Chapter 2072 Who Is It? (Sleeping Under the Quilt Is the Loudest!)
"Your Majesty, please listen to the voice of the people, the situation has become very serious now!"
The officials kneeling under the throne looked at the young man sitting on it, and shouted with grief.
"You were deceived by the minister! If this continues, the empire will collapse completely!"
However, the young man sitting on the throne was completely unmoved by the officials' shouts.
"Internal Affairs Officer Sauer, I sentenced you to death for the crime of arguing about our policies and delaying government affairs."
"what?!"
Hearing this, the internal affairs officer who was kneeling below raised his head in horror and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Come on, pull it down!"
Following the young emperor's order, guards soon came over and overwhelmed the internal affairs officer to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You have been deceived by the minister, Your Majesty! Please wake up! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Accompanied by shouts, the internal affairs officer was dragged out by the guards, and then the door was closed again.
As for the other officials in the main hall, they were as silent as a cicada and didn't say a word.
"That's our goal this time."
Fangzheng closed the "Announcements" and looked at the assassins in front of him. Up to now, there are nearly ten assassins who have joined the Brotherhood, just like Iyeas and Shayou. Most of the victims who were murdered and rose up to resist were women...
Although there are only two blond girls.
"Our goal this time is to save the family of the interior officer Sauer. He was sentenced to death for admonishing the emperor, and his family will also be captured as slaves. Sauer and his family will be publicized in the square Execution, all we have to do is save them, let them leave the imperial capital, and kill those executioners at the same time."
"Mentor, why do we save those people?"
At this moment, another assassin asked in a low voice.
"Those officials are the lackeys of the emperor, they are not worth saving at all!"
"There are also officials who really care about the people, and under the current situation, they still dare to speak to the incompetent emperor, which shows his courage and determination."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
"We not only want to eliminate evil, but also uphold justice. Those who are dedicated to the people should not die here. At least we can let them survive, so that they can still serve this country in the future."
"So until when?"
"When we kill the emperor."
As Fangzheng's voice fell, everyone couldn't help but gasped.
In the Northern Empire, the concept of the supremacy of imperial power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even now, most people complain about the ministers who are ignorant of the emperor, not the emperor himself. Therefore, when Fang Zheng said bluntly that he wanted to kill the emperor, everyone was stunned.
"Are we... are we really going to do this? Teacher? The Emperor is just being deceived..."
Sha You was somewhat uneasy, but Fang Zheng just glanced at her.
"So you mean, as long as we kill the ministers, the emperor will wake up overnight and become a good emperor who is diligent and caring for the people, instead of going crazy and seeking revenge from us?"
“……………………”
Shayou opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, just as Fangzheng said, this is basically impossible.
"But isn't that emperor still a child?"
"He is the emperor, and he is responsible for all of this when he sits in this position, so his ending is also doomed, unless he suddenly wakes up and becomes another person, but we all know this is impossible."
Having said this, Fangzheng stood up.
"Let's move, Shayou, you take a group of people and me to the execution ground, Iyeas, you take another group of people to the house of the interior officer, remember, act quickly, and everything moves according to the plan!"
"..."
No one spoke, all the assassins just nodded slightly, and not long after, the entire room was empty.
The midday sun was shining on the square in front of us, but the crowd gathered in the square did not say a word. They stared at the prisoners wearing prison uniforms and tied up in shackles with terrified and fearful eyes. At this moment, it is as lifeless as a cemetery.
"The interior minister Sauer disobeyed the emperor's order and was sentenced to death along with his family!"
The leading judge raised the document in his hand and roared angrily. Hearing his roar, the people below were silent and looked at each other anxiously. Among the crowd, the two figures also stared at this scene, clenched their fists tightly.
"hateful………"
The girl with pink ponytails, Ma Yin, clenched her fists and stared at the people who were being executed on the execution platform. If she had brought Teigu, Ma Yin would want to take action immediately to save these people!
"Don't get excited, Maine."
Beside Ma Yin, the blond woman Leonai pressed her shoulder.
"There are a lot of guards here. It is impossible for us to succeed at all. Just wait, one day we will overthrow the rule of the empire, and by that time, everything will be fine."
"Woo... um..."
Hearing Leonai's answer, Ma Yin was silent for a moment, then lowered her head weakly.
But at this moment on the execution platform, the leading judge was still reading the contents of the execution book aloud.
"Anyone must not defy the emperor!"
