Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 326 The Punishment of Marquis Hanxue and Fan Yun

Barak Principality, Barak City, Marquis Mansion.

"Okay, I know about this matter, I will report to King Kundera later, let's stop here."

Wearing a blood-colored robe, Hou Ye held a wine glass in his hand, put it to his nose, smelled the fragrance of the wine in it, stared at the swaying red wine with blood-colored eyes, and then looked at the The man kneeling in front of him said softly.

"Yes!"

After getting the response from Lord Hou, the man stood up from the ground, but his face was still a little hesitant, and he didn't leave immediately after reporting the affairs, but stood where he seemed to have something to say.

And Hou Ye, who was tasting tea, also noticed the hesitation of the city lord of Laolis City, frowned, a bit of displeasure was drawn on his face as white as paper, and he put down the wine cup in his hand. The cold air began to permeate his whole body:
"Why are you still here after the report? Are you waiting for me to keep you and change to the city lord of Lawless City?"

"No, no, no..." The lord of Laolisi quickly waved his hands and shook his head. Everyone knows that this cold-blooded prince who holds the power of the army has a weird temper, but he has won the trust of King Kundera. Many powers in the principality are It was handed over to him, and he was not someone who could be offended by a mere city lord like him.

But if he got his favor, then his future might be more than just a "little" city lord...

"Then why don't you leave?" Master Hou waved his blood-colored sleeves, his voice cold.

Gritting his teeth, the lord of Laolisi City made up his mind, clasped his fists in both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Hou, I just feel that something is wrong with this matter. The cardinal of Wuhundian left, and the county magistrate of Crow County was stabbed to death. The murderer has not yet been caught. Perhaps this murder is Wuhundian What we did. If we seize a little and ruthlessly bite the Spirit Hall to interfere in the Principality's internal affairs, we are in the righteousness, and maybe we can make the Spirit Hall give up some of the benefits, which is a great thing for the Principality!"

The red pupils casually glanced at the man kneeling on the ground again, Lord Hou picked up the wine cup on the table and shook the jade liquid in it: "You said that Wuhundian did it, do you have evidence? ?”

The Lord of Lawless City shook his head: "There is no specific evidence yet, but according to the situation and personnel strength of Crow County at that time, only those people from the Wuhun Temple are strong enough to kill the county magistrate and then retreat. And The few people captured by Wuhundian that day were the members who worked closely with the county government, so maybe it was because of their cooperation that they led to their deaths."

Stretching out a finger and knocking on the table, Hou Ye fixed his red eyes on the man half kneeling on the ground: "I said there is evidence?"

"……No……"

One finger knocked on the report handed in by the lord of Laolisi City on the table, and the voice of Lord Hou was unhurried:

"Your report said that the members of Wuhundian made mistakes. The cardinal came to punish the violators of Wuhundian. After dealing with these matters, he left immediately the next morning, and he left Avenue, the Guizhou chiefs in Crow County have all seen it, and they arrived in Lawles City at the same time."

"And the county magistrate was stabbed to death around noon. The murderer had no intention of concealing his whereabouts. From arriving in Crow County to killing people, to rummaging through the account books and leaving, everything was seen by the people on the street. He arrived in Crow County from the other end of the avenue that the Wuhundian team left."

"Are you trying to say that those people from Wuhundian came back after leaving, and then deliberately entered Crowe County from the opposite intersection to kill people, and then left in a big way?"

Lord of Lawless City: "...this..."

"I think so too, but what about the evidence?" Master Hou's voice was cold and reckless.

"That is the Cardinal Secretary of the Wuhun Palace. Even if he wants to take advantage of this matter to bite off a piece of meat from him, he must have evidence. Otherwise, he can call us a false accusation, bite us back, and then bite off the Duke's body." Big piece of meat. And judging from the current relationship between the royal family and Wuhundian, without enough evidence and interests, not only will the royal family not help us, but they even hope that something will happen to the dukedom, so that they can take back the power here."

"This……"

"So in the absence of conclusive evidence, let's stop here. It's not worth letting the Principality take such a big risk just for a humble county magistrate."

The blood-clothed Lord Hou made a conclusion on this matter.

"... I understand..." Sighing silently, the city lord of Lawless City realized what he couldn't do, stood up and saluted before preparing to leave.

"By the way, Lex, I have a piece of advice for you."

Just as the Lord of Lawless City was about to leave, the cold blooded Marquis' voice came from behind him again.

Quickly turning around and cupping his hands, Lex bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your reminder."

"I can see your devotion to the Principality, and you also hope that the Principality can gain more benefits, but you still need to take a few steps back when facing the Hall of Spirits in the future."

"The empire and the Wuhundian have a faint tendency to form an alliance. In the future, the Wuhundian's voice in Tiandou will only increase. The royal family may use the Wuhundian's knife to slaughter us. Principality. So in the future, we must be more cautious and back down, and don't let the royal family and Wuhun Palace of Tiandou City grasp the handle, understand?"

"I understand!" Lex responded.

"Very well, back off."

"Yes!"

After Lex exited the Marquis's mansion, the cold-blooded Marquis in a blood-colored robe shook the wine cup in his hand, turned around and walked back to the backyard of his mansion, and asked his servants to send the virgin who had been prepared a long time ago to the dormitory. Then entered the bathroom to clean.

"Perhaps... the invisible alliance with several other duchies should be put on the agenda..."

There was still warm water flowing across his icy cold skin, Han Xuehou muttered to himself.

……

At the same time, in the branch hall of the Wuhun Hall in Laolisi City, Fan Yun was wearing a platinum robe and holding a book of nerves standing under the statue, looking down at the bishop and many deacons below with lowered eyelids:

"I am the Cardinal Archbishop of the Wuhundian, and I am in charge of supervision and punishment. I hereby announce the punishment for the branch of the Wuhundian, Laolisi City."

"Bishop Farad has seriously neglected his duties. He failed to discover the problems in Crow County and Nalai County in time, and made the situation worse. He violated the discipline of Wuhun Palace and seriously damaged the reputation of Wuhun Palace among the people. Hereby, Farad is removed. For the post of bishop, he will be demoted to vicar bishop, and his salary will be suspended for one year, and the post of bishop will be temporarily replaced by Vicar Goodman, who will be promoted to the official bishop based on future performance."

"Deacons Varian, Claude, Suleijan, and Pamir have neglected their duties, neglected their duties..."

"The stolen money handed over by the counties will be exchanged for food and distributed to the churches in the counties, and the new priests will be asked to set up porridge shops in each village and county to support the people until all the stolen money is used up."

"Everyone present, do you have any objections to the punishment measures of the cardinal?"

"Follow the cardinal's arrangement!"
