Chapter 558: Chapter 381: A Clever Plan to Protect the Foolish Monarch_1

Early the next morning, as the palace gates opened and the ministers were preparing to enter the court, they saw the people of the Imperial City Department rushing in with anxious faces.

Last night, Hassan, the Central Prison, and the capital garrison had been searching overnight. The nobles in the capital knew what had happened, and they were secretly shocked: someone really dared to touch the tiger’s ass! Killing Lord Porter at this time was a bold crime!

There were also a few outspoken ministers with solemn faces, but in their hearts, they had a sense of satisfaction that they couldn’t put into words. Their thought process went something like this: His Majesty has really gone too far this time— to some extent, the person who secretly carried out this action was a "righteous man"— how could the old husband have such a thought? He did, after all, defy the laws of the court. If he were to run into the old husband’s hands, he would be handled impartially— if the punishment could be negotiated within the scope of the court’s laws, it would be better to give a lighter sentence.

There were many sycophantic ministers who took delight in disaster: His Majesty didn’t use us but chose Evans Graham and Lord Porter instead, and they both messed up their jobs, haha! If I were being used, I would definitely make the emperor and his subjects rich!

After receiving the report, the Emperor was indeed a bit afraid in his heart for a moment: someone dared to kill my servant? There are really fearless guys in the world.

Following that was boundless anger: how dare they touch the people I sent?!

Nevertheless, to some extent, Master Lane and Owen Bertram achieved their goal, making the Emperor understand that there might indeed be a kind of person in the world who dared to "cut off his own head and pull down the emperor." He will act more cautiously in the future.

However, during the subsequent imperial court meeting, the Emperor’s anger erupted, and in front of all the ministers, he broke a piece of the Imperial Inkstone, and had Hassan publicly beaten 120 times, leaving his flesh exposed and bloody, almost unrecognizable.

Colby Dominic was spared from this humiliation only because he belonged to the Sixth Great Realm.

His Majesty’s government departments vowed in front of His Majesty that they would solve the case within three days. After the court meeting, the Emperor ordered Abner Lane: "You stay!"

"The order is received."

After all the ministers had left the hall, the Emperor asked sternly, "Do you have a subordinate named Owen Bertram?"

"Indeed," replied Abner Lane.

What angered the Emperor the most was not that his close slave had been killed, but that the four Fifth Great Realm officials who had escaped arrest had taken with them all the Spirit Jade that Lord Porter had seized this time!

Time and time again, it never ends! Is it really so difficult for me to make some money?! He needed to vent his anger, and unfortunately, Owen Bertram, who had been on the Emperor’s radar twice, was about to become the punching bag for his release.

"How is his character?"

Abner Lane bowed his head and said, "Owen Bertram is loyal and diligent, a capable man, and truly devoted to His Majesty, always expressing that as a subject, his duty is to share the burden for the emperor..."

The emperor slammed the table in anger: "Nonsense! This Owen Bertram is disrespectful to his superiors and arrogant. I order you to arrest him immediately and investigate him strictly!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Abner Lane was at a loss for words and didn’t understand why Owen Bertram had incurred His Majesty’s hatred so much. For a moment, he even suspected that the Emperor had learned about Owen’s involvement in the assassination of Lord Porter—but soon, Abner Lane dismissed this guess, for no other reason than that he knew the Emperor before him was not that perceptive.

"You are not allowed to plead for your subordinates. This is the Emperor’s decree! If you don’t do it, I will replace you with someone capable!"

Abner Lane put on a sincere and frightened expression: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I would never dare to disobey, but I have a memorial here that Owen Bertram asked me to present to Your Majesty. I beg you to make a decision after reading it, and I promise that Your Majesty will not be disappointed."

Well, the boss and the subordinate were both like actors.

Abner Lane presented the memorial, and a eunuch took it and gave it to the Emperor. The Emperor opened it with suspicion and scanned a few lines, then his expression changed. The eunuchs around him were puzzled: His Majesty’s face actually showed joy?

Officials throughout the imperial court knew that when His Majesty was angry, it was difficult to appease him. How could a memorial turn anger into joy this time?

After reading the memorial quickly, the Emperor even doubted whether he had read it incorrectly, so he carefully read it from beginning to end again before laughing heartily, "What the minister said is right, this Owen Bertram is indeed a loyal and diligent, capable minister for sharing the Emperor’s burden!"

The eunuchs were confused: ???

Clapping the memorial in his hand, the Emperor said, "He did a great job in this matter. I misunderstood him before because I listened to the slander of villains."

Abner Lane quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"In that case, let him handle this matter. You bring him into the palace as soon as possible so I can discuss this matter with him in detail. Tell him that if the matter is successful, I will not be stingy with my reward!"

"I will follow the order!"

...

Hassan returned in misery, viciously beat the arrest team, and blamed them for ruining his job. Having found no clues for so long, he scolded them for being useless and causing him trouble.

Colby Dominic was also enraged, forcing his subordinates to take extreme measures to find clues. He could see at the court that if he were not from the Sixth Great Realm, he would have been unable to escape those 120 beatings! Even so, he was still scolded by His Majesty, which was humiliating for a Sixth Great Realm official!
