Godsend Field

Chapter 479 Sweet Dates
Lei Jiansheng disappeared into Duke Meister's mansion in a flash, leaving only Duke Meister sighing.

"Brother Meister, what is the origin of President Gary? Not only you, but also the Marquis of Dolan!" Tianci asked strangely.

"Godsend, you haven't been here all these years, so there are some things you don't know very well!" Duke Meister sat down weakly. "Although the Galley Chamber of Commerce is little-known now, his background is very thick!"

"A strong background?" Tianci smiled and didn't care. "Your majesty is your minister in the empire. What background makes you, the finance minister, so afraid?"

"Let me tell you straight, this Gary's brother-in-law is Sephiroth! Their Gary family was originally a small nobleman. I don't know why Sephiroth fell in love with them. They got married five years ago. And this Gary It is the young patriarch of their family. He stayed in the fief and went to the capital to establish some chamber of commerce and join our business alliance. People like him who don't know anything can't survive, but everyone sees For the sake of Sephiroth's face, I have established some business contacts with him, and to put it bluntly, I will give him purple gold coins for free!"

"Humph, hum! Who am I? You and Saphiroth are both ministers, and your title is higher than his. What are you afraid of?"

Max waved his hand, "It's not the same! I am the Minister of Finance, and my title comes from my father and the previous king. And Sephiroth is the Minister of State Affairs and the Minister of the First Assistant, and he has been highly valued by His Majesty over the years. He is no longer the same!"

"It doesn't matter! Even if Senior Lei punishes Gary, I don't think Sephiroth will have anything to say, after all, he insulted Qin'er and me first!" Tianci didn't care.

"Godsend, why haven't you understood yet!" Duke Meister sighed helplessly, "Don't you know who Sephiroth is? You met this man in the Northwest Province back then! How much did he plunder at that time?" You should be very clear, do you think Gary is really as simple as opening a chamber of commerce? This is just a cover, the real purpose is to collect tribute! Anyone who asks him for business will have a lot of tribute, and these tributes It was done through the Galley Chamber of Commerce. Before you gave His Majesty the purple gold coins, the empire’s finances were often stretched to make up for it. I have said something, how could Sephiroth be willing to be reprimanded by His Majesty to stand up and speak for me?"

Tianci's face gradually sank, and Sephiroth knew that most of the taxes in Salt Lake City went into his pocket at that time, and the people were miserable. The first thing he did after he took over the Northwest was The tax reduction thus won the respect of the people.However, since he came back from Northwest and took up an official position in the Finance Department, he feels that he has restrained a lot, and he has no longer searched for money like Northwest.Unexpectedly, the old disease has relapsed now. . . "Don't Nero know?"

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs every day, how can he manage so much? Besides, Saphiroth is indeed talented and can help His Majesty deal with affairs smoothly every time. In addition, he is very good at pleasing Your Majesty, so he is deeply loved by His Majesty. Although I and him They are both ministers, but they are far apart in terms of status! It feels like the second old Duke Kate!"

"Grandpa? Although Grandpa has a lot of power for a while, he manages the family members extremely strictly. He will never be as greedy as he is!"

"The old Duke Kate is the cleanest official I have ever seen. Although he has a high position and power, he always puts the empire first. My father and I respect the old Duke very much. During the 60 years when the Ministry of Government Affairs was controlled by the old Duke, although the officials could not Everyone is innocent, but after all, I don’t dare to be blatant, it’s not like now..."

"He won't use his status as chief assistant and the power in his hand to..."

Duke Meister nodded helplessly, "Although there is nothing wrong now, sooner or later this trend will prevail. In less than 50 years, the official system of the empire will definitely be corrupted, and the national power will be emptied by these moths. The former king and the old duke joined forces I am afraid that the official atmosphere that has been purged in the past 60 years will disappear..."

"Since this is the case, you should tell Nero!" Tianci was angry in his heart. "If you don't go, then I will tell His Majesty personally and ask him to strictly control Sephiroth!"

