Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Homeless Man Forced the Palace

The chaos and turmoil in the bazaar had already alarmed everyone in the city of Cesar, and Duke Borot was no exception. After Lycles came in to inform the Imperial Janissaries and the city defense forces that there was an abnormality, the duke, although he had some doubts in his heart, still stuck to his own one-third of an acre of land, and refused to slack off in the slightest.

Adrian was taken away by General Iros, along with the guy nicknamed Sledgehammer, and Albert sensed in an instant that there must be something mysterious about it. He didn't make much of a difference with the general, and hurried back to his temporary residence.

Lao Bao saw that he came alone, and the two followers behind him were gone, so he naturally thought of what might have happened, and the father and son discussed the current situation and decided to take the initiative to explain the situation to the emperor, and then do the district.

Iros, for their part, had long been in cahoots with the Duke of Lloyle, and they took advantage of the vengeful feelings of these vagrants in the sewers in a vain attempt to take the opportunity to impose the crime of slander on Old Bao and Little A.

The fact that Adrian had been a slave prisoner was now a great lever to be exploited. The legal successor of a dignified principality should recruit such a person with a bad record, at worst, it is a lack of investigation, and at worst, it is ill-intentioned.

Emperor Delviot, of course, did not take sides on the surface, and he received the Duke and his son politely, and listened very carefully to their advice and advice. His answer was very vague, but there was no doubt that when the matter was clarified, the innocent person would naturally be released.

This statement left the Duke of Borot and Albert with little to argue. The turmoil in the market was one of the biggest and most appalling cases in the imperial capital of Cesar in the last dozen years, when the guy nicknamed Sledgehammer killed and injured dozens of people with an iron hook in one go. There were many knights and nobles who had come to the Emperor's banquet, and they were dissatisfied with Deliot's detention here, but now such an incident had occurred, and even if they demanded that the murderer be severely punished, otherwise there would be no place for this breath.

Del T.L. agreed, of course, because this would be tantamount to gagging Duke Borot's mouth, so that he would not be able to intercede for Adrian.

The fact that Kagen disappeared in order to chase the two jumping clowns not only worried Albert, but also created an opportunity for General Iros to create a false pretext out of nothing.

The combination of a slave prisoner and a mysteriously missing dwarf scoundrel can't help but make people wonder what Albert is going to do.

There was a lot of discussion in the market, some said that there was no excuse for the crime they wanted to add, and there were also those who supported General Iros's investigation to the end, anyway, the final catch must be a big fish.

The vagabonds in the sewers burst out with amazing energy at such a critical moment, and they were in trouble, frenzied by the arrest of the sledgehammer. They want to mobilize the poor people of the entire imperial capital to act together and work hard to denounce this evil oppression in reality.

They are usually a mess of sand, which does not attract the slightest attention from others, and only disdain and occasional pity come to their heads. But this time, the situation was very different, and the three of them became tigers and twisted into a rope. Taking advantage of this sudden reason, a huge wave of protests was formed at once.

The Imperial Guards and the Cisar City Guards were in an embarrassment, and they had received a signal from the top to turn a blind eye to these homeless men as a bargaining chip to blackmail Duke Borot, so that the Emperor's next steps would not be too abrupt. But the current reality is that if the anger of this person is not lowered, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe, after all, this is the capital of the dignified Tamborance Empire, and nothing that insults the emperor's prestige is allowed.

A spark can start a prairie fire, and once the homeless people gather, their momentum will not be worse than anyone else's. Led by the organizer Nicknamed Big Mouth, he is an alternative representative of the homeless man, who neither steals nor robs, nor has any comical talent for earning the necessary living expenses. He had a place in the sewers with his buzzy mouth and nimble mind. In this case, he led almost all the work on the ground, and the underground was handed over to the nominal leader of the homeless man.

This big mouth has long thought about planning such a riot, but he has never found a suitable breakthrough. This long list of consequences caused by the Standing Immortal this time was not in his plan at all. But he was a man who took advantage of the shadow of a certain duke to kill without paying for his life, and a deep resentment soon aroused in the sewers.

Sledgehammer kills in the bazaar, and most of them are aimed at those who have a little face, after all, the food and clothing of the lower class people are a problem, how can there be leisure, where can there be extra coins to visit the market?

