Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Chirp chirp...

The silence at this moment is deafening.

Moyna had a kind smile on his face, and he lowered his head towards Hull, as if he didn't hear what the other person was saying at all.

Moyna didn't get the answer he wanted, so he walked to the desk and casually flipped through the documents on it.

"this...?"

The document records the details of the corruption, including the people, places, amounts and reasons...

There were some things that Moina himself had forgotten, but he still remembered many of them clearly.

"Political Officer Hull...are you kidding me? You must be kidding, right? Hahahaha..."

Hel and Gilder looked at each other and then showed some embarrassment.

It's as if to say, the evidence is right in front of you, so why are you still pretending you know nothing?

The smile on Moyna's face gradually became stiff.

"Wow!!!" Moina was so scared that he took a few steps back and almost fell down.

Who made these files... and why are they placed here? !

Why why why why why...

After figuring out the current situation, Moyna's mind went blank.

It took him a while to react, and then he rushed to the desk like a flash. He gasped heavily and put his face in front of the documents, his eyes almost popping out.

Creak, creak, creak...

Moina mechanically turned his neck to look at Hull.

"You should know when to joke! What on earth are these things!!!"

"Didn't you hear what I just said? Lord Moyna, these are the records of your corruption, the so-called evidence of your crime."

"I have never done anything greedy! Where did you get these documents? They are all fabricated! They are forged!"

"You don't need to explain anything to me. When the time comes, the judge will listen to your explanation in person."

"Eh...?!"

Hull smiled and picked up a document to read.

Taking another look at the corruption records that almost covered his desk, Hull shook his head.

"However, with so much evidence before you, it's impossible to deny your involvement. I still suggest that you confess your guilt frankly so that you can get a reduced sentence."

“…Wait…Eh…what…Ah!?”

Cold sweat had already seeped out of Moina's back and forehead.

These documents clearly record the time, place, person, and even the amount and specific reasons for each bribe.

And it's all real...

With these, there is no doubt that Moina is guilty of corruption.

"These...these...these documents...are all fabricated...I didn't do any of them! Someone must be framing me!"

"Please do not worry about the authenticity of this evidence. As a government official, I naturally cannot put false evidence on the table. In fact, I have already verified the evidence. Unfortunately, every single one of these incidents actually happened."

"... Stop talking nonsense here! How can these things be true!"

"I think you know whether I am talking nonsense or not. Although I have only spoken a few words to you and don't know you well enough, it seems that there are many people in East Territory who hold grudges against you. It is thanks to them that we have been able to collect so much evidence of your crimes. They really helped a lot."

"Eh……?!"

Corruption is a serious crime in the empire.

Especially as a general of the empire, he already holds the power of the empire in his hands. He can influence the flow of huge wealth with a thought and decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people with a flick of his finger.

Therefore, the empire was extremely strict against corruption among generals.

If there is suspicion of corruption, the person will be dismissed immediately and emergency investigation measures will be taken.

There will be no leniency in punishment.

In addition to confiscating all the stolen money, the prison sentence is basically up to ten years.

If you are a noble, your land, assets, title, etc. will be confiscated.

In serious cases, all relatives within three clans may be implicated and become slaves or beheaded.

If the evidence on the table is confirmed, Moina will never be able to walk out of prison in his life.

All wealth, status, and titles will vanish in an instant.

His family will also be involved.

"Who! Tell me! Who is the person who wants to frame me? I have lived a clean life for most of my life! There is no stain on me at all!"

"You seem to want to know who gave me this evidence...? But I can't tell you."

"Ha! You can't tell it, right? Because there has never been such a person in the first place! Of course you can't tell it! These things are all fake! Someone wants to frame me!"

"No, I don't want to tell you because once you know who stabbed you in the back, you will definitely go after them. But I promised to protect their personal safety, and I can't break my promise."

"You...what nonsense are you talking about! How could I do such a despicable thing! I just want to confront them! Expose their conspiracy!"