"Godsend, even if His Majesty knew about it, I'm afraid he wouldn't deal with Sephiroth! Now His Majesty only has one thing in mind, that is to unify the continent, and Sephiroth is His Majesty's most capable assistant, and God has given you the current situation. ...so I advise you not to talk about it, it will be in vain if you talk about it!"

Tianci's heart was heavy and depressed, and she turned around and pulled Qin'er and Li'er out of Duke Meister's mansion.

On the second day morning, after the ministers had finished discussing the important affairs of the empire.

"Anything else to start?" Nero asked.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, I have one more matter. There was a blatant murder in the capital yesterday. I hope His Majesty can order a clear investigation!" Saphiroth came out to report.

"Do you want me to take care of this trivial matter in the court?" Nero frowned and looked at Sephiroth, "Who was the victim?"

"It's my brother-in-law, Gary!" Sephiroth replied, "The murderer was extremely cruel. He openly broke into his brother-in-law's house in broad daylight and cut off his brother-in-law's tongue without any explanation, and injured many guards. I think it can be done in the capital A person under His Majesty's feet who is so unscrupulous and disregards the king's law must be a treacherous person, and I hope His Majesty can order to pursue this person with all his strength..."

Nero waved his hand impatiently, "You can handle this kind of thing yourself, is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Duke Meister suddenly stood up. If this pardon is issued, wouldn't it mean that Lei Jiansheng will be tracked down? "Your Majesty, I know who the murderer is!"

"This is the court, and what is being discussed is an important matter of the empire. You two imperial ministers even reported such a trivial matter!" Nero reprimanded a little angrily, "Who is the murderer?"

Duke Meister lowered his head, "It's Senior Sword Saint Lei!"

"En?" Safeiros and Nero were both slightly surprised. Lei has already reached the realm of a sword master, so how could he care about someone who has no fighting spirit?

"Tell me carefully!"

"Yesterday Lei Jiansheng and the Duke of Tianci suddenly appeared in Weichen's mansion and asked about the Galli Chamber of Commerce. I didn't know, so I answered, but... Senior Lei suddenly said that he was going to teach him. It was too late to stop it. Later, after asking the Duke of Tianci for advice, I learned that President Galli had spoken rudely to the Duke of Tianci when he was in Kiel Town in the Northeast Province a few days ago. .So Lei Jiansheng couldn't get annoyed, so he just..."

Ni Luo was suddenly furious, and slammed the table, "Is this really true?"

"My minister dare not speak nonsense!" Duke Maxtor hurriedly knelt down.

Nero gritted his teeth tightly, and the corners of his mouth were tense, "Sephiroth, is there a matter?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" Safeiros hurriedly knelt down.

"Bastard, you dare to report without knowing, and you are still above the court!" Nero roared, "I limit you to find out for me before sunset today, and once it is confirmed, immediately put your ignorant brother-in-law into prison, tomorrow Beheaded in public at noon!"

Safeiros was startled, "Your Majesty, even if my brother-in-law is at fault, but... the crime is not worthy of death! Your Majesty, please be merciful!"

"Saphiroth, if it's someone else, I think you can forgive me a little bit, but if you want to blame, blame him for provoking my brother!" Nero was furious, looking around at the officials in the hall, "I know Your family and servants relied on you as imperial officials, and most of your actions in the past were unscrupulous, but today you all remember that the Duke of Heaven is my brother, my own brother! He saved me from danger several times, This kindness is so generous. Li'er grew up with me, and Qin'er and I also have classmates. Anyone who insults my brother and two sister-in-laws is tantamount to insulting me! Saphiroth, your brother-in-law dares to insult me, you What should you say?"

The muscles on Safeiros' face twitched, "Deserve... death penalty..."

"It's good to know! Go back!" Nero flicked his long sleeves, turned around and got off the dragon chair and walked towards the side room.

The officials in the hall all sighed. His Majesty just finished beating the Duke of Tianci last month. Everyone thought that the Duke of Tianci had lost power since then, but who knew that His Majesty even killed the brother-in-law of Safeiros for the Duke of Tianci today!And although those words just now seemed to be about Gary, they sounded like they were warning him.

