"Can I trouble Your Majesty to decree that Xia Heng, the leader of the Assassination Department, join the team of your ministers?"

Seeing that the emperor came to the door specially, Esdes also smiled unceremoniously.

"Xia Heng...I also know that for the well-being of the empire, such a dark ministry needs to be established to eradicate the thieves. But does Jiang Mao really want him to join the ranks of maintaining law and order? I have heard that he was raised by him. A traitor appeared in his team, and the traitor even took away his Teigu, it can be said that he was not strict in his work, and he should have put the crime to death."

There was a look of hesitation on the emperor's face again.

"?々 It was Estes who pleaded for mercy at first, so I thought I didn't see anything..."

Seeing this, Esdes glanced at the minister.

At the sight of the carnivore's eyes, the minister, who was not slow, sensed the meaning of the other party almost instantly, and coughed lightly.

"Even if he's not the Emperor's envoy now, that person's strength (Zhao Leo) is not weak. Besides, Esders is also interested in him, so it's better for your majesty to do a good thing with good intentions."

"Since you have said so, then I will order it."

Just as the young emperor nodded in agreement with the manipulator, the minister also glanced at Esdes.

Since let him help, the other party has to pay the corresponding price.However, unlike others, Esdes, who has cooperated for a long time, knew this from the beginning, and also read out the minister's

Mouth, secretly wrote down the name of the person the other party wanted to make disappear.

Chapter [*]: The clear stream of worrying about the country and the people

"This time, thank you for your help."

In the sunny courtyard, the old man sitting upright on the bamboo chair leaning on crutches lowered his head slightly.

"If Your Excellency hadn't sent someone to tell you in advance, the old man would have died on his way to the Imperial Capital. However, I still don't understand why Your Excellency took the risk."

"Please try this."

Without answering the other party's question, Xia Heng pushed the hot tea that had just been brewed in front of the old man, and the faint scent of tea rose up with the steam.

"What does this mean? Even if I don't taste it, this old man knows that this is a rare good tea, but the empire looks like this, it is not the time to enjoy tea here safely."

"Minister Shuri's temper is really impatient, but considering that he just escaped from death, it's not incomprehensible."

Xia Heng was unmoved, still sitting opposite the former minister Xiu Li, picked up the hot tea in front of him, and took a sip.

"Although I am under the shelter of General Bude, I have to live in seclusion away from the imperial capital. To endure this is humiliating for many years. Now let's endure it for a while. Because I tipped off the news, you who have escaped the assassination by detour should be there. I saw a lot of interesting sights along the way.”

"...Do you call the sight of people living in poverty like that funny?"

After a moment of silence, Shuri said vaguely with anger.

"It's true that the people are struggling, the villages everywhere are equally hungry and cold, and there are frozen bones everywhere, but people are still asleep, deeply asleep, and would rather freeze to death in a dream than open their eyes to see the world, isn't it interesting ?"

He didn't care about the other party's anger and the woman who stood by his father's side and clenched the long eaves.Xia Heng put down the teacup and folded his fingers.

"Obviously there are opportunities, but they dare not act because they are afraid of death. Do you think what the people lack is opportunity or strength?"

"I think, even if you give them the opportunity, they will hesitate; if you give them strength, they will not be able to use it well; if you give them both at the same time, there will be only a few people who can stand up."

"The tea that is now between you and me is worthless to the hungry and cold people because it doesn't even fill their stomachs. But if you just give them food, they will gradually settle down (bddh) Escape, because they are still dreaming."

"Your Excellency, is it a mistake that I came to the imperial capital to confront that evil minister head-on?"

"Father! How is this possible!?"

At this moment, the woman who had previously abide by the guard duty couldn't help frowning and staring at Xia Heng, and said.

"Obviously so worried about the threshold and the people, the father who dared to return to this imperial capital, which is like a snake's lair, is obviously amazing!"

"Chang Mao ... brave can sometimes become reckless."

Looking at the young daughter, Shuri couldn't help sighing.

After calming down, he also understood what Xia Heng meant.

It is precisely because the people of the empire have no strength and courage that he no longer lives in seclusion and ventures to the imperial capital while the empire is dying.He wants to be someone who can wake up the people, but because of the comfort of seclusion for many years, he is too naive.

He originally thought that as long as he went to the imperial capital and confronted Minister Osnet, the young emperor would change his mind and take a good look at the chaotic empire.No matter how bad it is, it can also inspire other forces to push the minister down.

How could a viper-like minister allow him and other civil servants to do this?But Shuri did not take this into consideration at all, and even thought that he was under the protection of General Bude, and Minister Ornest would not act rashly.

But even if they couldn't send people to act in person, the ministers had a lot of ways to deal with the civil servants who traveled to the imperial capital from various places under Shuri's instigation, and it was easy to get rid of suspicion.

"It's a pity that the other civil servants didn't escape the minister's hunt. They seemed to be worried about the news leaking, so they moved ahead of schedule, but they missed it with the person I sent to deliver the letter." Looking at Xiu Li who sighed, Xia Hengcong He took out a leaflet in his arms.

"However, at the scene where they were killed, my men found this."

""I'll wait for the night raid to come down"...a leaflet from the assassination organization Night Raid? "

"Don't think about it, the minister deliberately spread leaflets there in order to frame the night attack. After all, you are the civil servants under the protection of General Bude, and the method of arbitrarily planting the crime and punishing it will not be of any use, and may even offend General Bude. If he changes his mind and plans to clean up the silt of the empire before clearing the night attack, then the minister will be in trouble." Xia Heng said, narrowing his eyes.

"Unfortunately, now, his first goal is to solve the night attack, and then clean up the minister's forces."