"Then there is no need for me to tell you. Anyway, the evidence is all here. You will naturally meet the witnesses in court. If these are all fabricated, the judge will give you justice. None of them can escape, right?"

"..." Moina was unable to refute the rebuttal and could only grit his teeth in hatred.

He really wanted to know who betrayed him, and he had to make all those who betrayed him pay the price!

Unlike Moyna who was furious, Hull looked relaxed. He picked up a document and took a look at it.

"But it's easy to guess, right? The person who knows this much must be someone very close to you."

"..."

Indeed...only a close confidant, definitely a secretary, or a person directly involved in accepting bribes could leave such detailed records.

However, if they were participants, they would never self-destruct. In the empire, accepting bribes is as serious a crime as offering bribes.

What good would it do them to go to hell together with Moyna!

The only ones who deserve suspicion are the secretaries under my command...

"Well... well... Lord Gilder, I have something urgent to attend to. I have to excuse myself first."

Moyna turned around and wanted to leave.

Now he must go back to his secretary and ask questions clearly, find out all the traitors, and silence them when necessary!

Otherwise, your life will be over...

"Well, Lord Gilder, I have a joint letter of accusation against Lord Moina. Could you please take a look at it?"

"Eh?!" Moina, who had just taken a few steps, stopped immediately.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Hull handing a letter to Gilder.

"Ah!!!! What are you doing?!" Moyna turned around like a top and rushed in front of Hull.

He snatched the joint letter of accusation and tore it to pieces.

That wasn't enough, Moina also stuffed the crumbs of parchment into his mouth.

Without this crucial evidence, the records on the table, which were difficult to distinguish between true and false, could not explain anything at all.

All that's left is to identify all the possible betrayers and deal with them one by one and everything will be fine.

Moreover, even if Gilder wanted to investigate, he had the support of Minister Goering and the Acting Senior Regent behind him.

As long as there are no major flaws, with the help of these two people, he can cover up the fact of his corruption.

“Mmmmm…Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”

Moina chewed the parchment scraps in her mouth.

He couldn't feel at ease until he swallowed all of it.

Such fatal evidence must never be allowed to come to light.

But the quality of the parchment was so good that the fragment got stuck in my throat and I swallowed it several times before I finally forced it down.

After swallowing it, I soon felt a bloated and uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. These things are not easy to digest.

But this must be done in order to destroy this crucial piece of evidence.

"Lord Moina, are those things delicious? It took me more than an hour to copy the joint accusation letter. I hope you find them delicious."

“Eh…?! A copy——?!”

"Yes, how could I carry such important evidence with me? I have already hidden the real letter of accusation where no one can find it. It's okay for you to eat the copy, but parchment is difficult to digest. You'd better not eat that kind of thing in the future. It will upset your stomach."

"...Where is it! Where did you hide the real letter of accusation?!"

Moina grabbed Heer's chest and roared like crazy, like a beast breaking out of a cage.

At this moment, Lasoro's right hand suddenly grabbed Moina's neck like an iron clamp.

He exerted force with his hands and pressed Moyna heavily against the wall.

"Wow!" Moina's neck was pressed down tightly, drooling from the corners of his mouth, and his legs kept kicking around.

Lasolo did not move at all. He turned his head and looked at Hull with his empty eyes: "Officer Hull, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you."

"Hehehe...it's my pleasure!"

Looking at the burly man with a happy expression on his face, Moina's face turned red because he couldn't breathe, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"La...La Solo...you...what are you doing?"

"You...you bastard! I should be the one asking this question! How dare you, a bastard, be rude to Lord Helheim! Scumbag...there is no doubt...you are a scumbag...right...Lord Hel...Political Officer Moina is a scumbag...right?"

Lasolo seemed to be crazy, repeating the word "scumbag" in his mouth.

He kept grabbing Moyna's neck and smashing his head against the wall.

There was a loud noise of “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Crazy... This guy Lasolo is absolutely crazy!!!

Why did he side with Helheim...

What is going on... Has this guy Lasoro decided to betray Minister Goering and Lord Noor Gana? !
