There was silence under the city gate, and immediately there was a lot of chatter. Everyone knew that this time they would lose their skin if they didn't die, but it actually alarmed His Majesty, and it seemed that His Majesty was still very angry...
"Did you hit him?" A "sir" took a pen and began to question the infantry.
"No! How could I fight?" No one is an idiot.
"What about you! Honestly!" I couldn't ask, and the "superiors" started to show their noses and faces.
"Sir, my name is Daniel! I didn't fight!" This veteran was a first-class pretender.
"What's wrong with your face?" a "sir" asked.
"Report to the commander! It was dark and he fell on the ground!" Infantryman A replied.
"What's wrong with your forehead?" another "officer" asked.
"Report to the commander! It was dark and he hit the wall!" Infantryman B replied.
"Then? What's going on with you covering your little brother?" "Sir" asked again.
"Report to the commander! It's dark and I'm holding my urine!" Infantryman C replied.
"What does this have to do with the darkness?"
Finally, after a show of hands vote by all the "commanders", it was decided to take me and the guards away together. As for the other party, as long as they were not wearing armor, they would all be "one pot"!
"The army and nobles of our empire are becoming more and more promising!" His Majesty Creamer walked slowly back and forth in front of the palace square, with a smile on his face. "Not only did they fight at the gate of the Holy Capital, but they also
The whole Holy City is in chaos. Great job! But how do you plan to end it?"
There were more than twenty of us standing on the right side of the square. Some had bruises on their noses, some had swollen faces, and some had gaping teeth and cracked mouths. Almost all of us were "colorful." On our left, there were all infantrymen without armor, a mass of black, three or four of them.
One hundred people. Most of them were standing, and a small half were carried on stretchers. The team leader, who was still in a coma, was also carried here. His naked body was wrapped in a white sheet that he found from nowhere.
She looked as miserable as a weak girl who had just been insulted by a hundred or so big men...
A group of ministers remained silent, fearing that the fire would burn them. My father also stood with his face as usual and said nothing.
"Then." His Majesty Creamer put away his smile, "Governor Cohen Keda! Please tell me what's going on first."
"Good evening, Your Majesty. Here's the thing." After being slapped on the face several times, he spoke a little unnaturally, "I have chosen the site of the Dark City, and I am eager to come back to report to Your Majesty. I have been sleeping in the open air for several days.
I rushed to the Holy Capital without stopping, but the infantry at the city gate refused to let me enter the city!"
"Then what?"
"I argued hard. But that guy said he could let me into the city, but he asked me to give him a tip of 5 silver coins per person according to the number of people!" Under the special training from my previous life, I lied and my breathing was steady and my heartbeat was normal.
, "If I don't give it, the quarrel turns into a fight! They sound the alarm."
As soon as I finished speaking, the ministers stared at each other in an uproar. A small infantry captain dared to blackmail the governor! Someone on the spot suggested that the entire infantry team should be "clicked".
"Is there such a thing?" His Majesty Creamer remained calm and asked the officials of the City Defense Department, "Tell me about it."
"Back to Your Majesty!" said the "Sir" on duty at the city defense department who was the first to arrive. "I was the first to arrive after hearing the alarm bell. I only saw Governor Cohen hanging the stripped infantry captain upside down on the city gate and beating him severely.
. What Governor Cohen said earlier was unknown to me. I wanted to stop them first, so Governor Cohen beat me as well."
"It's unfair! We didn't! It's just that the captain didn't let them in when it was time to close the city gate!"
"Your Majesty! It is impossible for our city defense infantry to do this!"
"Why is it impossible? What can't you do if you beat the nobles?"
"Yes, Governor Cohen." The left minister obviously thought of something, "Even if it is as you said before, why did you fight with the city defense officials on duty?"
"Dear left prime minister," I asked sincerely, "do you think I am a mentally disturbed person?"
"Ah?" The left prime minister didn't know what I wanted to do and didn't respond. He shook his head blankly.
"Since you admit that I am not insane, if you can avoid beating me," I continued, "Why should I fight with hundreds of people? Do I need exercise because of my indigestion? The people who came here started the fight first!"
"But Governor Cohen!" someone among the ministers asked, "how do you prove that the infantry captain blackmailed you?"
"How to prove it?" I touched my chin, pretending to be angry, "I am a noble and a governor. You don't believe what I say, so what else can I say? There is no proof!"
"Governor Cohen." His Majesty said to me, "Don't be like this. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
"Your Majesty, this is how it is. We were forced to take action." I began to pretend to be innocent, pitiful, elegant, and well-behaved in a serious manner. "Now if you want me to get evidence, how can I get it? Apart from us, there are no other people in the city gate.
Of course they can say whatever they want!"
