Boss Cha took a few deep breaths and glared at Alan again.
Although this idea is bold and a bad one, if we really compare the results...
The house that she had poured her decades of hard work into was gone just like that... The blow to the queen was much greater than the divorce between her brothers and sisters!
This was too bold a thing, even Boss Cha was frightened by Alan's idea.
And it’s too difficult to operate.
This is a stone castle, a battle fortress made of granite.
It's hard to start a small fire in a house like this, let alone a small one. If you really want to make it burn, it's not easy to do. If you do it without any scruples, the other construction workers around are not fools, and the guards here are not fools either!
Unless... there is an insider!
Thinking of the accomplice, Boss Cha was suddenly stunned.
Who is the person in charge of the castle restoration work now?
It's him!
In other words, if Alan wants to carry out this plan and needs an insider, then the most suitable candidate to be the insider is... himself.
I am myself?
He was going to personally take that bastard Allen with him and burn down his own house?
???
…
Seeing that Boss Cha was in a dilemma, Allen prepared to make another move to boost his confidence. He couldn't be timid at this time and had to be resolute!
"Your Highness... Think about it, we are not forcing the Queen to abdicate. We are just trying to help her through some inappropriate methods. Her Majesty is old. People of her age are traveling abroad with their loved ones and younger generations to enjoy their old age. And what about Her Majesty? She has worked hard all her life. Shouldn't she take a rest now?"
"And Your Highness... you already have the ability to handle these matters. Instead of wasting your time, why can't you help His Majesty and take the initiative to share the burden?"
"Your Highness... since you like philosophy, then... from a philosophical point of view, lies are bad, but sometimes, white lies are very important. We can't just judge right from wrong based on one thing, that would be too one-sided. We have to look at right from wrong in the long run. Although doing so may bring a little bit of a blow to Your Majesty in the short term, it will only make Your Majesty realize that it's time for her to transfer some of her power and take a rest. In this way, in the long run, this will be a good thing for both Your Majesty and Your Highness!"
…
Boss Cha just stared at Allen in a daze. He could discern Allen's purpose from what he said. From the perspective of a vested interest, Allen was doing this for his own good, and he understood.
But everything made him hesitate. What if the Queen found out?
Just like what Alan's father did?
Um?
Thinking of this... Boss Cha rejected it in his mind again. Even Alan didn't know the inside story of that incident, but he knew very well that the nature of that incident and this incident were different. That incident was about brothers turning against each other. What Alan's father did then was different from what he is doing now. What he is doing now is more dangerous than before, but also more covert!
…
"Your Highness! If you don't take the initiative to fight for some things, it's not easy to rely on charity. Besides, I heard that Prince Andrew is very depressed after his recent divorce. If he interferes..."
Seeing that Boss Cha was still hesitating, Allen gritted his teeth and brought up Prince Andrew. Every time he mentioned him, Boss Cha seemed to have a stress response, and it always worked.
really……
When Boss Cha heard Andrew's name, he seemed to have made up his mind. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Allen fiercely, "Are you sure about this matter?"
"If it were before, I wouldn't be so sure, but now... I am very sure!"
Alan stared at Boss Cha with burning eyes, and everything was said without words.
The current chief supervisor is Boss Cha. He has all the construction party's information, construction schedule, castle guard duty schedule, etc. He is even familiar with every tree and blade of grass here. As long as Boss Cha is here, if Alan is still not sure, then all these years will have been lived in vain.
The key to doing this, in addition to giving Boss Cha a push, Alan also has some little ideas.
In this matter, the boss must cooperate with him. At the very least, the boss must provide him with various "information" and help him finish the matter. In this way...
Theoretically speaking, this matter became something that Allen forcibly "kidnapped" Boss Cha to do together.
If something goes wrong, the blame can be put on Boss Cha. Even if there is just a small mistake, Boss Cha will be more anxious than Alan!
In this way, the risk that Allen himself needs to bear will be smaller.
