Chapter 122, shrouded in terror

In that terrible storm, the inner city was certainly affected. However, compared to the outer city, the inner city, which had a much more reasonable construction plan and was much more modern, had a less difficult time.

Sturdy houses will not be easily blown down or collapsed; waterlogging still makes the city soak in water for a while, but reliable drainage channels and sewers will quickly let the water flow away after the weather clears.

Even people in the inner cities are not worried about going hungry after a few days of shutdown. They generally have food and savings at home.

But their life was not comfortable at all.

It's just uncomfortable in a different way.

If we say that the person in charge of reviving the outer city at the moment is Ossena, the chief civil affairs officer; the tone of the entire outer city is that post-disaster reconstruction is in full swing.

So the most powerful person in the inner city is Lambert, the grandson of the former Speaker of Parliament. And the tone he brings to the inner city is the politics of terror.

Lambert, whose entire family is almost dead, has transformed into a vengeful evil spirit - at least that's how the people in the inner city see it.

This politics of terror had already begun before the storm. After Norris was captured, according to the confessions of Norris and Bradford, two former powerful members of the Alliance Parliament, people were taken away by soldiers every day.

.

The people who were taken away made no sound at all.

The team responsible for arresting people was not even a team that anyone in Fuxing City was familiar with. Those troops directly under the governor who came from Wei Xing City were completely selfless and had no way of even privately asking how the arrested people were doing.

The inner city is now like playing a killing game. Every time you close your eyes or open your eyes every day, someone you know may be invited to have tea and never come back.

People are terrified, which is not enough to describe this.

A theory began to spread in the inner city: the evil spirit of revenge would drag the entire Fuxing City into hell and bury his family with him.

The storm that was about to destroy the city turned out to be a time for peace of mind. At least for many people with ghosts in their hearts, this is the case.

At least during a storm, they didn't have to worry about soldiers coming to take people away.

However, after the storm subsided, the atmosphere of terror swept over again, and people in the inner city began to tremble again.

Lambert has become a name that can stop children from crying at night in the inner city.

"How can it be so scary!" Listening to Oceana's teasing in the communication signal, Lambert felt dumbfounded.

"Isn't this the case? I've heard it all! Don't quibble!"

"You can't talk nonsense!" Lambert continued to defend, "I acted in accordance with the instructions of the Governor. There is no need for me to use my power to seek personal revenge. After all... after all, according to the instructions of the Governor, those who were with my grandfather

Those who are involved in the death are all enemies of this city. Attacking them is a matter of official business. As for the extra ones, it’s not that I want to offend them, but they have done a lot of bad things. According to the standards of the Governor

, they all have to atone for their sins.”

"How can I atone for my sin?" Oceana asked curiously.

There is nothing hard to say about this, and Lambert gave the answer: "Some of the most heinous people will be declared guilty and executed in public at a public trial three days later; others will be punished with hard labor for varying periods of time. These

Prisoners who are sentenced to hard labor will be sent to the mines of the Wastedong Society to work as unpaid labor, or to work on sewing machines in government-run textile factories where prisoners are the productive forces."

"How many people are there in total?"

"Hmm...it seems like there are two thousand people in total."

"Two thousand people..." Oceana couldn't help but clicked her tongue, "There are only 100,000 people in the inner city, right? 2% of the population has been arrested by you, no wonder you are spread like this throughout the inner city."

"They asked for it." Lambert snorted coldly and didn't want to talk any more about this aspect.

He did this not only out of his own will. The governor asked him to do it to completely clean up the inner city. If almost all the means of production were confiscated and used as government assets, how could it be done by peaceful means?

Those whose crimes are so heinous that they need to be executed, as well as many people who are sentenced to long-term hard labor, actually determine their specific punishments, in addition to the crimes they committed, it also depends on their influence.

The greater the influence of those who do not cast quickly enough, not thoroughly enough, or not decisively enough, the greater their sin will be.

However, there is no need to say these words to Oceana.

He changed the subject and said: "I already know what you want me to do. I will help you select a group of people with very small 'sins'. They were originally going to be put back, and given a combination of kindness and power, they were scared to death.

People, if they suddenly have the opportunity to serve the Governor and gain a more important position and opportunity than before, I think they will be so happy that they will cry bitterly."

"Uh..." Oceana imagined that scene.

It was quite tearful.

Lambert paused and continued: "However, you must also pay attention. These people have abilities and there is not much problem with their composition. However, after all, they are the ones who have been hit by the iron fist. In their hearts

Whether there will be any resentment towards the governor and the new government is something I cannot guarantee. You must pay close attention to this when using it."

"I will."

…

After ending the call with Oceana, Lambert sorted out the information and went to see Governor Gu.

When he arrived, Gu Hang's secretary Zhang Chao asked him to wait a little longer, as the previous meeting was a bit delayed.

Lambert waited patiently. After a while, he saw Yan Fangxu and Thaddeus walking out.

He stood up and greeted the two of them, who quickly returned the greeting and passed by each other.

They didn't talk much. The two military leaders currently under the governor's power seemed to be in a hurry. They obviously had a lot of things to do back home. Lambert himself also had to rush to see the governor to report on the situation, so naturally he had no time to chat.

.

After entering the governor's office, he was about to salute, but was stopped by Gu Hang.

"Don't be too polite, take the time to get down to business."

"Okay." Lambert didn't dare to neglect, walked forward and placed a stack of materials in front of the governor.

Then, while the Governor looked on, he began to describe the situation.

The main content is who he has arrested recently; which ones need to be focused on; which ones are a bit uncertain and need to be decided by the Governor.

Gu Hang listened, corrected some words on his document, and then asked Lambert to take it over.

"Let's do this."

"Yes." After responding, Lambert said, "I have finished my business, and I will not continue to bother the Governor..."

In the middle of his farewell, Gu Hang interrupted him: "Wait a moment, there is something else."

"Your public trial will be brought forward and will be held tomorrow. After your public trial is over, I will use the same place to hold a medal ceremony for our army."

Lambert was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Yes, I understand what to do."

Having said that, it was actually a bit troublesome to do. The time was moved forward two days, and many preparations had not yet been made. It seemed that he and his subordinates were going to work overtime tonight.

Gu Hang obviously knew this, and he comforted him: "Well, thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and prepare."
