Touching the Sky Chapter 149 Reality is sudden
"It's really spectacular!" The melon-eating crowd who came to hear the wind on the side discussed one after another, and it was unheard of and unseen to tie up so many evildoers who did evil on weekdays at once.
"What's so spectacular about this—" Of course, there are those who object, who think it's just a "spectacle" and not a "spectacular." But everyone didn't care about these people who were responsible for lifting the bar, after all, time is also limited, such a rich thing to talk about, it's too late to look at the details carefully, where will they spend time on lifting the bar with others, those who raise the bar are bored, and desperately want to attract the attention of others.
And then there is what "this is against the laws of the empire", "so unfree" and other weird tones, in this way to sensationalize, the grumpy onlookers will naturally not let go of this casual good object, sometimes the feeling of fist to the flesh is so enjoyable, although the vast majority of people feel that this is not good, but the grumpy brother will never refuse this rare pleasure. After all, "I'll let you owe" always means "you 'rude' in your mouth" and "I've put up with you for a long time", rather than encouraging you to continue to owe.
Although the incident happened at the gate of the city guard camp, and "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" was not allowed by the imperial capital of the Aish Empire, the city guards no longer had the kung fu to care about the small matter of "fighting", after all, more than a hundred villains who usually do a lot of evil were tied up in the city guard barracks together, what a great merit, this is different from the previous small fights.
Because of Kramer's advice, King Ike is now in his second spring, although his previous reign was mediocre, but now he feels that he is young enough, he still has a lot of great things that he wanted to accomplish when he was young, and he still wants to take the empire to the next level, so he has issued a lot of policies in terms of statecraft.
Among them is the article "to ensure the security of the city and provide a good living environment for the residents", which is obviously aimed at these hooligans, but usually these gangsters are hidden and relatively raw, for this city, they can be said to know everything, but it makes the city guards who are much more numerous than them on the bright side very headache, chasing people do not know which alley to run into, or which sewer to go into.
In the past, there was no need to deal with these at all, unless it happened under the nose, because many hooligans and gangsters had the support of nobles behind them, and dealt with those things that could not happen on the bright side for them, and it was thankless to deal with them, but now it is different, the city guard has changed the boss, who is a close confidant of the king, and is a very "reckless" person, who will naturally help them withstand the pressure, besides, no nobleman will have trouble with the king's policy because of some "shadowy" things.
The clear-eyed nobles all understand, King Ike is now riveting, and touching the tiger's ass at this time, if it weren't for the old lust who was on the brain, and didn't even let go of the tiger, it would probably be self-defeating. In the end, these hooligans are just cloths used by the nobles to wipe their hands, which can be discarded at any time without harming their own interests.
Although Huang and the others had also caught a few thieves and the like in a small fight before, but that kind of credit was too small, so that those low-level soldiers couldn't lift their spirits to deal with it at all, anyway, even if the rewards were issued above, they would be intercepted by the top, and those veteran ruffians fully understood what their bosses were, and they wanted them to keep some for themselves on a little benefit, which was a pipe dream.
But this time the situation is different, more than a hundred overbearing gangsters, and even the leader is the famous gangster leader, this time the reward will definitely not be less, and such a big credit is impossible to be completely embezzled by the upper echelons, the only regret is that after this purge, the security of the imperial capital will be significantly improved, and there will not be so many hooligans and gangsters jumping out to make trouble for a long time, so they will lose a piece of revenue.
It shouldn't be a big problem to say that it has been open for three years, of course, this doesn't mean that there will be a lot of rewards, but the rewards will not be too much, because this matter is not done by the city guards, but by others, and the city guards are just responsible for taking them into custody. Therefore, the reward can only be a decent few, and then exploited layer by layer, and there are probably some rewards in hand, saying that it has been open for three years, because there is no such thing in the next three years (optimistic estimate).
On the whole, it was a happy thing, the people got a good environment, the king completed his little goal, the city guard was rewarded, and then some of the ministers in charge of the matter were able to make a speech, saying something like "this is a good future for the whole country to work together, we are just responsible for making plans" and so on, and in the end it was probably only these hooligans who were injured.