As long as Boss Cha takes this step, everything will be easy in the future.
At the very least... some things that were previously discussed under the table can now be brought to the surface and discussed openly. If the Queen's health is really impaired, even if she doesn't give up all her power, as long as she makes a breakthrough... then the rest will be easy!
…
Seeing that Alan really needed his help, Boss Cha took a deep breath.
"Tell me what you need..."
"!!!"
Allen was delighted, but he remained calm on the surface. He pointed to the construction table on the table and said, "Your Highness... I need the personnel list and schedule of these construction parties. I also need the guards' duty hours and personnel list. As for the rest... the more detailed the better."
"Take it!"
Since he was going to do it and had made up his mind, Boss Cha did not hesitate and directly threw the report in his hand to Alan. This was the original copy!
"ah?"
Allen took the thing thrown by Boss Cha, and he was a little confused...
According to the normal plot, shouldn't a copy of the file be made?
Boss Cha just threw the original to him, this...
This insider is really good and did a great job.
Boss Cha finally stood up!
"I'll send someone to deliver the rest of the information to you. If you need anything else, please contact me directly..."
Boss Cha looked at Allen with complicated eyes, and finally thought about the photo Allen had just seen on the table and said, "Take this back and show it to William..."
Since we have to burn them...who knows if these things can be preserved?
Boss Cha doesn't care about these things, but he still cares about this old photo of their family of four. He wants to take this opportunity to give the photo to Alan, using the excuse of asking him to take it back to show William and keep it.
…
"Ah... yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it right away?"
Alan stood up, unbuttoned his shirt, hid the information inside his clothes in front of his boss, then reached out and picked up the photo frame on the table.
"Go ahead..."
Boss Cha seemed tired and waved his hand irritably, signaling Alan to get out.
When Allen walked to the door, Boss Cha suddenly realized that he and Allen had not made an appointment!
With Alan's personality, if he just started working without saying anything... this guy sent someone to burn this place down while I was working here...
It doesn’t matter whether the queen will be angry by then. What matters is that he will be the first one to be hurt.
If a monarch was burned to death in his own study room by his own confidant due to an accidental arson, it would be a strange story for the ages!
If he investigates his boss, he will be laughed at by future generations for hundreds of years!
"etc!"
Thinking of this, Boss Cha quickly called Allen, and in Allen's puzzled eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Before you do anything, call me in advance and leave me some time to react. I'll be working here these days!"
"Yes... Your Highness, don't worry!"
Allen didn't think about it at all. He thought that Boss Cha was getting scared again. He agreed and turned his head, and subconsciously pouted...
…
Sitting in the car on the way back to London Manor, Alan looked at the fallen leaves on the roadside outside the window. He was very excited.
Master Allen is finally able to do something big. He wants to burn down Windsor Castle!
This behavior... To shift the focus to the Qing Dynasty, it would be no less than the burning of the Qianqing Palace. It’s exciting just to think about it!
It's just that he agreed very readily in front of Boss Cha just now, but now it comes to what to do specifically, Alan is still a little worried.
He wanted to fly back to Wales right now and arrange personnel as soon as possible, but he stopped the idea as soon as it came to his mind.
This behavior is so abnormal!
If you want to do something bad, you have to do it secretly, and you can't let anyone know after you're done. It's best if you can stand up and condemn the criminal openly, so that you have the experience of committing a crime. Doing it openly is not called doing a bad thing, and it will seem like you have no experience at all.
So...from this moment on, Alan felt that he should first pay attention to his words and actions and the logic of his behavior, so as to avoid being exposed during the subsequent investigation.
Nothing can happen suddenly. At least tonight should be calm and follow the plan.
…
"Shi Tou, go and make some arrangements when you get back. I want to have dinner with Madam Renee and learn about the latest situation of the department store. Ask her to prepare in advance."
Alan planned to call Mrs. Renee over to ask about the matter at Harrods as originally planned.
