After returning from his previous life, everything around him was still frozen in frost, and time was still in a state of stopping.

And where Chino had left, there was an afterimage, and he stood at the afterimage, and the frost disappeared in an instant, time returned to normal operation, and the world was full of life and color again.

Chino glanced at the brand of the refuser, and now there was no countdown.

According to the information revealed by Li Minkai, the reincarnation disguise can present a fake countdown, so once the countdown appears, the possibility of the reincarnation team infiltrating must be considered.

But if there is no countdown at all, it means that the invasion has not begun, and there is no such thing as a camouflaged invasion.

When the countdown will appear, Chino doesn't know, taking advantage of this gap, he can make a defensive arrangement early.

He is now the administrator of Twilight City, a city with a population of more than 200,000, a standing army of about 5,000, and a better quality of troops than Shirin Town, and a powerful force that can be called upon at any time.

Although you can call on more troops, the opponent of the next invasion will also be stronger.

He consumed a lot of stats in the triple shackles, and the next invasion of the reincarnation team may not be Li Minkai's first-order Muggles.

In the face of the increasingly strong reincarnation team, in addition to the regular forces under his own command, it is also very important to make good use of the transcendents of this world.

The transcendents of Dogurland are basically absorbed by the royal family and the five major royal families, and the remaining scattered nobles also have some.

If you want to get the help of transcendentals, in addition to co-opting yourself, it is also important to have a good relationship with the higher-ups.

The goal of the royal family is too far for the time being, at least at the level of a provincial consul, or some major feats to enter the royal palace.

Chino now has a bargaining chip in his hand - the method of smuggling salt crystals abroad.

He needed an opportunity to enter the royal city and deliver information to the royal family in order to gain trust.

Or, it seems that it is not bad to directly use intelligence to envelop a certain party of the Five Great Lords' Families, but the risk of being unloaded and killed by the donkey cannot be ruled out.

Just as Chino was weighing, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

Outside the door, Paladin said, "My lord, the civil councillor of Pulo asks to see you. ”

"Wait a minute." Chino found that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he began to change into the executive uniform, put the formal wear into the space ring, opened the door and walked out.

Paladin led Chino to the conference hall, his face very gloomy: "He escorted those two over. ”

"The two?" Chino muttered, quickly reacting, "Oh, they..."

When they arrived at the conference room, Pessie, the civil magistrate of Plo, had been waiting here for a long time, this was a short, bloated fat man with obscene green bean eyes.

When Pesci saw Chino, he immediately groveled: "Gui'an, Lord Administrator." ”

Chino sat down in his seat and looked at Pesci with playful eyes: "It's very efficient, I just wrote to you a few days ago, and I came to the door today?" ”

In the past, when he encountered something entrusted by a civil affairs official at the same level, especially the trivial matter of sesame mung beans, Pexi could basically procrastinate.

If Chino was still the civil magistrate of Shirin, he would never have met Percy so soon, but now that he is the administrator of Twilight City, he leads 11 towns, including Pulo, and it would be really funny to delay it any longer.

Percy bent down and said respectfully, "Your request is my top priority, so I personally brought these two men." ”

Soon, Pesci's entourage escorted two gray-faced men with frightened eyes.

A man and a woman, putting aside the dirt of the long journey, the woman's face is good, and the man's figure is burly, but it is also a good match.

Pesci introduced: "Jeanica Maupassant, Vic Solifa, the two parties mentioned in your letter who fled with the money. ”

When the two saw Chino, they unconsciously knelt down with weak legs: "Your Excellency..."

Chino looked at Jenica and complimented, "Madame, you are so beautiful, no wonder little Luca is so cute." ”

Jenica's eyes fluttered and she asked tremblingly, "Do you know Luca?" Luca she... Where is it now? ”

Chino shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Luca and Ramos were killed by horse bandits and left this world. Even if he is still alive, he is locked up in the upper epidemic area, without freedom, like a caged bird. ”

Jenica looked flustered and tried to quibble: "My lord, please be aware of everything!" I borrowed the money from Ramos because I was really having business difficulties, and I plan to pay him back after the turnover! ”

Paladin heard this, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "Lie! Goddamn bitch, dare to quibble here? Forget about leaving your family behind, and cheat away the hard-earned money to save your life, the child is only 12 years old! Are you human?! ”

Both Jenica and Vic shrank their heads, afraid to speak.

