"Are you sure the actions of the Naxos inspectorate violated the law?" Antonios asked again.

"Of course! There are many laws in Dionia, but I have been reading them for years and I can recite many of them. To be honest, I think I can be qualified for the position of the highest judge." Rao Di Xian said slightly braggingly.

"Okay, I'll talk to Tritod Moss." Antonios finally nodded in agreement. For this reason, he could also speak to the judge who had been in office for more than ten years.

"One more thing, Antonios." Lao Dixian added: "It is September now, and Stromboli’s term should end soon. We should now elect Naxos as soon as possible. The successor of the Chief Executive! I heard that the Asistes family just left here, how are your discussions?!"

Hearing this, Dolin looked at his husband slightly worried.

Antonios looked at Raodixian, who was urgent and casual, but what came to his mind was what Asistes had said before, and he was a little bit disgusted inexplicably. He said irritably, "Pa Fergus has made such a big thing, and whether it can be solved in the end is still a problem. You still want to worry about the candidate for the chief executive of Naxos. My father-in-law, your heart is too big! Can we decide on the candidate for the chief executive of Xosos!"

"If the chief executive of Naxos is someone we are familiar with, my home in Naxos with a few other elders will be better. You can see that Stromboli has been in Naxos in recent years. What Soth did is completely incomparable to when you were there. We are also worried that the order of Naxos will be messed up, so we want to choose a familiar veteran and won't mess around in Naxos... Let's talk about the election. The Chief Executive has always been the most important matter for the elders of our Senate. Only we know things about Sicily, and other elders generally won’t compete with us, right?” Raodixian retorted confidently.

"You are so stupid!" Although there had been a quarrel with Asistes before, it was not without vigilance for Antonios, so he looked at the contented Laodixian and finally couldn't help but cursed:" Who do you think you are, King Dionia! All the candidates for city chiefs must be appointed with the permission of His Majesty Daves. In the past, he did not speak during your election. I'm afraid it was because he felt that he did not. Necessary, but this time... you must know that he hates citizen abuse of slaves the most! At this time, you still jump out for your own benefit, what do you think your Majesty Daves would think!"

These words made Raodixian stunned on the spot.

"This...what should I do?!" Doreen asked worriedly.

"Hope your Majesty hasn't noticed this matter about Pavlgaris..." Antonios sighed.

………………………………………

"...Assistus and his family went to Antonius’ house for a dinner..." Daves read the newly submitted information from Alistairs, and smiled slightly: "Aristiras, I said you Are your subordinates too idle, relatives gather for dinner, and you still hold on to such trivial things?"

"Your Majesty, I decided to show this news to you because I thought this news was worthy of attention." Aristilas who stood by the side said calmly.

"Do you think..." Daves raised his head and looked at him with a calm expression, but the majesty he exudes made Aristiras can't help but lower his head slightly: "Then tell me, they are What was talked about at the banquet that made you think there was a problem, eh!"

"This...I don't know." Aristilas replied very directly: "However, I know that during the time when Asistus hadn't returned to Turri, Antonios and Raodi Xi’an... Waiting for the Sicilian elders to choose Asistes to take office in Naxos, and I just received a secret report from Naxos. There was an amazing murder, the son of Raodixian. Paphraphos has a major suspicion and has been detained by the Naxos inspectorate."

"Pafer Grace? It's the young man who caused the scandal at Adoris' school graduation party..." This familiar name reminded Daves of an incident that happened in Turri two years ago. Farce, what happened at the beginning did not shock him like others. After all, he came from a previous life. Energetic young people drank too much. It is also common for men and women to use hands and feet, and it did not cause substantiality in the end. s damage.

"It's him, Your Majesty."

"Why is he involved in the murder this time?" Davers asked again.

Aristilas was busy telling the whole case in detail. After Daves heard it, his face gradually became gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "This son of Raodixian is very courageous, it seems He wanted to leave his name in the legal history of the kingdom, killing six people in a row, unprecedented! If this allows him to escape punishment, what is the meaning of the court of the Kingdom of Dionia!"

