Steve is the next chief judge. The three officials Su Xiao got rid of before are not very important positions. Their positions can be vacant for a few days, but the position of the chief judge in charge of law cannot be vacant for a day.
What's more, the battle for rights has already begun.
Steve came here to hand over some important matters to Elvi. Elvi was very cooperative and told Steve all the important matters.
Hervey will definitely die. In this case, is he out of his mind to cooperate so much? No, this is a very smart move. He is using his last effort to protect his family.
After one hour.
"That's basically it. How to deal with it later depends on your personal ability."
Elvi let out a long breath, exhaling it as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Iron Hand, I have done everything I need to do. Your Majesty...do you have anything to convey to me?"
"The treasury is tight."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Elvi's lips opened and closed, and in the end he could only laugh miserably. He still didn't understand what the 'old lion' was thinking.
Su Xiao drew a piece of parchment from her sleeves and threw the parchment to Steve aside.
"read."
Steve opened the parchment.
"Chief Judge Hervé Anthony violated the laws of the kingdom, knowingly and intentionally..."
"Remember the key points."
Su Xiao interrupted Steve's long speech. In fact, the main content of the old king's order was only one sentence, but after being relayed by the clerk and the new chief judge Steve, it turned into a lot of nonsense.
"Given that Hervé Anthony drank poison, his family members were sent to the Sir Highlands and will never be employed by the royal family."
Steve was very cooperative and could not tolerate his lack of cooperation. His predecessor was about to die in front of him. This was a live version to scare the monkeys.
Steve took out a clay vase from his pocket and placed it on the desk.
"This is a decent way to die."
"Oh, what's the difference?"
Elvi grabbed the pottery bottle, his hands began to tremble, but he was smiling. Although his family members were sent to a bitter and cold place like the 'Sir Highlands', if they could continue to live, there would be hope for them.
.
"If you lose... you have to lose more gloriously. I bet that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne. Iron Hand, where will you be in the upcoming struggle for power?"
Hervé uncorked the pottery bottle and poured the liquid inside into his mouth. He closed his eyes and leaned on the expensive chair. In his mind, he thought of a man with a mustache on his chin. That man
He once said to him: 'Run away, Hervé, if I win, you will be my vassal.'
"Wonderful."
Elvi quickly lost his voice under the poison of Blue Sword Flower. The excitement in his words may be referring to his wonderful life, or it may be referring to this struggle for power.
Chief Judge Hervé Anthony was the first to lose in this struggle for power. He did not die of greed for money, nor did he die of being on the wrong team, but because he was unwilling to give up the power in his hands. His full strength is like a drug, as long as he tastes a little bit of it.
, it will make people unable to stop, and eventually they will fall deeply into it and be swallowed up by rights.
[The Hunter has completed the side mission: Purge, and has obtained 100,000 Paradise Coins.]
…
From all aspects, two people benefited the most from this purge. Su Xiao obtained the resources needed to become stronger, and the old king eliminated the unstable factors in the royal capital.
After all four targets were cleared, the next thing to do was to count the property of these four people. The person responsible for this was the kingdom's financial officer, Rowan Harvey, who had been waiting at home for a long time. This old guy was a smart man and knew that tonight
What's going to happen.
It is not easy to count the properties of these four people. It is not just about confiscating a few treasure houses. Real estate accounts for more than 80% of the four people's property.
Of course, 99% of the properties listed were contributed by Hervé Anthony, and the other three were cleared due to other issues.
The congressman is on the wrong team and is a bit incompetent. The inspector is meddling in other people's business. No, it would be better to say he is abusing his power. The high priest of the temple is because he knows too many secrets. The chief judge is left to the new king by the old king.
Wang's 'Newbie Gift Pack'.
That night, all the officials in the royal capital were in danger. When the "iron hand" knocked on their door, it was their death. Therefore, all the officials in the royal capital had lost sleep.
Su Xiao walked on the streets of the royal capital, followed by ten imperial guards and hundreds of royal guards.
Su Xiao originally thought that the purge was over, but the old king suddenly issued an urgent order to him and handed him a long list again. Some of the officials on the list were executed and some were imprisoned.
Of course, the officials on the second list do not need to be dealt with in the same way as before. They will make a series of quick decisions to kill those who deserve to be killed and those who should be jailed.
A large-scale cleanup began. At around one o'clock that night, a total of 67 officials, big and small, were taken away from the royal capital. 12 of them were executed, 18 were imprisoned for life, and the rest were imprisoned for several years.
The old king had actually arranged this purge long ago, so the entire power system was basically not affected.
The corpses that night were transported to the royal capital in horse-drawn carriages, and there was a smell of blood on the streets.
Those princes and princesses didn't know that all the unstable factors here had been dealt with before they arrived at the royal capital.
These officials who were disposed of had intricate relationships within the kingdom. They had all been officials for their entire lives. Those princes and princesses were no match for these old men in the power struggle. They were very capable, but the territory they governed was far away.
The royal capital is too far away. At this point in time, the danger level in the royal capital is no less than the frontline battlefield. The evil in people's hearts is the most terrifying thing.
At three o'clock that night, Su Xiao led people to complete the purge. In this incident, he not only harvested legendary treasure chests, etc., but also made the Iron Hand's identity terrifying.
As soon as Su Xiao returned to the mansion, he found that the courtyard was obviously much cleaner. At least the pool full of smelly water had been cleaned and there would be no strange smell.
"Sir, you are back and the bath water is ready."
Two little Luoli ran over with small steps. Just as they were about to give Su Xiao a big gift, Su Xiao waved his hand. As a modern person, he was not used to people running up and kneeling in front of him.
After taking a hot bath, Su Xiao, whose bloody smell was much lighter, lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly. Eminem slept at the door. No matter in which world he was in, Eminem always slept at the door to avoid surprise attacks.
Su Xiao.
…
Early the next morning, as the sun rose in the sky, nothing seemed to happen in the capital, or in other words, the civilians had no idea what happened last night.
The princes and princesses closest to the royal capital will arrive at the royal capital today.
At the gate of the royal capital, a luxurious carriage drove in from the city gate. The carriage was made of metal with a black background and gold patterns. The driver was a knight with a sharp eye. The carriage was pulled by two black horses. On their heads
It has a single horn and is an extremely rare species.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome man about 40 years old with a mustache on his chin leaned out of the carriage. He was the prince mentioned by Hervé Anthony.
"Finally arrived at the royal capital."
The eldest prince looked at the scenery of the royal capital from a distance. The smile on his face was very gentle, giving him a feeling of spring breeze.
"Your Highness, we have many opponents this time, and there are many people we need to win over."
An old man in the carriage spoke. He was a confidant of the eldest prince.
"There are indeed many enemies, but there are not many people who need to be won over. The kingdom's treasurer Rowan Harvey, the consul Joe Valentine, and the army commander Heslett, as long as they have the support of these three people, there is no need to win over them.
People are my opponents, and the three of them are my father's right-hand men."
"What about the Iron Hand? If these three are his right-hand men, then the Iron Hand is almost His Majesty's representative."
The old man spoke. He wanted to win over Su Xiao, the iron hand.
"Iron Hand? That's the ruling party, not something we can win over. His support is too fantastic, so I didn't even consider it. Last night, he bloodbathed the capital. Chief Judge Hervé Antony was once so glorious.
Now it's just a corpse."
The eldest prince sat back in the carriage. He was the first heir of the old king to arrive in the royal capital, and he also had the 'right to avoid death' secretly granted by the old king. He was the favorite in this power struggle. Use Bubu
Wang's words were: 'I bet 50 cents that this guy is definitely the new king.'