Hey, do you think you should find time to visit Duke Tianci these days?The officials thought silently.

In the prison of the capital of the empire in the evening.

"Madame Saphiroth, you are here!" The jailers bowed their waists.

"I want to take a look at Gary, you all stand back, no one will come near without me!" Sephiroth said, pulling the lady beside him.

"Yes!" The jailers hurried away.

Safeiros and his wife came to the cell where Gary was held. The cell was cleaned fairly clean. Gary's wound had been healed by light magic, but his tongue couldn't grow out.Seeing Saphiroth coming, he screamed and rushed forward.

Seeing her brother like this, Mrs. Safeiros couldn't help crying.

"Okay, don't cry, don't you want to say goodbye to your brother, hurry up!" Safeiros said impatiently.

The woman cried for a long time, and pulled Sephiroth's sleeve, "Can't you think of a way? Gali didn't commit any serious crimes, so why kill him!"

Safeiros glanced at Gary sullenly, "If you want to blame it, blame him for not having eyes. Who is not easy to offend, but to offend the God-sent Duke and his wife!"

"Isn't it just to say a few words, can't we just apologize, why do you want to kill!" Madam wiped her tears, "You are now the minister of state affairs of the empire, isn't it you under your majesty, don't you even have a brother-in-law?" Can't you protect them?"

"I..." Sephiroth said angrily.

"His gift from God was picked up by His Majesty's parents, not his own. Didn't His Majesty beat him a few days ago? You are a popular person in front of Your Majesty. Can't you even handle such trivial things? Aren't you very Do you want to be like Lord Kate? What a mistake Mann made in their family. It’s a thousand times worse than Gary. Isn’t it okay? Why can’t you even protect your brother-in-law! At that time, how did my father help you?"

"Enough! Don't mention that matter again!" Sephiroth's face was ashen.

"No wonder there are rumors outside...all are saying... At first, it was the Duke of Heaven who promoted you to be the Minister of Finance, and then the Duke of Heaven did not want the position of Minister of State, so it was your turn..."

"Shut up!" Sephiroth said angrily, waiting for the woman fiercely, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and after a while, he choked out a few words from his mouth, "I, Sephiroth, can get to where I am today because of My own abilities are not assigned by some duke or duke!"

After speaking, Safeiros bowed his head and rushed out of the prison.

Duke Tianci, are you really a mountain standing in front of you?
Gary was beheaded in public the next day!Even Sephiroth was reprimanded by Nero in court for lax discipline.

"Is Nero not bad?" Qin'er in Ning Yuan smiled happily.

"Well, I didn't expect that Nero would actually kill Gary!" Lier rubbed her chin and blinked her eyes, "But this will offend Sephiroth, and I don't know if it will be brought to Brother Tianci. What trouble is coming!"

"What are you afraid of, Sephiroth is just a powerful minister, and we don't enter the officialdom, why are we afraid of them!" Qin'er didn't care, and walked to Tianci, "How can you say that you and Nero are also brothers, last time we thought you were not It's reconciled, but it seems that Nero is still on your side this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry!"

The corner of Tianci's mouth was forced down, with a wry smile, "Qin'er, you see it is too simple! Nero is no longer the Nero before. Everything he does now has a purpose without any emotion. Last time he The reason why he hit me was to completely suppress my arrogance and let me know who is the king and who is the minister. But this time he killed Jiali to show me kindness."

"Oh, I see, Nero pays equal attention to kindness and prestige!" Qin'er suddenly realized.

"Hmph, it's not so much about giving equal importance to kindness and power as it is about stuffing a sweet date with a stick!" Tianci stood up and walked slowly, feeling in his heart, "Nile actually did this to me... It seems that in his In my mind, I am no longer his elder brother, but a valuable subject!"

Qin'er and Lier's hearts trembled when they heard this, "Brother Tianci, if this is the case, then we should not stay in the capital, let's... let's go back to Yier Village!"

Tianci nodded, "I don't like this place either, so I will resign from Nero tomorrow!"

The courtyard door opened and the butler came in. "Master, two ladies, Mr. Saphiroth has come and asked to see you!"

