Machine Lion Roar
Chapter 22 The Empress and the Nobility 2/3
"Do you smell it?"
In the night breeze, the silver mask reflected the moonlight, and Lei Mingkai looked at the busy crowd below with a smile.
"Then I'll be chased by someone immediately."
Veretta said.
Lei Mingkai shook his head and raised his hand to stop Veretta's movement.
"No, no need. Today is just a greeting. We will have many opportunities to fight the Black Knights in the future."
Lei Mingkai looked down at the middle-aged man who was detained by the soldiers, and the boxes of illegal drugs were piled up in the open space before the warehouse.
"Today's results are enough to be a good start! Veretta."
Veretta didn't understand Lei Mingkai's meaning, but after thinking for a while, she felt that she understood a bit, but she couldn't tell why.
Lei Mingkai smiled faintly when he looked at Veretta's good-looking, slender eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Veretta, it's almost there. Take the team and send a message back to the Governor. Just say that the task is complete."
"Yes!"
The first task of the q department was completed very well.
Although the encounter with the Black Knights led by Zero was as expected, the results were indeed enough to submit to Cornelia a satisfactory answer.
The next day.
Cornelia, who had just arrived at the political affairs hall, was stopped by a group of nobles.The reason, you don't need to know it.
Especially when Cornelia saw the kind-faced, kind-looking middle-aged man standing in front of the nobleman, she had already guessed what these people came from.
"Count Augustus, why did you lead someone to stop the governor's way!!" Captain Gilbert stepped forward, stopped in front of Cornelia, and yelled.
But the next moment, Cornelia raised her hand and patted Gilbert on the shoulder, staring at Earl Augustus and said, "Earl, if there is something to do, you can follow me back to the office to discuss it. The abrupt behavior is really against the noble demeanor of the Britanian Empire."
Cornelia's words immediately caused the many nobles who followed the Count Augustus to block the door looking at each other, subconsciously stepping back a few steps, and allowing the way.
As the leader, Augustus remained unchanged, still maintaining the attitude of the good old man, turned sideways slightly, and let the way open.
"The Governor is right. I was the one who made it abrupt!"
A skirmish was resolved.
But there are still greater conflicts stepping into the red line that is about to break out.
"Let's talk! Earl, and everyone, why are you here today?"
After returning to the office, Cornelia raised his hand to let all the entourages except Gilbert and Adjutant Dalton leave the office.Then, sitting in his seat, waiting calmly for Count Augustus to speak.
"Governor. May I ask whether department q was organized by the governor himself?" Augustus did not speak, but a little noble standing in the crowd came out more and more, saluted Cornelia and asked.
"Yes. I ordered it. Is there a problem?"
Cornelia's answer was very simple.
Cornelia's simply let the nobles lose their minds for a while.In the communication routines between these nobles, everything is accompanied by wrangling.
Even the late third prince Clovis communicated with their nobles.
But Cornelia was so straightforward and frankly admitted that she ordered the formation of department q.
"So, I don't know what the function of the q department is?" Another middle-aged man wearing a white noble costume and a series of medals hanging on his left chest asked Cornelia with an arrogant expression.
As soon as he saw this person, Cornelia recognized him immediately, no, it should be the family origin behind this person.
It is the Turinus family with remarkable achievements and prestige.But the middle-aged man in front of him is the most useless third son in the family, Pontulas K. Turinus.
As a descendant of a famous family with outstanding military exploits, he not only failed to fight against the enemy, but indulged in the colorful world, wearing the medals of his father's hard work with blood and sweat all day.
It was like a clown.
Thinking of this, Cornelia could not help but snorted coldly, and said coldly.
"Viscount Ponduras. The current responsibility of the q department is to openly rebel against the Black Knights of the Empire during the recent hostage kidnapping incident. Is there a problem?"
"Black Knights?!"
As soon as Cornelia spoke, it caused many nobles to discuss.
You know, during this period of time, the existence of the Black Knights made the nobles feel a fear they had never experienced before.
No matter how you set up a strict defense, you will be captured by the mysterious black knights, and will leave many corpses punished in the name of justice.
Amidst the discussion, Count Augustus slowly asked, "Governor. Is it worth the effort?"
