Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 284: Secret War in the South of the City

Without having to invite the Minister of Finance, Rungeson himself brought his nephew to the palace. He had been with the king for many years, and he knew that some things could be big or small.

One thousand and four hundred gold coins is not too much. As long as the king is given a reasonable explanation, the king will naturally not embarrass Longosun.

But if the king feels contempt and slack, it is another matter. His nephew and even Rungeson himself will be severely punished, and the king's pride will not tolerate any touch.

Hram was wounded with bandages on his arms and chest. This sincerity alone has let the king calm down. Of course, in front of the Minister of Finance, he still has to do enough.

Rungeson and his nephew apologized to the king, and the king scrutinized them, and then forgave them for their guilt. Then they were asked to retrieve the stolen taxes as soon as possible, and severely punish the bandits, and the whole thing came to an end.

After leaving the palace, Rungeson took Hram to the mansion and asked in detail what happened. According to Hram’s description, more than a dozen bandits suddenly appeared from the street, knocked down the soldiers and snatched the gold coins. box.

This description made Longgerson extremely dissatisfied: "You said it was a dozen people, did you not even see the number of each other? You said they appeared from the street, which house or shop? Or from the pedestrians. Appeared? Does the opponent have special skills? Is there any characteristic in appearance? In which direction did they escape?"

Heram couldn’t answer a word. He had been a sheriff for five years. He had only dealt with rogue and unruly businessmen. Few bandits would commit crimes in the capital, and ordinary people would not dare to pay taxes. Idea, not to mention that no one would easily trouble Hram, who was the nephew of the general.

Long Gessen glared at each other, Hram flushed, the old butler Jim quickly brought two glasses of wine, and whispered to Long Gessen: "Let the young master sit down first, he is injured."

Long Gesson sighed and did not ask any more. Heram is a believer of Titan God Atlas. Although he has only one rank, he also has the strength to severely wound him, which shows that his opponent is not a mortal. , Such people are rare in the capital, and most of them have been sent to the torture frame by those who are punished by the gods.

As long as he dispatches his subordinates, they will be able to find their tracks very quickly. Longson gave this task to the commander Georgia. He thought he would receive the news in two or three days, but five days passed, Georgia There was no gain, but another accident happened in the south of the city.

Four headless corpses appeared on the street, only a hundred steps away from Hram's mansion. This incident caused an uproar in the royal capital, and the south of the city became a taboo place. At night, no one even dared to walk alone on the street.

The king called Rungeson to the palace and said with a smile: "In the past few days, many ministers have come to the palace. I haven't seen them for several months. Guess what they are here for? Let me give you something. Hint, they all live in the south of the city."

The south of the city was the residence of the nobles, and the consequences of the incident were self-evident. Longosen didn't say much, and asked the king to give him a few more days.

This time, Rungeson dispatched five commanders, but still nothing. Five days later, an incident that angered the king happened. A fire broke out in an outer house of the Minister of State. The Minister of State was in the house at that time. Under the protection of the guards, he was lucky enough to get his life back.

The king summoned Rungeson and Hram to the palace, and saw the minister of government who was burnt to the ground. Hram wanted to defend himself with a few words, but was pressed by Rungeson and knelt on the ground. .

"Your Majesty, Hram is willing to resign from the post of sheriff, and everything that happened in the south of the city during this period will be handed over to me."

Hram looked unwilling. As the nephew of the general, he always believed that he deserved a higher status, but he did not expect to lose even such a low-level post as a sheriff. But Rungeson's palm kept pressing on his neck, making him dare not say a word.

Having fallen on the battlefield and officialdom for decades, Rungeson knew what the immediate matter meant. This was not an accidental security incident, but someone wanted to use his nephew to attack him and then threaten him himself.

Rungeson is not afraid of threats, but he can't let Hram get involved. With his nephew's pitiful wisdom, getting involved in this level of battle will probably lead to death.

The king knew what Rongerson was thinking, but he was very dissatisfied with his actions: "Your nephew resigns, who will be the sheriff in the south of the city?"

Long Gesen couldn't answer for a while. There were certainly many people who wanted to be officials, but there were almost no suitable candidates in the royal capital.

Although the sheriff was a low-level official, he could not choose from among the commoners. Most of the nobles had already taken refuge in the God Punisher, and the only ones who could maintain absolute loyalty to the king were Rungeson and the Minister of State Affairs Lasio.

Rungeson is not married and has no children. He only has this nephew. Lacio has three sons. These three sons hold other official positions, all of which are above the sheriff.

If other nobles recommend it, it would be equivalent to infiltrating the power of the God Punisher around the king. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is not much space around the king.

"Give you one month to find a suitable person to replace your nephew. Starting today, I don't want any brutality in the south of the city."

Back at the mansion, Hram couldn't help crying loudly. The upset Rongeson drove Hram out of the mansion, and instead called the commander Georgia.

"I want to recommend you to the king as sheriff. You will continue to track down the whereabouts of taxes. When you have a look, you will be ready to take office."

Georgia shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm not that lucky."

Long Gesen frowned and said: "It seems that you are used to living a peaceful life, and you can't even do such a small thing."

"My lord, I will not shirk the task you gave me. I will try my best to find the whereabouts of taxes, but I am just a civilian and I am not qualified to serve as an official."

Rungeson sighed, picked up the wine glass, and drank a sip of red wine.

"Following me for so many years, I failed to give you the identity of a nobleman~www.readwn.com~ I made you wronged."

"My lord, please don't say such things. I have never cared about it. Regarding the sheriff, I have a more suitable candidate."

Long Gesen smiled: "Tell me about it."

"Kreich Munchick."

Long Gesen was startled: "Why do you think of him?"

"Because he is an expert in dealing with bandits, he is also an ancient **** believer, and he is a friend of Stanley, or a subordinate of Elmen, he has the same position as Elmen, and he will maintain absolute loyalty to His Majesty the King. And I will never compromise with the divine punishment. I firmly believe that he is the most suitable candidate."

Long Gesen shook his head and said, "I have never seen him before."

"With your help, he can become a Viscount. Although he has not seen you, I believe he will not forget this kindness, and I firmly believe that His Majesty the King would definitely want to see this Viscount."

Craig Munchick... Rungeson was lost in thought.
