235 Minister of Justice

The rustling sound of the friction between the quill and the parchment was born in a quiet room. Lines of black fonts that emitted the smell of ink gradually occupied the light yellow parchment surface, and finally stopped at the signature position.

After the red stag seal was stamped, Lan Li laid the newly written letter on the desk in front of the window, then picked up a heavy book on the laws of the seven countries next to him for a while, and he stood up and picked up the already-spread letter and walked out the door.

This was the sixth day after Lan Li arrived at Junlin. During this period, in addition to reaching a preliminary cooperation with the Red Robe Girl, he was mainly busy preparing for his next job in Junlin. Although Lan Lili's suddenness was due to the Dorn incident, there was nothing to do on Dragons, so he did not plan to go back.

He even wrote this letter now, preparing to call his follower Tobu, who was on Dragon Stone Island, and at the same time let him bring some "seeds".

That's right, Lanli did not bring those power seeds to rule the land, but hid it in Dragon Stone Island. No one except him and Tobu knew where it was hidden.

After learning about many hidden dangers that night, Lan Li thought he had to prepare for some possible situations in the future, so the idea that he had already had emerged again - he was going to strengthen the battle, or survival ability of his relatives and allies, so as not to be killed unconsciously.

...

The Red Castle was still full of liveliness at this time, with servants and clerical officials from various departments - this royal castle is not only the residence of the royal family, but also the power center of the seven kingdoms.

Many people greet Renley on the way, and he would nod politely until he reached a bachelor's tower in the southeast corner of Red Fort that looked no different from other towers.

"If you want to talk about normal situations, well, I will be able to go to Dragon Stone Island tonight. This is mainly because I have good abilities in this regard."

In the spacious room, Grand Secretary Paichel sat upright behind the desk and slowly said to Lanli: "I am especially good at training ravens. In fact, Lord Lanli, my training results are very effective. Those noisy little guys never want to stay outside for even a quarter of an hour. Of course, Lord Lanli, there are also unexpected situations among them, but this situation is relatively rare. The main reason is that each raven has different personalities, but they look basically similar. When they are older, sometimes I can't tell them..."

Perhaps it was because of habit, the man in front of him could not help but make a long speech when he spoke. However, Lan Li had no urgent matters at the moment and did not urge him. He did not speak until the other party finished his speech that he was still unsatisfied.

"I've finished reading this book, Bachelor of Pychill, do you have any other suitable recommendations?"

He said as he pushed the big head on the desk in front of him forward.

"As for the law, uh, I think you've read almost all of them."

The old man with white beard said thoughtfully: "But the duties of the Minister of Justice also include managing the prison and the capital garrison, so I suggest that you can learn about this kind of knowledge next."

Lan Li nodded when she heard this, and then asked casually.

"Do you have any new discoveries about my brother's hair color problem?"

"I think that must be a weird witchcraft."

The Grand Secretary said without hesitation: "You know, Lord Lanley, the wise Majesty Robert signed a search for those pagans. They must have come to exert revenge, so I once suggested that we should strictly protect His Majesty's safety during this period. At the same time, I also think that re-searching the Red Fort is a necessary measure. Shortly after Prince Joffrey was attacked, His Majesty..."

...

There have been constant problems in the Red Fort recently. Shortly after the prince was attacked, King Robert, who had black hair, suddenly turned into a fat blonde man after a dinner party. As soon as this situation occurred, it immediately caused panic. The person involved was also confused about it. After washing over and over again under the attendant's service for a while, he did not change the color of his hair. So His Majesty the King believed that someone must have used some witchcraft to plot against him.

Others agree with this speculation.

This speculation is in line with the current environment. Due to the continuous and unique events in various parts of the seven countries in recent years, the people in the King of the King have already gained a certain understanding of things like witchcraft and magic, or they no longer have no understanding of it as they once did.

Pagans are usually proficient in a few special magic tricks, blooming flames out of thin air, and becoming living people. Over the years, they have been used to fool people in various parts of the seven countries.

So without any clues, this incident was characterized as a revenge of the pagans. His Majesty the King was very angry, and even the ruling of the disciples' clearance and searches were even more serious.

He obviously couldn't imagine that the culprit of all this was his younger brother, and he wouldn't understand what Lan Li was like for such a purpose. Every time he met, he still looked happy, which made Lan Li feel inexplicably ashamed.

However, he was concerned about the overall situation and thought that it would not be a big deal to temporarily put his brother in a while - he had been wronged for many years anyway.

...

After chatting with Grand Secretary Yu for a while, Lan Li searched in the library of Red Fort for a while, and finally returned to his room to continue reading with an essay book written by a minister of justice a hundred years ago.

Robert was already ready to make Renli the Minister of Justice, but this required him to have a certain knowledge reserve. At least, he had to be familiar with the laws and customs of various parts of the seven countries.

However, this is not a very complicated thing. Firstly, when he was in the river bay, he never saw Duke Metz hold a trial, and secondly, the general laws in various parts of the seven countries are basically unified and relatively simple.

Stealing and chopping hands, strong chopping and hanging, ordinary minor crimes are determined to whip or severe limbs based on the experience of the trial record. Otherwise, they are simply sent to the Great Wall to be a "labor reform criminal", regardless of the size of the crime.

Of course, this is a judgment on ordinary people. For the nobles, they can be sentenced to a war trial to get rid of their crimes. For minor crimes, they can be exempted from punishments by paying fines. The treatment in all aspects is simply like heaven and underground than ordinary people.

For Renli, his main task is to read the trial records left by his ex or ex's ex, and then give advice based on these experiences when King Robert holds the trial, but it is not certain whether the king listens to these. In other words, how to rebel depends on the king's mood and thoughts at that time.

In short, the job of this Minister of Justice is very easy.

But ease does not mean it is not important. As one of the seven members of the Imperial Council, the Minister of Justice is a core important minister of the kingdom. He can participate in various important government decisions and can also learn about the situation in various parts of the kingdom as soon as possible.

For example, half a month after that banquet, when Lan Li was officially appointed as the Minister of Justice for the first time, he heard something that interested him.

"The Duke of Tully believes that the death of Marquis Wade Frey in Twins is not simple."
