Chapter 207: pressure

He has been under house arrest for almost seven days. If he was calm at first, he talked and laughed with people in the military, but now, Leonard's heart is gradually sinking.
Too abnormal. If it is just a simple investigation, the military will not have the right to detain himself for so long. He will be released for up to three days, but now he still has no signs of being released.
Could it have been revealed?
Leonard's first reaction was that the people in the military found the evidence, but quickly rejected this assumption. If there was clear evidence that he was related to the Kingdom of Turin, how could he only be placed under house arrest, the military People in the ministry had long been the one he used to deter Xiao Xiao from the Empire.
Leonard is very irritable. Although he was placed under house arrest, the military only restricted his freedom and did not treat him in any other way, but this also blocked Leonard's sources and made him unable to have a sense of his situation. Good judgement.
I hope Louise doesn't do stupid things!
Leonard prayed secretly for his fiancee.
...
In a few days, the whole iron man in Hansen's army was stunned a lot.
As the person in charge of the investigation at this time, Hanson was under a lot of pressure.
Vals had a good reputation in the small town of Troy. After the accident, the local people talked a lot.
Since the news that Vals was placed under house arrest by the military, Hansen and his staff have clearly noticed that the attitude of the Zhou people has deteriorated day by day. Now, when walking on the street, they must be careful to be spit by passersby. Their situation.
Of course, these are disappearing. As a direct guard of the military department, there are a lot of dirty jobs on weekdays. Face and reputation have long been out of their minds. They may be able to ignore the attitude of civilians, but from The pressure from the aristocracy and businessmen made Hansen overwhelmed.
The aristocracy is okay. After all, as long as the military warrant is displayed, even if the other party is dissatisfied, they can't do anything excessive, but the businessmen are different.
The small town of Troy is located in a traffic area. Although the area is not large, the number of businessmen who come and go is unknown.
These businessmen may be inferior to the aristocracy, but the pressure they put on the military is unprecedented.
Don't get me wrong, these businessmen haven't done anything illegal from start to finish, and even their claims can be justified.
This matter has to start from a few days ago.
Many days of heavy snow have caused disasters in many places, especially a large-scale avalanche a dozen miles away from the east of the town of Troy. The heavy snow flooded the road and completely blocked the commercial road.
Large quantities of goods began to pile up in the small town of Troy, and the roads were not cleared one day. This situation will become more and more eyesight, and even some merchants will lose their homes for this.
There is no other way for businessmen. Naturally, they can only turn to the town office. After all, at this time, the town of Troy always organized people's husbands and guards to clear trade routes.
The demands of the businessmen are reasonable, but the problem is that Mayor Vals is now being held by the military and cannot handle these things at all.
The merchants had no choice but to make troubles where the military was temporarily stationed. For this reason, Hansen had a headache.
Uh ...
The knock sounded, and Hanson signaled a husky voice to the other side to come in.
"Miss Louise, you again."
Since the first communion, Hanson has not allowed Louise to contact Wals, but the town secretary still runs to him every day in order to inquire about his fiance.
"Miss Louise, if you want me to release Mayor Vals, then please come back."
Although the investigation to this day still has no hard evidence, Hanson still believes in the initial judgment.
"Captain Hansen, I'm just here to give you these."
Hanson's face was ugly as he watched Louise put a small stack of papers on her desk.
"what do you mean?"
"These are the official duties of the mayor of Vals on weekdays. Now that he is in custody, you naturally need to do this for you."
"It's ridiculous that the captain of the school is a member of the military. How can he intervene in local government affairs? Take it!"
The military must not do politics. This is the iron rule of the empire. Once it is violated, let alone the military, even the emperor can not stop the saliva of the nobles in those places. Hansen is not a fool. Naturally, he will not touch this easily. High-voltage lines.
Hanson was angry, but Louise didn't begin to count the contents of these documents one by one because of compromise.
"The rise in prices in the city, although it is not obvious for the time being, but there is a shadow of bad traders, if not handled in time, I am afraid it will affect the lives of 100,000 people in the town."
"The slums in the south of the city have been crushed by dozens of houses due to heavy snow, and hundreds of people have been left homeless. If they don't have the heart to die of their cold and starvation, they will start relief."
"Although planting is not the main business of the town of Troy, it still has a bearing on the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people. According to past practice, the matter of seeds and fertilizers needs to be negotiated by the town mayor and businessmen ..."
"The commercial road on the east side has been blocked for five days, and the daily loss is as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. Now many businessmen have lost their way. If they are not cleared in time, the reputation of Troy Town will suffer huge losses, and maybe these businessmen will be in the future. Diversion, no longer use the town as a transit point. "
"..."
Every time Louise said ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Hanson's face was ugly.
Hansen rubbed his aching head. If he could, he really wanted to kick the other person out. After all, what did these things have to do with him?
He is a soldier, he executes military orders, and local government affairs are not under his management. Even if he places the town's mayor under house arrest, is there no other person who can do the job?
The mayor is gone. You can find the deputy mayor and finance officer.
"The deputy mayor is seriously ill, and now he is bedridden. Without the mayor's advice, the financial officer has no authority to transfer money, and his prestige is not enough to convince everyone." Louise said, Blocked Hanson's hopes.
"Now, the town is starting to fall into chaos, Master Captain, you must get an idea!"
Hansen understood it, and Louise talked about asking him to release Vals.
Maybe what she said before is true, but after all, it is just a weight for pressure, but it is very effective.
The military has great powers to seize and investigate imperial nobles, but their powers cannot be expanded infinitely, at least, under the premise of not disturbing the local order as much as possible.
At this point, if Hansen said he had no hesitation in his heart, it would not be possible, but he was really unwilling to end this investigation with such intimidation.
