Manda''s first target is the finance minister. Although he is an official of the second echelon, his family background is much thicker than that of the senior general and the government minister.


    When refugees besieged the city, the finance minister could not return to his house, but there were nearly a hundred servants and bodyguards in the house, and they did not dare to slack off.


    In order to get rid of the suspicion, Manda and others changed into refugees'' clothes. Leo still wore the robe of God Punisher and could stutter for the refugees. He didn''t care to offend these nobles.


    Late at night, the action began. Manda promised Leo not to kill as much as possible, but as soon as they entered the house, lioness and moaila killed more than a dozen servants. Leo was deeply indignant at Manda''s barbaric behavior. He could see more than a dozen bodies, and the others in the house gave up resistance on the spot.


    "Proper bleeding will reduce more casualties," Manda smiled. "Deacon, can you feel the wisdom?"


    According to the previous agreement, Manda asked for money and Leo asked for food. Neither side was disappointed.


    Manda found more than 3000 gold coins in the finance minister''s house, not including all kinds of gold and jewelry.


    Leo found more than 20000 pounds of grain in the outer house. Without a carriage, he sent a hundred monks to carry it away.


    A refugee can get 20 pounds of food, which made a thousand refugees leave Wangdu. Leo, who participated in the robbery for the first time, had mixed feelings. He knelt on the ground and confessed all night. His strong sense of guilt made him unable to get a moment of peace in his heart.


    To make matters worse, there is a feeling stronger than guilt, like a flame burning from the chest to the throat, and then from the throat to the top of the head.


    At dawn, the haggard Leo found Manda and said, "let''s do it again."


    Manda looked at Leo in amazement and said angrily, "I didn''t expect you to be such a person! The Lord will punish you!"


    Leo didn''t say anything. Manda looked around, took out the map, pointed to one of them and said, "let''s go here tonight."


    "Whose house is this?" Leo''s face showed an indisputable excitement.


    "Sheriff west of the city, Hobbes."


    Leoton lost interest: "I know Hobbes very well. He is an honest official."


    Manda smiled, "really?"


    Leo thought for a moment and said, "even if he is greedy for a little money occasionally, he won''t have much wealth. He''s just a sheriff."


    Manda glanced and said, "really?"


    "He is a believer of the Lord. I believe in his character!" Leo said stubbornly. "If you don''t believe it, let''s go and see it tonight. I even suspect that he doesn''t have a house at all!"


    Late at night, Manda took Leo to the sheriff''s house. Leo was stunned at the scale of the house.


    Officials are not big. Sometimes it depends on power. For ordinary people, bribing magistrates is much more beneficial than those unattainable ministers.


    Although the outer house was a little remote, it was bigger than the outer house of the finance minister. Leo closed his eyes and prepared to repent before the robbery.


    But a moment later, he opened his eyes, gave up his confession and said to Manda, "do it, the Lord won''t blame me!"


    In five days, Manda ransacked all the ministers'' houses and harvested more than 17000 gold coins. Leo harvested more than 100000 pounds of food. With the support of the church, they succeeded in persuading more than 10000 victims away.


    This account was calculated on the head of the divine Punisher and the victims. Manda returned to Wangdu without guilt.


    But the king did not intend to reward Manda. There were still refugees pouring in from the south. The refugees under the king''s capital approached 30000 again. There was only one way to send them away, that is to open the granary.


    But this time Manda didn''t make any suggestions. He just watched silently, watching the decision of the king and the government minister.


    The reason is very simple. Someone will speak for him.


    Archbishop Howitt did not want the refugees to attack the king''s capital, let alone the nobles. Their outer house had been looted. In addition to heartache, they advised the king with the archbishop and asked to open the granary immediately.


    I had to admire the strength of the government minister. At this stage, he still didn''t change his mind, and with only a few words, the king made a decision.


    The granary of Wangdu could not be moved, and the refugees depended on their own hands to survive.


    This absurd decision finally ignited the anger of the nobles, but I didn''t expect them to resist so fiercely.


    With the support of the archbishop, they led their servants to forcibly occupy the granary, removed a million pounds of grain from the granary and sent it outside the city.


    The process was violent and the ending was perfect. Unfortunately, Manda was involved. He was the chief Sheriff of Wangdu.


    "This has happened! This has happened!" roared the king. "My granary has been robbed, krech munchke, what face do you have to stand here and talk to me!"


    It''s really humiliating. According to reason, Manda should take the blame and resign.


    But he didn''t want to do so. The ministers involved in the robbery said it wasn''t their fault. Why should Manda take responsibility for it?


    No matter in any era, the thickness of a person''s face determines the upper limit of a person. Manda promised the king on the spot: "give me a month, I will catch all the villains involved in the robbery, whether he is a noble or a divine Punisher!"


    The speech fell to the ground, and the Government Secretary couldn''t sit still.


    "Your Majesty, the ministers made such a mistake for the sake of the safety of the king''s capital. As for the archbishop, I heard that he also opened the granary of the cathedral. He was also bent on resolving the crisis brought by the refugees to make up for the mistakes made by bucken."


    "Make up? Do you think such a mistake can be made up?" the king shouted. "Bucken tried to kill the king. Nothing can make up for his crime unless he saw his head!"


    With red eyes, the chief minister said, "it''s not the Archbishop''s fault. He sent us the news in time. Have you forgotten?"


    "If I can live to this day, I should thank the Lord of the gods for his protection. Do I have to thank the bad old man?"


    Manda secretly observed the king''s expression. The erosion of artifacts seemed to have brought him some changes. He was not so easy to accept the opinions of the Government Secretary.


    But the minister didn''t give up. He sobbed softly, "can''t this crack be repaired forever? Can''t the king ever return to his former peace?"


    The king fell silent and Manda guessed the end.


    Don''t even think about it. The king accepted the suggestion of the government minister and won''t investigate the matter any more.


    But Manda got another important message. The government secretary not only likes to solve problems in a gentle way, but also likes peace. Even if it is only superficial peace, he will spare no effort to maintain it.


    Since we can''t judge his ideas logically, we can only grasp some of his characteristics. As long as we master enough, we can naturally find a way to get along with him.


    "Go, sheriff," the king ordered. "You have food. Send the refugees away."


    A million pounds of food gave Manda and Leo the absolute initiative because bucken''s hoard of food was running out.


    He has only more than 10000 refugees left, and these refugees may not remain loyal.


    There was not much time left for him. He decided to gather all his strength to attack the king''s capital.


    He plans to start tomorrow night. This time he won''t be so careful. As long as the Dragon fengxiao war horse leaves the gate of the king''s capital, he immediately sends a divine punishment army to entangle them, and then let the divine punishment army hidden in the city attack the king''s palace.


    Late at night, bucken returned to his tent early to rest. He wanted to save enough energy for the battle tomorrow night.


    But I never dreamed that while he was sleeping, two divine punishment warriors sneaked into his tent and stabbed him with more than a dozen knives.


    Archbishop Howitt, do it first.