Sledgehammer is the hero of the sewers, and his arrest is just as unforgivable as the killing of the Standing Immortals for no reason. The boiling emotions suddenly erupted, and the homeless people in the sewers hit it off with the poor people on the ground, and staged a good show of forcing the palace, strongly demanding that the imperial authorities immediately and unconditionally release them.

They shouted slogans and held up slogans, pointing the finger at Borot's dwarf Kegun, who killed but did not pay for his life in the Brown Bear Tavern.

The entire imperial capital, from the Great Library to the Hippodrome to the Imperial Palace, was filled with demonstrators who elevated the matter to the level of the struggle for freedom, claiming that if the imperial authorities did not do their bidding, they would organize barricade battles to defend their rights to the death.

General Iros and Duke Loyle didn't know what to do, and Emperor Deliot had an ambiguous attitude, and for the time being, he didn't say anything about the requests of these two henchmen.

Loyle complained a few words to General Iros, scratching his ears and cheeks to think of a countermeasure. Is it really necessary to let go of the guy who hacked to death and injured dozens of people? Wouldn't this create a precedent like a bottomless pit? If these untouchables encounter something unpleasant again in the future, as long as they make such a fuss, they can solve the problem, and this is too child's play!

General Iros was calm. He kept his eyes on the crux of the matter, which was Albert's Adrian. He told the emperor's father-in-law: "The vagabond in the sewer can be released, but the men of Borot's son absolutely cannot!"

Loyle said with a blank face: "I naturally understand this truth, but there must be a reason to arrest and release people." Everything must be organized and spoken. Otherwise, not only will we have no place to put our faces, but even His Majesty the Emperor will probably be secretly ridiculed. ”

"Lord Duke, at this point, face can be discarded, and fighting for practical benefits is the most worthy of consideration, and I think Your Majesty himself must be able to understand. ”

Loyle stopped talking, unwilling to take the responsibility, so he surrendered all the rights and consequences to General Iros alone.

The ranks of the homeless are full of all kinds of ** characters, and there are even a few elves who do not want to live in the Danse Forest, preferring to make a living in the big human city.

Big Mouth fully took into account the demands of the people, and arranged the protest slogans very satisfactorily and full of appeal. He demanded that the Empire respond immediately, and that if there was the slightest hesitation or strings attached, the group would carry the storm to the end.

When Deliot learned of this state of affairs in the palace, he had already made up his mind to appease the people. He is a practical person, of course, he has to take care of face, but in reality, he can constantly accommodate and change.

Just as Iros and Loyle were discussing countermeasures, the emperor sent someone to quickly enter the palace to explain the method of dealing with it. Dilliot said very briefly: "The two people caught this time must be released, and neither of them should be held, so that we can gain the initiative." ”

"Your Majesty, wouldn't that be cheaper for Borot's side again?" the two confidants said in unison.

Deliot smiled slightly, and he said calmly: "After so many years, do you still care about the present? I have my own ideas, you don't have to say more!"

Loyle shook his head, and Iros stroked his beard.

They immediately ordered their men to take the sledgehammer and Adrian out of the dungeon, and return them to the demonstrators.

Emperor Deliot lost no time in making a personal appearance, and he talked for a while with several representatives of the populace, surrounded by the Janissaries. He shouted to the crowd and said, "You are the pillars of the Tamborance Empire, and I, as the emperor elected by the Electors, must of course respond to your demands, because your demands are the demands of the Empire. I will return these two men to you now, not because your momentum has overwhelmed me, but because I myself have been destined to work for you all my life since I sat in this position! I hope you will remember this moment today!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, which was filled with resentment and despair, but the Emperor's sudden and unexpected statement led these fanatics to another extreme path. They didn't need to be guided at all, and they directly shouted the slogan of long live the emperor. Elliot became a beacon of light like the sun in their minds.

Adrian was released like the sledgehammer, but he was in greater danger, as the Emperor kept a hand and handed him over directly to the demonstrative homeless people, not Duke Borot himself.

At this moment, the former 24602 hard labor prisoner just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den, wanting to know what his fate was, and listening to the next time to continue.
