，

The state began with the Governor's Office of Nai An Province to "crack down on the illegal slave trade" Bebeji, like a plough and sweep the holes, thunder and lightning. Unusually crisp.

The Governor of Lorraine, after receiving accurate information, immediately sent the Praetorian Guard with his orders.

While they took Leo and Vera to raid their homes in Lorraine, they only spent a day or two setting off a storm in half of Naian Province.

For a time, the world was in turmoil.

What's more, these scumbags now have the white face of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the teacher of Grandpa Leo. A handwritten order from Lorraine, the governor of Nyan.

The guys were all shaking. In front of the local officials was the Chincha, and Lorraine gave them the right to act on cameras, first and then play.

Lorraine's signed warrant made it clear that the magistrates must cooperate fully, and those who did not obey the orders of the Praetorian Guards were to be dealt with in accordance with the orders of the Governor.

The Praetorian Guards themselves are arrogant, they are used to seeing those big people in Ruman City, and they are used to being a fake tiger in the status of royal guards.

Don't look at the officials walking all over the ground in Guman City. The stalls may all have a knighthood, and no one dares to mess with the Praetorian Guards.

When they arrived in Nai An Province, the Praetorian Guards realized that they represented the eldest princess and the future emperor. looks down on Nai'an, a group of local veterans who have never seen the market, even more. When he speaks, he looks at people with two black holes, and he almost learns to walk sideways like a crab.

The Janissaries who got the right to cut first and then play are just like the Jinyi guards of Dongchang, and when they go down to arrest people, they don't pay attention to the faces of local officials at all. Break straight into the city lord's conference room. In front of a room full of local officials. Slapped Lorraine's order in front of the city lord, and then stretched out his hand, "Because of the slave trade, it is against the laws of the Empire, please come with us." Go to the specified place and explain your problem within the specified time.

Then in his loud announcement, the younger brothers behind him had already rushed over like wolves, and a certain high-ranking official here wiped his shoulders and put his back together, like a fat pig, and tied it firmly with the most classic way of four hooves upside down, and then kept it, said hello, turned his head and left, leaving only a room of stupid magistrates.

Others made meritorious achievements in order to complete the task first, and even went straight to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the night. The cover festival is uploaded by the four-eyed twist book friends of the full book bar

These bastards took advantage of the fact that the lord of the city was carrying out a very strict exchange of ideas with the female secretary in bed, and before they slept, they rushed straight to the bed with a big grin, and in the midst of the female secretary's screams, they took Lorraine's order and shook it, which was regarded as a greeting, and then led people to start martial law in the whole city. Detective bait. ，

Of course, although the Praetorian Guards are also strong, those slave traders have been in business for a long time, even a hundred years old. The gold-lettered signboard, coupled with the intertwining of local interests, and the intertwined relationship, their power is not weak. The guy in his hand is not a vegetarian either.

And this kind of business that has no asshole and cuts off children and grandchildren has been done for a long time, and it has long been impossible to take things like Wang Fa in his eyes.

Hence it. Lorraine's action was not all smooth sailing, even a place not more than a hundred miles away from Nedel City could produce a mutiny of local garrisons, and those hundreds of miles away from Nedel would only be more severe.

In particular, the low-level officials who were about to be arrested and the local people who were in collusion with the slave traders, they were all aware of their headless business, and they were usually very vigilant.

Fortunately, the Praetorian Guard made a surprise attack. Lorraine planned the whole operation very tightly, and the news of the slave traders' arrest had not yet spread. These people have not received the news yet, and they all stay at home honestly, but resisting arrest is indispensable, and some can even incite local people to attack the Praetorian Guards who are going to capture them.

When it comes to fighting, the Praetorian Guards are not afraid of anyone, not to mention the magistrates who are more nervous than the Praetorian Guards. Before the Janissaries could make any move, the magistrates rushed to suppress the troublemakers. For fear that Lord Lorraine would be angry, he would give himself the crime of "unsafe public order." Then cut off the head and raid the house.

Everyone knows what this lord did in Almohd in Abdewad. Not to mention the rogue's other skills, just this ability to steal the house and cut off the head is ahead of the international level.

And many magistrates, until the Praetorian Guards left with people, did not understand the reason, can only be understood that the governor is unpredictable, and he is studying the author of "Mein Kampf", the great imperial Yuan Hitler's classmates, playing the night of the long knife, and carrying out the Great Purge. A bloody clean-up of Naian's disobedient officials.

For a time, everyone was in danger and frightened. In the middle of the night, when they were running outside, those people had to get up to see if someone had come to catch them.

Some people even complained: If you want not to be cleaned by Lord Lorraine, the best way is to take the weapon first and be locked up in prison.

And what everyone feared the most was that one night, the royal guards dressed in gold and black would rudely knock on their door, and then the tall Praetorian Guard officer would announce with a blank face:

And the happiest thing is to calmly tell the Praetorian Guard officer: "I'm sorry, you are wrong." , live next door

Catherine and Adele temporarily took Lorraine's place in the governor's palace, ignoring the panic of those below, and did not come forward to explain.

