Chapter 134 There are repetitions

William didn't pay much attention to Dennis, the son of a nobleman with the name of a sheriff, who had been nervous since he entered the ghetto, and it seemed that Dampier was right, he was only bold at the moment of gambling, and he was usually timid as a mouse.

William inspected the stolen goods from the underground brewery, and then left the slum with a group of people, selected some men, and took some alcoholic beverages and workers with them as evidence and witnesses, and went to the estate where the Chancellor of the Exchequer Alcatio was.

Alcatio had been waiting for news from William at home, and when William arrived, he only checked the human and material evidence he had brought, and had some words with William, and then hurried to the palace with the group to see Norton I.

By this time, it was getting late, and if it weren't for the fact that Arcatio himself was very trusted by Norton I and was an important minister of the kingdom, it would not have been possible for him to be received by Norton I.

But even so, when the two of them came to Norton I, they found that his face was not very good-looking.

It's just that when Alcatio put what he brought in front of Norton I, Norton I's face was even worse.

It was Norton I, who usually hated it very much, and ordered that the sale of alcohol should be banned in this country.

"Your Majesty!" Alcatio's acting skills were definitely not lost to William, and he said with a look of trepidation, "Stolt and his men discovered something terrible when they were apprehension to the slum criminals. ”

"Some lawless criminals have secretly brewed and sold alcohol and beverages under your nose, and the prohibition has become a dead letter in the royal city!" Alcatio cried out bitterly: "Where is the majesty of the country, where is the majesty of the king!"

Norton I's face was gloomy, and he looked at William, who had been silent: "Is this true?"

William glanced at Alcatio, the old drama bone who was still doing pain, but he was not just a little fresh meat with salt value, and his acting strength was not inferior to the other party, his face was solemn, and he had already said in a deep voice:

"The situation is true, my troops and I destroyed a number of criminal dens in the slums, and found that there were a number of underground breweries hidden in them, and now it seems that the prohibition you issued not only did not achieve the original intention, but became a means for these criminal gangs to make money, and because it is an underground brewing workshop, the environmental sanitation conditions are poor, and the raw materials are also problematic, and the safety of the brewed alcoholic beverages is worrying. ”

Norton I had left his throne at some point, pacing slowly on the high platform, his face becoming more and more ugly as William described it, and he felt that his authority had been violated.

Norton I then summoned the workers who had been brought by Alcatio and William, who were now guarding outside the palace gates, and learned from these witnesses that what Alcatio and William had said was true.

This made Norton I furious, he was the master of this kingdom, the supreme monarch, he had the health of the people to issue a ban on alcohol, and there were even untouchables who disobeyed his orders and dared to touch the law!

Norton I directly ordered that the workers in the palace be dragged out and hanged, and neither Alcatio nor William looked at the hapless workers who were dragged out of the palace like dogs.

Seeing the density of dark clouds on Norton I's face, Arcatio gestured to William with his eyes, and William stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the underground breweries in the slums are not one or two, but a large number, all of which are lurking in various buildings, and they are ....... ”

When William said this, he looked like he wanted to say something.

"And what?" asked Norton I in a deep voice.

Alcatio stepped forward at this time: "I think Stolt is trying to say that the underground breweries in the ghetto are not without an umbrella! otherwise how dare they blatantly disobey your decree?"

Seeing Norton I's look of surprise and anger, Alcatio continued: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, it is not realistic for Stolt and his subordinates to investigate this matter, they are good at fighting, but they are not good at handling cases, so the old minister proposed to set up a special police department to investigate the issue of alcohol prohibition and maintain Your Majesty's authority, and at the same time to find out what are the bold people who do not think about Your Majesty's benevolence and reward, but violate the prohibition of alcohol!"

Norton I thought for a moment, then asked Arcatio, "Do you have any suggestions for the newly formed department, Earl?"

William looked at Alcatio when he heard the sound, but after seeing the latter pause, he said: "Since there may be an umbrella for those criminals in the royal city, then the newly established department, Lao Chen suggests, it is best not to have too much involvement in the original police force in terms of high-level personnel. ”

"Wouldn't it be okay for Stolt to form and lead this department?" Norton I proposed, somewhat troublesomely.

"No," said Arcatio, "the two divisions must be separated. ”

After Alcatio said this, he caught a glimpse of William's stunned expression, and then although he covered it up, he still showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

This is not the initial agreement between Alcatio and William, who originally meant to let him lead the Prohibition police unit, and then, as if he was at sea, Alcatio provided information about his rivals, and William investigated and attacked his opponents, and even planted them.

But Alcatio's keen political sense soon made it clear to him that, unlike at sea, this new investigative unit was important not only against economic and commercial rivals, but even against political enemies.

Therefore, he would not let William take control of this department, but decided to install his own man, and the person he proposed could barely stop William's mouth.

"This department must be independent in order to enforce the law impartially without being influenced by anyone," Alcatio continued, "and as for the head of the department, the old minister has an excellent recommendation. ”

"Who?"

"Chloe!"

William pursed his lips, his face looking a little ugly.

……

While Norton I received William and Arcatio, Dennis was in Danpier's speakeasy.

Dennis didn't know the specific relationship between Danpier and William, only that the two knew each other, so he wanted to get a look at Danpier and find out what kind of person William was.

Dennis wondered why William killed Andre, which was the most puzzling part of him, and he wanted to know what William would do with himself if he found out that he knew the truth.

Will it be the same as the treatment of Andrei, killing himself cruelly?
