Chapter 644: Cardinal's Office
readx;
"Get out of the way!" At the moment when Linglong just passed by Cao Ke's side, Linglong's words that were as light as a mosquito's cry but very harsh floated into Cao Ke's ears! Before Cao Ke could react to this, Linglong came to him in a few steps, hugged his fists at the black-clothed people, and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter between us was just a misunderstanding! You go back and tell Lord Qiu Rong that he was ordered to protect the safety of the Lord's Mansion, which I can't control, but the Lord's Mansion doesn't seem to be very good at him!" Or let Lord Qiu Rong transfer you people further away, and everyone take a step back, and save our cardinal office from being caught in the middle, right?"
The black-clothed man at the head scratched his head in embarrassment, and after a long time, he could only hug his fists towards Linglong and Cao Ke, and said, "I don't know what the two adults call yet?...... It's naturally no problem for us to stay away from the Lord's Mansion, but if Lord Qiu Rong asks, can we also use the names of the two to block the anger of Lord Qiu Rong?...... After all, those of us who are subordinates are soft-spoken, and we basically have no choice between those who listen to and who we don't......"
Linglong waved his hand, interrupted the words of the leader of the men in black, and said: "Okay, don't say it, I understand what you mean, if Qiu Rong blames you because you are far away from the lord's mansion, then you can report my name Linglong! Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Linglong?!...... Are you the Chief Inquisitor of the Cardinal's Office, Lord Linglong?" the man in black who was the leader was obviously a little shocked, and hurriedly led his subordinates to bow to Linglong again, not to mention how much reverence there was, and at the same time he also replied in a loud voice: "We will obey the orders of the Chief Inquisitor!"
"Hmm. Linglong seemed to be accustomed to such compliments, but after responding without being salty, he turned around and glanced at Cao Ke, Cao Ke understood, ran two steps and followed Linglong, and the two of them swaggered through the crowd of people in black, all the way to the west of the city, which was well versed in the city.
On the surface, the Dead World is no different from the Living World, with classes, bureaucrats, cities, and even intrigues among each other, but in terms of popularity, it really can't be compared with the Living World! He is well aware that the city is already the largest city in the Dead World, but when he walks on the street, except for the occasional one or two crystal people passing by, he can no longer see a single movable thing! The huge streets seem empty, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling! It's as if someone in the dark is constantly reminding you that this is the Death Realm, and that's how it should be......
Cao Ke and Linglong walked side by side on the street, gradually losing the curiosity they had at the beginning, and Cao Ke felt more and more that this world of death was very boring! I think that when he first arrived on the mainland of Selmir State, Cao Ke had been impressed by the kind of seriousness that was almost stubborn of the elves! I was amazed at the inexplicable seriousness and depression of every elf city! But those are much stronger than the dead world in front of me! At least the elf city is popular! The streets are also lively! No matter how bad it is, Cao Ke can still appreciate the elf beauties passing by or something! But this death realm is good, it is really worthy of the name, and there is not even a ghost! This makes Cao Ke a little unhappy, and a wave of irritability inexplicably rises in his heart.
This kind of irritability is from the inside out, and there is no need for Cao Ke to deliberately cover it up, so it didn't take long for Linglong on the side to notice that something was wrong with Cao Ke, and turned his head and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"Of course I'm uncomfortable!" Cao Ke said angrily: "The name of your dead world is really quite appropriate!
Hearing this, Linglong shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said, "I can't help this, I can't call all those wandering ghosts in the dead world to you to perform for you in order to make you laugh, right?"
"Hey, I'm wondering!" Cao Ke said suspiciously, "Aren't you in the Dead Realm claiming that there are a considerable number of Rotten Bodymen?" the number of people who pass through the Nai He Bridge is limited every year, and most of the Rotten People have to stay in the Dead Realm, waiting for the day when they pass through the Nai He Bridge. After accumulating like this, there are not hundreds of millions of rotten people, but tens of millions, right? Where have they gone?"
Linglong replied very naturally: "What kind of place should you know what kind of place is the city? Is it the place where those despicable rotten people can move freely? Believe it or not, if you weren't wearing this robe, with the logo of our cardinal's office on it, and you wearing a hood, no one would have been able to see the appearance of your rotten person, someone would have jumped out to block your way, interrogated you carefully, and then escorted you to the outer city of the city!"
"Oh?" Cao Ke said as if he had an understanding, "Is it because the Crystal People look down on the Rotten People that they have built the Profound City into a structure like the Inner and Outer Cities?