The soldiers were receiving the thugs and discussing the matter with joy, and on this breezy night, the soldiers who had not eaten too much said something to spend the lonely night. There are many angles to discuss, such as how the boss of the city guard is groveling in front of those few people, and now it is all rumors, what "my eldest brother is the personal guard of the leader, he said that the boss is kneeling", "the boss pours tea and water for those people" and other words that make the boss of the city guard very angry.
But there's no problem with this, anyway, when you get the benefits, let them say go, they're jealous, they've eaten citric acid.
Others just discuss how fierce these people are, and all kinds of praise words come out of the bard's mouth. It's just that the current Ling and the others have left, and they haven't seen the boss of the city guards at all, for them, seeing these people is a complete waste of time, it's better to go and eat, just simply drive these hooligans into the city guard barracks.
......
Cauchy, who finished telling today's story meeting, gathered the manuscript, as a "big coffee" in the current imperial capital, the audience has always been a lot, and Cauchy has always faced his audience with a smile, but after finishing today's story, Cauchy, who walked off the stage, looked a little worried.
"Yo, what's going on?" Ling and the others are also frequent visitors to Cauchy, and for the imperial capital where they were not familiar with the place at the beginning, Ling and the others can also be regarded as Cauchy's "half of the countrymen", so there is a good seat that has been reserved for Ling and others.
"Hey, in our line of work, there is a bottleneck period of more than 30 days every month, and I feel that I can't write well, and I can only be efficient late at night......"
"Can't find a subject matter?"
"It's hard, and there's always been a lot of bad things lately, that is, what you did last night still makes me feel that the world is not bad, and there is hope. ”
"What's the bad thing lately?" Ling poured tea for Huang and the others, which can be regarded as a way of leisure.
"The plague has been a bit bad lately. Cauchy said that there has been a plague in many places recently, which is actually normal, after all, there has been a great war before, although the natural elf world has been evacuated, but it is impossible for the dead in the war to come back to life, there are many corpses, and the weather is hot, the plague appears, but the general plague is not very important in this world, because as long as there is a priest or a warlock of the life department, this harm can be easily removed, and the priest is still more concerned about this kind of thing, say something utilitarian, it is best to win the hearts of the people to do such a thing, and it is a great benefit for the mission。
"What's wrong with the plague?" Huang originally thought that this was not a big deal, but it made Cauchy so angry, in her impression, Cauchy has always been the kind of person who is not shocked, even if he is beaten by the audience, he has never been so angry.
"The king of a small country felt that the priests were here to infiltrate his country, so he refused to deal with the matter, and then threatened that the state was very well prepared and could solve the problem. ”
"And then?"
And then there was the kingdom that had infected a lot of people, many of whom had died for lack of purification by the priests, and the king felt that he had done a good job, and he said, 'Thanks to his command, more deaths have been avoided.'" ”
"It's really infuriating, why write something?"
"Hmm...... Maybe I should write a little, but it's too difficult, the story is logical, but the reality doesn't tell it. Cauchy poured a sip of tea and jumped up and down, but Ling cast a healing spell on him in time to make him feel better.
"Is it the other way around?"
"No, you just say this, do you dare to write a novel like that? Of course this king did. In reality, no matter what it is, people are just surprised at first, and then it is no longer strange, but if there is no logic in a story, then the audience will think that you are talking nonsense. Cauchy said.
"It seems to make sense. ”
"Tell me why you did what you did last night?" asked Cauchy.
"Hmm...... I didn't think too much about it, I just thought about it suddenly. Huang replied.
"You see, there's no logic at all, but if I write 'The hero does something good on a whim,' the audience will think I'm forceful and not logical at all, but that's the reality. Cauchy spread his hands, and then touched the top of his increasingly thin head, very helpless, "It's so hard to write—"
Ling and the others nodded in agreement, but those who were leaving the audience didn't know that they just expressed the matter of "urging the change".
