The Devil's Escape Diary

Carlisle lowered his head: "Please punish your highness."

Hughes didn't answer Carlisle, but looked at Marcus: "Only two captains were found on the police station?"

Marcus nodded: "After three days of investigation, the two patrol captains who have problems with evidence are the captains of the two patrols, without exception, all the old sheriffs of the year."

"I remember that the one caught by Kelly was also an old sheriff?"

Marcus nodded: "That's right."

Hughes turned to the materials on his hand and looked at Phines: "Is the propaganda bureau okay?"

Phines nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Hughes snorted: "Well, the Bill's Office, which was the most slippery at the beginning, has now turned into a publicity bureau that has nothing to do with it. Instead, it is the city hall and the police station that I have high hopes for, giving me frequent mistakes!"

Crotia calmly said on the side: "The real power department is most prone to this kind of problem. It's not to blame them. When I checked the Agriculture Bureau, I heard the little girls say that there were also demons looking for them before, but they were all bombed out. Up."

"I understand on your side." Hugh's expression was a little softened: "However, there was nothing wrong with this propaganda bureau, and it was unexpected. This Bill seems to be more capable than I expected. By the way, time is."

"All appeared from four months ago." Crotia said.

Carlisle also opened his mouth and said: "Yes, your Royal Highness, the City Hall incident also appeared four months ago."

"Four months ago?" Hughes shook his head: "Awesome, I know how to catch time. I just left Winter's City on this side, and they have little moves on this side."

Phines also opened his mouth and said: "Although this is a bit suspicion of sophistry, but...Four months ago, there were too many things in Winter Lin City. After your Highness, you left, Winter Lin City lacked the backbone. , And also caught up with the bandits, a large number of high-level leaders and the city defense army left Winter Lincheng. This gave those guys a chance."

Phines took out a document and put it on Hughes' desk: "According to the investigation, there are three registrars suspected of bribery. One is our original hotel partner, and the other two are small chambers of commerce. But they It’s the least threatening, it’s a simple relationship, hoping to learn about the various policies of Winter’s City as soon as possible, and take the back door of some policies."

"The embezzlement of public funds is a chamber of commerce that is not registered in Donglin City. I have checked their situation. The Dark Night Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with many nobles. Especially in the Feilong Province, it is specialized in dirty words. Black work. Others...There are also some individuals who are inquiring about the situation in Winter's City. All of them are nobles behind them."

Hugh didn't open the information, but just asked, "Where is the person?"

"The officials who took bribes have all been controlled, and the heads of the Chamber of Commerce who paid the bribes have also been supervised. The Dark Night Chamber of Commerce has been taken into custody, um... As for the individuals who snooped on intelligence, those with sufficient evidence have been arrested. Hearing the wind and ran away, but Master Sombra has led the city defense army to chase. The rest is also controlled."

Hughes nodded: "I finally said something that makes me happy. It's a coincidence to say that, the bill has just been established, so it will be sent to the door to sacrifice the flag."

Carlisle was taken aback for a moment: "His Royal Highness, aren't you going to send them all to the court for trial?"

"Otherwise?" Hughes looked inexplicable: "Keep these people for the New Year!"

Kyle thought for a while, then lowered his head: "Listen to your highness."

A panic flashed in Phines's eyes, and she quickly said, "Your Highness, you are not doing this properly."

Seuss leaned back: "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Fei Nisi took a deep breath, and then said: "The opening of the Winter Lincheng Canal will inevitably increase the number of floating populations in the future. Nowadays, the city hall officials are a little awkward in handling various affairs. The personnel training system chooses the system. The next batch of Donglincheng residents from Alpha Academy will be at least three months later, and you will sanction more than 20. The normal operation of the city hall may be affected. And...the most. Importantly, things like bribery are actually very common."

Seuss pursed his lips: "Then what should you do?"

"Several cases are serious, focus on handling, the case is relatively minor, major incidents are small, criticize and educate. Then a certain punishment. This will let them know your highness your determination, but also ensure the normal operation of the city hall."

