Chapter 1465: The Heartbreaker (I)
"In the past, like you, I had a heart full of a sense of justice, and I wanted to bring salvation and hope to those who worked hard to live in Jiangbei District......," he said, climbing the stairs of the apartment and walking down the corridor.
The streets outside were in ruins, and so were the apartments. There are black plastic boxes full of garbage in the corners, cigarette butts and empty wine bottles are scattered everywhere, and the walls are covered with dry marks and cracks left by various liquids.
There is a stench in the air, the smell of inferior cigarettes, the smell of spirits, the smell of the human body, the smell of rotten food, the smell of swill......
There was a sparse sound of mahjong playing in the nearest room, and tobacco wafted out through the crack in the door, snaking and swimming in the light.
Those who lose money are cursing, and those who win are laughing...... However, falling into the ears of Tang Fang, he did not feel intimate with mahjong, a cultural heritage unique to his hometown, but on the contrary, he was very repulsive.
In fact, there was not only mahjong tiles crashing into the room, but also the sound of pokers falling on the hard table, the sound of exhaling smoke, and the sound of wine burping.
Thunder Road? Sid stood outside the door, letting the inferior smoke that seemed to spread like a cloud covering his face.
"Twelve years ago, my son was born and my wife was suffering from postpartum depression. Their yelling and yelling kept her and her children from sleeping. I came here and politely asked them to be quiet, but I was full of boxing and was beaten on the bridge of my nose because someone said that I made him lose money. ”
"You know what...... Some people lose a month's salary in a few hours and then go home to find their wives and children to vent their anger, or rob travelers who pass by with the smell of alcohol and smoke. ”
"As for those who have won the money, they may get drunk and smear vomit all over the corridors, or they may go to the nearest tavern and throw the money on the woman's belly."
"Others ......" he stood outside the door of the second room as he said this.
There was the sound of dancing and singing, but it was not pleasant, there was a hysterical taste.
The door isn't closed, Shade Road? Sid opened with a slight push.
Tang Fang walked over and saw two men hugging each other and twisting their bodies through the dim light of the room, and a ***-woman lying on the dirty sofa next to him, gasping for breath with a hedonistic smile on her face.
On the floor next to the couch were syringes and vomit, and farther on the dirty carpet was a baby under the age of one, crawling slowly with his short hands and feet.
Thunder Road? Sid didn't finish his sentence, because he didn't need to, and the scene in front of him perfectly explained what he wanted to say next.
He continued to walk forward to the third room.
There was the screams of women and the roars of men, followed by the sound of cutlery falling on the floor and cupboards falling.
"Would you cut a woman's face with a knife to stop her from having sex with a street thug?" He turned his head, looked at Tang Fang and Tang Lin and said, "He will ......"
"He" refers to the man in the house, and "woman" refers to the woman in the house.
The fourth room was empty and there was nothing.
"When I left Jiangbei District, there was an old woman living alone in this room, and she had bad eyes and couldn't see anything a meter away. At that time, I thought that the guide dog in the house was more reliable than her three children. The guide dog was gone the year after I left, and it was said that it was poisoned by a wandering teenager in the front block because it would bark in the middle of the night, which was annoying. In the third year, the old woman was found hanging herself in her room, her body highly decomposed and emitting a strong stench. ”
Kudelia couldn't help but shudder, thinking that there were still lingering spirits in the house reading the name of the guide dog.
Thunder Road? Sid walked to the fifth room, looked at the old locks and said, "This room has never been occupied, it has not been before, and it will probably not be ...... in the future."
He walked up the stairs at the bottom of the corridor to the second floor, stood in front of the first room, looked at the dusty alloy door and the tattered leather shoes next to it, and said, "Eight years ago there lived a thief here...... Well, he never steals from the rich, he only finds women and children to do it. ”
In the door of the second room was a self-propelled wheelchair, which looked dirty, dirty, and bloodstained.
