Chapter 1590 1591: The following overcomes the superior
Alak, who was kneeling on the ground, exchanged glances with everyone again, finally made up his mind, looked up at Hathaway, and said resolutely:
"Sir Hathaway has just arrived in Welwynclone and wants to establish prestige. All subordinates can understand. However, if Lord Hathaway wants to accuse us of being corrupt and perverting the law for her own selfish reasons, my subordinates can only
Give it a try!"
The other officials responded together: "Please, Lord Hathaway, take back your order!"
Hathaway's expression changed and she said, "You have been corrupt and perverting the law. The facts are all there, and now you still want to make excuses?"
Alak actually sneered: "Ms. Hathaway is wrong. The number of things in the warehouse is all a matter of the former logistics director Brutt and has nothing to do with his subordinates. How long has it been since we took over the warehouse?
"
"The reason why there are two ledgers is also Brut's fault, and his subordinates were not involved. Based on these alone, Lord Hathaway wants to accuse us of embezzlement. Isn't it too harsh?"
Other officials immediately echoed: "It's all Brut's fault, we didn't know anything about it!"
Hathaway understood that city hall officials were preparing to abandon Bluett and let him take the blame alone.
Hathaway stared at Alak: "Alak, do you think that without the ledger for sharing the stolen goods, this team leader can't do anything to you?"
"It's easy to find the missing materials from the warehouse. You just need to send someone to check, and they will be clear soon! Even if you sell some of them, the underground black market in Wellyn Clone City has all been taken over by the special investigation team.
Don’t you think you still have a chance?”
Ailak chuckled twice, his expression became calm, and he calmly said:
"If Lord Hathaway really wants to do this, she will be an enemy of everyone in Welwynclone City Hall. You have just arrived and have no foundation here. Things are really getting out of hand, not to mention who loses and who wins. If
Wellinglon is in chaos and has hindered the overall disaster relief. Can Lord Hathaway bear the responsibility for this?"
As soon as this statement came out, other officials looked at Hathaway with mocking faces.
Things have gotten out of hand, and they are no longer afraid of Hathaway, the commander of the Imperial Capital Investigation Team.
Either way, it's death, and in the worst case, Hathaway will die with him.
"Shut up! Are you worthy of mentioning disaster relief?!" Hathaway was shocked and angry after being threatened like this.
But when it came to the current situation, he calmed down, but with a murderous look in his eyes: "There are so many officials at the Welinklon City Hall, will they all follow you, the logistics director, to fight against the team leader?"
Ailak smiled even more teasingly, with full confidence: "Confrontation! You are the superior, we can't afford it. After the establishment of the empire, the territory was nationalized. The days of those mud-legged people are getting better and better, but the days of us old nobles are getting worse and worse.
The worse."
"Mr. Hathaway has lived in the imperial capital for a long time. Don't you know that people need to be on the same page in the officialdom? Officials don't eat meat, just like telling tigers not to eat people. Tigers have sharp claws, so they are destined to eat people. Officials have
Power means eating meat. This is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, and even God’s presence cannot change it!”
"We don't give the account books to Mr. Hathaway, not because we are afraid that Mr. Hathaway will accuse her based on the facts, but because we don't want to offend our colleagues in the city hall and make ourselves the target of public criticism."
"Ms. Hathaway wants to use this to deal with us. It is undoubtedly out of the blue. Our colleagues are not grateful to us and will stand on our side to protect themselves!"
No matter how determined Hathaway was, she couldn't help but feel frightened when she heard Airak's weighty words.
Originally thinking that she had beheaded Brut and escorted the Mayor of Wellinglon, Hathaway thought that she had shocked these young people, but she did not expect that the shock was a deterrent, but the effect was not as expected.
What he didn't expect even more was that none of the civil servants at the Welinglon City Hall were clean. They were all shady, so they had nothing to fear!
Hathaway used to be in the aristocratic circle, and she had already taken it for granted that the aristocrats worked together to intimidate the emperor. At that time, the emperor would support officials with civilian backgrounds to compete with the aristocrats.
He had never encountered a situation like Welinklon's where everyone in the city hall was corrupt and took bribes, and yet they dared to stand in a group and bully the superiors.
He has no roots in Velingron. Although he brought a special investigation team this time, they mainly use force and can easily suppress the municipal government.
If the entire city hall civil servants give up, Hathaway will really be blinded.
Now she is almost parachuted alone. When encountering such a dangerous situation, she has no power to rely on. How can she not be frustrated if she wants to endanger the interests of everyone?
Alak looked at Hathaway's ugly face and felt happy. He felt that this was a way to give the new superior official a better blow. For this reason, he no longer had to half-cover his face with his pipa, so he said bluntly:
:
"Sir Hathaway is a newly arrived Shangguan. We should take care of you. If we were not here at this time but at the banquet, we wouldn't have these troubles, and Master Hathaway can also see us.
In respect of your sincerity, we will never be short of half of the benefits you deserve.
"Lord Hathaway wants to make a difference in Wellyn's appointment, so naturally we will obey her orders. In the current earthquake, even if we are asked to run around day and night, we will not complain. But Lord Hathaway
If our jobs are to be destroyed, we have no choice.
"I hope Lady Hathaway will understand our hard work and difficulties."
Being taught and warned by Alak in front of him, Hathaway, as everyone's boss, had his face trampled under his feet. You can imagine the humiliation and anger in his heart.
But what the other person said was actually reality.
He wanted to fight against the entire Wellinglon City Hall on his own, but it was indeed beyond his power.
Hathaway regretted why she did not bring a large number of civilian staff. It would be too embarrassing and would be looked down upon by others if she applied for manpower from the headquarters now.
This was a great shame and humiliation for Hathaway, who was determined to do something big.
Thinking of Aslan's expectations for herself before returning to the imperial capital, Hathaway felt a fire burning in her heart.
The dragon army appeared again, and the United Magic Empire and the Eastern Divine Theocracy repeatedly asked for help. The overall situation was critical. In order to avoid a major defeat of the two countries, the mainland was invaded by the dragon.
The Merlox Empire must send troops. In order to stabilize the situation and ensure that the old nobles in the empire will not take the opportunity to cause chaos, the Province of Cleveland must suppress it with thunderous means and ensure that the Province of Cleveland can operate normally. Among them, the Welin clone is the most critical. If there is a slight mistake,
, will trigger a collective rebellion among the old aristocrats of Cleveland Province.
When that time comes, even if all the old nobles are suppressed, it will not help.
