Back at the official residence, Stanton went into the restaurant and drank a large can of ale.


    He pulled out his sword, chopped the wine cans, cracked the table, and smashed all the plates.


    He wanted to cry, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He couldn''t let his law enforcement officers see his tears.


    "You are stupid, more stupid than your father..." the words of the chief inspector were like a knife, stabbed in his heart, and he trembled with pain.


    Finally, a law enforcement officer came to him and whispered, "the housekeeper of the foreign minister asks you to go to the mansion."


    Stanton bit his teeth, tidied up his clothes and said to the law enforcement officer, "how do I look?"


    "No, not very good," the law enforcement officer replied truthfully.


    Stanton washed his face, put on his cloak and was about to go out, but stopped at the door.


    After standing for a long time, he squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: "tell the housekeeper of the foreign minister that I am very busy today and visit again another day."


    "Er..." the law enforcement officer suspected that he had heard wrong.


    "Do you want me to repeat it again?" Stanton looked back at the law enforcement officer. His ferocious expression made the law enforcement officer shiver.


    After seeing off the housekeeper of the foreign minister, Stanton came to Manda''s official residence.


    "I want to prepare a gift for the general. What do you think is more suitable?"


    Manda naturally understood what Stanton meant.


    "Prepare a sword, a good sword, and wait for my news."


    Manda went to see longersen and truthfully conveyed Stanton''s situation and wishes. He knew longersen would not refuse. He brought Manda from the seven star mountain to the king''s capital just to develop his own power. Now he has developed another sheriff, which is a good thing beyond expectation.


    "Tell Stanton to see me tomorrow."


    ……


    The craftsman Mu Saudi struggled all night, drove the children out near noon and said to his wife alone, "I''m going to a place, maybe for a year."


    The wife was stunned: "where do you want to go?"


    "I can''t tell you."


    "Then you don''t want to go anywhere!"


    "I''m doing this for our family. In fact, I don''t know where I''m going."


    The wife said with tears in her eyes, "I said, you don''t want to go anywhere! If you dare to go out of this house, you''ll never come back!"


    Mu Saudi lowered his head and took out the twenty gold coins. The flashing golden light stopped his wife''s tears.


    "What is this? Where did you get so much money?"


    "I can''t tell you that if I want to keep these gold coins, I must leave home for a year."


    The wife stroked the gold coin and said in a trembling voice, "I heard someone robbed the dusk tavern. Did you do it?"


    "Don''t say that stupid thing!" Mu Saudi put away the gold coins and shook his head. "Forget it, I''d better return the gold coins."


    "Wait a minute!" seeing Mu Saudi put away the gold coins, his wife burst into tears again. "With this money, we can buy a house in the east of the city instead of living in the north of the city... Just for a year?"


    Musha nodded.


    "I will pray for you day and night, and you will come back safely." his wife hugged Mu Saudi Arabia tightly. Mu Saudi Arabia had mixed feelings, and I didn''t know whether to cry or laugh.


    ……


    The foreign minister and the chief inspector came to Stanton every day. Stanton was closed. After ten days, the chief inspector couldn''t bear it. He went to the palace to advise the king and asked for Stanton''s dismissal.


    This is the power of the great inspector, and the king cannot ignore it. According to the practice of the Kingdom, he called officials to discuss the matter together, including Stanton. He had the opportunity to defend himself.


    The reason of the chief inspector is very simple: "Stanton is unable to assume the duties of a sheriff. There are thieves in the east of the city, and they have not been arrested yet. He should resign his post like heram."


    This statement was approved by the finance minister. Other ministers saw that they were trying to follow suit, but longson spoke:


    "A tavern caught fire and a flower garden (another name of the place of the wind and moon) was stolen. It''s too childish to dismiss the sheriff for such a small matter."


    "General, this is not a trivial matter. They are all serious businessmen. If the king can''t guarantee their safety, how can we talk about the majesty of the kingdom?"


    "There will be thieves everywhere. How can the thief who stole a few gold coins involve the majesty of the kingdom?"


