"Are you sure that the Naxos Inspectorate's actions are against the law?" Antonios asked again.

"Of course! Although there are many legal texts in Dionia, I have been reading them all these years, and I can memorize many of them. To be honest, I think I'm qualified for the position of the highest judge. Laodisien said with a hint of boasting.

"Well, I'll go talk to Trito Demose." Antonios finally nodded in agreement, and for this reason, he had to talk to the judge who had been in office for more than ten years.

"One more thing, Antonios." "It's already September, Strompori's term of office is coming to an end, and we should now elect a successor to the governor of Naxos as soon as possible!" I've heard that the family of Assistes just left here, how are you negotiating?! ”

Hearing this, Dorin looked at her husband with a little worry.

And Antonios looked at Laodisian, who was eager and casually speaking, but what came to mind was what Arcistes had said before, and he was inexplicably a little disgusted, and he said angrily: "Paphragres has made such a big matter, whether it can be solved in the end is still a problem, you still want to worry about the candidate for the administrator of Naxos, my father-in-law, your heart is a little too big!" Is the choice of the chief executive of Naxos determined by our decision? ”

"If the administrator of Naxos is someone we are familiar with, I and several other senators can also feel better at Naxos' home, you see what Strompoli has done in Naxos in the past few years is completely incomparable to when you were there, we are also worried that the order of Naxos will be messed up, so we want to choose a familiar senator who will not mess around in Naxos...... Besides, the election of the chief executive has always been the most important business for the elders of our Senate, and only we know the affairs of Sicily best, and other elders generally do not rob us, right? Raodisian retorted confidently.

"You're stupid!" Although there had been a quarrel with Arcistes before, he was not unwary of Antonios, so he looked at the self-satisfied Laodisian, and finally couldn't help but scold: "Who do you think you are, King Dionia!" All city administrators are subject to the permission of His Majesty Davers before they can be appointed, and in the past he did not speak in your selection, probably because he did not feel necessary, but this time...... You know, he hates the abuse of slaves by citizens the most! You are still jumping out at this time for your own benefit, what do you think His Majesty Davers will think! ”

These words made Laodisian stunned on the spot.

"This ...... What should I do?!" Doreen asked worriedly.

"I hope Your Majesty hasn't noticed this matter of Paphragres......" Antonios sighed.

………………………………………

“…… Assistes' family went to Antonios' house for a banquet...... "Davers finished reading the new information submitted by Aristiras, and smiled slightly: "Aristiras, I said that your subordinates are too idle, and your relatives gather for dinner, and you also grasp such a small matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, I decided to show it to you because I thought this news was worth noting." Aristiras, who was standing on the side, said unhurriedly.

"What do you think......" Davers looked up at him, his expression seemed calm, but the majesty he exuded made Aristias can't help but bow his head slightly: "Then tell me, what they talked about at the banquet that made you feel that there was something wrong, huh!" ”

"This ...... I do not know. Aristilas replied directly: "I know, however, that during the time that Assieses had not yet returned to Turiy, Antonios and Laodisian...... The Sicilian senators had been trying to elect Arcisstes to Naxos, and I had just received a secret report from Naxos that there had been a shocking murder and that Paphragris, the son of Laodisien, was under serious suspicion and had been detained by the Naxos Inspectorate. ”

"Pavlegres? It was the young man who caused the scandal at Adoris's school graduation party......" The familiar name reminded Davers of a farce that had happened in Turriy two years earlier, which did not shock him like the others, after all, he came from a previous life, and energetic young people drank too much, and it was common for men and women to move their hands and feet, and in the end it did not cause substantial harm.

"It's him, Your Majesty."

"How did he get involved with the murder this time?" Davers asked again.