"That's right!" Linglong said confidently: "That's it! Don't feel that there is any fairness or injustice here, if you want to survive in the death world, this is the rules and regulations you must abide by! Where is absolute fairness in the heavenly realm, the living realm, and the death realm? If you really have the ability, even if you are a rotten person, the death realm will accept you, and finally give you the noble status of a crystal person! Isn't this a kind of alternative fairness?"
"So, put away your senseless, sad and indignant pity as soon as possible! This is the law of the dead world, not your ideal paradise!"
Although Linglong's words were a little ruthless, they also made Cao Ke have no way to refute them! Fortunately, Cao Ke is not a very entangled person, anyway, whether the dead world is fair to those who rot people has little to do with him Cao Ke, Cao Ke is too lazy to continue to entangle with Linglong on this issue.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Ke still asked Linglong in a low voice: "What kind of work is your cardinal's office? I see that those few of Lord Qiurong's subordinates seem to have a lot of respect for us, come, tell me, what is the position of the chief judge of the cardinal's office like you in the officialdom of the death realm?"
For this, Linglong didn't hide anything from Cao Ke, after all, letting Cao Ke better understand the Cardinal's Office would also be of great help to Cao Ke's next action to find the Wind Elemental Fragments, so Linglong explained carefully and seriously: "The so-called Cardinal's Office is an authority independent of the major yamen departments of the Dead Realm! Its real duty is to supervise the daily actions and conduct of all the officials of the Dead Realm!"
"Because of the special duties of the dead world, there are hidden dangers of corruption in all the yamen within it! In particular, those yamen who judge the whereabouts of the people after death, and the yamen that allocate the places where the reincarnated people go, are the objects that some people with good intentions want to bribe with them! This has been an important problem that has plagued the major government monarchs for a long time! Because this matter is not handled well, the entire Dead World may fall into the quagmire of corruption, and at that time, whether the Dead World still has the need for its existence is completely between the two, and what is there to talk about sustainable and healthy development?"
"For the above reasons, the previous monarch deliberately set up the Cardinal's Office! The Cardinal's Office is directly under the leadership of the major monarchs and is administratively independent, in order to prevent this situation from happening!"
"Oh!" Cao Ke listened to Linglong's explanation, then slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "I understand! Your cardinal's office is equivalent to the Independent Commission Against Corruption in our living world, right?"
"Independent Commission Against Corruption?" Linglong was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Your name is much more appropriate than the Cardinal's Office!"
After a pause, Linglong's face straightened, and he said: "Since the words have been said to this point, I have one thing that needs to be explained to you! There are many things in the Dead World that you don't know or understand, so it doesn't matter, because I will be by your side! Whoever you meet, what you say, you tell me your intentions, and I can relay it at my discretion, can you not jump out without authorization and make some self-righteous comments?"
"Just like those men in black just now, you actually said that our cardinal office has received a complaint from the Lord's Mansion, saying that someone is monitoring every move in the Lord's Mansion?...... I really want to ask you, how big can your brain hole be, and what is the relationship between our cardinals and whether the lord's mansion is under the watchful eye of anyone?"
"Uh......" Cao Ke was asked by Linglong and didn't know how to answer, so he could only argue forcefully: "Okay! Even if I was talking nonsense, didn't those people in black hear it? Besides, didn't you follow my words and continue to extend them later? And told those people in black to stay away from the lord's mansion! Didn't you tell the people in black about it yourself?"
"I have no choice but to follow your wishes to play a round for you, okay!" Seeing that Cao Ke still dared to quibble, Linglong suddenly surged up with a burst of anger, and said sharply: "I can't point out the loopholes in your words in front of those black?......-clothed people, right? Are you a pig? I can't figure out such a simple question?"
Cao Ke glanced at Linglong with slanted eyes, and said, "The question of whether I am a pig or not is very obvious! When have you ever seen a pig as handsome as mine?...... Also, is it useful for you to play a round for me? Those men in black have low positions and don't know the specific responsibilities of the Cardinal's Office, but their boss, Captain Qiu Rong, can't they not know? When those men in black tell Qiu Rong what you and I said, won't we arouse their suspicion and suspicion?"
"Can that be the same?" Linglong estimated that she had been tightened by Cao Ke's anger, so she didn't argue much, flicked the sleeves of her robe, and her figure flashed forward, leaving Cao Ke alone in the same place......
