Travel to another world and become a great sage
Chapter 220 Human Sheriff
Seeing that the situation was not right, Caiaphas nominated Lombardo, the patriarch of the Darius family, as Weibull's face became even more gloomy.
Old Ford and Lombardo were old enemies, and each other's pigtails were pulled together, and there was no room for attacking each other. If it wasn't for the eldest princess who was in charge, I'm afraid they would have already started fighting.
The so-called high society and high-ranking aristocrats, after ruthlessly tearing off that layer of noble coat, turned their faces like peddlers in the market.
Caiapha's eyes fell on Restia's face, and Restia was expressionless, just staring at Tim with a slight expression of emotion.
According to the analysis of the current situation, Weibull will definitely not be able to be re-elected. Restia has finally waited for such a good opportunity to wipe out the bandits in the west. In terms of family background or personal center, Tim is the best candidate.
Lombardo and Old Ford can be regarded as counteracting forces, and Lombardo is not really a force under Caiaphas' command. Instead of letting Tim, a confidant, control the military power of Dark Moon, it is better to retreat and adopt "covenant take" strategy...
That ally whose relationship is still relatively stable for the time being must have further plots, puppet?control?or something else?In any case, for Taiaphas, it was absolutely beneficial and harmless.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Caiaphas' words used a faint force, which was not offensive, but it just suppressed the voices of old Ford and Lombardo.
Everyone's eyes were focused, and Caiaphas sighed pretentiously and said, "I remembered, and almost forgot one most important thing."
As he said that, Caiaphas' eyes fell on Hu Jiu who had been silent all this time: "Everyone still remember that at the last quarterly meeting, when I recommended Hu Jiu as the new mining officer, I once said that if Beilang Shan's problem is resolved, then I will further recommend him for the post of sheriff."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and they all showed strange expressions: Such a powerless human being is actually qualified to hold military power?
"I remember that at that time, I signed a document with our Mining Officer, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess also acted as the arbitrator. The document was in triplicate, and I still keep it."
As Caiaphas said, he took out a document from the space ring, and under the control of power, it floated in front of everyone one by one. Sure enough, besides the signatures of Hu Jiu and Caiaphas, there were Restia My magic signature.
As soon as Hu Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, but he immediately showed a submissive look. This time it was Tim's turn to cooperate with showing a stern look, not aimed at Hu Jiu, but pointing directly at "stirring shit" stick" Caiaphas.
Seeing this, Caiafa smiled even more, stood up and gave an elegant noble salute to Restia, and said seriously: "Now that the problem of Beilang Mountain has been resolved, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." ...His Royal Highness Restia, I now formally nominate the current mining officer Hu Jiu as the security officer."
The old Ford of the Carl family did not expect such an accident to happen, and immediately jumped out to object, saying that Hu Jiu was cowardly and incompetent, and the solution to the Beilangshan problem had nothing to do with him, how could he directly steal Tim's victory?
Tim was ashamed when he heard this sentence. In fact, both the crisis in Beilang Mountain and the underground world were resolved by Hu Jiu. Seriously, he, the touted hero, is the real one. Parallel imports, after all, I did nothing but give birth to a child in the underground world.
Everything is under the control of the master, including the "support" of Caiaphas. Although Tim is confident in his scheming and ability, he is completely convinced by the master.
Unsurprisingly, the Darius family quickly fell to Hu Jiu's side under Caiaphas' signal. The situation on the conference table became weird, and the selection of the sheriff became an internal dispute under the eldest princess.
Restia looked at the document she signed with her own hands, the corners of her brows twitched, and her eyes became complicated.
Caiafa secretly sneered: Restia has always kept her word, and her prestige is extremely high. If she wants to destroy her promise, her prestige will definitely decline.As for Hu Jiu, it was at the right time for the meeting. It was only because of him and the Darius family that he was qualified to compete with the Karl family at the meeting. Do worse.
Moreover, Jonah will vigorously "support" Hu Jiu, the representative of the new force. With the scheming of the Beelzebub royal family, it will definitely cause an inevitable split on the originally united Restia side.
Thinking of this, Caiaphas couldn't help but heaved a long sigh in his heart: After all, he is a descendant of the royal family. This kind of scheming, stamina, and vision are completely beyond his reach. It is really a blessing from the devil god to be able to have a relationship with such a person.
Restia sighed as if appointed, and stood up, the quarreling stopped immediately, and all eyes fell on the Lord of the Dark Moon.
Restia said indifferently: "Since there are documents first, Hu Jiu, the mining officer, will be the sheriff of Darkmoon City. Tim has made great contributions two years after he disappeared, and he will return to Beilang Mountain temporarily to serve as the mining officer. He also serves as the captain of the west road defense, responsible for the excavation and development of the mine and all defenses to the west of the dark moon.
