Chapter 2472 Rebellion
As the saying goes: It's none of your business, just worry about it.
But that describes the mentality of passers-by. As the victim, you adopt such a posture. Isn't it a bit too much?
I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud. After all, blaming the queen's grandmother in front of the public would damage the image of the Tian family. Even if the grandmother was magnanimous and refused to pursue the matter afterwards, the suspicion would eventually come to an end.
Instead of doing this, it's better to pretend not to see her and let her act however she likes, while I continue to do whatever I have to do.
Sarcasm is an art.
Ridiculing the strong is an art that seeks death, ridiculing the weak is a boring art, and ridiculing the drowned dog is a despicable art.
But compared to the first two items, I prefer to laugh at Reservoir Dogs. Although it is despicable, it is very satisfying.
There is a drowned dog in front of me - the captain of the city guard.
This guy has not been law-abiding from the beginning, and has shown his favoritism to the human youth and the elven youth. When he asked me what happened, he acted like a creditor collecting debts. After asking to no avail, he became even more anxious and tried to kill us. Everyone is in prison.
To be honest, I was confused. How did such a violent guy with no distinction between public and private affairs take up the position of captain of the city defense?
It stands to reason that the position of captain not only represents the public security image of a town, but also represents the fairness and strictness of its laws.
This requires those in office to be strict with themselves, distinguish right from wrong, and abide by the law.
As for things like mixing personal relationships, it's not impossible to do it, but at least don't do it so blatantly.
I did chop and wound the human youth, but there is no provision in the law not to do so. In Zefeng Continent, the strong are respected, and it is not uncommon to hurt people and take their lives.
But human beings all have self-discipline, which is moral restraint. They know that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done. Besides, I don’t look like a murderer, and my words and deeds are not too extreme. As a law enforcer, you don’t have many options. To collect evidence, it stuck with me and refused to let go. What do you mean?
Do you think I'm easy to bully?
And you threatened to execute me as a law enforcer?
Let’s not talk about whether I care about your identity or not. Based on your strength alone, are you my opponent?
Believe it or not, I will beat you down in two rounds!
It's still a turn-based battle, and you make the first move!
I cast a cold glance at the stunned city guard captain, and grinned, "What's wrong, great captain of the city guard, why don't you ask your men to arrest us? I'll be waiting, look~"
He stretched out his hand in front of the captain of the city guard and shook it: "My hand has been passed over. You only need to take out the shackles. With this click, I will become a prisoner, and you will also become the hero of the people." Oh, sorry, you’re not the people’s hero, just theirs.”
Then, he pointed at the young people who were also confused: "They will be grateful to you and respect you. Look, how majestic you are!"
I ridiculed the city guard captain passionately in the form of poetry. Looking at his increasingly frightened expression and his body like sieving chaff, I felt so refreshed.
The Fairy Queen finally put down her sleeves, raised her head, showed a chilling indifferent look, lightly opened her red lips, and said: "Xuan Yueguang City Guards Captain, conduct a thorough investigation."
After saying that, he left gracefully.
Plop.
The Captain of the Blue Crystal Town City Guard was slumped on the ground, dripping with cold sweat, his face was as white as a sheet of paper, and he looked like he was about to die from a serious illness.
But I believe that it won’t be long before he, his family, and a lot of powerful people involved will all go to the execution ground and return to the God of Creation together.
This is what happens if Tianyan is angered.
When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed three feet; when the emperor is angry, his blood will be scattered all over the river.
This beautiful and quiet blue crystal town is probably going to add a bit of eerie blood-colored beauty.
After returning to the palace, I had just sat down for a while when a guard came to report that the Lord of Blue Crystal Town had an audience with His Majesty.
The Fairy Queen held the tea cup and replied lightly: "No."
Missing means a death sentence.
After hesitating for a moment, I asked softly: "The captain of the city defense bent the law for personal gain and should be punished. However, this has nothing to do with the city lord. I didn't even see him. Isn't it inappropriate?"
The Fairy Queen was still drinking tea and chatting and laughing with Queen Medusa.
While chatting and laughing, she casually replied to me: "You will understand later."
A thorough investigation is no different from a butcher's house raid. The results are clean and thorough. A large number of powerful businessmen are implicated and executed according to law.
Among them, no less than a hundred people were sentenced to death.
No fewer than a thousand people were implicated and imprisoned.
The number of surviving dignitaries in Blue Crystal Town was instantly reduced by 30%.
But this is not over yet.
I thought it was just a major incident that offended the Holy Emperor, but unexpectedly, it was inadvertently involved in a major rebellion.
Conspiracy, this is much more serious than fighting against the Holy Spirit.
The Blue Crystal Town, which had just calmed down, once again set off huge waves.
This time, the case not only involves the city lord's palace and its subordinates, but also involves the Rose Legion branch in Blue Crystal Town!
The Rose Legion is one of the five major guilds in the Zephyr Continent. It is a super guild with a transcendent status in Moonlight City. Although it usually seems to be in a state of autonomy, only those with centralized power know that the successive presidents of the Rose Legion must be stationed around the palace. On the one hand, it is convenient to implement government orders, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to control.
This just shows that the two majesties both trust and guard against the Legion of Roses.
Originally, whether it was Elder Mai Sonoda or Emily and other presidents of the Rose Legion, they all performed very well. They were loyal and wholehearted, and they were absolutely loyal loyalists.
But unexpectedly, someone with the intention of treason was found under his hands, which made the Fairy Queen very angry.
According to the Fairy Queen, she had thought that there was a powerful reactionary force in Blue Crystal Town, which might be nobles, traders, or some unknown private organizations. But from the beginning to the end, she thought Never doubted the Legion of Roses.
But the facts chilled her heart. The captured vice-president of the Rose Legion branch in Blue Crystal Town and a group of his minions had to confess to their crimes in the face of conclusive evidence.
They also admitted frankly that they were the descendants of the annihilated independent nobles, lurking everywhere just to accumulate strength so that one day they could overthrow the imperial power and establish their own country.
The words were spoken loudly and forcefully, but I wanted to laugh when I heard them.
The current political system of Moonlight City is as follows. Except for the capital of Moonlight City, all other towns have a city lord. The selection of the city lord is decided by the two majesties and the elders through discussion. After taking office as the city lord, all government, military, and financial affairs of the town will be in charge. , education and other aspects are all handled by the city lord alone, and only need to report to His Majesty once a year.
Of course, during this process, His Majesty will also send supervisory censors from time to time to check whether the reported situation is true. If it is not true, he will be dismissed immediately and punished, and another capable person will be selected.
To put it bluntly, as long as he can keep his peace and seek truth from facts, any city lord will be the local emperor of the town.
How is this different from having a country of your own?
