  More than haft of the people in the hall go out, they come back long time later, when I 'm cheerful to watch their distorting faces and twitched shoulders, I find out that Feshert gives me a look... I stop and take a look around, after all, the dean of the Royal Institute goes out too.

  I look at Feshert sincerely and think on my mind, "what do you want me to do?"

  "Get him, or you'll get smack for..." Feshert stares at the ceiling straightly, but the idea certainly goes to my mind clearly.

  "Got it!" I don't post any doubt about this suggestion. I turn around and walk out, while I am looking for my target, I'm thinking what should I do too.

  Come out of the hall, there are all levels of officials laughing on the way. I don't care the friendly of hatred eyes project on my body, I find the dean of the Royal Institute at a corner.

  The old man stands in the corner and faces to the elegant stone relief, as if he is trying to seek out the mistakes in his language earlier. Never in the notice that I give the gestures to the palace guards to block the people coming to here.

  "Something wrong?" I walk to behind and hear that he's muttering to himself, "I don't have any wrongs in my words? Is it the tone? Why don't I feel myself that way?"

  "I have heard that you have three sons?" I whisper in his ear, "all are your proud?"

  He is shocked suddenly, his body has a quiver, and he turns around to look at me.

  "You don't need to know about my family." he says, "Goodbye, Your Excellency."

  Seeing nobody around, I take hold of his arm, push him against the wall with my body, I take a common pill out of my arms with my right hand, and stuck it into his wide-open mouth because of frightened, and then give his throat a pinch.

  "How it tastes like?" I am sure that he has already swallowed it down.

  "You you... What did you give me to eat?"

  "A very common... That kind of medicine."

  "That kind? What's that kind after all?"

  "It's the kind that you will die if you're not obedient... That kind."

  "Is it? Death... Can't scare me off." he straightens the slightly messy clothes, "you finish what you want to do, can you let me leave now!?"

  "Well... You don't need to stare me with this kind of look," I smile happily and say, "I know that only your one man's life is useless to you, so now your family, including your those three sons, all are eating this kind of thing with relish."

  "You!" the dean gnashes his teeth in hatred and say, "you... are very mean!"

  "I have no other ways, who let someone to kick me out of the Royal Institute at first, it makes me lose the chance to have the orthodox noble education."

  "What do you want me to do?"

  "I don't want to get smacked, in addition, I don't want my money penny less." I say, "you come to find a way out."

  In the palace, a corner not far from the toilet, in the sunshine, two shadows are whispering.

  ............

  "I think, or should let the dean to tell the situation at that time!" looking at all the ministers gather at the hall, Your Majesty begins to speak first, "according to retell the exact words, no need to modify."

  "Your Majesty," the dean lowers his head, "I have finished."

  "Kone Cada," Your Majesty says, "tell us, why did you scold the Prime Minister?"

  "Your Majesty," I say, "I don't admit this accusation!"

  "Tell the reason why."

  "Because, I didn't call him the names." I clear my throat, "the first words I spoke to the Prime Minister is: your mother... it seems like that my words are bad language. But everybody please notice, this sentence has a your word in front, so this sentence just I question the Prime Minister for rumors that I heard in the Saint Capital's marketplace."

  “Is that so?” Your Majesty looks at the dean, "what do you think?"

  "Now I remember, viceroy Kone's tone has the character of a question." the dean looks up with the face full of helplessness, "yes, this is a general question, I'm sure."

  "Then... how do you explain the old bird words!" pointing the finger at me, the Prime Minister is shaking.

  "This, I want to apology to the prime Minister first. Please forgive me to call you with the vulgar word. But this also not scold you." I speak to the Prime Minister with smile, "in general, we use the new bird to describe the new coming rookie. It seems that they have no experience. The old bird means exactly the opposite way. I'm praising that you have experiences and techniques!"

  "Well?" Your Majesty asks, "have this kind of statement? Dean?"

  "This means, literally, it seems that it's right to explain it in this way." under the threat of the family's lives, the dean makes all my favor "Grammar" explanation once again. He is the dean of the Royal Institute, if he says it this way, others will be not against him naturally. Only the Prime Minister people look at him with the malicious and puzzle eyes.

  "Is it? Since it's like this, we'll not talk about this any more." Your Majesty says, "who will be the next?"

  "Father," Feshert says, "it should be the expression of the finance minister that he charges on viceroy Kone."

  "Well, finance minister, you can begin now."

  The finance minister has become a "pig head", he walks all the way to the front, and his whole face is almost full with bandages.

  "Your Majesty! You see," the dead "pig head" points at his own face with a front hog and says, "I was transferring the money for viceroy Kone, but who knows that viceroy Kone will slam me to the ground and beat me up!"

  "It's not a light harm!" Your Majesty looks over at me, "Kone, what's the matter?"

