However, when Charles was taken to the nearest banker's mansion, he saw wooden poles that had been erected on the streets in the inner ring area, and corpses hanging on the wooden poles; most of them were adults.
Men, but occasionally some women of varying ages.
There were announcements posted under most of the corpses, and someone was responsible for reading them, which attracted crowds of onlookers. With the bursts of applause and curses, it seemed that these citizens could temporarily forget about the war.
It's just like the pain caused by turmoil.
In fact, as a link between the capital's banking group, the aristocracy, and the Burgundian dynasty, Charles knew most of them; among them were his former loan recipients and financial management clients, as well as members of the banking group and leaders of industry guilds;
There were even casual marriages.
However, what makes Charles feel a little relieved is that there are no wives, daughters, and family members among them. Although, I don’t know if the Free Army will deal with them differently, but at least they don’t have to wear only underwear and expose their pampered white flesh.
, describing the ferocious and twisted display on the street.
And a few of the women who were hanged were also famous/notorious loan sharks. This also made Charles feel somewhat lucky that at least he had been acting as a middleman behind the scenes instead of personally participating in the notorious loan sharks; otherwise, maybe,
Someone will cheer for you.
However, when Ciel tried to bring up this topic, he was met with a white eye and a sneer from Ezreal, who was riding in the carriage: "At this time, the stupid Lord Travel still has the heart to pay attention to this? In fact,
, this is the greatest dignity that my king can bestow on these filthy vampires. As for the more degrading results and fate, I believe you don’t want to know."
However, when the carriage escorting Charles passed the Place de Mars, he immediately understood what the so-called more degrading fate was. It was a beheading platform where executions were carried out, and it even used special mechanisms.
As soon as you pull it in, heads will roll down.
Therefore, under the high platform surrounded by the shouting poor people and citizens, more than a dozen vegetable baskets were filled with bloody heads. And the only common feature of these old and new heads is that they all have
A powdered wig or a high bun...
"Then... where are the families of those who were executed?" Charles, who was shocked by this scene, couldn't help asking after hesitation: "I remember there were no children among them, right? They have lost the support of their family, what will happen to them?
What kind of outcome? Your army has never considered how..."
"Lord Traveler, you should take care of yourself first!" However, Ezreal looked at him with a half-smile, and said slowly and meaningfully: "Or are you worried about your women? Don't worry,
The new government will not casually implicate and blame irrelevant people..."
"I... just feel that all this seems to have happened too fast and is not real enough." Polina murmured softly: "From Africa, which is full of yellow sand, to the capital region of the kingdom, I only used
In less than three years, everything seemed like a dream.”
Then, like a cheerful nightingale, she rolled in her arms, rested on Paulina again, and sang a song in an ancient tune and language:
"A graceful lady, living deep in the boudoir.
Therefore, he made up his mind in an instant and would never let such terrible consequences happen to the woman he was related to. At the same time, he was worried about another confidante who hid back in the family manor with his nominal husband.
, Laura, the current real owner of the Bowang family...
After the dull sound of several explosions, the soldiers in blue shirts successively carried out more than twenty large and small iron boxes filled with various gold coins, jewelry, and even paperwork and account books from the gap in the vault. Then
, Charles spoke again: "Yirui, I want to ask you something. Can you pass a message to Fran for me..."
"Have you forgotten those people in the past? Why would they avoid letting you return to the city of Lyon? Isn't it because you are afraid of the power and power you can represent after the holy master has quietly cultivated? I am also worried about your sense of justice and lofty honor.
, the potential pressure it brings to them?”
"So, according to my king's instructions, the death penalty can be avoided but the living crime cannot be escaped. They must accept the reform of supervised labor in the designated workplace and use their own actions to atone for their sins." However, after hearing this, Ciel seemed to be confused.
I misunderstood something, and my face changed instantly.
"As for me, I have nothing to worry about; because it was the holy Lord who allowed me to stay by your side. So as long as I can be with you, I have already made a sacrifice anytime and anywhere, and I will satisfy the Lord.
Be mentally prepared for all your needs and requests.”
"As for the people you mentioned, although most of them have no motive of following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to do evil, their extravagant lives and social enjoyment are often based on the suffering of more people who are poor, hungry, and cold;
So there is joint and several liability.”
