Chapter Ninety-One: The Bear Breaks the Stick
"The fire in the north of the city was started by the western flash you created! If not, why lock us all up? β
Faced with the accusations of several homeless families who were killed by the fire and accused him in unison, Wu Ran was already physically and mentally exhausted.
Of course, he still had to be mentally strong, first in his heart to stick the knife of General Perrier, who was also mixed with accusations, into sixteen holes of honeycomb coal, and then he could calmly tell nonsense to the victims who were temporarily living in the shelters:
"Everyone, don't be impatient. The fire in the north of the city is not something that our central government wants to happen, and the central government of Elta will do everything to maintain law and order and stability throughout the country, and only in this way can the rapid development of all parts of Elta be promoted. Therefore, you should believe that the only person who caused the fire in the north of the city was someone else, except for an accident. β
"Then why are you locking us up? We are the victims of burned houses! The people you want to detain should be the ones who set fire to our house! β
"So, don't be impatient." Wu Ran shook his hand a little impatiently, signaling the people below to be quiet. "I think that the gangsters who are not good for some of you, or some of you, have not yet emerged from the shadows, so here you can be fully protected and have absolute peace, which will also make it easier for us to handle the case, and it will be good for everyone, right? β¦β¦β
This set of nonsense is really well written, and the inhabitants except Perrier immediately lose their confidence.
"Furthermore, we are only registering people who enter and leave your residential areas, and we are not restricting your personal freedom. In addition, we do not charge even a penny for temporary housing and basic food, as well as all basic household items. Until the cause of the fire is found out and the real culprit is found. β
It was easy to put these nervous citizens into the dormitory with Perrier, and Wu Ran, who walked back to his residence, almost couldn't get up as soon as he lay down on the bed, and the series of events that happened today really exhausted him. A fire broke out in the north of Kamla in the front, and Perriya had to deal with a possible ill-intentioned villain. What else seems ......? Wu Ran, who was a little confused, had long forgotten about the matter of "Taliaos" and the "Denarius Chamber of Commerce".
Falling asleep, that's not going to. The first thing Wu Ran did when he got into bed was to plug in the power of the tablet, and then turned out the fire teaching materials - to find the truth of the fire in the north of the city, it was necessary to trace the root cause from the fire scene.
Wu Ran certainly believed that he must be behind this incident, but like his predecessors and colleagues, he had to have "evidence" in order to drag the real culprit, or General Perrier, to the guillotine and finally hang him on the lamppole at the gate of Kamra.
The seemingly blackened and shattered wreckage at the fire scene is the key to breaking the situation. First of all, in this case, the most important thing is the point of fire, and then the cause of the fire. If the fire started in General Perrier's house, hum. The corners of Wu Ran's mouth curled, and that was the chance to win.
While Wu Ran was reviewing the knowledge of "reverse heat diffusion" and "arson burning marks", in the containment dormitory separated by several walls, Perriya was sitting and talking with the subordinate magicians who had arrived in a hurry.
The space of one meter outside the two of them in the house was cut off by silent magic, so Perrier did not care about the risk of being overheard or even the plan was exposed, and closed the curtain to openly discuss the details of the plan.
"Their water cannon is the most feared firefighting weapon right now, so we have to work hard again to lure these firefighters of theirs to another fire by diverting the tiger from the mountain."
Perrier's subordinates looked embarrassed: "This is inevitably a little difficult for me, you must know that the preparation time for the 'deflagration' magic is very long, and it is difficult for us to find supporters in this isolated city, this is not the same as before, General Perrier." You have to think twice, there are so many people in this city besides people from other worlds who want to break your body to pieces......"
"'Ten thousand pieces of broken corpses'?" Perrier's nostrils erupted with a burst of air, almost flushing his nose hair out of his nostrils. "It's quite capable, you think you can crush me with the power of the otherworldly people and the bullshit 'Elta Central Government'? How can Elta's old glory have the share of these parasites and cowards? Let's put it this way, my recommendation for you is the 'Liberation Ship' that will arrive at the port in a week's time, that is, near the dock where the new liner that the otherworldly people have been trying to advertise will be berthed. At that time, there will be some of my former subordinates who will help you create a riot and divert the military and police who are guarding the aliens. This time, we want to play a big game, even if it is not a pity! β
Perriya did not notice the fine sweat on his face and forehead, and arrogantly spread a "map of Kamra" on the table, which was publicly sold.
