The Trojan Mansion is located in the Southside, the most prosperous part of Twilight and a veritable "rich man's district" where most of the aristocracy lived.

From afar, the solemn mansion of the Trojan Mansion stretches endlessly, and the sword and shield banners are lined up, symbolizing the unshakable majesty of the royal family.

There was a row of black-clothed guards inside and outside the gate, all of whom had cold faces and eyes like torches, adding a strong aura of solemnity to the mansion under the vast sky.

As soon as Chino approached, the captain of the guard stepped out of the queue and gave Chino a knightly salute: "Good morning, Your Excellency, welcome to you." ”

"Good morning." Chino responded politely.

The captain of the guard raised his hand: "Please come in." ”

Walking through the narrow corridor, Chino was taken directly to the meeting room.

The interior of the Trojan family is as murderous and bloody as their ethnic language, with swords and other metal ornaments, and from time to time you can see huge specimens of beast heads, hideous and angry, which makes people shudder to look at it from a distance.

At the end of the long table in the living room, Brooke wore a tight-fitting wide-sleeved aristocratic dress with red lines on a black background, and the white openwork square scarf and shirt inside stood out against the dark skin.

The clothes are good clothes, but this kind of graceful and luxurious clothing is inevitably a little out of place in his burly body.

Chino's gaze swept over the long table, and there were seven other people present besides himself.

They are the "Ombudsman" who is responsible for the monitoring of ethics and authority.

"Judges" who are responsible for the management of the affairs of the judiciary and the courts.

The "Fiscal Officer" who coordinates accounting and financial revenue and expenditure.

A "vigilante chief" who maintains daily law and order and public order.

A "builder" who specializes in urban building planning and maintenance.

The "Great Sacrifice" is a festival and prayer ceremony.

Brooke, the "military commander" in charge of the command of the army in wartime.

Together with Chino, the "administrator" who holds the power of government affairs and personnel, these eight people present constitute the core of the ruling class in Twilight City.

Because of the small population and low management costs of small towns, civil affairs officials often wear many hats.

From the level of the main city, there is a division of powers, and eight officials with different responsibilities jointly govern and check and balance each other, which is the "eight-office system" planned by the "Doguland Administrative Act".

Today, Brooke not only called Chino to the mansion, but also called the other eight officials.

It is worth mentioning that the seating layout of the long tables is very particular.

In the Doguran culture, the end of the long table is the most noble main seat, the closer to the two ends, the higher the status, and the farthest middle position from the two ends belongs to the "miscellaneous guest".

There are now 8 chairs in front of the long table, and the ones left for Chino are the utility seats.

Obviously, this is a deterrent.

Is the office of an administrator powerful? Of course, it's big, and the administrator is the number one in the main city.

But power is a very delicate thing, what does it mean to have a lot of power? It's not how much power this position gives you, but how far you can transfer your subordinates with this position.

If your subordinates don't listen to you, your power is an empty shell, so what if you're an administrator? What if you're a king? If no one enforces the decrees, your power is waste paper.

Needless to say, Brooke conveyed this to Chino just by seating arrangements.

Seeing Chino standing still, Brooke smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Lord Administrator, sit. ”

Chino did not respond to Brooke, nor did he move, but looked at the distinguished seat at the end of the other side of the long table, where the treasurer was sitting.

The treasurer looked at Chino, but pretended not to see it, and was still drinking tea carelessly.

Chino reached into his pocket, pretending to touch something, and then activated the space ring and took out a document.

"I didn't expect the Treasurer to be here, but what a coincidence, I want to visit you another day." Chino walked up behind the treasurer, opened the papers and placed them on the table in front of him, and said with a smile, "The death of the former administrator, Lord Huck Lorrison, is a sad thing, and I feel that there is something that should be handed over to you while I am sorting through the remaining documents. ”

The financial envoy originally had a casual attitude, but when he saw the contents of the document, his expression changed, and the blood on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he subconsciously closed the document.

The document that Chino brought was nothing else, it was the financial slip of the twilight city last year, and the money bank of the city's chamber of commerce, the one that made the fake account.

The financial envoy's eyes were uncertain, and the copy in front of him was a copy of the handwritten letter, and the original should still be with Chino.

The financial envoy didn't dare to look at Chino, quietly put the document in his arms, got up and gave up the position of the distinguished guest, and sat down in the position of the miscellaneous guest.

Under Brooke's deep gaze, Chino sat down unhurriedly in the guest seat, with the usual smile on his face: "Can you help me make a cup of tea?" ”

After speaking, he mobilized his motivation and pushed the cup of tea in front of him to the financial envoy.

Everyone couldn't help but squint, not thinking that the new administrator was still a transcendent person.

Brooke nodded to the waiter, and the new tea was quickly brewed.

"This is the 500 silver moons I compensated Paladin, and by the way, he is already a thousand-commander." Chino telekinesis moved five thick and bulging purses towards Brooke, each containing 100 Silver Moons.

Brooke motioned for the waiter to take the money away and store it, and then looked at Chino with a playful look: "I'm curious, you used to be the civil magistrate of Shilin Town, and your annual salary is 50 silver moons, where did you get so much money to casually take out 500 silver moons in compensation?" ”

Chino smiled non-smirked: "Maybe I should ask the financial envoy about this matter, he knows better than me." ”

Brooke's eyes hid red flags: "Watch your words, little one. You're a magistrate now, but one thing you need to know is that in the last 20 years, Twilight has had 12 administrators. ”

Chino quipped, "Troy of iron, administrator of flowing water." ”

"You're smart. In that case, let's not beat around the bush. Brooke's thick fingers twitched regularly on the table, "In the future, when you exercise the functions of an administrator and make personnel transfers, I hope you will say hello to me first." ”

Chino's smiling lips showed signs of staying: "You are a military commander, and personnel transfers are not your responsibility." ”

Brooke smiled meaningfully, "I didn't care, I just wanted you to discuss it with me in advance." ”

Chino: "When you talk about discussion, you mean - you nod your head, I carry it out." You shake your head, and I reconsider. ”

"If you can do that, trust me, you can stay in this position, and Twilight won't have a 14th administrator," Brooke playfully said. ”

As soon as Brooke's voice fell, the rest of the officials cast meaningful glances at Chino, waiting for his answer.
