Steve is the next chief justice, the three officials that Su Xiao got rid of before are not too important positions, their positions are vacant for a few days, but the position of chief justice in charge of the law cannot be vacant for a day, not to mention that the struggle for power has begun.

Steve came here to hand over some important matters with Elvi, and Elvé was very cooperative and told Steve about some important matters.

Elvi will definitely die, in this case, he is so cooperative is a brain into the water? No, it was a smart move, and he was using his last resort to protect his family.

An hour later.

"That's basically it, and what you do after that depends on your personal ability."

Hervey let out a long sigh of relief, exhaling a breath that seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body.

"Iron Hand, I have done everything that needs to be done, Your Majesty...... Is there anything to convey to me? ”

"The treasury is tight."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Elvey's lips opened and closed, and in the end he could only laugh miserably, he still didn't understand the 'old lion's thoughts.

Su Xiao drew a piece of parchment from his cuff and threw the parchment to Steve on the side.

"Read."

Steve opens the parchment.

"Chief Justice Elvé Anthony has broken the laws of the Kingdom and knowingly violated ......"

"Remember the point."

Su Xiao interrupted Steve's tirade, in fact, the main content of the old king's order was only one sentence, but after the transfer of the clerical officer + the new chief judge Steve, it became a lot of nonsense.

"Yes, Elvie Anthony drank poison, and his family was sent to the Sil Heights, and he was never hired by the royal family."

Steve is very cooperative, and he can't tolerate him not cooperating, his ex is about to die in front of him, this is the live version of killing chickens and monkeys.

Steve pulled a clay vase out of his bosom and placed it on his desk.

"It's a decent way to die."

"Heh, what's the difference."

Elvi grabbed the vase, his hands began to tremble, but he was laughing, even though his family had been sent to the bitter cold of the 'Sir Heights', they could continue to live, and there was hope for them to live.

"Lose... I bet on the succession of the eldest prince, the Iron Hand, in the upcoming struggle for power, where are you located? ”

Elvi uncorked the clay vase, poured the liquid into his mouth, closed his eyes and leaned back on the noble chair, remembering a man with a mustache on his chin, who had said to him, 'Flee, Elvi, if I win, you will be my courtier.' ’

"Wonderful."

Elvi quickly lost his voice under the poison of the blue sword flower, and the excitement in his mouth may be talking about his wonderful life, or maybe he is talking about this struggle for power.

Chief Justice Hervé Anthony was the first to lose in this power struggle, he actually did not die of greed for money, nor did he die of standing on the wrong side, but he was reluctant to hold the power in his hands, and his full strength was like a poison, as long as he tasted a little bit, it would make people want to stop, and finally fell into it and was swallowed up by power.

[The Hunter has completed the side quest: Purge, and has obtained 100,000 Paradise Coins.] 】

……

In all respects, there were two people who benefited the most from this purge, Su Xiao obtained the resources needed to become stronger, and the old king got rid of the unstable factors in the royal capital.

The four targets were all cleared, and the next thing was to count the wealth of the four people, and the person in charge of this was the kingdom's treasurer Rowan Harvey, who had been waiting at home for a long time, and this old guy was a smart man who knew what was going to happen tonight.

It is not easy to count the property of these four people, it is not just a matter of copying a few treasure troves, and real estate accounts for more than 80% of the property of the four people.

Of course, 99 percent of the assets counted were contributed by Elvé Anthony, and the other three were liquidated because of other problems.

The councillor's brother is on the wrong side, plus he is a little incompetent, the Ombudsman is nosy, no, it should be said that it is better to abuse his power, the Templar Priest is because he knows too many secrets, and the chief judge is the 'newbie gift package' left by the old king to the new king.

On this night, everyone in the royal capital was in danger, and when the 'iron hand' knocked on their door, it was their time of death, so all the officials in the royal capital lost sleep.

