It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Zhendabova looked around the room and saw that apart from the maids, only Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer were standing on guard.

In addition, she sensed the presence of a powerful person, and the reason she couldn't see him was that he must have used the invisibility skill.

She sat up and found that her wrists and ankles were bound by spiritual chains.

Spiritual shackles have the effect of restricting spells without affecting normal actions. They are generally used to imprison criminals with powerful spells.

Looking at Lu Yuan again, the Saint asked sarcastically: "I heard that Oriental people are always hospitable. So this is the case."

Lu Yuan laughed: "It's just a necessary measure until your question is clarified."

Zhendabova asked curiously, "My question?"

"Yes! Although the Angara War is over, as far as we know, it was you who instigated Unov to launch the attack, right?"

Zhendabova narrowed her eyes and locked onto Lu Yuan like a snake or scorpion, as if choosing where to bite.

"I asked him to carry out a harassment mission and delay you for a day or two... So, he was defeated?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes. The battle was fierce. More than a thousand people were killed on both sides, and the wounded totaled more than two thousand. Unov died in the battle, and Angara was peacefully handed over to us. During your coma, we decided to temporarily place you here to recuperate... This is the original city lord's mansion."

"Why don't you kill me?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Murder requires evidence. According to your confession, I feel that you are just an accomplice and should not be sentenced to death."

Zhendabova didn't quite understand. Wasn't it reasonable to execute the enemy?
Could they still let me go?
"What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and said calmly: "The Angara Military Court will try the war criminals. The court will have the final say on what punishment you will receive."

The Saint was confused by Lu Yuan's new term: "Military court? Who is the judge?"

"There are seven judges in total, consisting of representatives from the military, the Governor's Office, the Church, and civilians..."

Zhendabova frowned. "Common people? They can't even read. How can they understand the law?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's good that they don't understand. People who understand the law may not be good judges."

"Why?!"

"If you don't understand the law, you can only rely on your life experience and simple humanity to judge and protect the rights of criminal suspects to the greatest extent possible."

what?
"Protecting criminal suspects? What kind of court is this? This is outrageous!!"

Seeing the saint girl's anger, Lu Yuan asked with a smile: "Don't you like being protected?"

"cut!"

Zhendabova replied proudly: "What a joke! I am a saint of angels and a saint appointed by the Kiev Cathedral. Who needs your protection?"

"Yes! That makes sense! You are extraordinary, I believe what you said is true."

Lu Yuan changed the subject and said, "But, you can't represent other officers and soldiers. I believe that a regular court should be fair and just, not letting a criminal go, and not wrongly accusing a good person."

"Haha! How funny! Just you? You think you can be fair and just?"

Lu Yuan said in a sonorous voice: "To be honest, I don't know if I can do it, but someone has to do it. Now, I have taken the first step. Success or failure is not important. What do you think?"

Zhendabova was speechless for a moment, and looked at Lu Yuan with a look that was both confused and alert.

[Danger level: ★★★★★]

【Favorability: ★☆】

Lu Yuan found it funny.

This girl likes being criticized so much, could she be a masochist?
The harder you attack her, the higher her favorability risk will be?

"How about this, you take a rest first, and if you need anything, tell the maid. As long as it's not excessive, I can satisfy you."

When he turned around, the saint suddenly asked, "Can I go to church?"

Lu Yuan turned his head, glanced at Zhendabova, and said, "I see. I'll make the arrangements. However, you are a criminal suspect in the military court, and you will be accompanied by an escort before the trial. Also, there is a time limit for going out, and violating the restrictions will be severely punished."

After saying that, he took Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer away.

After the Yanxiang Society took over the city of Angara, order was restored.

Soon, the residents discovered that these "Eastern pagans" were very friendly, and merchants and vendors boldly opened for business. The market gradually stabilized and life returned to normal.

According to the original promise, the Xuanwu Group obtained Unov's treasury. After counting, they found 1000 taels of gold and 15000 taels of silver.