"Eight years have passed...... I've heard that Viktoria's business has gotten better. He looked back at Tang Fang and said, "Do you know what business she does?" Beg! It's just that I used to beg by myself, but now I have a crippled little grandson to work with, but I don't know where this little grandson came from, it is said that he is blind in one eye, crippled in one hand, and has a broken leg......"
He spoke very calmly, without impassionedness, nor with sighs and sighs, but these words fell into Royass's ears, but for no reason he felt a chill in his back.
There was a scream in the room, and it sounded like a child being beaten.
"I was relieved to see that Victoria still had a lot of strength to live." Thunder Road? West Germany continued to walk forward.
Tang Fang looked at the dilapidated self-propelled wheelchair with mixed feelings. Should he lament how life turns people into ghosts, or resent the vile viciousness of the old woman? Or despise the harm she has done to the little goodness left in the world?
Hear from Sander Road ahead? West German's voice: "Morse worked in a mining company as a young man, and was a small boss, flattering to his superiors and making things difficult for his subordinates, and in your words a loyal dog. However, one day he got drunk and ignored the persuasion of the people around him to operate the mining machine, which eventually led to the death of two workers. Instead of trying to exonerate him, his allegiances kicked him away. So Morse spent 5 years in prison, and after being released from prison, he came to Jiangbei District to help people violently collect debts for a living. ”
Then he continued to walk forward: "Pointing to a locked door, the owners of this room are a husband and wife, who usually do some small business on the road near the main road, do not steal or rob, go out early and return late...... However, people in the neighborhood will not come to them to consume, because they all know that this couple is good at shoddy, and they are short of catties and pounds. They really don't steal or rob, they cheat and deceive, what is the target...... Most of the time it's the passers-by. It seems that after saving some money in the past few years, the family has moved to the south bank of the Ryder River. ”
Thunder Road? Sid continued upstairs...... Tang Fang hesitated for a moment but followed.
This time, the mayor who came out of the slum did not go door-to-door to explain what kind of people lived inside, what kind of origins, and what kind of stories they had before. He walked along, and suddenly stopped in front of a half-hidden door.
He looked up at the moon hanging high in the night sky and the alienated stars, and said to himself: "As the mayor of Bogda City, I have been away from Jiangbei District for eight years, but it does not mean that I have completely neglected this land. To put it bluntly, I know better than anyone what is happening within a three-kilometer radius, especially in this apartment building. ”
"Count the time, it's already started."
He turned his head to look at Tang Fang and said, "Bogda City TV has an interview show today, I think it is necessary for you to watch it." ”
Tang Fang frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Does this have anything to do with your affairs?" ”
Thunder Road? "It's not just about me, it's about the people of the entire Jiangbei district," said Sid. ”
Hear him say that, including Pinault? Eibar, Royas, Donlin, and Walder all frowned involuntarily.
Tang Fang took a deep breath, raised his right wrist, and his fingers were under the key points of the mobile video camera, with beams of blue light shooting out, outlining a holographic stereoscopic image in mid-air.
Like Sander Road? As West Germany said, Bogda city television is broadcasting a live talk show.
Speaking of which, the topic of this talk show is very sharp and quite sensitive------ on whether the reform of the Phoenix Empire is necessary?
From the theme of this show, it is not difficult to see that Virginia? ALEXANDER DECIDED TO REFORM THE PHOENIX EMPIRE AND REUSE MARLOWE? A series of initiatives by young politicians like Smith have spread throughout the Monya Empire and have caused a lot of repercussions.
Surprisingly, Bogda City Television showed a relatively open-minded attitude on this kind of matter, daring to be the first to eat crabs, inviting some prominent political critics to stand on the podium and explain their feelings about Virginia? Alexander's views on the big move of reforming the political TI system.
Why is this issue so acute and sensitive? Although the internal environment of the Phoenix Empire is very different from that of the Monya Empire, such as Virginia? Alexander's current situation is very bad, unlike the monopoly of power like Kirclough I, such as the-for-tat of dissident factions within the country, and is experiencing a serious internal strife...... However, there may be many differences in the details of the political TI system, but they are very close in terms of the composition of interest groups and class division.
