Chapter 619: Beating

The next day, as soon as he got to work, Director David sent someone to move all the materials about the Lionheart Embassy and read them over, and then he had a clear idea in his mind.

Although he promised Prince Charlie to do the job, he also had to find out the specific situation, otherwise he might get into trouble if he assigned people at random.

How could someone who could sit at this level make mistakes in details?

Then he asked someone to quietly send the information back, as if nothing had happened.

It was almost time to get off work at noon before he asked someone to call Jose, the section chief in charge of issuing and inspecting gun licenses.

Jose was summoned by the director and immediately trotted to the office. He gasped a few times before he finished the work at his desk.

Director David coughed and talked about business: "I accidentally heard someone say yesterday that people from the Lionheart Embassy were carrying guns illegally. What do you think?"

Jose's mind turned, and the director said it was unintentional, which meant that there was a deep meaning.

He asked tentatively: "After all, the Lionheart Kingdom is a foreign country, and it does need some force."

Director David frowned.

Jose immediately changed the subject: "But this is not a reason for them to act recklessly. Our duty is to strictly control the first checkpoint and provide a safe environment for the people.

I think we should put some pressure on them. The approval of the next batch of gun licenses should be stricter."

Director David stopped frowning, but his expression was very calm.

Jose understood and continued: "In addition, we must also strictly review and inspect every year to ensure that no fish slip through the net.

I remember that someone fired a gun outside the Lionheart Embassy before the New Year. I think it is very likely that they did it. I will check it out immediately."

Director David smiled with satisfaction, and Jose knew the director's intention.

"It must be reasonable and legal. It is true that we serve the people, but there must be no mistakes in the procedures." Director David reminded.

Of course, there is no problem in doing things for others, but there is no need to gamble on your own future.

As for whether the correct procedures can get things done, this is the value of Jose's existence.

This procedure within the system is very mysterious and is a big question.

If you say you have no problem, all procedures are absolutely reasonable and legal.

Say you have a problem, and all the procedures can be found to have problems.

Jose got the task, returned to his office, and immediately moved all the information of the Lionheart Kingdom Embassy.

His first step was to notify the gunmen of the Lionheart Embassy to prepare for this year's review.

The Lionheart Embassy also has to review every year at this time, and the time is almost right.

The newly appointed ambassador Edgar has been in the Great Xia Empire for many years, so he naturally knows everything.

He sent two military attachés to the Firearms Administration Bureau to take care of it, but the gifts were sent out, and they told him that the rules had changed this year, and he had to apply for a review in person.

Edgar didn't think much about it, and personally took all the gunmen to the Firearms Administration Bureau.

However, when he met Section Chief Jose, the latter suddenly threw out a file: "Last year, someone reported that someone fired a gun near your embassy. At present, your suspicion has not been lifted, so the review cannot pass."

Edgar keenly realized that something was wrong, and this was deliberately embarrassing himself.

"Chief Jose, this matter really has nothing to do with us. It may be the people in your country who were marching at the time who fired the gun. We are innocent." Edgar cried out for injustice, but he knew it was useless.

Sure enough, Chief Jose said sternly that he must follow the procedures.

After Edgar left the office, his face looked very ugly.

The person he sent out also sneaked back and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Ambassador, no one wants to come out for dinner."

He wanted to contact privately, but he didn't expect that no one would come.

It seems that the person who took action is more powerful than he thought, otherwise these people would definitely not mind eating the defendant and then the plaintiff.

Only if one party is a big shot they can't afford to offend, they will be so honest.

Edgar knew that this time he might be a little troublesome, but it would be troublesome if he didn't take down the gun license.

So after thinking for a while, he found a military attaché who was short of money.

"You take the blame for the shooting last year. Afterwards, the embassy will raise your salary by one level and compensate you with 200 gold coins in one lump sum."

Although he could have someone take the blame with just one sentence, giving him the royal family's money would help him get rid of the resentment and do favors for himself, which was extremely cost-effective.

After arranging someone to take the blame, he found Jose again and apologized: "Chief Jose, this was really done by my military attaché. I just went back and interrogated them before I found out. He was in a bad mood at the time and wanted to scare the people in the parade."

Chief Jose didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, but he had a lot of ways to delay it.

"Okay, Ambassador Edgar can self-examine and self-correct, which is very good. Please go back and wait. We will notify you as soon as the review results come out." Jose said.

"May I ask how many days it will take?" Edgar asked very skillfully, otherwise he was afraid that the other party would drag it out for a year or two.

Chief Jose immediately promised: "I will definitely reply to you within seven days."

Edgar had already anticipated that this matter would not end easily, but there was no way at this time, so he could only wait until seven days later.

Sure enough, after waiting for seven days, two gun licenses were directly rejected, and the remaining ones were required to submit additional materials because of incomplete information.

Edgar quickly sent someone to submit the additional materials, but the application was called back seven days later.

This went on for several times, and a month passed.

Without a gun license, the trouble is not that big, at least in private land, the Gun Administration Bureau cannot intervene.

But this day, Edgar went out to socialize, and halfway through the journey, the driver suddenly braked.

He was a military officer, so he reacted quickly.

"What happened?"

"It seems someone is trying to scam me." The driver said uncertainly.

Edgar didn't even see the injured person who was hit, and a bunch of people were already surrounding him.

"Pay money, get out of the car."

"Call the sheriff over, the white guy hit someone and wanted to run."

Edgar couldn't hide, and it looked like the other party wanted to overturn the car.

"Don't get excited, I'll pay money, you guys tell me the amount!"

Edgar was willing to pay money, and problems that could be solved with money were not problems.

But someone in the crowd shouted: "Damn white guy, he actually wanted to insult us with money, beat him up."

With an order, a group of people who looked more like gangsters than family members started to fight directly.

It's true that Edgar was a military officer, but he couldn't fight back in a group fight!

After being severely beaten, when the sheriff arrived, everyone had run away.

Especially the guy who was hit, he ran the fastest.

He was taken to the Sheriff's Office for questioning and recorded his statement. Not to mention going out to socialize, it was good enough that he didn't become a laughing stock.

Edgar actually knew that this was the follow-up of the gun license incident.

Now he couldn't just sit and wait for death. He immediately used his connections to smooth things over. At least he should know who was targeting him.

Prince Charlie was very happy to know all this.
