1591 Chapter 1592: Unscrupulous
Hathaway knew that the province of Cleveland must not be in chaos now. Once it becomes chaotic, it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire empire's officialdom, and may even affect the deployment of the dragon army's troops.
That is a national war, and there is no room for loss.
But these Wellington officials in front of them completely forgot how they were overthrown by the people, and even got so much donations from the people. One can imagine how much money and food they have withheld from the Ministry of Finance! Now it is disregarding the overall situation of the national war and the life and death of the people!
Your Majesty is right, the old nobles are all empire moths.
If possible, Hathaway would like to cut them all to pieces!
However, the real problem is that, being constrained by this group of officials who are corrupt and perverting the law, he can't even do the job that Aslan asked him to do. If it affects the national war, she will become a sinner of the empire!
"Okay, okay! Welling cloned officials, this team leader has seen it!"
Hathaway's heart was bleeding. She had vowed firmly that she was going to do something to pave the way for her future entry into the palace. If she was a little careless in this matter, it might become an indelible stain for the rest of her life.
"It's His Majesty's mission to gather all the strength of Weilin Cloning into the disaster relief. If the team leader fails to complete it, he will fail His Majesty and the people, and he will commit suicide and apologize. But how can you stay out of it? Mayor Lin Klonn killed the front and back logistics director, as long as the team leader reports this to the Fifth Integrity Picket, aren’t you afraid of the investigation of the Fifth Integrity Picket?”
Alak seemed to have expected that Hathaway would move out of the Fifth Integrity Picket to scare them, but now he didn't show any fear at all, instead he sneered:
"The Fifth Integrity Prosecutor's Bureau is newly established, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so we can't take all the officials of the Wellinglon Town Hall and send them to prison, right?
"If there is no us, who will be in charge of Welin Cloning's official duties? Disaster relief matters are urgent. If the city hall is empty at this time, I am afraid that the people in the disaster area will die more."
Erak is so confident, Hathaway's grief and anger cannot be added.
"The Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau can't deal with the civil servants of the entire city hall, can't it also behead all the civil servants in your logistics department? Let's make a warning to others!"
Erak's eyes changed, obviously lacking in confidence, but he quickly thought of something, squinting at Hathaway, and said in a strange way:
"Leader Hathaway, don't forget that the dragon invasion is imminent, and the casualties caused by the earthquake are still increasing! The main force of the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau is in Cleveland, and there is no spare power to support here. I don't know if you still have confidence , Dispose of the logistics department from top to bottom?"
"what do you mean?!"
Hathaway couldn't bear it anymore, cast the mage's hand, grabbed Erak by the neck, and lifted him in mid-air. :
"You're threatening, believe it or not, I'll kill you for the felony crime of corruption, and punish you all over the house! The most I can do is flee back to the imperial capital in despair. Believe it or not, I'll be fine when I go back!"
This is Hathaway's last threat. These old nobles are more willing to sacrifice their lives than anyone else. As long as they dare to fight, they dare not gamble with their wealth and lives.
Erak didn't struggle, a look of panic flashed across his face, and then he calmed down.
As long as he suppresses this matter, others will try their best to protect him. Once he reveals the matter, the entire city hall will be ruined.
Erak looked at Hathaway contemptuously: "Captain Hathaway, your current behavior will only make people think that you are venting your anger and finding a scapegoat, which will not work at all."
The most powerful thing about nobles is not how large their territory is, nor how many private troops they have. The real trouble is the tangled and dense network of relationships.
The Elak family may not have mentor-level masters. In his network, it is impossible to guarantee that no in-laws family has mentor-level masters. As long as there are mentor-level masters in charge, the special investigation team must think carefully before making a move.
If the old nobles in the city hall twist their forces together, even the special investigation team will not get any benefits.
After all, the special investigation team didn't have that many people this time. There wasn't a single expert at the mentor level, and there were only four instructor-level experts including Hathaway.
In the absence of foreign mentor-level masters, it is enough to suppress the entire Weinclone.
Only if there are more than six mentor-level masters in Welin Cloning, the special investigation team can be suppressed.
Even if Hathaway wanted to kill Alak, it would not be an easy matter.
Erak said he didn't dare, but his rebellious expression showed that his meaning could not be more obvious.
Hathaway also understands that unless she has the power to deal with them with lightning force, the people in the city hall will not dare to disobey them, so that the disaster relief can be guaranteed smoothly.
Even though Hathaway wanted to kill Alak with ten thousand hearts, she could only let him go at this moment.
Her body swayed, and she took two steps back uncontrollably. Hathaway, who had exhausted most of her energy, couldn't help feeling sad.
Combining all previous experiences, she now finally understands why the Kingdom of Cleveland, which was clearly at the pinnacle of prosperity, became so vulnerable after the rise of Aslan.
The old aristocrats were greedy, treated the people like ants, and their hearts were corrupt. Facing a powerful army that was deeply loved by the people, what did the old aristocrats do to resist? The destruction of the old kingdom was already doomed. .
Now the new bureaucrats like Erak still continue the traditional nature of the old nobles. They have no heart for family and country, no people, and only think about their own power and money. empire.
If there were no powerful foreign enemies to invade, the empire might last for a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, just like the Kingdom of Cleveland back then.
No wonder His Majesty has devoted himself to developing people's wisdom and improving national education these years.
"The people of the current empire are undoubtedly the best people in the history of the mainland, but the old aristocrats are the most vicious group in history. The old aristocrats used to own territories, and the people of the territories are their wealth. They will not exploit too much. It is necessary to consider the sustainable development of the people, they completely let go of the bottom line, and they are focused on making money, regardless of the suffering of the people!"
Thinking of this, Hathaway looked up at the sky, but what she saw was the dark beams and roofs, which were tightly blocked in front of her eyes, like a canopy covering the sky, making people have nowhere to hide, and people couldn't see them at all. The sun outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside the house, but Hathaway felt deeply that she was in a long dark night, and in the oppressive and chaotic world, she could not see any hope.
After a long time, Hathaway slowly regained her composure. She had already decided that nothing would happen and she fled back to the imperial capital in desperation, and she could not allow these guys to continue to harm the foundation of the empire.
