Cowlier and Cilla Marne were surprised by the King's abrupt question, which suddenly cooled the relaxed atmosphere in the room.

"The case in the hands of Baron Hanina—" Cowlier repeated the King's words, keeping his previous smile under the King's gaze, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could not give any answer, because the King's question was beyond his purview. Or rather, the king's brief question left him at a loss as to how to respond.

"After the arrest of Daisily Pombo, a number of people were confessed, and I ordered Baron Hannina to continue the investigation. Pei Di's gaze on the old mage did not take his eyes off, "The regular meeting of the National Affairs Office should have talked about this case. ”

"Your Majesty. Siala Marne frowned, "Daisily Pombo's case has a case file at the police department, and you can directly access the police department's case file. ”

The king's opening of his mouth to talk about Baron Hannina made her think of the recent gossip in the royal capital, some gossip about Baron Hanina. The woman's sensitivity suddenly alerted Sira Marne, who had wanted the king to summon Hannina for questioning, but she had changed her words when they came to her lips.

"I haven't received Baron Hanina's report for two months. Pedy rolled her eyes to Sira Marne.

"You can ask Baron Hannina directly. Cowlier said what Syrah Marne wanted to say, and only he could say it.

"But I just wanted to ask you," Pedi took a puff on his cigar and his eyes fell on Collier, "what do you think of this case?"

"According to... The police station's notice document, the case is about to be closed. Collier thought about many questions at this moment, "Nowadays, everything is quiet in the royal capital, and the nobles no longer dare to violate any laws of the kingdom under the supervision of the police station, and Baron Hanina has made the nobles of the kingdom understand what the law is in the past year or so. ”

The old mage's smile became more and more intense, "The nobles of the royal capital, now they can only take a detour when they see Baron Hanina on the street, and the determination of the police station to protect the laws of the kingdom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all nobles. ”

Sira Marne's face changed slightly when the old mage spoke, although she sometimes hated Baron Hanina's domineering, but this kind of thing in front of the king has no different meaning.

"Your Majesty—" Sirah-Marne subconsciously wanted to say something.

"Do you think I should reward Baron Hanina?" a slight smile appeared on Pedy's face, as if he hadn't noticed that Siala Marne was trying to speak.

Before the old mage could speak, Peddy continued, "But I have also received many reports here that Baron Hannina lynched nobles in the dungeon of the police station. ”

"For some criminals, the police sometimes have some means. As the first chief of the police department, Cowlier still has a certain understanding of punishment, "I know the interrogation of the police department, and punishment is rarely used in normal cases, and only the police officers involved in rebel and espionage cases will have some necessary means." ”

"So, you don't believe these reports?" said Pedi leaning back on the couch and smoking a cigar with great enjoyment, staring at Collier with empty eyes.

"Your Majesty, you should trust your minister. "The only one in the entire kingdom who dares to say this is the Minister of War, Sirah Marne," Baron Hanina, as the kingdom's chief intelligence commissioner, leads the police department, and has personally handled more than 100 cases in the past few years, and has built a huge intelligence system for the kingdom in the highland grasslands, Suke Plains, Crewe and other regions. ”

"So... I called you here. When Pedi heard Sira Marne's words, he stopped going around in circles.

"I thought you called us here to discuss the war that was about to break out. Sira Marne's words were a little cold.

"This is for the war!" Pedi looked at Siala Marne, who was not angry at the other party's confrontation, "Since I took over the reins of the Crewe Domain, there has not been a day that I have not been able to balance the contradictions between the nobles, the merchants, and the commoners, trade reform, tax reform, the abolition of the cabinet, the establishment of police stations and schools, the clearing of talent channels, etc., and I have not been afraid for a day in the past five years. ”

"For the sake of this country, my mother left me, and my sister fought with me. Pedi took a hard drag on his cigar, "Soon, the kingdom will have a decisive battle with the undead legions, and I don't want any discord within the kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty, Baron Hanina..."

"I won't forget what Baron Hanina has done!" Pedi's voice unconsciously increased, "so this conversation is here." He looked at the two of them, "You... Got it?"

Having said this, why don't the two of them understand?

Five years ago, when Pedi first took over the reins of Crewe, the nobility was spread across all the towns of Crewe, but with the trade reform, tax reform, and the spread of new laws in the kingdom, the power of the nobility was devastated, and most of the traditional aristocratic class completely lost power after the aristocratic rebellion more than a year ago.

However, after the rebellion of the nobles, not only was the royal power secured, but the new nobles and merchant forces began to spread like wildfire in the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Kruria, and it was about to burn the king's side.

And the source of all this is Hanina, who personally commanded the suppression of the aristocratic rebellion a year ago, and she has now become the representative of this force.

After two or three minutes of silence, it was finally Cowlier who asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Baron Hanina's fitness has deteriorated so badly in the past year, and now she needs a lot of medication every day to maintain it, so you can talk to Hannina privately and ask her to submit her resignation on the grounds of illness. Pedi said directly: "After that, I will personally issue a royal decree to canonize Baron Hanina as the Earl of the Kingdom, and I will even have the Queen hold a grand canonization ceremony for him in Kaval Castle." ”

"Shall we talk?" said Syrah-Marne, looking at the king in surprise.

Collier followed suit: "Your Majesty, Baron Hanina may not necessarily agree to us...", "I'll go!" Syrah-Marne's decisive voice interrupted the old mage.

"Good!" Pedi smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, Wolf Ma brought the tea just right.

"After drinking this cup of tea, Collier will go back first, Sir Marne don't rush back, I need your opinion on the war of the undead legion, Sir Bowenwright has rushed to the mouth of Marvel's West Canyon, and the military meeting in Suker City is temporarily presided over by you. Pedi picked up his cup of tea, which was about to cool down.

"Yes!" After the two agreed at the same time, Peidi nodded tiredly and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and the secretary general, Wolf Ma, saw this, cautiously walked to the window and closed it.

Cowlier and Cilla-Marne did not continue to drink their tea, and after putting down their teacups, they walked softly towards the door.