  "Your Majesty!" I kneel down next to the finance minister, "you give me five hundred thousand gold coins fund, but he corrupt half of it!"

  "What's the matter?" Your Majesty wrinkles his eyebrows and asks, "I don't think that it would happen so?"

  "It's true!" I shout, "I had all the good words, he only gives me two hundred fifty thousand!"

  "Maybe he gives you the two hundred fifty thousand first, and gives you the other half couple days later!" Your Majesty says, "Why do you so impulsive! Beat people again!"

  "It's not like that! The finance minister told me clearly," I point at the Prime Minister, "He will give the Prime Minister the other half!"

  "Pa!" Your Majesty slams his palm heavily on the armrest, "the Prime Minister is the important country minister, you don't blather!"

  "I have not."

  "Finance minister!" Your Majesty has his face color changed, "whether the viceroy Kone tells the truth?! You give the Prime Minister the other half of the money?!"

  The finance minister doesn't expect that things change so quickly, he is scared to have no voice by Your Majesty, he replies long after, "Yes... Yes."

  The ministers are all outcry!

  The same two hundred fifty thousand gold coins, it looks like no difference that repair the Prime Minister's mansion or give to himself. But it is different for the ministers who can pick the bone out of the egg, it is normal for the country to pay for the repair of the Prime Minister's mansion, but it is a corruption to give it to himself! A very simple use of the words, it can produce such the opposite effects unexpectedly. Even now the finance minister can shift saying to repair the mansion, and who will believe him? Heh heh, it's no wonder the way that the dean of the Royal Institute come up with for me, good, it's very useful.

  "Prime Minister," Your Majesty says quietly, "can you explain it to me?"

  "Your Majesty," the Prime Minister says, "I don't know anything about it! I really don't know."

  "You said that it has nothing to do with you?" at this moment, my father finally stands out, "then why the finance minister not give the money to me?"

  "Your Majesty!" the finance minister finally learns, "the money is used to repair the Prime Minister's mansion!"

  “The Prime Minister's mansion has the repair every year!" the Prime Minister says with a loud voice, "who needs you to worry about the money? I think that you just
want to enrich yourself! You still actually dare to private it under my name?”

  My heart "Ge Deng" once! Bad, the Prime Minister is really remarkable, he abandons the wagon immediately just having a look at the situation! It seems that I have underestimated him, he is even willing to give up the finance minister, at least it means that this guy is affordable to put down the things. To play against this kind of guys, I need to be very careful.

  The coming things are developing on the good steps we set, the finance minister's name becomes "the former finance minister" in a moment, he is put into jail and pick a day for his trial. Because the prime minister doesn't know about this, he avoids the investigation.

  "Anyway, it's not so calm these days in the Saint Capital!" Your Majesty's eyes come to me again, huh? How come it harbor some malicious intentions? "What do you think? Viceroy Kone?"

  "Hey hey... I... That... Me..." I have the "ha ha" in my mouth, I think in my mind, gush, whether someone wants to kick down the ladders?

  "It looks like, it's too lookdown at you that saying you're impulsive." Your Majesty's right hand is playing the ring again! It means someone to be goosed if the movement appears on him every time! But it seems now, my situation is not that great.

  "You are madness! Madness on top of the world!" Your Majesty is regardless of gape, he continues to say, "today to beat this one up, tomorrow to beat that one up. If I don't give you some good lessons, perhaps you will break a hole on the sky one day."

  "But Your Majesty," my father says at the back, "Kone he has nothing wrong!"

  "Have."

  "Haven't!"

  "I said have, it will have!" Your Majesty is almost in roar, "he damages my bucket chair in my office today!"

  "Right!" the Prime Minister has both his eyes shined, "destroy the Royal property! Your Majesty can give him the punishments!"

  "That's not my fault..."

  "Somebody come in!" Your Majesty interrupts me, "pull this little bastard down to give him thirty army sticks!"

  "Don't!" I'm terrified, "I didn't sit the chair broken!"

  "Your Majesty!" my father says, "Kone is a civilian, he can't take the army sticks."

  "Your Majesty!" has been dragging out of the door, I hear that the voice of the Prime Minister is in excitement, "you can seal a military position to viceroy Kone!"

  "Then, commands, sealing the viceroy Kone Cada of the Darkness city as..." I have been dragged out far away, I can't hear it clearly.

  ... According to our latent personnel tipsters: Last month, there were a series of farces on in the Empire Spia. The leading role is the country's new noble viceroy Kone Cada, who was expelled from the Royal Institute in earlier years. He is vulgarly rude and no culture. As long as it is a little thing, he is possible to be fury. It makes people feel funny, this person incredibly was punished thirty army sticks with other not so important excuses... To sum it up, we should not spend too much time and energy on this man...
