Devil’s Son-in-Law

Three days later, Dark Moon City held an extraordinary meeting of great interest.

In the hall, Princess Shea sits in the middle seat, Old Gaussian stands behind her, Joseph, Allen, Chen Rui, Tim, Old Ford of the Sabres, Lombardo of the Mellons...

At the meeting, Shea began by routinely summarizing the recent dark months, including the emergence of the Bezib royal family and the Great Jet of Silang Mountain. Later, Old Ford was the first to stand up and question Joseph's close associates who bought Tim two years ago and lured Tim to the lower level of the main mine to assassinate him.

Joseph was prepared for this, denying it, demanding strong evidence from Old Ford, otherwise this inference alone would not be convincing. If Old Ford could not hold the evidence, he would demand a fair verdict from the Elder Princess, punishing Old Ford for slandering the treasurer.

After a battle over lips and tongues, the matter could not be resolved with Shea's mediation, and then the topic shifted to the question of the candidature of the finance officer.

In accordance with the three-year practice, treasurers and justices of the peace should have been re-elected at the beginning of the year, except that Joseph and Allen, at that time unwavering, deliberately postponed the election with privilege and extended their terms of office. On the face of it, the reward for both of us is actually waiting for a more appropriate opportunity, and until today, this pen will not be useful.

Joseph did not say anything, speaking from Lombardo, the chief of the Mellon family, who exemplified and described the good momentum of the "steady rise” of the Dark Moon Territory economy in various ways, all thanks, of course, to Joseph, the incumbent Treasurer. Lombardo deliberately pointed out that thanks to Joseph's vigorous efforts, the Dark Moon would sustain a large amount of food aid, and that alone, Joseph's re-election as Treasurer would be unacceptable, the small family on Joseph's side would be at peace.

Joseph still smiled, and these words were uttered by Lombardo, much better than his bragging, especially as food was the soft ribs of the dark moon, and as long as he grasped them, the treasurer's position was stable as a rock.

Old Ford still refuses to accept softness, claiming that the western corridor is now open and does not have to rely on the support of the Dark Moon family. If the Dark Moon family works together, it will surely alleviate the food crisis of the Dark Moon. At that point, Joseph's words broke Old Ford's final intransigence, and as long as he was re-elected, food aid to the dark moon would increase by a further thirty percent starting next month.

The food problem has plagued the dark months for centuries, and while Old Ford's words seem to make sense, everyone understands that business roads are not built in a day or two, and that the situation in the west is now unstable, and no one can guarantee that they will be an effective solution to food. Reliance must now be placed on the support of the haunted territories, and if aid were to increase by 30 per cent, it would considerably alleviate the biggest problem of growing food stress in the dark months. In this way, the dark moon cannot be separated from the gloomy “aid”.

Thea finally slapped the board, agreeing to Joseph's re-election as Treasurer - in fact, under the odd effects of Chen Rui's energy dust, a secret food base was successfully established and a large amount of grain was stockpiled, and the Dark Moon had become self-sufficient. But at the moment, it's not appropriate to expose the cards. If Joseph thinks he's willing to give 30% more food, why not accept it?

Joseph did not wait for Old Ford to say anything, shifting the subject directly to the real target sheriff, praising Allen for his contributions to the Dark Moon over the years and offering to re-elect Allen.

However, Old Ford's words immediately changed Alan's angry face, and Old Ford pinpointed Allen's mediocre incompetence, low personal strength, despicable and cowardly, and the loss of air sports to powerless humans did not speak, and then cheated in Aguri's and Rekaa's competitions, which were well known and unserviceable. Moreover, as a magistrate, Allen lacked the most basic command, the Dark Moon Guards were distracted, neglected to train, and even had low combat power, repeatedly annihilating western bandits.

Tim of the Sabres, on the other hand, struggled for two years in the danger of underground warcraft, escaping death, and his personal strength has reached the level of a high-ranking demon. After fleeing the ground, Chen Rui, the mining officer, gave his magic, plotted the success of the SS surprise attack bandit regiment, and was the first to succeed in poisoning the bandit regiment leader, eventually becoming the key figure in the western part of the dark moon, the current prestige in the dark moon far outweighs Allen, which is the best choice for the magistrate.

When referring to the rescue of Chen Rui, the mining officer, Tim glanced at Chen Rui and saw the owner's cooperative and thankful gaze, without a word in his heart.

That statement did not in any way give Alan or even the Karon family any face, but it was irrefutable that Alan was so angry that he could not refute it. At first sight, Joseph was in the wrong place, nominated Lombardo, the head of the Mellon family, and Alan's face was even more gloomy.

Old Ford and Lombardo are old wrongdoers. One look at each other's braids is a big one. There is no room for attacking each other at all. If it weren't for the long princess sitting in town, she would have just started.