    "It''s not a few gold coins, it''s... It''s a gang of villains committing murder!" the chief inspector was a little excited and almost leaked his mouth. "They set fire in the king''s capital. This alone proves that they are extremely poor and vicious thugs!"


    Longersen said with a stolid look, "the nightfall tavern is just on fire. Which thief will steal in a poor tavern that can''t afford to pay taxes? What''s his purpose? Is there something particularly precious in the tavern? Should we check it carefully?"


    While talking, longersen glanced at the foreign minister, who quickly avoided longersen''s eyes.


    It was found that longerson intended to protect Stanton. The big inspector realized that the situation was bad, but he still refused to rest. He stopped referring to the previous two cases and accused Stanton of taking bribes.


    "I heard some voices and got some evidence. Stanton took something he shouldn''t take from the businessman in the east of the city! I can call a witness to prove Stanton''s crime now!"


    The chief inspector was very angry. It was his duty to impeach the officials, and it was not up to longson to give directions. But his approach is very irrational. As far as bribery is concerned, everyone here is not qualified to accuse others.


    Longerson smiled: "This is a new thing. I really want to ask the witness why he offered bribes to Stanton? What good benefits did he want? Did he hide criminals or didn''t want to pay taxes? By the way, the tax officer is responsible for tax collection. Should we also check whether there are many businessmen in the east of the city who can''t afford to pay taxes? Why do they still have money to offer bribes? Should we check everyone How many times? "


    As he spoke, longerson looked at every official, and everyone avoided his eyes, including the Government Secretary.


    "I don''t think it''s necessary to delve into this matter," the Government Secretary began to be kind. "Stanton did make some mistakes, but it''s far from being dismissed, but you should learn a lesson and perform your duties more seriously in the future..."


    Looking at the absurd performance of everyone, Manda''s heart has been laughing. As the most innocent official in the king''s capital, he raised his head proudly.


    The chief inspector still refused to stop, but the king lost his patience. He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "are you finished?"


    The hall became quiet in an instant. The king got up and everyone stood up. The king knocked on the table again and said with a sneer: "there has been no meeting in the palace for a long time. It''s rare for you to come here for this little thing! You wasted my afternoon for this little thing!"


    The king roared, all the officials lowered their heads, Stanton breathed, and the crisis was finally over.


    But it was too early for him to be happy. Suddenly, the king asked, "Stanton, what are you doing these days?"


    "I, I''m repairing the dusk tavern..."


    "You are very careful, are you very idle? Who opened that pub? It can make you so diligent!"


    The finance minister looked pale. As long as the king asked again, he would immediately kneel down and admit his mistake.


    But the king did not investigate the matter: "did you recruit craftsmen in the north of the city?"


    Stanton nodded.


    "Have you forgotten what I said? Why did you go to the north of the city without authorization? It''s not your jurisdiction! How many times do I have to say this to make you understand!"


    Stanton was scared out of his wits. Manda felt something strange. Why was the king so sensitive to the north of the city?


    "Let''s go," the king turned and left his seat. When he left, he pointed to Stanton. "This is the last warning. If you exceed your authority, you will not be forgiven!"


    At the end of the meeting, the officials left and arrived at the gate of the palace. The chief inspector said to Stanton fiercely, "don''t think this matter is over. This is just the beginning, if you..."


    In the middle, the inspector swallowed back. He found longson standing behind Stanton and smiling at him.


    This boy has become longson''s man? He really doesn''t know how to live or die. Wait, God will not let him go.


    The inspector went away in anger. Longson patted Manda and Stanton on the shoulder and invited them to the mansion for a drink.


    When he arrived at the general''s house, Stanton said wrongfully, "what did I do wrong? I just went to the north of the city to recruit craftsmen. All the good craftsmen are in the north of the city. Don''t your majesty know?"


    Longesen said with a smile, "don''t worry. Ultra vires is indeed the most disgusting thing for your majesty. He also wants to divert the attention of Ministers so that they don''t hold on to you anymore."


    Manda took a sip of wine and remained silent.


    This is not to divert attention or blame Stanton for exceeding his authority. It''s not that simple. There should be some secrets in the north of the city.
