A large group of people arrived at the headquarters of the guard station in a mighty manner. At that time, the captain stationed on duty at the guard station was shocked. The captain looked at Cardinal Fordo, who was arrogant but looked embarrassed.
My brain was confused for a while.
He quickly pulled the officer who received the case aside and asked in detail what happened.
After the officer told the captain exactly what happened, the captain looked at Fordo and the people in the newspaper office with extremely resentful eyes, and thought to himself: Isn't this causing trouble for me? I haven't even had a good life for two years yet.
Oh my god.
Arriving at the headquarters of the health center, people from the newspaper office and people from Fordo started making a fuss.
Fordo seemed to have found support. He first slammed the table, jumped up and shouted: "Which of you is in charge, come and see me. I will sue these people for defamation and publicly slander a cardinal of the Vatican. And your public security."
It’s too bad. Someone actually dared to attack the Holy See’s envoy in broad daylight, but you actually let people escape. I will complain to your governor and ask Lorraine to give me an explanation.”
The people in the newspaper office didn't look down on him as a cardinal. They knew that this guy would leave after just two days, so they said without any sign of weakness: "Do you understand freedom of public opinion? You are still a high-level intellectual. Sir, we
The newspaper wants to sue this person. He and his men broke into our newspaper openly, smashed company property, and injured our newspaper staff. If you don't care, we will report it publicly and let everyone in Naian come to comment.
.”
The captain's brain started to hurt. He pressed his fingers on his forehead and thought to himself: Both of these are uncles who cannot be offended!
Needless to say, Cardinal Fordo is a real big shot. People who come down from the Holy See Headquarters, to ordinary people like them, are like coming down from the sky. However, Fordo’s identity is
Although noble, it has little influence in Naian.
But that newspaper is different. This newspaper has great influence in Nai'an, and the backstage behind it is very hard. The officers in the guard station are all locals of Nai'an, and they are very sensitive to this kind of powerful local snakes.
Fearful.
People from the newspaper office kept shouting: "You must accept this case, otherwise we will go to the governor to sue you for not doing anything and protecting the powerful."
Fordo also shouted: "You must arrest the criminal who attacked this bishop within the time limit, otherwise I will go to your governor and to the city of Rumain to complain against you. The sacred dignity of the Holy See cannot be desecrated."
The captain was surrounded by people from both sides. His face was splashed with spittle. The captain turned around and yelled at the officers behind him: "You guys, gather your people and go out to catch the thugs who attacked the bishop. Hurry up and go."
.”
The officers in the guardhouse shouted: "Yes."
Then he turned around and ran out impatiently. The matter involved two major forces. These poor soldiers who were paid by the army couldn't afford to offend them, so they thought it would be best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Soon all the officers and soldiers in the headquarters were running away. Everyone knew that in a street fight like this, if no one was caught on the spot, it would be difficult to catch anyone again if they turned around.
Fordo had regained his composure now. Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the guard station were running out to arrest people for him, he felt a little calmer. He showed off his bishop's airs and said: "You must give me an explanation for today's matter, otherwise it will be...
Your governor is here, and I won’t leave. I want to see if this is the way you treat guests in Nai’an.”
The captain pinched his forehead and rubbed it vigorously, and said to the adjutant behind him: "Don't be stunned. This matter is very important. Go and invite the Sheriff."
While feeling regretful in my heart, I remembered that when I went out today, I was too busy having sex with my new mistress and did not read the almanac.
Seeing Fordo and his subordinates, as well as the people in the newspaper office, who had filled the hall of the headquarters, cackling like dozens of crows, the captain could only wailed in his heart and said to himself:
Why am I so unlucky? If I had known I would be in such big trouble, why would I have come to work in the morning?
But fortunately, there is a big man to hold up when the sky falls. For such a difficult and troublesome matter, the captain has made up his mind to just hold these two groups down. Anyway, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the rest will be done.
Leave it to Sheriff Ignatz to deal with the headache.
Thinking of this, the captain simply decided to stay out of sight and out of mind, and told the guardsmen behind him: "Watch them, don't let them start fighting."
Then he simply turned around and walked out of the hall, came to the door and waited to greet Sheriff Ignatz.
The captain's adjutant rode on a fast horse and rushed through the streets of Nedel City, heading straight to the office of Sheriff Ignatz.
