Chapter 280 confrontation
Chapter 280 Confrontation
But no matter what, Sharaman, who was the consul at the time, played very beautifully, not only defeating the other party's excuses, but also giving him a certain shock.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved. Of course, the consul Sharaman was a book written by the people-friendly officials, saying that he had violated the imperial decree and was executed first and then reported illegally. At that time, the title of consul of Sakudeng was revoked, but he was then promoted from viscount to count, which was hereditary.
From this point we can see the attitude of the senior leaders of the empire.
Now, the retired old Count suddenly came to Jerusalem, and it was obvious that it was for Baron Reims, which made people speculate.
The originally calm city of Jerusalem City once again showed a tense atmosphere.
"Sir, you come in person. I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you, I don't know..."
"Consul Sara, you did a good thing." In the office hall, the old Tago Count with gray hair sneered. Although he had not served as a government official for many years, he was full of aura of being arrogant and powerful even when he stood here, which made Consul Sara feel like he couldn't breathe.
This is not an illusion, but the momentum that Earl Sharaman developed when confronted the powerful Wind Kingdom on the border of the empire, a kind of shrewd and spicy temperament of veterans on the battlefield. The Ebony City in the northern border of the empire is actually a semi-militarized structure, and all those who can hold the position of consul there are all political and military to capture it, far less comfortable than cities like those in the interior of the empire.
"Sir, what are you referring to?" Sarah looked nervous and trepidated on the surface, but her thoughts quickly turned into her mind: Even the mission sent by the governor had only the responsibility of inspection but no power to intervene. He was not right in his tone, what did he master?
"Hmph, don't be careless. When I was the consul, you didn't know where to feed yourself." Sharaman touched his beard, and his serious face suddenly relaxed. He laughed and patted the blue and white consul Sara on his face and said, "Just kidding, I believe that I won't be surprised with the consul Sara's mind."
It seems true or false, and it makes people have no place to make a comeback. What else can I say?
Sarah could only laugh dryly, feeling that the old count had a bad intention, and she felt that she was old and wanted to do something about the power of the empire.
"How long will Count Saraman be in Jerusalam this time?" This is a little temptation from Sara. It is not convenient to ask the other party directly about his purpose. If he hinted at the time, he could see some things.
"It depends on whether things are going smoothly. If it is fast, how many days will it take or not, it will take a long time." Earl Saraman looked at Sara meaningfully: "I have sent someone to inform the temple and the families in the city, the guild presidents, let's have a meeting in the city hall later."
Town Hall meeting?
Sara's eyelids twitched. Sara also felt that Arthur's wrist was an art of power struggle, but his own stay was also a problem, but he believed that the temple would find a way, and he was paying attention to the news. After all, staying in Jerusalem was a great help to the temple, but the sudden arrival of Count Saraman broke the entire plan.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you." Saraman narrowed his yellow pupils, raised the corners of his mouth, showing an unpredictable smile.
"This time, in addition to the appointment of the Governor General's Mission, I also have the appointment letter of the Grand Consul, and ordered me to inspect all places for the Empire's Wind-Sight Envoy."
Watch the wind!
Even Sara's concentration and scheming were also very bad for a moment.
Guanfeng Envoy, in the past century, there were only two people in the empire, all of whom were iron-fisted figures who influenced the direction of the empire! Guanfeng Envoy itself did not have much power, but was a temporary appointment that was higher than Observing the Municipal Envoy. However, there were two most deadly places - Guanfeng Envoy, one was to have special correspondence directly reported to the Grand Consul, and the other was to have the power to "take action first and report" personnel for the municipal consul.
In other words, if he doesn't like Sarah, he can remove Sarah, the consul. Of course, this revocation is also temporary. He has to report to the Imperial Consul afterwards and finally decide.
However, even if you can restore your post afterwards, no one can stand it if you get this done by him at a critical moment. Moreover, it is possible that the consul would sell his face and withdraw, and there would be no place to cry at that time.
Of course, people who can become the Fengguanzhe are not ordinary people, and such people will not abuse their power. However, it is terrible to have this kind of deterrence alone.
What does it mean? It means that the great consul attaches great importance to Jerusalem, and it means that the consul is extremely sensitive to the temple.
If... he wanted to do something to himself, the temple could not be used even if it was energetic, and Sarah suddenly felt that her breathing was a little rapid.
While Sarah was thinking about her thoughts, Sarahman was also observing him quietly, and a shrewd cold light flashed from time to time in her yellow tiger eyes.
The town hall meeting was held again urgently, but this is not surprising. After all, according to the customary practice, the town halls in each city will be held from time to time every month to discuss some major resolutions, division of interests, emergency orders from senior officials of the empire, or personnel appointments and removals, etc.
