On the 22nd, near noon.

In front of the town hall building in Port Tulum, on the wide stone steps, the expressionless Vigral stood in the center, with Hesse and the Duke of Ross on either side of him.

At the side of the Dukes of Hesse and Ross were the three new members of the Council of Seven in Port Tulun, the newly appointed Mayor of Port Tulun, the newly appointed President, Secretary General, Clerk of the Port Tulun City Council, the President of the District Court of Port Tulun - Justice Dogram, and the Chief Stein of the Port Tulun Police Department......

Incidentally, Director Stein, who had just been appointed, successfully entered the Tulun Port City Council, and skipped the stage of ordinary councillors and became one of the thirteen chief members of the city council.

As a result, Director Stein's influence successfully broke through the limitations of the police station and began to extend to all walks of life and departments in the port of Tulum.

Behind them in Hesse are the new heads of the official departments of the port of Tulun, the members of the city council, and the heads of the civil associations of the port of Tulun, who have just been approved.

With the exception of Vigral, everyone was smiling and dressed in grand dresses.

More than a dozen reporters stood more than 20 feet in front of the crowd and set up a row of six of the latest cameras. A smiling little old man, Mr. Lunkeba, acting editor-in-chief of the Tulum Port Post, raised his right hand and laughed loudly: "Your Excellencies, look at my arm, and laugh!" ”

Except for Vigrar, whose face did not move, the others laughed brighter and brighter.

Six clouds of thick white smoke erupted from the camera, and in August 1379, the family portrait of the new power layer in Tulun Port was engraved on the bottom plate.

"Ho ho, that's a fun novelty...... This is the first group photo of government officials in the history of the port of Tulum, and I think it should be well recorded in the local annals. ”

Duke Ross was smiling, his face flushed, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

She stood on tiptoe and beckoned to Mr. Lenkeba: "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, after the photo is washed out, use the largest edition, enlarge it for me to the largest, and I will frame it and hang it in my study." ”

Duke Ross quickly fanned the small folding fan: "This is the port of Tulum...... No, as far as I know, this is the first group photo of all government officials in the entire empire. After washing it out with the fastest speed and the best materials, I will send one to the imperial capital to present to our esteemed Majesty the Empress! ”

Viglaar, who was surrounded by the stars and moons, turned his head and glanced deeply at Duke Rose.

Duke Ross shrugged his shoulders and raised his head proudly: "Your Excellency Vigrar, although Her Majesty the Empress is your maternal grandmother, a cold and boring man like you does not understand women at all...... Her Majesty is a little older, but she still likes novelty things. ”

Squinting his eyes, Duke Ross laughed sharply: "Believe me, as long as the photos I sent over arrive in the imperial capital, Her Majesty the Empress will come to the door one by one and ask the great nobles of the imperial capital to ......take pictures with her."

Laughing, laughing, Duke Ross restrained his smile and covered half of his face with a small folding fan.

"The camera of the Ice Kingdom...... Well, the camera, and the consumables...... Your Majesty will definitely be interested, then, if I buy out all the cameras in the port of Tulum...... Hohoo ho! ”

Vigrar's face twitched violently.

He looked around at the crowd of officials and parliamentarians and coughed softly.

As a result, the surroundings became silent, and everyone put on an extremely respectful and respectful face, looking at Vigrar who was surrounded in the middle with a smile on their faces.

"The Mid-Autumn Bloody Case shocked me."

Vigrar said slowly, "I am glad that with the concerted efforts of all of you, we have roughly clarified the truth of the Mid-Autumn Massacre. This is enough to prove the power of the Empire, and it is enough to prove your talents. ”

Hesse laughed, and he led the way to applause.

For a while, there was thunderous applause all around, and even the policemen on duty patrolling the square in front of the city hall were busy applauding and cheering.

Vigrar raised his hands and pressed them down gently, and the applause and laughter came to an abrupt end.

"However, there is still a lot of work to be done."

"For example, the original Tulum Harbor Committee of Seven family, are all six families sinners? I don't see, not necessarily. ”

"Intensify the trial, step up the identification, and do not let go of a bad person, nor wronged a good person. Your Excellency Hesse, you have to grasp this work, you must grasp it, you must grasp it well, and you must do it well, and there should be no omission. I reiterate my point that no bad person should be spared, but no good person should be wronged. ”

"The Tulum Port Committee of Seven should still be a Committee of Seven. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, just for reference! ”

Hesse bowed to Vigrar solemnly.

Many officials on the side laughed - your personal opinion? FYI? Ho, Your Excellency the Inspector General, who would dare to ignore your opinion?

