Those ministers who were tied up and escorted here were all captured by Kamul during the investigation according to Lin Ke's orders.
They are local officials, because Lin Ke discovered that except for the city of Cairo where loyalty was still rising, the loyalty in other places remained the same.
In some places, there was even a decline!
But the policies implemented by Lin Ke are the same. Although the situations in different places are different, the responses that should be presented should be different in their respective growth.
In some places, there is even a decline in loyalty.
Is this correct?
So, Lin Ke immediately ordered Kamul to go and investigate, and Kamul lived up to Lin Ke's expectations and quickly arrested those ministers.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! We, your subjects! We are wronged!"
"I really don't know what mistake I made!"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, we are honest and don't have much to say. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Hearing this, Lin Ke just sneered in his heart.
The data on the civilization panel doesn't lie.
That is real, objective data that no human can falsify.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke just glanced at the ministers coldly.
"I think you are just old and don't tell the truth much, right?"
"Don't you really know why Kamul brought you here?"
"Come on, Kamul, tell these 'honest' guys where they went wrong."
Upon hearing this, Kamul immediately stepped forward.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
His voice was low: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is very observant. He had already understood this matter long before the ministers noticed it."
"As the Prime Minister of Holy Egypt, I am truly ashamed that I was not able to perceive the problem as keenly as His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Kamul raised his head slightly as he spoke, with admiration flashing in his eyes. “Just like the signs before the Nile River floods, ordinary people only see the calm surface of the water, but only Saint Pharaoh can foresee the changes in the undercurrent.”
"This incident was also the same. When everyone was kept in the dark, His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh immediately discovered the anomaly."
At this time, Kamul's expression changed, his voice changed, and he took out a roll of papyrus.
He continued slowly: "According to the order of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, the workers should be paid more for their hard work."
"This move will benefit the people, and the people of Holy Egypt should praise the wisdom of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"But unexpectedly, there are despicable people who pretend to obey but secretly go against our will and interfere with our work."
As soon as Kamul finished speaking, the faces of two of the ministers became distorted and frightened.
Their breathing became almost visibly faster.
Kamul continued, "After the Holy Pharaoh issued the new decree, the minister praised the Holy Pharaoh for his kindness and wisdom."
"But in reality, he secretly withheld the workers' wages."
"He claimed that 'the grain had been distributed according to the will of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh,' but he hid the grain that should have been distributed to the people of Holy Egypt and distributed it to his cronies."
At this moment, one of the ministers spoke up and interrupted Kamul.
"Sir! Do you have any evidence for what you said?!"
"You can't just make up stories and wrongly accuse...wrongly accuse a good person!"
At this time, Kamul turned his head and gave him a cold look.
Just one glance and the minister gasped.
You know, Kamul always looks kind and steady, and it is rare to see him looking at someone with a fierce look.
Then, Kamul turned his gaze to the papyrus in his hand.
"The evidence is that the guards saw with their own eyes your servants carrying the wheat that the royal family was distributing into the private residence."
"The evidence is that the guards saw with their own eyes that you sent people to disguise the food and transport it to the residence of your confidants."
"The evidence is that I saw with my own eyes that the workers who did extra work did not receive extra compensation for their labor."
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, not only that, this minister even called this move the Holy Pharaoh's strategy, which undermines your reputation for good strategy."
When Kamul said this, the minister's body immediately collapsed.
The minister just immediately banged his head on the floor and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, please spare my life! I was just confused for a moment!"
"I was afraid of poverty in the past! That's why I wanted to hide the food first..."
Lin Ke was too lazy to listen to his excuses and just raised her hand slightly.
Two sturdy guards stepped forward and slapped the old minister hard.
The old minister's body could not withstand such force and he fainted immediately.
Seeing this, the other minister knew that his matter had been exposed, so he simply put his forehead to the ground to express his repentance.
But Lin Ke no longer cared what they said or did.
Because of their actions, not only did the workers not receive the wages they deserved, but they also damaged the reputation of the Holy Pharaoh.
Kamul was not affected by the old minister's reaction. He just continued to hold the papyrus.
"Your Majesty, this man dared to act in your name. According to the law, he should have his tongue cut off and be sent to the copper mine to do hard labor."
Kamul's voice was firm.
"I remember the precedents of the previous king's time: Anyone who falsely conveys the imperial edict will first be flogged thirty times, and then the words 'deceiving the king' will be engraved on his forehead with red-hot copper."
He leaned forward slightly and raised his voice, also to criticize the other ministers: "Or according to the previous judgment, he can be tied to the pillar of shame in the market square for three days and three nights, and let people spit on him."
