Although Old Ford has never been to the scene in person, he is always investigating everything that happened in Valens through the news from the Idar CIA.
Therefore, whether it was the surprise inspection at the city gate or the news of the round-up on Gavill Street and Diagonal Alley, it reached Old Ford's ears at the first time.
With the arrest of "Black Rat" Sarada, this "anti-crime storm", which was authorized by Bruno, commanded by Old Ford, and jointly investigated by the Idar CIA and the Idar Public Security Bureau, finally achieved success. Staged victory.
As the evil force that had been hanging over the people of the Valens Plains was completely wiped out by Idar's supervision with a thunderous force, the human trafficking network rooted in the Valens Plains finally surfaced.
The moment they heard the news, countless people rushed in. They gathered in front of the Valens Government Office and rushed to tell the Idar police officers who were present to maintain order what they had experienced over the years.
What's more, he knelt down directly in front of the Government Affairs Office to express his gratitude to the police officers of the Principality of Idar.
After all, the Valens Plains had only been ruled by the Idar Principality for a short time, and their understanding of the Idar Principality was far inferior to the people living in the Idar Territory.
It is precisely for this reason that when Police Officer Idar started investigating, the civilians chose to remain silent out of fear of the gangsters.
And now...
When they saw the scumbags who had oppressed them receiving silver bracelets, the people immediately came to the door of the Government Affairs Office.
In fact, this is not only to express my gratitude to Police Officer Idar, but also to feel ashamed because of my past cowardice.
They have long recognized the rule of the Idar Principality over this land.
But maybe until this moment,
Only then did they truly develop the most sincere love and support for Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, which originated from the depths of their hearts.
"Sir Ford, the number of people gathered in front of the Government Affairs Office is no less than a few hundred people. If we don't drive them away, I'm afraid there will be a stampede accident due to the crowding."
After seeing the scene in front of the Government Affairs Hall, Old Ford's deputy quickly came to his side and reported to Old Ford what was happening in front of the Government Affairs Hall.
"Pay attention to maintaining order and let the people stay there for a while..."
As he spoke, Old Ford began to ask the attendants to tidy up their clothes.
Under the influence of Bruno, Old Ford knew that even if it was not a passionate speech, as long as he expressed his truest emotions to the people with peaceful words, he could resonate with the audience present.
so……
This time,
He wanted to make the pride of being a citizen of Idar deeply rooted in the hearts of all the people living on this plain.
…
After the arrest is completed, what awaits the gangsters is trial and punishment.
only,
In this era, the procedures for legal enforcement were actually far less stringent than in later generations.
In order to relieve the resentment in the hearts of Valens residents, Ford even planned an indispensable street parade.
The arrested gangsters are currently being detained near Diagonal Alley.
therefore,
Starting from the Diagonal Alley in the south of the city, all the way to the Idar Government Affairs Office in the city, the arrested prisoners were shackled one by one, and their wrists were tied with strong thick hemp ropes. Under the vigilance of the Idar police officers, Below, he moved slowly through the city of Valens.
There were more than fifty criminals arrested this time, one after another, and the parade was nearly a hundred meters long.
At this time, the gangsters no longer had the arrogance of before. They all had their heads drooped and walked forward slowly with disheveled hair. They didn't even dare to look around.
They never thought that Police Officer Idar would take such resolute action to completely destroy their nest, and they could not imagine what kind of severe punishment awaited them!
The people of Valens City had already heard the news. The timid civilians huddled in the cracks of doors on the street, while the bold ones squatted directly on the edge of the street, looking up and down at these once domineering gangsters.
Those gangsters who once looked fierce were now as docile as lost lambs.
Because the shackles under their feet were quite heavy, each of them took small, messy steps, and even cautiously glanced at Officer Idar beside them from time to time, with a look of fear on their faces.
Are these still those gangsters?
If it weren't for the civilians who could recognize a few familiar faces among these people, who would have thought that just a few days ago, these stupid-looking guys were still a big mountain weighing down the hearts of all civilians!
Scotty Fisher was mixed in the crowd, curiously looking at the gangsters in front of him.
seem……
In addition to being stronger, everyone has one nose and two eyes. The appearance of these gangsters... is not much different from my own...
As a member of the most ordinary civilian class, he lived with his parents on the Valens Plains since he was a child.
Like most civilians of this era, Scotty did not have much joy in his childhood. Almost from the time he was six or seven years old, he began to rely on his small body to help his family with some labor within his ability.
The harsh environment tempered Scotty's hard-working character and his indomitable will. However... civilian life is always accompanied by grief and parting.
The pretty sister was kidnapped by gangsters and disappeared without a trace; the frail younger brother died of illness before he was even a month old.
Therefore... he has always had an extremely strong hatred for these gangsters who shuttled through the streets of Valens City!
But now, looking at those hooligans with fearful faces, Scotty's heart gradually felt a sense of joy of having a great revenge, as if the stone that had been pressing on his heart... disappeared at this moment!
Looking at those heroic Idar police officers, a strong feeling of envy suddenly appeared in Scotty's mind.
He even regretted it...
I regret why I didn’t learn spelling earlier, read Idar Daily, take the civil service examination in Idar Territory, and participate in the open recruitment of Idar police officers.
Not only him, but also the countless young people present had the same wish vaguely in their hearts...
perhaps……
Are there any other possibilities you can try yourself?
…
The parade composed of gangsters moved towards the Government Affairs Office at an extremely slow speed.
As time went by, more and more people began to appear in the streets and alleys. Many people even picked up the gravel on the roadside and greeted the gangsters vigorously.
The distance between the Government Affairs Office and Diagonal Alley is not that far. In order to allow more civilians to witness the achievements of Police Officer Idar, Old Ford immediately ordered...
