Chapter 1968: Purge
I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing as bending and beating at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
When I entered the interrogation room, they began to search my body, not only did they search my body, but they even tried to remove my gauntlet, but after being refused, not only did they not ask the reason, but they even directly charged me with not cooperating with law enforcement, plotting to hide hidden weapons, and assassinating His Majesty.
Then they put me in the interrogation room.
Kailan's situation is not much better than mine, there are male orcs who covet her appearance, and even want to take advantage of her by the opportunity of body search, but she slapped her in the leg, and the orc with bad intentions hurt half to death.
The accompanying orc was angry and slapped her directly, and I was about to burst out and kill someone in the interrogation room at that time, but I happened to meet Kailan's gaze, and after hesitation, I still precipitated the raging anger in my heart.
That look from Kellan clearly told me not to do anything here.
As for the orc shopkeeper, who was scared half to death, he was let go after asking for the transcript.
I was also there when I made the transcript, but the interrogator never asked questions about my identity, he didn't ask, and the store manager didn't dare to say anything, so he skipped my identity in a daze.
After that, Kellan and I were locked up in the same confinement cell, waiting to be heard.
After the surroundings were quiet, I asked Kailan why he didn't let me do it, and Kailan cried and said, "I don't want to cause you more unnecessary trouble because of my problem." β
Hearing this, I felt distressed, and gently took her in my arms and comforted her a little.
After a while, I asked Kailan, do you have a pocket watch or something?
Kailan shook his head and said, "I don't have any money with me." β
"What money did I give you?" I asked, "Why didn't you buy a pocket watch?" β
Kellan's cheeks were slightly red, and he refused to speak.
After I asked again and again, Kailan answered my questions in a hesitant manner.
It turned out that half of the money I gave her was used to build the Equipment Enhancement Machine, and the other half was used to drink.
Listening to her answer, I was so angry that I almost punched her ass.
After a while, I couldn't bear it anymore and said to her, "Let's go." β
"Where are you going?" Kellan asked me.
"Let's eat."
As soon as the words fell, I condensed my killing intent, gathered on top of my fists, aimed at the prison door, and directly punched hard.
The prison door is made of three-centimeter stainless steel, which is more than enough to hold ordinary people, but I am an adventurer above level ten, and my physical fitness is stronger than this steel plate door without condensing killing intent, and I also condense killing intent.
With just one punch, the door was deflated by me, followed by a few more punches, and the stainless steel gate was scrapped.
I stepped out of the confinement chamber first, and the orc guards, who had already sensed that something was wrong, rushed over with their weapons in hand.
The city guards are generally composed of low-level adventurers, and only the city guard captain can barely reach about level ten, but even if the level ten city guard captain comes, he may not be my opponent, let alone this group of rabble.
Soon, they were lying on the ground with broken arms and legs.
However, there was an orc guard who pressed the alarm in the middle of my trouble.
It didn't take long for more city guards to rush over, and this time there were not only city guards, but also a big man - the vice president of the Iron Wolf Guild.
The vice president of the Iron Wolf Guild is Fergus Illidan's childhood sweetheart, not only that, but his own sister, who is one year older than him, is also Fergus Illidan's wife.
is also a member of half of the royal family.
As a result, he was trusted by Fergus Illidan.
That's why he also met me at a certain banquet.
And he admired me quite much, not only because I was the prime minister of Dasai City, and dared to single-handedly enter Yorkhan City to face the city lord, but also because he had heard that the orc high priest had a good relationship with me.
Ahem, I forgot to mention it, he's actually the little fan brother of the orc high priest.
As soon as the majestic vice president saw me, his face immediately changed, and he trotted over with a smile on his face and took the initiative to shake hands with me and say hello.
After a period of enthusiastic greetings, he said with a puzzled face: "Prime Minister, what are you ......?"
When the words 'Prime Minister' were spoken, the whole room fell silent, and the people lying on the floor were all dead, the one who wanted to take advantage of Kailan, and the other who slapped Kailan, one was so frightened that he fainted, and the other peed his pants.
I snorted coldly, explained the origin of the matter, and emphasized that all those who have anything to do with this matter must be investigated, including their families, relatives, friends, and the people behind them, not only to investigate, but also to investigate strictly, thoroughly, and without the slightest leniency!
After that, I patted him on the shoulder: "This matter will be handed over to you, and we must thoroughly investigate it as soon as possible." β
The vice president looked serious, saluted me solemnly, and said, "Yes! Prime Minister! β
The Iron Wolf Guild was worthy of being the strongest indigenous guild in Dasai City, and in less than a day, all the members of the Guardian Brigade who were on duty that day, along with their families, relatives, friends, and those who cared for them, were all arrested and detained.
This incident alarmed some of the nobles, and they came to me to intercede, hoping that I could release the innocent nobles.
I was indifferent to their pleas.
In the afternoon of the same day, the old duke personally visited the detention site, and after asking about the situation, he said on the spot that he would also help to take charge of the investigation of this matter, and personally ask all the families who harbored the sinners for an explanation.
The old duke's intervention meant a further escalation of the incident.
Another day later, at least one-twentieth of the noble families in the entire territory of Dasai City were mercilessly arrested.
Among them, there are more than forty famous nobles, accounting for more than one-third of the total number of nobles in the entire Dasai City.
Moreover, on the third day after the arrest, the orc king issued an edict that a considerable number of these arrested nobles hid soldiers and forged weapons in order to subvert the state power.
The families of these people are punished with heavy sentences.
The rest of those who were guilty of offending the prime minister were sent to the mines to serve hard labor.
What is a so-called heavy sentence?
Although I didn't get a clear answer, I could think of it, and it was nothing more than an erasure.
As for whether they really have the intention of subverting the country, who cares?
All I know is that nearly half of the members of the Guardian Brigade have been replaced, and those who wanted to take advantage of Kailan before, and those who had hurt Kailan, these two people, as well as their families, relatives, friends, and all the other people involved, half were kidnapped to Fort Vechie, and were used as test subjects for new weapons, and the other half were sent to Moonlight City to make great contributions to medical research.
The shopkeeper who had a dispute with Kailan still opened the shop with trepidation, but his temper was no longer so impulsive.
This incident of insulting the prime minister that shocked the Zephyr Continent ended with many noble families being wiped out and deprived.
To appease me, the Orc King held a feast and invited me with all my fiancΓ©es living in Dasai.
During the banquet, the old duke winked at me mysteriously: "This time you are relieved, right?" β
I smiled meaningfully: "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who is relieved." β
With that, we looked at each other and smiled.
