Give Me the Name of God

There are a total of three ruling swords in Romulus. One is in the hands of the general Rongerson, one is in the hands of the magistrate (equivalent to the justice), and the other is in the hands of the king. This power is rewarded to other officials.

Those who possess the Sword of Judgment can execute criminals on the basis of their charges, without additional approval from higher-level officials and the king.

The targets of execution were limited to civilians and slaves. Nobles were not among the nobles, but this was also a very powerful power. In order to obtain the sword of judgment, the punisher had negotiated countless times with the king. No one thought that the king would judge it. The sword was presented to a little sheriff.

In the royal capital, officials are divided into three levels. The first level is the minister of state affairs and the generals. They represent the peak of power outside the king.

The second level is officials in charge of different positions, such as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Supervision, the Magistrate, and the Commercial Officer, etc.

The third category is officials dealing with specific matters, including Sishi, Siyan, Sishui, ordinary magistrates, commercial officers, and sheriffs held by Manda.

It is incredible that a low-level official can get the sword of ruling. The Minister of State is very surprised. He wanted to persuade the king to be more cautious, but he saw Longgersen’s sharp eyes, and he closed his mouth wisely. Anyway, the sword of ruling is not involved. For the interests of the nobles, he didn't need to argue with the general over this kind of thing.

Taking the sword of judgment, Manda swore allegiance to the king. Regardless of the rumors, his impression of the king is very good. There is still hope for Roma, at least the king is still bloody.

Next comes the key issue, how to deal with the assassin Alisan.

According to the opinion of the Minister of State, he should be executed under the harshest criminal law. The first thing he thought of was the punishment of dropping lead.

The so-called punishment of dripping lead is to tear apart the flesh of a mortal with tongs, and then drip the lead onto the wound, torturing the prisoner to death.

It sounds very cruel, but this is not what Manda wants. If you simply want to kill Alisan, Manda can think of a hundred ways. The reason why he has been kept for now is that he is an important witness to testify against the divine punishment. .

God punishes the bishop Bakken of the church and instructs the murderer to kill the newly appointed sheriff. What a terrible crime! This can not only damage the arrogance of the divine punishment, but also change the attitude of the common people towards the divine punishment.

The idea is good, but as soon as Rongerson said it, he was strongly opposed by the Minister of State.

"We can't do this. This will drive the punishment of the gods to a dead end, and this will force the punishment of the gods to wage war."

Looking at the Minister of State with burns on his face, Manda really didn't know what to say.

Long Gesen sneered: "You almost died in the hands of the God Punisher, don't you even have the courage to take revenge?"

The Minister of State Affairs said: "Don't say it's a little too close, even if I really die in the hands of the God Punisher? What is my life compared to the safety of the kingdom?

There are tens of thousands of god-punishers in the king. If they riot, how long can we resist? Do you think that you can bring down the punisher with just one crime? If it is so easy, what is our struggle for hundreds of years? "

The Minister of State's remarks left the king and Rungeson speechless, and finally they decided to temporarily imprison Alisan in death row.

Leaving the palace, Rungeson said to Manda: "I have to say that the Minister of State is right. The struggle for hundreds of years will not end overnight, but this matter has wronged you."

Long Geshen was worried. Whether Alisan was dead or alive did not have a big impact on Manda. The immediate priority was to survive in the royal capital and survive decently.

Returning to the carriage, Manda immediately returned to his real body. It was his clone who met the king. For him, the entire king capital was in danger everywhere. If you didn't pay attention, the scene of his throat cut could happen at any time. It may repeat itself.

Holding the paperwork and seal, Manda came to the sheriff's residence. This mansion is not too big. A two-story building is located in the middle, surrounded by three rows of bungalows on three sides, thus forming a courtyard.

Before entering the mansion, Dunnison reminded Manda that the sheriff's subordinates might not get along well.

Although they are low-level officials, the sheriff still has many subordinates, who are called law enforcement officers. Marshals are not real officials. They are similar to the yamen in the East. They belong to the category of bureaucrats. Manda has seventeen marshals, and their attitude towards Manda is not very good, because they prefer the original magistrates.

The former sheriff was waiting for Manda at the door, and when he saw Manda walking into the mansion, he stepped forward and said hello: "You are Viscount Monchik, it's a great pleasure to meet him."

Manda was taken aback, showing a slight smile and said, "Your Excellency?"

"I used to be the master of this place. Like you, I am also a Viscount, Viscount Rungesen."

His surname is Rungeson, and you don't need to guess that he is Hram, the nephew of General Rungeson.

Seeing Manda's expression a little strange, Hram smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for trouble. I lost my money bag, and I asked the sheriff to help."

It turned out to be a report. Manda politely invited Hram into the mansion and asked the marshal to pour a glass of wine for Rungesen.

The marshal was very honest and only poured a glass of wine for Hram, which proved that he didn't take Manda in his eyes at all.

Manda didn't seem to mind, and after a few polite words, he asked, "What are the characteristics of your wallet?"

"It's easy to identify. It's a silk purse with gold thread tattooed with the family emblem of the Rongerson family."

In the royal capital, silk purses are still common, but the family emblem of the Rongesen family is a bit special.

It was a fire-breathing dragon, the pattern was very complicated, and it was extremely difficult to imitate.

Manda then asked, "How much money is in your wallet?"

Hram said, "Probably dozens of gold coins, I don't remember."

It's not that he doesn't remember, it's because he didn't lose his money bag at all. His purpose of coming here is to embarrass Manda.

Although he knew that the other party was looking for the fault, Manda did not show the slightest irritation: "Please go back and wait a while, and I will be able to find it for you soon."

"How long will it be soon?" Hram was very dissatisfied with Manda's answer~www.readwn.com~ If I had encountered this kind of thing before, I would be able to get my purse back in three days. "

"How can I say that," Manda smiled, "just find a moneybag, it doesn't take three days."

Hram was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared: "My lord sheriff, how long do you think you can find the purse? Is two days enough?"

"Let you wait two days and count me as negligence. Please come to me at noon tomorrow and get your money bag back."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Hram turned and left, Manda faced the law enforcement officers: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and find the money bag!"

The leader of the lawman, Baolier (equivalent to a head-catcher) said with disdain: "My lord, the king is so big, where can we find it?"

"I don't care where you go. If you can't find it before noon tomorrow, one person will get fifty whips."

Baolier sneered and left with the law enforcement officers. Chuyt came to Manda and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have seen the family emblem of the Longosun family. One day is enough to imitate a purse, but I don’t know how much money should be put in it."

"Don't bother, just find a broken money bag and put two copper coins in it."

Chuyt didn't understand what Manda meant, and listened to Manda again: "Who is the thief in the south of the city?"

"What is a thief?"

Chuyt looked blank, and Dunnison replied: "It's Hamis. The thieves in the south listen to him."

There are gangs in any line. Dunison has been the leader of his life for half his life, and he naturally understands what Manda means.

Manda nodded and said, "Call Hamis, and I will invite him to lunch tomorrow."