"My legion commander, then you are wrong." Su Lem looked up with charming eyes and said: "In a common saying in the Western Continent, no one is perfect in front of the glory of God; insignificant mistakes and
Deviation will make people more real and approachable instead of keeping them at a distance.”
Su Lem replied without hesitation: "I have been in my father's court since I was a child. The natural advantages of being a woman and the upbringing I received are just to be able to help you at this critical moment."
"My legion commander, are you worried?"
"Based on your experience of following that adult over the years, I seem to be sure that you must have an irreplaceable trait or advantage that the adult values and has great expectations for. Therefore, you only need to maintain this quality well.
Features and advantages, everything else is trivial.”
At the same time, Polina, who led the remaining overseas corps, also successfully surrendered the remaining enemies on the southern front; and led the guard company to gallop towards the city of Seine. On the vaguely bumpy carriage, the extremely well-behaved Su
Little Princess Rem is nestling in her arms.
"Actually, for you, all this has never been a problem." Su Lem chuckled slightly: "From the beginning, you have been the only trusted and close lieutenant of the Lord, and you can also summon and display his power.
Saintess, doesn’t this prove anything?”
You must know that although the Burgundian dynasty was brutal and authoritarian, and never hesitated to kill and humiliate its former political opponents and losers, at least on the surface, it still maintained the last dignity of the aristocratic class.
; We will not let the wives and daughters of nobles entertain guests together.
While they were talking, the carriage had already arrived on Fisher Street, where dozens of banks, large and small, and affiliated financial institutions gathered; and as the most conspicuous and majestic building among them, it was known as the heart of the kingdom's money flow, the Banker Street.
Trade associations/bond exchanges.
"So, are you also worried?" Suleim said empathetically and close to her chest: "Are you worried that the adult who gave you all this can take it away anytime and anywhere? Or are you worried about those unreasonable people in the army?
People like you, continue to advise you to pursue unrealistic ambitions?"
The jade face is so beautiful that it is unattainable.
"Even if I have my own selfish motives and stance because of this, I may even violate my long-standing persistence and principles." Paulina seemed to be hesitant and moved: "I... just want to leave a legacy for the fading family.
The last bit of bloodline inheritance. But I am worried that it will be damaged..."
"Thank you for your explanation and analysis." When Paulina heard this, she couldn't help touching her head lovingly, and sighed softly: "Although I still can't completely let go of the gains and losses, at least I feel better in my heart.
But what are your plans after you arrive at the royal capital?"
Light body and fair skin.
The next moment, Charles, who was an important member of the group, took the initiative to walk to a wall of the vault and touched it carefully with his eyes closed. Finally, he stopped at a position and slowly said: "There is also a secret door here.
Go to the real secret room, and there may be what you want."
"In fact, you should not and do not need to care too much about what other people think; as long as you consider following and obeying that lord's position. As I know most of the dynasty allusions, as long as you care about
That lord is indispensable, and you are invulnerable."
However, the place had long been emptied, leaving only pieces of paper and other rubbish scattered on the floor; and in the public treasury where industry deposits were stored, there were only piles and piles of worthless copper centime coins;
There are just dozens of silver ingots serving as a front on a spacious shelf.
The bare chest is like a mirror, and you are comfortable and leisurely."
Su Lem's light and ethereal singing came out of the carriage's glass window, and then jumped up to the sky with the sound of wind and frightened birds; after passing a long distance, it came to the devastated city of Seine; finally it became a scene spread all over the city.
Sculptural fountain with flowers in the inner ring of a foraging crow.
And under these crows that fluttered and hovered from time to time, the heavily armored knights, light armored hunters and armed monks who surrounded and guarded Jiang Tian also came to the Emmadu Palace as a cemetery of dynasties and a place of major religious ceremonies.
In front of an inconspicuous little church on the edge.
There was a scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night before, and the traces of the carnival of various reanimated corpses are still vivid in my mind. In fact, even days later, there are still various broken corpses being cleared out from every corner. This is the Church of the Holy Infant;
It is also the burial place for descendants of the royal family who died in infancy.
During the ongoing cleaning and destruction of the Amadou Palace, a wide tunnel leading to the Ganquan Palace was accidentally discovered under the blooming flowerbed. Then, the traces were traced to the Holy Infant Church; therefore, now,
Most of the chapel's ground floor has been demolished.
