Chapter 1195.2: New Judge
Su Xiao walked through the streets of the capital accompanied by ten royal guards and several hundred ordinary guards of the capital.
He thought that the cleanup of the capital would end with the elimination of four important officials, but after eliminating them, the king urgently summoned him and handed him a new long list.
Some of the officials on the list had to be executed on the spot, and some had to be thrown in jail.
Of course, the officials on this list were no longer treated with ceremony at all. The one who was to be executed on the spot immediately lost his head, and the one who was to go to prison was immediately taken away by the guards without further questions.
A large-scale clean-up operation has officially begun.
At one o'clock in the morning, a total of 67 officials of varying importance were eliminated in the capital. Twelve of them were executed on the spot, 18 were jailed for life, and the rest will have to serve several years..
Since the king had planned this purge a long time ago, the state system was virtually unaffected by it.
That night, corpses were being taken out of the capital endlessly, and the streets were filled with the smell of blood.
The princes and princesses didn't know yet that all the unstable factors in the capital had already been eliminated.
All the officials who were eliminated had a total of one similar detail. They were all old and cunning foxes that all these princes and princesses wouldn't be able to deal with without much sacrifice. Yes, they were all getting their hands on territories that they could manage as soon as they wanted, but they were too far away from the intrigues of the capital.
There were no fewer dangers inside the capital than on the wall of God.
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Xiao finished cleaning up.
Due to this incident, not only was he able to obtain the legendary treasure chest, but he also made everyone remember the infamous glory of the Iron Hand.
As soon as Su Xiao returned to his residence, he noticed that the courtyard had become much cleaner. At least the pool, previously full of mud and muddy water, had been cleaned up and no longer gave off any strange smells.
— Sir, you are back, the bath is ready.
Two little girls immediately ran up to him and decided to pay their respects first, to which Su Xiao waved his hand.
Being a modern man, he didn't really want someone of that age to kneel down in front of him.
After taking a hot bath, Su Xiao lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Amu fell asleep with his elbows on the door.
Now, no matter what world they were in, Amu preferred to sleep near the entrance of the room, so that no one could sneak up on Su Xiao in silence.
----
In the morning of the next day, the sun rose in the sky as usual. It seemed that nothing had happened in the kingdom's capital, or rather, the civilians had no idea what had happened last night.
The first princes and princesses will arrive in the capital very soon.
After a while, the first luxury carriage entered the gates of the royal capital. It was made entirely of metal, painted black, and had beautiful golden patterns. The coachman of this carriage was a knight with sharp eyes, and the horses were two black horses with horns on their heads.
They were an extremely rare breed.
The curtain on the carriage was lifted and a handsome man in his forties with a small moustache on his chin looked out.
This was the prince Herve Anthony had mentioned.
— We've finally arrived in the capital, " the eldest Prince said as he looked at the capital's scenery with a gentle smile on his face.
He looked like a very pleasant man, with a smile that made you feel good.
— Your Highness, we have a lot of opponents this time, and there are a lot of people that we will need to attract to our side, " the old man in the carriage said.
He was the eldest Prince's confidant.
— There are really a lot of enemies, but you can not attract very many people to your side. A treasurer, a manager, and an army commander are enough for us, and as long as they are on my side, no one can stop me from taking the throne. Since they are my father's people, it will be quite easy to do so.
— What about the Iron Hand? These three are his hands and feet, but the Iron Hand is His Majesty's scythe, " the old man said.
He obviously wanted the prince to attract Su Xiao, the Iron Hand, to his side as well.
— The iron hand? He's a judge, not someone we can get on our side. It's too dangerous to try to win him over, so I'm not even considering it. Last night, he caused a massacre in the capital. Just a day ago, Chief Justice Herve Anthony was a famous and influential official, and now he's just a corpse, " the eldest Prince replied and leaned back in his seat.
He was the first prince to arrive in the capital, and he also had "one extra life" that was secretly given to him by the king. He was number one in this battle for the throne.
Bubtney even bet fifty Paradise coins that he would be the new king.
