The next day, Baron Carvalho Bacchus, accompanied by Ivo, arrived early in the morning in a carriage to the Provisional Government. The Chinese are very fast, and yesterday afternoon a soldier sent a notice of the meeting to the Baron's Palace.

However, the scene at the entrance of the provisional government was very strange, there were many carriages parked in the open space outside the door, and many people who had been invited to the meeting arrived there early, but did not go inside, but gathered together in twos and threes, and each of them was secretly saying something.

Compared to the restlessness of the other nobles and merchants, Baron Carvalho was rather calm. As an old friend, Xiao Chen had already visited him privately last night, and he knew very well what would happen today and how he should do it.

Baron Carvalho knew many of the people at the door, and when he stepped out of the carriage, several of them were coming this way. One of them, one of the viscounts, two barons, and four merchants, including Victoria, the head of the family of Ulen. After Carvalho greeted them, he found that they did not leave, but looked at him earnestly.

Victoria, who had been doing business with the Bacchus family, said: "Baron Carvalho, this level is not easy for everyone. As an old friend, can you give us a little bit of a reminder. What the hell do they want us to do?"

"yes. These people make me nervous. "Yesterday I tried to talk to the soldiers patrolling outside, and wanted to use a golden axe to get some news. But they threw the golden axe on the ground, and said with contempt that I was a scoundrel who oppressed the common people, that I was a moth lying on the back of a peasant? ”

"Yes. We can feel the hatred of these people towards us. Their commander had clearly deceived them with lies. We are all decent aristocrats who have never done anything excessive, and they have no reason to hate us. The other baron said.

Baron Carvalho said: "You and I have known each other for a long time, for the sake of our neighbors in this city for so many years. I would like to remind you. The Chinese are not here for you, me or him. Rather, it was aimed at the nobility and the big businessmen. It's like a temple of nature trying to destroy a false god, what if you happen to be one of them, how do you survive? If you think about it, I guess there will be an answer. ”

The people around them were not stupid, but the meaning of Baron Carvalho's words made them feel unbelievable. Viscount Josza's eyes widened, as if someone had choked his neck, "You mean let's give up our nobility? Otherwise, how can our bloodline be distinguished from those civilians, and we will not be the same as those dusty people?"

"Is there really any difference? How many years have passed, whose ancestors have not crawled out of the mud. Carvalho smiled slightly, and said no more to them, and walked to the courtyard gate of the provisional government on his own. Several people around him were still talking about these things, but Vittorino followed, and he asked, "Baron Carvalho, I am not a nobleman, and I am not worried about what they say. It's just that what about our people's land and business?"

"Do you really believe me?" asked Baron Carvalho.

"Of course. ”

"Then I only have one sentence: what should be given up, be given up. ”

At nine o'clock, in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the meeting had already begun. The room was arranged into a typical lecture hall, Wang Jiyuan, Xiao Chen, Qin Mu, Wu Jianshi and Zheng Rui and others sat on the rostrum, and the nobles and merchants had already arrived, sitting opposite them in rows.

The speaker is today's host Xiao Chen: "...... All of you here are influential people in Suero, and since our Tower of China took over Suero two days ago, everyone has been waiting for us to give us a charter for the resettlement of land, people, and property. The decision has been taken by the Interim Government of the city of Suero after careful discussion. Today is the time for us to address these issues openly and justly. ”

Although Xiao Chen's words were high-sounding, the atmosphere suddenly became tense when the people below heard this, and everyone knew that the time had come to decide their fate.

Xiao Chen continued: "Some people may still think that the Tower of China is just a rising magic tower, and the conflict in Suero is just a magic tower occupying a new territory. No, we will be one country, and this country will be called China. This is the name of our home country, and we are her heirs in this foreign land. ”

Xiao Chen originally thought that when he said this, the people below would have some reactions, but he didn't expect everyone to seem calm, or indifferent. Maybe for them, it doesn't matter whether China is a magic tower or a country, all their minds are concerned about their own fate.

"Because of this, we have been at war with them since the royal family of the Kingdom of Iberia announced that they were going to deprive us of our land. And your status depends on your situation, some of you will become our citizens, some of you will become our prisoners, and some of you will become our criminals!"

"Criminal?" suddenly buzzed in the otherwise silent room.

"If we want to recruit new citizens, we naturally need to do enough research, but I found that some of you have done unbelievable evil deeds in the past. We will never let go of such a person in our hands. ”

As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, hundreds of soldiers rushed into the room in groups, firmly surrounding all the participants in the center of the room.

Xiao Chen gave up his position to Wu Jianshi of the Intelligence Bureau, who took out a stack of files, took out a list from the top folder, and looked coldly at the people below, "The person whose name I report next will be arrested." Please do not try to resist, it will only increase your guilt. By the way, there is a master and two high-level mages in this room, and I myself am also a mid-level mage, so if you are not a master-level master, don't have the intention of resisting. By the way, don't try to take hostages, the master's spells are definitely faster than your hands. ”

There are many people below who are starting to tremble or turn pale, and before Wu Jianshi can start reading the list, there is already an old man who has fallen down with his heart covered. Several of the soldiers immediately rushed out and carried him out.

Wu Jianshi sighed: "Baron Awu Tuoer, who just fell. It's not the people on the list, and of course it's possible that I haven't checked carefully enough to find out the baron's big secret. ”