Discussing whether there is a need for political TI reform in the Phoenix Empire is, to some extent, discussing whether there is a need for political TI reform in the Monya Empire.
From this point of view, the talk show of Bogda City TV is not only sensitive, but simply bold.
It touches the nerves of not only those in power, but also all the people, so whether it is through TV channels or online channels, many people in Brady Star are paying attention to the progress of the program.
After the moderator introduced the chaotic situation within the Phoenix Empire, he began to ask several commentators in the audience, asking them to talk about the situation in Virginia? Alexander's determination to carry out political TI system reforms.
Not surprisingly, someone said this was Virginia? Alexander was forced to helplessness. In this way, he is in a vulnerable position to gain wider support from society.
Some people also say maybe it's Marlowe? Smith coerced Virginia? Alexander made the decision to reform, knowing that the man had been the governor of the Covenant's Babylonian star system for many years, and God knows if he had been influenced by the Covenant's unique social culture and ideology in that environment, and became a staunch reformer.
……
In short, these people began to express their opinions, and the host would also upload the essence messages collected from the network to the big screen for more people to see, so as to strengthen the interaction on and off the stage.
This is just the starting topic of the talk show, and it is definitely not the climax. As the conversation deepened, the moderator, consciously or unconsciously, gradually led the rising guests to the key question of whether the Phoenix Empire should carry out political TI reform, and whether it would be beneficial to do so.
Two of the guests reacted quickly, becoming restrained and cautious, choosing to answer the abbot's questions in ambiguous words.
But there was a man named Madison? The people at Labo don't know whether they are unresponsive or brave and speak their hearts very frankly. He said he admired Marlowe very much? Earl Smith, can stand in the force field of the people of the whole country to advance the cause of reform, without fear of Ingrid? Alexander, Kursk? A recalcitrant force like Alexander, fighting for dreams, fighting for hope, fighting for justice, is like another person in the Covenant.
He didn't say the name of another person, but anyone who stood in front of the TV and was interested in watching the program knew who that person was, what his name was, where he came from, and what he had done.
He said that no matter how dark the night is, it can't stop the dawn of dawn, and those who cry out for the weak, fight for the power of the poor, and dare to shed blood for the oppressed are the real heroes of this world and the hope of the entire human race. And not those vampires who hold power and play with people's hearts.
His generous speech brought the show to a climax, and the conversation between the guests was divided and gunpowdered.
Some guests said that the demon of the Star Alliance, who sows fear everywhere, where is Marlowe? Smith's brightness.
Some guests said that the surname Tang is a barbarian who cares about killing and burying, he always puts on a hypocritical appearance of respecting himself and others, and in fact imposes his own ideas and political views on others, which is completely a spiritual tyrant.
Some guests wanted to be peacemakers, reminding those present that what they were discussing now was the affairs of the Phoenix Empire, not what happened in the Star Alliance society, and it had nothing to do with what the kid surnamed Tang had done and what he was advocating.
Where there is a peacemaker, there is a provocateur, and that man accuses Madison? Ryder sees the enemy of the nation as a great hero, an insult to the entire nation, and a desecration of the honor of the nation.
Madison? Undeterred by the verbal attacks of those around him, Labo said: "What are you afraid of? Afraid of what I'm saying? You're scared even if you talk...... You won't even be allowed to speak...... You are like the nobles, who seem to have power in one hand, but in fact you are despicable cowards...... Don't say words of condemnation, even words of criticism are terrible to death. ”
"Someone has to stand up and say something...... Stand up and tell this country that under the ravages of warship guns and whips, the people who are accustomed to being cowardly and cowardly, accustomed to being submissive, the blood of the martyrs is still passed on, and the torch of hope is still being passed on......"
Have a guest leave their seats and stand in Madison? Lebbo said loudly in front of him: "Your so-called big hero is playing hide and seek with those bugs. Your so-called true warrior doesn't even have the courage to send soldiers to Mengya, even if he dares to come, thousands of good men in Mengya will not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood to protect their homeland, and prevent that demon from stepping into the country for half a step. ”
