The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

Italy, Milan.

A team of white knights entered the city of Milan, and the local mayor Gabriel Cassati warmly received them.

Gabriel Cassati didn't know what the emperor's envoys were doing, but he liked the current policy of the empire.

Gabriel felt that Franz II was a genius, because even in the days after his death, the policy did not need to be changed at all.

In fact, within the Austrian Empire, Count Korolav and Prince Metternich had been arguing endlessly, resulting in the delay in the adoption of new policies, and Emperor Ferdinand I was neither capable nor willing to interfere with national policies.

Gabriel Cassati’s idea is very simple. He thinks that a good policy can make everyone make money. He can’t understand why some people always like to compare with the Hungarians, and he doesn’t understand why some people always want to squeeze into Vienna. I don't even understand why anyone misses Napoleon.

Gabriel Cassati was an industrial and commercial aristocrat. He remembered that during the Napoleonic period, the French took all the money and food, and took away a whole generation of young people.

Although later generations spoke highly of the Napoleonic Wars, in the eyes of the people at that time, Napoleon took away everything from them.

Before the Napoleonic Wars, Northern Italy was one of the richest regions in Europe. After the Napoleonic Wars, Northern Italy fell into famine and riots.

This situation did not improve until the last few years of Franz II's reign. At that time, there were consecutive good years, and Marshal Radetzky took office, and the old general repeatedly attacked the rebels. Let the rebels no longer dare to cross the border easily.

Afterwards, Austria's entry into the German Customs Union opened up new markets for Italy and also provided sufficient funds for the army.

At the banquet, Gabriel raised his glass and said.

"To the great emperor Ferdinand I, may your majesty be in good health and live a long life."

In fact, Gabriel had no other meaning, but it was extremely harsh to the ears of the Austrian investigation team.

Ferdinand I's physical condition has nothing to do with his health, and no one wants him to live a long life.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Gabriel decided to talk about business first.

"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

"We were ordered to investigate the attack on Captain Anton von Radetzky. We need to know the location of the Delmunda Abbey and the identity of the attacker."

Gabriel naturally knew the location of the Delmanda Monastery and the identities of the attackers, but he thought it was time to end all of this.

"Well, gentlemen, you may not know that Field Marshal Radetzky has no intention of pursuing the matter."

"Oh no, Mr. Mayor, this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor. Captain Anton von Radetzky is an imperial officer. He serves the Empire. He is a subject of His Majesty. We are obliged to protect his right."

"It's said that Captain Anton did it first."

"But we heard that Captain Anton was only performing official duties to stop the other party from promoting treason."

Gabriel found it a little difficult to handle. Father Leonardo, as the dean of Delmunda Monastery, was a decent person in Milan, and those "assailants" were also decent people.

And the investigative team in Vienna brought the emperor's imperial order, which he could not prevaricate.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. There is always something wrong with the stomach in old age."

Gabriel got up and left, and Gabriel came back after a while, bringing back a group of dancing girls.

"Gentlemen, I am really sorry for not being with you just now. As compensation, I will let you have a taste of Italian style."

Mr. Mayor's kindness, even the investigation team in Vienna can't refuse, but Gabriel feels that the investigation team seems to be missing one person.

Delmunda Monastery.

"Damn the Austrians, tomorrow I will gather all the believers here, and I will see what they can do to me. Go back and tell Gabriel that I will not leave, and those Austrians should leave."

Afterwards, Father Leonardo closed the door heavily, and Gabriel's servant could only leave angrily, followed by a figure...

The investigative team from Vienna came to Milan to investigate the attack on Captain Anton, and word spread quickly in the city.

The taverns and coffee shops in the city were discussing this matter, and everyone speculated about the fate of Father Leonardo. Obviously, most people still sympathized with the local priest.

This was also the effect Gabriel wanted. He felt that the Austrians had no guts and would only bluff. Even the emperor could not disobey the will of the people.

After the investigation team obtained the identities of the five attackers, they asked the military police to post notices in the city, offering rewards for collecting the crimes of the five people.

This move immediately made the five attackers flustered, and even Gabriel didn't know what to do.

The five attackers could only choose to hide in the monastery in the end. After all, if the army broke into the monastery to arrest people, it would greatly affect the reputation of Habsburg.

Father Leonardo had gathered the believers together long ago. He knew very well that these peasants didn't understand anything, and they would do what he said. The imperial government couldn't do anything to him.

However, Franz had anticipated this a long time ago, and he had already made arrangements in advance. There was no morality for this kind of guy who likes to use ignorant masses as a shield.

Before that, a member of the investigation team visited the cafe ~www.novelmt.com~ where the incident happened to ask about the day.

The owner of the cafe didn't know the identity of the other party, so he boasted about Father Leonardo's deeds, and also revealed the fact that Father Leonardo was actually the owner of the cafe.

At first, the member of the investigative team pretended to be disbelieving, but was soon confirmed by the store staff and customers.

On the same day, the military police arrested the owner and clerk of the coffee shop. On the other hand, the five attackers can be said to have a lot of bad records, and the recorded crimes are simply heinous.

The investigation team felt that the time for arrest was ripe, so they came to the Delmanda Monastery with the evidence.

The crimes of Father Leonardo and those attackers were announced one by one. Father Leonardo had deposits of more than fifty thousand florins in three banks. He also ran a coffee shop and a brothel and had six lovers. A dozen illegitimate children...

What the investigation team did not expect was that believers in Father Leonardo's diocese also began to report Father Leonardo's evil deeds.

Including stealing other people's privacy when listening to others' confession, taking the opportunity to blackmail; forcing nuns to be his lover, etc...

Father Leonardo tried to escape, but was caught by angry parishioners who sent him to a square in Milan.

In the square, the evil deeds of the five attackers were revealed one by one. The investigative team announced the treason of the five attackers and sentenced them to hang. Two soldiers were awarded medals and pensions.

The personal property of the five attackers will be used as compensation for the victims.

Finally Field Marshal Radetzky issued the Emperor's order.

"The wicked should not be tolerated, and the good should not be wronged."

For some reason, someone shed tears of excitement at this time.