Ignatz has been in a good mood recently. As a peace officer, Ignatz manages the urban and rural security work in Naian, and is in charge of nearly 10,000 guard troops distributed across the province.
The position of Sheriff is also one of the top five in the province's high-ranking official system. Although it is slightly inferior to the tax officer, financial officer, and public works officer, it is in charge of general public security cases and patrols cities and villages.
It also does some work such as managing the market and spot-checking vehicles and ships. As everyone knows, the police department has always been very rich.
Because the political structure of the empire was vertically managed, the power to appoint and remove local officials was entirely in the hands of the governor. As a general manager who directly obeyed His Majesty the Emperor, in this era, the power of the governor was astonishing. Under his own rule, he could say the same thing.
, let whoever you want to come in, there is no need to say hello to Rumancheng.
After each governor takes office, he always replaces these important positions with his cronies. In this way, even the new governor of Xinnen can completely control the place in an instant.
Naturally, when there is a change of governor, the middle and high-level imperial officials like them will also have to change.
Ignatz came from a very ordinary background, and he fought his way up from the grassroots level with his own ability. Marquis Maleton was a soldier because he was born in the army, and he did not have any civilian confidants.
At that time, General Larry was just brought in to replace the original Naian Army General.
The Marquis of Maleton served in Naian for a short period of time. He did not even complete his term and was transferred to the north as commander of the military region. Lorraine subsequently became governor of Naian.
After hearing that although the new governor was young, he had a strong background, officials like Ignatz felt uneasy.
Lorraine is the son-in-law of the royal family and has a very strong background. He also became famous in the battles between Maple Leaf Danlin and Almohad. Young governors like this who are not old but have achieved outstanding results are all ambitious.
The good days of these high-ranking officials may have come to an end.
But I didn't expect that when Nai'an took office, he only brought a few of his girlfriends and Leo, a genius child, without even a single confidant.
They knew that Lord Lorraine's advantage was his rapid rise. In a short period of time, he went from a rural nobleman to a general who conquered east and west, and then became the governor of the empire.
But the shortcoming is that he rose too quickly and had no foundation. If he hadn't had Archduke Julius and Catherine supporting him behind his back, he might have been thrown to a certain place by Russell in the name of "exercise".
The unknown little nook lived a hard life and spent his whole life in the main hall, taking the little money he earned back home to support himself in old age.
Unexpectedly, Lorraine almost went to the post alone. Although Catherine and Adele were more powerful than Lorraine in governing Naian, they listened behind the scenes and would not occupy a certain official position.
Not only did Lorraine not make major changes to Naian's senior officials, but during their subsequent interactions with him, these middle and high-level officials discovered that Governor Lorraine was actually a wonderful person who was well versed in the rules of officialdom and was carried by everyone in the sedan chair.
As long as they did not violate the taboos of Governor Lorraine and the two proprietresses, Lorraine would turn a blind eye to their actions.
Especially after the siege of Nedel, Ignatz felt that his life had never been so easy. Due to his outstanding performance in the siege, and more importantly, these performances fell in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
inside.
As a meritorious person, Ignatz not only received praise from Lorraine and Catherine, but was also reported to Ruman City.
Ignatz was sitting leisurely behind his desk at the moment, holding a glass of 20-year-old red wine and reading the newspaper's jokes about the patrolling cardinal.
Although he is the Sheriff of Nai'an, he is usually very leisurely, unlike Angus who is exhausted every day.
Ignatz threw the newspaper away, leaned back in his chair and laughed. As a senior executive, he knew a lot of inside stories. Lorraine didn't actually like the Holy See, Bishop Hilmeria and Lorraine's family.
They have a very good relationship, like the bosses behind the newspaper are Lorraine and Leo.
When the visiting bishop Fordo arrived, Ignatz also went with Lorraine. The scene at that time was not a happy one. Ignatz himself had no good impression of the higher-ups of the Holy See. Seeing that fat man and a pig
, No, it is simply a stupid fat pig who openly loses the face of Bishop Hilmeria. Isn’t this the face of Her Royal Highness Princess Bo?
Seeing today's report, Ignatz didn't find it strange at all. He dared to show off in front of Hilmeria, and he didn't think about it. He was the person who saved young prince Leo. During the battle in the Governor's Mansion, after passing by all kinds of people,
After the vivid artistic processing, there were intense twists and turns.
