Now that it was confirmed that it was the Pazzi family who made the move, the matter became much simpler. Francis packed up his things and went out again—Francesco lives in Florence, less than four streets away.

Since he was not sure how many people in the "black leather shoes" betrayed him and how many people took money from the Patch family, he thought it would be a wise choice for him not to go back for the time being. The most important thing is that he can completely trust Leonardo and tell him everything. Even Francis, who is not very smart, knows that when these smart people judge, speculate, and plan something, they always take The more information you get, the better.

But if you hire a group of thinkers, they can indeed make up for each other's thinking and speech... But as long as one of them can't believe it, Francis can't get all the information. lofty. He'd tested the same information before with his wise men before handing it to Leonardo. Looking back afterwards, it is true that Leonardo's plans and inferences are always more correct.

On weekdays, the information collected by his gang would always be given to Leonardo. On the one hand, I asked him to do a check to see if he had any selfish intentions; on the other hand, although his brother warned him many times, don't let Leonardo get in touch with these obscene things, which would distract and delay him. His... can... However, Francis always felt that Leonardo had more talent than he showed.

He has no evidence, just a hunch. Up to now, he has no one else to trust, nor can he get any help. Francis even dared to bet that as long as he escaped from Florence alone, he would be intercepted by the second wave of assassins before arriving in Vinci Town. Francesco, that guy, is usually very low-key. So much so that Francis forgot about this person for a while.

But when Leonardo mentioned his name, Francis realized that this was the "Pazzi" who killed his cousin to murder others.

after that. Francesco de Pazzi suddenly disappeared. Even newspapers no longer publish any news about him. Although his name is still occasionally heard in normal times, Francesco seems to be no longer valued by the family.

However, the moment Leonardo mentioned the name, Francis also suddenly realized why he had a very shallow impression of Francesco. It's quite possible that the Patsys just wanted the sheep effect, which made Francis feel creepy. He immediately believed the statement that "Jacob was just a fall victim." Of course, even if he believed in Leonardo. Judgment... He also planned to make some preparations for Jacob, who was about to rush to Florence, so as to welcome his arrival.

No Patsy is unlucky.

Francis stubbornly believes that the blood of madness and selfishness always flows in the body of the Pazzi family. They don't care about anything, even family and personal glory can be thrown away after use. On the contrary, they are proud of this, and they should always praise their "practical and hard work" and "pragmatism". Although compared with the Borgia family who are good at disguising and always pretending to be themselves, the calm and unscrupulous attitude of the Pazzi family is better... But in Francis’ opinion, the two “remember to go to lunch. His understanding of Francis, Francis must have been unable to eat after the execution of the traitor. Francis judged that this person always likes to think too much, but his brain is not smart enough, which makes it easy for him to get into the horns. "You have to eat your food." When fighting, you won't suddenly soften your hands. Francis paused, then nodded silently. At this moment, Master Verrocchio also recovered a bit. He stood up tremblingly, and whispered to Francis: I will protect little Leonardo. You remember to protect yourself. "

In fact, I think it should be Leonardo protecting you, the master. Francis thought for a moment, but still did not say this directly. He just asked, "Master, pay attention to your students. There may be a traitor among them.

I probably know who it is.

Master Verrocchio shook his head and said bluntly: "Let me handle this matter, Francis.

"Listen to you, Master."

Francis was silent for a moment, then shrugged.

After he left, Leonardo raised his head and said with a light smile, "He thought you were protecting me, Master."

"Francis has always been such a simple, good boy.

"Even if he kills people, mutilates corpses, and buys and sells arms?"

"It's much cleaner than those people," Master Verrocchio said in a low voice. "They're not just stained with blood. At least Francis still has a passion for justice and a heart full of compassion.

"Justice is nothing more... Compassion is useless." Leonardo said lightly: "People always want fairness, and always hope that they are happy. But they don't know that the balance in this world is always tilted, and they can't always know what is happiness." Although the balance in this world will not always be fair, I think it is roughly equal...

Master Verrocchio just wanted to continue, but he thought of Leonardo, and then fell silent again. Leonardo just chuckled and closed the notebook written by Master Verrocchio. He turned sideways and said calmly, "It's the unfortunate people who can say such things."

"Why are you always so good?"

Master Verrocchio paused, and said in a somewhat complicated manner, "Is this also your talent?"

"It's the necessary talent plus persistent hard work."

"Occasionally I miss the more practical work, the work that directly affects the fate of other people... but I also want to appreciate life and understand everything.

I have so many things I want to do. But I sometimes worry, how long will the life I have last? In my life, how much time can I live for myself? What work do I have to do, what things must be done by me, and who are waiting for me. "

Having said that, Leonardo suddenly stopped.

behind him. Master Verrocchio shook his head in admiration: "I really can't believe that you are only fifteen years old this year, Leonardo. I even doubt that you are the condensed truth of Solomon's will... You are the Holy Father scholars?"

Leonardo looked at Verrocchio and chuckled softly, "Solomon will not be the true father."

"If there is really a true father in this world, then it will only be time."