Kill a few chickens to show these monkeys in Neyan, and let these guys not do their jobs honestly in the future. That's what Lorraine and Catherine see in Shea.

The regular government meeting in the Governor's Mansion was still held as if it were Zhuo, and the people below looked at the two proprietresses who looked like usual, but they were more and more afraid in their hearts.

After General Larry was recruited by Catherine into the Governor's Palace, he looked at the list of arrests, and looked at the names and official positions on it, especially the officers of the garrison at the checkpoints and rivers, as well as the officers of the local fleet in Naian, the old general's head was so bruised that he almost fainted.

General Larry said in his heart: It's over, it's over. These people are his nominal subordinates anyway.

Come to think of it. He felt that the text in his hand weighed more than a thousand pounds. It's almost unstable and will fall down. But in the end, he still slowly put the text back.

General Larry let out a long sigh in his heart. Although he has been fighting for half his life, it seems that his military career is coming to an end here.

He took a step back, then picked up his long sword in both hands, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, the subordinate officials have no way to discipline him, and he knows that he has a responsibility, so he hereby asks His Highness for his resignation." I hope that His Royal Highness will grant permission"!

Catherine smiled indifferently, then hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "General Larry, you misunderstood. I give you this list only because you are a military commander, and this matter must be sued to you. You've been fighting for years. Toiled.

This is something that the Empire has always remembered.

As she spoke, she pressed General Larry's sword-holding hands, and then continued, "And with your character, I also believe that you will not be involved in this dirty trade."

General Larry peeked at Catherine's face, and when he saw her calmness, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relieved himself: it seems that he really does not hold himself accountable.

But according to the rules. He feigned modesty two more times.

Catherine has always been kind words of comfort, but General Larry has been reluctant to take it back until she gets angry and never takes it back. I'm really going to take it back

General Larry bowed again. Then he put the sword back on his waist.

Catherine handed over the list again and said, "General Larry, please keep this list." When we arrest someone, we ask you to help General Larry look at the long list. I couldn't help but hesitate.

Catherine saw through the thoughts in his heart at a glance and said, "Don't worry, General. I know that many of these people have been coerced, and their sin is not great. When you get back, just talk to them. Let them hand over the dirty money, at most, to leave a bad record. ”

General Larry's expression was relieved again. If that were the case, then things would be much easier.

At this time, I heard Catherine's voice change and said coldly: "But the traffickers are slaves." Cold-blooded and cruel, the evil in it must not be let go. Got it?"

General Larry listened to the harshness in her words. At the moment, I knew that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was extremely disgusted with those slave traders, and if this matter was not done well and provoked Long Yan to be angry, he would really have to go home and eat potatoes.

He hurriedly patted his chest and said loudly: "Your Highness, don't worry." Although his subordinates are not talented, if they can't even handle this matter, they can only resign and apologize. ”

Catherine didn't talk much nonsense, and immediately praised: "Good." Then I'll wait here for your good news, General. "The cover festival is uploaded by the four eyes of the full book bar, according to the Yu coffee book friends

General Larry gave a heavy salute at the moment, then turned and walked out.

When he came outside, looking at the bright sunshine, he touched Wen Jiàn in his arms, but he couldn't help but smile. In the past, with the Marquis of Marleton, the work could not be carried out. I was burned out by those people. A big part of the reason for this is that the slave traders are doing things for their own selfish gain.

Now with the Shang Fang sword given by Catherine, and the assistance of the Praetorian Guards, he can let it go, and the cancer in the general can be cleared out at once

Thinking of this, he flicked his cloak and strode out the door. Behind him, a group of tall royal guards followed closely with expressionless faces"

Lorraine: Their transport ship went down the river. Smooth sailing, more than 100 miles of travel will not take long. In the afternoon, Lorraine and the others approached the pier.

The Praetorian Guards escorted the family of Baron Lasmore, the mastermind of the slave trade, and the officers at the checkpoint in the city of Tysir, to the manor, because the stakes were so important, that Lorraine did not dare to put them in prison. In case someone kills someone, he will be busy in vain.

Lorraine also got into the carriage and followed them. Personally press the formation.

Leo and Vera, on the other hand, were sitting in a carriage and were discussing the matter of increasing investment in the Flying Eagle Company.

Although these two people usually don't even know how many times to wait for one plus one, as long as it is about money, they have never made a mistake.

Lorraine was amazed to see that they were skillfully using the complex formulas of accounting, carefully calculating the market value of their own companies, stroke by stroke."

When the carriage galloped into the manor. Lorraine didn't have the tax collectors like Graytan.

Leo was just looking at the Praetorian Guard soldiers carrying the boxes behind him, and kept shouting: Snacks

It is loaded with Leo's harvest this time, from the long row of Praetorian Guard soldiers, and the soldiers gritting their teeth and struggling, I know that this time the harvest is rich, otherwise Leo would not have talked to Vera about increasing capital, last time Vera threw out 1.5 million.