With the tempers of Lorraine and Catherine, it would be damning if they could make this patrolling bishop feel better.
Naturally, this patrolling of the cardinal had nothing to do with Ignatz. For Ignatz, he could just stay away and watch that idiot's joke.
At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door. Ignatz stuffed the wine glass into the small cabinet on his desk and said loudly: "Come in."
The captain's adjutant pushed open the door. He was sweating profusely and didn't bother to wipe it off. After saluting, he said hurriedly: "Sir, something happened."
Ignatz was also startled by his appearance and asked quickly: "What happened?"
The adjutant wiped the sweat off his head and gasped: "Sir, the cardinal of the Holy See had a fight with others in the street, and now everyone is at the headquarters of the Guard."
Ignatz was dumbfounded and said: "Which cardinal?"
The adjutant said anxiously: "There is another one, that fat man who just came here. He was beaten on the street."
Ignatz felt that his heart was about to stop. He jumped up from his chair like a twenty-year-old young man, pressed his hands on the table and shouted in panic: "What the hell is going on?"
The adjutant said with a grimace: "Sir, I also know the details. I know that a group of people from the newspaper office and a group of people from the cardinal are all scolding each other in the guardhouse. You'd better go over there quickly.
"
Ignatz slapped his forehead, lowered his head and thought for a moment. A cardinal on patrol was beaten. It was not a trivial matter. If a fight broke out, he, the police chief, would not have it easy.
Ignatz raised his head, grabbed his coat, said "let's go" and hurried out.
He jumped on his carriage at the door and headed straight to the headquarters of the Guard.
After arriving at the gate of the guard headquarters, Ignatz first saw the captain who had been pacing anxiously at the gate.
Seeing that it was Ignatz's carriage, the captain's eyes lit up, he ran towards me on both sides, took the initiative to open Ignatz's carriage door, and said, "Sir, you are here."
Ignatz said "Hmm", raised his eyes and glanced around. Seeing that there were no pedestrians near the guard headquarters, and there were no guards at the gate. Ignatz pulled the captain, and the two of them walked to the guard headquarters to avoid people.
corner of the wall.
Ignatz and the captain gathered together and asked in a low voice: "What exactly happened? Please tell me in detail."
The captain gave a wry smile and said: "Sir, that cardinal took some wrong medicine today. Early in the morning, he led his men to smash up the newspaper headquarters on Xingfu Road.
.”
Ignatz took a breath, widened his old eyes, and said in surprise: "That cardinal, he... smashed the Xingfu Road newspaper office?"
The captain thought to himself: Isn't it just a newspaper office? Although he has a deep background, he didn't know that the Sheriff was so rude.
Then he nodded and said: "Not only was the newspaper office smashed, but all the people working in the newspaper office were beaten, and some of them were seriously injured."
Thinking about the report this morning, Ignatz couldn't laugh or cry now. He thought to himself: It really takes skill for this pig-headed bishop to be so stupid. He only arrived in Naian for two days and he offended everyone in the governor's family.
Toru, thinking about Lorraine's temper, Ignatz sneered in his heart, this bishop is just waiting for bad luck.
The captain looked at his boss's expression and asked anxiously: "Sir, does this... newspaper background have a deep background?"
Ignatz patted the captain on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "It's so deep that it's as deep as the sky. Remind the brats below that it's best to stay as far away from that newspaper office as possible."
Of course the captain knows what "holding the sky" means. There are two people in Nadel City who hold the sky, the eldest princess Catherine and the future emperor Leo.
The captain also took a breath of air-conditioning and thought to himself: No wonder the people in the newspaper office are so arrogant that they even dare to scold this cardinal. They are considered to be the royal family's property. Maybe he will become a big shot that day.
.
Ignatz said: "What happened next?"
"Later..." Since the captain knew that the newspaper company was the property of Catherine or Leo, he naturally lost his good impression of Fordo and the others for overestimating their capabilities and said with a sneer: "Later, the bishop's people beat the newspaper people, and suddenly
A group of people came out of nowhere and started fighting around the bishop. They beat the bishop until he was no longer a human being. His followers were also beaten badly. When the brothers arrived, they beat them.
But all the people quickly ran away.”