"Look, my friend, the brave magician Taro Luze." Perriyeh's left hand patted his subordinates' shoulders, and his right hand firmly pointed to the northwest corner of the area that he had blackened with ink, "As long as we destroy that place, the people of the other world will be scattered in this city, the overall situation must be determined, lock up the gate of Kamla and loot it, we can go to the sea with a boat, and we can hijack the people of the other world to negotiate terms with the central government of Elta, and at the worst, we can live a few days of peace." β
Taroluze's cold sweat is about to flow into a waterfall; At the beginning, Perrier negotiated with him, and the ultimate goal was only to set fire to the city or go out to the sea, and then break free from the iron arms of the central government and go to the vast outside world to find a free and easy life, instead of being restricted on various issues as he is now treated as a "suspect of the rebels".
"What? Taro Luze, you're scared? Perrier looked up and saw Taroluze's wavering expression. If we've decided to do it, why don't we do something big together? Perhaps there are many people in this world who miss the virtuous government of the former emperor Charles, and are dissatisfied with the harsh government of people from other worlds. β
"But isn't His Majesty the Emperor Doniva also on the side of the people of another world?" "And now you can see that the poor people of this city of Kamra, and the vast majority of the merchants and craftsmen, sincerely welcome their arrival. β¦β¦β
"The human heart, the human heart. It's the damn heart again. Perrier's face showed some imperceptible displeasure. What did the ancestors of the Charlesian Emperor rely on to open up great causes? It's not a damn popular heart, it's the killing of warriors and the accumulation of military exploits! What is the use of the judgment of those poor ghosts who are as unworthy of pity as mosquitoes, who indulge in the gains and losses of a few silver coins all day long? All we need to do is take control of this Kamla city and kill hundreds of his disobedient thorns, and how can anyone disobey and fear us? You have to know that if the people of the other world don't know how to hang those who don't obey their 'laws' on the city gates, how can the city of Kamla be pacified in ten days? Taro Luze, you're still too young! β
"So, what's that you've blacked out there? Why would you want to scatter the people of the other world, destroying not their town hall, but outside the city? Taroluzer didn't dare to say anything wrong with his former boss's attitude, so he had to change the subject.
"It's a warehouse for people from another world. Only one corner could be seen from the walls of Kamra, but even if it was only one. I could also perceive that the defenses there were extraordinary. For example, in the barracks of the city, there is only one iron fence with an iron ring on the top of the barracks, and there are two lanes. Moreover, the entire building seems to be made of steel, and even the gate is an iron plate that is rolled up and closed, and the area is frighteningly large. β
"Oh my God......" Taro Luzer apparently understood the age-old theorem that "the more heavily guarded, the higher the value of a place", "that is to say, it is precisely because of ...... that the people of the other world and their henchmen have been able to grow from the surrounding area that has been deprived of food to be almost inexhaustible, and to be able to support the poor people of this city to work hard for them?" β
Perriya nodded vigorously: "Just destroy there, all the materials transported by the people of the other world will be wiped out, and then they have the hearts of the people, what use can they have?" Unable to pay their food, they can only choose our side, and trade their loyalty and obedience for their bowed heads...... Tarot Luze, this is order! The poor, the stupid, and the worthless should be reminded by us with their own blood that it should be us who are the masters, and we will always be us, not them who are ready to move and ride on our heads with the power of people from another world! β
"It's crazy, General Perrier." Taroluzer understood Perriya's plan in its entirety at once. "It seems that you have prepared food, or enough money to buy people's hearts?"
"Why should I prepareβno, why should I?" Perrier's words at this time once again caused the magician Tarotluzer to fall into consternation. "Don't worry, my good brother Taro Luze. What a damn food, the people of the other world have already prepared it for us, so they almost tied a silk thread to it, waiting for us to fetch it. β
"You're saying - you're going to take the central government supplies from that warehouse at the end?"
"yes." Perrier pointed back to the inky black area on the map, "I mean destroying it, and I don't mean burning all those valuable household goods. I, Perriyer, am not as rich as the big businessmen in the city, and I can do such a ruined thing. β
With that, Perrier folded the drawings and quickly put them back into his pocket. "That's all for today. Taroluzze, put away your 'barrier', there is an uninvited guest to visit. Let the old man meet him for a while. β