The second time he shouted loudly, Hide this thing for me, go back and tell me not to leak my mouth, if my sister knows, our year-end bonus will be all in vain. ”

At this time, Leo suddenly felt his ears tighten, and a delicate voice came from behind him, which made Leo instantly fall into an ice cellar, and his face, which was still excited just now, turned completely white.

"Oh, can't I know something

Catherine grabbed Leo's ears and twisted Leo's head around for half a circle, facing herself, Leo immediately sneered: "Sister, why are you here, you heard it wrong." I just said let them know in a moment. Don't believe me, ask the boss. ”

Catherine knocked Leo on the head and said, "I'm not coming, won't I let you evade taxes?" Send the things back to the city

Leo let out a dejected "oh" and waved weakly at the Praetorian Guard soldiers carrying the boxes, and then glanced at the boxes reluctantly. sighed. muttered in a low voice: "Personal income tax, progressive tax rate." Catherine rubbed Leo's head and smiled: "Good job, all these year-end bonuses are all there." ”

Lorraine smiled, ignoring the resentful Leo. "Nicole, why are you here?"

Catherine said, "The people who have been caught are locked up here, and I have to see if anything new has been tried." And you've been out for two days, so I think it's time to come back. Heard about the mutiny of the local garrison. What the hell is going on? Are the magistrates stupid? I can't see that there is a tendency for instability among my subordinates

"The garrison at the checkpoint was bought, that's it. Those officers were full of gangsterism, and they wanted to snatch the chief out of the righteous spirit, and these local garrisons were peaceful for a long time. I think it's all rotten, and I've got to find a way to clean it up. ”

Catherine frowned and sighed. "It's easy to straighten out, but we don't have the manpower available. If you can't control the quietness of the place, they will soon sprout up again. ”

Lorraine smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already figured out a way." Now let's settle the matter in front of us

The biggest problem of an airborne governor like Lorraine is that he has no foundation and lacks his own people in his hands.

Lorraine and Catherine walked into the house, and Gretan and the other tax collectors stayed in the house, and when they saluted Lorraine, Catherine waved her hand and said, "Go out, all of you."

When Gretan and the others walked out of the house, Catherine said to Lorraine, "Let you see someone, the person we sent to spy on the two officials has news." ”

Soon, a man in a full black eagle security uniform. He walked in through the door, and after saluting Lorraine, he stood in the middle of the room.

This is a veteran in his forties. His face was dark and rough, and there was a two-inch-long scar on his cheek, and one leg was obviously injured.

Catherine said to Lorraine, "This is my father's own soldier, and he has just retired this year, so I have brought him in to help me."

Lorraine nodded politely to him.

Catherine nodded at him and said, "All right, Belen. You can tell. ”

"Yes, Sister Belen said: "The two targets have been contacted three times in the past two days. We have no way of knowing what they were talking about.

During these two days, the Deputy Public Worksman, Clego, visited the Clerk and the Counsellor, presumably to inquire about the interrogation of the slave traders.

In addition, he also slipped out of his house alone in the second half of the night yesterday and went to a family in the city called "Red Horse." At the inn, I had a secret conversation with a man, and our people followed him to the hotel, but we couldn't tell what they said.

Afterwards our men followed the man, and now he went directly to Baron Seigor's house. We compared it with the people of Baron Seigor's family. The identity of the person could not be determined

Sheigor?" Lorraine frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "What does it have to do with that Laurien, Sheigor, that is, the one who was beaten into a pig's head by Leo."

Baron Cheigor was his uncle, and Lord Belen said: "In addition, the person who followed the deputy treasurer reported that he had not seen anyone in the past two days, and he returned to the mansion after work without going out, and we guess he probably wanted to."

Lorraine smiled and said, "Escape."

"Yes, my lord," said Belen, "our servant has been withdrawing gold coins from the bank and delivering them directly to a warehouse on the docks. So far, there are about 40,000 gold coins in total. ”

Lorraine smiled at Catherine and said, "Don't you bet that I caught Baron Lasmore today, and this guy is going to run away." ”

Catherine paused for a moment and said, "No, I've never heard of any officials."

Lorraine squeezed her eyes at Catherine and said with a smile: "I also said that I have rich experience in governance, and I haven't even seen my subordinate officials escape, cut."

Catherine's face darkened, and she frowned and said, "Then why don't you catch him quickly?"

Belen said: "Sister, please rest assured, we have notified the Praetorian Guard. He can't run. The cover festival was uploaded by Zhao Si Hao book friends

Lorraine held his chin, looked at Belen with interest, and asked, "May I ask, what did Captain Belen do when he was under the command of the Grand Duke?"

Of course, when I was under His Highness, I was in charge of infiltration and intelligence gathering in Parthia. Belen said as soon as he bent down.

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in her heart: Talent.