Ignatz muttered: "You deserve it."
The captain asked: "Sir, that cardinal has been making trouble inside and wants us to give him an explanation. What should we do?"
Ignatz felt relieved at this time. Since this matter related to the eldest princess and the young prince, Lorraine naturally knew it. I believed that Lorraine would have a way to deal with the cardinal, so that they would not have to suffer.
for.
With confidence in his heart, Ignatz said easily: "Okay, I understand. Let the brothers go out and understand the situation, but don't take any action. Things may not be that simple."
The captain said cautiously: "Sir, I know, I will inform the brothers."
At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart: We can't afford to offend either the cardinal or the royal family, but he ruined the royal family's place, and the excitement was a bit noticeable.
Ignatz straightened his collar, patted his clothes, and said with a relaxed expression: "Let's go, I'll go meet the patrolling bishop."
By the time Ignatz entered the hall of the headquarters, the people from both groups were tired of scolding, and they were all holding their wounds and screaming.
Fordo was sitting on the chair angrily, gritting his teeth with a fierce look on his face.
Seeing that Ford's head was swollen like a big rubber ball, one of his eye sockets was red and the other was black, and his face was also covered in blue and purple, it was very pretty.
Ignatz tried his best to keep his face straight so as not to laugh. Looking at Fordo's miserable appearance, he still had the demeanor of an imperial envoy of the Holy See.
Ignatz coughed twice, calmed down his expression, went to Fordo, and said: "Sir, I am Ignatz, the Sheriff of Nai'an. If you have any situation, you can tell me."
When Fordo heard that a high official had arrived, he immediately shouted: "Okay~!"
He jumped out of his chair, pointed at Ignatz's nose and cursed loudly: "You officials are all idiots. Look at the place you manage, there are people who dare to publicly slander the clergy of the Holy See, with such a sound
You have no one to take care of these lawless things.
This is a slander against my personal reputation, a slander~!
I want to punish those who slandered me severely. Did you hear that? I want you to punish them severely."
The people at the newspaper office were naturally unwilling and jumped up and started shouting tit-for-tat with him.
"Sir, he led his men to destroy our newspaper office and injured our staff. Look, several of us are now injured like this. Is it possible for a cardinal to commit violence in public? We want to see
See if there are any laws in the Ruman Empire. If we are not given a fair explanation, we will file a lawsuit with the Heraldry Institute."
Ignatz smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: This is all my fault, what should I do?
Then he said loudly: "Please rest assured that we will handle this matter fairly and justly. Now please calm down and record the matter with our people."
Fordo said loudly: "I haven't finished saying that yet. Not only was the newspaper publicly slandering me, but when I was reasoning with the newspaper people on the street, a group of thugs even attacked me. Listen carefully, there is someone
A group of thugs attacked the cardinal at the Holy See headquarters. I ask you to catch the thugs who attacked me within a limited time. I will bring them to justice. If you cannot satisfy me, even if your governor comes, I will
If I don’t leave, I want Lorraine to give me an explanation.”
Ignatz thought to himself: Do you people in the Holy See reason with others like this? You deserve to be punished
Then he said with a smile: "Sir, calm down the fire. All my men have gone to the streets to track down those people."
He turned to the soldier behind him and said, "I haven't even served you tea yet. You really don't even have a look at me."
The soldier quickly brought a cup of hot tea to Fordo. After yelling and cursing for so long, Fordo was really thirsty, so he picked it up and took a few sips.
Ignatz was thinking about how to send Fordo away so that he could discuss it with Lorraine.
But Fordo suddenly put down his teacup and said, "By the way, although the thugs who attacked this bishop had their faces covered, one of them was short and carrying a big strange animal."
Fordo was too thick-skinned to say that he was knocked down and beaten by a child. He, a cardinal from the Holy See headquarters, couldn't even beat a child. If he said it, it would be a scandal.
, the only thing that can be said at the moment is that he is a small man.
Ignatz had a bad feeling in his heart and asked tentatively: "What big animal?"
Fordo said: "It's several times bigger than a pig. It has four legs, a big head and ears, and a long thing on its mouth. It can reel in people like a snake. If you follow this trace, you will definitely find the person."
Ignatz's expression suddenly became weird, his face was as tight as a goldfish, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were bulging, and his face was tense.
