Chapter 580 (1/2)
Fronos is the interior minister of lomosi, a neutral country. Compared with other officials, he can stay in the city Lord's house for a long time. In a sense, he is a person who is close to and trusted by the city Lord, and is also the object of flattery of many people - in fact, he does hold considerable power, except for the serious and rigid guards and attendants, Hardly any other official in the city.
But at the moment, the minister, who can almost be regarded as below one person and above ten thousand people, has also fallen into a considerable degree of dilemma.
It all stems from the theft that suddenly began some time ago.
At first, the prisoners only attacked some nobles. Even if they had any opinions, they were all directed at the security officials in the city. It had nothing to do with him. Naturally, fronos would not ask for trouble to get involved in these things.
Unexpectedly, the prisoner probably succeeded one after another, so that he became a lot bolder and stole it from the city Lord's house.
Even some precious jewels that the city Lord loved in ordinary days were stolen.
That's enough. Fronos immediately arranged for his men to start tracking down the matter.
But I didn't expect that no matter how we investigated, we couldn't find the slightest trace and clue of the prisoner, as if the other party was a shadowless ghost.
It looks like the masterpiece of amazing people with extraordinary power.
But even fronos would not believe that those strange people whose eyes were higher than the top would commit such an ignominious act of theft: as long as they showed their identity and showed their ability, a large number of princes and nobles would invite them to become their guests and even court mages
With the passage of time, there is still no progress in the case.
Although the city Lord hasn't blamed him yet, if there is no change, his political enemies will not hesitate to criticize him, and those who covet his status will fall down.
So the top priority is to find the thief.
Therefore, he even did not hesitate to split a part of his original property and applied to the city Lord for a baron quota as a reward for those who arrested the prisoner.
Anyway, he can intervene in most of lomosiri's affairs. If only a powerless civilian is rewarded, after a period of time and the storm subsides, just find some reason to take the industry back from the other party.
If it is other nobles who finally catch the thief, the lost property will not hurt him, so it should be the investment of the other party.
Therefore, after the mayor sent back the application with the word ”Ke”, fronos made public the reward that seemed to be enough to make ordinary people soar to the sky.
It's not surprising that the responders immediately flocked to it. The rising channels in this era are basically controlled by the nobility. There are few opportunities for uneducated civilians to stand out. It's precisely because of this that this reward will cause an uproar.
I thought it would not be difficult to find prisoners when almost all the people were mobilized. But a week passed in a flash. Although many people enthusiastically reported suspicious people and even lied about prisoner information, they were not the real murderer after verification.
Many thieves were directly sent to the guard camp because of this incident, which boosted the public security atmosphere in lomosi... It is estimated that the most hated prisoner is not the soldiers in the guard camp, but other petty thieves who have been affected by the pond fish
As for the idea of finding a ghost to fool the city Lord, fronos didn't think about it, but whenever the idea floated, he would wisely put it out.
Although the city Lord of his family is not very interested in the management of affairs in the city, he will hardly intervene in the management as long as his men don't make it too bad.
But that doesn't mean they're easy to fool.
In fact, he is smarter than anyone. Although he seems to be lazy all the time, his sleepy eyes that seem to be always bleary can keenly see through everything.
No one has ever been able to play tricks in front of the city Lord.
The reason why fronos can achieve this position is not how high his talent is. In fact, his first two terms are much better than him if he has light theory talent.
