Hathaway knew that the province of Cleveland must not be in chaos now. Once chaos breaks out, it will definitely trigger turmoil in the officialdom of the entire empire, which may even affect the deployment of the Dragon Legion's troops.
That was a national war, and there was no room for failure.
But these Weilin clone officials in front of them have completely forgotten how they were overthrown by the people. They even took so much donations from the people. You can imagine how much money and food they have withheld from the Ministry of Finance! Now they are not caring about the overall situation of the national war.
Regardless of the life and death of the people!
Your Majesty is right, the old nobles are all worms in the empire.
If possible, Hathaway would like to cut them all into pieces!
However, the real problem is that, hampered by this group of corrupt and law-breaking officials, he cannot even complete the errands assigned by Aslan. If it affects the national war, she will become a sinner of the empire!
"Okay, okay! Wellin, this team leader has learned a lot about civil administration!"
Hathaway's heart was bleeding. She had vowed to start a career and pave the way for entering the palace in the future. If she was not careful in this matter, it might become an indelible stain in her life.
"It is a task entrusted by His Majesty to gather all the forces of Weilinklon to devote to disaster relief. If this team leader cannot complete it, he will fail His Majesty and the people, and at worst, he will commit suicide and apologize. But how can you stay out of it? The Fifth Integrity Bureau has just dealt with the former Wei
City Supervisor Lin Klon killed the front and rear logistics director. As long as this team leader reports the situation to the Fifth Integrity Bureau, aren't you afraid of the investigation by the Fifth Integrity Bureau?"
Alack seemed to have expected that Hathaway would move out of the Fifth Integrity Bureau to scare them. Now he didn't show any fear at all, but instead laughed:
“The Fifth Integrity Bureau has been newly established and is severely understaffed. We can’t just remove all the officials from the Wellyn City Hall and put them in jail, right?
"If we are gone, who will be responsible for the public affairs of Wellynklon? Disaster relief work is urgent. If the city hall is empty at this time, I am afraid that more people in the disaster area will die."
With Alac so confident, Hathaway was extremely sad and angry.
"The Fifth Integrity Bureau cannot deal with the entire city hall civil servants, so why can't it behead all the civil servants in your logistics department? To set an example!"
Alak's eyes changed, he was obviously lacking in confidence, but he quickly thought of something, and he tilted his eyes at Hathaway and said in a strange tone:
"Leader Hathaway, don't forget that the dragon invasion is imminent, and the casualties caused by the earthquake are still increasing! The main force of the Fifth Integrity Bureau is in Cleveland, and there is no spare power to support here. I don't know if you still have confidence.
, disposed of the entire logistics department?"
"what do you mean?!"
Hathaway couldn't bear it any longer, so she used her mage's hand to grab Alak's neck and lift him in the air.:
"You are threatening. Believe it or not, I will kill you for serious corruption and punish you all over the house! The most I can do is escape back to the imperial capital in despair. Believe it or not, nothing will happen to me after I return!"
This is Hathaway's last threat. They, the old nobles, are more precious than anyone else. As long as they dare to risk their lives, they don't dare to gamble with their wealth and lives.
Alak didn't struggle, a flash of panic flashed across his face, and then he calmed down.
As long as you suppress this matter, others will definitely find ways to protect you. Once you expose the matter, the entire city hall will be over.
Alak looked at Hathaway contemptuously: "Team Leader Hathaway, your current behavior will only make people think that you are venting your anger and looking for a scapegoat, which will not work at all."
The most powerful thing about the nobles is not the size of their territory, nor the size of their private army. The real trouble is the tangled and dense network of relationships.
The Elak family may not have a mentor-level expert. In his network, there is no guarantee that no in-law family has a mentor-level expert. As long as there is a mentor-level expert on duty, the special investigation team must think carefully before taking action.
If the old aristocrats in the city hall unite their forces, even the special investigation team will not be able to gain any benefits.
After all, the special investigation team does not have that many people this time. There is no Grand Mentor-level expert, and there are only four Mentor-level masters, including Hathaway.
In the absence of external mentor-level experts, it is enough to suppress the entire Wellin clone.
Only if there are more than six mentor-level masters from Welinclone, they can suppress the special investigation team.
Even if Hathaway wanted to kill Alak, it would not be an easy task.
Ailak said he didn't dare, but his unruly expression made it clear what he meant.
Hathaway also understood that unless he had the ultimate power to deal with them with thunderous force, the people in the city hall would not dare to disobey, so that the disaster relief could be carried out smoothly.
Even though Hathaway wanted to kill Alak with 10,000 hearts, she could only let him go at this moment.
Hathaway shook her body and took two steps back uncontrollably. Hathaway, who had lost most of her energy, couldn't help but feel sad.
Combining all her previous experiences, she finally understood why the Kingdom of Cleveland, which was clearly at the peak of its prosperity, became so vulnerable after the rise of Aslan.
The old aristocracy was greedy and regarded the people as ants, and their hearts were corrupt. Facing a powerful army that was deeply loved by the people, what could the old aristocracy do to resist? The destruction of the old kingdom was already doomed...
Now the new bureaucrats like Ailak still continue the traditional character of the old aristocrats. They have no heart for the country and the people. They only think about their own power and money. No matter how powerful the empire is, if these moths cannot be removed as soon as possible, sooner or later it will corrode the entire empire.
empire.
If there had been no invasion by powerful foreign enemies, the empire might have lasted for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, just like the Kingdom of Cleveland back then.
No wonder His Majesty has devoted himself wholeheartedly to developing people's intelligence and improving national education in recent years.
"The people of the current empire are undoubtedly the best people in the history of the mainland, but the old aristocrats are the most vicious group in history. The old aristocrats once owned territories, and the people in the territories were their wealth. They would not exploit them too much. Now they will not
We need to consider the sustainable development of our people. They completely let go of their bottom line and focus on making money, regardless of the suffering of the people!"
Thinking of this, Hathaway looked up at the sky, but what she saw was the dark beams and roofs, which were so dense and solid that they blocked her eyes, like a dome covering the sky, leaving no one to hide and no one to see at all.
The sun outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside the house, but Hathaway felt that she was in a long dark night, and could not see any hope in the depressing and chaotic world.
After a long time, Hathaway slowly regained her composure. She had decided that at most she would accomplish nothing and flee back to the imperial capital in disgrace. She could not let these guys continue to harm the foundation of the empire.
