Chapter 391 The Special Female Swordsman
Corruption and abuse of power are probably inevitable problems for any organization.
The Shuangxiujiao established by Li Yu is of course no exception. Although his organization is still very young, it has already begun to show signs of this. Li Yu has received some related reports during this period.
So it's about time the Inquisition took the stage.
Li Yu's idea is that whenever a report is received from now on, the tribunal will send two referees, one bright and one dark, to investigate.
Among them, the referees in the dark are selected by lottery, which can minimize any collusion with the investigation target beforehand. In addition to investigating the case, they are also responsible for supervising the referees in the open.
If there is too much discrepancy between the investigation reports of both parties, the tribunal will initiate a second round of follow-up investigation.
Li Yu hopes that through this method, combined with other means, corruption, abuse of power, and violations of precepts can be controlled at a low level in Shuangxiujiao.
As for the complete elimination of Li Yu, I have never thought about it. This is a worldwide problem.
Jin Tong has outstanding martial arts skills, but his personality is unsociable. At the same time, he has a cold heart. He has little contact with other people in the territory, and he has no relatives. He is a perfect candidate to serve as a referee.
If he does well enough in the future, Li Yu can let him manage the referee's office regardless of past suspicions. Of course, this is all a thing for another time. The position of chief referee is still vacant for the time being.
Li Yu then ordered people to remove the shackles from Jin Tong's hands, allowing him to regain his freedom.
However, Li Yu also warned Jin Tong that he may have the urge to relapse in the future, and he needs to rely on his own willpower to resist this temptation. This will be a long and endless war.
After dealing with Jin Tong's matter, Li Yu looked at Ruby on the side.
Although they didn't get along for long, Ruby left a deep impression on Li Yu. She was a very smart girl, and she also had a good relationship with Clara.
So Li Yu decided to ask Ruby for her own opinion first.
"You have worked hard during this period. It seems that I haven't thanked you yet. Mary said that you have been taking care of her since she was captured by Herodotus. So, I will give you thirty gold lions as a thank you. ”
"No, no, Mary is taking care of me too. We take care of each other. If it weren't for Mary, I would have died a long time ago." Ruby waved her hands quickly, "I can't ask for your money."
"This money not only includes the gratitude of Mary and me, but also your reward for taking care of Jintong these days. You can accept it with confidence. Also, have you thought about what you plan to do next?"
Ruby bit her lip, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "I don't know, I don't know anything, I can only serve people."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Li Yu, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.
However, what made her a little disappointed was that although Li Yu was also looking at her, he looked thoughtful at this moment.
"Serving people... How about I hand over the management of the time traveler apartment to you? Although there is only one servant Niu Xiangui there now, there should be many more people living in in the future."
Ruby knew that it was not good to be too eager about this kind of thing, but if she didn't take the initiative, she would probably have to manage that time traveler apartment.
"If it's possible... I, I want to stay and serve you." Ruby seemed to muster up a lot of courage before she said these words.
After saying that, he buried his head on his chest again, his ears turning red with embarrassment.
But the answer that greeted her was still an ambiguous "oh".
Then Li Yu asked, "Why do you want to follow me?"
"Because I heard that Mary was serving you before, but now she is busy teaching the common language of the continent to those servants. I'm worried that she won't be busy, and I'm also worried that you don't have enough manpower around you."< br>
"No, Ruby, I'm asking you what you really think." Li Yu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, just say whatever you think in your heart."
"But...but that's what I think." Ruby said timidly.
"Then let me tell you straight, you won't get what you want by my side." Li Yu said.
"What do I want? I... don't quite understand."
"The shortcut to chasing power is to get close to the person at the apex of power. This is universal in any universe plane."
Ruby's color changed slightly when she heard this.
"I heard Mary talk about you and I know that you had a very miserable childhood."
"Prophet Merlin, did you reject me because you thought I was too contemptuous?" Ruby smiled sadly, "Before coming here, I did serve many men, some of whom were older than my grandfather, and each of them had different hobbies. Not the same..."
"I'm not condemning you. Everyone's situation is different. You just did what you could do and tried to survive. It is common for the weak to rely on the strong and seek asylum from the strong.
"But I don't think you are weak. You seem to be very good at pretending and lying."
Ruby hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"This is my weapon, like a sharp knife in the hands of men."
"A special female swordsman... I know where to put you." Li Yu said, touching his chin.
"Which man do you want me to serve?"
"No, she is a woman, and the most powerful woman in Greenfield."
"You are talking about Sir Ilea." Ruby was a little surprised. "Do you want me to get close to her and monitor her for the holiday?"
"Ilea is nothing to spy on. She is a very simple and straightforward person, with all her emotions and sorrows written on her face." Li Yu paused, "Did you know that the sword in the hands of a swordsman can not only kill people, but also provide Protection.”
"You need me to protect her?"
"The Arias family is now strong. Knights Alfred and Thomas are both reliable. I'm not too worried about threats from the outside, but internally... Ilea has always been a carefree character, and she does live in the shadows. She can't notice the corners."
"It just so happens that Herodotus has returned recently and formed the Blood Moon Society. Judging from the two tragedies that happened in Scaled City and Red Tower City, his next actions will probably become more and more radical and less and less cruel. Bottom line, I also need to make some preparations.”
Ruby couldn't help but tremble when she heard a familiar name.
"I have seen many... bad people before, but Herodotus is different. That guy is a madman, a complete madman."
"Well, I heard from Mary that Herodotus himself also drank the same things as Golden Eyes and others."
"I will go to Teacup Castle." Ruby nodded, looking at Li Yu with burning eyes, "Become the female lord's best friend and adviser, and protect her, but I also hope you can remember my heart and my loyalty. Forever yours, the supreme Saturday!" (End of Chapter)