Old Ford wanted to say something more, but the words stuck in his throat, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Weibull was the most angry. As soon as Restia announced the end of the meeting, she immediately got up and left. Before she left, she looked at Caiaphas, Hu Jiu and the others with hatred in her eyes.
The biggest loser this time is undoubtedly the former sheriff. It can be said that this meeting is: gods fight, mortals suffer.
Old Ford brought Tim over and congratulated Hu Jiu. His words were full of sarcasm, which seemed to satirize human beings for "revenging kindness and revenge". However, I don't know whether Hu Jiu was scheming or stupid. He really took it all. Come down, let people look a little bit higher.
But everyone knew that it was not so easy to be a sheriff, besides, Hu Jiu was just a human being with no strength, and he had offended such an established force as the Carl family.
Caiaphas walked over with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Excellency Hu Jiu. We can cooperate in more aspects in the future."
"Thank you, sir, for your recommendation." The human being who had dramatically climbed to the throne of the sheriff seemed a little at a loss, and his excitement was beyond words. He suddenly felt the cold breath behind him, turned his head to meet Restia's cold gaze, and immediately shuddered. trembled, and dared not say anything more to Caiapha.
Restia's icy eyes fell on Caiapha's face, Caiafa smiled as before, performed an elegant aristocratic salute, and turned away like a triumphant general.
........................
After everyone dispersed, only Restia and Hu Jiu were left in the spacious meeting hall.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the new Magistrate." Restia's deliberately shown anger in the face of Caiaphas has long since disappeared. It was really difficult for a paralyzed face to make an angry expression, and she relaxed her face slightly. Nervous, Restia said with emotion, "Your plan is amazing, and Caiaphas really took the initiative to push you to the position of sheriff."
In fact, all of this is a coincidence. If "Jonah" hadn't "communicated" with Caiaphas in advance, Caiaphas would not have made up his mind to push Hu Jiu to the throne.
However, Hu Jiu will definitely not reveal these inside facts, and just smiled: "Without the cooperation of the eldest princess and the Karl family, this effect will definitely not be achieved. Next, the eldest princess can send someone to control and rectify the guard army. I just need to do it." Just a decoration."
"Kagulon will be in charge of the Imperial Guard." Restia said with a faint look in her eyes, "Since you have already served as the Sheriff, the Guard will be handed over to you?"
"I can't do this!" Hu Jiu shook his head quickly, trying to come up with an idea to make trouble behind his back, and it's okay to lead soldiers. Moreover, the identity of "Hu Jiu" is a powerless human being, so it is impossible to expose it real strength.
"Don't underestimate your ability, and you can ask Tiana to help you." Restia glanced at him and suddenly added, "There is another piece of advice, the bloodline talent of the Wells family is very special, if you For Tiana's sake, don't cross that last line until she's 20."
Hu Jiu showed a look of surprise. The matter between him and Tiana was not made public. Even the little Lolita could only vaguely guess a little bit, but Restia probably guessed it too. At Beilang Mountain, Restia should have seen some clues.
Hu Jiu could hear a touch of loneliness in Restia's voice, Restia didn't give him time to explain or think about it, and continued nonchalantly: "Since this is the case, I think, when you went to the mine, you A promise should be fulfilled, and I will give it to you."
This is a rehash of the past, Hu Jiu frowned and said, "Can I refuse this reward?"
A few months ago, after Xili learned about this incident, the relationship between her and Hu Jiu, which had been relatively harmonious, suddenly became estranged. In the past, Xili liked to go on picnics with Alice, but she went to Hongye a few days ago. Lin, Alice offered to ask Xili to go, but she directly refused, obviously avoiding Hu Jiu.
To be honest, when I first came to Dark Moon City, Hu Jiu was still a little obsessed with this seductive witch, but now I don't feel that way at all, and I don't want to force others to be difficult, because of these things, I have a relationship with friends. Get more and more stiff.
"This is actually not a reward, but a task." Restia shook her head and continued: "Yu Xili was rescued by me by chance, and then became my maid, but... this so-called 'Accidental' is probably man-made. Don't underestimate this succubus, her mind and strength are far beyond your imagination."
Old Ford and Lombardo were old enemies, and each other's pigtails were pulled together, and there was no room for attacking each other. If it wasn't for the eldest princess who was in charge, I'm afraid they would have already started fighting.
The so-called high society and high-ranking aristocrats, after ruthlessly tearing off that layer of noble coat, turned their faces like peddlers in the market.
