"Are you sure what the Naxos Inspectorate is doing is against the law?" Antonios asked again.

"Of course! Dionia has a lot of legal provisions, but I've been reading them all these years, and I can recite many of them. To be honest, I think I can be the most senior judge." Said boastfully.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Terry Todmos." Antonios finally nodded in agreement, and for this reason, he could speak to the judge who has served for more than ten years.

"One more thing, Antonios." Laodicien added: "It is September, and Stromboli's term is about to end, and we should elect Naxos as soon as possible. Successor! I heard that the Asisters family just left here, how are your discussions?!"

Hearing this, Dolin looked at his husband with a slightly worried look.

And Antonios looked at Laodisian, who was eager and casual, but what came to his mind was what Asistes had said before, and he was inexplicably disgusted. After making such a big thing, whether it can be solved in the end is still a problem. You still want to worry about the candidate for the chief executive of Naxos. My father-in-law, your heart is too big! Naxos Can we decide who the Chief Executive will be?"

"If the chief executive of Naxos is someone we know well, I and a few other elders would be better off at their home in Naxos. Look at what Stromboli has done in Naxos over the past few years. The matter is completely incomparable to when you were there. We are also worried that the order of Naxos will be disrupted, so we want to choose a familiar elder who will not mess around in Naxos... Besides, the selection of the chief executive has always been It is the most important thing for the elders of our senate, and only we know the affairs of Sicily best, and other elders generally don’t rob us, right!” Laodisian retorted confidently.

"You are so stupid!" Although there was a quarrel with Asisters before, he was not alert to Antonios, so he looked at the complacent Laodisian and finally couldn't help scolding: "You think you Who is it, King Dionia! All candidates for city administrators can only be appointed with the approval of His Majesty Davos. In the past, he did not speak when you elected, probably because he did not think it was necessary, but This time... you must know that he hates the slaves abused by citizens the most! What do you think His Majesty Davos will think if you jump out at this time to benefit yourself!"

This remark made Laodician stunned on the spot.

"What... how about this?!" Doreen asked worriedly.

"I hope Your Majesty hasn't noticed about Paphogres..." Antonios sighed.

… … … … … … …

"...The whole family of Asisters went to Antonio's house for a banquet..." Davos smiled slightly after reading the new information submitted by Aristillas: "Aristillas, I wonder if your subordinates are too much? When you’re free, your relatives are gathering for dinner, so you can’t let go of such trivial matters?”

"Your Majesty, I decided to show this news to you because I thought it was worthy of your attention," Aristillas said calmly.

"What do you think..." Davos looked up at him, his expression seemed calm, but the majesty he exuded made Aristillas uncontrollably bow his head slightly: "Then tell me, they talked about it at the banquet. Something that makes you think something is wrong, eh!"

"This... I don't know." Aristillas replied directly: "However, I know that during the time when Asistes had not returned to Turii, Antonios, Laodisian... waited for Sicily. The elders of the lord have been trying to elect Asisters to Naxos, and I have just received a tip-off from Naxos, where an astonishing murder has occurred, and Paphogres, son of Laodicien With serious suspicion, he has been detained by the Naxos police station."

"Paphos Grace? It's the young man who made a scandal at Adoris's school graduation party..." This familiar name reminded Davos of a farce that happened in Turii two years ago. This incident did not shock him as much as the others, after all he came from a previous life, energetic young people drank too much, and it was common for men and women to touch their feet, and in the end, no real harm was caused.

"It's him, Your Majesty."

"How did he get involved with the murder this time?" Davers asked again.

Aristillas was busy telling the whole case in detail. After Davos listened, his face gradually became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "This son of Laodicien is very courageous, it seems that he is thinking about it. To leave his name in the legal history of the kingdom and kill six people in a row is unprecedented! If he escapes punishment like this, what is the point of the existence of the court of the Kingdom of Dionia!"