"...The old man will talk to General Bude and let him think about it."

After a moment of silence, Shuri raised his head and said.

"However, now that Esdes has returned the hood to the empire, it is not the time to act rashly. If the minister asks her to act, I am afraid that General Budd will be restrained.

"Esdes will focus on the night attack for the time being, and I will also check it there... After all, there is news that I don't know whether it is good or bad. In addition to the Ministry of Public Security she is planning to set up, I have my name. I'm afraid I petitioned His Majesty after the crusade against the alien races in the north."

Hearing this, Xiu Li's expression suddenly became a little sympathetic.

Even in seclusion, he has heard of Esdes' fame and his attitude towards his subordinates.

Although she will treat her subordinates kindly, the premise is that she can become her subordinate. In other words, she must be able to survive under her subordinate who has grown up in a harsh environment since she was a child and is an imperial envoy. For ordinary people, this is almost impossible to achieve. matter.

And Esdes' obsession with Xia Heng, through some channels, he also had to understand some.

"The old man has a plan. If Esdes will know that your Excellency is married, maybe..."

"Are you trying to push your daughter to me?"

"Well... After all, Chang Mao is outstanding in talent and martial arts. I don't think Your Excellency will refuse. And because this child is too brave, he has not been able to find a target yet. But for Your Excellency, this shortcoming is It shouldn't be a problem."

?? A request for flowers...

"Father, what are you talking about!?"

The woman with long blond hair suddenly widened her eyes, and her originally fair face turned red.

"It's a good proposal. But that woman doesn't give up because of such a thing."

Hearing this, Xia Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

... 0

"Also, no matter how worried she is that her daughter won't get married, she is still in her early twenties, so don't worry so much."

"It's true, then let's take a long-term plan. Feelings also need to be cultivated. If the old man lives in the mansion of General Budd now, Minister Ernest would not dare to act rashly, such as

There is no need for Chang Mao to follow me all the time. "

Regardless of her daughter's objection, Shuri decided on his own.

"Are you going to keep my daughter by my side in case I betray at a critical moment?"

"I'm just worried that your Excellency will suddenly do something against common sense. After all, if you want to stand on the same front, it's better not to have any secrets."

"Also be prepared for my daughter to be turned against by me."

"Your Excellency is joking." Go.

Chapter [*]: Shura Incarnation? Noble Chariot

Imperial Capital - To the ignorant country folks, this term can be described as a combination of romance and richness, Rome in its heyday, Luoyang with gold, and the promised land flowing with milk and honey.

Under the long-term influence of this infinite fantasy, Will, a young man living in the seaside city, did not notice the decay in the air of the imperial capital, but stood on the imperial capital avenue with the arrogance and ambition he was called upon.

Originally, he was "[*]" in the Imperial Sea Hood, but this time he was notified by the upper management that he was recruited by the Imperial Special Police.Although he still doesn't know the inside story, this is undoubtedly a promotion.

"Although it's the first time I've come to the Imperial Capital, I don't know the customs here, but since I'm going to report, at the very least I have to lose. The coolest outfit of mine is full of praise from the people in my hometown."

Looking at the surging Imperial Capital Avenue, Will put his hands on his hips and a sack full of fishy smell in the other. He looked up at the sky and thought.

"The souvenirs and seafood that my mother brought me are all first-class and top-quality products. They can definitely leave a good impression on new colleagues. However, why does everyone seem to be peeking at me...I

Did something go wrong? "

But no matter how high his evaluation of his clothes and luggage was, the faint voices of conversation around him still reached the ears of this young emperor.

"The Hillbilly..."

"It's a hillbilly..."

"Where's the hillbilly..."

"It doesn't matter! I'm a man who has played against pirates and dangerous species of the ocean. This trivial matter won't hit me at all!"

Just holding on to his momentum, Will rushed to the meeting point.

Even when he pushes the door in, he's thinking about things like making the best first impression.

"Hello everyone! I'm here to report from the Imperial Sea Hood."

As his energetic greeting entered the room, Will also saw the appearance of the person who came here earlier, so that his sunny smiling face suddenly froze on his face, and even his chin froze in shock. Trembling constantly.

Wearing a strange mask on his head, covering his entire face, his naked upper body wearing only sleeves, the man who looked like a torturer was sitting in a posture that he didn't know if he should say good-natured. On the chair, his head also turned towards the door following the sound.

"Sorry for disturbing you one by one!!!"

The moment before the eye contact, Will exited the room with lightning speed and closed the door with a slam... And the moment the door closed, his body limply slid along the door. Sliding down, the original sunny face was full of shock.

"Uh... This is the torturer's room, right? I accidentally entered the wrong room, it's really nerve-racking, hahahahaha..."

Even if he wanted to paralyze himself with this kind of rhetoric, the house sign hanging above mercilessly declared the truth. No matter how many times he reconfirmed it, the words "Special Police Officer's Meeting Room" were clearly written on it.

"That is to say... is that my colleague!? As expected of the imperial capital, even pirates dress up more than him these days!"

While roaring inwardly, Will propped up his trembling body, carefully pushed the door 3.7 in, and greeted him with a voice not much louder than a mosquito's wings, then dragged his body to a distance from that weird mask muscle. Male farthest chair.

But perhaps because only the two of them have arrived, the other party has been staring at Will through the mask, so that he has the idea of ​​​​running home immediately.

Perhaps even a man from the sea would have difficulty surviving in the fierce waves of the imperial capital! ? .

The first thousand four hundred and sixty-eight chapters

Hunter headquarters, the atmosphere is particularly depressing.

Just when Will couldn't help but want to escape, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
