Chapter 644 Leaks (Part 2)

The leak suspect soon came to him trembling with fear , Igor didn't ask questions immediately, instead both hands crossed near chest frowned and stared at him for a few seconds, pressing his eyes and silence until the other party had difficulty breathing and his legs began to soften before breaking the confrontation.

"Stand up straight!" Igor sighed firstly - lest he would be a big brother and then go to learn the younger sister and kneel down and beg for mercy, "Be honest," he said in a bad tone, "the Tyrell family is What kind of benefits did you give me to tell people everything like this?"

"My lord, I definitely didn't take the benefits and sell the news!" Although his legs were shaking like chaff, Neil was still Trying to straighten his knees, "I did receive gifts from Miss Margaery, but they were only low-priced courtesy items such as specialty fruits and home-brewed water... At that time, the Night's Watch industry and Highgarden were still Business partners, this is just a normal relationship between the two parties...the relationship between the two parties is nothing more than a dozen or so Golden Dragons, and I have all returned the gift. Sir, you know, Nina and I are in the industry They all have shares in the company, and whether they rely on dividends or salary, they are not bad at all, how could they be greedy for that little bit of cheapness and sell important secrets!”

Indeed, Neil Nina’s siblings are in the industry There are shares in it, and the weight is not small. If lords and knights are excluded, even if they are separated, they will definitely rank at the top of the Seven Kingdoms civilian rich list... However, there is no causal connection between wealth and incorruptibility. people, Igor has seen a lot before and after crossing.

"Since I didn't give you oil and water, could it be that Margaery Tyrell slept with you?"

"Huh?" Neil was stunned, then shook his head like a rattle. "How is it possible... She is so aloof and remote, how can she look down on ordinary people like us... Miss Margaery is indeed approachable, but I... have never even touched her hand."

"Listen, do you really want to touch?" Igor sneered, and his tone became even more blunt, "Then I don't quite understand—if the Tyrells have given you great benefits, you wouldn't treat them At least it can be understood as an outsider; and if that little girl Margaery slept with you, you and her missed a few words when they were whispering, I have to praise you for your ability... Now neither of these two, but you are Tell me, what are you planning to talk to her about my correspondence with the industrial park and even the itinerary? You are the dean of the Industrial Research Institute, not a clerk who doesn't care about shit. What should you say? I don't have any sense of confidentiality or information sensitivity, so how can I be in this position!?"

"I..." Neil muttered, but he didn't have the nerve to speak his mind-although he knew that he admired Margaery Tyrell pure It belongs to toad lusting after a swan's flesh, but it can be addicted to dryness without smelling it. It's really pleasant and satisfying to meet people's vanity, even if it's just chatting with such young, beautiful, and nice-sounding noble ladies. How can you control your mouth when a certain worm gets on his head?

"My subordinates are convicted, please adults... punish!"

"Punishment? It's easy to say! How much should the secret of gunpowder be worth? What is the impact of the war situation, and how many more casualties will be caused to the Queen's army? What kind of punishment is appropriate, I will now give you a chance to say it yourself?!"

Although it is full of anger and imposing manner The rhetorical question, but in fact, Igor oneself has no bottom in his stomach.

It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework, but this happened to him.

This is hard to tell because, according to the information available so far, what Neil has done has not yet reached the level of malicious collaborating with the enemy - he himself does not know the formula of gunpowder, he is just oneself It is determined that there are two components of sulfur and nitrate, but the two are already 2/3/2022 of the total; when the leak occurred, the marriage of Aegon and Margaery had not been announced, and the bombardment of the Golden Group had not yet occurred. I don't know that gunpowder is the core consumable of thermal weapons, and Reach and Night's Watch are still partners and not enemies...

If the above excuses do not change the "disclosure of important secrets" itself Evil nature, then the second difficulty is real: there is someone on Neil.

This person is not Neil's younger sister Nina, but Igor oneself.

If the entire Queen camp is compared to a company, Daenerys is the Boss and he is the general manager. When there is a moth in a certain department that affects the interests of the entire enterprise, the Boss doesn't care what the whole sequence of events and right and wrong are, she will only ask the principal for accountability, and now the responsible leader is oneself .

If Neil's leaks are made public and punished, Nina's heart will be cold, and the industry will be detached. Heavy head - in the small Night's Watch faction, there will be a poisoning case and a major leak later, what's the use of only fighting?

Even if the leak did not cause any serious consequences in the end, a "unknown person" and "nepotism" would never get rid of the pot, and this would become a black spot for oneself, soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed, which will have a serious negative impact on the various personnel recommendations and appointments made by him as the Prime Minister in the future.

This kind of unfavorable situation will not get better after punishing the perpetrator because of oneself's righteousness.

While Igor was trying to analyze the pros and cons, Neil really came up with a plan: "Sir, please transfer me to the land grant, and let me suffer in the World of Ice and Snow. Frozen, sober and calm down for a while, and reflect on oneself's mistakes."

Distribute Wall? It is indeed a feasible punishment plan, but Arsenal has far more secrets in the land grant than in the industrial park, and Neil's identity as "eldest brother-in-law", when Emperor Gao was far from where oneself and Nina were staring at, who would? Can you relax?

"Summer is coming soon, will I go to the Wall, is it to catch the cold or escape the heat?" Igor didn't pay attention to the client who took the initiative to offer advice, but turned to Nina, who was standing silently by the side, "So far, Apart from the three of us in the room, does anyone else know about this?"

"No, after I discovered the situation, I dragged him straight here, without any delay."

That's good. Although the big brother is unreliable, the younger sister is always sensible and shrewd.

As an extremely personable minister, you should hold on to what you can handle. It is the right choice to share the monarch's worries and not show outsiders any leverage or weakness.

"Thank you so much girl, she saved your life!" Igor relaxed, turned his head and glared at Neil again, twitched his lips to the side, "Stay here, I'll see you later I want to deal with you."

People will eventually live as oneself hates. After thinking about it, he chose the path that the villains in the eyes of the public will take - deceiving the top and the bottom.

Keeping the matter quiet is a matter of weighing the pros and cons, but it by no means means he has decided to spare Neil impunity. Nina thinks the leaker is oneself big brother, but this is not necessarily the whole truth, even if it is, how much information this kid leaked needs to be further investigated... Even if it is finally found out that there is no other situation, don't fiercely beat it. He has a long memory, and this half-baked relative will bring more trouble to oneself sooner or later.

Coincidentally, oneself has another "secret" schedule tonight. While divine light flashed, Igor suddenly had a new idea.

......

A few moments later, another pair of subordinates who had an appointment but were unexpectedly delayed to meet was called into the room.

Warner Buckwell, a garrison officer who was forced to put on black clothed for supporting Renly's betrayal of Stannis. Although this person has average luck in the line, his skills are unquestionable. Igor often appoints him to do some Difficult life. After discovering that oneself's land-grant forces had great shortcomings in the fields of intelligence and politics, Igor assigned him and oneself's personal bodyguard Harvey to jointly build the Intelligence Section. After winning King's Landing and entering the Red Keep, he immediately handed it over to him. The two of them have two more difficult and challenging jobs: investigating the identity of the "real killer" in the poisoning case, and monitoring the activities of Pentos Magister Illyrio and his henchmen.

Tonight is just in time for another round of progress reports.