Walk two more laps!
The sharp-eyed vendors quickly discovered the business opportunities contained in this. They moved out the popcorn machines they had just purchased and hawked them loudly along the path of the parade.
The popcorn sold by these vendors is the basic version that makes a loud "bong" sound, which was only tried to be made by the craftsmen of the Principality of Idar not long ago.
After experiencing the initial confusion, the loud noises attracted the attention of civilians countless times.
For the people living on this land, this is a day worth celebrating. In addition, this kind of popcorn, which is not entirely made from corn kernels, is not very expensive, so...
Many civilians whose lives are becoming increasingly stable are willing to take out a few coins to buy something to satisfy their children's cravings.
Naturally, a simple parade on the street is not enough.
Old Ford set up a high platform in the square in front of the Government Affairs Office. Each gangster would be whipped several times in full view of the public before he would be taken into custody by Constable Idar and then taken to the dungeon.
To be fair, such a procedure does not actually comply with the legal provisions of the Principality of Idar, but it made the people present cheer.
…
When Old Ford finally walked out of the Government Affairs Hall and came to the square, thousands of ordinary people had gathered in this originally vast square.
"To all the Idarites present! I am the present Commissar of Valens Plains, Ford."
Old Ford's deep voice, full of vicissitudes of life, slowly reached the ears of the common people, and the noise in the square subsided almost instantly.
The civilians present raised their heads one after another and looked at the figure who was slightly hunched due to old age and his weathered face.
Old Ford calmly scanned the crowds in the square with his eyes, and then continued:
"The gangsters and robbers who once committed evil in this land have been rounded up by the police officers of the Principality of Idar in this round-up operation, and no one among them will escape the punishment of the law.
!”
Old Ford paused and continued:
"After this, the Unicorn Alley in the south of Valens will become the office of the Valens branch of the Idar Public Security Bureau. I hope that all people who have been oppressed by these evildoers can take the initiative to report to Idar.
Dahl Public Safety for tips and information!”
"At the same time, as the political officer of Valens Plains, I can assure everyone present that the police officers of the Principality of Idar will never let any fish slip through the net!"
After the words fell, there was an uproar.
Where is Unicorn Alley? It is the headquarters of "Black Rat" Sarada!
And now, the Valens branch of the Idar Public Security Bureau will be established in the streets originally occupied by gangsters. This has an extraordinary symbolic meaning for the people of Valens!
But that’s not all yet…
"As we all know, both civilians and serfs living on this land have a common identity - citizens of Idar."
"But what I want to tell you today is... those people who were abducted by slave traders and kidnapped to the interior of the empire are also members of the Principality of Idar!"
"If there are any of your family or friends among them, please go to the Corner Alley. The Idar Public Security Bureau and the Idar Central Intelligence Agency will work together and do their best to get them out of the misery in the interior of the empire! Let Idar
Citizens of Dar go home!”
This time, there was no noise or cheering.
The people in the square looked at the old man standing in front of the Government Affairs Office in disbelief, and were speechless for a moment.
Although they had already seen the gangsters being paraded through the streets, at this moment, Old Ford's words made them feel extremely horrified!
Is this...really?
Old Ford's words not only gave the people hope, but also awakened the memories hidden deep in their hearts...
When I thought that those figures who had remained in my memory might be reunited, many people present shed tears.
…
The next day, "Daily Idar" used the front page headline to announce to all the people the first large-scale roundup since the founding of the Principality of Idar, and also presented the criminal group that has repeatedly oppressed the civilians of Valens.
In front of all the Idar people.
When Ethan, who was waiting for the release of test results, saw the latest edition of "Idar Daily", his heart surged and his blood boiled.
Everyone knows that the Principality of Idar has been improving people's lives. Everyone knows that Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, is different from any nobleman in the world.
But when they heard that these gangsters hiding in the corner were all arrested and brought to justice by the Idar police officers, everyone while applauding the Idar Public Security Bureau also had to marvel at the action capabilities of the Idar police officers.
.
And in the hearts of the common people of Idar, their sense of pride as citizens of Idar has become stronger.
"Idar Daily" explained the evil deeds of this criminal gang to the public without any reservation.
Collecting protection fees from traders is just the most inconspicuous evil act. They commit murder and arson, and commit all kinds of crimes. Under the protection of the Hastings family, the former rulers of the Valens Plains, they turn a blind eye and mutilate.
He killed countless young girls and committed heinous crimes.
Not only that,
This large criminal group, headed by "Black Rat" Sarada and supplemented by Lippi, Brunswick and others, has even left the mark of slaves on thousands of civilians in the past few years.
And sell them to all parts of the empire!
Countless civilian families were separated from their wives and children because of this, and countless people had to succumb to the lustful power of "Black Rat" Sarada.
When this news spread in the Principality of Idar, even the civilians who had never been to the Valens Plains couldn't help but be shocked and deeply touched.
after all……
For the common people of this era, which one of them has not suffered a severe beating in life? Which one of them has not encountered unfair oppression?
Therefore, they can empathize with the civilians living in the Valens Plains!
For a time, the Idar Public Security Bureau was in the limelight, and the Idar police officers received widespread praise from all walks of life.
And at the same time,
Wagner, who is the director of the Idar Public Security Bureau, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This successful arrest operation allowed him to secure his position as interim director and successfully removed the word "temporary" from the front of his title.
But more importantly, Wagner, who came from a civilian background, knew better than anyone else how much pain these gangsters and hooligans would bring to civilians, and how human trafficking would deal a painful blow to civilian families.
The hope Ford gave to civilians who had lost their relatives and friends published in the Idar Daily made his blood boil even more.
Yes, those trafficked people are also citizens of the Principality of Idar!
their dignity,
Don’t let anyone trample on you!