"Oh?"
The corner of Cornelia’s mouth turned slightly, and he said calmly, “Whether it is worth it or not, it’s not me alone. According to reports gathered after multiple attacks, the Black Knights’ goal is clear and stable.”
Cornelia opened the desk drawer, took out a document from it, placed it on the desk, and said word by word, "This is the first task completed by the q department last night. I don't know if you are interested. Check it out?"
"This···"
At the mention of last night, many nobles turned their eyes to Augustus.Whether in Cornelia, Augustus, or even themselves, they all know that they are just supporting roles.
The only protagonists today are Cornelia and Count Augustus.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know what you mean?" Count Augustus slowly said, "The private property owned by the nobles of the Empire should be protected by the laws of the Empire. Why did the q department directly under the Governor dared to break into the private property of the nobles and trample on them wantonly Empire Law!!!"
"Imperial Law?"
When he heard this word, Cornelia smiled without anger.
"The earl is really joking! How could a warehouse with a large number of illegal drugs be protected by the imperial law! I don't know, can Earl Augustus explain to me which one of the imperial laws and which section of the law states? Prohibited drugs will be protected by imperial laws!!"
Cornelia quickly became cold and stern, causing many nobles to take a step back subconsciously. Until just now, these nobles realized that Cornelia Li Britania, the imperial princess galloping on the battlefield, was not As they imagined, they stayed behind and boarded the legendary weak woman with the results obtained by the knights of the Guards.
And Count Augustus also gradually lost his benevolent face, and became increasingly hideous.
However, just as he was about to explode, he suddenly calmed down.
"The governor is right. It was my lax discipline that let my subordinates take advantage of the loopholes and almost caused a catastrophe. How the governor punishes me, Augustus J. Ortus has no complaints.
Count Augustus' performance made Cornelia look murderous, but he was helpless.
Although Lei Mingkai led the q department to seize a large number of illegal drugs, it could not be the key evidence to bring down these blood-sucking nobles who were entrenched in the 11th district.
"Yeah. Thank you very much for the insightful righteousness of Count Augustus. That's it for today! To deal with the result, I will send someone to the house of Count Augustus."
"Yes! How offended today! Please forgive the Governor! From now on, please also the Governor to work hand in hand with us for the stability and prosperity of District 11!"
After a confrontation, both sides made concessions.
Seeing Count Augustus leading many nobles out of the political affairs hall, Cornelia's complexion became colder and colder.
If you rush to hand over Area 11 to Euphemia now, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.
Cornelia knows the character of her sister Euphemia very well.But she knew that Euphemia was difficult to deal with these nobles who were already hob meat.
"Dalton. Praise department q in the name of the Governor, and hope they will continue their efforts! In addition, if the mission requires it, you can request cooperation with the Guards!"
Adjutant Dalton bowed slightly and responded, "Yes! Your Highness!"
The praise from the Governor's Mansion soon spread to Lei Mingkai and others.
"Wow! It seems that the Governor-General values you very much! K!"
Looking at the prizes presented in the name of the Governor's Mansion, Lloyd looked at the calm Lei Mingkai in surprise and said.
Lei Mingkai walked to the table, raised his hand to pick up the champagne placed in the ice water, shook it, and smiled, "This is not a prize. Lloyd. This is a reminder."
"Hushing Talisman?" Cecil blinked, and asked with some confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Lei Mingkai chuckled, unscrewed the cork of the champagne, poured wine into the glass, and looked at Veretta.
"Veretta, come on."
"Yes."
After Veretta nodded, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "This morning, Count Augustus led many nobles to block Governor Cornelia and his party at the entrance of the political affairs hall. Then, In the Governor’s Office, Governor Cornelia had a skirmish with Count Augustus. As a result, Count Augustus compromised and these prizes."
"Oh! That said, this is really a reminder! K! It seems that your new job is not a good thing!" The corner of Lloyd's mouth, who understood it, gradually put a playful smile.
He and Cecil knew about Lei Mingkai's past and why Gao Long died in battle.
Now the development of this matter has inadvertently moved in a certain direction.
"Not a good thing? That's not necessarily. For me, it's a very good job!"
After Lei Mingkai toasted and drank the wine, he said every word.