Safeiros?What is he here for?
Tianci frowned slightly, but since he is here, he must not miss him!Tianci tidied up her clothes a little and walked towards the living room together with Qin'erlier.

Standing in the living room, Safeiros hurriedly greeted the three of Tianci, and bowed deeply, "Duke Tianci, the two ladies, I am here to apologize to you! My ineffective My brother-in-law doesn't know Taishan, and offended you in Kiel Town, and now he has been punished accordingly, I hope you can forgive me!"

Tianci stretched out his hand to help Safeiros, "Get up, the matter is over, let's not mention it anymore!"

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your generosity!" Sephiroth stood up straight.

"Sephiroth, are you here to apologize to us this time?" Qin'er pouted and asked.

"Hehe, Miss Qin'er! I'm here mainly to apologize to you, and to convey His Majesty's intentions to Lord Tianci by the way. Your Majesty wants Duke Tianci to attend tomorrow's morning court!" Saphiroth said.

Tianci was slightly taken aback, "Saphiroth, I don't have an official position, and I don't have any royal orders to restore. Logically speaking, I don't need to go to court. I don't know why His Majesty asked me to go to court tomorrow morning?"

"I don't know about this either, the Duke will know when he goes tomorrow!" Saphiroth bowed again, "If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first!"

After Safeiros left, Qin'er said, "We killed Gary, leaving him no place to collect purple gold coins. I think he mainly conveyed Nero's will to you today. What he said was mainly an apology, a lie to children." !"

"Brother Tianci, you have to go to court tomorrow, and you don't know what's going on. I have a bad feeling in my heart!" Lier said nervously.

"What does he care about!" Tianci took Li'er's hand and shook, "Tomorrow I will also ask His Majesty to resign!"

On the morning of the next day.

"Your Majesty, the position of General in the Southwest Province has been vacant since General Medov generously went to righteousness, please Your Majesty to appoint a new General as soon as possible!" Akas stepped forward to report.

Nero nodded slightly, "Who do you guys think is more suitable for the post?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think General Nahal is suitable!" said an official.

"Naihal? Do you mean General Nahal in the Northwest Province?" Nero asked.

"Exactly! General Nahale is brave, good at fighting, wise and courageous, and will definitely be suitable for the position of General of the Southwest!"

Nero nodded slightly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!" General Akas saluted, "Although General Nahal is a rare general in the empire, but now that he is old, I am afraid it is not suitable. What's more, the southwestern province of today It is no longer stable, so you must be cautious about the position of General of the Southwest Province!"

"Then who do you think is suitable!"

"The minister is playing alone, but... But His Majesty's pardon is needed..." Arcas hesitated to speak.

"Say, as long as it can relieve the empire's worries, I can consider it!"

"Yes, the one I am protecting is General Planck! He has been stationed in the southeastern province for many years, and has gone through countless battles, both big and small. He is competent in both experience and ability!" Arcas reported.

General Planck!The officials above the court nodded one after another.

"Planck! I remember my grandfather once said that he is a rare general. Where is he now?"

"Your Majesty, General Planck is currently training the army in the Northwest Province!" Arcas replied.

"Well, you send someone to the Northwest Province to inform Planck as quickly as possible, and ask him to go to the Southwest Province to take up his post immediately! Also, didn't he train a legion in the Northwest Province, and he brought a coordinated garrison in the Southwest Province together? Province!"

"Yes!"

When the court meeting was almost over, Tianci was about to stand up and "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

Nero waved his hand to stop Tianci, "Duke Tianci, I happen to have something to tell you, why don't you let me talk about it first! You were assassinated in the French Empire a few years ago, and recently you were raped in the Welsh Empire." The people offended by me are the result of my lack of thoughtfulness!"

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Needless to say, I've thought about it for a long time these days. The reason why such things happen one after another is probably because you don't have a personal guard around you! According to the rules of the empire, the Duke can only have 3 personal guards. , but your status is quite special, I give you special permission to form a [-]-person guard group!"

A pro-guard group of 3 people?Tianci was taken aback for a moment!
