After the old officers caught the bandits in Lorraine and Leo!. The first time to send someone to send Shi Ran to save the governor's letter.

And when writing that fully shows that Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine attaches great importance to it, Grandpa Leo pays great attention to it, and the officers and soldiers work hard together, persevere, fight for a day and a night, and finally defeat in one fell swoop the bandits who have been entrenched in the vicinity of Lushui Town for many years and oppress the people, the heart of the magistrate who is in charge of writing the report is also very bitter.

For five years, the local officers and soldiers have struggled. has repeatedly mobilized the people, but they have not defeated this gang of hooligans and underworld bandits, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has only walked the lower road, and she has easily brought this nest of thieves to life.

What does this mean?

Whether it is in the eyes of the common people, the governor, or the high-ranking officials, what did you magistrates eat and grow up?

It's really a bunch of rice that just eats dry rice

Although there are all kinds of coincidences in this, such as the bandit leader who is bent on going down the mountain to rob women, such as the hunting hobby of the Governor of Lorraine and His Highness Leo;

But everyone knows that the people above don't understand you like that.

And get the report of the subordinates at the first time. After knowing the news that the eldest princess's team had encountered bandits, the city lord of Freetown, despite his age of more than fifty, jumped up from the bed of his female secretary, and suddenly rushed to the city lord's mansion with his family members who came to report the news as if he was thirty years younger.

The officials of the team of the eldest princess are still very capable of doing things, and in the letter sent back, they explained in detail what they know about the situation?

Seeing that the eldest princess's team was unharmed, but the Governor of Lorraine and His Royal Highness Leo caught a group of bandits, the city lord of Freetown breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that if the eldest princess's team was attacked in his own jurisdiction, even if he lost his head, he, the city lord of a handful of years, would only wipe his neck and commit suicide to apologize

But that's it. The Lord of Freetown also knew that things were going on.

The subordinate officials of Freetown City were summoned to the City Lord's Mansion overnight, and the City Lord of Freetown had not had time to discuss countermeasures with his subordinates in a hurry, and at this time, a group of arrogant Praetorian Guards had ignored the obstruction of the City Lord's Mansion guards, kicked open the door of the conference room, and broke into it directly.

Seeing a group of soldiers in armor and swords at their waists, they all stunned the Freetown City officials who had just sat at the conference table and had not yet covered their buttocks?

The Praetorian Guard officer glanced at everyone indifferently, and then with a cold face, he showed a warrant signed by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, "Smack." slammed it on the table.

Immediately afterwards, he said sharply to the officials of Freetown City: "After investigation, Baron Peter Anke, the magistrate of Freetown City, colluded with the robbers, and the evidence is conclusive, and he has now been arrested. Local officials at all levels are scrupulously guarding their posts. You are not allowed to leave the city of Freetown. Those who violate orders dare to report the news, and those who spread rumors casually,"

Under that series of cold, murderous orders, all the officials of Freetown City were so shocked that they had not closed their mouths, and a group of Praetorian Guards had already turned around and left the conference room?

At this time, the officials who had just reacted looked at the city lord of Freetown in panic.

The Lord of Freetown heard this. The news fainted directly, and there was such a big Louzi. He, the lord of the city, is at the end of his life.

The subordinates watched sympathetically as their superiors were carried away, and then everyone became endangered.

You know, everyone here has received the benefits of Baron Peter Anker, and his position as a sheriff is purely made out of money.

For the first time in their lives, these officials took the initiative to work overtime without being asked to do so by their superiors, and urgently discussed countermeasures.

They know very well that none of their butts are clean. If Baron Peter Anker had the idea of not being lonely on the Yellow Springs Road, and climbed into a bite, all of his people would have to walk around without food.

If only this. The baron is in their hands, and everyone sitting here can ensure that he honestly confesses his guilt and obeys the law, and then he is sorry for the people, sorry for the empire, and he is committed suicide very smoothly.

But now that the people are in the hands of the eldest princess, they can only be anxious, and a few people who have ghosts in their hearts have made their own calculations with all their hearts, considering whether to abscond with the money?

And under the rescue of his family, the old city lord who finally woke up, opened his eyes and looked at the officials gathered around the bed, and the first sentence was: "I have"

These subordinates are now slandering in their hearts: This is not nonsense, of course you are guilty, if you are not guilty, how can you get promoted to official wealth? Why can't those bandits be exterminated? How did Baron Peter Anke climb to a high position? But these tell us that there is a fart

But they also know this. When the time comes, this old guy must be stabilized, as long as he lives, he can bear most of the blame, and at the moment he said something that he didn't even believe in, comforting the city lord.

The city lord of Freetown immediately handed a letter of victory to the top, and the next one was a confession and resignation.

The main thing mentioned above is: I don't know anyone, I was deceived by traitors, and I am responsible for the leadership of Baron Peter Anke and the bandits.

