During this period of time, the Roth Empire was in turmoil. Apart from the Ministry of War, which was at the center of the storm, the Ministry of Law, which specialized in prisons, was also very busy.
All of the prisons in Rodu were packed to the brim. In order to catch the culprit behind the murder of the Minister of War's entire family, almost all of the criminals in Rodu had been thoroughly searched, and many old cases had been resolved.
After the king announced Josh as the culprit yesterday, the burden on the Ministry of Law's shoulders was finally lifted.
Today, the officials of the Ministry of Justice had decided to come out for a drink. They had heard from the people from the Ministry of War that a new tavern had opened on Romo Street and that the wine inside was a rare brew. The group had come with the intention of taking a look.
As soon as they entered, the aroma of the wine was indeed alluring.
However, when they saw the shabby decor, many people frowned, but they still sat down for the sake of the wine.
Aldan was the third-in-command of the Ministry of Law, and he was the one who organized this gathering. Most of the people who came were also his trusted subordinates. After holding back his anger for a few days, he came to drink and relax.
In his opinion, this tavern was a little terrible. The price of the wine was not low, but there were only two or three shabby dishes. Even things like peanuts, pig's ears, and pig's tongue were served on the table.
However, it was Sir Joseph who decided to come to this tavern. As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Law, Joseph had joined them at the last minute, so Aldan naturally couldn't reject him.
However, the service in this tavern was really terrible. There wasn't even a waiter to pour the wine. One had to know that in other taverns, when they saw the group of people enter, the shopkeeper would personally wait at the side to pour wine for them. Hence, his gaze landed on the little girl sitting behind the counter.
Although this little girl was a little young, she was quite adorable. Letting her pour the wine would make the mood better.
Hence, Aldan ordered Amy arrogantly, "That little brat, come and pour wine for us."
Aldan's voice wasn't soft, and many people in the tavern turned to look.
Many people had noticed the boss's adorable little girl just now. She was only three or four years old, but someone actually made such an unreasonable request of her to pour wine.
However, when they turned back and saw Aldan and his group, they all retracted their gazes.
The Ministry of Justice was also feared by many officials in the officialdom. After all, being targeted by them was never a good thing.
Joseph frowned when he heard this. He glanced at Amy, who was sitting behind the counter, and said, "Forget it. She's so young. How can she carry a bottle of wine?"
"Your Excellency, there's no need for pity. It's just a bottle of wine. Since they can't afford a waiter, they should at least find someone to pour wine for us." Aldan smiled and waved his hand. He looked at Amy, who was sitting behind the counter, and said coldly, "Little brat, can't you hear me?"
"Brat? Are you talking about me? "Amy rested her chin on her hands and looked at Alden with confusion.
"Is there anyone younger than you here?" Alden glared.
"Here." Amy picked up Ugly Duckling from a nearby chair. "So you're calling it."
"Howl." Ugly Duckling, who had been dressed up as a red panda, yawned, and continued to sleep on the counter.
When the crowd saw this scene, they all let out smiles.
"Y-you're messing with me?!" Alden's face darkened. No one dared to mess with him in front of so many people.
Amy shook her head with a serious expression. She waved her hand, and said, "You don't look easy to mess with."
Alden slammed the table and stood up. "B * stard! Do you know who I am? "
"Your Excellency, since you're an official, it's not very appropriate for you to make such a request to a child." Meg walked out of the kitchen with a cleaver in his hand. He stood beside Amy and looked at Alden.
Fortunately, Irina wasn't in the tavern at the moment. Otherwise, the folding chair would have sent this fatty, who had quite a bit of authority, to the ground.
The customers in the shop looked at Aldan with disdain. How could a burly official be so rude and unreasonable to an eccentric little girl? How despicable!
Alden was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Meg, and said, "You unruly commoner! We're officials of the Ministry of Law. It's her fortune to be served by wine. Aren't you afraid that I'll shut down your little tavern and throw the two of you in jail? "
"That's right. Do you really think you're something when you run a small tavern?"
"Hurry up and apologize to His Excellency Alden. Otherwise, he'll shut down your tavern. It'll only take a word from him."
A few officials at the same table chimed in. They hadn't seen such an arrogant person in a long time.
When the customers heard that, their expressions changed slightly. They all looked away to prevent themselves from being implicated.
Joseph was a little displeased when he heard that. However, after a moment of hesitation, he still didn't say anything.
Meg pursed his lips. He waved the cleaver in his hand, wondering if he should still keep the tavern.
"Shut down, shut down, shut down your mother!" Right at this moment, a cursing voice sounded from the corner. A fat figure rushed out from the corner. With a smack, he threw a half-eaten plate of cold pig ears at Alden's face.
Smack!
The plate fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The tavern fell silent instantly.
Everyone was shocked as they looked at Aldan, whose face was covered in red oil and pig ears, with a dumbfounded expression.
This was an official of the Ministry of Law. He was of high status and had a high status.
"Sir." The officials at the same table were also stunned. They didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to treat Alden like this in a small tavern.
"This fatty is in big trouble." Everyone looked at the fat man dressed like a rich merchant and couldn't help but worry.
Although he did what everyone wanted to do, he also got himself into big trouble.
"F * ck …" Alden snapped back to his senses and flew into a rage.
"Duke … Duke!" Joseph suddenly stood up and exclaimed at the sight of Abraham, who was dressed like a wealthy man.
"Duke? Sir? " Aldan choked on the words he was about to say. He took off the pig's ear that was covering his eyes and took a good look at the fat man's face. His legs gave way, and he knelt down on the broken plate on the ground.
Duke Abraham!
He was one of the noblest people in the Roth Empire. He was also the king's most trusted and favorite brother.
Although he had almost no real power or position, everyone knew that his position in His Majesty's heart was far above that of the other dukes. When His Majesty was able to become King, Duke Abraham had made great contributions to His Majesty.
Although he was the third-in-command of the Ministry of Law, his position was nothing in front of this duke.
"Duke!" The officials at the same table hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to Abraham.
This duke hadn't been involved in politics for many years, so they didn't recognize him immediately.
"Lords from the Ministry of Law, may I have the honor of pouring wine for you?" Abraham asked with a half-smile as he took the silk handkerchief from the butler and wiped the red oil off his hands.
