Chapter 1029 Chapter 260. Master Olmei is here, and there will be peace!
As one of the top officers of the city guard, Sheriff Milburn's arrest caused as much commotion as Annan's arrest of Barr Montreal.
After all, the Sheriff is the real official with real power. He and the other two Sheriffs jointly govern thousands of city guards. Moreover, Sheriff Milburn has a lot of experience and is a member of the parliamentary reserve.
The nobles in the city thought that Annan, who was unable to be promoted as president of the court, would disappear for a while... but it turned out that after disappearing, he made a big news.
Even such a big shot was arrested by Master Olme... Will he not let go of even the congressmen next?
Already some frightened nobles called Master Olme the "Hound of the Kingdom", which sounded like some kind of honor, but in fact it was a mockery of him being the dog of the kingdom.
Annan doesn't care. Anyway, he gets the benefits himself and the royal family takes the responsibility for the bad things. They were scolding Young Master Olme for what he had to do with Annan?
As soon as Sheriff Milburn was sent to the dungeon, Annan’s former immediate boss, Sheriff Hener, sent someone to intercede on his behalf.
On the surface, the three sheriffs are not related to each other and there is a slight contradiction. In fact, they are like a secret alliance... After all, they have the same status and the same methods of making money. Who doesn't know whose butt is dirty?
Facing his old commander, who was still the military minister Reinado, Annan's attitude was very tactful: "He colluded with the Blade of Freedom, which is a restricted area of the kingdom."
Who doesn't know that the king in the palace hates Free City the most? Sheriff Herner settled for the next best thing: If you really can't plead...then find another way so that Sheriff Milburn can never get out of the dungeon again...
Annan gasped: "Hiss... you More ruthless than me..."
"There is no way, Milburn knows too much. If he is left alive, he will probably bite us all out."
I learned that there is such a thing. Good thing Annan interrogated Sheriff Milburn overnight and made him spit out everything he knew.
Annan is actually not a person who opposes punishment. He believed in tooth for tooth and eye for eye. The pain inflicted on the wicked does not excite sympathy.
"All the harm you have done to the Blade of Freedom will be repaid on you!" When Annan came to see Sheriff Milburn, he issued a vicious curse that made outsiders blush and made Annan want to laugh.
"That's really scary."
Annan said expressionlessly: "Are you going to carry it for them, or do you want to pull them into the water?"
Being fixed on the torture device Sheriff Milburn gasped heavily and drooled: "Is there any difference? My family and I are finished!"
"You are wrong. Remember Viscount Lean? He is innocent. My family was let go”
Sheriff Milburn was silent for a long time: "How do you prove it?"
The Achilles' heel of every nobleman is his family.
It’s not that they care about family ties, but that the family is their continuation.
"There's no way to prove it." Annan spread his hands, "Either you choose to be a 'good guy' and bite the bullet and not bite out those people. In the end, only you will die yourself, and the family outside will be cannibalized. Or bite out all the nobles who are standing by, and I promise to send your family out of the royal city."
"That means sending them to death? Where is the safe place in the kingdom..." Sheriff Milburn is here. Thinking means that he is hesitating.
"How about Middle-earth? There are no demons, no ratmen, and no minions of the kingdom."
Annan has seen Sheriff Milburn's family, they are not bad looking... No, they are relatively clean. .
Although their luxurious life was all obtained by Sheriff Milburn with the dirty money he earned.
Sheriff Milburn did not speak, Annan smiled and said to the execution guard:
"Let our Lord Sheriff rest for ten minutes."
He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief for a while. Sweat flowed into the wounds that were ripped apart by the whip, and the burning pain made him feel clearer.
Sheriff Milburn weighed it up and found that compared to those nobles, Mr. Olme really had the best reputation - at least he would kill you if he said he would.
He sighed. How could it become like this?
The day before, I was still enjoying the privileges brought by my status, attending noble banquets, and being the most powerful candidate for parliament... but ended up being stained by the blade of freedom, and the entire family fell apart?
How could there be such a reckless bastard! ?
Ten minutes were both long and short. When Annan came back, Sheriff Milburn said in a hoarse voice: "Some of them are great people. Do you dare to mess with them?"
"Barr, you Do you know?" Annan repeated this sentence.
He arrested people from the royal family, but the king in the palace was indifferent. Doesn’t this mean anything?
Sheriff Milburn finally gave up his tough words and lowered his head: "If I recruit them... can you let me go?"
"Sorry, this is the only thing that cannot be changed."
Annan has a copy of Sheriff Millburn's incriminating evidence. The one on top is: the van containing the trafficked women was captured by the city guard. It was discovered that Sheriff Milburn had deliberately banned the wagons from entering the city because it was a caravan belonging to a political enemy. By the time his political opponents bribed the city guards and entered through other city gates, the thirty-four women in the truck had frozen into ice sculptures.
Sin flows from every pore and blood of the nobles.
Annan can turn a blind eye to his family, but as for himself...
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Annan's persistence made Milburn believe him: "Give me a pen and paper."
......
Ten minutes later, Annan brought several sheets full of names. The parchment walked out of the dungeon and got on the carriage back to the official residence of the Minister of War.
Many pairs of eyes were watching Annan's every move. They didn't know how much Milburn had said, and they didn't have the courage to break into the heavily guarded Purification Court. They could only protect themselves in their own way.
For example, rumors began to spread underground about the reward for Olmei in the new royal capital.
"They are anxious."
"After all, what you have in your hand can easily judge them." Renaldo said, suggesting that Annan give him the list and let him handle it.
It was too risky for Annan to hold it. If a crazy noble attacks him on the street by any means...even if nothing happens, it will be enough to scare the people of Free City in the city.
"It doesn't matter, whoever dares to come, I will take the list and take revenge."
"Why don't they speak up?"
Annan waved the list: "Whoever attacks me, I will settle the account with the people on the list."
This strange calm lasted for a day. On the morning of the third day, Annan was attacked on the way to the Purification Court.
The first victim also appeared because of this, but the guy was aggrieved and said it was not him, so Annan went to find the next one...
The nobles finally couldn't stand it anymore and jointly went to the palace. They knew that Annan was favored, so they did not say anything to slander or criticize him. Instead, they tried every word of praise to praise Annan, describing him as the successor to the chairman of parliament, the hope of the kingdom, and the arrival of Young Master Olme. , there will be peace.
Just to get Master Olmei to transfer out of the new royal capital and go to the south to harm the Blade of Freedom.
