"I want to give you a big house to get up? Doniva sneered and tapped her cane on the ground, "If that's what you think, then I still suggest you don't get up." ”

"Your Majesty! If you can listen to Xiaomin's advice, then it doesn't matter if I am broken! Bowitt should have been frightened by the murderous words that oozes between the lines, but now he is like a ghost, and he has no fear—or rather, compared to being pulled out and beheaded, the face he lost in front of everyone has broken his bottom line.

"Your Majesty, don't be complacent, so as not to fall for this trick of the people." Seeing that Doniva's face was slightly wrong, Pippens hurriedly leaned over and whispered - if Doniva was really angry and ordered to kill this worthless ordinary citizen, how bad would the impact be?

"I know." Doniva uttered the words almost through gritted teeth. "This guy is a clever thief, and now I'm embarrassed to put him to death for the crime of bullying the king."

"Your Majesty knows, of course, it's best." Pippons took a step back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also knew that this farce should come to an end." Doniva's hand holding the cane lifted slightly. "This grievance has been revealed, and I won't waste time with these moths. Captain of the Guard, Pippens, we're ready to go back. ”

"Yes." The two closest men bent down and saluted, and then stood up straight again -- a prelude to the leader's speech.

"Silence." Doniva struck the ground with his cane, and the bottom of the alloy cane almost knocked out of the pit in the stone face. "Citizens, please be silent. I have something to say to you now. ”

Falling to the ground, Bowett's eyes instantly sparkled again: Is this a shocking reversal? Is this to be rehabilitated on the spot? His small role has since gotten up and stepped into the pinnacle of his life?

However, it didn't.

"You should all know what happened to my father as a man like Little Hazefinger who dared to die and had no law."

Bowitt's hope and gaze froze together. The surroundings changed from whispering to deathly silence - everyone knew that Doniva was unhappy, and probably eighty percent of the time he was.

"I've been in Shield City for so many years, and I've been kind to everyone. Not to mention anything else, this Bowitt is bullying the king, disrespectful in front of the emperor, which one I can't pull out my sword and kill him in public? With that, Doniva twisted his hand and pulled out the richly decorated pistol from his waist. Pulling the sleeve aimed at Bowitt, who was lying on the ground.

It's too late, it's too soon. Doniva didn't seem to be looking, and pulled the trigger directly—and the bullet flew straight towards little Hazefinger, who had closed his eyes tightly and looked like a righteous and awe-inspiring hero.

"However, I can't." After the gunshot, it was the Emperor Doniva of the Elta Empire who made the first sound of reason. "Bowett, stop struggling, you're not dead yet."

The reason why Doniva's voice was "sanity" was because Bowit's howl had been stacked with the sound of a gunshot that had scared him out of the air—the pistol bullet had merely pierced the stone path in front of him, raising a puff of stone dust.

"The people are the property of the Empire, and the Empire is my property, so I can dispose of it at will? You may have thought it was a matter of course, but now, I, Doniva Siravia, tell you that it is completely wrong. ”

Pippons looked at the captain of the guard who had just been shocked, and showed a smile of secrecy - Doniva has never been a man who likes to kill, let alone kill, and this captain of the guard is still a pattern in this regard.

"The reason I didn't send Bowett directly to his grandfather was because I had rules that had to be followed. His mistakes will be handed over to the courts, to the judges, and to the police, to the prosecutors to collect. I'm not a judge, I'm not a courtroom, I can't do things outside the rules. Even if the Elta Empire is me, my property, I must have rules for owning this property, which is called the Basic Law of All Things, referred to as the Basic Law. ”

"Why did the old Elta Empire, decades after the turmoil, begin to live in misery and starvation, so much so that they prayed for war to save the country? Yes, the Otherworlders are right, because we can't produce two fields of food from one field. But who would dare to say that the fact that the elder Hazefinger easily bought magistrates to occupy roads and bridges is an isolated example? If you have to go around hundreds of meters more every day, will you be hungrier? Will it take more time to get on the road in the car? Citizens, think about it, if a shield city is still like this, how many big cities does Elta have? How many bridges are there in the city? What's more, why does this greedy ink occupation stop at the bridge? So I'm going to hold the Hazefinger family accountable? Oh, how many Hazefinger does Elta have to have? Can I bear to see them die one by one? ”

"Even if I bear it, even if I give the order, it's not worth wasting so much bullets on these people." Doniva winked as two guards lifted the clumped Bowett out of the crowd. "Why did Elta lose? Quite simply, no one takes the laws seriously, or the laws that are made. My father, out of his temper, killed my mother with the sword of a political opponent and deposed me without telling anyone the truth, didn't he follow the rules of the heir to the throne? ”

There was a face-covering exclamation all around. The secrets of the royal family have naturally long been an "open secret" among the people, but listening to Doniva with his own mouth, the current emperor of the Elta Empire, said it in person, it was a different taste.