Chino looked sideways at Paladin: "You've crossed the line, it's not your turn to speak here." Apologize to them. ”

"I—" Paladin was furious and wanted to retort, but the upsurge of blood quickly dissipated under Chino's gaze, and he bowed his head reluctantly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry." ”

Jennika and Vic hurriedly waved their hands: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Let's get down to business." Chino looked at the two of them and said slowly, "I've read the report submitted by the civil councillor Pesci. You and Ramos borrowed privately during the marriage, and you didn't even leave an IOU or any documents to prove the debt. Therefore, this debt cannot be proved in legal theory. ”

Paladin was startled, and looked at Chino with a complicated look in his eyes.

Chino continued: "According to the Code of Doguland, there is no doubt about the guilt. There is no direct evidence that you took Ramos's money, and Ramos's testimony is only a one-sided statement. Therefore, theoretically you are innocent, and even if you are sent to the court, the judge will not convict you, and so will your lover, and your fornication is at best a moral matter, and you will not be punished. ”

Paladin gritted his teeth reluctantly, but could not do anything about it.

Jenica and Vic only felt their tense nerves loosen, their faces were full of happiness for the rest of their lives, and they looked grateful: "Thank you! Chino-sama! You are such a great administrator! ”

[Respect from Jeanica Maupassant: 25]

[Respect from Vic Sorifa: 17]

"Thank you for the compliment, for the part." Chino shrugged his shoulders, his amber eyes filled with a smile, "But, in fact, you and I know very well that you two did cheat out of money, but we didn't leave any evidence." Although you are exempt from punishment, I personally think that you should go and apologize to their father and daughter out of the most basic courtesy - of course, the choice is yours, and I did not force it. ”

Jenica and Vic are exempted, and they must give Chino face at this time: "Yes!" We're going to apologize to them! ”

Chino asked tentatively, "Are you sure?" ”

Jenica and Vic said in unison: "Sure!" ”

"Are you really sure?"

"Sure!"

"Really, really sure?"

Jenica and Vic were stunned, isn't it just a farewell to the body, is it necessary to confirm it so many times?

They said with certainty, "Sure!" ”

Chino touched the back of his head: "Well, since you are willing, it is still a conscience." Out of respect, the next step is up to you, in what way do you want to apologize? ”

Jenica thought for a moment, the cemetery was far from here, and a carriage ride was the best, but in order to appear religious, she said heavily: "We are willing to walk!" ”

"Foot punishment?" Chino was a little confused, and asked Paladin, "Is there such an execution method as 'foot execution' in the Dogulander Execution Book?" How come I never saw it? ”

Jenica's expression froze, her eyes widened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Wait... What? Execute? What do you mean, my lord?! ”

Chino was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say you were going to apologize to Ramos and Luca?" ”

Jenica was so panicked that she couldn't finish her words: "Yes... yes, just... Go to the cemetery and apologize... Farewell to the remains! ”

"Farewell to the body?" Chino seemed to have heard some kind of joke, "Are you kidding me?" What is dead is dead, and the body cannot hear you, what is there to say goodbye to? I'm talking about apologizing in person. They went to the afterlife, and you should also go to the afterlife, otherwise how can you apologize in person? ”

Vic was so frightened that the six gods were gone: "My lord! It's a misunderstanding! Jenica and I didn't mean that! ”

Chino said helplessly: "I asked you three times, three times, and you all said yes, of course I had to do it." Paladin—"

Paladin stepped forward: "In! ”

Chino: "I'll take care of this and send them to apologize." As for the way, if they choose, you let them choose. If they don't choose, you choose for them. ”

At this moment, Paladin, who was originally depressed, only felt that the pores on his body were suddenly opened, not to mention venting his anger, he slapped Chino on his chest and saluted: "Obey!" ”

[Respect from Paladin Jones: 44]

[The individual has reached the maximum value limit and can no longer contribute any more Sentiment points]

"Woo! Spare your life! That's not what we meant!! Spare your life!! Amid the cries of the dog man and woman, Paladin grabbed them by the hair, dragged them out, and sent them to the execution ground.
