MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 752 : The Owned Hero (Part 1)
Viola led a few of his men into the manor, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Coriff and the others in officer uniforms, and then subconsciously said hello: "Long live the king!"
With a gloomy face, Corriv also replied, "Long live the king!"
He had already learned from his sister that every time this group of policemen came to investigate, not only would they mess up the house, but some of his father's collections would also be lost for no reason.
Under such circumstances, it is a dream to want him to show a good face!
Slowing down the initial surprise, Viola gradually entered the state, and asked with a cold expression: "We suspect that Mrs. Allu's murder was premeditated, can we go in and search?"
What about the people in the army? This time, the people above said hello, and they wanted to torment the Winston family to death. Even if something went wrong, the people above would naturally come forward to solve it.
Corriv, who led people to block the crowd in the middle of the courtyard, his face unconsciously twitched due to anger. This group of policemen are simply blatantly slandering and humiliating them!
Just when Coriff was about to attack, a young officer put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head slightly at him.
The reminder from his companion calmed down Corif who was in a rage.
The army and the police are two systems. As a military officer, if you openly obstruct judicial personnel from handling cases, you will definitely not get any good results when you go back.
Even if you really want to make trouble, you have to find a good excuse...
After calming down, Corriv turned sideways to give way to the room: "Hmph, please go ahead!"
Faced with this undisguised disgust, Viola smiled disapprovingly. After all, this case is the home field of the judicial department, so there is nothing he can do if he is dissatisfied.
After entering the room, Viola led a few of his men to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. They threw the items in the room into a mess, and many of them were thrown directly on the ground.
Coriff trembled in anger, gnashed his teeth, and squeezed his well-trained killing fists, while his sister Liz stood aside, holding his arm timidly.
Several young officers blocked the two with their bodies, not only to protect them, but also to prevent them from doing stupid things.
The silence of the officers made the police, who were still a little cautious, completely let go of themselves.
The things placed on the table were swept down on the ground grandiosely, and the drawer was opened for a brief glance, and then the drawer and the contents inside were thrown aside casually.
It didn't take long for the room to become a mess, and the eyes of Kelifu and others became more and more cold...
Until a policeman "accidentally" knocked down the most valuable collection in the room - the knight's plate armor, and stepped on the St. Yelein medal belonging to the knight of Winston.
The officers realized that it was time to attack!
Corriv roared ferociously, as if he wanted to vent all his anger: "Get your stinky feet away from me!"
The police were startled by the roar, and after recovering, Viola looked at Coriff and the others with a sarcasm on his face: "Are you sure you want to interfere with our case?"
Let alone a few lieutenants, even if it is a general in the army...
Uh, well, the generals and the others still can't afford to provoke them, but even if the school officials are here today, there will be absolutely no good results if they exceed their authority!
Coriff's eyes flashed fiercely, he looked at the policeman with the medal on his foot, and said bluntly: "I don't want to say it a third time, get your stinky feet away!"
Facing the menacing officer, the ordinary policeman was still a little timid, and subconsciously took a step back, only to realize that he had actually stepped on a medal, which he hadn't noticed just now.
Seeing his subordinates backing down, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Viola's eyes, and he walked straight over, stepping on the medal again.
Just kidding, if the people above know that they have been forced to subdue, then they will not have any good fruit to eat when they go back...
If you want to be humiliated, you have to be completely humiliated!
Viola's actions made Corriv almost draw his gun, but fortunately a companion grabbed the gun pouch in time to prevent him from making a big mistake.
Otherwise, if a public official is shot and killed for no reason, Corriv himself will have to be sent to prison.
A young officer looked at Viola with a cold face: "What you are stepping on is the Order of St. Yerin issued by His Majesty the King!"
Viola picked out her ears in a relaxed manner, and asked, "So what?!"
Isn't it just a piece of broken iron? If you step on it, you step on it, so what?
Now, even the other officers couldn't bear it anymore. This was not only a humiliation to Knight Winston, but also a disregard for the glory of soldiers!
The few people who decided not to bear it any longer pulled out their guns and pointed at Viola. Viola and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they immediately pulled out their guns.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Weapons, those are used to deal with the enemy. What are you doing against your own people? Why don't you put away all the guns!"
