Chapter 1858 The Minister's Suspicion
Lin Erdan's words made Qiao Landuo couldn't help but open his mouth.
Qiao Landuo is almost fifty-seven years old this year, and he has been serving as the Central Minister of Security of the Ape Kingdom for almost ten years.
In the past ten years, he has completely understood the work in this position, but he doesn't quite understand what the king in front of him means.
There is a saying that the ape country is not a developed country.
In a country like this, even if there are illegal immigrants, or simply smugglers, they usually don't care.
You can't control one thing, but the other is that those stowaways are often very dangerous!
That's right, think about it, are those people out of their minds and trying to sneak into this country?
Instead of going to a country with a better environment, instead of coming to a country with poor construction and poor environment to smuggle immigrants, is it a bad idea?
So these people are generally people with criminal records.
But what will happen if they catch these people with criminal records?
Repatriation?
It is an option, but the problem is that it takes time and effort!
One or two is okay, but if there are more, it will completely make matters worse for the already tight budget of the ape country's security system!
So gradually, countries like the Ape Country basically turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants.
Unless they dare to commit crimes or cause trouble, they generally won't do anything about it.
But why should the king care about this now?
When he was confused, Lin Erdan said softly, "I know some of the measures we have taken against these stowaways in the past. I actually don't mind some harmless stowaways, or stowaways with a certain value.
After all, they can even become an effective force in the country. But now I have received a message... Oh, at this time, I want to ask, Qiao Landuo, do you know about the Liansheng Sect? "
Qiao Landuo's face showed a look of confusion, "Liansheng Sect?"
It has to be said that Qiao Landuo's expression is quite spot on, with a bit of doubt in the confusion, and a bit of curiosity that wants to know the inside story.
But just when he showed this expression, Lin Erdan felt that his heart was beating at least twice as fast.
In other words, this guy knows about the Lotus Sect, and he knows a lot about it.
In response to this, Lin Erdan smiled and said, "Yes, it is the Liansheng Sect. I think as the Minister of Security, no matter how ignorant you are, you should know this name, right?"
"I really do..." Qiao Landuo's expression changed slightly, and he had already heard something from Lin Erdan's tone.
Then he was sweating profusely.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
That means there is indeed nothing wrong with my expression.
But it goes against common sense!
Even if he doesn't pay much attention to various things, he should still understand the things related to his own job!
Even if you don’t know about organizations like the Liansheng Sect, you should at least have heard of them!
In other words, he just used too much force!
He opened his mouth slightly, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It must be said that he was starting to get nervous now.
He looked at Lin Erdan like this and was quickly looking for excuses.
Lin Erdan held his chin and looked at the person in front of him sweating profusely.
Finally, the man in front of him gave up completely. He moved his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I do know about the Liansheng Sect. However, they have already approached me and want me to make certain arrangements for them.
"
"Oh? Arrangement?" Lin Erdan nodded and made a gesture of invitation, asking him to continue.
Qiao Landuo took a deep breath and continued, "They smuggled more than a thousand Xia people into the Ape Kingdom. Indeed, in normal times, the Ape Kingdom has a large foreign population. After all, we once had cheap transportation with the Monkey Kingdom and the Orangutan Kingdom.
Agreement. But it is still obvious to more than a thousand Xia people."
"They gave you money and asked you to leave them alone?" Lin Erdan tilted his head.
But Qiao Landuo shook his head and said, "No, it's not to leave them alone, but to arrest them all."
"Catch him?" This made Lin Erdan stunned.
Catch them all.
Lin Erdan touched his chin and stood up directly. He walked back and forth in front of Qiao Landuo.
This made Qiao Landuo even more nervous.
He did not doubt Lin Erdan's identity because he knew very well that this was how the King of the Ape Kingdom behaved when he was thinking about the problem.
In the past, the king of the ape kingdom would walk around like this when thinking about problems.
Lin Erdan's footsteps soon stopped, "So which prison are these more than a thousand people in?"
Lin Erdan stared at the other party and asked.
"The Laocheng Prison located on the border." Qiao Landuo said hesitantly, then he glanced at Lin Erdan cautiously and asked, "In that case, should we just kill all these people..."
"No, if they are sent back to the country, they may use other methods to send them back. Well, you can just disperse these people. Break them into different groups and send them to prisons across the country. In this case
Even if they make trouble, they won't make it too big."
Lin Erdan waved his hand, indicating that he could go down.
His conversation with Qiao Landuo just now was all based on "deception". Qiao Landuo obviously said so many things because he didn't know how much Lin Erdan knew.
But from Qiao Landuo's point of view, it felt like Lin Erdan was quite kind to him, and he didn't ask himself what benefits he had received throughout the whole process.
So he left the room with a look of full gratitude on his face.
When he left, he saw that the ministers outside had not gone far. After seeing him leave, they immediately gathered around and started asking Lin Erdan what he had talked about with the minister of security after they left.
In response, Qiao Landuo just shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing, gentlemen, His Royal Highness just talked to me about the recent illegal immigrants and stowaways."
When everyone heard that such a thing happened, they suddenly lost interest.
Just when they were starting to talk about how the king's recent moves were so radical that he was completely different from his previous self.
They saw Sumima walking towards them.
"Oh, Your Highness, you have become even more beautiful!" One of the ministers immediately shouted in the accent favored by the Western nobles.
Sumima immediately responded to this with a smile.
Other ministers also greeted Sumima one after another.
Chapter completed!