No one noticed that a figure in a white cloak and a hood quietly walked out of the crowd. He stretched out his hand and slowly pushed away the people beside him. And those people didn't seem to notice these people at all. They just looked up at the judge and the prisoners who were about to be executed. Even the people who were pushed away didn't respond at all.
"Anyone who talks about the emperor's policies indiscriminately shall be executed!"
The body of the guard walking on the roof trembled, and then limply fell backwards. At the same time, a black-robed assassin appeared from behind him, grabbed the guard's body and hid him in the shadow of the roof. Then, she leaned against the wall, raised the crossbow in her hand, and aimed at the execution ground.
"This is the result of disobeying the emperor's order!"
The judge pointed again at the prisoner next to him, but at the same time, the soldiers maintaining order in the first row did not notice that a figure had appeared behind them.
"Ready for execution!"
As the judge's voice fell, the next moment, several spinning silver-white balls were thrown out from the crowd, and the next moment, they suddenly exploded.
"Bang bang bang!!"
In an instant, a thick gray mist suddenly burst out, covering the entire execution ground. Facing the sudden scene, the onlookers immediately screamed and ran in all directions.
"There is an enemy——!"
The guards, who sensed something was wrong, immediately pulled out their weapons, but before they could make a move, the sharp blade pierced their hearts and cut their throats, and the howling arrows fell from the sky and pierced their heads . Soon, there was only dull humming in the execution ground.
What happened?
Saul in shackles looked at the foggy surroundings in horror. He couldn't see anything now, and he didn't even know what happened. His son also leaned close to him in fright, without saying a word. However, at this moment, Sauer suddenly heard a low muffled hum from his ear, and the next moment, with the swaying of the mist, a corpse suddenly emerged from the mist, and fell on the ground in front of Saul.
That's the Inquisitor.
At this moment, his eyes are round, holding the emperor's order with one hand, and covering his throat with the other, blood is continuously flowing from the gap between his fingers, and his eyes have lost their spirit.
what is going on?
At this moment, Saul was stunned, but the next moment, he suddenly felt that someone grabbed his chain and pulled him and his son forward. His figure loomed in the gray mist, making it almost impossible to see clearly.
"You, who are you?"
Staring at the figure, Saul asked, but the other party did not answer. The next moment, Saul felt his body suddenly lost his balance and fell headlong. But instead of falling on the cold ground, Saul felt himself fall on a pile of soft straw. Before he could react, a pile of straw appeared and covered him up.
Sauer didn't know what happened next. He only heard the sound of the carriage running and the wheels turning. At this moment, Saul didn't know what to do except hugging his child tightly. He could feel someone sitting not far from him, but he didn't dare to say anything or make a sound.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and then Saul heard the sound of the board, and then the straw was removed, so he opened his eyes and looked around.
"here is……………"
Sauer turned his head and saw that they had arrived at the edge of a wild forest outside the imperial capital. There was no one on the carriage, and beside the forest, several familiar figures were standing there. That was Sauer's wife and the rest of the family!
"Dear!"
At this moment, Shaoer finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward, hugging his wife.
"how so……………?"
At the same time, in the alley next to the execution ground, Ma Yin and Leonai also stared at the execution ground in dumbfounded. When the smoke bomb erupted before, they sensed that something was wrong. As night attack killers, Ma Yin and Leonai naturally knew how to protect themselves. They quickly left the crowd and hid in the alley next to them. But even so, the two did not leave. They stared at the execution ground, wanting to see what happened inside.
But when the smoke finally cleared, what they saw shocked them both.
I saw that on the execution ground, except for the corpses of those soldiers, there was no one there.
"What... what's going on? How did this happen?"
Seeing this scene, Ma Yin was dumbfounded, unable to understand at all. You must know that the smoke just now was so thick that even they couldn't see the situation inside clearly, but now it seems that after releasing the smoke, someone easily killed those soldiers and successfully rescued the internal affairs. official?
More importantly, how did they kill those soldiers?
Ma Yin and Leonai didn't hear the sound of fighting before, and didn't even notice the slightest murderous intent!
"Let's get out of here first!"
Leonai also had the same question, but she didn't plan to investigate right now, because she had already heard the sound of horseshoes and shouts. Obviously, what happened on the execution ground had already alarmed the Imperial Capital's garrison.
"Let's go back and talk about the rest!"
"Ok!"
Hearing Leone's answer, Ma Yin nodded, she turned her head to look at the execution ground again, and then left quickly.
But at this moment, a problem has arisen deep in Ma Yin's heart.
That's... who on earth did this? !
