Without the invitation of the finance minister, longersen took his nephew to the palace. He had been with the king for many years. He knew that some things could be big or small.


    1400 gold coins are not much. As long as you give the king a reasonable explanation, the king will not embarrass Longsen.


    But if the king feels contempt and slack, it is another matter. His nephew and even longson himself will be severely punished, and the king''s self-esteem can''t be touched.


    Heram was injured and his arms and chest were bandaged. This sincerity alone had calmed the king. Of course, in front of the finance minister, we should do enough.


    Longson and his nephew made amends to the king. The king scolded them and then forgiven them. Next, they were asked to recover the stolen taxes as soon as possible and severely punish the bandits. The whole thing came to an end.


    After leaving the palace, long Gesen took heram to the residence and asked about the story in detail. According to heram''s description, more than a dozen bandits suddenly appeared from the street, knocked down the soldiers and robbed the box containing gold coins.


    This description made longersen extremely dissatisfied: "you said it was a dozen people. Didn''t you even see the number of each other? Did you say they appeared from the street, which house or shop? Or from pedestrians? Did the other party have special skills? Did they look special? In which direction did they escape?"


    Heram can''t answer a word. He has been a sheriff for five years and has only dealt with some ruffians and unruly businessmen. Few bandits will commit murder in Wangdu. Ordinary people don''t dare to think about taxes, and no one will easily find heram''s trouble. It''s the nephew of the great general.


    Longersen glared at each other, and heram blushed. Jim, the old housekeeper, quickly brought two glasses of wine and whispered to longersen, "let the young master sit down first. He''s hurt."


    Longesen sighed and didn''t ask any more. Heram is a believer of the Titan God atlas. Although he has only one rank, he also has good strength and can seriously hurt him. It shows that his opponent is not ordinary. Such people are rare in kings, and most of them are sent to the fire rack by God.


    As long as his subordinates were dispatched, they could soon find their traces. Longersen entrusted the task to the commander Qiao Jiya. He thought he would receive the news in two or three days, but five days later, Qiao Jiya had no harvest, but there was another accident in the south of the city.


    Four headless corpses appeared in the street, only a hundred steps away from heram''s house. This incident caused an uproar in the king''s capital. The south of the city became a forbidden place. At night, no one even dared to walk alone in the street.


    The king called long Gesen to the palace and said with a smile, "many ministers have come to the palace these days. I haven''t seen them for months. Guess what they are doing here? Let me give you a hint. They all live in the south of the city."


    The south of the city was the residence of the nobility, and the consequences of the incident were self-evident. Long Gesen didn''t say much and asked the king to give him a few more days.


    This time, longersen dispatched five thousand captains, but there was still no harvest. Five days later, an event that angered the king happened. A house outside the Minister of state was on fire. At that time, the Minister of state was in the house and luckily picked up a life under the protection of the guards.


    The king called longersen and heram to the palace. When he saw the burned government minister, heram wanted to defend himself, but longersen pressed him to kneel on the ground.


    "Your Majesty, horam is willing to resign from the post of sheriff. All the things that have happened in the south of the city during this period are at my disposal."


    As the nephew of the general, he always thought he should get a higher position, but he didn''t expect to lose even such a low post as a security officer. But longson''s palm kept pressing on his neck, so that he didn''t dare to say a word more.


    After decades of falling and climbing in the battlefield and officialdom, longersen knew what the immediate thing meant. This was not an accidental public security incident, but someone wanted to operate on his nephew and threaten him.


    Longersen is not afraid of threats, but he can''t let heram get involved. With his nephew''s poor wisdom, he will be involved in this level of struggle. I''m afraid he will die without a whole body.


    The king knew longersen''s mind, but he was very dissatisfied with his practice: "your nephew resigned, and who will be the sheriff in the south of the city?"


    Long Gesen was unable to answer for the moment. There must be many people who want to be an official, but there are few suitable candidates in the Wangdu.


    Although the sheriff is a low-level official, he can''t choose from the civilians, and most of the nobles have taken refuge in the divine punishers. Only longson and the government minister lesio can maintain their absolute loyalty to the king.


    Longson is not married and has no children. He has only one nephew. Lesio has three sons who hold other official positions and are above the sheriff.


    If other nobles recommend it, it is equivalent to infiltrating the power of God punishers around the king. In terms of the current situation, there is not much space around the king.


    "I''ll give you a month to find a suitable person to replace your nephew. From today on, I don''t want any atrocities in the south of the city."


    When he returned to the mansion, heram couldn''t help crying. Distracted longersen drove heram out of the mansion and called the commander jorgia instead.


    "I want to recommend you to the king as a sheriff. You continue to track down the whereabouts of taxes. When you have eyes, you are ready to take office."


    Georgia shook her head and said, "I''m afraid I''m not so lucky."


    Longerson frowned and said, "it seems that you are used to a peaceful life. You can''t even do such a small thing."


    "My Lord, I will not shirk the task you gave me. I will try my best to find the whereabouts of taxes, but I am just a civilian and am not qualified to be an official."


    Longson sighed, picked up his glass and took a gulp of red wine.


    "After following me for so many years, I failed to give you an aristocratic status. I wronged you."


    "Sir, please don''t say such words. I never cared. I have a more suitable candidate for the sheriff."


    Longerson smiled: "tell me."


    "Craig munchke."


    Longerson was stunned: "how did you think of him?"


    "Because he is an expert in dealing with bandits and an ancient god believer, and he is Stanley''s friend and Almon''s subordinate. He has the same position as Almon. He will maintain absolute loyalty to his majesty and will never compromise with the punisher. I firmly believe that he is the most suitable candidate."


    Longson shook his head and said, "I''ve never seen him."


    "With your help, he can become a viscount. Although he has not seen you, I believe he will not forget this kindness, and I firmly believe that his Majesty would like to see the viscount."


    Craig munchke... Longson was lost in thought.