But there are fewer emergency meetings, after all, they are all big figures in the city. This time it is obviously more special. When the presidents of the guilds of Jerusalem and family representatives and the priests of the temple walked into the congress hall, they saw that the consul Sara sitting in the upper seat today was no longer the consul Sara, but an old Tago who had never seen before.
A head of gray hair and a pair of eyes that shine with deep light are like seeing the secrets in people's hearts at a glance.
He sat in the first position, with a calm and extraordinary momentum.
The consul Sara respectfully stayed on the old man's left hand.
"This is……"
Some people with sensitive minds vaguely guessed something, while more people looked confused. Only a few people, including the temple and the consul, knew about the arrival of the Governor's mission. Even if they knew, they could not guess who had the power to drive the consul aside and sat in the first place in a big way.
Although the city hall meetings are loose, they are not allowed to sit randomly. Each person's seat represents the corresponding status and power.
Student Zou whispered with Thomas. As soon as he entered the convention hall, he felt that the atmosphere today was very different, especially the old man sitting in the first place, who had been staring at him since he entered the door.
"That's..." Thomas was slightly shocked: "That's Earl Sharaman. I've seen him once in the imperial capital. Why did he come?"
count?
Zou Liang was thinking about the weight of the word "C". If it was just a title, it would not pose too much threat to him. However, the Governor could send this person down, probably because the visitor was not good.
In the hall of the government affairs, various factions or small groups inevitably whispered, and were full of speculations about the unknown situation.
Stanford's eyes revealed a revived expectation, and the Governor was his last hope.
"Silent."
At the signing of Count Saraman, the consul Sara had to stand up and speak: "Today's meeting is hosted by the Emperor's capital, Count Saraman presided over. Please keep etiquette and respect." As he said, he explained the background of Sharaman's past deeds in a few simple words.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and then a buzzing sound suddenly broke out. So many forces and families present, and many who had heard of Sharaman's deeds were suddenly greatly impacted.
The sudden appearance of heroic figures that have been dormant for more than ten years has been speculated, not to mention that in this sensitive period, the power of observing the wind suddenly intervened in the Jerusalem pattern that had finally calmed down, and people with the will must not let more speculations.
However, this out-of-control discussion did not last long, and it gradually subsided after a few breaths. Recognizing the personal identity of the leader, everyone became much more respectful and serious. Many people still admired Sharaman back then. For example, Sam Anton of the Engraving Master Guild had the impulse to go to the border of the empire to do a big fight. Of course, this wish failed to take shape.
"Okay, everyone knows me." Earl Sharaman glanced at everyone present with a smile.
"This time I received the appointment from the imperial capital and the governor, which really made me panic, but as long as I agree, I will take it on my shoulders."
His words turned, and his sharp eyes suddenly fell on Arthur.
"So, now the first question of this meeting - Priest Arthur, I received a complaint that you insulted and beat Baron Lance, is that true?"
A random question was made, but the tone was full of murderous aura. The temperature of the entire congress hall fell to freezing point in an instant, and the whizzing cold wind blew past everyone's necks.
Cold! Still cold!!
Everyone remembered in a daze that the old man in front of him was the ruthless man who cut down five hundred slave warriors with his order and piled up his heads into Jingguan. That was so decisive!
Priest Arthur is probably going to be in trouble.
Countless speculation and suspicious eyes conveyed the message back and forth and winked. Those who chose to support Arthur's side, such as Randy's family, were secretly anxious.
If you choose neutral guild presidents such as Sam Anton, you will be at ease. Any kind of battle is not a bad thing for them.
As for Renault and Stanford from the Archer Guild, they almost cheered in their hearts. During this period, they felt like they were feeling pins and pins and pins and heads, thinking that the end of the day was coming. Now, the Governor's killer move has come out, and Lance is just a front station.
The hall of the government affairs was silent so much that it was heard. Arthur slowly stood up in the cold eyes of the newcomer to watch the wind.
It seems that today's events cannot be passed peacefully, so I have to think of a way. No one expected that the governor was cruel enough to send such a person.
Beside Arthur, Thomas' brow moved slightly, his eyes swept over his beloved disciple, and then threw it on Earl Sharaman opposite the long conference table.
The atmosphere is solemn and subtle.
Everyone was waiting to see how this young priest of Jerusalam passed the level of observation of the wind.
If he could withstand it, of course he would be more optimistic about his future, and many people would follow Arthur wholeheartedly. If not... the situation that Yelusamo finally created would collapse completely.
Chapter completed!