"Pop!" Daves slapped his right hand on the desk, making Aristilas' heart tense, and listening to Daves saying: "You said that the Naxos inspectorate is now holding the initiative. Slaves who pleaded guilty, and detained the real criminals, have been dragging the case to close as soon as possible. What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, I don’t know. But Master Stromboli has made several appointments with Naxos’ judge Aldarus, and has repeatedly refused the slave housekeeper of Laodixian’s request to see him, and Nak The priest of Hades of Soth once went to the prison of the inspection station..." Aristilas said cautiously.

"It seems that Stromboli's secret letter is about to arrive again...I want to see what they are doing!" Daves tapped his finger on the back of the chair, lost in thought.

The murder of a veteran's son is actually not a big deal. If you go down with a warrant and ask for a thorough investigation, you can't afford to make a big splash. But through this murder case, Daves saw a deeper question: Why did the Naxos household registration officer fail to discover the problems of the slaves in Laodixian’s house in time, causing the female slaves to be killed one by one (The "Dionia Law" stipulates that the slaves purchased by citizens must also be registered in the urban household registration office. When checking the urban population every year, the number of slaves and health problems must be checked at the same time)? The mountain where the Laodixian family's field is located is owned by the kingdom. Why have the people of Naxos been afraid to go? Otherwise, someone will find the burial place long ago! Why did the members of the Naxos local council intercede to Raodixian’s son when something happened? As a result, Stromboli had to thank the guests behind closed doors! And why couldn't the judge of Naxos work together with the inspection station to sentence the real murderer as soon as possible, instead of delaying as it is now? ...

Naxos has a big problem now! I’m afraid it’s not just Naxos...Daves tapped the back of his chair: After the Great Greece War, Dionia took almost all of the land in Great Greece. However, because of the war, the population was drastically reduced and free land was everywhere. In addition to the new establishment of the Kingdom, many systems need to be adjusted...The backlog of numerous tasks is on him and the Senate, so everyone naturally put their main energy and work focus on the land of Great Greece. After all, this is the foundation of the Kingdom of Dionia. The governance of the Sicilian Territory is relatively relaxed, as long as it remains stable and does not cause major disturbances, and there is no stricter requirement. Therefore, the so-called "Conqueror of Catania" Antonios will continue to do it for six years. The chief executive of Naxos, Antrapolis, a new veteran who has never had administrative experience, also became a chief executive of Katane because of the trust of the exiles of Katane...

Now that the overall situation of Great Greece is on the right track, Daves originally wanted to wait for the end of the Downey War and focus on purging Sicily, but now it seems that this plan is going to be advanced.

"Laodixian...Antonius..." Daves muttered the names of these two men in his heart, suddenly remembering something, and looked up at Aristilas who was standing upright: "Ante Lapolis is still serving as an administrative adjutant in Siriting, right?"

"Yes."

Antrapolis’ administrative path can be said to be high and low. First, he served as the chief executive of Katane, but Katane is a big city after all, with a large population, a large area, complex members, and lack of administrative experience. He soon felt powerless, and even almost triggered a riot. In the end, when he worked in the second year, he voluntarily asked to step down.

Daves Piantaouris succeeded him, and Antrapolis, who was unwilling to take his place, took the initiative to ask Daves to take up a position in order to increase his administrative experience. For such a motivated young veteran, how could Daves refuse, so he arranged for him to serve in the Xiliting, which is under reconstruction: two years of city inspector, one year of city production supervisor, and two years of urban household registration officer. , The city’s agricultural officer for one year, the city’s commercial officer for one year, and now the deputy administrative officer of the city of Siriting, who is mainly responsible for the trade area... It took Antrapolis for eight years to almost eliminate Dioni The main intermediate public office in a city in Asia was held again.

Siliting, a city devastated by war, has gradually become a new jewel in the southern city of Dionian from its decline after the war. It has also benefited a lot. I believe that no one in the Senate will make fun of him as a veteran with no administrative experience. On the contrary, few of the older senators have held so many administrative positions like him.
