Chapter Twenty-Six: Hank, Let the Dog Go

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

The chains collided, the back door of the arbitration hall was pushed open, and Su Xiao was escorted into the arbitration hall by several guards wearing black armor who could not see their faces.

The shackles were unfastened, Su Xiao sat on the 'special seat', and with a click, the iron bars around him were locked.

Su Xiao's eyes looked around, just a few hours ago, he had already discussed with Harold how to conduct today's arbitration.

On the left is Councillor Jones, judging from the red eyes of the other party, it is similar to what Harold said, the thunder is loud, the rain is small, and he will not fight Sir Eddie because of his affairs.

As for Councillor Leopold on the right, this guy is difficult to deal with and often likes to use roundabout tactics to put opponents to death.

Of course, Su Xiao would not fully believe the words of Monarch Harold, as an insurance, he asked Bu Buwang to place an Apollo in the Palace of Parliament, once the situation changed, everyone present would not end well.

With an old yin like Harold, Su Xiao certainly won't trust the other party, although he is inferior to the other party in terms of old yin beep, but he has physical means.

The power of the empire is bound? What is the status of the deputy commander? In Su Xiao's opinion, these are just means and channels to complete the promotion task, before he killed Sir Eddie, he actually thought about it for a long time, Eden Manor must be eliminated, otherwise it may become the base camp of the ghost ring in a critical moment.

Coupled with those councillors who were bought, the situation may develop to the point where Su Xiao knew that there were ghosts with ghost rings in Eden Manor, but he had to go through cumbersome procedures to search there, unless he was hostile to the entire imperial power system, he could only watch the ghosts hide in Eden Manor, so he struck first.

"Kukulin White Nights, can you confess to murdering Joshua Eddie with a firearm while dining at Eden Manor."

Harold put down the papers in his hand, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Su Xiao's face remained unchanged, but he could see from Harold's actions that things were different from the plan.

"I don't admit it."

"Ridiculous!"

Congressman Jones let out a low roar, looking at his excited expression, clearly trying to shake the teacup out of the table.

"Oh? There is multiple evidence that you shot Joshua Eddie, do you admit that? ”

"Admit it."

Su Xiao's fingers lightly touched the wooden table, which meant that he understood what Harold meant.

"That is, you admit to shooting Joshua Eddie, but you don't admit to murdering Joshua Eddie."

"That's right."

Su Xiao stood up as he spoke, and it was time to show his acting skills.

"Your Majesty, what I have said below concerns the secrets of the ghosts."

"Well, no one left the table."

As soon as Harold finished speaking, several guards entered the arbitration hall and asked most of the spectators to leave, they only had to sit in on the first half, which was a matter of politics.

After the unrelated personnel left the scene, Councilor Jones and Councilor Leopold both looked at Su Xiao, and the arbitration continued.

"First of all, I received reliable information at 9 o'clock this morning that Joshua Eddy was secretly hiding a female ghost on his estate, and this information came from Unit 7 with a high accuracy rate.

At about 12 noon, I arrived at Eden Manor with my men, and at 12:15 I dined with Joshua Eddie, and after asking questions about ghosts, Joshua Eddy suddenly threw out his knife and stood up, intending to attack me, according to the Imperial Law, Chapter 5, Article 356, if the special armed forces are attacked, and the situation is urgent, the attacker can be killed on the spot. ”

Su Xiao said this, Old Hank immediately stood up and handed a sealed dinner knife to the guards, in fact, Sir Eddie did throw the dinner knife at that time, but only on the dining table, this is a sign of annoyance, if it weren't for this, Su Xiao's two shots would not have been so crisp.

"I was in Eden Manor, there were at least 20 gunmen outside the room, and ghosts could appear at any time, and after I killed Joshua Eddie, I was attacked by the gunmen."

As soon as Su Xiao's words fell, Guss in the audience ripped off his clothes and tore off the bandage on his chest, and a clear gunshot wound could be seen in his chest, of course, this was not enough to become evidence.

"Considering the situation at the time, I think I made the right choice at that time, of course, after killing Joshua Eddie, I did my best to minimize the casualties of the servants and Joshua's family in the Eden Manor, and as for the gunmen who were attacking us, I had to kill them on the spot."

Su Xiao didn't continue, because it was Harold's next part.

"So, are you doing your official duties normally? But...... How can you concretely prove that Joshua Eddie is attacking you. ”

"I can't prove it, that's my personal judgment."

"Personal judgment."

Harold frowned, and neither councillor spoke, waiting for Harold's final verdict.

"While it is impossible to conclude that you murdered Joshua Eddie, his death is a fact, and it was the result of your personal judgment......"

After a moment of silence, Harold picked up the seal on the table and slammed it on a document.

"Sentence, remove Kukulin White Nights from his post as deputy commander of the Execution Agency, and serve in the Bora mine for two years."

After that, Harold got up and walked outside the arbitration hall, Su Xiao was also escorted out of the arbitration hall, and as soon as he went out, his shackles were opened, because the judgment document clearly stated that the judgment would take effect in five days.