In a word, it is not that his subordinates are too incompetent, but that the empire has been defeated by the wise and martial emperor and the wise minister over the years. And the high-ranking officials of the empire have governed too well conscientiously, anyway, they don't walk and don't pick up the time, why don't they close their doors, and every house is too peaceful, and as a result, they lose the vigilance that an imperial official should have.

Here, I made an extremely profound review, as well as a flash of thought deep into the soul and self-criticism that went deep into the bone marrow, and I hope that all the bosses can see this review and give yourself a chance to continue to "serve the people."

A few days later, when the Governor saw the letter, he said only one word:

However, when he reported the incident to the Imperial Council, the Senate, and His Majesty the Emperor in his private letters, he almost did not say a word, and recopied the sycophants of the city lord of Freetown, and it can even be said that he only changed his name at the place where the final payment was made

Because the royal guards and those bandits were not on the same level at all, Lorraine and Leo's Tale of the Green Mountains and Bandits was only staged for one morning and then ended.

Before lunchtime, Leo returned to the camp with the so-called rags that neither he nor Vera could look down on.

However, Melina felt that the trip was worthwhile, which was an eye-opener.

These pampered nobles, except for a little special back, were captured by the robbers to be the ladies of the village, and they really didn't have the opportunity to see what the bandits and their camps looked like.

And Vera also used her own personal experience to once again prove that most of the legends in those dragons are deceived by dragons.

Those who can fight as thieves are mostly poor, and to put it bluntly, they are also those who rely on their strength to eat, and those who are engaged in physical labor, when have they seen those who can be rich and noble, but those who sell stolen goods, sit on the ground and share the stolen goods, and can make a lot of money

This is also understandable.

Because whether it is a bandit or a pirate, most of the goods they can get are transported by merchants, and the banking industry of the empire is not backward, and no one will run around on the road with a lot of cash.

And the cloths, utensils, and souvenirs that were stolen were of no value to the robbers if they were not exchanged for money. But how much are these things worth when they are given to those black market merchants?

Those who are responsible for selling the stolen goods are not Kaishantang, they can get 30% of the original price of the goods, and these robbers can snicker.

Vera made up her mind that she would return to Dragon Island in the future. You must sue those fools that there is no future for robbing the landlords or robbers who live in the castle, and it is better to rob those who sell the stolen goods, they are the rich and the oily.

All in all, everyone has their own gains from this operation.

Although it is not as exciting as the imaginary raiding of bandits, it has also gone through an addiction.

Leo didn't say hello in advance, and when he came back, he was immediately pressed on a stool by Catherine and beaten firmly on the buttocks. It hurts so much that this ruffian jumps up and down when he walks.

But he was beaten a lot, and he was also skinned, and even felt itchy all over his body without beating for a day. As soon as Catherine finished fighting, he slapped his buttocks, felt much more relaxed all over his body, and then wiped his nose and chased Melina to play.

Lorraine was scolded by Catherine, received a few kicks in the leg, and two pink punches in the stomach were fine.

But Adele is very angry with Lorraine, how can she not be called for such a fun thing?

Vera sighed and said to Adele that there were only a few thatched houses in it, which were not as good as the tenant farmers of the Lorraine family.

Lorraine and Leo wasted another morning, and the Praetorian Guards had to leave after lunch, but no one expected that at ten o'clock in the afternoon, the inhabitants of Greenwater Town would beat gongs and drums to send thank-you letters to Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and Her Royal Highness Leo.

Several people sitting in the tent looked at each other, and Catherinch said, "What's going on?"

Leo laughed and said, "I didn't expect my reputation to be so good, these dead people are so supportive of His Highness, hahahaha." ”

Lorraine said, "Why don't we go and see?"

Catherine thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let General Philip come forward, we have to go and have a lot of rules, but it's troublesome." ”

Leo blinked and begged Catherine, "Melina and I are just outside to take a look, I haven't seen anyone who sends a thank you note, I promise not to make trouble." ”

Catherine waved her hand and said, "Whatever you want, we will have to hurry up soon, and strive to get to Freetown City today, I have slept enough in this marching bed." ”

It's been a long time since everyone hit the road. Adele was still giggling.

Leo clasped his hands to his chest, his face black and angry.

Catherine looked at Leo's appearance, nodded at his head, and said, "Who are you angry with like this, have a long memory, and know that these things are all made out by the people below to fool you." ”

Leo snorted and said, "It's really infuriating, they are creating public opinion, this is Yan zhòng's bullying behavior, I want to punish them for the nine clans." Give them three thousand knives, light them sky lanterns, and dip them in pig coops."

Everyone in the carriage stopped paying attention to Leo, and Lorraine tore open the thank you letter in his hand with a thud, tore it to pieces a few times, and scattered it through the window.

