Chapter 8: Purging the Target

The royal capital, inside the residence of the Iron Hand.

Su Xiao, Bu Buwang, and Eminem sat at the table, and there were sumptuous delicacies on the table, which Su Xiao had never seen before, and the culture and products of each world were different, so the food would also be different to a certain extent.

"Looks like you two have some uses."

Su Xiao looked at the food on the table, he really couldn't think of how two little loli who were about ten years old could cook so many delicacies in one hour.

Don't think it's a simple matter, the two little loli first go to the market to buy ingredients, and then process the ingredients, cook, etc.

Su Xiao tasted the food on the table, it tasted unexpectedly good, and Bubuwang and Eminem also began to feast.

"My lord, can we clean the courtyard later?"

The sister in the little Lori spoke, although she looked a little cute, but she belonged to the hardworking type.

"As long as you can fill its stomach, you can do whatever you want after that."

Su Xiao chewed a kind of beast meat in his mouth, and he decided to leave these two little girls for the time being, although these two people had no combat power, they could do some housework, after all, he had to stay in this world for about a month.

The food on the table was quickly swept away by Eminem, and the two little Lori sisters immediately brought new food, and this time Eminem completely let go of his appetite and began to eat wildly.

An hour later, two little Lori, who had collapsed, stood at the dining table.

"Hiccup~"

Eminem burped, how happy and happy his expression was, and his affection for the two little things at the table increased slightly.

"You go out first."

Of course, Su Xiao will not let Bubuwang and Eminem go out, but is letting the two little Loli avoid it, although it is unlikely that these two people are eyeliner, but it is not impossible.

"Yes." ×2

The two gods synchronized the little Lori left the room, and when they left, they closed the door, and they dragged their tired bodies to clean up the courtyard, for the two of them, only by staying here can they continue to live, without the mixed blood of slave owners, either being executed or continuing to sell, although the two sisters are not very old, but they have already experienced the evil of this world.

Su Xiao took out the small roll of parchment that the old king had given him from the storage space, and when he opened the parchment, there were four names written on it.

They are: Ian Pollitt, Warner Vaughn, Zab, Elvi Anthony.

Four names may seem ordinary, but the sum of these four names represents a lot of power.

Ian Pollitt, Member of the Kingdom (10 members in total).

Warner Vaughn, Ombudsman (responsible for the management of public morality, maintenance and expansion of the royal capital, etc.).

Zab, High Priest of the Templar (responsible for festivals, royal ceremonies, etc.).

Elvé Anthony, Chief Justice (low rank, very high power).

……

Among the four were councillors, procurators, high priests, and chief judges, the first three were actually nothing, one of them was an idle official with some power in his hands, and the other two were responsible for managing the construction and memorials, although the name was not small, but the real power in his hands was not too great.

The last man, Elvé Anthony, was different, he was the chief justice, and in this world of extremely backward communications, the power of the chief judge was greatly magnified, and he was able to convict a person in a clever way and to relieve a person of guilt in an appropriate way.

Those wealthy merchants, commoners, and middle- and lower-ranking officials were judged by him if they violated the laws of the kingdom, which led to his huge connections and financial resources in the royal capital.

The Iron Hand had cleaned up many of the old king's dissidents, but it was relatively rare to purge important officials like the Chief Justice.

"It's an example to the monkeys."

The old king did this to sound the alarm to all the officials, telling them that although the struggle for power was about to begin, you had better be honest, or the Iron Hand would cut your neck.

Just when Su Xiao was thinking about how to act tonight, a mouse suddenly entered the room.

The appearance of this mouse was nothing special, but it was not afraid of Su Xiao's blood, but ran to Su Xiao's feet, raised its head and looked at Su Xiao with those small black eyes.

Su Xiao looked at the mouse under his feet, and soon he noticed that there was something strange about the rat's abdomen, and there seemed to be something tied there.

Eminem grabbed the mouse, but instead of struggling, he rubbed his head against Eminem's fingers, which had obviously been domesticated by humans.

In the belly of the mouse, Su Xiao saw a small paper tube, he ripped off the paper tube, opened it to check, and there was a twisted pattern drawn on it.

Su Xiao had seen this pattern, and when he introduced the identity of the Iron Hand in the Reincarnation Paradise before, a large number of secret words were marked below.

Su Xiao interpreted these distorted patterns according to the secret language, and soon, he got three words.

'Is there me?' ’

This summons was not named, but Su Xiao knew whose summons this thing was, it was the kingdom's financial officer Rowan Harvey, the old man he met before, who bumped Su Xiao's shoulder, but twisted his waist.

You must know that Rowan Harvey is one of the four people most trusted by the old king, and his status in the old king is no less than Su Xiao, and this kind of character is actually beginning to endanger himself, which shows how cruel the power struggle is about to begin.

If it is a peaceful world, this kind of almost open power struggle is very brainless, but this is a world that has been at war for nearly a thousand years, and this world has developed a stable power system, which seems absurd, but in fact it is a very complete system.

Su Xiao crushed the note in his hand and motioned for Eminem to let go of the mouse, and if he didn't reply, it meant that there was no Rowan Harvey on tonight's purge list.

The previous Iron Hand must have had an excellent personal relationship with Rowan Harvey, otherwise Rowan Harvey sent this thing is equivalent to looking for death, this relationship Su Xiao will of course maintain, but the other party controls the finances, and it will definitely be used at critical moments.

The most suitable time for tonight's purge is around 8 o'clock in the evening, when it is just dark, and the people in the royal capital have just had dinner not long ago, and they are in the stage where there is nothing to do.

It seemed simple to purge those four officials, but Su Xiao still had a lot to prepare, such as getting a very detailed map first, and he had to at least know the terrain of the royal capital.

In modern times, maps are something that can be found everywhere, but in this world, maps are of high value and are contraband, and civilians are not allowed to make maps without permission, except for royalty or officials.

First of all, Su Xiao wanted to get a detailed map of the royal capital, thinking of this, he got up and walked out of the room, with his position as the Iron Hand, it was not difficult to get a map.

Three hours later, Su Xiao returned to the Iron Hand's mansion, and he got the map of the royal capital, but his money bag was very injured.

The Iron Hand is a high-income official position, but the Iron Hand did not have many gold coins left before, only 350 gold coins, and the purchasing power of one gold coin is about 12,000 RM|B, and the map in Su Xiao's hand cost him 285 gold coins, that's right, the price of the map of the royal capital is so exaggerated.