Aristilas was busy telling the whole case in detail, but after hearing this, Davers's face gradually became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "This son of Laodisian is very bold, it seems that he is bent on leaving his name in the legal history of the kingdom, and he has killed six people in a row, which is unprecedented!" If this all allows him to escape punishment, what is the point of existence of the court of the Kingdom of Dionia! ”

"Smack!" Davers's right hand slapped on the desk, which made Aristiras's heart tighten, and he heard Davers say: "What do you mean when you say that the Naxos Inspectorate is now holding both the slave who voluntarily confessed and the real criminal, and has been dragging on and not closing the case as soon as possible?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know. But Lord Strompori met with Judge Aldarus of Naxos several times, and repeatedly refused to see the slave butler of the House of Laodisian, and the priest Hades of Naxos visited the prison of the Patrol House once......" said Aristilas cautiously.

"It seems that the secret letter from Stromboli is coming again...... I'm going to see what they're up to! Davers's fingers tapped the back of his chair, lost in thought.

The murder of an elder's son is actually not a big deal, and a warrant goes down and requires a thorough investigation, and it can't make a big splash at all. But through this murder, Davers sees a deeper problem: why did the Naxos registry officials not detect the problem of slaves in the Laordisian family in time, resulting in the female slaves being killed one by one (the Dionian Law stipulates that slaves purchased by citizens must also be registered with the city registry, and every year when the urban population is checked, the number of slaves and health problems must be checked at the same time)? The mountain on which the fields of Laodisian's family were located belonged to the kingdom, so why did the people of Naxos not dare to go there? Otherwise, someone would have found out about the burial place long ago! Why did the members of the Naxos local council intercede with Laodisian's son when something happened to him? It hurt that Strompori had to close the door! And why can't the judge in Naxos work with the inspectorate to sentence the real murderer as soon as possible, but is delaying it as he is now? ……

Naxos has a big problem right now! I'm afraid it's not just Naxos...... Davers tapped the back of his chair: After the Great Greek War, Dionysia occupied almost all the land in Great Greece, but because of the war, the population was drastically reduced, and vacant land was everywhere, and with the establishment of a new kingdom, many systems needed to be adjusted...... There was a huge backlog of work on him and the Senate, so it was only natural that everyone should focus their main energy and work on the land of Greater Greece, which was the foundation of the Dionian Kingdom. The governance of the Sicilian territory is relatively relaxed, as long as it remains stable and does not cause major chaos, and there are no stricter requirements, so the so-called "conqueror of Catania" Antonios will continue to be the administrator of Naxos for six years, and Antrapolis, a new senator who has never had administrative experience, also became the administrator of Catana because of the trust of the exiles in Catanay......

Now that the overall situation in Greater Greece is on the right track, Davos originally wanted to wait for the end of the Dauni War and then focus on cleaning up Sicily, but now it seems that this plan has been brought forward.

"Laodisian...... Antonios ......" Davers silently read the names of these two men in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, and looked up at Aristiras, who was standing straight: "Antrapolis is still the administrative adjutant of the Siri Court, right?" ”

"Yes."

Antrapolis's administrative path can be described as high and low, first as the administrator of Catanay, but after all, Catana is a large city, with a large population, a vast area, and complex members, and he soon felt overwhelmed by his lack of administrative experience, and even almost caused a riot, and finally he volunteered to step down in his second year.

Davers sent Anta Oris to replace him, and the reluctant Anterapolis took the initiative to ask Davers to take up a local post in order to increase his administrative experience. For such a self-motivated young veteran, how could Davers refuse, so he arranged for him to serve in Xiliting, which was being rebuilt: two years as a city inspector, one year as a city supervisor, two years as an urban household registration officer, one year as an urban agricultural officer, one year as a city commerce officer, and now as the adjutant of Xiliting's city administration, mainly responsible for trade...... It took eight years for Antrapolis to fill almost all of the major middle-level public offices in one of the cities of Dionia.

Anterapolis made a great contribution to the war-torn city of Cyridine from its post-war decay to becoming a new jewel in the southern cities of Dionia, and he himself benefited a lot, believing that no one in the Senate would make fun of him as an inexperienced senator, on the contrary, there were probably few people in the older group who could hold as many administrative offices as he did.
