Doomsday Code
Chapter 70: The Insidious Jamil
After the two of them got on the carriage and left, Chen Cheng couldn't help but sighed in the carriage:
"This administrator is also a rare talent."
He had just looked at Tophis's account book and did a casual calculation and found that there was not a single mistake in these messy accounts.
To be honest, Chen Cheng admired him very much for being able to ensure the clarity of the accounts using such a backward accounting method.
It was precisely because of Tophis's diligent and responsible attitude that Chen Cheng thought of teaching him the accounting method he knew in his previous life.
I believe that with a clearer and more economical way of keeping accounts, it will also make his future work less laborious.
Moreover, the new accounting method is no longer so cumbersome to detect, and many accounting holes that previously required a long period of calculation time to discover can now be discovered quickly.
Huidun on the side also nodded and said:
"Don't be fooled by Tophis' fat appearance, he may look like a fat-headed guy.
In fact, he had been in office for more than twenty years, and the area he governed was not only prosperous but also well-organized.
It's just that when he was young, this guy was arrogant and refused the solicitation of an earl, and he never moved up a step after that.
When I came to Huidun City, the entire Huidun territory was in a mess because it was located on the western border.
Fortunately, he accepted the olive branch my mother offered him, and then he was transferred to my place. Under his governance over the years, although the entire territory has not developed as well as other places, the chaotic things in the territory are no longer seen. "
Although Huidun kept calling that guy "that guy", his face still showed a look of relief.
To be honest, he was very grateful to Tophis in his heart. It was because of him that Huidun could stay here.
Otherwise, with the situation being so dirty, messy and poor, within two years Huidun would be overwhelmed by the troubles in the territory and eventually die of grief.
At the same time, it was also because Huidun loosened his power over Tophis, allowing him to govern the Huidun territory as he pleased, which led to the current small territory located in the border, quiet and peaceful.
It was also because of Tophis's contribution to the Huidun Territory that he did not cause trouble for him after the last Tenglong Dead Wood incident.
Because he knew that Tophis was really inexperienced in currying favor with his superiors, and he did that just to repay his kindness to him.
After listening to Huidun's words, Chen Cheng finally understood why those so-called street thugs and evildoers were not seen in this small border town.
You must know that in the modern urban governance that Chen Cheng knows, national border cities are often extremely chaotic and also the most difficult to govern.
The fact that Tophis was able to govern such a remote area so well shows that he has good insights into internal politics.
Chen Cheng silently memorized Tophis's name. Perhaps this guy could become Huidun's right-hand man in the future. When Huidun really got to that position, perhaps he would leave, and he could also serve as Huidun's successor to help him deal with the kingdom's internal affairs.
Let’s not talk about this here. At this time, in the backyard of the church, Jamil, Hull and his group were chatting and laughing about their studies in the seminary affiliated with the church.
This is also one of the means Jamil uses to get closer to Hur.
He knew that Hull would have some gaps with them since he had just arrived, and the best way to eliminate these gaps was to find similarities between the two of them, and the study time in their youth was a good breakthrough.
And the fact was just as he expected. Hull also missed the time when he studied in the seminary when he was young. That was also the time when Hull established his own values. It was also the education in the seminary that made him swear in his heart that he would guard the God of Light all his life.
Through this kind of communication, the two of them also narrowed the inner distance between each other.
It can be said that Jamil is indeed a cunning old man. He played the card of sympathy. If Hull had not been adopted and raised by Naquse, he would have really fooled this platinum-level warrior into bowing down to him and calling him his brother.
While Jamil was talking about feelings, Father Hodos came over anxiously.
Then he leaned over and said something in Jamil's ear. The next moment, Jamil, who had just been smiling, changed his expression and the whole atmosphere became gloomy.
He didn't expect that Qusai's men were so stupid. Knowing that Huidun was at odds with their church, they still dared to do as they did in other noble territories and cut down trees and build camps without restraint without submitting any application.
But this is also what he wanted, because it is because of their stupidity that he can bring them under his command later.
But he would never show these, because he still had ambitions and wanted to become a cardinal.
He waved his hand to let Hodos go down, and then he looked at Hull, his expression changed again, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Excellency Knight Commander Hull, things are a bit troublesome right now. It's all my fault. I just saw the arrival of the High Absorption Knights at the city gate, and I forgot to tell you that His Highness Count Huidun had some misunderstandings with us.