Su Xiao walked on the streets of the royal capital, followed by ten Praetorian Guards and hundreds of guards directly under the royal family.

Su Xiao originally thought that the purge was over, but the old king suddenly ordered him to hurry up and handed him a long list again, some of the officials on the list were executed, and some were imprisoned.

The officials on the second list, of course, don't have to deal with it as before, they will go through a series of quick rulings, kill those who should be killed, and those who go to jail will be jailed.

At about midnight that night, a total of 67 officials of all sizes in the royal capital were taken away, 12 of whom were executed, 18 were imprisoned for life, and the rest were imprisoned for several years.

In fact, the old king had already arranged this purge, so the entire power system was basically not affected.

The corpses that night were transported to the royal capital in a carriage and carriage, and there was a smell of blood on the streets.

The princes and princesses didn't know that before they arrived in the royal capital, the instability had been dealt with.

These officials who have been disposed of, the relationship in the kingdom is intertwined, they are all officials all their lives, those princes and princesses are not the opponents of these old yin beeps in terms of power struggle, they are very capable, but the territory under their jurisdiction is too far away from the royal capital, at this point in time, the danger of the royal capital is not less than the front-line battlefield, and the evil in people's hearts is the most terrifying thing.

At three o'clock that night, Su Xiaocai led people to complete the purge, and in this matter, he not only harvested the legendary treasure chest, etc., but also made the identity of the Iron Hand terrifying.

As soon as Su Xiao returned to the mansion, he found that the courtyard was obviously much cleaner, at least the pool full of stinky water had been cleaned and would not emit a strange smell.

"Your Excellency, you're back, and the bath water is ready."

The two little Loli ran over with small steps, and were just about to give a big salute to Su Xiao, Su Xiao waved his hand, as a modern person, he was not used to others running in front of him and kneeling.

After taking a hot bath, Su Xiao, who had a lot of blood on his body, lay on the bed and soon fell asleep, while Eminem slept at the door, no matter what world he was in, Eminem slept at the door, so as not to let someone attack Su Xiao.

……

The next morning, the first sun rose in the sky, and it seemed that nothing had happened in the royal capital, or rather, the civilians had no idea what had happened last night.

The princes and princesses closest to the royal capital will arrive at the royal capital today.

At the gate of the royal capital, a luxurious carriage drove in from the city gate, this carriage is made of metal throughout, with gold stripes on a black background, the coachman is a sharp-eyed knight, and the cart is pulled by two black horses, which have a single horn on their heads, which is an extremely rare species.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome man about 40 years old with a mustache on his chin leaned out of the carriage, he was what Elvie Anthony called the eldest prince.

"Finally arrived at the royal capital."

The eldest prince overlooks the scenery of the royal capital from afar, and the smile on his face is very gentle, giving people a sense of spring breeze.

"Your Highness, we have a lot of opponents this time, and there are also a lot of people who need to be wooed."

An old man in the carriage spoke, he was the confidant of the eldest prince.

"It is true that there are many enemies, but there are not many people who need to be wooed, the kingdom's treasurer Rowan Harvey, the archon Joe Valentine, and the legion commander Heslet, as long as I have the support of these three, no one is my opponent, and the three of them are my father's right-hand men."

"What about the Iron Hand? If these three are the right-hand men, then the Iron Hand is almost His Majesty's representative. ”

The old man spoke. He really wanted to win over Su Xiao, the iron hand.

"The Iron Hand? That's the adjudicator, it's not something we can get into, and his support is so fantastic that I didn't even think about it. He had washed the royal capital in blood last night, and Chief Judge Elvé Anthony had been so beautiful that he was now just a corpse. ”

The eldest prince sat back in the carriage, he was the first heir of the old king to rush to the royal capital, and he also had a secret 'right to avoid death' given by the old king, which belonged to the big favorites in this power struggle, in Bubu Wang's words: 'Ben Wang bets five cents, this guy is definitely the new king.' ’
