Chapter 2474 Doubt

I looked at everyone present with expectant eyes, but the response to me was silence.

I really can't understand that the middle-to-high-level position of supervising the censorship department is a lucrative job that even ordinary nobles can only find.

Although it may offend some people, it has great power and covers a wide range of things.

Furthermore, this department is directly responsible to the two His Majesty, and is not restricted by any other department. It is a department directly under the royal family. Once it is included in it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be the shadow of the wife and the lintel of the family.

But they couldn't bring up the slightest interest. It seemed that lighting up the lintel was like nothing to them.

The silent atmosphere made me embarrassed. I coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, please think carefully. This is a good opportunity to be your wife's shadow and shine your light on your family."

"Return to the master," the leading assassin said: "We are either from poor backgrounds or homeless. The young and old in our family either starved to death or died of illness. They have all been thrown into the corpse pit. The rest of us would have died of starvation." What happened to you on the street, fortunately, the leader's disciples took a fancy to you and became your retainer, the leader's disciple. Finally, we have enough to eat and drink. Now, we don't have any other thoughts. We only hope that we can live with this disabled person in our lifetime. body, to repay you and the leader for your kindness in rebuilding."

"Repay you and the leader for your kindness in reincarnation!" Other assassins also echoed, and their voices were like thunder, resounding in all directions.

ah! Boss Ren's brainwashing education is simply perfect.

It seems that relying solely on self-awareness is no longer enough. If this continues, I will never be able to choose the right candidate for the rest of my life.

After pondering for a moment, I changed my attitude. It was no longer a discussion tone, but an order: "I once had an idea. If there are our people in the important departments of Moonlight City, more information and intelligence will be obtained, and the mission will be executed. Is it easier to get up?"

"Now, the inspection department that is about to be opened is one of the core departments of Moonlight City. If my people can infiltrate this department, they will definitely benefit a lot in the future. It can also be regarded as a reward for me. Have you guys considered it? idea?"

Everyone was still silent, but the atmosphere was not awkward.

Everyone's eyes were no longer firm, but full of hesitation.

It's not bad to show off your feelings occasionally. Since they are eager to repay me, let them repay me. I just shift the focus of repayment to joining the supervision department.

Soon the first assassin stood up. He stared at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Report to the master, I want to join."

"Okay" I nodded happily: "Is there any more?"

Following the trend is the most essential human trait. Once someone is successful, there will naturally be a second one, then a third one, a fourth one, and a fifth one. In a short time, more than a dozen assassins will choose to join.

But it is still slightly less than the total number of vacancies on the list.

"Anyone else want to join?" I once again cast my gaze on the faces of the remaining dozen assassins who were still kneeling on one knee.

But no matter how they stared at them, these dozen people remained unmoved. They all assumed the posture of fighting a protracted war, biting their heads, lowering their heads, and even worse, even closed their eyes.

Well, no matter what, at least a dozen people have joined the Supervisory Censor Department, and I can finally communicate with the Queen’s grandma.

As for the other vacant places, it’s up to Grandma and Anastas to discuss it. I can’t help.

I handed over the list and a dozen assassins to the Fairy Queen. The queen was quite satisfied with my performance. Her only regret was that the gaps in the list could not be filled.

But she also understands that although I have some connections, those connections all perform their own duties. No one is just a freebie, and they can't spare the time to put down their work and participate in the carving up of political power in Moonlight City.

Rather than force yourself to do something, it’s better to stop doing it in moderation.

After a brief inquiry, the assassins all passed the screening.

In fact, the screening is just a formality. The purpose is to see through the surface to see the essence and find out what they really think.

Do you still remember that the King's Crown is the crown that the queen's grandmother is wearing now? It has a special ability to sense the fluctuations in the other party's thoughts. If you lie or have other evil thoughts, you can detect it through the King's Crown.

However, it is impossible to read the content of thoughts.

The reason why I know this is because I also wore this crown, and through it, I got in touch with the martyrs of Frederic Rupert’s tomb, and buried Frederic Rupert’s regrets in one fell swoop. , cut off his sinister idea of ​​destroying the tomb and burying me together.

After confirming the candidate, the Fairy Queen dismissed everyone, leaving only me to talk to her.

"Although some of your people are still immature, they are all loyal, which is good."

"It's natural," I said, "It's their blessing to serve the great Fairy Queen."

"Is this really the case?" Grandma Queen shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't compliment me, it's useless. I know very well that the person they are really loyal to is not me, but you."

"Well, grandma has a keen eye. I deeply admire her."

"Humph, just try to be clever here." The Fairy Queen chuckled, poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and said: "But you did a good job in this matter. Although a dozen people are not many, it is enough. .”

"Where do you plan to place them?" I asked tentatively.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but they must be in key positions. I want them to be like joints. No matter how the bones are replaced, their positions cannot be shaken, and there is no way to work beyond them."

"In this way, wouldn't the idea of ​​the elders and the emperor to join forces to share the spoils be completely shattered?" I worried: "If we do this decisively, will it be detrimental to the stability of the country?"

"They will figure it out." The Fairy Queen sneered: "This Moonlight City is not a hunting ground exclusively for them. If you want to obtain prey, you must first ask me, the owner of the hunting ground, if I am willing. If I am not willing, who dares to do anything wrong?" , whoever has to pay the price."

Hearing this, I felt a shiver in my heart: "Grandma, do you mean that this treason incident also involves the elders and the emperor?"

"It's not clear yet whether they have anything to do with it, but I don't believe it if they say they know nothing about it." The Fairy Queen said coldly: "The supervisory censor of Blue Crystal Town must come here in person at least once a year. If you are interested in investigating, you only need to set up checkpoints and spread the network. It doesn't take half a month to get all the big and small matters in the city under your control, and you can treason and rebel. How can we escape from the eyes of the highest authority department!"

At this point, she sighed and said quietly: "It's a pity that some people, for their own selfish interests, have blinded their eyes, blackened their hearts, and forgotten their original intentions."
