Chapter 51: Sinful Karma
Located in the middle of the city-state of Snowal, it is a Hefye Hall built of the hardest stone, the palace is large enough for thousands of people to live in it at the same time, and the staff of Snoar's staff are fortunate enough to move to the Imperial City, but they can only work and move around the front yard, and if they cross the line, they will be considered as breaking into the palace and will be shot by the guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Since the establishment of Resnoth, many officials who have just taken office have been mercilessly killed in the palace because they are not familiar with the terrain. This also led to a life-threatening parade of new officials to the palace, with the older generation of officials telling them where they could and couldn't go. Even so, there were many officials who, on a whim, ventured with their lives, and finally by the time of Resnot III, they could not stand the curiosity of these young talents, and the passage linking the front hall to the main hall was closed with thick walls, leaving only a passage to connect the front hall with the royal palace, and this passage was guarded day and night to block the curiosity of the newcomers.
Lin Hou's office was at the end of the corridor, and this so-called end was the wall that Cao Le had built to separate the officials of Snowal and Resnot, and Lin Hou tapped lightly on the wall beside him, wondering if his beating would be a response to the king's ears.
The work of the inspector is actually very simple, although he is subordinate to the General Directorate, but he no longer needs to go to the scene to supervise the officials, or ask for evidence, but has become a leader, his daily work is according to different levels of officials, appoint people with different abilities to supervise, check feedback and submit major cases to his superiors, although it sounds like a beautiful difference, it doesn't take much effort to understand the dynamics of the entire Snowal officials, but looking at the mountains of documents piled up on the desk, Lin Hou sighed, this entire imperial city official dynamics, he has to look carefully one by one, rubbed the bridge of his noseto keep yourself awake so you don't miss out on any important information.
At this time, the door of his office opened, Lin Hou frowned slightly, here, he can be regarded as the leader of the inspection department of Snow City, and opened his door without his consent, but it was extremely disrespectful to him, but when he saw the comer, the anger accumulated because of his work irritability was forcibly suppressed by his reason in an instant: "Master Miku, why are you here?"
Flag, Bart Miku, in terms of position, his job is the same as that of Lin Hou, but the only difference is that Lin Hou is at the level of the city-state, while he is at the level of the state. His job was to check the priorities reported to him by the inspectors of each city-state and send someone to solve them. In fact, this Lord Batmiku doesn't like Lin Hou, in his eyes, Lin Hou is just a person who uses his reputation and the face of the second prince to ascend to the throne, whether he has the ability or not I don't know, originally the position of Snow Alsca was intended to be reserved for his carefully cultivated juniors, but he didn't want to intervene such a person halfway: "Lin Hou, have you adapted to the work here?"
"Everything is normal, just like the documents I report to you every day, although there are a few officials who have some problems, but they are all under control. ”
"Very good," Baku walked to his desk, picked up a document casually and looked at it, and said with a lot of heart as he read it, "Is there any problem with the city lord of Luoli?"
"Please wait a minute!!" Lin Hou skillfully took out a stack of documents that had been sorted out from the bookshelf on the side and put them in front of Baku: "Lord Miku, here are all the dynamics and information of Luo Li and the Imperial City Lord this year, in my opinion, there is no big problem. ”
Baku nodded, and flipped through the information that Lin Hou had given him.
"Excuse me, is there any problem with the Luoli City Lord, do you need me to send someone to investigate?"
Baku didn't answer him, continued to look at the information, half a ring passed, raised his head in some disappointment and said: "It's nothing, Luo Li, the royal department is also an old official, the recent election turmoil, he is a big celebrity, and the head of the department also wants to see if he has any problems on a whim." ”
"As far as I know, the Lord of Luoli City has always been very upright, even if he requires his own son to follow the rules, such a person should not do anything corrupt and pervert the law. ”
"This is not necessarily, I have been in this business for a long time, you must know that few officials in the imperial capital are clean, and many people seem to be more honest on the surface, but they actually eat more meat than anyone else. ”
"Do you want me to send someone to check on him?"
"No!" Baku closed the document and handed it back to Lin Hou: "This person has a special identity, and ordinary officials don't dare to mess with him." I want you to find out for yourself. ”
His brows jumped slightly, and Lin Hou took the material: "Obey." ”
This is also one of the duties of the inspector, that is, when a big person like the lord of the city has a problem, the inspector has the responsibility to personally intervene. Picking up Fang Cai's information about Luo Li and looking at it, Lin Hou frowned, obviously Baku hoped that he could find Luo Li's problem, but as Lin Hou himself said, Luo Li had heard of Luo Li's name for a long time when he was not an official, and this person's reputation among the people was very good, and he was often praised. As far as Lin Hou is concerned, he also approves of him very much, and he doesn't want such a good official to be ruined in his own hands.
