Chapter 136: The New City Division
In fact, Robert really thought badly, and Situ Nan definitely didn't want to go against him.
For so many years, although Situ Nan has been a staunch supporter of Robert, for Situ Nan, everything he does is considered from the standpoint of the empire. It is in the interests of the empire to let Theresia sit on the throne of Orlando, and this is also what the old emperor agreed with Glen VII in advance.
Ever since Teresia was born, the old emperor had been raising her as a future empress. Let Theresia inherit the throne of Orlando, no matter what happens in the future, at least it can guarantee that Orlando will definitely stand on the same line as the Yarrow Empire, and there is really no reason to give up all this at this time.
However, in this matter, Situ Nan's heart for the country and Robert's heart greatly conflicted. At this time, the ministers proposed that Situ Jin take over the position of city secretary of Tias, which was naturally a great violation of Robert's wishes.
Although the administrative efficiency of the empire has always been relatively low, no matter how stupid people know that they can't delay in this matter of Tias.
Soon, the newly appointed city secretary Coney Bedford set out from the imperial capital with a pair of prospecting personnel to Tias, along with the results of the Empire's time sentence for Tias.
Situ Jin and Fielding received the newcomer, Lord Chengshi.
Speaking of which, in fact, this Bedford has just turned 20 this year, and like most aristocratic sons in the imperial capital, he stays at home every day and is idle, putting his time and energy on the sound of dogs and horses.
If it weren't for the fact that his father Martin was favored and had been praising his son for his excellence in front of the eldest prince Robert, he would not have been able to take up the position of the city governor of this Tias.
Once put on the official uniform, this Bedford was excited at home for many days, although his father was a minister of the court, but other people's officials and his own officials are completely two different feelings, even in the father and son, this is also fulfilled.
Fortunately, Martin also knew what kind of virtue his son was, and before Bedford took office, he instructed Bedford what to do after he came to Tias, and the most important of these was to desperately suppress Situ Jin.
Martin understands very well why he is appreciated by the eldest prince, because he has always looked at Situ Nan unpleasantly, so when Robert and Situ Nan have a bad heart, he will vigorously promote him.
And if he wants to continue to be favored, then he must stand more firmly on the opposite side of Situ Nan in the future, only in this way can he be of use to Robert.
Although this Bedford is a gentleman, fortunately, he still listens to his father. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Tias, he summoned the officials of Tias to gather at the city office, but he did not call his boss Tu Jin.
Now, every move in Tias City can't be hidden from Situ Jin's eyes, and Situ Jin is very clear about everything after Bedford and his party arrived in Tias, although the new city master did not summon him to meet, but he didn't care in his heart, but was happy.
However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care. No, Fielding is now standing in front of Situ Jin with an angry face, fighting for him.
"Hmph, Young Master Situ, this kid is so snub to you, aren't you angry at all?" Fielding had just met Baird in the City Mansion, and although Baird had always been very enthusiastic about him, he had always had a black face from beginning to end, and as soon as he left the City Mansion, he rushed directly to Situ Jin's manor.
Situ Jin sat on the sofa in the villa hall with a leisurely face, and before he could speak, Gao Wen, who was sitting next to Situ Jin, spoke: "Fielding, why are you still so angry, everything is written on your face!"
Fielding sat down on the other sofa with a dark face, and said, "If it weren't for Young Master Situ, Dulles and Marquis Li Kerst don't know when they will be arrested, and I don't know how long the matter of the purple mother mine will be concealed!
Situ Jin looked at Fielding and half-jokingly said, "Fielding, don't jump to conclusions so early! Wasn't I a young chick in your eyes before?!"
"This" Hearing Situ Jin's words, Fielding's face turned red, and then he said: "This is different, that kid is absolutely incomparable with Young Master Situ!"
Situ Jin didn't continue to talk about this topic, and suddenly said: "What is the final execution of this Tias incident by the Empire, this new city secretary should read it to you in public!"
Hearing Situ Jin's question, Fielding paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Except for the removal of Dulles and the Marquis of Lee Coster and the death sentence of the two, there is no treatment for other related people! And because the Marquis of Lee Koster is dead, this death penalty is actually just a saying!"
Situ Jin's face was calm, this result was similar to what he expected, at this time, in order to avoid any turmoil in Tias, the empire would definitely not delve into this matter.
However, there was another thing that made Situ Jin feel a little uneasy.
These days, Fielding often ran to him, and Stuart had learned from Fielding that every once in a while, a large number of weapons containing letters would be shipped out of Tias and destined for other countries.
Although he had known for a long time that the Marquis of Lee Kerst was also involved in this matter, Situ Jin was still a little surprised when he learned of the number of weapons that had been transported.
He was worried that Tias was already known to other countries about the existence of the Purple Mother Ore in Tias, who was located on the border of the Empire and bordered by other countries, and if any country really became interested in Tias because of this, then Tias would be in danger.
Originally, at this time, it was necessary to prevent the Vaal people on the opposite side of the "Duolun Grand Canyon" from suddenly attacking Tias, but now that he knew about this matter, Situ Jin immediately felt that the troops in Tias City were a little stretched.
While a few people were talking, Owen suddenly walked in from outside the villa.
It is worth mentioning that since he rescued Owen and his brother, Owen finally regained his spirit, and later the Marquis of Lee Kerst died suddenly, although he did not kill the enemy himself, but it was a great revenge, without this lock, Owen relaxed his whole person.
Although the Marquis of Lee Kerst was not killed by Situ Jin himself, Situ Jin's actions indirectly contributed to the death of the old Marquis, and his brother was also rescued by Situ Jin, Owen finally chose to stay by Situ Jin's side in order to repay his kindness.
Because Owen is good, today, he was arranged by Gawain to monitor Bedford's every move after entering the city, and seeing him come back suddenly, Gawain knew that he must have discovered something.
Sure enough, as soon as Owen entered the hall, he spoke, "Battalion commander, Bedford has just gone to Mrs. Lee Kerster. ”