Gus and the other three walked out of the arbitration hall and ran quickly behind Su Xiao.

"My lord, we ......"

Gus looked a little anxious, and he was clearly unhappy with the verdict.

Su Xiao, who was walking slowly, whispered at this time: "Hank, there are still a few ghosts in the backyard of the headquarters. ”

"Six."

"Let it out."

"Huh?"

Hank was a little dazed, but also a little excited.

"Near the mansions of Councillors Leopold and Jones."

"Got it, sir."

Hank walked away quickly, he was very measured, knowing Su Xiao's intentions, those ghosts could be released to scare people, and they should be done cleanly, leaving no traces.

"Reinhardt, keep going to Eden Manor and staring, I always have the feeling that there is something else there, and it smells too strange."

"Yes, sir."

"Gus, you go visit Lady Nancy and tell her that it's going to be a lively night and don't say anything else."

"Yes, sir."

The three of them quickly left the Palace of Parliament, and Su Xiao glanced at Bonnie.

"If you dare to take the money and run away, I will hang you on a tree and smoke."

"The most basic trust between people."

Bonnie stomped her foot angrily and walked away quickly, she also had a secret mission.

"Mr. Kukulin, you can't move freely right now."

A guard who had always followed not far or nearer stepped forward.

"I'm going to spend tonight in jail?"

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, things were not going well, but it was also under control, obviously, before he entered the arbitration hall, the two councillors had already benefited, and they didn't have to think about it to know that the red mine had the right to operate, so they didn't talk much after Su Xiao arrived, as for seeking justice for Sir Eddie? No kidding, parliamentarians are politicians, counting on them to be affectionate and righteous, Su Xiao prefers to believe that female ghosts are as beautiful as flowers.

"You're laughing, I've got the lounge ready for you."

Half an hour later, in the small building behind the Palace of Parliament, Su Xiaopan was sitting on a single bed, indulging in games.

……

At ten o'clock that night, in the room on the fifth floor of the Palace of Parliament, Harold was wearing a coat and looking tired, as if he had just been woken up.

"Your Majesty, I, I ......"

Congressman Jones sat on the semi-circular couch, snot and tears, his hair a little messy, and he didn't know where to throw his cane.

"I thought I'd never see you again, Your Majesty, I almost didn't eat it with a ghost, then, that monster's mouth was so big, and it suddenly rushed to my bedroom."

Councillor Jones cried even more sadly, and Harold, who just wanted to make a snort, coughed lightly, he really didn't expect that Su Xiao would actually put a ghost.

"Jones, you're suffering, I'll deal with this tomorrow morning, the execution agency is really getting worse and worse, Kukulin......"

Speaking of this, Harold sighed.

"Kukulin has already gone to move the stones, the new deputy commander will be elected soon, today is just an accident, since Jones you are not injured, you are lucky, I will send the Awoken to your manor."

"No, Your Majesty."

How could Councilor Jones let the awakened enter his manor, it was all Su Xiao's people.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, Leopold entered the room, he was trembling with anger, at nine o'clock tonight, he was about to pamper the new maid, who knows, his old man's pants were taken off, and the thing suddenly became a ghost, fortunately it was just a roar.

It was a female ghost with only the ability to transform, and because of her special ability, Old Hank was not willing to eat it.

"It's ridiculous, Your Majesty, I'm going to ......"

Leopold was about to lash out at the ghost's bad behavior when he suddenly discovered that Jones was there, and he was almost crying with his arms around Harold's legs.

The three people in the room fell silent.

"Your Majesty, or else...... Let Kukulin serve as deputy commander for a while longer? After all, he has served the empire for so many years, and no one can make mistakes, so I beg Your Majesty. ”

Congressman Jones opened his mouth to propose, in fact, he wanted to send Su Xiao to the gallows, but he didn't want to break the net with a madman who dared to let the ghost out, and the older he gets, the more afraid he is of death.

"This ......," Harold said, after a moment's deliberation, "or observe for a while." ”

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to vouch for Deputy Commander Kukulin, and, with his contributions to the Empire, he deserves the position of Legion Commander."

Councillor Leopold spoke.

"You guys go out first."

Harold waved his hand, Jones and Leopold just walked out of the room, the two looked at each other, tacitly knowing, the red mine business, Leopold sixty percent, Jones forty percent, 70% of the total income belongs to the empire, of which 10% is allocated to the execution agency, no red ore is allowed to be sold to officials, no significant price reduction, increase sales, red ore has become a pastime for those kings and nobles.

And Su Xiao, who was promoted from deputy legion commander to legion commander, has the right to search more than 95% of the area in Zuer City.

The Joshua family had been holding that cake for so many years that they had all made it out of their half-bloods.

And from beginning to end, Leopold and Jones never thought about fighting with Su Xiao, a dead man, it is not worth them and Su Xiao to tear their faces, just get by on the surface, they have to leave some leeway, both sides know this, for example, those ghosts who were released were all pulled out by Old Hank, pinched their claws, injected large doses of sedatives, and Councilor Leopold, who was so weak that he was just an old man, kicked the ghost out two meters away.

It's not a show of two, it's four.