Fortunately, Ignatz was also an experienced politician. He had been an official for a long time and had cultivated his energy a lot, so he didn't scream out in surprise.
Did Ignatz know that the animal described by Fordo was an elephant, and everyone in Nedel City knew that the only person who could take an elephant out to fight in a group was Young Master Leo.
Ignatz suddenly understood in his heart that this was the patrolling bishop who had ruined Young Master Leo's property and was sent back as revenge by Leo.
His thoughts changed rapidly, and he thought to himself: This case cannot be investigated, but we can't let the bishop know that His Highness Leo beat him, right? What should we do?
Thinking that this was Young Duke Leo and the Bishop beating Leo, it was beyond his ability, so he had no choice but to report it to Lorraine quickly.
Ignatz showed his composure and said: "I have written down what your Excellency said. Please be patient. I will inform the Governor right away."
Fordo said angrily: "It should have been like this a long time ago. I would like to ask Lorraine how he manages this Naian."
Ignatz ordered to the left and right: "Take care of me, sir."
Then he hurriedly left the hall as if his buttocks were on fire, jumped on the carriage and rushed to the Governor's Palace.
Not to mention that the guard system has been messed up like crazy, Lorraine and Leo beat up Fordo on the street, knowing that the patrolling guard soldiers would soon arrive and lead the mafia to sweep Maple Leaf Dan.
Lin, young father-in-law Leo, who has rich experience in struggle, immediately said hello: "The wind is tight, pull the whistle."
He and Lorraine fled with the Praetorian Guard soldiers.
After walking through the streets and alleys, Lorraine and Leo took a small path back to the Governor's Palace and walked into the hall. They clapped their hands and laughed proudly.
Leo's belly was bulging, and he laughed and shouted: "It's fun, it's fun."
Catherine and the others heard the noise and walked out to look at Lorraine and Leo. Catherine frowned and asked, "What's going on? Who is making trouble in the newspaper office?"
Leo said: "It's the cardinal yesterday. That guy actually ruined my president's business. Of course I can't spare him."
Hilmeria exclaimed and said, "That person actually destroyed the newspaper office just for that report?"
Lorraine nodded and said, "When Leo and I arrived, they not only destroyed the newspaper office, but also beat up the staff."
Adele's pretty face turned cold, and she snorted and said: "What, why is that cardinal so arrogant? Doesn't anyone bully Nai'an? No, we have to deal with them severely."
Leo said boldly: "As you can tell, I went up and beat him up so hard that I turned that guy into a pig's head."
"What?" several women exclaimed at the same time.
Catherine raised her eyebrows and said, "You beat that cardinal."
Leo nodded proudly and said, "Not only me, but the boss was also on board. The one who screamed and screamed was as miserable as a slaughtered pig. It was really a relief."
Hilmeria didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Adele was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and rolled her eyes at Lorraine with a playful look.
Lorena said carelessly: "Just fight, no big deal, Leo, well done."
Catherine's face darkened and she said: "How can you, a royal person, go up and beat a cardinal yourself? You can just let your subordinates do it.
And Lorraine, you too, how did you teach Leo and do it yourself? One of you is a member of the royal family and the other is a governor. If this is spread, it will be a big scandal. "
Seeing Catherine's sudden outburst, Lorraine smiled and shrugged, and Leo said indifferently: "Okay, okay, sister, you are worrying too much, I am such a brainless person. The boss and I are both fools.
After all, the guards are wearing casual clothes, so there is no way that guy would recognize us."
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Oh, that's good. No, I've been thrown into a ditch by you. What you did is wrong."
Leo puffed up his chest and said dissatisfied: "What's wrong? He smashed my newspaper office, so he bullied me. I can bear this kind of anger, but I'm still not a male prostitute."
Lorraine patted Leo on the shoulder and gave Leo a thumbs up. Leo's eyes narrowed.
Catherine laughed angrily at Leo's words, shook her head and said: "You...you..."
But I don't know what to say.
Lorraine said: "Just hit him, it's no big deal. This guy comes with bad intentions and is looking for trouble. There is no need to give him a good face."
Catherine is also a strong woman. She has never tolerated being bullied. She is extremely disgusted with the Holy See. She thought about it and said, "Are you sure your face is covered so that you won't be recognized?"
