Chapter 55: The Next Morning (Page 1/1)

For the residents of Sueroone, the arrival of Chinese is definitely a difficult day. On the day the city was broken, Wang Jiyuan announced the closure of the city and martial law. The nobles and merchants spent a night in trepidation in their homes.

They did not wait for the killing, nor for the plunder, nor for the raids, but the city was not peaceful, and there were battles all night long, and both those who tried to flee while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos and those who tried to rob while the fire was taking advantage of the fire, they all suffered the fate they deserved.

In addition, dozens of places in the city that were on fire and smoking were also extinguished by Chinese troops.

Early the next morning, Ivo of the Golden Jasmine Trading Company walked out of the Bacchus house dressed as a steward. After the city was destroyed yesterday, he returned to the inner city through the channel of the Golden Jasmine Trading Company, and reported the situation outside to the head of the Bacchus family, Baron Carvalho, and also brought the attitude of the Chinese.

Baron Carvalho didn't sleep all night and discussed with Ivo and a few other henchmen until dawn, and finally came up with a preliminary charter.

Ivo was walking along the road and saw the housekeepers or deacons of the various families who were listening to the news going out at this time. Seeing these people cowering, looking around, and talking to each other, and remembering what the Baron said last night, Ivo sneered in his heart.

At this time, a middle-aged man came on the opposite road, who was the steward of the nearby big merchant Victoria's house, Wu Lian. Ivo and he have known each other for more than ten years, and the two can be regarded as some friendship. Ulian had long heard that the Bacchus family had a lot to do with the Tower of China. However, Baron Carvalho is also a capable person, before the Marquis of Bardini and the Tower of China were against each other, he just stayed in the city and did not leave, and the Marquis has not treated him well, this is not a skill that ordinary people can have.

Uren guessed that Ivo must have known a lot of information related to the Tower of China, so he almost exchanged pleasantries with him. Hearing that Ivo was going to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look, he proposed to go over together, and Ivo had nothing to do, so the two of them walked to the City Lord's Mansion together.

Walking to the main road, you will see soldiers in green uniforms, armed with weapons like long poles, some guarding intersections and buildings, others patrolling back and forth in small formations. When they saw these people who inquired about the news, most of them just looked at them and didn't interfere too much. However, when he saw these soldiers looking over, Wu Lian still shook his feet and almost stumbled.

Ivo helped him up and said, "These soldiers of the Tower of China have strict rules. Don't be afraid of them like a horse thief. ”

"They are really different from the Marquis's soldiers. Ulian said.

"Yet, my lord?" Ivo reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's the traitor Bardini. Ulian hurriedly changed his words.

Ivo snorted and walked on, where the two saw the bodies of several people lying on the side of the road, some covered with white cloths, others loaded onto ox carts by soldiers dressed in green, looking like they were going to be buried somewhere.

Wu Lian sighed a little: "I made a fuss all night last night, I don't know what these people have done." ”

"What else can happen? Dead at this time are not long-sighted. "Ivo Road. He glanced at a corpse lying on the ground beside him, and it seemed that he was still holding something golden in his hand, obviously stealing something at this time and being shot dead from behind.

After a few more steps, one fell to the ground with his back to the sky, still holding a sword in his hand, and covered with a shield with three or four holes in the shield, apparently not blocking the bullets of the air gun. Not far away, a middle-aged man in more luxurious clothes was lying on his side on the ground, and the black blood around his abdomen was congealed to the ground. At first glance, it is a pair of master and servant who want to escape at night.

Uren sighed.

Ivo added, "They all deserve it!"

The two walked to the main road of the inner city, only to see a group of hundreds of city guards walking in a long line, they had no weapons or armor, but they were not tied up, most of them looked calm, under the supervision of a dozen or so green-clothed soldiers, walking outside the city.

Wu Lian scolded in a low voice: "These guys have eaten so much of our food, but they haven't resisted even a day, so it's really better to take the money to feed the dogs." ”

Ivo said: "Could it be that you hope that they will fight to the death and not retreat, and finally fight with the Chinese and turn the whole of Suero into ruins?"

"This ......"

"And did you see yesterday's shelling? Try it closely, and you'll know if it's good to get the rations. I heard that this number died yesterday on the western wall alone. Ivo held out four fingers.

"Four hundred?" said Ulian.

"No more, no less! It's all dead without a corpse. ”

"Well, when I didn't say it. ”

As they passed through the street in front of the East Gate, they ran into another group of soldiers and slowly entered the city with a group of nobles, merchants and servants. Most of these nobles and merchants looked tired and depressed.

"Isn't this Favreth and Baron Portinas, and most of the people who escaped before are in the ranks. It seems that they have already set up an ambush outside the city, and it is the same whether they go or not. "Wulian said.

Ivo was also a little surprised when he saw this scene, and said, "It seems that the whole of Suero has been caught in the net by them this time. ”

"I don't know, how are these people from the Tower of China going to collect the net. ”

"When I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, there would naturally be an answer. ”

When the two of them walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they found that many people had gathered here. Ulian saw a large notice posted on the outer wall of the Lord's Mansion, which attracted many people to watch. Ivo noticed a wooden sign at the entrance to the Lord's Palace, on which was written in magic and lingua franca: Provisional Government of the City of Suero.

Ivo and Uren squeezed into the crowd and saw that the notice was also written in magic and lingua franca.

Announcement of the Provisional Government of the Municipality of Suero on interviewing the heads of families:

In order to reorganize the city of Suero and restore the economy of the city, the interim government of the city of Suero will soon interview the heads of families in the inner city. The head of the house listed in the list is requested not to leave Suero and to wait at home for the notification of the interim government, at which time the escort will be responsible for sending the invitation.

The list of participants is as follows:

......

Both Ivo and Ulren saw their heads on the list. The people around me were also talking.

Someone said: "This will be, I'm afraid it's not easy to open." I don't know what to spit out of us. ”

Another replied, "Nonsense." When the city was broken, we didn't ask for our heads, it was already a blessing, if we weren't prepared to buy life money in advance, wouldn't it be stupid? I don't know how to die when the time comes. ”

"Door-to-door invitation, to put it nicely, it is probably a door-to-door robbery and kidnapping, right?"

The previous man said: "Invite your family master to attend the meeting, it is to look up to your family, don't be ignorant." If you don't go, you're looking for death, and you can't blame anyone else. ”

Uren and Ivo withdrew from the crowd, and Uren said, "I don't know what kind of name this will be." Ivo, we're old friends, and I know you know a lot about it, so if you do, let me know it, okay? ”

Ivo said: "You say so, I will teach you one, what the Chinese say, we will do it, not only to do it well, but also to do it quickly! If your master can really listen to this, it will be a good thing." ”
