Give Me the Name of God

There are three swords of judgment in the Romulu Kingdom. One is in the hands of General Longson, one is in the hands of the Grand Inquisitor (equivalent to the Grand Judge), and the other is in the hand of the King. He can use these swords. Grant powers to other officials.

Those who possess the Sword of Judgment can execute criminals according to their crimes without the approval of superior officials and the king.

Execution targets were limited to civilians and slaves, not nobles, but this was also a very powerful power. In order to obtain the Sword of Judgment, the Divine Punisher had negotiated with the king countless times. No one expected that the king would take the decision. The sword is given to a small vigilante.

In the royal capital, officials are divided into three levels. The first level is the ministers of state and generals, one civil and one military. They represent the pinnacle of power other than the king.

The second level is the officials in charge of different positions, including the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Supervision, the Grand Magistrate, the Grand Commercial Officer, etc.

The third category is the officials who deal with specific affairs, including Si Shi, Si Yan, Si Shui, ordinary magistrates, commercial officers and the magistrates served by Manda.

It was unbelievable that a low-level official could obtain the Sword of Judgment. The Minister of State was very surprised. He wanted to advise the king to be more cautious, but when he saw Longgesen's sharp eyes, he shut his mouth knowingly. Anyway, the Sword of Judgment was not involved. In the interests of the nobles, there was no need for him to argue with the general over such matters.

Taking the sword of judgment, Manda swore allegiance to the king. Regardless of outside rumors, he has a very good impression of the King. There is still hope for the Romulu Kingdom, at least the king still has blood.

Next, let’s talk about the key issue, how to deal with the assassin Alisan.

According to the opinion of the Minister of State, he should be executed with the most severe punishment. The first thing he thought of was the punishment of dropping lead.

The so-called lead-dropping punishment is to use fire tongs to tear open the skin and flesh of a mortal, and then drip lead water onto the wound to torture the prisoner to death.

It sounds very cruel, but this is not what Manda wants. If he simply wants to kill Alisan, Manda can think of a hundred ways. The reason why he is kept until now is because he is an important witness against the God Punisher. .

Bucken, the Bishop of the Church of Divine Punishment, ordered the murderer to kill the newly appointed Sheriff. What a terrible crime this is! This can not only severely damage the arrogance of God's Punisher, but also change the attitude of civilians towards God's Punisher.

The idea was good, but as soon as Longerson said it, he was strongly opposed by the Minister of State.

We can't do this. This will push the God's Punisher to a dead end. This will force the God's Punisher to start a war.

Looking at the Minister of State with burns on his face, Manda really didn't know what to say.

Longsen sneered and said, You almost died at the hands of God's Punisher. Don't you even have the courage to take revenge?

The Minister of State Affairs said: Not to mention it's still a little bit worse, so what if I really die at the hands of God's Punisher? What does my life mean compared to the safety of the kingdom?

There are tens of thousands of God's Punishers in the capital. If they riot, how long can we resist? Do you think you can bring down the Punisher with just one crime? If it were that easy, what would our centuries of struggle be?

The words of the Minister of State left the king and Longerson speechless, and finally they decided to temporarily put Alisan on death row.

After leaving the palace, Longgesen said to Manda: I have to say that the Minister of State is right. Hundreds of years of struggle will not end overnight. It's just that this matter has wronged you.

Longgesen was overly worried. Whether Alisan lived or died had little impact on Manda. The top priority right now was to survive in the royal capital and survive with dignity.

Back on the carriage, Manda immediately returned to his true body. The person who met the king was his clone. For him, the entire king's capital was in danger. If he didn't pay attention, the scene of his throat being cut could happen at any time. May happen again.

With the paperwork and seal in hand, Manda arrived at the Sheriff's residence. The mansion is not big, with a two-story building in the middle and three rows of bungalows surrounding it on three sides, thus forming a courtyard.

Before entering the mansion, Dunison reminds Manda that the Sheriff's men may not be easy to get along with.

Although they are low-level officials, the Sheriff still has many subordinates, who are called law enforcement officers. The law enforcement officers are not real officials. They are similar to the yamen in the East and belong to the category of official duties. There are seventeen law enforcement officers under Manda. Their attitude towards Manda is not very good because they prefer the original peace officer.

The former sheriff was waiting for Manda at the door. When he saw Manda walking into the official residence, he stepped forward and said hello: You must be Viscount Monchik. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Manda was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile and said, Who is your Excellency?

I was the master of this place. Like you, I was also a viscount, Viscount Longson.

His surname is Rungersen, and you don’t need to guess to know that he is General Rungersen’s nephew Heram.

Seeing that Manda's expression was a little strange, Heram smiled and said: Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. I lost my money bag and asked the Sheriff to help.

It turned out that he was the one who reported the crime. This must not be ignored. Manda politely invited Heram into the mansion and asked the law enforcement officer to pour a glass of wine for Longerson.

The law enforcement officer was very down-to-earth and only poured a glass of wine for Heram, which proved that he didn't take Manda seriously at all.

Manda didn't seem to mind. After a few polite words, she asked, What are the characteristics of your wallet?

It's easy to identify. It's a silk money bag with the emblem of the Rungersen family embroidered in gold thread.

In the royal capital, silk money bags are still common, but the Longgesen family's emblem is a bit special.

It was a dragon that was breathing fire. The pattern was very complex and extremely difficult to imitate.

Manda then asked: How much money do you have in your wallet?

Helam said: About dozens of gold coins, I don't remember.

It's not that he doesn't remember, it's that he didn't lose his wallet at all. The purpose of coming here was to embarrass Manda.

Although she knew that the other party was looking for trouble, Manda did not show the slightest anger: Please go back and wait for a while, I will help you find it soon.

How long will it be soon? Helam was very dissatisfied with Manda's answer. If this happened before, I could get the money bag back within three days.

What can I say? Manda smiled, It's just a money bag, it won't last three days.

Heram was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared: Master Sheriff, how long do you think it will take to find the money bag? Is two days enough?

I'm derelict in making you wait for two days. Please come to me at noon tomorrow to get your wallet back.

Okay! It's a deal!

Heram turned and left, and Manda said to the law enforcement officers: Why are you still standing there, go find the money bag!

The head of the law enforcement officer, Boril (equivalent to the head catcher), said with disdain: Sir, the capital is so big, where can we find him?

I don't care where you look. If you can't find it before noon tomorrow, each of you will receive fifty lashes.

Boril sneered and left with the law enforcement officers. Chuitt came to Manda and whispered: Sir, I have seen the emblem of the Longson family. It takes one day to imitate a money bag, but I don’t know how much money should be put in it.”

Don't bother, just find a broken money bag and put two copper coins in it.

Chuyit didn't understand what Manda meant, and then heard Manda say: Who is the leader of the thieves in the south of the city?

What is a thief?

Chuitt looked confused, and Dunison replied: It's Hamis. The thieves in the south of the city all obey his words.

There are gangs in any profession. Dunison has been a gang leader for half his life, so he naturally understands what Manda means.

Manda nodded and said: Call Khamis here, I will treat him to lunch tomorrow.