Leo said: "Don't worry, you don't want to see what I do. The boss admits that he is better than his master in fighting sap. I guarantee that that guy won't recognize us."
Catherine looked at Lorraine with disbelief. Lorraine nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Catherine sighed and said, "You two are really my nemesis."
Leo pulled Melina and said with a smile: "Come on, Milena, let me tell you how I dealt with that guy. I went up at that time and first used a black tiger move to dig out the heart, but it was a false move, and then a hook sickle move
He knocked him down with his feet, and he shot his bows left and right... and Xiaobai, who frequently used his big moves to deal with one of them at once..."
Ignatz soon learned the truth and came to ask to see Lorraine.
When he saw Lorraine, Ignatz looked businesslike and told Lorraine exactly what happened.
During this period, Ignatz looked at Lorraine's face. He saw the young governor nodding "um" and "um" without any expression on his face. Ignatz was secretly amused.
After Ignatz finished speaking, Lorraine said with a face: "This is too much, in broad daylight. Let's go, I will go there in person to comfort Mr. Fordo."
Ignatz could clearly see Lorraine's suppressed smile.
"Yes, sir," Ignatz nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be. However, sir, could you please advise Young Master Leo to please your highness not to take your pets to the streets for a while? There are many thugs on the streets.
if……"
Lorraine said "Oh" and said: "Yes, yes, you are right. Okay, Ignatz..."
"Yes, sir" Ignatz lowered his head and said.
"Just laugh if you want."
Lorraine arrived outside the guardhouse. Before entering, she heard Fordo roaring loudly from a distance.
"I am the special envoy of the Holy See~!"
"To detain me is to be disrespectful to the Holy See. It is disrespectful to the Pope. It is disrespectful to God the Father~!
"After I return, I must report it to the Holy See and mobilize the iron-blooded judges of the Inquisition to judge you~!"
"Excommunicate you people~! Excommunicate~!"
"..."
Lorraine listened and immediately praised: "This girl screams so happily, her lung capacity is quite sufficient~"
Then he turned his head, pointed to the place where the sun was the brightest, and said to the attendant next to him: "Set me a chair. I want to enjoy it for a while."
Lord Luo is not stupid. At this time, Fordo is very angry. If he goes in now, that guy will inevitably point the finger at him.
I am not his biological father, and I won’t rely on that guy to support him in his old age in the future. Moreover, he has become a big brother. He rarely does it in person like today, and has a group fight. It feels very relaxing and invigorating, and the whole body feels great. Now he is doing it.
I'm happy, there's no need to go all the way to that guy, only to be bitten by him a few times and lose my interest.
At this time, the guards took action, and within a short time, tables and chairs were placed on the grass, as well as a parasol.
Lorraine slumped down on the chair, then put her feet comfortably on the table, and then took a sip of the Felinsi champagne smuggled in through the Eagle Import and Export Company.
The wine had been carefully cared for by the best bartenders, had been fully chilled, and had just been opened. It also had a lot of foam and tasted extremely good.
Lord Luo couldn't help but groan, this is life~!
Lorraine sat outside basking in the sun while listening to the noise of those people inside. When it was noon, she heard that they were still having a good time, and immediately ordered: Since they are so energetic, let me get them
Save money on lunch.
As the saying goes: People are like iron, rice is like steel. Blessings
After Erduo saw the newspaper, he took everyone out without eating breakfast, so they all ran out to make trouble. They had a fight, and after staying here for most of the day, they were already hungry. Now they are not allowed to eat at noon. Even though it is a blessing
No matter how much Erdo could make a fuss, by mid-afternoon, he had no energy left.
When Lorraine saw that the fire was almost done, she stood up calmly, put a smile on her face, and strode in with a hurried pace.
"Where, where?" Lorraine shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.
He opened the door to one room after another and looked at each one until he found Inspector Fordo.
Lord Lorraine was so busy with the group fight that he didn't pay much attention. And as soon as he heard the words "The city guards are coming", out of conditioned reflex, he picked up Leo, turned around and ran away. He didn't take a closer look at the results of the battle.
At this time, Lorraine took a closer look and realized that Fordo looked extremely embarrassed. His round and fat face was bruised and bruised by Leo's beating. His two big eyes were also black and blue with blood bruises. It looked like
Just like a giant panda.