Winston, who had been staying in the room upstairs and refused to show up for a long time, had no choice but to leave the room at this time to stop the possible gun battle.
The eldest son died in the Yelinhe battlefield, his wife was arrested, and is still waiting for the verdict. If the second son and daughter make mistakes again, the family will really be broken up.
The young and vigorous Corif, who only had enemies in his eyes at this time, roared with red eyes, "Father, don't worry, I will make them pay for their arrogance today!"
Seeing that Corriv had no intention of stopping, Viola, who was already thinking of quitting, began to yell and curse in her heart.
Ma De, it is true that he is doing things for the higher-ups, but this does not mean that he has to bear the risk of his life because of this, he will die if he falls down a step? !
But the matter has come to this point, whoever persuades first will lose the wind, Viola and others have to bite the bullet and continue to raise their guns, so the two sides have come to a stalemate.
Seeing that his prestige had been reduced to the point where even a small conflict could not be stopped, Winston was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Since when did the world around him change?
Regardless of the objections of his family, friends, and subordinates, he insisted on participating in the battle of Ye Linhe, which had no chance of winning. As a result, his eldest son died in the battle, and he also limped a leg.
It was because of his loyal support for the king, but because of the new law promulgated by the king, he had to hand it over to Cai Hu, and ended up needing his wife to go out to support the family.
Or in the face of insults and slanders from the outside world, but firmly believe that the judiciary can make a fair ruling, and remain silent and indifferent from beginning to end.
He has been doing his best to be a good knight, an upright and good man, but why did he come to this point step by step? !
"Yo, it's quite lively!" Just when the matter couldn't end, there was a voice of teasing outside the door, and the deputy director of the intelligence department Kuaijian walked in with his men.
Seeing the logo of the Ministry of Intelligence on the bodies of Kuaijian and the others, the two sides who were at war with each other suddenly felt terrified, and immediately put their pistols back into their holsters.
Everyone is like a good baby who has made a mistake, standing there motionless...
The Ministry of Intelligence, an intelligence agency directly under the king, also directly represents the will of the king, which is an absolutely unquestionable authority!
Quick Arrow glanced at the medal that Viola stepped on, and said with a sneer: "You are stepping on the Order of St. Yerin issued by His Majesty the King, are you provoking the majesty of His Majesty the King?!"
Viola's heart trembled, as if her body had been electrocuted, she quickly took a step back, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Your Excellency, I have absolutely no intention of doing so!"
Kuaijian nodded meaningfully: "It's fine if you don't have one, get up!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Corriv and the others: "What's the situation with you again? Why aren't you in the barracks?"
The young officers looked at each other, and in the end it was Corriv who bit the bullet and replied, "Your Excellency, we are all on vacation at the moment."
Kuai Jian nodded clearly: "Oh, so that's the case, since it's a vacation with great difficulty, then don't make any trouble!"
Knowing that this reminded them, Coriff and the others smiled stiffly, then nodded.
After warning both parties separately, Quick Arrow looked up at Winston upstairs again: "Your Excellency, by order of His Majesty the King, may I ask you a few questions?"
Winston, who was heartbroken, nodded numbly, then limped down the stairs with a cane, pulled a wooden chair and sat down.
Quick Arrow didn't care about the impoliteness of the down-and-out knight. He also pulled a chair and sat opposite Winston.
Seeing this, Corif gave his sister a wink. Liz understood, and hurried to the kitchen to make tea.
The policemen like Viola and the officers like Corriv could only stand there and stare at each other, not daring to move.
He took out a notebook and a pen, and quickly asked directly: "The first question, why did your wife go to work in the county administrative office?"
Winston replied blankly: "The family's savings are getting less and less, and the second son's salary alone can't support the whole family. My legs and feet are handicapped, so I can only let my wife go out to work."
If it is an ordinary family, the income of an officer can support the whole family, but they are nobles, and they have to spend much more than civilians.
Although many unnecessary expenses have been saved, relying on the income of only one lieutenant officer is simply beyond his means.
Kuaijian showed doubts: "But as far as I know, Caihu under your name should pay you a dividend of 100 gold coins every year."
After Simon promulgated the new law, all the nobles' mining guards had to be handed over to be managed by the state, but the nobles could receive the mining guard's income dividend every year.
