031: Trickery at the table of power
Landnot, Saint-Joriete Palace
Named after the legendary hero of Landnot, the famous paladin Yorid, the Yorid Palace is a four-storey building with a tower structure that looks like a small castle, located in the center of Valan City, it does not belong to any family's private property, but only Landnot, belonging to the Purple Gold Empire!
At this time, in the main hall of the Saint-Joriete Palace, all the representatives who had a certain power in Landnot and some representatives from the people were gathered inside, and the originally spacious conference hall was already crowded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"**** women from good families, private prisoners... It is indeed an unforgivable crime, put their father and son in the dungeon, I will proceed to report to the imperial capital to revoke their noble status, as for the final result, everything will be carried out according to the laws of the empire, and it will be executed after the trial of the court, do you see this result satisfactorily?"
Viscount Ori, who was dressed in fancy clothes, informed the four representatives of the people, including the victims, of the preliminary results of the parliamentary hearing, and asked for their opinions in a sincere tone.
After the four representatives who learned the result looked at each other, it was finally the victim's father who said gratefully: "I have nothing more to say if I can bring the sinners to justice" After a pause, he looked at the unhappy face of the chief executive next to him, Baron Cadia, and added: "But I hope this trial can be carried out smoothly"
"Hehehehehe" Viscount Ori smiled approachingly, and said sincerely: "Doctor Brown, you don't have to worry, as the ruler of Landnot, I will never tolerate any evil deeds in my territory"
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Baron Cadia, who was sitting to his left, just below him, and asked, "Do you say so?"
The corners of Baron Cadia's mouth twitched unconsciously, and the iron-faced selflessness on his face was expression, secretly Baron Cadia had the heart to swallow the old man and Viscount Ori alive in front of him, no matter what, he couldn't understand how the right-hand man he had high hopes for was inexplicably lost!
First of all, his precious son, who has been in the Fengyue place all the year round, let go of so many women around him who are willing to choose, and suddenly ran to the **** good women.
At this time, the city guards, who had always been lazy, patrolled around there and caught him, and what made him even more angry was that Baron Drew, who was as stupid as a pig, did not consult with me as soon as he received the news, but rushed directly into the prison and released the person by relying on his position!
The worst thing is that the damn Jeffrey is not good at playing with anyone, but it is the well-known good old man in these blocks, a doctor who often does good things, and by the time he received the news, they had already waved their arms, and the people of several blocks joined in the fun to block Drew's house...
Is all this really a coincidence?
I'm afraid I don't even believe in ghosts!
There were many suspicions in his heart, but Cadia knew that this was not the time to be entangled, and in the face of Ori's 'earnest' gaze, despite all the reluctance in his heart, he still had to abandon the car in front of many nobles who were attached to him, and he muttered: "Since there are all human and material evidence, of course, everything is strictly implemented according to the laws of the empire!"
"That's good, that's good" Brown breathed a sigh of relief, thanked repeatedly, paused, he arched his hand and said, "Then bother the viscount, let's take our leave first"
After the resignation of several representatives of the people related to this evil act, the meeting did not end there, in fact, these nobles and lords present understood that the next topic of discussion was the main event of the day.
As the helmsman, Viscount Orry began with a few unrelated matters at the beginning, and then he muttered, "Is there anything else to discuss today? If not, we'll..."
"Lord Viscount..."Baron Chloa, who was sitting in the lower seat, took over the conversation, the failure of the impact promotion made him very angry, and he had long lost his usual heroic spirit, his eyes were cloudy and he sighed secretly, and said with regret: "I am over sixty years old, and I am no longer able to do my heavy military responsibilities, and I ask your lord to allow me to resign from this position."
Despite the preparations of those present, when Chloa was actually heard to say this, there was a brief silence in the conference room.
"Why should Baron Chloya be presumptuous" The first to break the silence was Baron Cadia, if he had been secretly happy at this time, he had just lost the important chess piece of Drew, and for a while he found someone who was qualified to take over the position hurriedly said:
"Have you forgotten the example of the hero Roroac who was nearly ninety years old before he advanced to the Sword Master? As a martial artist, you are still very young"
It could be seen that Chloa's eyes lit up, but it was only an instant that he returned to normal, and he still knew that he still had it, not to mention that he didn't know the real purpose of Cadia to keep him at this time, shook his head, and shirked again: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, don't persuade me, now I just want to live a life of teasing my grandson, and I don't want to worry about mundane affairs anymore."
Having said that, Kadia couldn't say anything more, and to everyone's surprise, when they arrived here, the venue fell into silence again.
Baron Cadia was caught off guard, Viscount Ori was also unprepared for this happy event, in his heart it was a foregone conclusion that Drew would sit as deputy commander, and even due to all aspects of the comprehensive consideration, he was ready to give up the heavy military responsibility.
Who would have thought that this soaring Drew would suddenly collapse and sink into the sand, and in the face of the empty cake, Ori would not accept it or not.
"Since Deputy Commander Kloya is going to make a decision, then I will not keep it anymore" After a short mutter, Ori then changed his words and said: "It's just that this military priority related to the safety of the people of Landnot cannot be relaxed for a day, I think we need to take this opportunity to discuss it?"
"Then what do you think the Viscount has to promote?" said Cadia, squinting
"I think Harry's young man is very good, he is also dutiful, and he has been the captain of the city guard for three years, what do you think?"
"Lord Viscount, are you kidding?" Kardia immediately retorted unexpectedly, "How can a mere golden swordsman be qualified to lead an entire army?"
"Can his strength improve slowly, after all, he's still young, isn't he?"
"This is not a sentence that can be prevaricated by youth, Lord Viscount, appoint a golden swordsman as the deputy commander, reputation aside, do you think the thousands of people under his rule can trust him?"
"What about Sanks?"
"Sanks, that old drunkard who was lucky enough to be promoted to the Great Sword Master last month? He's 58, if you choose him, will Baron Chloe still have to resign?"
..................
What followed was a tug-of-war over the candidates for this position, and neither Viscount Orry nor Baron Cardia were willing to let go of this important position, and they couldn't get the right candidate.
The main reason for this situation was that in the clash half a year ago, the big military cards on both sides were played early, although then Cadia designed to pit the commander of Carlos, who had high hopes for Ori.
But as the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, in that military revolution, a lot of people in their hands were also implicated, and there were no people who could do it at this time.
In fact, how could Landnot not be able to find a candidate to succeed him as deputy commander, but the powerful people who controlled these candidates were unwilling and did not have the confidence to be involved in this power dispute, so at this time, they all remained silent tacitly, waiting for the dust to settle down.
It's just that to everyone's surprise, at this time today, this balance that everyone already knows will be completely broken.
"Since everyone has elected so much, they all feel that it is not appropriate" Baron Chloa, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I have a candidate here"
Ori and Kadia, who were still arguing, were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand that Chloa, who had clearly made a gesture of self-preservation, would muddy the waters.
"Oh?" Viscount Ori turned to Baron Chloa and asked, "I wonder who the right person Baron Chloa is referring to?"
"The median Great Sword Master, only 28 years old, and more importantly, he is currently the captain of the city guard...," the old god of Kloya recounted.
There are absolutely only a handful of people with this kind of talent in Landnot, almost subconsciously, and a person will naturally come to the eye, and at this time, everyone in the entire venue is in high spirits, especially Baron Cadia, who has a fierce gaze in his eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone suddenly affirmed who the trick that hurt the entire layout of Kadia yesterday came from!