Hugh did not answer immediately, but looked at Carlisle: "What do you think?"

Carlisle nodded: "I support Miss Phoenix's proposal, Your Highness."

Marcus couldn't help but said: "Your Highness! Wrong is wrong! If you don't punish today, you will only make more mistakes in the future!"

Seuss looked at Crodia and said softly: "What do you think?"

Crodia nodded: "Fenice makes sense."

Hughes turned his eyes to Anna.

Anna also nodded: "Hughes...you should know that this kind of thing is not black and white."

Hughes looked at Poros and Pierce again, and the answer was the same.

Seuss took a deep breath: "Knight Kelly, what do you think?"

Kelly stood up from the side: "His Royal Highness, I don't have the right to intervene in the matter of Winterfall. I thank you for letting me listen, but...I don't have any racial factors in my opinion. I agree with horses. Chief Kus."

"Barbara." Hughes asked finally.

Barbara blinked, and then smiled: "Everything makes sense, all makes sense. I'm a secret guard and don't talk about politics~"

ps: One more thing.

I have a headache. I checked the housing prices near this extremely convenient place where I live now... it seems to be a thousand higher than the month I live.It's going up really fast.

Do you want to move out of the central area of ​​Binjiang... I heard that Xiaoshan District is cheap and affordable.The price of two bedrooms and one living room is about the same as mine in a place of more than 30 square meters.But it's so far there.....

Chapter 950: Black or White

Phines looked at the current situation and said again.

"His Royal Highness, your code was only recently set. These things happened four months ago. The law was not perfect at that time." Phines paused and continued: "Moreover, from the Chamber of Commerce, The lord’s offering of tribute, benefits to the lord, and benefits to the officials are almost all tacit ideas. The laws are not perfect, and even the newly formulated codes have not been popularized at this time. Although it is said to be bribery, but... The Kingdom’s default thing."

"The tribute of the lord is the right of the lord and the nobility." Marcus said: "For municipal officials, the law of the kingdom clearly does not allow them to be collected. Although the nobles in various places will make some changes, you, Miss Phines, default Is it a bit too late?"

Phines replied: "The thinking in the big society I talked about, we set up laws to stipulate what is allowed and what is not allowed, and establish a relatively fair environment. Can't it be unfair at the beginning? If the winter comes to the city now The law can punish the crimes committed four months ago. After that, who would dare to come to Winterfall? What do they do, we will make a law a year later, and then pursue the crimes committed a year ago? How can there be such a thing? !"

Marcus retorted: "The current law of Winterfall is also based on the former second modality code. You can't ignore many national things, Miss Phoenix. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce can accommodate. , But... on the side of the city hall officials, whether it is the publicity and education of Winterfall City, the code of conduct of the city hall, or the prohibitions in the Alpha Academy, they are all clearly stipulated!"

Phines shook his eyes to Seuss: "His Royal Highness, if you really want to pursue it, except for the main ones, then the ruling will be based on the amount of bribes collected and sold in the period from the day of legislation to the present."

Marcus immediately shook his head: "No, my lord, how long is this! There are a lot of fish slipping through the net!"

Fei Nisi did not give in the slightest: "We are still in the stage of rapid development. What we are looking for should be small punishments and big admonitions! Winterfall City needs officials to operate."

Marcus shook his head: "No, it is because Winterlin is developing, so we should pursue the law intolerance! No matter what the reason, we will be punished if we violate it!"

Seuss raised his hand: "Don't fight, you two. Call me what Bill told me."

Soon, the greasy black horned demon came to Seuss' study: "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Tell him something." Hughes said lightly: "Bill, what do you think?"

After hearing what Bill had heard, he gritted his teeth and looked up at Seuss, and stopped talking.

"Just say anything."

Bill scratched his head: "His Royal Highness... what I said may be a bit rebellious... I'll leave it alone."

Hughes' eyes widened: "Let you just say it! It won't do you anything!"

"Eh eh eh." Bill Suo nodded quickly, and then said: "That, I'll just talk about it, don't take it to your heart."
