"Hahaha!"

Hearing Rhodes kick the question back, the king laughed heartily instead of being angry, as if that was the outcome he wanted.

"Sure enough, it was Rod who was decisive in killing, and his will was really firm enough."

The king laughed and said three times: "This king asks you, what is the crime of treason?" ”

After being invaded by an unknown breath, Rhodes was alert and did not be stunned by the king's three good words, fortunately, this time there was no invasion of any unknown breath.

That being the case, Rod blurted out the answer from the textbook: "Go back to the king." Fellow Party members: The principal offender should be exterminated by the Nine Clans, and the accomplice offender shall be exempted from the death penalty according to the severity of the circumstances, ranging from the extermination of the Nine Clans to the death penalty. ”

These textbooks were newly compiled by the dynasty, and they were one of the means by which Sartre III gained prestige, so naturally there was nothing wrong with it, and the king seemed to be waiting for this standard answer.

"Word for word! He is worthy of being a student of this king! ”

The king shouted loudly, and Rhodes was once again invaded by the inexplicable aura, and noticed that there was something wrong with the look of the minister on the right, especially the first minister, who was almost paralyzed to the ground.

"Right Minister! Do you know that this king has found out that you have a close relationship with Leanne, and you interceded for Leanne afterwards, but you are the main culprit? The king glanced to the right, but to Rod's surprise, he didn't immediately take the other side.

The minister on the right suddenly knelt on the ground, and couldn't help but be shocked, and his body shook into a sieve: "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, although Nalian tried to collude with the old minister, but the old minister didn't agree, just for the sake of many years of friendship, I plead for Li'an, please let the king know." ”

At this time, the right minister, who was prominent and domineering in front of people and only needed one sentence to kill, was now the same as the begger who was lying at his feet in the past, snot and saliva flowed all over the ground, and the king looked at the right minister with tears in disgust.

"For the sake of your hard work, this king will not let you suffer. Come on, drag the right minister out and behead it, and execute it immediately! ”

As soon as the king gave the order, two guards immediately entered, and Rod keenly noticed that these two guards had a grandmaster-level sword pressure depth, that is, a sword pressure depth of more than sixty.

"Your Majesty! The old minister is wronged!! The old minister is really wronged!! Just give the old minister a chance, the old minister originally intended to tell the old man to return to his hometown. ”

A click was faintly heard, and the sound of begging for mercy disappeared immediately, and after a while, the guard had already presented the tray, and the king opened it to see that it was actually the tearful head of the right minister.

Seeing the dead head of the right minister, the ministers of the six gods and no masters suddenly knelt on the ground, and responded in unison: "Your Majesty, the old minister has inconvenient legs and feet, and I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to serve the king. ”

Returning to the hometown? Rhodes had an idea, took the opportunity to look up and glanced at the minister on the right, and then noticed that the people standing on the right were all old ministers, none of them were young people, let alone fiefdom nobles, all of them were righteous nobles, they did not have hereditary rights, and their titles were usually linked to official positions, and if they resigned from their official positions, they would immediately lose their noble titles.

But the king obviously did not want to let them go: "Rise up, you are all old ministers who have worked hard and followed your father to fight everywhere, and this king should have granted your request, but there are family rules and court laws, and I must not spare any guilty minister." ”

The king's tone was concerned, but the words cut into the minister's heart like a knife, and the minister kneeling on his right trembled, unable to even stand up.

The king glanced lightly at the minister who was trembling and smiled: "It's just ...... After all, you are the old ministers of your country, there is no merit and hard work, but this king is not easy to be unsympathetic, as long as you are willing to confess, this king can guarantee that he will never punish your nine clans. ”

Rod felt an inexplicable aura again, this time the target was Lao Chen, Rod instantly saw the source of the breath, it was the king, and the wisdom core clearly marked a dragon-shaped rune that roared in the sky in blue, as if it was showing his majesty.

Under the influence of this breath, the minister, who was already frightened, suddenly made a five-body surrender: "The minister pleaded guilty." ”

"Hahaha~! Good! is worthy of being a veteran who has experienced wind and rain, and he really has courage. The king laughed heartily and waved his hand: "Come on, drag these criminals down and behead them, and reduce all the relatives and relatives of their nine clans to commoners, and they will not be allowed to be officials for eternity, and they will not be allowed to do business for eternity, and all their property will be confiscated into the treasury." ”

"Yes" A large number of guards poured in, including Reg, only to see Reg wave the order, and the guards marched in unison, dragging these old ministers down.

It was only then that the old ministers realized what the king had said, and that it was too late to beg for mercy, and the king laughed, his voice filled with joy that he had never seen before.

When he saw the heads of the old ministers, the king waved his hand boringly, and asked people to take these heads down: "You ministers, there is still something to do." "Said to be a minister, in fact, there were only three people left who could speak - Croft, Poundle and Kailas.

Kailas took a step forward: "Your Majesty, among these criminal ministers, there are five of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the ten major chambers of commerce, the old ministers have arranged the city guards, and the other five major chambers of commerce are also well prepared, and they can arrest the families of the criminal ministers at any time, and there will be no rebellion." ”

The king nodded with satisfaction: "We must arrest these criminal ministers and relatives in the shortest possible time, and we must not let them take the opportunity to resist, let alone let them join the enemy, otherwise they will be killed." ”

Not to mention that Kailas received the order, Rhodes was suppressed by one word, the fifth of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the top ten chambers of commerce.

In other words, among the ministers' families who were just demoted to commoners, including five of the ten major chambers of commerce, which includes almost half of the country's private wealth, what is the king going to do...... Is it really just to start a war?

Rhodes couldn't help but think of Lean, who stole the armor and defected to the enemy country, and the king's large-scale purge of enemy spies some time ago, and then he had a terrifying conjecture.

Don't...... The king does not just want local wars, but wants to start wars of aggression between countries!?

With the king's character of valuing fame as life, perhaps he would really choose to do so, and only in this way could he finally go down in history and let his reputation be passed on to future generations, or even become a legend after 10,000 years.

And what kind of reason for war can be more powerful than the top secret of the country being stolen by an important minister and defected to the enemy country?

Even if it is the three major empires, I am afraid there is no reason to prevent the Kingdom of Sartre from launching a war of revenge.

And in this way, it can also explain why the king did something to these old ministers, not only because his mind was stubborn and only wanted to maintain stability, but also because he was interested in the wealth that these old ministers had.

As long as you kill these old guys, you can not only solve the roadblocks, but also harvest a lot of wealth, especially the five major chambers of commerce, which gather almost half of the wealth of the people, which is enough for the king to launch several major wars without having to waste money and money.

By the way, there are other five chambers of commerce, and judging from the tone of Count Kailas just now, they seem to be involved as well.

Thinking of this, Rod immediately connected Tom's five senses, and sure enough, he didn't find Bane and Lisa at the venue, obviously they were still there just now, but now they have disappeared at some point, Nina also looked for Lisa after walking out of the palace, but did not find it, that is, at the same time as he came in, Lisa and Bane had quietly withdrawn.

By the time Rod came back to his senses, Kailas had already discussed the details with the king, and Kairaz took the order directly, and looked at Rod with appreciation as he left.

Waiting for Count Kelas to leave, the king continued to speak, and said meaningfully: "Then the next thing is about the right minister, I wonder if Master Croof and Professor Poondel have recommended candidates." ”

Rhodes was shocked, didn't Count Kailas say anything about the Right Minister just now?

Master Croft glanced at Rhodes and burped: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate." ”
