In the night wind, the silver mask reflected the moonlight, and Lei Mingkai looked at the busy crowd below with a half-smile.
"Then I'll have someone chase you right away."
Veretta said.
Lei Mingkai shook his head and raised his hand to stop Veretta's movements.
"No, no need. Today is just to say hello. We will have many opportunities to fight against the Black Knights in the future."
Lei Mingkai lowered his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was detained by the soldiers and looked at boxes of illegal drugs being moved to the open space in front of the warehouse and piled up. His face was ashen.
"Today's results are enough to make a good start! Veretta."
Veretta didn't understand what Lei Mingkai meant, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that she understood it, but she just couldn't explain why.
Seeing Weiletta's beautiful and slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, Lei Mingkai smiled faintly.
"Veretta, it's almost time. Retract the team and send a message back to the governor. Just say, the mission is completed."
"yes!"
The first mission of the Q department was completed very well.
Although the encounter with the Black Knights led by Zero was as predicted, judging from the result, it was indeed enough to submit a satisfactory answer to Cornelia.
The next day.
Cornelia was blocked by a group of nobles as soon as she arrived at the political hall. You don't need to know the reason why.
Especially when Cornelia saw the middle-aged man with a kind face and kind eyes standing in front of the nobles, she had already guessed the purpose of these people.
"Count Augustus, why did you lead people to block the governor's way?!" Gilbert, the captain of the guard, took a step forward, stopped in front of Cornelia, and scolded.
But the next moment, Cornelia raised her hand and patted Gilbert's shoulder, stared at Count Augustus and said: "Count, if you have anything, you can follow me back to the office to discuss it in detail. Make a decision
Such an abrupt move really goes against the aristocratic style of our Brittanian Empire."
Cornelia's words immediately made many nobles who followed Count Augustus and blocked the door look at each other and subconsciously took a few steps back to get out of the way.
As the leader, Augustus remained calm and maintained his good-natured attitude, turning slightly sideways to get out of the way.
"The Governor is right. I was the one who was abrupt!"
A small conflict broke out.
But there is a bigger conflict that is about to break out.
"Tell me! Earl, and everyone, why are you here today?"
After returning to the office, Cornelia raised her hand and asked all the entourage except Gilbert and Adjutant Dalton to leave the office. Then, she sat on her seat and calmly waited for Count Augustus' call.
Open your mouth.
"Governor. I would like to ask if Department Q was established under the order of the Governor himself?" Augustus did not speak. Instead, a certain young nobleman standing in the crowd stepped out from the crowd, saluted Cornelia, and asked.
"Yes. I ordered it. Is there any problem?"
Cornelia's answer was very straightforward.
Cornelia's abruptness caused the nobles to lose their minds for a moment. In the communication routine between these nobles, everything started with wrangling.
This was true even when the late third prince Clovis communicated with nobles like them.
But Cornelia was so straightforward that she admitted that Department Q was formed under her command.
"So, you don't know what the functions of Department Q are?" Another middle-aged man wearing a white aristocratic dress with a series of medals hanging on his left chest asked Cornelia with a haughty expression.
As soon as she saw this person, Cornelia immediately recognized him. No, it should be the family origin behind this person.
It is the Turinus family with outstanding military exploits and great reputation. But the middle-aged man in front of him is the most useless third son of this family, Ponturas Turinus.
As a scion of a family with outstanding military exploits and a prestigious reputation, not only did he fail to go into battle to kill the enemy, he instead indulged in the world of flowers and swaggered through the city all day long wearing the medals that his fathers had fought for with their blood and life.
Simply, like a clown.
Thinking of this, Cornelia couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice:
"Viscount Ponturas. The current duty of Department Q is to target the Black Knights who openly rebelled against the empire during the recent hostage kidnapping incident. Is there any problem?"
"Black Knights?!"
As soon as Cornelia's words came out, many nobles started talking.
You know, during this period, the existence of the Black Knights made the nobles feel a fear they had never experienced before.
No matter how strict the defense is, it will be captured by this mysterious black knight, leaving behind many corpses punished by it in the name of justice.
During the discussion, Count Augustus slowly asked: "Governor, is it worth all the trouble?"
"oh?"