Kilton could get 300 taels of gold and 4500 silver kopecks, and the rest would be divided equally among more than 300 Cossack soldiers.

Now, everyone in the Xuanwu Group, from top to bottom, has become a wealthy boss.

After calculation, after deducting the pensions for the killed and disabled soldiers, each soldier could get roughly 1 tael of gold and 20 silver kopecks.

This is a huge sum of money in Angara City!
When Lu Yuan brought the money box to the Xuanwu Regiment camp and distributed the rewards in full in front of the soldiers, the camp was in an uproar.

"Long live General Lu Yuan!"

"Swear allegiance to General Lu Yuan until death!"

"The Xuanwu Group will conquer every attack and win every battle!"

After receiving the money, most soldiers were thinking about how to spend it, so they asked for leave.

Kilton didn't dare to make a decision on his own and asked Lu Yuan for instructions.

"Three shifts, one to stay on duty, one to patrol and guard, and one to take a day off."

Such a reasonable arrangement made everyone happy.

The news that the Xuanwu Group had "made a fortune" spread quickly, attracting many people who were envious and came to Kilton to join the army and get paid.

Originally, the road show gave the Xuanwu Regiment a target of 1000 people, and Kilton was naturally happy to open up and accept new recruits.

The veterans were also very happy. After the battle, only a hundred or so people were left. When the army was expanded, all the survivors were promoted.

Merchants and hawkers are even happier. The officers and soldiers of the Xuanwu Regiment have bulging pockets and are generous in spending. They must make a lot of money.

However, at this time, the atmosphere of the Suzaku Group, which was mainly composed of Bu people, was a bit subtle.

Because, after entering the city, Zoya rescued the high priest Holu and Yalib's eldest brother Kulun.

This naturally led to internal strife among the Buryat people.

The high priest advocated that the Bu people should be led by Kulun based on the principles of "son replacing father" and "primogeniture".

Because of the authority of the high priest, the vast majority of the Bu people had no objection.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Suzaku Regiment thought it was unfair.

It was Yalib who fought desperately to save the Bu tribe and created a new people.

Therefore, the chieftain must be Yalib, and only Yalib is qualified to be the chieftain!
The two sides were at loggerheads, and even cracks gradually appeared. If things continued to develop, they would most likely end in war.

Yalibu had not expected that after defeating the Russians and saving his people, such a terrible situation would occur. He was at a loss for a moment.

The regiment commander was soft-hearted, but the Bu tribe officers and soldiers were not afraid. They went fully armed to force Kulun to abdicate.

The older you get, the wiser you become. When Huolu saw that something was not right, he hurriedly took Kulun and fled to the Governor's Mansion (the original City Lord's Mansion).

"Governor, someone from the Suzaku Group wants to murder our clan leader. Please seek justice!"

However, Talulu did not approve of his master's intervention.

The reason is that no matter who he favors, it will arouse opposition and resentment from the other party, which is not conducive to Lu Yuan's authority.

However, Lu Yuan still accepted the request of Huolu and Kulun.

"I think that if both parties meet up, we can talk about anything in person. How about that?"

Holu nodded immediately. He just wanted to make a big deal out of this, so open negotiations would be best.

"The Governor-General speaks fairly and honestly, which is a blessing for us, his subjects!"

While summoning Yalib, Li Qingluan asked curiously, "This is a troublesome matter. Have you thought about it?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Since you have come to me, it is better to face the challenge head-on rather than avoid it. Don't worry, I have a solution."

Gao Mingna smiled and said, "If you ask me, the two sides should just fight each other, and whoever wins will be the boss."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and refused with a half-smile: "Don't believe that force can decide everything!"

Recently, Gao Mingna's attitude has become much more moderate, and she seems to have forgotten the embarrassment from last time.