"The disappearance of the former minister Mirol Qiqimu is actually that he went abroad in a hurry after embezzling a huge amount of money from the treasury, does he meet the rules of being a courtier? During the Battle of Portal, the Eastern Army took it upon itself to cross over to me and collect or even loot grain in various places, what rule does this conform to Elta? If everyone doesn't follow the rules, the old Elta will become a sand castle. ”

Doniva looked around, his face like a lion's eyes, like a wolf coming out of battle, and he had already suppressed the heads of the citizens who were in front of and behind the street to bow their heads by three points.

He lowered his tone by three points before he said slowly: "Today I am your emperor, and I am willing to tie my hands and let Elta come under the joint management of the wise, and all bureaucrats under me, regardless of their size, will be brought to justice." And you, who are the cornerstone of Elta, are still camping in front of the law for the small profits of one ping and two buckets! ”

The slap went through Bowwitt, who was already sitting in his room, and slammed into the faces of most of the residents of the street.

"Won't you open your eyes and see what Elta is like now after all these laws that you are deliberately trying to break through have come into play? Do the little bureaucrats dare to openly stretch out their hands in front of you, as they did before, otherwise they will make things difficult? On the stone road in this shield city, there will be nobles' carriages running all the way unrestrained, and whoever they hit will be unlucky? Whether it is to go out at night to do business, to talk about love and to look at the stars, and there are hooligans who dare to hide in the streets and alleys, either asking for money or death? ”

Every rhetorical question is a soldering iron that burns in Doniva's heart. He had been worried lately that in Shield City and other Green Zones, the Otherworlders would become more and more relaxed, more and more presumptuous, and more and more brazen in oppressing the Elta people due to the negligence of management caused by the expansion of the battle front, just like the Elta bureaucrats did in the past.

Isn't it? Many of the poor people who were in the vicinity of the railway line, the power transmission line construction site, etc., were shot for one reason or another, even chandeliers. Naturally, the Chinese side pushed all these files to Doniva's desk without concealment, but how to judge and believe who is right is two different things.

Individual cases are naturally insignificant, but there are so many such examples that even a determined monarch cannot avoid doubts.

But the truth is the opposite, he is wrong, he is completely wrong. The Otherworldly Man still completes the steps in the plan in a step-by-step manner and transparently as before, like a road roller repairing a road. On the other hand, the actors who play the fragile and ignorant in front of the steamroller, with a bit of fearless barricades, are the last people he wants to see - his people.

On this street, how many people know that part of their building is outside the title deed, but they still want to get a little cheap and stretch out their hands indiscriminately? The collated file given by Consultant Zhao is clearly written and accurate to a single digit. Among them, many adopted illegal means, and the vast majority of them knelt down to threaten and promise intercession.

"One of the fundamental reasons why people from other worlds are strong and rich is that they govern everything in the world according to the law. And those of us who live in darkness have to take out money, fists, and human feelings and blood relatives to compete, and the final result is not who is justified, but who is strong, is this fair? That's right, if you like to be unruly, and if you like to measure the size of the house, I can also disobey the rules and forcibly take away your house and let you all sleep in the stinky ditch, anyway, there are guns and cannons of the Otherworldly people behind me, and the troops of the Otherworld, no matter how much you can make trouble, you can't make a single bullet, right? ”

Hearing this, Pippens, who had always felt that the situation was secure, could not help but shudder—he seemed to think that Doniva, who had been cornered, might really do this—that this was probably not just an empty word, but a threat from the red fruit.

"So, the outcome of what I do in the future depends on what you do. As for this Bowett's 'grievance', everyone must have understood how to deal with it, right? That's pretty much all I want to say. ”

"The presentation was wonderful." As soon as he got into the car, Pippins, who was with Doniva with a stiff face, sent a compliment.

"Wonderful? Wrong, wrong. Doniva shook her head. Officer Pippins, I'm ending up for you! ”
