Chapter 37: New Officials Take Office (3)
"This big fool is sick and delivers apples door-to-door?"
In the small living room, Governor Rurik and Police Chief Trusil looked at each other.
Like crazy, Duck had his men carry bags on their backs and do it himself, from the Inquisition to the City Hall, delivering apples door by door - except for the toilets. Now, the chief referee who carries the apple on his back to slap his subordinates has become the laughing stock of the entire Lorma officialdom.
After laughing, Rurik and Trussi did not fall into deep thought.
Duck undoubtedly has the support from above. So, to what extent and for how long?
The inquisition has the power of life and death, and he is a new official, if you collide with him at this time, the consequences will ...... Who will fire the first shot?
After being silent for a long time, Trusier said: "Anyway, this situation can't continue any longer. Administrative and religious affairs are one and the same, and if the Inquisition were to abandon the issuance of indulgences, it would be tantamount to the detriment of all of us. There is also the right to determine and judge heresy, which is too wide, and once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to gather again. ”
Rurik sighed: "Well, if we meet an inexperienced Shangguan, we people will have to bear more." A young man is ambitious, frivolity is inevitable, and he has just taken office, don't expect him to listen to the advice of the contrary. In this way, let's go to the side first, and report in detail to the Holy City, this is not a reform, but to dig the roots of the Holy Religion, I think the adults of the Holy City will definitely not sit idly by; ”
Troucier smiled bitterly: "I don't want to accompany him for a day, don't you know his face!"
"Then so be it, before there is definite news from the Holy City, everyone will listen to what he says, and put aside the work at hand first. ”
Trussillo was a little uneasy: "However, this kid can let go of cruel words, saying that if he is passive and slacking off, he will ......"
"What if you do something wrong? Don't seek merit but no fault, this rule will not be wrong anywhere. If a person can be sent down, he can be transferred back, and this kind of promising young man will only go down and walk around for gilding - I also put my words here, if anyone acts rashly and follows the blind toss, our circle will not be mixed up in the future. ”
"When the Governor said so, I was relieved. But ......"
"But what?"
"Sitting back and waiting passively, it seems a bit ......"
"I know you can't hold your breath, so let's make a little fuss and test it first to see what he can do. ”
Before dawn the next day, Catherine hurriedly knocked on Duck's door: "Hey, hey, the police department has caught a lot of heretics, waiting for you to sign it!"
Duck put on his pajamas, sleepy-eyed and stuck out his head: "It's so efficient, let them wait, they haven't gone to work yet, and they don't have overtime pay." We'll talk about it after eight o'clock!"
"Can't wait, there are too many people, there have to be five or six hundred!"
Duck was furious, this was a deliberate attempt to find fault: "How is it possible! Five or six hundred? Enough people for a year in one night? What's going on?"
"All the people who wore glasses and prosthetics were arrested. ”
Duck couldn't believe his ears: "What do you say? Glasses, prosthetics, what does this have to do with heresy?"
Isabella said, "I think it's your remark that caused the trouble, 'Anyone who modifies the sacred human body in any way is heretical.'" Isn't it a transformation to wear glasses to increase vision and prosthetics to increase physical mobility?"
Duck was angry and amused: "But there is no change in the original body, is it?
Catherine said: "Of course we understand the reason, this is the people below who pretend to be confused to make trouble for you." You see, this is not over, even if you explain it clearly, in two days something else will happen. ”
Duck laughed, "That's all I can do? I'll change my clothes and come later. ”
After a while, Duck walked out dressed neatly: "Let's go, go to the inquisition, call Vanessa and Woods, and start arresting people, and tell Rodriguez to prepare the torture chamber and open for trading!"
Catherine exclaimed, "You really want to judge them?"
"Of course not. I'm going to interrogate the officials who have captured these innocent and unfortunate people, and ask them how their hearts grow. ”
Catherine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again: "They will not give up, and will definitely say that you are unfair and absurd. ”
"And then I'm going to have to declare the reform a failure in a roar of scolding, and then roll back to the Holy City?" Duck sneered, "I'm going to see which is harder, the head or the skinner!
Catherine hurriedly dissuaded: "You're going to kill them? ”
"Miss, you calm down, within two days, I'll let them come over and kneel and lick. Officials below the governor of the city hall, whoever I want to be promoted, I can be promoted, and whoever I want to get out of the way, whoever has to get out of my way!"
Ignoring the crowd gathered at the entrance of the Inquisition, Duck walked into the conference room in a hurry, and opened the magic video communication with a casual shot.
Five minutes later, Governor Rurik's big oily face came out: "Morning, Director Dark, is there something wrong?"
Darker sneered, "Your Majesty, your men have caused me some trouble. It's not a big deal, but it makes me quite unhappy. ”
Rurik spread his hands helplessly: "Then I can only say I'm sorry, these stupid people in the police station failed to understand your subtle words and arrested the wrong person, so I will scold them fiercely." However, in order to avoid such incidents in the future, did you study the wording carefully before issuing the announcement?"
Duck laughed, "You mean I can't speak human language?"
"How dare you dare, it's that the people below are not flexible enough. ”
"To people, I want to speak human, and to mosquitoes and bugs, I do it directly. Isn't that the secretariat of the police station and the city hall? I'll tell you the results. ”
Rurik raised his chin proudly, meaning, if there is something to trick you.
"You have arrested a total of five hundred and six people, I don't want a fraction, count five hundred. According to the ratio of 10 to 1, if you arrest 500 innocent people, I will arrest 50 officials, first go through the torture chamber of the court, and then vomit out all the ill-gotten gains that have been looted over the years, and compensate the innocent people for their losses, and finally, these 50 bastards will all go home and farm for me. ”
This time it was Rurik's turn to laugh: "Can you do it?
Before he could finish a sentence, one of his men hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. His face suddenly changed: "Really?"
His subordinates nodded like chickens pecking rice.
Rurik suddenly turned red, pointed at Duck's nose with one hand, and said angrily: "Duck, you are ruthless enough? If you say that you will arrest people, you will arrest people? What kind of place do you think this can allow you to go wild? Lao Tzu tells you that the people you arrested today will have to be sent back one by one sooner or later, and you have to apologize in person!"
Duck dug his nostrils nonchalantly: "It's nothing more than going to the Holy City to complain, sue, I'll see who people will listen to when they come." How about we make a bet?"
Rurik said viciously: "You say!"
"If anyone loses, when there are more people at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the central street of Lorma City, bare-assed, four-legged crawl from the south gate to the north gate, how about it, dare you?"
"I'm afraid you won't dare!"
"Haha, okay, then it's up to each other. ”
Cutting off the communication, Rurik's subordinates were worried: "My lord, this kid is a mad dog, but you have to be careful of its bites." The torture room in the inquisition, that's not something ordinary people can live in, and besides, it's that perverted old madman Fernandez, I'm afraid ......"
Rurik smiled: "Isn't it torture to extract confessions? Don't worry, if he dares to come hard, he will crawl up! Release the news, let the streets and alleys know, and wait to see the bare-ass head climb the street!"