Vigrar nodded, he glanced at everyone around, and said coldly: "According to the report I received, the investigation of the Mid-Autumn Bloody Case can be suspended...... Now that the culprits responsible for the bloodshed have been arrested, the port of Tulum should be restored to order as soon as possible. ”

"A port of Tulum full of barricades, full of field guns and flintlock rifles, and with battleships floating in the sea of the harbor area, it is not the real port of Tulum."

"Distinguished gentlemen, go back to your posts and perform your duties. I hope that the port of Tulum will be back on its rightful track by noon tomorrow at the latest. ”

Vigrar glanced around sternly.

The newly appointed officials straightened up at the same time, then bowed to Vigrar at the same time, and turned to leave.

"Your Excellency Hesse, please hold on for a moment. And, Lord Ross. And, three new Commissioners! Vigrar stopped Hesse, who was also about to leave, and beckoned to Duke Ross, who was standing by and thinking about something.

Hesse and the three new members of the Council of Seven stood still, and Duke Ross took two steps towards Vigrar with his small folding fan.

"Do you have any other orders, Lord Vigrar?" Duke Ross yawned lazily: "Restore order in the port of Tulum? I agree with you, but I must say that there are still some clues that are worth looking for. ”

"I know there are some deep-seated issues that need to be pursued." Vigrar said in a deep voice: "For example, the problems within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Navy, the spies of the Highland Kingdom in the port of Tulum, the attack on Heniway and Hanks, the case of Zahir being killed...... Even, in this attack, some of those responsible were held accountable after the fact......"

Vigrar pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth tugging slightly, and he smiled extremely stiff and cold.

"It also includes negotiations with the Kingdom of St. Sia, with the Church of the Golden Oak, with the Kingdom of the Ice Sea, with the Kingdom of the Highlands, and with the Republic of Gaul...... There are some things that are not the port of Tulum, and the Southern Special Administrative Region of the empire has the authority to undertake. ”

"These things are taken over by the Inspectorate and the special powerful agencies of the Empire, and you only need to be responsible for the restoration of order in Tulum as soon as possible, and that is enough." Vigrar pulled out a pair of gray silk gloves from his pocket, grabbed them with his right hand, and gently tapped the palm of his left hand.

Grabbing the gloves and slapping his palm more than a dozen times, Vigrar looked at Hesse and said, "Your Excellency Hesse, in my impression, you are a person who follows the rules!" ”

Hesse bowed to Vigral: "I have always been law-abiding and law-becoming, Your Excellency the Inspector General, in the port of Tulum I am a model of law-abiding and good citizens!" ”

Vigrar pouted, "Perhaps...... I hope that you will continue to be 'conformist' in the future...... Oh no, it's the fine virtue of 'obeying the law'. ”

"Rules, the most important rules of the Delen Empire, I also hope that we can all follow the rules."

Vigrar pointed at Duke Ross, and then at Hesse: "I know that your son is very beloved by Your Excellency, but it is not a good thing to pull out the seedlings and help them grow. Joe Jon Wittu, I would like to believe, relied on his own abilities to get those feats. ”

"But a young man who was a few days away from his eighteenth birthday...... First lieutenant, it's already a bit excessive. Lord Ross, Lord Hesse, a little too much. Vigral put on his gloves very carefully, and then clenched his fist vigorously: "This is the only time, not the next one...... For the sake of the fact that this matter was resolved well, only this time. ”

Vigrar said slowly: "I rarely give extrajudicial mercy, so don't do it again next time." But since he already has so much credit in his name, this time, we still follow the rules. ”

Hesse and Duke Ross glanced at each other, Hesse bowed deeply, and Duke Ross laughed sharply.

"Well, that's the thing, the special investigation team in the port of Tulun, can stop, the relevant powerful departments of the empire, their people have entered the port of Tulun, if necessary, they will seek your cooperation; If they don't look for you, you should not know what to do. ”

"Also, can the four Excellencies give me a thin noodle to have lunch with His Highness Frevice von Hyderabad?"

Vigrar squinted and glanced deeply at Duke Ross: "Your Excellency Ross, I took up your morning time, and Frevice was supposed to visit you. ”

"In that case, let's go together at noon. Sir Ross, please bring that survey with you. For the sake of the Empire, there are some disputes, and we can sit down and talk about them. ”

Half an hour later, Qiao, who was squatting at the door of the small pharmacy of the grimace shopkeeper, swallowed a bowl of fragrant scallion oil noodles, received an official notice.

The Special Investigation Team for the Mid-Autumn Bloody Case was disbanded and all investigation work was suspended.

The police department has another appointment for Joe, and Joe is asked to rush to the police station as quickly as possible to obey the appointment of Director Stein.
