Chapter 61 Chaos in the South
On a heavy rainy night, the city lord, who was ridiculed by the Riwading nobles as "the stupid fat man of Satsuma", led nearly 10,000 troops into Riwading. The commercial city of Riwading, known as the "city of sleeplessness", fell into darkness for the first time.
In the dark night, the bustling streets were empty and there were only teams of soldiers holding weapons shuttled and rushed forward with murderous intent.
A large number of troops flocked to the South Street where the nobles lived. Soon one by one was taken away from their homes by the nobility who were named after the nobility was depressed. Some of them tried to resist and were shot into hedgehogs by the army, and even their bodies were dragged away, leaving behind a shocking pool of blood.
Countless citizens hid carefully behind their windows, with their ears wide open, listening to the neat footsteps of patrol soldiers marching in the streets outside, and the sound of metal shaking of the mail, like a devil coming in the dark night.
Occasionally, a few wild dogs bark, and soon a wailing sounded, and there was no rest. The night was terrible.
This is an unforgettable sleepless night. Citizens feel a sharp sword hanging on their heads. They will be cut off at any time. Together with their own property and heads, they are taken away by this fierce army outside the door. The only thing they can do is hide at home and shake.
This was what the lords liked to do the most in the past, in the name of quelling the rebels, broke into the homes of the residents of the territory, took their women away, took their property away, and finally took their heads away,
Very straightforward, very neat, not even bargaining
But this time, the citizens found that unlike before, except for the noise coming from the South Street where the nobles lived, there seemed to be no noise in the other streets. Some of them were a little braver and lay on the window and looked out.
The street outside was empty and there was no ghost. The shaking cold wind blew away the leaves on the ground and drifted away. The noise just now disappeared without a trace, just like nothing had happened, just a nightmare for me
With the arrest of the nobles in Jiwading City, the Eighth Infantry Regiment that entered the city was left with only two squadrons in charge of the security of each street according to the Fatty's request. Other troops were withdrawn from the city one after another according to the original plan.
Temporary military camp outside Jiwading
Crolisart, who had been busy for most of the night, had just been confused on the wooden board for half an hour, but was woken up by the messenger outside. More than 20 criminals were escorted from the Onitusa Squadron, who was in charge of public security in the city, and the charge was for the attack on the commander of the legion.
This is a serious crime. As the supreme commander in charge of public security, Crolisart had to personally interrogate the trial overnight
The gangster who was brought up turned his eyes and saw Crolisat sitting in the middle of the tent, lying on the ground and shouting with tears,
"My dear adults, I am dark and thin. I haven't taken a shower for several months. I'm not crispy after baking it. The soup is poisonous and tastes really bad. As long as the adults don't eat me, I can tell you everything I know!"
He also took off his clothes, revealing the ribs on his chest. He rubbed them with his hands very hard, and there was a ball of black mud in his hand.
The commander of the Eighth Infantry Regiment, Crolisart looked at the crazy gangster in front of him, and his head was confused.
I have eaten bear's paw, drunk tiger whip soup, and occasionally slaughtered a dog to satisfy my cravings, but when did I eat people?
"What are you doing? Are you crazy in the middle of the night? That bastard tells you, we Satsuma has eaten people. Believe it or not, I will cut you into pieces and cut you into pieces to feed the dog!"
Crowlisart's loud voice scared the gangster to death. Hearing that Crowlisart did not eat people, his pale face was slightly better, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and shouted misunderstanding.
Crolisart only found out after asking that in the intentional distortion of the Jivading nobles, these Satsuma soldiers were monsters who liked to eat human flesh and drink human blood. Otherwise, how could they resist the Kujits who were also monsters.
In addition, Crolisart's thick face, which had just woken up and had a lot of stubble, was like the legendary demon who chose people to eat.
The interrogation went smoothly, and the gangsters who had been scared to death said what age they were stealing things and how old they were to peek at women taking a bath.
"Everything you said just now is true? If you talk nonsense, do you know the consequences?"