Moreover, there is a minimum amount for this kind of dividend, so even if the business is at a loss, each manor will at least provide the nobles with an income of one hundred gold coins.
A knight's manor, in addition to the manor where the knight himself lives, also includes the surrounding 300 acres of land.
The 300 acres of land are the ones who have to be handed over and managed by the state, and the manor courtyard where the knight himself lives is not in the scope of this management.
In the past, the aristocrats ran manors. If the situation was good, they might earn seventy or eighty gold coins, while those with poor incomes could only earn forty or fifty gold coins.
Therefore, the minimum dividend of one hundred gold coins is, in a sense, also a benefit for the king to appease the nobles.
Faced with Quick Arrow's inquiry, Winston was silent for a moment, with anger and questioning in his eyes: "No, in the past three years, I have never received any dividends!"
Kuai Jian's eyes were fixed, and he quickly remembered in his notebook: "So that's the case, the second question, have you made any complaints in the past three years?"
Winston was a little agitated: "Why not! I went back and forth to the administrative office and the procuratorate a dozen times, but no one paid me any attention at all!"
At this moment, Liz came to the two of them with the brewed black tea in hand. Kuaijian saw this and smiled friendlyly at the girl.
Snapped! At this moment, a stone smashed through the wooden window and was thrown into the house, hitting Liz on the head. The girl let out a muffled grunt, bleeding from her head, and fell straight down.
The cursing of the people came from around the courtyard: "The murderer pays with his life!"
Winston, who was originally emotional, closed his eyes in pain after witnessing this scene, and slumped on the chair again powerlessly.
This is the country he gave his life to protect! This is the people he gave his life to protect! ! Rather than going through such pain, it would be better to let him die on the battlefield of Ye Linhe!
"Liz!" Corif rushed to his sister's side eagerly, and after confirming that her sister just passed out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Kuaijian's complexion also became quite gloomy in an instant, but he didn't choose to take care of it, but continued to ask: "The third question, have you heard that other nobles have had such experiences?"
Winston nodded with a painful face: "Many old friends I know have never received dividends!"
Kuaijian quickly finished the record: "Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation, so let's go here!"
He got up and pointed to Viola and the others: "You guys are suspected of using guns at will to threaten others, go back with us and stay for a few days."
Before Viola could react, the quick arrow pointed at Corriv and the others: "And you guys too, come back with us and stay for a few days!"
Seeing that Kuaijian didn't just call them by name, Viola immediately relieved her heart, as long as she wasn't targeted.
Threatening others by abusing guns is nothing more than confinement for a few days at most, which is not a big deal!
However, those young officers looked at each other in blank dismay, their brows revealing thoughts, and they seemed to have noticed something. This seemed to temporarily isolate them from the outside world, which is commonly known as...seal!
The intelligence officer took out the handcuffs and handcuffed everyone one by one.
When it was Corif's turn, he hugged his fainted sister in his arms, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com looked at Quick Arrow with red eyes: "Will my mother get a fair sentence?"
Quick Arrow smiled at him: "Your Majesty will never treat his loyal warriors badly!"
…
Hurrying to the palace to meet the king, Quick Arrow briefly described what happened and asked Winston the three questions.
Simon sighed after hearing this: "Is it corrupted to this extent? The administrative judicial system really needs to be rectified!"
However, this is also expected. The limitations of the times are here. Before the new generation has been cultivated, he can only use this group of people to manage the country.
Simon looked at Quick Arrow: "Give the intelligence department half a month, can you find out all the corrupt, inaction, and the behind-the-scenes promoters of this turmoil?"
Kuaijian nodded: "There is no problem with the time, but the premise is that the turmoil must be allowed to continue to ferment, and those people must not be alerted!"
Simon waved his hand: "I know this, I will continue to drag the case to buy you time."
Quick Arrow seemed a little hesitant: "Your Majesty, Knight Winston has been under a lot of pressure during this period, and it may not be good for the case to continue to drag on."
Simon said impatiently: "He has lasted for half a month, I believe he can last for another half month!"
Kuaijian wanted to persuade him again, but Simon said unquestionably, "I make my own decision on this matter, and do what you should do!"
Kuaijian seemed a little helpless, and sighed: "Follow your will, Your Majesty!"
