Winter in Victoria warmed up again, and the warmth was more like a warmth that came from the hearts of the infected.

...

If the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in the south is a candle in the snowy night of the infected, then the Special Operations Division of the Inspectorate is the light of the righteous path at this moment.

Affected by this purge turmoil, after the resumption of work, the major factories in the north have invariably increased the wages of infected workers and investigated potential safety hazards in production.

Some of the most dangerous jobs are also subject to special allowances and personal insurance.

.....

This is a good thing, the infected no longer only need to find a candle to keep warm at night, but during the day, they can also raise their heads and enjoy the warmth of the sun just like ordinary people.

Of course, Xia Feng did not blindly complacent about this achievement.

The capitalists will not be pleased by the smile of the "slave", because this smile is based on the premise of the loss of their interests.

Ordinary people living in the Northern Comfort Circle are not happy about the change, for whom the infected are synonymous with danger.

As the living standards of infected people improve, they lose the sense of security that arises from their sense of superiority.

The whole of Victoria is peaceful on the surface, but the psychological activities of each class, Xia Feng knows it.

But it doesn't matter, it takes a process to change ideas, as long as you stabilize your footing in this critical period, establish perfect laws and regulations, and nail this form completely like a nail, then people will slowly accept it.

The livelihood guarantee of infected people can increase their enthusiasm for work, because the contradictions are diluted, and they are more willing to cooperate with official arrangements, such as code of conduct, anti-transmission treatment of corpses after death, various criminal behaviors caused by life oppression, and so on.

In this situation, Xia Feng felt that as long as he could contain all kinds of "accidents" in time and not take them lightly, then, in two months at most, he would be able to comprehensively improve the current situation of infected people in this country.

....

Capewamy was not really angry because of his "offense", and as the Inspector General of the Empire, he also understood that Xia Feng was not targeting him, but "killing chickens and making an example of monkeys", and used this behavior to show a strict attitude.

Therefore, Xia Feng has received great support within the Supervision Office.

Inside the office.

Xia Feng had a knife holder on his desk, and on the knife holder lay a shining golden knife.

This golden sword was the reward given by Princess Verin on behalf of the royal family after he won the sword fighting competition.

With this golden sword, which symbolizes the authority of the royal family, all the high-ranking officials of the empire who came to visit and wanted to go through the back door swallowed back the words that they had practiced countless times back into their stomachs.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the office door.

Xia Feng looked up from the papers on his desk.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open and a communications officer from the Office of the Ombudsman stood in the doorway.

"Director Xia, the Yuan Council has just issued a notice asking you to attend the temporary meeting this afternoon."

Xia Feng looked at the time, it was almost noon now, and he still had a lot of investigation reports on hand that he hadn't read.

"You can help me reply to Speaker Levle, and say that I am busy with work, so I will not participate this time."

The correspondent continued, somewhat embarrassed.

"The notice says that you must attend this time, saying that there is something important."

Xia Feng frowned.

", every time I say that there is something important, it's not an excuse to convene, I'm really busy this time, you can go out."

The correspondent had no intention of leaving, but continued.

The notice said..... Chief Yarlin will also attend. ”

Xia Feng just lowered his head and was about to sign the investigation report, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice.

"I see, I'll be on time for the afternoon meeting."

"Okay, Director Xia, then I'll retire."

....

As the chief executive of the Empire, Arrin would not casually attend the regular meetings of the Yuan Council, and for Arlin, that kind of discussion was a complete waste of time.

The fact that Yarlin was willing to participate this time shows that there is a very important matter to be decided at the meeting.

After finishing the work at hand, it was already past noon, and Xia Feng didn't even eat lunch, and went directly to the Imperial Administration Building.

....

Inside the conference hall.

Because of the early arrival, there were not too many people in the hall at this time, of course, this meeting was held temporarily, relatively, and it would not be the same as the number of people in the regular meeting.

In other words, unless they were notified in advance, the nobles of the south would not be able to catch up anyway, and the members of the Yuan Council who could be present today should all be the nobles of the north.

After Xia Feng entered the door, he greeted several collegial officers as usual.

"Lord Bida, Lord Kull, it's so early."

However, neither of the two collegial officers showed the usual enthusiasm, but only replied perfunctorily, "Lord Xia Feng, sit down", and ignored him.

Xia Feng didn't think much about it, it was all because these two old guys were delayed from taking a nap, and they were not in a good mood.

Glancing at the conference hall, he quickly spotted Marenleg.

Walking up to him and sitting down, Xia Feng tidied up his black Supervision Department uniform, and asked casually.

"Hey, what's going on today?"

Marenleg is the son of Marenleaver, and as a member of the Chairman's family, he will surely know something about the meeting.

Xia Feng's tone was very relaxed, but Marenleg's face was a little solemn.

"Xia Feng, today's topic may be a little troublesome for you."

"Oh? What a hassle. ”

"I'm not sure exactly what it is."

The summer breeze is a little inexplicable.

"If you're in trouble with me, is someone trying to remove me? What's the matter, if you don't let me do it, I won't do it, just go back to the south to retire. ”

His words were a joke, but Marenleg did not cooperate, but continued to say worriedly.

"As far as I know..... Today's discussion is about the infected. ”

Xia Feng's face was stunned.

"Infestation?"

"Well, but I don't know what the decision is."

......

Soon, more and more members of the Yuan Council rushed to the conference room, and the time for the meeting was approaching.

Xia Feng looked left and right, and as he expected, all the nobles who came today were from the north.

When Speaker Ralph walked through the door, he was followed by a man of great stature.

This person wears the same black uniform as Xia Feng, but the brim of his hat and the identification of his chest represent his identity, which are the highest in the entire Supervision Office.

Xia Feng didn't expect that Capewamy would also come!

As the head of the Capetian family, a first-class nobleman in the north, Capewamy is naturally also a collegial officer, but because of his position as inspector general, he rarely attends regular meetings of the Yuan Council.

It was clear that the meeting was not just a discussion, but a decision, and that it required the cooperation of OIOS.

....

At this moment, Xia Feng had a faint uneasiness.

His rank is not low, he is the head of the Special Operations Division, and if the issue is related to an infected person, it is impossible for him not to be aware of it in advance.

But now that he was completely ignorant of today's meeting, there were only two possibilities.

First, everyone hid it from him.

Second, it's against him at all.
