"Chapter 145: Reform in Progress"

The goddess of fate not only blinds herself, but also blinds those she favors.

- Marcus Tulius Cicero (Roman statesman, orator, orator, jurist, and philosopher)

Oscar never imagined that it would be so tragic; The student was so corrupt that he wanted to send not only the old man to hard labor, but also his two sons. He even planned to dispose of them silently during the hard labor, which was simply bold! Just as Oscar was about to soothe the old man with a few words, a neat and hurried footsteps came; It turned out that this student had finally arrived; It seems that he not only came on his own, but also brought with him the hundred family guards that Oscar had prepared for Sanluri. His most elite family guard turned out to be a tool for others to do evil, Oscar is really helpless!

"Who dares to commit murder with a knife under the rule of the House of Augustus, and not hurry up and arrest him; Otherwise, don't blame my guards for being ruthless. "This student arrived before he arrived, and his tone was astonishing; When did his guard, the leader of House Augustus, become his bodyguard? Oscar now finally has a new understanding of these so-called corrupt officials, and it seems that no matter what kind of thing, as long as it comes to the hands of such people, it can become their tool; Oscar wanted to see what the student was trying to do, so he helped the old man into the crowd, leaving Licinius to continue holding the man hostage by the carriage.

When the student came to the carriage, Oscar recognized him as a student named Shawei, who usually liked to gather around Dulles; However, because Licinius had never been to the Augustan Family Academy and had never interacted with anyone in the academy, Shawei did not know who Licinius was. Therefore, as soon as he saw Licinius, he said unashamedly: "You quickly release my father, and then kowtow to my father to apologize; I'll consider punishing you lightly, or you'll see for yourself. The 100 elite soldiers behind me are not vegetarians, they are all the guards that the Oscar leader personally gave me; It's not something you're a mountain village can deal with. ”

Yamano Villager? Shawei's words directly aroused Licini's anger, only to see Licinius kick Shawei's father to the ground again. Then he drew the sword in his hand and stabbed him hard in the left leg; The sprayed blood and the sharp pain in his left leg caused the man to let out a pig-killing howl, and Sha Wei's eyes immediately turned red when he saw his father being abused like this by Licini. Sha Wei immediately ordered the guards: "Rush up and kill that mountain villager for me, don't care about the consequences; Even if I accidentally hurt someone nearby, it's not a big deal, and I'm responsible for what happens. You must save my father! ”

Shawei's words caused a commotion in the crowd where Oscar was, and then the crowd began to scatter and hide in the distance; It's everyone's nature to watch the excitement, but your own life is more important, isn't it? To be honest, Oscar didn't expect that this Shawei was not only a downright corrupt official, but also a daring murderer; But. Just because Savoy didn't know Licinius didn't mean the guards didn't know Licinius. These guards were all brought by Oscar from Rome this time, and they were all old guards who had been loyal to the House of Augustus for several years; They were familiar with the generals of the House of Augustus.

It seems inevitable that the identity will be revealed; However, in order to continue to see how capable this Shawei really is, Oscar decided to step back with the crowd himself. Sure enough, the centurion of the hundred-man guard stood up and replied to Shawei: "Your Excellency, Shawei, this person is not the mountain village man you call him; He was the Licinian general of the family. Although there is no subordinate relationship between our guards and General Licinius, it is impossible for us to do anything to any of the family generals without the orders of His Excellency; So I can't carry out your orders. With that, the centurion returned to his ranks.

The centurion's performance pleased both Oscar in the crowd and Licinius, who confronted Shavoy; The guards were originally used to temporarily maintain local security, but they were not used to be commanded at will by someone other than Oscar himself. So. Even if the centurion did not come to the aid of Licinius, he was right; After all, the guards should not be involved in these matters without Oscar's orders. And the reason why they followed Sha Wei here in full gear before must have been because Sha Wei lied that someone was making trouble with a knife in Sanluri, so they would go out with such fanfare.

Do you think this is the end of the matter when Savoy learns Licinius's identity? No, you're underestimating Savoy! After hearing the centurion's explanation, Shawei actually retorted to the centurion like this: "Is it because he is a general of the House of Augustus that he can ignore the law and hurt people with a knife in the street?" Could it be that the laws of our House of Augustus are only for the common people, and cannot govern the proud soldiers of these families? As the centurion of the most elite guard of the House of Augustus, you did not dare to draw your sword under the intimidation of a so-called general, regardless of right and wrong; I tell you, if you don't kill this Licinius today, I'll kill you. When the time comes, I'll see if anyone cries out for you! ”

As he spoke, Sha Wei drew his sword and wanted to stab at the centurion, but the centurion was naturally unwilling to be killed inexplicably, and he also pulled out his short sword and began to fight back; But the centurion didn't dare to hurt Shawei without permission, after all, he was also a student of Oscar. Shawe seemed to see the centurion's shrinking. more brazen attacks on the centurion; And it's a lethal move, and it's completely a way of playing that wants to kill him. The farce in front of him is simply beyond Oscar's cognition, and Oscar is now trembling with anger; In the end, Oscar, who couldn't bear it anymore, walked out of the crowd angrily and said to the centurion:

"Gar, take down Shavoy for me! I'd like to see how this sharp tooth turns right and wrong upside down in front of me. Oscar's words were immediately and strictly enforced by the Garcenturion. Originally, Gal didn't know how to end today's farce; But as soon as Oscar came out, Gal understood everything, no wonder General Licinius, who had been the leader of the guard, would appear here, and it turned out that His Excellency the Leader had also arrived. At this moment, the Garcenturion used all his strength without any hesitation, and with a single blow, Shawei's saber was knocked out of his hand and flew away; There was even a bloody wound left by Shawei's wound.

