241 Candidate Questions
The fact that the commander of the capital garrison, Genos Slint, was attacked by an eagle and then turned blind could not be concealed, and it had already spread among the noble circles of King's Landing and the wealthy merchants of the major powers that night.
Obviously, being attacked by an eagle is a rare occurrence, especially in the city, and even as soon as the news appeared, it was talked about by many people.
Most people are amazed by this, but no one can guess that this matter is not simple, or even if they do, it is 108,000 miles away from the truth.
"It must be the blessing of the gods in the heavens that Janos Slint, who should have gone down to the seven layers of hell, to be punished!"
Some of those who had suffered were relieved by this, and this attitude became a mainstream after the news spread to the civilian class of King's Landing.
The commander of the garrison did not do his job, thinking about how to be corrupt and enriching all day long, and he also stuffed some drunkards into the garrison, this irresponsible situation obviously could not be respected by the people, let alone Genos Slint himself was not a good thing.
In addition, the insiders of the garrison are also full of schadenfreude about what happened to this -
Those who were accepted by him to mess around or from all sides were not sent in for nothing, not only did they need to pay bribes, but the wages paid to them by the Iron Throne would also be continuously "raked" afterwards.
At the same time, the vacant post of commander has made many people's eyes hot, so the young Minister of Justice, who was not taken seriously in this regard, has become a sweetheart in recent times.
……
"The capital garrison is responsible for maintaining law and order in King's Landing, and the position of commander of the garrison naturally needs to be carefully considered, Lord Lan Li, I don't know if you have a suitable candidate?"
After another imperial meeting, Varys, the pink-robed intelligence chief, approached to inquire.
Ever since Lan Li became the Minister of Justice, the bald eunuch nicknamed the Octopus Spider has been constantly showing kindness to Lan Li, and Lan Li has been able to hear some hidden things from his mouth.
To be honest, if it weren't for his special spiritual talent, Lan Li really wouldn't be wary of this guy, but now, he just felt that this guy was very mysterious.
"There are no suitable candidates yet, and they are being screened." Lan Li replied as she walked.
This is the truth, in peacetime, if you want to support someone to be the commander of the garrison, it is naturally impossible to directly send someone to parachute over, and you can only choose from the original officials of the garrison.
However, it is not easy to choose the right person from the intricacies of chaos.
"I wonder if you've heard of Jeslyn Biowatt?" The pink-robed eunuch followed him and asked.
"The new captain of the Mud Gate?"
"yes, I think he's a good candidate." Varys said sincerely.
Lan Li looked at him when he heard this, feeling surprised.
In the past two days, many people have come to visit him, the purpose is to serve as the commander of the garrison of the capital, but none of those visitors are so "single-handed".
For example, Mace, who is currently the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Duke Tyrellle, before talking about business, talked about Lan Li's adopted son life in the High Court for a long time, and how he was optimistic about Lan Li, and finally seemed to casually mention a suitable person from a local background.
However, local origin does not mean that he is a member of the local forces, and after a little investigation, Lan Li directly learned that that the candidate was actually the representative of the forces supported by the Duke of Tyrell in the garrison.
"Jacelyn Bywatt has been involved in the war against the Iron Isles, and it is indeed more appropriate than those who have not made meritorious contributions." Lan Li replied to the question of the pink-robed eunuch: "But the position of the commander of the capital garrison is very important, and I need to think about it carefully. ”
"It's nature." Varys smiled when he heard this, "I just think Jacelyn Baiwatt is more suitable, if you don't have any other suitable candidates, you can investigate him more." ”
Then the fat man didn't say much, and after chatting a few words, he took his leave and left.
Lan Li continued to walk towards his "office".
As one of the most important ministers of the state, it is natural that the Minister of Justice cannot not have a corresponding office location.
In fact, Lan Li has an entire tower in the Red Keep, which is a tall tower connected to the Red Keep dungeon, in addition to a few assistants and clerks, there are also some jailers guarding the dungeon.
Compared with the unregulated organization of the capital garrison, the dungeon of the Red Fort in charge of the Minister of Justice was successfully taken over by Lan Li without the slightest obstacle, after all, the dungeon and the prisoner are not important things, and the current era does not deprive the criminals of their personal freedom, and the punishment of being detained in the prison -
Except for nobles or some important people, no one would take ordinary civilians to eat and drink in prison.
In fact, the manpower of the prison is not directly under the jurisdiction of Lan Li, but is managed by the imperial magistrate, or the king's exclusive executioner, but the current imperial magistrate is an old man who was plucked out by the mad king of the previous dynasty, and he can't manage others at all, so Lan Li is still directly responsible for including the prison chief and the jailer.
After entering the tower, some of the dungeon workers on the first floor chatting greeted him, and after nodding in response a few times, Lan Li walked down the building towards the tower.
Regarding the position of commander of the garrison, Lan Li actually did not have a very suitable person of his own, because the capital garrison at this time was a complete mess, and those who were capable were people from other forces, and he could not look down on those who were incapable.
Under normal circumstances, Lan Li's choice for this position is that he can only "ally himself" with a certain force, and he can't install his own people, because he has no people of his own to use at all.
But right now, something is not normal.
……
After entering the "office", a middle-aged man with short hair who had been waiting for a long time then looked over, and after seeing Lan Li nodding at him, he even walked over and bowed.
"Lord Lanli."
"Samwell. Tully? Lan Li asked rhetorically.
"Adults can call me Sam." The other party replied.
"I have an attendant with the same name and surname as you." Lan Li smiled at him, then walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.
"I've seen that little fat man." A middle-aged man with dark brown hair and a beard sat honestly across the desk, while a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Excellency didn't bring him to King's Landing?"
"I'm staying on Dragonstone Island for the time being, and I'll be in King's Landing in two days." Lan Li said, glanced at the other party's body, dressed in a golden robe and chain armor unique to the capital garrison, and couldn't help but speak: "You really have an idea, you can even think of blending into the garrison." ”
"It's one of the few options we have." Samwell, from more than 200 years ago, replied, "For us, Genos Slint is a good guy who collects money to do things. ”
"Let me guess, there won't be any of you in the Great Wall of Northern Desperation, right?"
"We do want to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch at the Wall." Samwell admitted.
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders when he heard this.
The person in front of him is one of the ancient people of Megg's gang, who had joined the capital garrison in the early years, and now he has become the captain of the garrison of the Lion Gate, one of the seven gates of King's Landing, and he also has a certain number of manpower, which is enough to be the commander of the capital garrison.
Lan Li was ready to promote this ancient man to be the commander of the garrison.
This choice is not the most perfect, but it is the most suitable for Lanli.
However, calling this person here at this time is not because he wants to take the school exam or something, in fact, Lan Li has already secretly used the psychic moment to test the other party, and now calling this person here is actually something else.
"I hope your people will take me to the territory of the Frey family in the Riverlands." After a few small talks, Lan Li spoke, "Figure out everything that's going on there." ”
