! The Parliament can''t rule the country because its members instigate it into disintegration! There is no army here because the nobles of Poland don''t want to pay taxes; they There is no court here, because no one exercises the rule of law, and every strong man can trample on the law; there is no loyal king here, because everyone has abandoned their king; there is no love here, because people have given love to Sweden, because Swedes promise them to live according to the old rules and patterns Son! Which country is like this? Which people in the world are like them, helping enemy countries to conquer their own country? "
Natalie thinks so, but Chechen doesn''t.
What he thought was that he had become the second Duke of konitsky. Yes, he proposed to severely punish bogusslav. His Majesty''s responsibility was cleared. He could say: "look, this is not my original intention, but what the owner of the prisoner Chechen asked; although I can''t bear it, I should also respect his rights and wishes." And then leave yourself clean, and I will bear all the hatred from marshal lubaumatsky, the raziwiu family and the nobles who are friendly to them.
"As big brother Bao Hong once said, why should I do this? What''s good for me?" Chechen''s heart made a voice.
Natalie continued, "but if you propose to severely punish bogusslav, the situation will be different. He is your prisoner, and you have the right to do anything with him, which no one can deprive."
"Wait a minute." Chechen said something to stop his wife from going on. He looked at Natalie brightly and asked word by word, "Natalie, did someone tell you these words or how did you think of them?"
Natalie stopped. Instead of answering directly, she asked, "does it make a difference?"
Che Chen already knew the answer. He was about to refuse when the door was pushed open.
"Never!" shouted his uncle Pedro.
After the dance, Pedro had a few more drinks with some good wine officers in the Marshal''s house. On his way back to the house, he passed Natalie and Chechen''s room, and just heard Natalie say that Chechen would give up the redemption conditions put forward by the imperial catering officer and must severely punish boguslav.
This frightened Pedro not only half sober, but also almost his heart stopped beating.
Because boguslav is involved in 400000 tales!
Yes, not 100000, but 400000.
More than a year ago, uncle and nephew Chechen and Pedro once handed over the 400000 tales earned by the mercenary regiment to kiajan, and asked kiajan to give them to the Jewish bankers behind him for lending.
The income of this money has been stable for many years, and kiajan has always claimed that the money has been invested in Africa and Asia to support the just cause of the people there. Therefore, Pedro is also very relieved.
But on the day he returned to Werner, a Jew found himself. At first, Pedro thought he was coming to sell goods to himself. But the Jew claimed to be a friend of keayan and wanted to see himself.
When Pedro met him, Pedro found out that the Jew came to inquire about how marshal lubaumatsky would deal with Prince boguslav.
At first, Pedro refused to disclose it on the grounds that it was confidential, and he didn''t let the Jew drink a few bottles of good wine. The Jew was in a hurry. He told Pedro that there was also mercenary money in the loan of the Jewish consortium to boguslav.
Pedro knew that the 400000 tales had not invested in Africa and Asia as kiajan said, but had been in Europe and Eastern Europe. Those greedy and dishonest Jewish bankers are playing a marginal ball. They lent money to boguslav''s relatives and friends in various countries, and then lent money to Prince boguslav through their hands, so as to circumvent the provisions of the treaty.
Today, the Jewish consortium to which kiajan belongs has invested a total of one million tales in boguslav, which has long become his military expenditure. Of course, these loans are mortgaged by the land, real estate and castle of the raziweu family.
Jewish bankers did not neglect this.
Jewish bankers dared to lend bogusslav so much money because they knew the national conditions of the Republic of Poland and that nobles like bogusslav would be pardoned if they surrendered or were captured.
Unexpectedly, King Jan kachmidge was surprisingly resolute this time - boguslav raziweu was a rare figure not on the pardon list; In this way, since the money had been invested, they could only expect bogusslav to win the war or surrender on the condition of life after losing the war. However, the only thing that reassures Jewish bankers is that even if a great nobleman and commander like boguslav is defeated, as long as he is not unlucky and killed by a stray bullet, his chances of survival are very high; As long as he lives, even if he escapes abroad to be an apartment, he is not afraid that no one will pay back his money.
This time, boguslav was captured by Cherchen, which flustered the head of the Jewish consortium in Werner. Because if boguslav is executed, because boguslav has no successor, those ious will become worthless after his death, and Jewish bankers will suffer huge losses.
That''s why they rushed to find all the relationships they could inquire about and inquire about boguslav''s life and death.
