Chapter 1179

Royal Capital, Hand of Iron's residence.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Amu sat at the dining table. The dining table was filled with delicious food. Su Xiao had never seen these delicacies. The culture and products of each world are different, so there will be a certain degree of difference in delicacies.

"Looks like you two have some uses."

Su Xiao looked at the delicacies on the dining table. He really couldn't imagine how two little luoli about ten years old could cook so many delicacies in one hour.

Don't think this is a simple matter. The two little luoli first went to the market to buy ingredients, and then processed ingredients, cooking, etc.

Su Xiao tasted the delicacies on the table. The taste was unexpectedly good, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu also began to feast.

"My lord, can we go clean the courtyard in a while?"

The older sister among the little luoli spoke. Although she looked a bit cute and dull, she belonged to the diligent type.

"As long as you can fill its stomach, you can do whatever you want after that."

Su Xiao chewed a kind of beast meat. He decided to keep these two little girls temporarily. Although these two had no combat power, they could do some housework. After all, he had to stay in this world for about a month.

The food on the table was quickly swept away by Amu. The little luoli sisters immediately brought new food. This time Amu completely let go of his appetite and began to eat wildly.

One hour later, two somewhat exhausted little luoli stood by the dining table.

"Hiccup~"

Amu let out a full hiccup. That expression was as happy as it could be. It had a small increase in favor for the two little things beside the dining table.

"You two go out."

Su Xiao of course wouldn't let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu go out, but let the two little luoli avoid it. Although the possibility of these two being eyes and ears was not high, it was not impossible.

"Yes." x2

The two synchronized little luoli left the room, and when they left, they closed the door. They dragged their exhausted bodies to clean the courtyard. For the two of them, only by staying here would they have the possibility of continuing to live. Mixed-bloods without slave owners are either executed or continue to be sold. Although the two sisters are not old, they have already experienced the evil of this world.

Su Xiao took out the small roll of parchment handed to him by the Old King from the storage space. After opening the parchment, four names were written on it.

They were: Ian Polit, Warner Vaughn, Zabo, Elvie Anthony.

The four names look ordinary, but adding these four names together represents great power.

Ian Polit, Kingdom Councilor (there are 10 councilors in total).

Warner Vaughn, Inspector (responsible for managing public morality, Royal Capital building maintenance, expansion, etc.).

Zabo, Temple High Priest (responsible for festival sacrifices, Royal Family rituals, etc.).

Elvie Anthony, Chief Judge (low official rank, extremely high real power).

Among the four, there are councilors, inspectors, high priests, and chief judges. The first three are actually nothing. One is an idle official with some power in his hands, and the other two are responsible for management construction and sacrifices. Although the names are not small, the real power in their hands is not too great.

The last person, Elvie Anthony, is different. He is the Chief Judge. In this world with extremely backward communication, the power of the Chief Judge is severely magnified. He can judge a person guilty in a clever way, and can also reduce a person's crime in an appropriate way.

If those wealthy merchants, civilians, and middle and lower-level officials violate the kingdom's laws, they are all judged by him, which leads to him having huge connections and financial resources in the Royal Capital.

The Hand of Iron has cleared many dissidents of the Old King, but clearing important officials like the Chief Judge is relatively rare.

"This is to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

The Old King did this to sound an alarm for all officials, telling them that although the competition for power is about to begin, you had better be honest, otherwise the Hand of Iron will pinch your necks.

Just when Su Xiao was considering how to act tonight, a mouse suddenly drilled into the room.

The appearance of this mouse was nothing special, but it was not afraid of Su Xiao's blood energy. Instead, it ran to Su Xiao's feet and looked up at Su Xiao with those small, pitch-black eyes.

Su Xiao looked at the mouse at his feet, and soon he found something strange in the mouse's abdomen. There seemed to be something tied there.

Amu grabbed the mouse. The mouse didn't struggle, but rubbed its head against Amu's fingers. This thing was obviously tamed by humans.

On the mouse's abdomen, Su Xiao saw a small paper tube. He pulled off the paper tube and opened it to check. There was a kind of distorted pattern drawn on it.

Su Xiao had seen this kind of pattern before. When the Reincarnation Paradise introduced the Hand of Iron's identity before, a large number of secret codes were marked below.

Su Xiao interpreted these distorted patterns according to the secret codes, and soon, he got three words.

"Is there me."

This message was not marked with a name, but Su Xiao knew who this thing was from. It was Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey, the old man he met before, who bumped into Su Xiao's shoulder but twisted his own waist.

You know, Rowan Harvey is one of the four people the Old King trusts most, and his status in the Old King's eyes is not lower than Su Xiao's. Such a person actually started to feel insecure, which shows how cruel the upcoming power struggle is.

If it were a peaceful world, this kind of almost public power struggle would be brain-dead, but this is a world that has been at war for nearly a thousand years. This world has developed a stable power system. It looks absurd, but it is actually a very perfect system.

Su Xiao crushed the note in his hand and signaled Amu to let go of the mouse. Not replying means that Rowan Harvey is not on the cleanup list tonight.

The previous Hand of Iron must have had an excellent private relationship with Rowan Harvey, otherwise Rowan Harvey sending this thing would be equivalent to seeking death. Su Xiao will of course maintain this relationship. The other party is in control of finance, and it will definitely be used at a critical moment.

The most suitable time for the cleanup tonight is around 8 o'clock in the evening. At that time, it was just dark, and people in the Royal Capital had just finished dinner not long ago and were in a stage of having nothing to do. If something big happened at this time, it would definitely spread far and wide, which is the most ideal effect.

Cleaning up those four officials looks simple, but Su Xiao still has many things to prepare, such as getting a very detailed map first. He at least needs to know the terrain of the Royal Capital.

If it were modern times, maps would be things seen everywhere, but in this world, the value of maps is very high, and they are also contraband. Except for the Royal Family or officials, civilians are not allowed to manufacture maps without authorization.

First, Su Xiao needs to get a detailed map of the Royal Capital. Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out of the room. With his Hand of Iron position, getting a map is not difficult.

Three hours later, Su Xiao returned to the Hand of Iron's residence. He got the Royal Capital map, but his money bag was very hurt.

Hand of Iron is a high-income official position, but the gold coins left by the previous Hand of Iron were not many, only 350 gold coins. The purchasing power of one gold coin is equivalent to about 12,000 RMB, and the map in Su Xiao's hand cost him a full 285 gold coins. That's right, the price of the Royal Capital map is just that exaggerated.
