240 Genos Slint
Bald, with a double chin, his facial features are narrow and long, and he looks like a frog, and his stature is not tall, and he looks like a round barrel.
Genos Slint, the commander of the capital garrison who was nominally in charge of more than 5,000 people, looked like his reputation, crooked melons and cracked dates, and he didn't look like a good person.
The first contact, Lan Li did not have a good impression of this person, it was not that he judged people by his appearance, nor was it the information he knew in the past, but the commander of the garrison had a sleek temperament and was faintly arrogant.
"We don't have enough people, my lord, King's Landing is too big, there are too many people, and there are always outsiders running in, we alone can't control it, some of the mobs are really not very honest, and some even dare to attack us openly, so we have to recruit more people."
……
"Lord Mace is in charge of the finances, but he has not been very supportive of our recruitment efforts, if you have time, please help us to make peace, after all, the security of King's Landing is a big deal."
……
"Work status? That's how things work, we mainly focus on Steel Street and Silk Street, after all, the big guys prefer those places. Flea nests? Well, we also have people patrolling flea nests, but there's usually nothing to do there, and it's not the focus of our work. ”
……
"Of course, Lord Lan Li, don't worry, of course we will obey your orders, there is anything you can order, it is our responsibility to serve the royal family."
……
When talking to him, the words of this guy on the surface were quite warm and honest, but Lan Li could clearly feel the perfunctory and disapproving beneath the face of the short and fat frog standing in front of him.
When he asked about the composition of the garrison, this one even showed a faint displeasure, as if he had regarded the organization of the capital garrison as his own backyard to collect money, and obviously did not take Lan Li, his direct boss, seriously.
This made Lan Li's already bad impression of him even worse in his heart, so after saying goodbye to this one, he secretly made some kind of decision.
……
In fact, just as Lan Li felt, Genos Slint didn't take Lan Li, the new Minister of Justice, very seriously, and although Lan Li had been famous recently, and his methods were said to be unusual, it didn't affect the organization of the Capital Garrison after all.
The composition of the members of the garrison is complex and inextricably linked, and while allowing this armed force to be infiltrated by the major organizations, Genos Slint himself has reached a certain degree of tacit understanding with the various forces in King's Landing.
In other words, despite his humble background, he has a lot of power behind him and has friendships with many "big shots", and anyone who wants to move him must think twice.
Therefore, although he knew that His Majesty had delegated authority to the newly promoted Minister of Justice a while ago, and although he sensed that the young boss was dissatisfied with him, Genos Slint did not care.
No matter how outstanding your ability is, since you have entered this circle, you have to act according to the rules of this circle, and rashly breaking the rules will only be hostile and backlashed by everyone.
To achieve the position of commander of the garrison, Genos Slint no longer needs to take the initiative to turn to anyone, or take the initiative to tie up with anyone, on the contrary, he is the object of competition between the major forces.
So he thinks that when this sharp-edged young boss sees the situation clearly, he will also win himself over, because the rules of the game are like this, and you don't want to do anything if you don't follow the rules.
Even he had already begun to think about what kind of request he should make when this Lan Li wooed him.
Although he is not short of money, the more the merrier, but I heard that the territory of this Duke of Lanli is just a dilapidated island, and there is no oil and water at all.
And in the position of Genos Slint, he has basically climbed to the top, and then he is awarded the status and territory of the nobleman, but this is not something that the Minister of Justice can give, so after thinking about it, he thinks that the only benefit he can get from the other party is to expand the team.
"That kid is just in charge of the garrison, so he naturally needs to support a force of his own." Janos Slint pondered as he walked out of the Red Keep after reporting his daily work to the Iron Throne.
"I can use him to recruit more of my own people...... Besides, the salaries of the capital garrison haven't changed in years, so it's time for them to change. Since he wants to be the boss, he should always buy people's hearts...... Egging him on to find that stingy fat man in Mace? ”
While secretly pondering the ghost idea, Genos Slint stepped out of the Red Keep Gate, and the guards on both sides greeted him, and he waved his hand slightly perfunctorily in response.
A group of members of the capital garrison who stayed outside the gate hurriedly surrounded their boss when they saw their boss come out, and after asking a few words of flattery, they surrounded the short and fat commander in a chain mail and gold robe and walked towards the depths of the city.
However, the team soon became commotional, because Commander Genos Shlint, who was sitting on horseback and leading the way, was suddenly scratched in the face by a black eagle falling from the sky, and the appearance of covering his face and falling off his horse and screaming miserably made the members of the garrison startled, and then they rushed forward to help the foil and support him, and at the same time prepared to turn his horse's head back to the Red Keep and go to the university to help him heal.
After a chicken-and-dog jump, the doglegs finally sent their boss into the Bachelor's Tower, but just when the white-bearded old bachelor broke off the hands that Janos Slint had been covering his face and was about to check the injury, he was shocked to find that under the closed eyelids, it had become two black holes at this time!
"I, how can I not see, I-"
Janos Slint, who felt a sharp pain on his face, hadn't noticed this before, but when he "opened his eyes", it was dark, which made him very dazed.
However, no one in the room answered his question at this time, and the startled bachelor didn't know how to speak, and the doglegs who had gathered around Genos Slint were also looking at each other one by one, and finally looked at the boss on the bed who had been sent by them with a nervous face.
……
In the tower room on the other side of the Red Castle, Lan Li sat quietly on a chair in front of the window, his ice blue eyes were deep and magnificent, looking at some scenes outside the tower in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.
The sky outside the room was cloudless, and a black eagle with wings spread and soaring swept by at this moment, bringing a melodious eagle cry, and also casually leaving off the two spherical bloody objects on its talons, and falling like garbage on the rock wall of a tower of the Red Keep into a puddle of pieces.
