Chapter 63: The Shift of Time (Part II)

The sun is shining brightly, and the sun is scorching.

The sun dispelled the mist, and the bright city streets contrasted sharply with yesterday's haze, except that everyone in the police car felt strange as it slowly drove into the city.

The police officers who are usually in charge of the investigation have all disappeared, there are no pedestrians on the streets, and even the shops on the street are closed, as if Brittus has become an empty city overnight.

"Where have all the people gone?"

Continuing to drive with doubts, the steam car slowly drove towards the central block, the streets were still spacious and bright, but there was a faint flow of gloom.

The closer you get to the center of the city, the more obvious the loneliness and vicissitudes of life become, the garbage is swept up in the air by the wind, and dark red blood marks appear in the middle of the road, silently announcing the world what has happened here.

The driver and the accompanying police officers were worried that something strange was happening.

"Sheriff Shawe, we weren't in the city last night, what the hell is ...... here?"

"Don't panic, send Mr. Cliff home first, and drive the car back to the police station in a moment, where I am sure someone will answer our questions. ”

Not only was the police in the car nervous, but Sha Wei's heart was also in his throat.

He had planned to send Bill home directly, but the unfamiliar sight in front of him made his heart flutter, and he wanted to change his destination and put the search for answers first.

Suddenly, out of the shadows, a squad of mercenaries resembled mercenaries stopped the police car, wearing black leather armor and all wearing revolvers and short blades around their waists.

"Police, sheriff!"

"What's going on, who are these people and where did they come from?"

"Don't be nervous, pull over, they are my private soldiers, and they usually don't show up. ”

"Something happened to Brittus......"

The driver braked in a hurry, leaning forward and almost hitting the windshield, but Xavier was still trying to control his posture, slowly rolling down the window, and straightening his waist despite the wound, showing the majesty of the son of the Marquis of Stafford.

"Great, Master Shawei, I've finally found you!"

All the private soldiers bowed neatly to Shawei ninety degrees, and the policemen were a little surprised, even though they knew that the Stafford family was powerful, it was the first time they had seen such a gang-like salute.

After all, Sha Wei had never shown such an expression in front of them, and the whole person was like an old man possessed, lifeless.

"What happened to Brittus?"

"Pick the point. ”

"Yes, Master Shawei!"

The captain of the private army had a loud voice and answered crisply, quickly and clearly explaining to Shawei.

"Last night the bourgeois revolutionaries staged a coup d'Γ©tat, organized the workers to besiege the parliament halls, the government buildings were blown up, and the burghers occupied all the streets of the central block. ”

"Due to the suddenness of the incident, all government officials were trapped inside the office building, and only the police chief actively led the remaining police forces to resist and try to retake the main street. ”

Although he summed up the events in just two sentences, Shawe could imagine the chaos in the streets, as he had seen the war break out firsthand.

He has also seen devastated people homeless and displacement of people of all kinds.

At least Brittus wasn't like that, the streets were intact and there were no dead children on the roads.

"And then, is the civil war over, and where is the director?"

β€œ...... What about my father?"

A series of questions flew out of Shawei's mouth, and the captain of the private army raised his eyebrows, and the answer was difficult for him to say, but he was loyal to Stafford after all, and the captain could only give answers to the questions.

"The civil war lasted only four hours before ending with a failed recapture of the streets, with the police chief being attacked by an angry crowd of workers and now lying in hospital awaiting treatment. ”

"Since last night, all the hospitals in the city have stopped accepting patients, the director has been given only one bed, and if the revolutionaries do not get what they want, the paralysis of society will continue to grow. ”

"And the Marquis had been staying at home last night, and he ordered all the troops in the city to be mobilized to defend the palace and protect the safety of the king and the royal bloodline. ”

"At the same time, send some troops to ensure that Stafford and related families are not disturbed by troublemakers, including the families into which several of your sisters have married. ”

"And your father is ...... now"

"His Excellency the Old Marquis de Stafford's should now be in the royal palace, personally by the king's side. ”

"He's telling the Normans that for the Stafford family, their only job is to guard the royal family, right?"

Bill propped his head and slowly uttered his guess, a smile on his face.

The captain of the private army was speechless for a moment and nodded silently.

"Damn it!"

"During my absence, such a big thing happened!"

"It's always been that group of revolutionaries who are secretly playing tricks, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

His fist slammed against the car door, there was a loud bang, the glass trembled, and a huge anger fell from the sky, but he was powerless to change anything.

The police and the driver were already stupefied by the news, losing control of their facial expressions, their jaws flabby and their mouths wide open.

"Where have all the people in the streets gone, where are they now, Prime Minister Hadro and the Interior Ministers after the victory of the revolutionaries?"

"Now everyone, including all the citizens, is in front of the Parliament Hall, and they are openly voting by a show of hands to decide what will happen to Norman in the future. ”

"As for the specifics, you ......"

"You should probably go and see for yourself, the bishop of Marseille Cathedral has also stepped in. ”

The captain of the private army stopped talking, and Shawei was worried about his intentions, although it seemed that the Stafford family had not suffered any changes, but these were only temporary.

At this moment, Shavay wanted to go to the council hall immediately to see what kind of earth-shaking changes had taken place in society, but he tried to refrain from it.

There were also outsiders in the police car, and he couldn't show his heart.

"Mr. Cliff, I'm ...... now"

"Go where you want to go, don't worry about me, I'll be the same everywhere anyway. ”

Bill grinned, a nonchalant and mocking grin.

Probably not smoking a cigar for too long, and suddenly stimulated by the collapse of the polity, this ridicule became the perfect expression of thoughtfulness in Shawei's eyes.

Shawei's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't be conscious.

"Mr. Cliff, youβ€”you're so kind!"

"I'm so sorry that we're in a hurry to get to the council hall and see for ourselves what tomorrow will be like, and we're going to have to put you home on a postponement. ”

"You can also get off here, but it's still some distance from the West End, and there are no carriages on the road now, so I ......"

"Oh, it's okay, I just want to check it out. ”

"See ...... for yourself"

"Look at how those high-spirited nobles have been abandoned by the times, and see if they will be so sad that they will cry bitterly when they learn that the tide is gone!"

"And to see the fall of the aristocratic era with your own eyes, hehehehehe. 」

With his eyes bent into crescents, Bill covered his face with one hand, hiding his unbridled expression of joy under his palm.

"That's fine, driver, let's go to the council hall!"

The driver flicked the button again, and the steam car made a sudden noise.

A dark gaze slipped through his fingers, and he saw Shawey's face pale, the policemen swallowing nervously, and the Stafford privates trotting after him.

The streets are lined with abundant sunlight and the temperature rises rapidly.

The police car quickly approached the parliamentary hall crowded with citizens around it, and gradually there was a commotion, and a large open-air public voting site was just ahead!
