216 Johnny Eight Fingers
Johnny Eight's name certainly doesn't have Johnny, and it's not called Johnny. His name was Sabin Kaminski, and he was once a serf who escaped and struggled in the shadows of the city of Moon, and it took many years to climb to his current position. He lived under the name of Sabine Kaminski for a while, and then changed his name to Johnny Eight Fingers because he lost two fingers. Someone once asked him why Johnny, and the answer given by Kaminsky was a little helpless.
I just like it, and there is no special reason for that.
Every city has sunshine, and every ray of sunshine has a shadow. If Police Chief Vanessa Thiel is the sunshine of Moon, then Johnny Eight is the shadow of Moon. The sunlight is strong, but it cannot destroy the shadows, and the shadows are dark, but they cannot obscure the sun. Only when sunlight and shadow coexist in harmony can the city enjoy its own peace.
Johnny Eightfinger likes his descriptions of sunlight and shadow, and he applies the same philosophy to his own life. If you want to be the underground emperor of Moon City, you must have a good relationship with Vanessa Tyr. And before Elena's receiver entered the city, he even dined with the police chief in the same box at the Sky Restaurant. And what the two talked about in the dining room was their survival strategy after Elena took over the city. It's just that neither of the two people who participated in the discussion at that time expected that within a few days, they would be sitting together again for the same reason.
"Dude, that Garence Warren is eyeing you right now. At yesterday's square meeting, he boasted to the citizens of this city that he wanted to arrest you and hold a public trial meeting, rectify the law on the spot, and let those who have grievances take revenge. β
In a secluded compound, Police Chief Vanessa is pouring wine for Johnny Eight-Fingered. And Johnny Eight-Fingered received this glass of wine with peace of mind. The police chief in front of him, Vanessa Tyre, is a very knowledgeable person, and he has worked with him very happily in the past days.
"Catch me?" Eight-Fingered Johnny smiled, "He and his people who love Lena, if they want to stay in Moon City, don't make up their minds with me." Although Moon City is not small, if I want to let the situation here be beyond my control, it is still worse to rely on him to love Lena. Scandi Erridri called the regular army to come and try to clear us, but in the end he walked away. This time, he Garence Warren brought less than a hundred people in total, and he wanted to make an example of me, and he thought too highly of himself. β
"That's that," Police Chief Vanessa Thiel nodded as he poured wine for Johnny Eightfinger, "Since ancient times, sunlight has been accompanied by darkness, no matter what doctrine it is, even the Grand Magus can't do anything about those underground industries. What can they do with these mud legs? β
"You know you're still making such a fuss about asking me out?" , Eight-fingered Johnny was a little dissatisfied, "I'll tell you, this Elena doesn't have a long life." What do they want, have you studied it? They want to exterminate the class! Eliminate exploitation and make everyone equal! Don't you think that's a joke? β
"Hahaha-"
After a few dry laughs, Vanessa Thiel did not answer, he did not understand Elena's theory, only knew what communism they were engaged in, and wanted to confiscate all the family property, and the rest, it was not so clear.
"You, you still say that you want to pretend to be close to them, and you want to pretend to be a communist without even understanding other people's theories?" , Eight-Fingered Johnny looked down on the police chief in front of him. You know, the reason why he Vanessa Tyre can become the police chief is largely because of his face.
"What they are talking about now is seeking common ground while reserving differences, and people like me, although they don't understand communism and don't believe in communism, can still coexist with them as long as they don't endanger the interests of the people......
Vanessa Tyre subconsciously replied, but suddenly realized her mistake. He quickly closed his mouth and poured eight finger Johnny full of wine.
"You're still naΓ―ve. In this world, apart from the Great Magus, who have I never seen? What fairness, what rights, what elimination of exploitation, I tell you, are all lies. In the end, it's not whose fist is bigger, who has the final say? Just listen to what they say, but don't take it seriously! β
"That's, at the end of the day, it's a fist-sized question. Isn't it also because of her big fist that they have the closest thing to a mage, Gastens, who is closest to a mage? β
Vanessa was quietly relieved to see that Johnny didn't realize his mistake. He poured Johnny another glass of wine, then poured himself a glass, touched Johnny Eight-Fingered, and drank it all. The heat of the alcohol spread through his body with his movements, and it was warm, making Vanessa feel weak and a little sleepy.