"Crack!" Davos slapped his right hand on the desk, making Aristillas nervous, and then he heard Davos say: "You said that the Naxos police station is now detaining the slave who voluntarily confessed his guilt. , and detaining real criminals, and it has been delaying to close the case as soon as possible, what does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know either. But Lord Stromboli has met with Naxos Judge Ardaurus several times, and has repeatedly refused to see the slave butler of the Laodician family, as well as Naxos's Priest Hades has also been to the prison of the Inspectorate once..." Aristillas said cautiously.

"Looks like Stromboli's secret letter is coming soon... I want to see what they're up to!" Davos tapped his fingers on the back of the chair, lost in thought.

The murder of an elder's son is not really a big deal, and a warrant is issued to demand a thorough investigation, and it can't make a big splash at all. But through this murder case, Davos saw a deeper problem: why did the Naxos domicile officials not discover the problems of the slaves in the Laodician family in time, resulting in the female slaves being killed one by one (The "Dionysian Law" stipulates that slaves purchased by citizens' families must also be registered at the urban household registration office. When checking the urban population every year, the number of slaves and health problems must be checked at the same time)? The mountain where Laodician's home field is located was originally owned by the kingdom, so why did the people of Naxos never dare to go? Otherwise, someone would have found the burial place long ago! Why did the members of the local council of Naxos intercede to him when something happened to Laodice's son? Stromboli had to close the door to thank you! And why can't the judge of Naxos work with the police station to sentence the real murderer as soon as possible, but delay it as it is now? …

Naxos has a big problem right now! I'm afraid it's not just Naxos... Davos tapped the back of the chair: After the Great Greek War, Dionia occupied almost all the land in Great Greece, but because of the war, the population dropped sharply, and the spare land was everywhere. In addition to the new establishment of the kingdom, many systems need to be adjusted... There is a backlog of work on him and the Senate, so it is natural for everyone to focus their energy and work on the land of Great Greece, after all, here It is the foundation of the kingdom of Dionia. The governance of the Sicilian territory is relatively relaxed, as long as it remains stable and there is no major disturbance, and there are no stricter requirements, so the so-called "Conqueror of Catania" Antonios will continue to do it for six years. The chief executive of Naxos, Antrapolis, a new veteran who has never had administrative experience, has also become a chief executive of Catane because of the trust of the exiles of Catane...

Now that the overall situation of Great Greece is on track, Davos originally wanted to wait for the end of the Downey War, and then focus on purging Sicily, but now it seems that this plan will be brought forward.

"Laodisian...Antonios..." Davos recited the names of these two people in his heart, suddenly remembered something again, and looked up at Aristillas who was standing upright: "Antrapolis is still there. Will Siriting be an administrative adjutant?"

"Yes."

The administrative road of Antrapolis can be described as high and low. First, he served as the chief executive of Catane, but Catane is a big city after all, with a large population, a vast area, and complex members. He lacked administrative experience. He felt powerless, and even nearly caused a riot. In the end, when he worked for the second year, he took the initiative to request to resign.

Davos sent Antaoris to replace him, and Antrapolis, who was reluctant, took the initiative to ask Davos to serve in a local office to increase his administrative experience. How could Davos refuse such a motivated young veteran, so he arranged for him to serve in the rebuilding Siri Court: two years as a city inspector, one year as a city supervisor, and two years as a city household registration officer , a one-year city agricultural officer, a one-year city commercial officer, and now the Silitine city administrative adjutant, mainly in charge of trade... It took Antrapolis eight years to almost put Dionia A city's main mid-level public office was held all over again.

Siriting, a city devastated by war, has gradually become a new pearl in the southern city of Dionia from its decline after the war to today. Antrapolis has made a lot of contributions, and he has also benefited. It is not shallow, I believe that no one in the Senate will make fun of him as a veteran with no administrative experience. On the contrary, there are probably very few people in the old group who have held so many administrative and public positions like him.
