Chapter 204: Giving and Reaping
With Conan's order, the entire River Country was in an uproar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As long as they were involved in this matter, whether it was a nobleman or an official, they were all captured by the ninjas of Konoha and sent to Kyoto in the country of rivers continuously.
In the palace of the Daimyo of the River Country, at this moment, the usually pampered Daimyo was completely confused, and his face was pale.
"Teacher, what are they Konoha ninjas trying to do? Is it the land of fire that wants to annex our country of rivers? ”
The old man, who was called a teacher, frowned: "It doesn't seem to be for this reason... Hear them say that it seems that Jingyu has offended them? ”
"Of course, it is not excluded that there are thoughts that are not good for us... Maybe their so-called construction corps is here to attack us, and the name of that construction may be just a cover..."
The more he thought about it, the more complicated he felt, and he sighed helplessly: "We can't find out the specific reason, and we haven't received a reply to the message sent to the Daimyo of the Fire Country until now." ”
"So, what should we do with that teacher? In case they rush in and take us away..."
The old man pondered for a moment and decided, "Anyway, let's get out of here first." First seek refuge in other countries. ”
Just when the daimyo and the others had already made up their minds to evacuate, someone suddenly came in and reported the news.
"Report to the Daimyo-sama, news has come from Kawashinobi Village, and they ask if they want to stop Konoha's actions."
When the daimyo heard this, he replied, "Stop Konoha? Do they have that ability? Tell them not to resist, and tell them to send more people to protect me. ”
After saying that, the daimyo ordered again: "Hurry up and get ready to go, and bring all my treasures." ”
In the cell of the Konoha camp, Conan looked through the roster in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"The country of the river is really corrupt enough, at least half of the nobles and officials are involved in this matter, and this is still not counting those little people who are not deeply involved but are just at the bottom..."
Speaking of this, Conan sneered: "It's really an interesting country, so many officials are thinking about how to buy their people at a good price, do they really think that they have no one to govern?" ”
Looking at the prison full of people, even Zilai was a little worried.
"Conan, are you sure you're going to kill them all? There must be more than 300 people here..."
"Kill them all, of course." Conan said decisively: "The people who can be locked up here can say that everyone has the blood of innocent people on their hands, and I can forgive some people, but... I absolutely cannot forgive such a person. ”
"Teacher Jiraiya, people like them are incurable people, if you don't kill them, they will continue to do evil."
"Well, it's not that I don't approve of your approach, it's just that it's a little too radical, and..."
"Forget it, the teacher has handed over all the disposal rights to you, so I won't say anything more."
At the same time, a steady stream of people continues to flock to Kyoto, the land of rivers.
On the one hand, Conan's announcement of the public execution of the crimes that led them to this point, and more importantly, Conan's announcement that they could receive food.
Soon, on the day of the public execution of these people, the people gathered under the execution platform were already crowded, and it was all black and oppressive as far as the eye could see.
"Ahem, it's all quiet." Conan shouted loudly on the execution table using amplified ninjutsu.
"I'm sure you've heard the story that they're the culprit for you, but maybe you don't know much about the situation. Here I will explain it again. ”
Conan pointed to the bound people behind him and shouted, "They were the ones who collected heavy taxes on you during the war in the name of our Konoha, and here I promise that the tax collection has nothing to do with us Konoha at all." ”
"And then they spread rumors that you had to leave your hometown, and then bought all the real estate in your hands at a low price, causing you to go bankrupt completely."
"Hum-" The crowd exploded at once, and the people were in an uproar.
After a while, after the crowd calmed down a little, Conan continued: "But this is not the end, and then they will completely drain your value, forcing those who are already bankrupt and unable to survive to sign slave contracts and become slaves, causing your wives to be separated." ”
"As far as I know, this isn't the first time they've done this, and besides, they've committed all sorts of other crimes..."
Hearing this, the people below were already a little crazy, and they began to want to attack the defense line of the Konoha ninjas.
"Quiet!" Conan let out a loud shout and spewed a huge fire dragon into the sky in awe.
"Bang!" With the explosion of the fire dragon, the crowd suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Conan with some fear.
"I said, I will naturally give you justice."
Conan looked around at the people underground and shouted, "What do you think I should do with them?" ”
After a moment of silence, a loud voice gathered in the crowd: "Kill them!" Kill them! ”
"Okay, then kill them. Execute! ”
With Conan's order, the bound people were pushed down one by one.
In order to achieve better results, Conan did not choose to be hanged, but instead used a more brutal decapitation.
Before each person killed, someone would read out his deeds, and the people below became more and more excited.
The people of the Land of the River will never forget this day, when the adults who used to be high in the past were slaughtered like chickens at will, killing them for more than an hour.
As he killed the last prisoner, Conan waved his right hand, and the ninjas below brought in a group of people again.
There were about seven or eight hundred of them, men and women, adults and children, who were escorted here at this moment, and they shivered a little when they looked at the blood stains on the ground.
"I am sure that some of you have already recognized them, they are all people we saved from the traffickers, and now they are coming one by one to claim them, and bring back your families, one by one."
As people continued to find their relatives and children, the people below became excited again.
It's just that soon, most of the people became sad again, because there were no children and relatives on the stage, and there were fifty or sixty people left on the stage who were unclaimed, looking at the black crowd below.
Suddenly, a little girl on the stage didn't hold back and cried: "Woo... Mom, where are you? Come and pick me up..."
As if there was a chain reaction, soon everyone was crying sadly, and people kept shouting the names of important people, as if they were crazy.
Conan was also a little sad to see this scene, although he could still find some of them, but many people were afraid that they would never see their relatives again.
"Alright, don't cry." Conan suppressed the crowd commotion again: "That's not all, after that, we will find a way to recover those who have been sold before, here I promise, we Konoha will definitely do our best." ”
Hearing Conan's words, hope was rekindled in the eyes of the people below, and they looked at Conan expectantly.
"Alright." Conan pointed to a platform on the side and said, "The matter is almost in progress here, so you will line up one by one to get the necessary food, and then return to your respective villages, and then we will send people to distribute the planting food and rations to each village one by one." ”
"And..."Conan sighed and looked at the crowd in front of him, "The days of suffering are over, let go of your sorrow and live well." ”
After a moment of silence, I don't know who led the way, people suddenly knelt down towards Conan, and the scene of tens of thousands of people kneeling at the same time couldn't help but make Conan a little shocked.
"Thank you... Thank you..."Most of them were already in tears and could only repeat the phrase over and over again.
Seeing this scene, Conan couldn't help but laugh slightly, this is what I'm looking for, compared to what I've gained... Those efforts are not really much at all...
Suddenly, a person in the front row asked loudly, "Can you tell us your name, my lord?" ”
"My name?" Conan's gaze drifted away...
"Conan... Edogawa Conan. (To be continued.) )
