Chapter Eighty-Eight: Unexpected Changes
When Li Tianrui returned to the Duke's Palace, it was already late at night. While eating dinner, he hurriedly convened the main person in charge for a briefing.
According to the feedback from the various battalions and companies, the occupation and takeover work went relatively smoothly, and it seems that neither the Duke of Parsa nor Baron Baucus played any tricks. But Greenforest City is a huge city after all, and after the Guards took over, they still encountered a few troubles.
Wang Zifeng, commander of the first battalion in charge of the regimental headquarters, said: "First of all, the nobles and merchants in the city are unstable, and now the rumors in the city are flying all over the sky, I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that the Chinese will execute all the noble patriarchs, and some people say that all the merchants' property will be confiscated, and some people say that all people related to the royal family will be sold into slavery and even become materials for magic experiments."
Most aristocratic merchant families were extremely nervous. The Provisional Government Liaison Office we have set up in the Duke's Palace is about to be broken. ”
Cao Lu, the person in charge of the liaison office, said: "These guys who are sick and rush to the hospital have thought of a lot of ways to find out the news, get closer, not to mention the gold and silver treasures, and even send all the beauties to Camp Commander Wang." ”
Xu Tianle, the commander of the second battalion, said: "What about the beauties?"
"Of course it's returned, what, do you still want to stay overnight?" Cao Lu said.
"Oh, he has a little widow as a girlfriend in Wang Zifeng, but I Xu Tianle doesn't. ”
"It's not your turn to stay, our head hasn't landed yet. Cao Lu said.
"Stop. What Lao Tzu wants is free love, and I don't want you dog-headed military advisors to mix blindly. Li Tianrui scolded with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much, as long as these guys don't take risks, don't worry about them." ”
"But we returned their money, and they still didn't want to take it back. Cao Lu said.
"It's okay, if they come back tomorrow, you tell them that we'll take the money as a donation to public utilities. But make two points clear to them, first, for the guilty, the money is not worth the guilt. Second, who contributes to the public undertakings of Greenforest City, we have a book, and all those who support us will definitely give priority to supporting them in the future development and development work. ”
Cao Lu nodded and said, "I understand, then if there are still beautiful women tomorrow......"
"Stop, stop, stop. Li Tianrui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get down to business, what questions do you continue to say?"
The third battalion commander Ma Reno said: "There are still some problems with the security of Green Forest City, after we let the city guards return to the barracks, some places in the city have become a vacuum, and the bad guys who make trouble can't hold back, as far as we know, since we entered the city, there have been three murders, seven or eight robberies, as for theft...... So far, the statistics are not clear, but it is only a lot more than the first two. ”
Li Tianrui pondered for a moment and said: "In two aspects, the first is to deal with these criminals seriously and quickly, and we can't wait to try them by establishing a court later, so we will directly use military court to try them, and the results of the trial will be executed immediately." Tomorrow I'm going to see those damned people, hanged on the main road of Greenwood.
Second, I've got some City Guard activists to join a few patrols, which has worked quite well, and it should help you to go to the City Guard barracks tomorrow and recruit some locals with good brains. ”
"Yes, Commander!" said Marreno.
The commander of the Dark Elf Camp is the Dark Elf mage Kaisha, and she reported: "Commander, we have found that the sanitary situation in the city is very worrisome, we have encountered many patients in the slums today, it is summer, it is already a time of high incidence of epidemics, if it is not handled properly, it is likely that a plague will break out. ”
Li Tianrui asked Aklew, "Is the plague common here?"
Akle said: "Battalion Commander Kai'Sa is right, there are large and small epidemics in Greenwood City every summer. In previous years, people from the southwest branch of the Nature Temple or the Red Lotus Tower were invited to come here for treatment. They also perform some magic in the city, which is said to reduce the occurrence of epidemics. However, now that the situation is unstable, then there is none. ”
Wang Zifeng said: "I have read some information on this, and according to my understanding, it is actually a problem of using magic to destroy germs. I think we can send some mages and go to those places tomorrow. It is nothing more than to deal with those people and things that are contaminated with pathogens, isolate those who should be isolated, and burn them out. ”
Li Tianrui said: "Just deal with it according to this method." ”
——————————————————
When Li Tianrui was leading people to a meeting, in a room upstairs from them, Baron Baucus was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
When he was in a daze, he was still muttering something.
“...... Great God of Nature, please forgive me. I love them, though not as much as a ten-millionth of what you love us. But I still love them sincerely, sincerely. However, for a true knight, there is no more valuable virtue in the world than loyalty. I am loyal not only to Lord Parsa, but also to the place they represent. We've done our best, really we've done our best. But I can't, I can't compete with these people. The power they represented was so terrible, Baron O'Farrell failed, Matos failed, Count Green failed, and Lord Austa failed. How can the Duke and I guarantee that we will be victorious? so we can only do this, please forgive me, please forgive me......"
Baron Baucus repeated this passage several times, and then took out a small crystal bottle from his bosom, the size of his thumb, which contained a jar full of black liquid.
Baron Baucus stared at the bottle, pointing it at the glowing hedron in the room, as if to see through its contents.
However, the black in the jar revealed an evil aura.
Baron Baucus looked at it for a while, but did not see anything famous, and finally made up his mind.
He opened the bottle and brought it to his lips. The opening of the bottle was against his lips, and his hands and mouth trembled together. I don't know how long this image froze, but he finally looked up, poured the whole bottle of potion into his mouth, and then threw the crystal bottle far away on the ground.
Baron Baucus slowly lay back down, and when he was completely flat, he groped for a badge from his pocket, exactly like the one the Duke had given him. He held the badge in both hands and placed it on his chest, slowly closing his eyes.
Gradually, all kinds of uncomfortable sensations came from his body, and he felt that he was starting to heat up and lose his strength, and then the darkness slowly sank to the bottom of the sea like a rolling sea.
