Fronos is the Minister of Internal Affairs of the neutral country Lomosi. Compared with other officials, he can stay in the city lord's mansion for a long time. The object of fawning—in fact, he does have a lot of power, except for the serious and rigid guards, he hardly frightens any other officials in the city.
But at this moment, the minister, who can be regarded as under one person and above ten thousand people, is also in a considerable predicament.
It all stems from a theft that suddenly started happening some time ago.
In the beginning, the criminals only attacked some nobles. Even if those people had any opinions, they were all aimed at the security officials in the city. It had nothing to do with him. Naturally, Fronos would not ask for trouble to get involved in these matters. .
Unexpectedly, the prisoner probably succeeded one after another, so that he became more courageous and stole into the city lord's mansion.
Even some precious jewelry that the city lord loved on weekdays was stolen.
That's okay, Fronos immediately arranged for his men to start investigating this matter.
But I didn't expect that no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find any traces or clues of the prisoner, as if the prisoner was an invisible ghost.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like the masterpiece of those amazing people with extraordinary power.
But even Fronos would not believe that those strange people with higher eyes than the top would do such a disgraceful act of stealing: as long as they reveal their identities and show their abilities, many princes and nobles will invite They become their own guest ministers and even court mages...
As time passed, there was still no progress in the case.
Although the city lord hasn't blamed him for the time being, if there is no change, those political opponents in his daily life will definitely attack him without hesitation, and those who covet his status will also add insult to injury.
So the top priority is to find the thief.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to split part of the property under his original name, and applied for a baronship from the city lord as a reward for the person who captured the prisoner.
Anyway, he can intervene in the management of most of Lomoxili's affairs. If the reward is just a powerless commoner, after a while, after the storm subsides, he can just find some reason to take the property back from the other party. up.
If it was other nobles who caught the thief in the end, then the loss of the property would not hurt him, and it would be regarded as the investment of the other party.
Therefore, after the city lord sent back the application letter with the word "ke", Fronos announced to the public the reward that seemed to be enough to make ordinary people soar into the sky.
Immediately responders flocked to it, which is not surprising. The channels of advancement in this era are basically controlled by the nobles, and there are very few opportunities for uneducated commoners to get ahead. It is precisely because of this that the reward this time will be There was an uproar.
I thought it wouldn't be so difficult to find the prisoner under such a situation where almost all the people were mobilized. But a week passed in a flash. Although many people actively reported suspicious persons and even lied about the criminals, after checking, none of them were the real culprits.
On the contrary, many thieves were sent directly to the security camp because of this incident, which boosted the security atmosphere in Luomoxi... It is estimated that the one who hates the prisoner the most is not the soldiers of the security camp, but the other thieves who were affected by the disaster. touch…
As for the idea of randomly finding a dead ghost to fool his own Lord City Lord, Fronos has not never thought about it, but whenever this idea arises, he will smack it wisely.
Although his own city lord is not very interested in the management of the city's affairs, as long as his subordinates don't make too much trouble, he will hardly intervene in the management casually.
But this does not mean that the other party is easy to fool.
In fact, that person is smarter than anyone else. Although he seems to be lazy all the time, his sleepy eyes, which seem to be always sleepy, can see through everything keenly.
No one has ever been able to play tricks in front of the city lord.
The reason why Fronos was able to achieve this position was not because of his talent. In fact, in terms of talent, his previous two positions were far better than him.
However, many people have a problem. After gaining a certain degree of power, their ambitions will further expand, and they want to grab more power. They even have a contemptuous mentality towards the leader who delegated power to them, thinking that the other party must not see it. Play tricks of using power for personal gain.
The same is true for those two, who feel that they can cover the sky with one hand, so they start to further exploit.
If it was replaced by other monarchs, they would probably be emptied by them, and if they really succeeded, they would turn this country into a mess.
But this city lord was different, he killed those two people directly with almost thunderous means.
That's right, beheading. Fronos felt that he would never forget that tragic appearance.
However, the city lord was well aware of the crimes of the two men, and only announced them one by one after beheading them, making it impossible for anyone to even think of confrontation.
Because of this, although Fronos was a little greedy, he never dared to use any messy means to fool that adult.
"Lord Fronos."
When Fronos was still deep in thought, an attendant came to him: "Another person claims to have found the prisoner."
"is that true?"
"I don't know..." The attendant looked a little embarrassed.
And Fronos' face became unhappy.
"Didn't I tell you? Unless the authenticity is verified, you don't need to inform me, just break a leg and throw it out!"
"Uh... that's where the problem lies." The attendant looked even more embarrassed, and he whispered, "We can't beat him."
Fronos was shocked when he heard this, but quickly returned to his previous calm look: "Where's the city guard?"
"The man has already knocked down two teams, and there are still a few teams that should be rushing over... But the other party seems to have enough time, and is still making strange gestures and saying 'I want to fight ten' or something like that. .”
"..."
It is not uncommon for ordinary people to fight against a team of city guards with their own strength, but those who fought so easily are probably not ordinary people.
Could it be that the holder of some extraordinary power entered Lomoxi
Fronos had a headache, but he still looked extremely calm on the surface.
"I'll go out and have a look first. If necessary, I will use words to stabilize the other party. You should hurry up and inform the city lord's guards, and let them tell the city lord about the matter."
"Yes, my lord."
The other party quickly left Fronos' office.
Fronos' face fell down.
"Damn it, I won't be so unlucky to be involved in those strange people's battles..."
