Seeing the reaction of the citizens, Lear shouted: "Citizens of Port Lear, what are you afraid of? What are you fearing? It is the sinners who are afraid, not the good ones! The hatred of blood will be repaid with blood! I will punish the sinners in a more cruel way if they hurt my citizens." Fear the sinners, fear those who want to mutilate my citizens! Only fear can stop them from continuing to maim the people of Port Lear, not forgive! A tooth for a tooth! Blood for a blood!"

Several hot-blooded youths were infected and shouted: "A tooth for a tooth!"

The others shouted, "Tooth for tooth!"

"They are sinners, murderers, and we should not have sympathy for them!"

"Sinners die innocently, unforgivable!"

"To sympathize with them is to murder the innocent!"

The executioners of the garrison began to use all kinds of torture, using the most brutal methods and potions to torture the twenty people who had been sentenced to death by Lear.

Three of them committed suicide by biting their tongues because they could not bear the torture, and the rest were hanged by gallows.

Lear's gaze swept over the rest of the people, looked at the four Lear Harbor people, and asked, "I want to ask you, as Lear Harbor people, why don't you go to the garrison to report when you see someone mutilating your compatriots?"

One of the maids mustered up her courage and exclaimed, "You are a nobleman, don't you really know why? We are only lowly commoners, what can we do if we denounce him? You will indeed punish him, but what about the previous earl? What about the other officials? No nobleman before you has been punished for a commoner, no! Our lives are not as good as a hundred gold carats!

Her words resonated with many citizens.

The Starry Sky Continent is a real human-cannibalistic society.

This maid spoke the hearts of many civilians, and if it was not handled well, all previous efforts could be in vain.

Lear sighed lightly, then stood up and bowed ninety degrees, "On behalf of the former earls and officials of Port Lear, I apologize to you. ”

The audience was silent. These commoners have lived for decades, and they have never heard of a lord apologizing to the commoners, or even bowing, which is definitely the weirdest thing about the Homan Empire.

"She's right," Lear said. Even if he had denounced Jefferson, the previous officials would not have punished the nobleman. But, I tell you, it is different now! No official dared to come forward before, but the captain of the garrison, Moore, stood up! No one dared to punish the nobles who killed the commoners, I dare! In my realm, the sinner will be punished, whether he is a nobleman or a commoner!"

"As long as you are my people, I will protect you, and as long as you call me lord, I will protect you! I will make you rich as long as you submit to me! I can assure you that every citizen of Port Lear is under my protection!"

"To hurt my citizens is to hurt me!"

Some of the suffering paupers involuntarily fell to their knees, wept bitterly, and chanted "Great Lord Lear", and their kneeling led the others, and soon all the commoners fell to their knees in submission.

Then the others knelt or half-knelt, and finally only Lear and Ness were still standing.

Ness looked up at Lear and slowly fell to her knees, her eyes filled with adoration and admiration.

Lear pulled Nice up and said, "Everybody, get up!"

Instead of foolishly proposing the concept of equality or liberty for all, and not confronting the aristocracy, he instigated a "cult of personality", suggesting to the citizens of Port Lear that only he could bring happiness to all.

He knew that it would take a long time to control Port Lear from top to bottom, so he simply reversed the line and controlled Port Lear from the bottom up.

Lear added: "I would like to take this opportunity to announce a few things to you. First, I will build a nursing home, and all the elderly over the age of 60 who are willing to come to the nursing home will be supported by me, and second, I will build an orphanage, and all the orphans will also be supported by me. Nursing homes and orphanages are not short-term, but long-term, and as long as I Lear lives for one day, nursing homes and orphanages will exist for one day!"

The "uproar ......" The execution ground resounded with enthusiastic applause.

Shi Jian snorted coldly: "The highest level of charity is to take other people's money and let the recipient thank him. ”

Lear told her, "Nursing homes are charity, but orphanages are not." These little ones, who have made me my father, will in the future join the garrison, the private army, the knights, the family mercenary regiment or the garrison, and they will be the foundation of my foothold! If I were alive then. ”

When the applause died down, Lear added: "The Winston family's fortune has been counted, and there are 9.5 million gold carats. And this money will be used to improve the living environment in the slums, first of all, so that every citizen can live in a solid house. When the slums are renovated, I will renovate the civilian areas, and I want everyone to know that I, Earl Lear, want every citizen to have a warm home!"

This time, the applause was even louder, because it concerns every civilian.

"I know there will be people who say that you believe Count Lear, but not some of the officials. But I now assure you that every penny of mine will be used on you. If you find anyone embezzling this money, then go to me and I will do you justice. If I am not there, you will find the captain of the garrison, Moore, who dares to investigate the nobles, dare to expose Viscount Jefferson, and have a righteous heart. "He's paving the way for Moore.

"If Captain Moore is not there, you can go to Baron Humphrey, who was once the Imperial Treasurer in the Imperial Capital, and even our Horman the Great praises him!

Lear's provocative speech conquered the citizens, and seeing their excitement and eagerness to be a cow and a horse, he thought to himself that it was no wonder that politicians were doing this, this is definitely a god-level brainwashing skill that can stand up to a thousand tempers.

While the iron was hot, Lear walked up to Moore and made him kneel, then drew his long sword and slapped it on Moore's shoulder with the blade, and then slapped it with the other blade in turn.

"Now, in the name of Earl Lear, I will make Moore a Lord! In recognition of his accusation that Viscount Jefferson killed the people of Port Lear, for his defence of power, and for his deeds for Port Lear! for his wit, bravery, and loyalty! I, Earl of Lear, as lord of this land, will be punished for my deeds and rewarded for my merits!"

The commoners didn't know what was going on, they only knew that a small policeman had become a lord for exposing sinners, and that this Count of Lear had not only punished sinners, but also rewarded heroes against them.

Seeing is believing, and ordinary citizens are even more fanatical - they still aspire to become an aristocrat.

To reap the loyalty of civilians is to reap the loyalty of private soldiers and garrisons. As long as the military power is in hand, those nobles without fiefdom will not be able to set off the storm.