After knowing the truth, Pedro immediately beat the Jew with a wine bottle. When the fight was tired enough, Pedro panted and told him that boguslav would be fine, because his relatives mihau raziweu and field marshal lubomatsky would intercede for him in front of the king.
After hearing this, the black and blue Jew got up excitedly. He thanked Pedro for his kindness and went back to report the good news.
Pedro thought it would be so, but he didn''t expect Natalie to ask Cherchen to severely punish boguslav.
When he explained to Chechen and Natalie why he couldn''t severely punish bogusslav, Natalie''s face was already very ugly.
He did not expect that his husband and his uncle would lend money to boguslav, the traitor of the Republic, to fight.
At the thought that each of the 400000 tales had become a bullet and sword in the hands of the enemy, shot and stabbed at the patriotic soldiers, Natalie''s heart was as painful as a needle.
Pedro didn''t notice the change of Natalie. He just stared at his nephew and wanted him to give himself a guarantee.
Chechen didn''t lose his mind about money like his uncle. He noticed the change in Natalie''s expression and knew that she was very angry.
"Uncle, I know this. You go out first." Che Chen pushed his uncle out.
Pedro stood there on his legs and didn''t want to go out. He insisted that Cherchen give him a definite answer.
Chechen was helpless. In order to support uncle Pedro as soon as possible, he had to promise vaguely.
Now, without Cherchen pushing, Pedro left happily.
The door was closed.
When the footsteps outside the door drifted away, Chechen turned around. He came to Natalie and said, "Natalie, listen to me."
His response was a huge slap in the face.
Chechen was beaten. He never thought Natalie would hit herself.
Natalie sobbed and said, "God, look what you have done. You should lend money to bogusslav! Do you know what he does with this money? He buys weapons, hires mercenaries and buys allies. He uses this money to kill my compatriots. God! When I think about it, I want to cut off my hands."
Watching Natalie crying, Cherchen heartfelt pain.
In fact, Chechen cannot be blamed for the whole thing, because when Chechen reached an agreement with kiajan, he clearly put forward that the money given to the Jewish consortium should not be lent to countries at war with the Republic of Poland.
So the real fault is in the Jewish consortium, in keayan.
But Natalie obviously couldn''t listen to such an explanation at this time.
They just stood there, and Natalie kept crying. When Chechen inadvertently lowered his head, he saw that Natalie was barefoot.
Although there is a warm fireplace burning in the room, it is winter and the weather is cold.
Chechen picked up his wife''s shoes from the bed and put them next to Natalie''s feet.
But Natalie kicked it.
Chechen was helpless. He went to pick it up and put it at her feet again.
Natalie still kicked away.
If it was the third, Chechen was finally angry. He shouted at Natalie, "what do you want me to do? I can swear in the name of God that when I lent the money to kiajan, I made it clear to him that I should not lend the money to countries at war with the Republic of Poland. It was the Jews who broke the contract, not me. You believe it only when you want me to say that! What can I do to calm you down!"
Natalie raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen with crying.
"Take all the money back and let boguslav get the punishment he deserves," Natalie said.
After crying, Natalie calmed down a little. She also knew from the bottom of her heart that it was not Chechen''s fault. She put forward these two demands to ease the relationship between them.
But her last request was counterproductive, which made Chechen very angry and laugh.
Chechen''s anger burst out at once. He hammered his chest and asked: "Well, let boguslav be punished as he deserves? Is that what you want? Even now, you only think about your king and queen. Have you thought about it for me? What a disaster it would be to solve a blood feud with a noble family. As boguslav said himself: he is the Duke of the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick William elector and olan The Duke of Virginia is his in laws, and the king and queen of France are his close friends. I propose to punish boguslav? Hehe, the king will be satisfied at that time, but I will be punished. "
Natalie''s tearful eyes whirled. She looked at Chechen in disbelief.
"You''ve changed," Natalie said.
"Yes, I''ve changed." Chechen admitted, "I''ve become more concerned about ourselves. I care about my family, my companions and vidava. Isn''t this what a noble should do? Brother Bao Hong taught me. He let me know that if you don''t think about Lord konitsky''s reckless death, you have to think more about yourself."
When saying this, Che Chen looked at his wife confidently.
Natalie burst into tears.
Cherchen has some regrets - why should he say this?
"Good," Chechen tried to hold Natalie''s hand and said a few soft words.
But Natalie clapped Cherchen''s hand.