The luxurious holy robe on his body was also torn into tatters and stained with dust. It was extremely miserable.
Fordo had already run out of energy. When he heard the movement at the door, he turned his head in confusion and tried his best to open his eyes to see clearly.
At this time, Lorraine had already taken a few steps over, then held Fordo's hands tightly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm late. I went out of the city for an inspection, and I heard it as soon as I came back.
I got the news and it came right away. But it was still too late~!
Sir, are you not injured?"
Fordo looked out from the swollen gap in his eyes, unable to see clearly. He hesitated and said: "You are..."
Lorraine said: "It's me. I'm Governor Lorraine of Nai'an. I was the one who went to greet you yesterday. Don't you remember?"
Hearing this, Ford immediately became energetic.
"Aha~!" He yelled and jumped up from the ground like an inflated ball. "You're finally here~!"
He turned his head, pointed at the city guards, and said: "Master Governor, hurry up, arrest all these people. These bad guys dare to detain the cardinal. This is a major blasphemy. They must all be arrested."
Caught and exiled for three thousand miles..."
The city guards didn't expect this guy to be such a scumbag. After hearing his words, all of them had angry expressions on their faces. They were all filled with hatred for not locking him up in a small dark room and punishing him severely.
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, these city guards are all my subordinates, and they arrived as soon as possible after receiving the report. They are not detaining you now. From a legal perspective, they are just asking you to assist in the investigation.
.Firstly, there was no beating, secondly, there was no scolding, and thirdly, there was no torture to extract a confession. This makes it very difficult for me to handle.”
He paused for a moment and said: "By the way, sir, what on earth is causing such a big fuss?"
Fordo suddenly came to his senses, slapped his forehead and said: "That's right. Mr. Governor, go quickly, go quickly, there is a newspaper or something there, they are spreading rumors and insults, saying that I am related to a prostitute. Others.
If you don’t want to do it, you must take care of it for me. Search their homes and wipe out all their families, so that I can eliminate the hatred in my heart~!"
After talking about it, I felt angry and even gritted my teeth.
Lorraine immediately wrinkled her face before she could speak.
At this time, a cold voice from the side came: "Mr. Fordo, I don't know how you get around in the Holy City. But we follow the law here. It's not that you act recklessly and kill whoever you want. You must be imprisoned."
Wherever anyone is imprisoned~!"
Fordo was stunned, turned his head and hissed: "Who are you?"
The man smashed the thick document in his hand on the table, then sat across from him and said: "I am Pali, the chief prosecutor of Nai'an Province. All those who have committed crimes are under my charge. Don't look at you.
He is a cardinal, but let me remind you, this is not your church. We have the final say here~!"
Fordo sneered immediately and ignored Pali. He turned to Lorraine and said: "This is your official in Nai'an. I think he not only does not take me as a cardinal in his eyes, but also, Lord Governor, I think
He may not even take you seriously."
Pali also refused to give in and said: "Mr. Fordo, you don't need to pick anyone.
To tell you the truth, although the Count of Lorraine has great power as the governor, he cannot do whatever he wants. There is also the Imperial Ministry of Justice and the Senate. The prince commits the same crime as the common people. Once he commits a crime, he will be punished as well.
Show no mercy. If you need to be removed from office, you must do it according to the law~!"
Ford choked.
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Pali, I'm still here, you don't have to be so unkind~!"
Pa Li bowed respectfully and said: "Sir, I know that Sir, you have a good moral character and can be regarded as a model. However, your subordinates always speak straightforwardly, so you don't need to pay attention to it.
However, Sir, I still want to advise you. You have a bright future ahead of you. It’s best to stay away from some hypocrites who tell one thing and say another. They appear to be sanctimonious but are actually committing crimes. Save the money.
It will get you into trouble."
After speaking, he glanced at Fordo coldly.
Fordo was so angry that his whole body went cold. His lips kept trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, okay~! I...I am a hypocrite, I...can't I just leave?"
With that said, he stood up and left.
Pali slammed the table and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go? Where are we going? Let me tell you, if you lead people to smash up the newspaper office and destroy other people's private property, they have already sued you. You can't leave today~!"
Fordo was so angry that the Three Corpse Gods jumped and hissed: "You...you...I want to write a letter to His Majesty the Pope and file a complaint against you~!"
