Chapter 1889 Cleaning
I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing as subduing someone at the emperor's feet.
After entering the interrogation room, they began to search me. Not only did they search me, they even tried to take off my gauntlet. After I was refused, they not only did not ask why, but they directly slapped me with a warrant for not cooperating with law enforcement, conspiracy to hide a concealed weapon, and murder. Your Majesty's crime.
Then he put me directly into the interrogation room.
Kailan's situation is not much better than mine. There is a male orc who covets her beauty and wants to take advantage of her by searching her body. However, she slaps her vaginal leg and hurts the evil orc half to death. .
The accompanying orc was so angry that he slapped her in the face. In the interrogation room at that time, I was about to burst out and kill, but I happened to meet Kailan's eyes. After many hesitations, I still kept the raging anger in my heart.
Kailan's look clearly told me not to do anything here.
As for the orc shop owner who was scared to death, they let him go after asking for the transcript.
I was there when the transcript was being taken, but the interrogator never asked any questions about my identity from beginning to end. He didn't ask, and the store manager didn't dare to say anything, so he just muddle-headedly ignored my identity.
Later, Kailan and I were locked in the same solitary cell and awaited punishment.
After the surroundings were quiet, I asked Kailan why he didn't let me take action. Kailan said with a sad face, "I don't want to cause you more unnecessary trouble because of my problems."
I felt heartbroken when I heard these words, so I gently held her in my arms and comforted her a little.
After staying for a while, I asked Kailan, do you have anything like a pocket watch?
Kailan shook his head and said, "I don't have any money with me."
"Where did I give you the money?" I asked, "Why didn't you buy a pocket watch?"
Kailan's cheeks were slightly red and he refused to speak.
After I asked again and again, Kailan answered my question hesitantly.
It turned out that half of the money I gave her was used to build an equipment enhancement machine, and the other half was used to drink.
After hearing her answer, I was so angry that I almost spanked her.
After a while, I couldn't hold it any longer and said to her, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Kailan asked me.
"go for meal."
As soon as I finished speaking, I gathered my killing intent, gathered my fists, aimed at the cell door, and punched hard.
The cell door is made of three centimeters of fine steel, which is more than enough to imprison civilians. However, I am an adventurer above level 10. Without condensing the murderous intention, my physical fitness is stronger than this steel door. Moreover, I have also condensed the murderous intention. meaning.
With just one punch, the door was shattered by me, and then with a few more punches, the door made of fine steel was scrapped.
I stepped out of the confinement room first, and the orc city guards who had already sensed something was wrong rushed over with their weapons ready.
The city guard team members are generally composed of mid- to low-level adventurers. Only the city guard captain can barely reach level ten. But even if a tenth-level city guard captain comes, he may not be my opponent, let alone this ragtag group of people.
Soon, they were lying on the ground with broken arms and legs.
However, there was an orc city guard who pressed the alarm while I was causing trouble.
Not long after, more city guards rushed over, and this time there were not only city guards, but also a big shot - the vice president of the Iron Wolf Guild.
The vice-president of the Iron Wolf Guild is Fergus Illidan's childhood sweetheart. Not only that, but his sister, who is one year older than him, is also Fergus Illidan's wife.
Even though they are related to each other, he can be regarded as half a member of the royal family.
Therefore, he was trusted by Fergus Illidan.
Because of this, he also met me at a banquet.
And he admires me quite a lot, not only because I am the prime minister of Dashai City and dare to single-handedly enter the city of York and face the city lord, but also because he has heard that the high priest of the orcs has a very good relationship with me.
Hey, I forgot to mention that he is actually the little fanboy of the orc high priest.
As soon as the majestic vice president saw me, his expression immediately changed, he trotted over with a flattering smile on his face, and took the initiative to shake my hand and say hello.
After a while of passionate greetings, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what are you doing?"
When the words 'Master Prime Minister' were uttered, the whole room fell silent. The people lying on the ground were all ashen-faced. The one who wanted to take advantage of Kailan, the one who slapped Kailan, and the one who was He was so frightened that he fainted, and the other one peed all over his pants.
I snorted coldly, explained the whole story, and emphasized that everyone related to this matter must be investigated, including their family members, relatives, friends, and the people behind them. Investigate, investigate strictly, investigate thoroughly, and there must be no tolerance at all!
After that, I patted his shoulder: "I leave this matter to you. You must investigate it thoroughly as soon as possible."
The vice president looked serious, saluted me solemnly, and said, "Yes! Prime Minister!"
The Iron Wolf Guild is indeed the strongest indigenous guild in Dashai City. In less than a day, all the members of the city protection brigade on duty that day, along with their family members, relatives, friends, and the people who were looking after them, were all arrested and detained.
This incident alarmed some of the nobles, and they came to me to plead for mercy, hoping that I could release the innocent nobles.
I was completely unmoved by their pleas.
In the afternoon of the same day, the old Duke visited the detention site in person. After asking about the situation, he stated his position on the spot. He would also help investigate the matter and personally seek an explanation from all the families who sheltered the criminals.
The old Duke's intervention meant that the incident escalated further.
Another day later, at least one-twentieth of the noble families in the entire Dasay City were ruthlessly arrested.
Among them, there are more than 40 famous nobles, accounting for more than one-third of the total number of nobles in Dashai City.
Moreover, on the third day after the arrest, the Orc King issued a decree. A considerable number of these arrested nobles secretly hid troops and forged weapons with the intention of subverting the state power.
The families of these people should be severely punished.
The rest who committed the crime of offending the prime minister were sent to the mines to perform hard labor.
What is the so-called severe punishment?
Although I didn't get a clear answer, I could figure it out, and it was nothing more than obliteration.
As for whether they really have the intention to subvert the country, who cares?
All I know is that nearly half of the members of the city protection team were replaced. Those who previously wanted to take advantage of Kailan, and those who had harmed Kailan. These two people, as well as their family members, relatives, friends and other related people, half were kidnapped. One was sent to Fort Vicky and was used as a test subject for new weapons. The other half was sent to Moonlight City and made great contributions to medical research.
The shop owner who had a dispute with Kailan still opened the shop cautiously, but his temper was no longer so violent.
This incident of insulting the prime minister that shocked Zefeng Continent ended with many noble families being wiped out and deprived of their power.
In order to appease me, the orc king held a family banquet and invited me and all my fiancées who lived in Dashai City.
During the dinner, the old Duke winked at me mysteriously: "Have you relieved yourself this time?"
I responded with a meaningful smile: "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who feels relieved."
After saying that, we both looked at each other and smiled.
