(The image of the main character is simply too difficult to adjust. If anyone has a better one, you can leave a message for me. We can discuss everything. I'm already sick of looking for the main character's image myself.)）
Early the next morning, Nie Hou let go of Black Eye's soft body in his arms. When he walked out of the room, he realized that the entire room was filled with the fragrance of food. This was a treatment that he had never experienced before.
Blackpupil was the kind of rice worm that would eat as much as he could if there was food, and go elsewhere to find food if there was nothing to eat. Aiders knew how to cook, but after returning from the military camp every day, she spent most of her energy on how to " ambush " Nie Hou at night. Aiders, who had put the chains and collars around Nie Hou's neck, often tormented him for most of the night to no avail. She would only wake up the next day when it was late in the morning.
But today was different. There was a woman at home! A woman who could be considered gentle and virtuous, a woman who could wake up early to prepare breakfast. How could Nie Hou not be excited?
Nie Hou had already secretly decided that even if Shayou was not suitable to be a secretary, he would still keep her at home as a nanny. After all, a man waking up every day to make breakfast for two women who were like rice worms. If he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he had to use English cuisine. His life was simply terrible.
When Nie Hou finished washing up and came to the dining room, he realized that Black Eye, who was supposed to be sleeping in bed, had actually sat down at the dining table and was gorging herself. Moreover, from the speed at which she was eating, it seemed that she was about to finish his bread very soon. Moreover, she was thinking of ways to snatch Nie Hou's share as well.
Sha You, who was dressed in casual clothes, came in front of Nie Hou and said,"Lord Nie Hou, you're up? I made breakfast. Go and eat."
Nie Hou yawned and took out a bunch of keys and stuffed them into Sha You's hands. He patted her soft shoulder and said,""Yawn…it's been hard on you. I've decided that I won't arrange a dormitory for you in the garrison. Shayou, you can stay here. As rent, I'll leave breakfast and dinner to you every day. Because of work, you have to find a place to settle your lunch.”
Then, Nie Hou no longer paid attention to Shayou, who had once again entered a state of infatuation. He sat down at the dining table and began to eat breakfast. If he could not finish his portion as soon as possible, then a portion would definitely be snatched away by Blackpupil. This was the bloody and tearful lesson that Aiders often left behind when he went to the military camp hungry.
Even so, Nie Hou still left a portion of food for one person at a place where Blackpupil could not reach. He knew that Sha You, who had been busy since she woke up, definitely had not had time to eat breakfast.
After everyone had their breakfast, Nie Hou brought Blackpupil and Shayou to the captain's office of the Imperial Garrison Guard.
"Shayou, your job is very simple. Every day, there will be many merchants or nobles who will bribe me with money bags. What you need to do is to collect every sum of money they send and use this pen to record the names of the people who came to bribe me.”Nie Hou pushed a notebook to Sha You.
Although Sha You didn't understand why Nie Hou, who looked like a good person, would take bribes, she still opened the notebook with the words " Judge's Book " on the cover.
The names on the paper were very strange. Some people's names were bright red, while others were pale green. However, after Sha You used the pen in her hand to draw a few times on the paper, she found that there was no trace at all.
Shayou looked at Nie Hou strangely, hoping to get an answer.
Nie Hou smiled and did not say anything. He took the pen and notebook back, flipped to a new page, and wrote Shayou's name on it. Then, Shayou's surprised gaze fell on the originally unmarked notebook, and her name appeared, also emitting a faint green color.
Then, Nie Hou wrote the name of Ernest next to Shayou's name. Shayou had no idea whose name it was, but on the same pen and paper, Ernest's name was so red that it turned purple.
Nie Hou smiled and explained," This pen is called the Judge Pen. This notebook is a companion to the Judge Pen. Every name recorded in it will show a different color according to the person's soul. Green means that the person's soul is very noble. If it's red, it means that the person's soul is full of stains. For a person like Ernest, whose soul is so red that it turns purple, his soul must have fallen to the extreme. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would be cut into a thousand pieces.”
