Doomsday Code

Chapter 551: If the King Is Not Discreet, He Will Lose His Ministers

At this time, Chen Cheng, who was standing next to Huidun, looked at Huidun.

Today, Huidun is no longer immature and has acquired certain skills.

Knowing to take advantage of this opportunity, they could directly clean up the guild, which was outside the law.

All he needs to do today is to lead the city guards through here without arresting anyone, and his goal will be achieved.

Chen Cheng did not blame Huidun for taking advantage of him. After all, he should have thought of this when he asked the maid to complain in advance.

And there is nothing wrong with this. Once the guild opens the door, it will be much easier to deal with the church.

After all, as one of the three major forces, the academy is already deeply tied to the royal family. Now that the guild has voted, the church is the only one left.

Even if Huidun and the others are not strong enough, the guild will still drag the church into it.

The city guards marched past in a mighty force, and then captured several wanted adventurers among the crowd of adventurers.

Some of these guys wanted to run away, while others wanted to resist.

And they didn't even need the city guards to take action, as the adventurer teams that had long held grudges against them subdued them first.

Huidun looked at the adventurers who subdued the wanted criminals, smiled and nodded:

"Remember to come to the Yamen to collect their reward."

Huidun's words eased the somewhat tense atmosphere. After the city guards made a round of inspection, they took the wanted criminals away.

Before leaving, Huidun looked at Hills and said:

"Master, since this is the guild's location, the guild must take on its responsibilities from now on.

From now on, the city guards will patrol here just like other areas in the city. The guild can also send people to patrol here. If they find any criminals, they can arrest them and hand them over to the city guards.

Once the charges are proven, the city guards will still give corresponding rewards."

Huidun was sending a signal that this place would still be the guild's territory, but the largest entity here was not the guild but the kingdom.

If their guild can make its subordinates abide by the law, then the kingdom will not do anything to them, and the kingdom will even deepen its cooperative relationship with the guild.

The signal sent out by Huidun is not aggressive at all. On the contrary, if you look into it, it is actually a win-win situation for both parties.

The kingdom needs a pure guild, and the guild can get support from the kingdom in return, which can also provide convenience to the guild in certain aspects.

After Huidun and others left, Hills also let out a long sigh.

He didn't know whether his concession to Huidun today was good or bad, but their hearts told him that it was not a bad thing.

Then, thinking about what happened with Aunt Mei, he cheered up and decided to go and apologize to Aunt Mei in person.

Since you already have a label, why should you care so much about it?

Besides, Melo was not an unreasonable person. The recommendation letter she gave was reasonable and legal. After all, she cared too much about her so-called reputation.

After leaving the guild, Huidun asked the city guards to take the wanted criminals to the Criminal Department to close the case. He then looked at Chen Cheng beside him cautiously.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Cheng also noticed the strangeness in Huidun's expression, and he thought something had happened to Huidun.

Huidun smiled awkwardly and said:

"Well, what I did today was dishonest. I took advantage of the situation you started without even discussing it with you. It was just that the timing was too good, so I just went ahead and did it."

"Your Highness, you don't need to explain this. On the contrary, it will ruin our relationship."

"And it was reasonable for you to do that just now. The time had come, and it was right not to discuss it with me."

"Your Highness, please remember one thing. If the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers. If the minister is not discreet, he will lose his chastity. Sometimes, your Highness' actions do not need to be explained so clearly. Even between husband and wife and brothers, they have their own little secrets."

"Besides, it was me who asked His Highness to come here today. It is only natural for His Highness to take advantage of the situation."

Huidun nodded after hearing this, and then he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street ahead and said:

"To be honest, I learn a lot of new things from you every time. I'm beginning to suspect that you're a prince from a certain country who's been stranded abroad."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he was frightened.

I was thinking in my heart, your vision is too narrow, how could he be a prince of a kingdom?

Chen Cheng also discovered that although he was not a high-ranking official in his previous life, given the level of information disclosed about his previous life, some seemingly ordinary words were actually famous sayings about the kingly way and the hegemonic here.

Before, he could still use the skin of a slave to cover up, but now that the slave relationship has been terminated, coupled with his own actions, it is obvious that this skin can no longer cover up.

No, he had to find a way to change his identity and leave here.

Otherwise, if someone really investigates it thoroughly, he can't guarantee that he won't be exposed.

Following Huidun back to the Prince's Mansion, Chen Cheng said goodbye to Huidun and returned to his own courtyard.

At this time, the little maid was standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for his return.

Seeing Chen Cheng appear, the little maid immediately ran up.

"Master, is everything alright?"

Chen Cheng rubbed the little maid's head and said:

"Don't worry, the master is fine."

Then Chen Cheng looked at Dou Mu who was standing behind him.

"Alright, alright, Master, it's alright. Master still has something to discuss. Please go back to your room first."

The little maid nodded, then bowed and left.

After she left, Chen Cheng looked at Dou Mu.

"Why are you here?"

Dou Mu raised his eyebrows and said:

"Dou Mu is your employee now, so naturally I have to protect you."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he laughed and said:

"Really? Then why didn't you go to the guild with His Highness just now?"

Doumu explained:

"The mission Doumu just received is to guard the maid, so until you come back, boss, I will only guard the maid."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he knew that this was a cunning guy.

However, Chen Cheng did not dislike his cunningness, but laughed and said:

"In that case, I can't hire you to come here and eat for free. You can be the captain of the guard team of the King's Capital Dojo. The monthly salary is fifty gold, and the five insurances and one housing fund and the year-end bonus and performance reward are not included."

Doumu didn't know anything about the five insurances, one fund, or year-end bonus, but he accepted the monthly salary of 50 gold.

This was a high-paying job, so he naturally agreed.

Just when Chen Cheng was about to send him away, he suddenly remembered that he had never heard of any guard team in the dojo before in the guild.

"Um, Boss, let me ask you a question, how many people are there in my escort team?"

"Well, I forgot to tell you, you're alone right now, and your teammates are still waiting for you to recruit them."