But it’s just like this now... He felt that it was still a little insufficient. With his usual personality, after talking about work, he would have to do something fun in the evening, right?
Alan thought for a moment and then explained, "By the way... Is Kate attending classes in London today?"
"Master... I can't read the notebook now. When we return to the manor, I will check the records. If Miss Kate is in London today, should we arrange for someone to pick her up at the manor in the evening?"
"Make the arrangements. Also... send someone back quietly tonight and ask Hu Te to call me tomorrow and tell him that there is an emergency at home and he needs me to go back to handle it."
Little Stone, who was driving, keenly sensed something different in this sentence.
If the young master really had something to go back for, why would he wait until night to secretly send someone back to pass on the message, and then ask Butler Hut to call here tomorrow to ask him to go back?
Thinking that even the carefree young master was so cautious, Shao Shitou said with a serious face: "Yes... I will select the most capable people to go back at night, young master, don't worry."
"Um."
…
Everything was as usual. After returning to his estate in London from Windsor Castle that day, Alan met with Lady Renee and picked up Kate, the little bombshell, in the evening. They had a happy night together and left London the next afternoon. He got in the car... just like when he went back to Wales before, he took a small convoy of bodyguards, took the original route, and slowly returned to Wales.
Even when he returned home, Allen greeted William and Harry who had just returned, and had dinner with them. Then he called Hutt and the two of them went to the study to discuss things.
…
"I need to do something now. It's very dangerous... But for His Highness, I have to do it! Huth... I need you to give me some advice."
In the study, after the two of them sat down in turn, Alan said solemnly with a gloomy face.
Allen deliberately made the atmosphere very solemn. Hutt was a very traditional person. He was a good housekeeper, but sometimes he was timid...
You have to show enough "righteousness" to put pressure on him so that he can do his job well.
"Master, you say."
Hut adjusted his sitting position slightly and waited quietly for Alan's next words.
…
"I need a... assassin to do something, but I am a little hesitant about the candidate. He cannot be from our family, at least not from the castle. He must be a stranger, but he must be reliable! Can you recommend one to me?"
Hut frowned, glanced at Alan and asked softly: "Master... after he completes this task..."
At this point, Hut made a gesture with his right hand on his neck, which roughly meant that after this person had done what he did, should he kill him to silence him? If so, there was no need for that. With the resources in the mansion, they could still gather a few such assassins.
"No! This matter... after he finishes it, he will die together. You can understand it as suicide, so I want this person to be loyal enough and not afraid of death."
"this……"
Such a person... the requirements are very high. Being silenced and being willing to die are not of the same order of magnitude. Such a death warrior must be a stranger, not the people in the castle. This difficulty...
Hut closed his eyes and thought for several minutes. Suddenly... an inspiration flashed through his mind, and he remembered what happened when his young master went to Australia. According to records, when the young master went to Australia for a "filming" vacation, he attended a banquet hosted by the Governor-General of Australia. At that time, the Governor-General of Australia specially invited a very unexpected person to the banquet. That person's ancestor was sent to Australia from Wales by the previous earl.
At that time, Allen did not talk much with the man who claimed to be his old retainer. Firstly, he was not familiar with him, and secondly... the gap in status between them was too big, and there was nothing much to talk about. He only remembered that the old guy was very excited when he saw him.
But when Hut investigated afterwards, he checked the family's records and according to them, this incident did happen.
It should have been the 18th century, that is, early 1788.
At that time, the Earl received a request for help from Captain Arthur Phillip and specially sent several guards to follow the captain to Australia to provide "technical guidance" on how Australia should deal with local rebellions.
Later... Captain Arthur Phillip arrived in Australia with the first group of criminals exiled to Australia and the Hill family's guards and foreign aid, and then... became the first governor.
Later, some of these guards had no followers, while others settled down in the local area and spread out to other families.
If it is really as the information says, then this small family can be used at this critical moment.
But the prerequisite is that the young master must make a promise and have enough "benefits", such as...