She instinctively asked back, "You are still a cultivator. What's wrong with being respected by your realm?" Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The Bu tribe has more than 10,000 people, and the elderly, weak, women and children account for more than half. It is the right thing to do to settle the disputes as soon as possible, concentrate on production, and live a good life. Fighting and killing will bring greater troubles. Even if it is temporarily suppressed, there will be problems in the future."

Gao Mingna disagreed and retorted: "Look at the interior of the country. The emperor holds great power, the army and the people are in harmony, and the world is at peace. How wonderful!"

"Then why do you want to rebel?"

Gao Mingna rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan: "I did it for personal reasons..."

"Why doesn't General Ling pay any attention to the emperor?"

"He is different..."

"Why did the Arabs start a war?"

"..."

Gao Mingna was upset by the question and was breathing heavily.

She glared and said, "Oh, you are so annoying! Just rebel and fight, why do you need so many excuses?"

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, no matter what your reasons are, it all comes down to one sentence."

"What?"

"The distribution of benefits is unfair. The high-ranking officials indulge themselves in extravagance, while the lower-class people who are oppressed and cannot survive are forced to rebel!"

Gao Mingna was stunned, thinking about something.

Li Qingluan smiled and said, "So, the Grand Commander has a way to distribute it fairly?"

After discussion among the four giants, the "North Sea Special Zone" was set up in the Lake Baikal area. The highest authority was the North Sea Governor's Office, and Lu Yuan proclaimed himself the first Grand Admiral.

"It's a must! I will take action, and I can defeat two enemies at once!"

"So, what's the magic cure?"

"As the saying goes, if you seek kindness, you will get kindness, so I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine."

Not long after, Yalibu and Zhang Yuting arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

In the reception room, Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna sat at the top, while the two factions of the Bu tribe sat opposite each other at the bottom.

Holu stared at Yalib and snorted heavily, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

Before Yalib came, he heard about his subordinates going to the tribe to "force the emperor to abdicate", but he did not take it seriously.

When disputes arose among nomadic tribes, bows, horses, swords and spears were used for the discussion. Moreover, his subordinates had gone there without telling him.

When he was summoned by the Governor, he felt deeply uneasy.

After much thought, he finally begged the second-in-command to come along and help speak a few good words for him.

Zhang Yuting was a thoughtful man. He and Yalib had experienced a life-and-death battle, and their friendship grew rapidly. He then agreed to meet the governor and the principal together.

Seeing that Kulun and the high priest were safe and sound, Zhang Yuting felt much more at ease and quietly poked the team leader.

Yalibu understood and quickly put his right hand on his chest to salute Huolu and his elder brother.

"High Priest Huolu, Brother Kulun, I heard that Dunhu was causing trouble in the tribe, so I tied him up and made him kneel outside the gate of the Grand Commander. You can beat him or kill him as you wish."

Holu is an old fox. He was able to survive after being imprisoned by Unov for more than half a year. It must have been because he had some skills.

He saw through Yalib's trick of shifting the issue and said, "Dunhu is your man, it is not appropriate for us to deal with him. No one would mind if he came back to the tribe to joke around. But he used your name to spread rumors and cause trouble, and the tribe leader cannot tolerate him for both public and private reasons."

After saying that, he winked at Cullen.

Kulun continued, "Yalibu, we Bu people share the same fate. Let's put it this way, for the sake of brotherhood, as long as you deal with Dunhu fairly and impartially, I can pretend that this incident never happened."

The seemingly tolerant conditions of Holu and Kulun actually contain hidden dangers.

Once Yalibu agreed, a light punishment would not only give rise to criticism of injustice, but would also cause dissatisfaction among the tribesmen.

But if the punishment is too severe, the Suzaku Group will inevitably become disunited, and it will be difficult for Yalib to rally the people's hearts. It is difficult for ordinary people to grasp the right timing.

Just as Yalibu was about to speak, Zhang Yuting spoke first, "I'm sorry! Dunhu is now an officer of the Suzaku Regiment. He left the camp without permission to cause trouble. The Military Court will punish him according to military discipline. Why don't you two listen to the military police's opinion first?"