I am really old and confused. I didn't know to report to the Earl two days earlier. Now the Earl knows that the knights of the Knights Templar were cutting down trees and setting up camp outside the city. Now the Earl is very angry and is gathering the patrol guards in the city to arrest these knights. "
At first, Heer thought that some enemy had come, and after hearing this, he frowned, then he stood up and saluted Jamil and said:
"Your Highness the Bishop cannot be blamed for this. This is all my fault. I failed to discipline my subordinates. I will now go to the Earl to apologize."
After saying that, Hull rushed out of the city in a hurry.
Seeing Hull leaving, the self-blaming look on Jamil's face quickly changed. The attitude he just showed was just for Hull to see, and he did not remind him outside the city on purpose.
This old guy not only wants to plot against Huidun, but he also wants to plot against Qusai who is far away in the royal capital.
There are only so many kingdoms on the continent, and there is only one cardinal in each kingdom. Now that he is a bishop, it is natural for him to take a step forward and become the bishop who dominates a country's religion.
And if Qu Sai can't get through, then where does he get the chance?
Although Sgert beside him is Hull's disciple and treats Hull like his own father, he also has his own ambitions, and a child always wants to surpass his father.
He also wanted to become the chief of the Knights of Light beside the Cardinal.
So he did not remind Hur and expose Jamil's plan.
Jamil had long known the character of the current church members. There were still some real ascetics, but the vast majority were those who had been corrupted.
These guys are used to being high and mighty, so they are bound to cause trouble, and Huidun is a typical noble, and he also has a grudge against the church.
So in Jamil's imagination, after these knights did things they shouldn't have done, Huidun would definitely use his noble authority to directly bypass the administrative authority and confront Hull and Qusai behind him.
In fact, neither of them is in the right, and the matter will eventually be brought to the attention of higher-ups.
And now the king is very concerned about Huidun, so in the end, with the king's participation, both sides will be punished with fifty lashes each, and it is natural to think that Huidun will be punished less severely.
After this, Qusai lost the king's trust, and his position as cardinal became unstable.
The final outcome for Huidun may be that he loses the right to compete for the succession, and is recalled to the capital to become an idle person.
In this way, his mission was perfectly completed. Then the superiors saw Qu Sai's incompetence, and his strength was not much weaker than Qu Sai, and he was also brave and resourceful. In the end, that position was his.
Even if Qusai still has the support of the elders behind him, it is absolutely impossible for a clergyman who has openly lost the trust of the local king to serve as the cardinal of the local kingdom.
The reason why it is done openly is because most smart people know that the kings of these kingdoms have never trusted these cardinals.
And when he gains greater power, Huidun, the hostile kid towards him, will be dead.
It can be said that in Jamil's mind at this moment, he has already deduced the outcome of future events based on the personalities of both parties and the forces behind them.
And Jamil will be the biggest beneficiary.
Although all this sounds a bit childish and frivolous, as if these powerful people have no political sense at all like children.
However, many of the core reasons for major political events in history seem to be trivial. In order to make such trivial reasons reach the extreme, it is necessary to make far-fetched inferences and directly touch the weak points in the hearts of these powerful people.
And this time Jamil made good use of this.
If it weren't for Moss XIII's change of attitude towards Wisdom Shield, Jamil would never have done these things.
Today, Huidun can be said to have been recognized by the royal family. His guards who represent the royal orthodoxy are also on the way. Perhaps they can directly confront Hull and others in subsequent conflicts.
As Huidun has royal status, everything that happens to him represents the royal family and also represents the face of Moss XIII.
As the highest person in charge of the church in the Kingdom of Moss, Qusai must safeguard the fundamental interests of the church.
The church’s interest was to use religion to suppress imperial power, and ultimately to allow the kingdoms on the continent to integrate politics and religion.
As one of the kingdoms on the continent, the Kingdom of Moss is naturally part of the plan, and in the plan, the heretic prince Huidun is the target that must be eliminated.
So no matter how trivial the reason for this incident is, when the additional identities of both parties are truly involved, everything will become a fight to the death.
It can be said that Jamil's frivolous plan perfectly reflects his cunningness and arrogance.
He thought he had taken everyone into account, and even if the church elders were to die in the end, the position of cardinal would still be his.
But he would never have thought that a little slave who was not cared about would cause a flaw in his perfect plan because of his words.
He calculated Huidun's character perfectly, but he didn't know that Huidun would also grow. He would change from an aristocrat who felt inferior to others to a leader who could listen to the opinions of those around him.