The so-called upper nobility, after tearing down that noble coat, turned its face up to be no different than the hawker in the vegetable market.

Joseph's eyes fell on Shea's face, and Shea's face was faceless, just staring at Tim and revealing the color of his movements. Analyzing the current situation, Alan is certain to be unable to re-elect himself and destroy such a good opportunity for bandits in the west. Shea waits so long, naturally she will not stop, and will definitely regain control of the magistrate's position. Tim is the best candidate. Lombardo and Old Ford are mutually counterproductive forces. Besides, Lombardo is not really Joseph's power. Instead of giving Tim the power of the Dark Moon to his heart, he would rather go back and ask for the second place, using the “Agulet” scheme...

That temporarily stable ally, there must be some further conspiracy, puppet? Control or something? In any case, it is beneficial to him, Joseph.

“Gentlemen, listen to me.” Joseph used a faint force to hold down the voices of old Ford and Lombardo.

Joseph sighed and said, "I remember, I almost forgot the most important thing. ”

Joseph's eyes fell on Chen Rui, who remained silent: “Remember when I recommended Chen Rui as a new mining officer at the last quarterly meeting, I said that if the issue of Silang Mountain was resolved, I would further recommend him as a magistrate. ”

When this came out, everyone remembered that it was true that this was happening and that strange colors appeared: such a powerless human being is eligible for military power?

“It will be recalled that I also signed an instrument with our Honourable Mining Officer and that Her Royal Highness personally acted as the arbitrator, which I still retain in triplicate.” Joseph said, taking an instrument out of the space ring, under the control of power, floating in front of everyone one by one. Indeed, in addition to Chen Rui's and Joseph's signatures, there was Shea's own magical signature on it. ”

As soon as Chen Rui listened, his eyes lit up. This time it was Tim's turn to cooperate and reveal a grim look. Joseph looked in his eyes and smiled harder. He rose to give a gift to Shea, and said positively: “Now that the problem of Xiluanshan has been solved, it is time for me to fulfill my promise... His Highness, I now officially recommend Chen Rui, the current mining officer, as Sheriff. ”

The old Ford of the Sabres family didn't expect such a change, so jumped out immediately to oppose it, indicating that Chen Rui was weak and incompetent. How could he steal Tim's triumphant fruit if the solution to the problem of Silang Mountain had nothing to do with it?

Tim was so sweaty to hear that. In fact, both Xilanshan and the crisis in the underground world were solved by Chen Ruiyi, who, by the count, was the real plagiarist.

Everything is under the master's control, including Joseph's "support," and Tim is completely oral to the master, despite his bullying and ability.

Unexpectedly, the Mellons quickly reversed to Chen Rui's side on Joseph's instructions. The situation became strange and the sheriff's choice became an internal struggle under the Princess.

Shea looked at the instruments she had signed and her eyes became complicated.

Joseph sneers: Thea always says she must live up to her word, and her prestige is so high that if she wants to destroy the promise herself, her prestige will surely decline. As for Chen Rui, it was only at the right time that he and the Mellons were eligible to compete with the Sabres at the meeting, so that the powerless and backgrounded guy would only do worse than Allen if he sat in the sheriff's seat.

Besides, Aguri will vigorously “support” the representative of the new forces, Chen Rui, with the heart of the Pessib royal family, will surely lead to the inevitable division of the original united Shia side.

Shea seemed to sigh, stood up, and the quarrel stopped and all eyes fell on the Lord of the Dark Moon.

Shea faintly said: "Now that the paperwork is ahead, the magistrate of Dark Moon City is Chen Rui, the mining officer. Two years after Tim's disappearance, he succeeded in temporarily returning to Mount Silang as a mining officer and was also the chief of the West Road Guard, responsible for mine development and the defence of the western side of the Dark Moon, with a maximum strength of one third of the garrison, to be awarded later. ”

Old Ford wanted to say something else, but he didn't say it. The angriest was going to count Allen. As soon as Shea announced the adjournment of the meeting, she got up and left. She looked at Joseph and Chen Rui and others before proceeding. Her eyes were filled with resentment.

This time the biggest loser is undoubtedly the former magistrate.

Old Ford brought Tim here to congratulate Chen Ruiyi. The words were full of cynicism. How ironic the human being meant to be “benevolent and vengeful”.

Everyone knows that the magistrates are not so good, and Chen Rui is just a powerless human being, especially offended by old cards like the Sabres.

Joseph walked over with a smile: "Congratulations, Chan Rui. In the future, there will be more areas of cooperation. ”

“Thank you for your recommendation.” The man who dramatically climbed the Magistrate's throne appeared to be overwhelmed with excitement, suddenly felt the cold breath behind him, looked back at Shea Yin and shook a chill, afraid to talk to Joseph more.

Shea's cold eyes fell on Joseph's face, and Joseph smiled as if, bowing slightly, he turned around.
