Chapter 1195.1: The New Judge
Steve will be the new chief justice. The three officials that Su Xiao eliminated earlier were not very important positions. If their positions were vacant for a few days, nothing would happen, but if the position of chief justice, who was in charge of the law and was the final authority of the kingdom, was empty for a couple of days, it would definitely create a lot of problems, not to mention that the battle for the throne had already begun.
Steve came here at this point to gain valuable experience.
Herve was very kind and told and explained to Steve everything he asked..
Was he crazy, or was he hoping for a pardon? No.
He did all this to ensure that his family was left alone.
----
An hour later.
— In general, that's all. How you deal with it afterwards depends on your personal abilities, " Herve said and took a deep breath.
He seemed to have used up all his strength in this hour.
— Iron hand, I did everything I had to, His Majesty... Is there anything I need to hear??
— The treasury is tight right now.
Hearing Su Xiao's answer, Herve's lips opened and closed, and in the end, he could only laugh miserably.
He still didn't understand what this old lion was thinking.
Su Xiao took out a small scroll from his sleeve and tossed it to Steve. "Read it.
Steve immediately unwrapped it. - Chief Justice Herve Anthony knowingly and intentionally violated the laws of the kingdom...
— Get to the point, " Su Xiao interrupted Steve's long speech. In fact, the king's order was concise and fit into one sentence, but Steve decided to read a whole bunch of nonsense.
— Of course, Herve Anthony will drink poison, and his family will be exiled to the Sir Highlands without the opportunity to work for the royal family, " Steve said immediately. He was very accommodating, however, he didn't want to go up against such a person at all, since his predecessor was going to die right now in front of his eyes.
In fact, now the proverb "beat your own people so that others are afraid" was being implemented.».
Steve took a ceramic bottle out of his pocket and set it on the table. — Your punishment.
— Oh, but what's the difference? Herve muttered and took the bottle. His hands were shaking, but he was smiling. Although his family was exiled to the cruel Sir Highlands, they will be able to continue living, and as long as they live, they will have hope.
— If you lose... you must lose with honor. I bet the eldest prince will inherit the throne. Iron Hand, which side will you take in this war for power? Herve asked as he pulled the cork out of the ceramic bottle and poured the contents into his mouth.
Closing his eyes, he leaned back in his chair. At that moment, he thought of the man with the moustache on his chin.
One day he said to him: "Go for it, Herve, but if I win, you will be my man."».
— Wonderful, " Herve said at last, and fainted because of the blue flower's poison. His last comment might have been about his life, or the upcoming war for the throne...
Supreme Court Justice Herve Anthony was the first loser in this power struggle. In fact, he didn't die because of greed or taking the wrong side, but because he didn't want to give up the power that had been in his hands all along. Power was like a drug, and once a person tasted it, they couldn't stop, until eventually they were trapped in a hopeless trap.

The Hunter completed the side mission "Sweep", 100,000 Paradise coins were credited to the Hunter's balance.
From all points of view, there were only two people who gained the most from this sweep: Su Xiao obtained the resources needed to gain even more power, and the king eliminated the unstable factors in the capital.
Since all four targets had been eliminated, it was now necessary to make a list of all their assets. Responsible for this case will be the Treasurer of the kingdom, Rowan Harvey, who has been awake all this time and waiting.
This elderly man was a smart person and knew exactly what was going to happen that night.
Calculating the assets of these four people will not be easy. It was impossible to do without the confiscation of cash, since the bulk of their funds were invested in real estate.
The kingdom's councilor took the wrong sides and was a bit of an incompetent official, the ombudsman interfered in other people's affairs, no, in fact it was worth admitting that he abused his power, the high priest of the temple knew too many secrets, and the high judge was a clear reminder from the king that everyone had to remember the framework decency.
On this night, all of the capital's officials sensed a huge danger. If the Iron Hand knocked on their doors, it would put an end to their history, so that night none of them could sleep.