The letter was written in a brilliant manner, praising Catherine, Leo and Lorraine as if they had descended from the heavens, and the bad thing was that although the messenger was a resident of Greenwater, it was a magistrate who started with it.

Leo sent a department of two soldiers to talk to the townspeople, and only then did he know that the letter of thanks was actually made by the official, and all the residents who participated were ten copper plates per person.

The original words of the common people are: What were you busy doing five years ago?

In the eyes of these people, since they pay taxes to you, it is only natural for the empire to protect them, and we didn't ask you for the loss fee for these five years, and thank you?

For this true and unpretentious public opinion. Even though Leo was rampant and domineering, he couldn't say anything, just looked at the magistrate in front of him who pretended to be elated and slapped on the back, and pretended to vomit.

When Leo came back and said, Catherine clapped her palms and said, "I'll just say it, it's the same old again." ”

Adele looked at Leo's frustrated and annoyed look, and laughed.

After Lorraine spilled the paper out of the carriage, she clapped her hands and said to Leo, "Okay, okay, don't take it seriously, who will be the one in the future." Praise you vigorously, you just think about it, whether this girl is trying to harm me. That way there will be no problem. ”

Not wanting to camp in the middle of nowhere, Catherine asked General Philip to speed up, and by the afternoon the Praetorian Guards had been protecting Lorraine's carriage for thirty miles, and by the time they reached the gates of Freetown, it was already dark.

The Praetorian Guards, on horseback, blocked the entire avenue, with several carriages in between.

Behind were the followers, and the torches lit by the procession lit up the vicinity of the avenue like a burning river.

The gates of Freetown are also transparently lit, and countless lanterns and torches are lit under the city daggers, and the big officials of Freetown City, who endure mosquito bites and steaming summer at the gates, have been waiting to greet Catherine and Lorraine since the afternoon.

The city lord of Freetown, who had always prided himself on being young and could serve the empire for twenty years, aged twenty years in one day, and at this moment he was like a trembling old man, still fighting his spirits, leading his officials, and honestly waiting here.

The city gate was guarded by the garrison of Freetown, which had been ordered to be closed since early in the morning, and the preparations for the pick-up had begun a few days earlier.

The Lord of Freetown, who is very interested in this and wants to leave a good impression on Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Her Royal Highness Leo. The whole city came to a voluntary cleaning, and the city lord personally waved the broom twice at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

However, he also ordered that all the houses on both sides of the street should be painted, and that the poor people's ghettos, which could not be painted, were also blocked by a wall in time.

In particular, the hotel where Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will settle down has been renovated and renovated by the city of Freetown to ensure that it is worthy of royal status.

This move was unanimously praised by the officials under the city lord, who avoided building another bank hall and praised the city lord for his wisdom.

Now it seems that the old city lord's hard work in the past few days has been in vain, and the thoughts of the city officials have also turned to picking themselves out of the Baron Peter Anker incident.

The Praetorian Guard made its way through the gates, and the carriages of Lorraine and Catherine, guarded by the knights on the left and right, passed in front of the officials waiting there, without even moving the windows.

The whole team didn't stop for a moment in front of so many officials, and they didn't look at them squarely. It was the attendants of the forbidden army who followed behind, pointing at these big officials who were stunned here and making fun of them.

The big officials of Freetown City who gathered at the gate of the city broke down in a cold sweat at that time, which means that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is extremely dissatisfied with them, and it seems that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a lot of opinions about these problems in Freetown City.

After a while, General Philip rode up to these officials, and there was no need for General Philip to be polite to the city lord in front of him, not to mention that they, the royal guards, had always looked down on these magistrates.

General Philip rode on his horse, looking at the officials with different expressions in front of him, and felt amused in his heart, some of them were panicked at the lost dog, some of them frowned, not knowing what they were thinking, and a few of them looked at their colleagues with happy smiles and gloating.

General Philip said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is getting late, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asks you to go back and rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow if there is something to do." ”

The city lord of Freetown and the officials on the left and right looked at each other, and the city lord of Freetown said dryly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for your understanding." ”

The Praetorian Guards, led by the magistrate, came to the hotel that had been arranged, and immediately protected it under the command of General Philip. Drove all those local troops back.

The attendants pushed open the door to the room, Catherine and Adele walked into the room, threw the bag in their hand, collapsed on the soft sand of the room, and sighed contentedly?

Adele kicked twice, kicked her shoes off, curled up in the sand, and said to Lorraine: "I don't want to move anymore, I always sleep on the camp bed, and I will be killed." ”

Catherine nodded, rested her feet on the pedals, yawned, and said, "Let's start dinner early, let's go to bed early, we have to stop here for two days anyway, we can have a good rest." ”

Leo pulled Lorraine and brought them to the Portocci who had been dispatched, and began to inquire about the arrest of Baron Peteranck, especially concerned about whether the baron's property had been sealed.