Then, Nie Hou pulled open the left and right drawers of the office desk. All the money bags were placed inside."The money sent by the green name is on the right, and the money sent by the red name is on the left. This money will be used to build welfare facilities such as an orphanage. Shayou, these are the things that I really need you to do now. After all, it's too difficult to find a reliable person, especially in a place like the Imperial Capital.”
Shayou nodded in shock, indicating that she understood what to do.
However, seeing Sha You's submissive look, Nie Hou said with some dissatisfaction,"Shayou, listen up. Since you are in this position, don't embarrass me. No matter who it is, even if the puppet emperor in the palace appears in front of you, you don't have to lower your head to him.”
Shayou, who did not want to disappoint Nie Hou, immediately replied loudly,""Yes, sir!"
This time, Nie Hou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he took out a pile of names from the cabinet."This is the list of the Imperial City's guards. Team A is mine, while Team B is vice-captain Oka's. You need to remember which ones are mine and which ones are Oka's. If I'm not around, you'll need to adjust the distribution of the patrol teams.”
Shayou, who was holding a pile of names, promised Nie Hou,"Understood! Lord Nie Hou."
"Since you understand, then start working here. Blackpupil, come with me. Let's go fishing!"
After hearing Nie Hou's voice, the bored Black Eye immediately perked up. The so-called fishing was to catch the big fish, Night Raid, which was very likely to be his sister's big fish.
"Lord Nie Hou, are you going out now? What about me?" Shayou panicked when she heard that Nie Hou was leaving. She thought that Nie Hou would teach her how to do it step by step, but she did not expect Nie Hou to leave everything to her after explaining it to her.
Nie Hou, who had already walked to the door with Blackpupil, turned around and smiled at Shayou.""Shayou, you stay here and keep watch. Don't worry, even that stubborn old man Bude wouldn't dare to use force in this office. Besides, Blackpupil and I are going to catch a big fish like Night Raid that specializes in killing the Empire's officials and nobles. Work hard!"
Nie Hou and Blackpupil had just walked out of the gate of the Imperial City Garrison Guard when they saw Great General Bude standing at the door with a sour face.
Nie Hou instantly became unhappy when he saw Bude's sour face.""Yo, what brings you here, stubborn old man? Could it be that you want to spar with me?”
Bu De ignored Nie Hou's sarcasm and said stiffly,""His Majesty has summoned Nie Hou, the captain of the Imperial Guard, to the palace to meet His Majesty.”
Hearing what Bude said, Nie Hou was stunned for a moment before he smiled.""Looks like that lowly boar of Ernest can't take it anymore. I want to see what that lowly boar can do. Stubborn old man, lead the way."
Bude's face was so dark that it could drip water. He moved closer to Nie Hou and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,""Minister Ernest has gathered almost all the officials to impeach you. Aren't you worried at all? Although you didn't give me any face at the training ground two months ago, I know that your guards are all elites, and they are different from the vermin of the empire. They really want to protect the empire. If you lose your current position, then the only ones who really care about the empire in the capital are my guards.”
The smile on Nie Hou's face grew brighter and brighter as Bu De spoke.""Stubborn old man, what are you worried about?”
Looking at the smile on Nie Hou's face, Bude couldn't help but feel that he was the center of the world. Everything in the world revolved around him. Whether it was him, Ernest, or the little Emperor in the palace, they were all not worth mentioning in front of him.
"Stubborn old man, do you know? Everything in the world could not be separated from the sun. Even the darkest corner was born from the shadow of the sun. What right did a bunch of bastards who could not survive without the sun have to go against the sun that illuminated the entire world? Let's go!"
Ignoring the stunned Bu De, Nie Hou pulled Black Eye's hand and walked towards the palace.
Looking at Nie Hou's back, Bu De seemed to really see the shining sun, the shining sun that lit up the entire world. He couldn't help but mutter to himself," It seems like Minister Ernest's scheme has no way of succeeding. Because Nie Hou has the right to overturn the entire chessboard and not play, but Ernest doesn't.”