"Don't be anxious yet." His Majesty comforted me very cooperatively, "The matter can be investigated."
His Majesty turned his head slightly and looked at the cavalry general stationed outside the city, "Tell me, what did you see?"
"Back to Your Majesty!" the cavalry general straightened up, "I don't know who is in front of me! When I arrived, I saw hundreds of infantrymen and about twenty people fighting in the corridor of the city gate!"
"Didn't see anything else?"
"there is none left!"
"Well..." His Majesty said to the ministers, "What do you think of this matter?"
"Your Majesty," said the Left Prime Minister who was the first to speak, "It stands to reason that the infantry of the city defense department can never blackmail the nobles. Your Majesty, please pay attention to this."
"Not necessarily?" Father finally spoke, "Your Majesty, if the infantry did not blackmail Cohen, then why did Cohen fight with hundreds of people when there were only twenty or so guards? Also, when the city defense officials arrived,
At that time, not only was it not stopped, but the scene became even more chaotic. This at least shows that even if the city defense infantry did not blackmail Cohen, the city defense officials' ability to control them was very poor! What kind of commander leads what kind of soldiers, only twenty or so
One person just used the alarm bell, causing panic in the entire Holy City. Hundreds of people couldn't defeat more than 20 people. It's simply incompetent to the extreme!"
There is no expression on my face, but I am happy in my heart. Dad is dad, and it is not easy once he takes action. But dad, it is not easy to fight hundreds of people. Can you hurry up? Didn't you see?
?It hurts me to stand for so long!
"Your Majesty." An infantryman who knew the inside story was pushed forward by the "sir", "The alarm was raised because they rushed through the city gate. We couldn't beat them because the city gate was too narrow, and we only had a few dozen people who could face them face to face.
"
"We rushed through the city gate?" I shouted, "Tens of thousands of eyes saw us in the city gate passage! Your Majesty, these guys are still playing tricks!"
"Are you being naughty? Let's not talk about it. The city gate is too narrow? Do you want me to order the city gate to be enlarged and let you attack it again? Idiot!" His Majesty fiddled with the gemstone ring on the ring finger of his right hand with the little finger of his left hand, "I don't regret it at all.
He has no consciousness! Pull this infantryman down and beat him with thirty sticks!"
"Your Majesty!" The left prime minister looked very nervous. "I think this matter is not very serious. Please give me a lighter punishment."
"It's not serious?" His Majesty reprimanded loudly, "When the alarm bell rings, everyone in the Holy City will be in danger! You, the left prime minister, are getting more and more stupid and go back!"
"I already understand this matter in general!" His Majesty stopped those who wanted to speak, "When did the people in the City Defense Department become so incompetent? What do they do all day long? Is there any training? It's a trivial matter.
Sound the alarm! A few hundred people can't defeat a dozen or so people. What if the other party is an enemy attacking the city? Do I expect people like this to guard the Holy City?"
"In view of the incompetence of the City Defense Department, all senior officers of the City Defense Department are suspended from now on! The palace guards will take over, and the ordinary infantrymen and junior officers involved in the fight will be given twenty sticks each, and all will be transferred out! Governor Cohen Keda
, your personality is too impulsive, even if the other party is wrong, do you think you can fight casually with your status? Three days of self-examination at home, and a fine of half a year!" Looking at us in disheveled clothes, His Majesty continued, "Get out of here, Wei.
Su, stay with me! Look at the good son you taught!"
"Three days of self-examination and half a year's salary." My father said to me with a smile. "Looking at this insignificant punishment, the left prime minister's lungs are so angry!"
"It's half a year's salary! Dad!" I said, "That's a lot of money!"
"It doesn't matter!" Dad said, "Your Majesty is very happy. This incident you caused gave us an excuse to replace the officials of the City Defense Department. In order to keep you energetic, Your Majesty approved five hundred thousand gold coins for you.
Built the city!"
"Really?" Such a lot of money! I originally thought that two to three hundred thousand would be good.
"Hey!" Dad waved a piece of paper in his hand, "Did you see it? This is an instruction! You can go to the Minister of Finance to get it right away!"
"Jack!" I grabbed it and started yelling.
"Boss! What's going on?"
"You and Uncle Maize go to the Minister of Finance immediately to get the money!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute! Jack." Dad followed, "Let me teach you how to transfer money!"
I lay on the bed, elated. With these five hundred thousand gold coins and the help of my brothers, I can show off my skills!
"Boss!" Jack's voice rang in his ears, "It's not good!"
"Boss is so nice!" I said, "Where's the money?"
"Boss!" Jack said with sweat on his face, followed by an angry Uncle Maize, "Our money has been hacked!" (To be continued)