Crolisart slapped the manuscript of the recorder, his face was extremely serious. Thinking of the sinister plan he had just asked about was just now, he was sweating profusely.
Suddenly, he pulled out his sword and brought out a sharp sword light. The sharp blade was only one line away from the gangster's nose.
Below was kneeling a gangster wearing high-end fabric. Although Crolisart pointed his nose with a knife, his face turned pale, but his eyes were flexibly circling, and he looked like a slutty man.
He is the head of these gangsters, an important member of the underground forces of Jiwading City, and Richcro, the head of the Jiwading City Branch of the Rogue Alliance, the thieves' Alliance
"The little one guarantees with his head, and every word the little one says is the truth. The last time they met, the little one was responsible for the location of the matchmaking and arrangement! The little one also hopes to leave a way out for themselves and will never lie."
Riccicro replied confidently,
Anyone can see that after tonight's great purge, the Satsuma people will become the new owner of Jiwading City. It is not pleasing at this time, and when will it last?
Crolisart hesitated, finally withdrew the sword in his hand, picked up the meaningful confession record, waved to the guards beside him, and then stepped to the door of the tent and shouted.
"Guards, prepare horses immediately. I have important information. I want to go to Nanjie to meet the commander of the Legion in person!"
The sun rises from the east, the golden morning light dispels the horror of the night, and the city of Rivading ushers in a new day
Citizens who walked out of their homes carefully found that except for the South Street of the aristocratic settlement, there were soldiers wearing black armor guarding them, other places were no different from usual. It seemed that this was a battle between the upper class of the aristocratic class and had nothing to do with them, such as the ordinary people.
At the intersection of South Street, a mansion originally belonged to Baron Siduhan was hung with a white thorn flower sign. This is the temporary governor's residence designated by the Fatty.
"Sir, this is a list of all the arrested nobles. Except for the people on the original list, all their relatives have been taken into custody, totaling 1,338 people. Look at what these people do."
Caesar Zoro's eyes were red like a rabbit. When he saw the fat man walking in with the guards, he hurriedly met him and respectfully handed the roster in his hand to the fat man.
The many nobles arrested last night were like hot potatoes, which made Caesar Zoro, who had always cherished his reputation, worry a lot.
1338 people are almost a small legion. With a wave of their big hands, the heads of people rolling wheels can be piled into a mountain, and the water of the Samoli River outside the city will become a bloody river.
Of course, I can't get rid of the title of "noble butcher"
The fat man, who was still on South Street last night, suddenly received important information from Crolisart himself and immediately returned to the temporary lord's mansion set up in Jiwading City.
"This is an important information sent by Commander Crowisat himself, you can take a look first!"
The fat man's face turned pale, and Crolisat followed closely
Instead of taking the roster from Caesar Zoro, he handed over a transcript of the interrogation, which made Caesar Zoro even more confused.
This interrogation record handed over from Crolisart once made the fat man tremble all over.
"Is this true? I actually want to use our hands to eliminate all the big families in the city! Then use this as an excuse to provoke the entire south to conquer us. What a poisonous conspiracy."
Looking at the interrogation records in my hand, Caesar Soro, who had always liked the evil people, was sweating all over his head and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I did not execute the death penalty for the nobles without authorization, otherwise it would be my turn to jump in the turbulent Samori River.
"It is indeed sinister. If we do not suppress the nobles of Zhiwading, they will take the opportunity to encourage Zhiwading to be independent from our Satsuma. If we suppress the nobles of the whole city, we will leave the excuse of killing the nobles. They can use this to encourage all the southern lords who are dissatisfied with us and unite to attack us!
"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind, it's so scheming!"
The fat man closed the interrogation record in his hand, his face was terrifying
"Last night, I had issued an emergency military order to mobilize Statunko's Sixth Stage Regiment to Jivading. Don't they like to play conspiracies? I will let the whole South see. The price of playing with me will be paid if I come out and get it back!"
Fatty cold words made Caesar Zoro shudder
"It's over, why are you boring lords messing with the whole madman? Now, the south is going to be in chaos!