After carefully reading the information, Lin Hou left his palace, the route was already very familiar, after a few turns, after walking a few streets, he came to a casino, looked at the people around him who did not follow him, and walked in, seeing that there was no one on the table in the corner, Lin Hou walked over and sat down, asked the clerk for a glass of ice water, and after a while, a young man in front of him sat opposite him: "Mr. want to play a game?"
Looking at the man in front of him, Lin Hou's eyes narrowed: "I didn't expect that you would be disguised." Fei Sakura!"
"It's just a few tricks, and it's a far cry from the elves' transformation magic. Fei Ying said as she played with the cards in her hand: "Let's have a game?" Before Lin Hou could respond, Fei Ying had already begun to deal cards, Fei Ying nodded and picked up the cards.
"How's it going? Did someone ask you to investigate Luo Li?"
"As you speculated, today the whip suddenly came, let me personally investigate the city lord of Luoli. ”
"This election incident Luo Li did not come forward at all according to the wishes of the eldest prince, the number of votes is still so high, it is inevitable that the eldest prince will deal with him, and you are the person recommended by the second prince, it is up to you to do it, it is easy to lead the spearhead to His Royal Highness. ”
"I can deal with it casually, but what does Your Highness mean?"
"Sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, everyone understands this truth, you have to check, but not only to check Luoli, but also to find out who is qualified to mobilize you to let you investigate a city lord, preferably, you can give him all your merits directly or indirectly. ”
"Understood. Lin Hou looked at the cards in his hand: "But there is another question, is there really a problem with Luo Li? What if I can't find anything? Do you have any information over there?"
Fei Ying shook her head: "Luo Li's high reputation is not a fraud, although the eyes of the masses are sometimes affected by rumors, but after all, there is no wind and no waves. I'll help you too, but don't get your hopes up. ”
Lin Hou nodded, in fact, he was still very happy to hear such news, after all, he respected Luo Li from the bottom of his heart.
"If Luo Li himself is in the right place, you can also start with his family, after all, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, even if he himself is honest, he is not allowed to control himself like him. Fei Ying said again.
"His family?" Lin Hou's eyes flashed, this was a good idea. However, his brows were furrowed: "It seems that in terms of gambling, it is really not as professional as you who are a halfway monk like me." ”
Fei Ying smiled: "It's mainly talent and luck. You're talented, but you're a bit lucky this time, so you're in for a treat this time. ”
Lin Hou nodded, took out a gold coin from his money bag and put it on the table: "Learn gambling with you, the tuition is really not cheap, I'll leave first!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
Fei Ying picked up the gold coin, put it into the belt of his clothes, took a sip of wine, and after a while, a man wearing a mask sat in front of him, this person was the city lord of Gother City not long ago, but now he has become Ling Chen's subordinate, this person is Olan, but now the name Oran can no longer be used, so Fei Ying generally calls him a lone wolf: "You are looking for me?"
"If you and Liao Qi go head-to-head, who is the best?"
The lone wolf said almost without thinking: "Naturally, it's Liao." ”
"So if you were asked to stalk him, would you be exposed?"
"It's not good to say, although Liao Qian's strength is good, but he is used to fighting head-on, if you really talk about reconnaissance skills, it may not be very powerful, but I don't dare to guarantee it. ”
"Tsk, what if this is left to the Phantom?"
"Do you want to stalk Liao? She's better at stealth than I am. The lone wolf thought for a moment, "Can I ask, why did you follow Liao?
Fei Ying looked at the lone wolf and smiled: "I didn't let you follow him, just to gauge everyone's strength so that I can make the right arrangements for the next plan." ”
"But it seems to me that the Phantom is not in His Highness's camp yet. His Highness shouldn't be able to manipulate her well. ”
Fei Ying nodded: "You're right, but fortunately, she is Ye Xiao's person, and His Royal Highness Ye Xiao is establishing a bounty hunter union to complete commissions for those who are troubled." ”
"Bounty Hunters Association, isn't that a toy for His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
"So those of you who are accustomed to serving the country are always used to ignoring the power of private industry, and the core figure of this private industry is still a prince!!"