Lu Yuan smiled. Zhang Yuting has a really smart brain!
This way, Dunhu can be dealt with reasonably and legally, and Yalib's authority and face can be preserved to the greatest extent, and no one can find fault with it.

Yalib suddenly understood and said immediately, "That's right! I am now the leader of the Suzaku Regiment and I must abide by military law."

Huolu and Kulun exchanged glances and nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yuting's approach.

The military police came in and said bluntly: "Dun Hu violated military regulations and went out of the camp to cause trouble. Fortunately, the impact was not great. According to the law, he will be punished with twenty military sticks."

Yalib asked Kulun: "Brother, how is it?"

Kulun glanced at Huolu and nodded, "Everything must be in accordance with military law. We have no objection."

Yalib then had Dunhu brought to the court and asked him in person about his opinion on the military punishment.

"An Dunhu is responsible for his own actions. I violated military regulations and am willing to accept the punishment! Come on!"

After saying that, he took off his military uniform and pants and lay on the ground.

Zhang Yuting waved his hand: "Execute immediately!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After being beaten with a military stick, Dunhu's back, buttocks and thighs were covered in blood.

However, Dun Hu gritted his teeth and said nothing. Even Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna looked at him with respect.

He is indeed a trouble-making guy, worthy of training!

Zhang Yuting stepped forward, applied medicine on the wound, then asked the military police to help him put on his clothes and sent him back to the military nursery to recuperate.

Yalib watched Dunhu leave, then turned around and asked respectfully, "Brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Cullen rolled his eyes and looked at the high priest again.

Huolu shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. The clan leader is planning to offer 10,000 fat sheep to the emperor. I hope the governor will allow it!"

Alib's face changed.

The so-called gift was nothing more than an attempt to solidify his title as the chief of the Kulun clan.

Once the order is confirmed, it will be difficult for Yalib to legitimately expand his power in the Bu tribe, and even the soldiers of the Suzaku Regiment will be constrained by Kulun.

After all, the weak points of the whole family are in the hands of others, so they have no choice but to give in.

"Brother, how come I haven't heard of such a big thing?"

Kulun glared and shouted, "I am the clan leader. The matter of tribute is decided by my word!"

Seeing that his elder brother was no longer pretending, Yalibu responded bluntly: "You call yourself the clan leader, but I'm afraid you can't convince the others, right?"

"I have the support of my entire clan, how can you say I am self-proclaimed?"

"Oh, the whole clan? Why don't the Dunhu and the others obey you?"

"Haha, I knew it was you who was behind this. You have nothing to say now, right?"

"I have a clear conscience and I definitely didn't do anything wrong..."

"Tsk! Stop pretending. Do you think you don't want to be the clan leader?!"

"Whether or not to be the clan leader is not something that can be decided by you and me. We must hold a meeting of elders and discuss it!"

Kulun suddenly smiled and said confidently: "You are right, it is the Council of Elders that decided that I should be the clan leader."

"Impossible! When was the elders' meeting held?"

Huolu came forward to explain: "When the old chief was in office, there were 13 elders in total. After the Maozi came, they not only killed the old chief, but also killed 12 elders, leaving only me. It was my decision for Kulun to take over as the chief. It is the most fair and just!"

Yalib was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted, "Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! What kind of elder council is one elder?! I don't accept it!"

Just like that, the three Bu tribe nobles quarreled fiercely for the position of clan leader, and none of them gave in.

Just as they were rolling up their sleeves and preparing for a fight, Lu Yuan spoke.

"Let's talk it over nicely! Harmony brings wealth, and virtue wins people over. In order to promote the unity of the Bu people, I would like to make a suggestion. How about it?"

what!
All three of them focused their attention on the Governor.

Yalib showed a look of joy, while Holu and Kulun's expressions changed and became solemn.

Huolu asked cautiously, "What is the Governor's suggestion?" (End of this chapter)
