I Am With You
"Slazov."
"Exist!"
"Notify all high-ranking officials in Terra that a meeting will be held starting tomorrow. The meeting will have no time limit and will continue until all nobles have attended."
"Yes!"
The capture of Malcador sent shockwaves through the entire Terra leadership.
All the nobles knew that the person who came from the Terra Department of Justice this time was not an official, but a mad executioner.
"We must go see the Emperor."
This was the only answer in the hearts of all the nobles.
This new lunatic in the Department of Justice, he even dared to arrest the Chancellor, what wouldn't he dare to do?
Han Mingxuan, working at the Ministry of Department of Justice, was unaware of the nobles' thoughts; he now needed to speak with Malcador.
"Old Ma, how are you feeling?"
"Great! I've never had such a good experience. Thank you so much, Old Han."
"Don't thank me yet. It's fine if you want to rest for a few more days, but I have conditions."
"Just say the word, and I'll do anything for you."
"First, I know that the crimes you've been charged with were all compromises made to stabilize the situation, so I will eliminate all those nobles. You don't need to worry about that."
"Second, you have to work 4 days a month, and you can do whatever you want for the remaining 20-odd days, but you can't be in anyone's sight, otherwise I can't do my job."
"Working 4 days a week?"
"I promised Roboute's mother that he would be allowed to go home for four days each month."
"No problem, deal!"
Twenty-odd days?!
Malcador thinks he could take a year off!
"Also, as the first person arrested by the Department of Justice, you need to keep those guys outside resisting, you know what I mean?"
I understand!
That's so insightful!
Firstly, as long as those guys outside remain stubborn, Old Han's Investigation won't end easily, and as long as the Investigation doesn't end easily, he can continue his vacation indefinitely.
Secondly, only corrupt officials who are stubborn and refuse to admit their wrongdoing can be executed without needing too many excuses!
"I will definitely cooperate with you on that. Also, you can take care of the two children who are with me."
Malcador was referring to the two men who were brought in together.
"Primarch assist me makes things much easier."
"Let's go, I'll make arrangements for them."
The two then went to another Interrogation Room, where two Primarch were sitting.
"We meet again," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.
"Father of Night, this is treason!"
"Hehe, your Uncle isn't an ambitious person, I'm just an Anti-Corruption worker."
"When the two of you were having a get-together at my house, I don't believe you didn't Investigation something."
The two of them stood there, stunned.
Uncle?
"Don't be nervous. Old Han already knows your identities. This time, I'm here to cooperate with him in the Anti-Corruption in the Imperium."
"Originally, I came up with this idea, but given my position here, I can't make any changes, so I had to leave it to Old Han."
"During the upcoming Anti-Corruption campaign, I need your cooperation with your Uncle to gather intelligence and combat crime to the greatest extent possible."
The two were momentarily stunned by what Malcador said.
Did their Uncle already know their identities?
No wonder they left them at the Primarch's table at the party.
"Uncle, thank you."
"We're family, so let's not be formal. Now, can you cooperate with my work?"
"Certainly!"
"Very good. From now on, you will be my most capable intelligence assistants."
Han Mingxuan's words stunned the two of them.
"Uncle, we're intelligence agents. Aren't you afraid we'll keep something under wraps?"
"Haha, whether you ask that question or not, I trust you all. My principle is: if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."
"Moreover, what I said to the Emperor at that banquet remains true to this day."
What to say to the Emperor?
The loyalty of the Primarch needs no instruction.
This is an immense trust!
As intelligence agents, suspicion and scheming are the norm.
But Han Mingxuan gave them what they needed and longed for most.
Trust!
Thank you for your trust, Uncle.
"Haha, so here comes your first task."
After Han Mingxuan finished speaking, Malcador immediately wrote a letter.
A letter to the nobility.
The document contained several thousand words, written earnestly and without falsehood.
In conclusion, it can be summed up in one sentence.
Although I am in prison, I am with you!
You have followed the Emperor with me from the Age of Conflict to the unification of Terra, and now to the Great Crusade.
I am your brother, as close as blood, and you are allies to whom I can entrust my back and soul.
Although I am in prison, I have never forgotten the vow I made!
I am with you!
"Hey! Prime Minister Ma! A man of unwavering integrity!"
The nobles who saw the letter felt reassured.
At the very least, Prime Minister Ma won't budge, which gives them a lot more room to maneuver.
"Come! Follow me to meet the Emperor!"
The grand procession of Terra nobles entered the Throne Room, where they needed to explain the situation to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty! We cannot allow that old bat from the Planet of Eternal Night to run rampant."
"Yes! He dared to arrest even the Chancellor without anyone noticing, what else wouldn't he dare to do?"
"That's right! If this continues, who else will he arrest? The Adeptus Custodes?"
Rumble.
Endymion pushed open the doors to the Throne Room.
Han Mingxuan walked in slowly.
Ever since A Fa sent out the letter, these guys' every move has been under his watchful eye.
So today marks the first time he has met so Terra dignitaries in an informal setting.
Therefore, Han Mingxuan rarely wore the same clothes he had worn when he first came to Terra.
"Oh, everyone's here, including the great Emperor. That's perfect."
"Arrogant! How dare you treat the Emperor with such disrespect!"
Hehe.
"Your Emperor, I've come to demand my release."
VIP?
Has he gone mad?
They just arrested the Chancellor, and now they're demanding his release from the Emperor?!
Who do you want?
"The Adeptus Custodes squad, the most elite of them all."
"Alright, I'll have Valdor in charge of deploying them."
"Clear."
Han Mingxuan nodded and swaggered away with Endymion.
The nobles' first reaction was that the Emperor had been bewitched!
That's right!
That must be it!
Others might think it's impossible, but they know it's true.
In the distant Old Terra era, the technologically advanced barbarians and Psychic Power wizards employed countless methods, and the Emperor could very well have been framed by such tactics!
We must find a way!
"By the way, the meeting invitations and notices will be sent out tomorrow. I hope everyone will be on time."
Han Mingxuan left the place and looked at A Fa, who was waiting in the shadows.
"A Fa, have you written down all the names?"
"I've written it all down, Uncle."
He didn't know why his Uncle called him A Fa, but it felt very warm and familiar to him.
Can the charges be proven?
"Sure."
"Very good, give the List to Slazov, he knows what to do."
"Clear."