"This ......", Johnny Eight-Fingered obviously meant something, and he looked at Vanessa angrily, "Tyr, you actually poisoned the wine!" β
Vanessa Tyr tried to lift his hand, only to find that he had lost the strength to move, and only then did he confirm that the drug had taken effect. During this meal, Johnny Eight-Finger drank more alcohol and drank more drugs than him, and his current condition could only be worse than him. Vanessa glanced at the angry Johnny Eight-Finger and chuckled softly.
"Yes, I poisoned it, it's not a deadly poison, it's just making you weak."
"But you drank it yourself! You don't want to kill me, don't youβββ"
Before Johnny Eight-Finger could finish his question, a dense burst of gunfire could be heard outside the wall. Although he was not familiar with this kind of gunshot, Eight-Fingered Johnny had also obtained a Valiant Steam Rifle from the underground black market, and he could naturally hear the sound of a burst steam rifle. There is only one possibility for a team that can use a burst of steam rifles in the city.
"You actually voted for Elena?"
Johnny Eight-Finger did drink more, and he didn't even have the strength to get angry, and he looked at Vanessa with a foolish look, "Are you crazy? What do they have to turn to? Just because of that archmagister? The six great magisters in this world are all hanging, and he Gastens can survive? Don't you think that's impossible? His magic, I would say, must have been his last. You fools who have taken refuge in him because of his magic will surely die without a place to be buried! β
The gunfire outside the courtyard had ended, and a few moans followed. It was Johnny Eight-Fingered, who hadn't been killed, moaning. However, at this time, no one will pay attention to these little brothers. Soldier Elena with a steam rifle pushed open the door and rushed in, aiming his gun at Johnny Eight, who was slumped in his chair.
"You're Johnny Eight-Fingered?"
The leader of the small team in Moon City, Brett Warren, walked up to Johnny Eight-Fingered with a gun in his hand and looked at him condescendingly. Johnny Eight-Finger didn't like the way this person looked at him and the way he looked at him, but he also knew that he had lost, and he didn't bother to say anything, just looked at the person in front of him with some anger.
"What kind of good man is to make such a conspiracy!"
"To deal with people like you, a fool should be a good person."
Brett scolded back, not caring about the person in front of him. For those of them who have been through the battle of Elena Defense, it is far easier to clear a city's underground than to survive a bloody battlefield. What's more, they also received help from all sides.
"Tie him up, I think, the crowd will be looking forward to seeing him in the square."
ββββββββββββ
The next day, the citizens of Moon saw a hanging figure on a raised platform that had been temporarily erected in the civic square. People talked a lot, but at first they didn't know who this person was. However, soon someone who was well-informed or had seen Johnny Eight-Finger pointed out that the man who was hanging on a thick wooden frame was Johnny Eight-Finger.
"Eight-fingered Johnny? Really, they really caught Johnny Eight-Fingered? β
"It's impossible, there are hundreds of people in Eight-Fingered Johnny's younger brother, I heard that there are less than a hundred people who came over this time, even if they are all up, they may not be the opponent of Eight-Fingered Johnny."
"Not necessarily, I heard that there was gunfire in the city last night, it was very dense, and when I heard it, it was Elena's kind of powerful machine gun. I see, if this Garence really counts, then it means that. β
The people in the square were still talking, but Garence Warren was not ready to give everyone more time, he walked up to the makeshift platform and pointed the wooden stick in his hand at the hanging Johnny of Eight-Finger.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we love Elena for the first time, and it is indeed difficult to gain everyone's trust in a short period of time. However, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, since we want to do things, we must not be afraid of trouble, let alone such underworld forces. Yesterday there was a young man, let's help him catch Johnny Eight. Now that Johnny Eightfinger has been caught, what about the young man named Roma, is he? β
"I'm here!"
Devara jumped high in the crowd and rushed onto the stage. He first rushed to the person who was hanged, looked at him closely, and even reached out to try to pull his hair to confirm if the person was Johnny Eight-Fingered. However, Johnny Eight-Fingered obviously couldn't stand the insult, and he shook his head and stared at Divara fiercely.
"It's him, who kidnapped and sold my sister!"