In fact, this wound was deliberately left by Gal, in order to "repay" Shawei's arrogant behavior just now; And Oscar also acquiesced to Gal's behavior, because this Shawei was too unpopular. Of course, it is undeniable that Shawei's injury is also related to his own loss of consciousness, and there is no way for him to hear Oscar's voice; Since Oscar himself gave a speech in the Family Academy last time, all the students in the Family Academy have also known Oscar, including the Shawei in front of him.

Shawe didn't care about his bleeding arm, but quickly thought about the purpose of Oscar's move and why Oscar was here; In the end, Savoy decided to take a gamble! Thereupon. Shawei suddenly threw himself at Oscar's feet, knelt on the ground, hugged Oscar's thighs and cried: "Your Excellency, Leader, you are here; Your general, Licini, came uninvited to attack us in the city of Sanluri, stabbing people in the streets. I begged to bring in the Calcenturion and his guards, but I did not expect the Calcenturion to collude with General Licinius against me, an unarmed cadet; All the people of Sanluri present were witnesses. Please be the leader of my mind! ”

Shawei's shamelessness is already invincible in the world, at least Oscar has never encountered such shamelessness in his life in the two worlds; However, Shavay underestimated both Oscar's ferocity and his own acting skills. The current Oscar is not the ordinary college student who just came to the Roman world, and the intrigue in the city of Rome and the bloody battles in the Battle of Lilicus have made Oscar scheming. And no longer regard human life as supreme; For Shawei's crying, Oscar not only did not relent, but felt extremely angry at his hard mouth.

Oscar didn't speak, just silently picked up Shawei's saber from the ground, then slashed at Shawei with both hands with the sword; Although Oscar is impulsive, he can't break the law he made by himself, so Oscar just chops off one of Shawei's arms. Looking at Shawei, who was wailing and rolling in a pool of blood, Oscar thrust his saber hard into his severed arm; Then Oscar said to the people of Sanluri, "Citizens of Sanluri, I am Oscar, the leader of the House of Augustus; My original intention in implementing the New Deal was simply to allow everyone to live a quiet and peaceful life and enjoy a fair life.

But I, Oscar, chose a rogue ruffian like Shawei to serve as a local official, and I almost harmed my fellow villagers; For this, I, Oscar, should apologize to all of you. Of course, it's not just my fault, the Shawei father and son under my feet are the ones you hate. It is also the existence that I, Oscar himself, hated the most; In order to punish them, and to respect the laws of our House Augustus, I have decided to arrange for a new official to come to Sanluri tomorrow to try Shawey and his sons in public. At that time, I hope that all the villagers and elders can come and see, and our Augustus family will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! ”

After speaking, Oscar also bowed and apologized to the people of Sanluri present very carefully; And the people naturally thanked Dade to the Oscar leader. Although the behavior of the Shawei father and son in Sanluri is a bad record, Oscar, as the leader of the House of Augustus, can deign to bow and apologize to everyone, the common people; Naturally, people don't care about it anymore. Moreover, Oscar and Licini's on-site punishment of Shawei and his son has also made everyone vent their dissatisfaction in recent days; Looking at the Shawei father and son who were still rolling in a pool of blood, everyone's mentality finally became calm.

After the guards took Shawei and his son away under the command of Garr, the other cadet officials also heard the news and came to Oscar's eyes; Although they did not participate in the power and blessing of the Savoy father and son in Sanluri. But there is also a suspicion of shielding classmates. Oscar did not punish them with any punishment, but stripped them of their official positions; Let them continue to implement the new policy in Sanluri in the name of the cadets, and those who perform well will be re-promoted to officials, and those who still do not perform well will rush back to their hometowns and never be hired.

Besides. Oscar also immediately ordered Licinius to send cavalry to summon Dulles from Vipsani to Sanluri; Tomorrow's trial meeting, Oscar decided to let Dulles himself try Shawey and his sons. Moreover, the implementation of the new deal reform in Sanluri will also be implemented by Dulles; This is Oscar's honing of Dulles and a test. If Dulles doesn't perform to please Oscar, or doesn't meet the standards of a good official; Then Oscar will personally destroy this "best governor" in Vipsani's mouth.

For with his ability and wisdom, once he does harm, it is more lethal than Shawei; The House of Augustus could afford the benefits of not having genius, but not the catastrophe of genius. It's all about Dulles' performance. Tomorrow's trial assembly is only the first step, and the later ruler of Sanluriosa will send the Jinyi Guard to personally monitor Dulles; If he really showed something that shouldn't be shown, then don't blame Oscar for being ruthless.