The corners of Cornelia's lips curled up slightly, and she said calmly: "Whether it's worth it or not, I don't have the final say alone. According to the reports gathered after the multiple attacks, the Black Knights' goals are clear and stable. "
Cornelia opened the drawer of her desk, took out a document, placed it on the table, and said word by word: "This is the first task completed by Department Q last night. I wonder if any of you have any Interested in checking it out?"
"this"
As soon as last night was mentioned, many nobles turned their attention to Augustus. No matter Cornelia, Augustus, or even themselves, they all knew that they were just supporting roles.
Today's protagonists are only Cornelia and Count Augustus.
"Your Highness, I wonder what you mean?" Count Augustus said slowly: "The private property owned by the imperial nobility should be protected by imperial law. Why does the Q department directly under the governor dare to break into the private property of the nobility and wantonly Trample the laws of the empire!!"
"Imperial law?"
When she heard this word, Cornelia smiled instead of getting angry.
"The count is really joking! How can a warehouse containing a large amount of illegal drugs be protected by imperial law! I wonder, can Count Augustus explain to me which article and section of the imperial law states that Illegal drugs will be protected by imperial laws!!"
Cornelia's expression quickly turned cold and stern, causing many nobles to take a step back subconsciously. It was not until just now that these nobles realized that Cornelia Li Britannia, the imperial princess galloping on the battlefield, was not what they imagined. Like that, a weak woman who stayed behind and became a legend thanks to the victory gained by the knights of the Guards.
And Earl Augustus gradually lost his kind face and became more and more ferocious.
However, just when he was about to explode, he suddenly calmed down.
"The governor is right. It was my lax discipline that allowed my subordinates to take advantage of the loopholes and almost caused a big disaster. I, Augustus J. Otus, will have no complaints whatever the governor punishes."
Count Augustus's performance made Cornelia look murderous, but she was helpless.
Although Lei Mingkai led the Q department to seize a large number of illegal drugs, it could not become the key evidence to bring down the crazy blood-sucking nobles entrenched in District 11.
"Well. I am very grateful to Earl Augustus for his understanding and righteousness. That's it for today! I will have someone send the results to Earl Augustus's residence."
"Yes! I have offended so many people today! Please forgive me, Governor! In the future, please also ask the Governor to work with us to move forward for the stability and prosperity of District 11!"
After a confrontation, both sides made concessions.
Seeing Count Augustus leading many nobles out of the political hall, Cornelia's face became colder and colder.
If Area 11 is handed over to Euphemia rashly now, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.
Cornelia knew the character of her younger sister Euphemia very well. But she knew that it would be difficult for Euphemia to deal with these nobles who were already flesh and blood.
"Dalton. In the name of the Governor, I commend Department Q and hope they will continue their efforts! In addition, if the mission requires it, you can request cooperation with the Guards!"
Adjutant Dalton bowed slightly and responded: "Yes! Your Highness!"
The praise from the Governor's Mansion quickly reached Lei Mingkai and others.
"Wow! It seems that the Governor values you very much! K!"
Looking at the commendation prizes sent in the name of the Governor's Mansion, Lloyd looked at the calm-looking Lei Mingkai in surprise and said.
Lei Mingkai walked to the table, raised his hand to pick up the champagne placed in the ice water, shook it, and said with a smile: "This is not a prize. Lloyd, this is a reminder."
"Death reminder?" Cecil blinked and asked with some confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Lei Mingkai chuckled, unscrewed the cork of the champagne, poured wine into the glass, and looked at Veretta.
"Veretta, tell me."
"yes."
After Veretta nodded, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "This morning, Count Augustus led many nobles to block Governor Cornelia and his party at the door of the Government Hall. Then.
, in the governor’s office, a small conflict occurred between Governor Cornelia and Count Augustus. The result was Count Augustus’s compromise and these prizes.”
"Ouch! Put it this way, this is really a reminder! K! It seems that your new job is not a good thing!" Lloyd, who understood, gradually had a playful smile on his lips.
He and Cecil knew about Lei Mingkai's past and the reason why Gao Long died in the battle.
Now the development of this matter is inadvertently moving in a certain direction.
"Isn't it a good thing? That's not necessarily the case. For me, it is a very good job!"
After Lei Mingkai raised his glass and drank the wine, he spoke word by word.