When Divara identified the eight Johnnies, he immediately became furious. He didn't care about anything else, he just went up and kicked Johnny Eight-Finger a few times, kicking him again and again, and then he rushed back to the stage as if he was relieved.
"Guys, he's Johnny Eight-Fingered, he kidnapped and sold my sister, and I haven't been able to find my sister until now. My parents were depressed all day long, and they passed away soon after, leaving me alone, and it was better to live than to die. I thought I would never be able to take revenge in my life, but I didn't expect to see Johnny Eight Fingers arrested here, which is really refreshing! β
After saying that, Devara didn't wait for the people in the audience to react, and turned his head to look at Garence Warren.
"My lord, this person is a scumbag, abducting and trafficking people, forcibly buying, forcibly selling, raping, adultery, and plundering, he broke up my home, can I kill him?"
Divara's face was so eager that she even jumped up. The crowd in the audience knew and understood his mood, and there was not much opposition.
"Yes," Garence nodded, "but we're going to have a public trial first." Elena's government is the government of the people, and if we want to kill the enemies of the people, we naturally need the people to judge. Now, I would like to reiterate our policy that those who are enemies of the people are our enemies. Whether it is murder and arson, or rape and plunder, they will be brought to this platform for public trial, so that everyone can see what crime they have committed and what crime they should be committed! β
"That's good!" , Although Divara was stopped by Garence, he still had an eager expression, "He is the biggest slave trader in Moon City, and he is also the biggest pimp boss, and he also smashes and loots everywhere to collect protection money, he abducted and sold my sister, and now I don't know if he lives or dies, how can you judge such a person!" β
"If this is true, a capital offense!"
Garence was loud and replied decisively. The people in the audience looked at the two people on the stage and began to discuss. Everyone was talking a lot, and I could vaguely hear the words that it was him, and he should have died.
"Guys, his men kidnapped my sister, he must have kidnapped more than this one person, he has done so many bad things, isn't there anyone willing to stand up and help me! I don't want anything from Devara, I want him to die! β
Divara's voice trembled a little and seemed to be emotional. The crowd in the audience understood his excitement and echoed it. After a while, five or six people rushed to the stage and began to accuse Johnny of Eight Fingers. Gallens, who was still a little worried that no one would respond, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and he and Divara glanced at each other and gave the order.
"Very well, it seems that this eight-fingered Johnny is indeed the worst of all. Judging from the information that has been exposed so far, he is already a capital crime. In that case, let's not waste time either. As the administrator of the city of Moon, I, Garence Warren, once again declare that the execution of Johnny Eight-Finger will be carried out! β
"Wow-"
The crowd became excited, everyone knew that since Garence had caught Johnny Eight-Fingered, he would definitely kill him, but they didn't expect him to be so decisive. Those who had come to the stage to complain heard Garence's words and knelt down at him. For a while, there were endless voices of thanks and cries on the stage. Garence calmed the men on stage and ordered the soldiers to hang Johnny Eight-Fingered, and then shot him dead.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Gallance stood on the platform, the corpse behind him swaying, quieting the audience, "I, Gallance, am a rough man, a serf, and I don't know any laws. However, I know the simple truth, killing pays for life, this is the truth that the sky will not change! I declare that from now on, whoever intentionally kills, kill! Anyone who abducts and traffics in human beings, kill! Whoever commits adultery and captive, kill! Anyone who opposes the people and interferes with the revolutionary cause will also be killed! β
The citizens in the audience listened to Garence's announcement, and although they felt rude, they also felt relieved. Although the murder warrant announced by Gallance was so crude and unreasonable, the public trial just now gave everyone hope for justice. Even if this justice is so rough and simple, compared to the days before when Johnny Eight-Fingered was the king, people feel that such a manager does not seem to be bad.
"Lord Garens! Lord Garence! β
While speaking, someone rushed to the stage again, "I'm going to expose Moon Mulder, who was a loan shark under Johnny Eight-Fingers, and forced my wife to death in order to ask for money!" I'm going to expose him! I want him dead! β
Hearing this man's words, people's attention was focused again. It is clear that everyone is looking forward to Garence's action. Garence smiled and waved.
"I know, what class enemies do you have, say them all, our government of Elena is the government of the people, and the enemy of the people is our enemy!"
