Chapter 375: Support
Bernie was able to get his hands on the new issue of the newspaper, and the other nobles saw the news at about the same time.
Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, ripples rippled in aristocratic circles.
Many old aristocrats complained about Gülen's practice, believing that it was a family scandal, a matter within the sacred surname of Oskaia, and that it should not be done, and even if it did, it should not be made public in the newspapers.
Of course, these people do not include the families who have been bullied by Joey, and those families are simply celebrating each other, and the banquet began that night.
Fortunately, Flandi's use of the word discipline is very peaceful, if it is used in the words of confinement, or punishment, I am afraid that those old stubborns will be even more unbearable, and maybe something will happen.
Joyce was imprisoned in the palace by His Majesty the Emperor for discipline! The news spread far and wide, and under the propaganda of those propagandists, even the commoners of the entire imperial capital already knew about it.
What no one expected was that after this news was released, nearly 100 ordinary people in the imperial capital had a funeral.
These civilians have relatives in their families who have been indirectly killed by Joyce, and the most of them are young and beautiful girls in the family, and the good girls were directly pulled away by the strong man under Joyce, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then.
And without exception, all of these families have been threatened, telling them to shut up and not report to the official, even if it is useless, because it is the emperor's own brother.
According to people, during the time Joyce returned, every few days in the early morning, someone would throw the dead body outside the city, and no one knew exactly where it was thrown, because those people were so fierce that if they followed, they would be beaten severely.
The nobles of Joyce did not regard him as a commoner, and treated the commoners as only livestock, as long as he could have fun, he naturally did not care whether others lived or died.
It wasn't until he was imprisoned in the palace by Gülen that these civilians dared to hold funerals for their dead relatives, and I have to say that this is a great sorrow.
Even his own brother was "disciplined" without mercy, and those noble children who were usually arrogant and domineering were suffocated, at least they didn't dare to come out to bully people again for a short time, which is called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
However, there is no idiom in this world to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys", because there are not even animals that are exactly the same as chickens and monkeys in previous lives. But Flandy taught Gülen the idiom, and Gülen quickly understood the meaning of the idiom.
It's just that these are the affairs of aristocratic circles, and those who are extremely angry with the common people have not yet surfaced.
Of course, everyone knows who is going to do it, and now they will only wait for the commoners to write to Gülen and inform them and get real evidence, and then they will treat that person as another chicken to make an example of these monkeys of the nobles.
In the evening, Bernie and Doris walked together to the Earl's Palace, Minister of Culture, Clarence.
Because Clarence had sent a message this afternoon to Bernie to sit at the Earl's Court after work in the evening.
It seems that Clarence is also relieved, Joyce's identity is not a small threat to him, even if he is an important minister, he does not dare to go against the imperial brother, and can only take some covert methods to send Bernie into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
The two walked hand in hand in the sunset, if it weren't for Joyce, they would have been married a long time ago, and it is estimated that this time Clarence called him over because of this.
The news of Joyce's discipline spread so quickly that as he walked along the road, he could hear people talking about it, all of them clapping their hands and praising His Majesty's decisiveness.
Suddenly there was a cry from the alley, mixed with some swearing, and Doris frowned as he heard Joyce's name.
However, his voice quickly lowered, probably someone was warning him, but it also attracted the attention of many people.
"Let's go, let's see!" Doris pulled Bernie down the alley.
"People are doing funerals, what is there to see. Bernie said so, but his body followed Doris into the alley.
In the alley, you can tell at first glance that it is a newly built mourning shed, where a well-dressed civilian couple is crying.
Although it is not an aristocratic area, it is not far away, and it belongs to the rich families of the common people, so the people around are well dressed, and you can see a middle-aged, thin and tall man comforting the couple who are crying on the ground.
There were not many people, only seven or eight local residents watching, but everyone sighed and felt sorry for the deceased.
"Big brother, Mei Mi has been gone for so long, you should also look away, don't cry and break your body, and don't say those words just now, be careful of getting angry. ”
"I know, I know, but, but Memmy died so miserably, she's only fourteen years old......!
"Alas, I know, but the person is dead, and it's useless to cry anymore, so you better look away. ”
Fourteen-year-old girl died like this, and it seemed to have something to do with Joyce, Doris couldn't help but be curious, and asked an old man next to her who was watching the excitement.
"Old sir, what's wrong with this family?'s fourteen-year-old daughter died?"
The old man was also a decent person, dressed very cleanly, and when he saw Doris a beautiful girl asking herself, she was embarrassed to refuse her, so she said in a gentle tone: "Poor thing, Mei Mi is such a good child, the fault is that she is too good-looking." ”
"Is it wrong to be too good-looking?" asked Doris, curiously.
"No, it's just because he's so good-looking, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it, and I don't know who spread it and heard about it. went straight to the door and grabbed it, not only snatched Mei Mi over, but also beat Ryan and Monica. ”
"Door-to-door robbery?!" Doris said incredulously.
"That's not it, that's His Majesty the Emperor's brother, who dares to care?"
"And then?"
"What's more, as soon as the person left, he never came back, and now the corpse can't be found!"
"There is such a thing!" Doris was also a beautiful girl since she was a child, but because she was a noble child, no one dared to have any thoughts about her.
"Of course, there are more such things, I don't believe you go around the imperial capital and see how many people are crying about their relatives today!"
Doris never expected Joyce to kill so many people, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is wise, and he brought this scourge to the palace for discipline, otherwise I don't know how many girls will be poisoned by him, ma'am, you are also so beautiful, you must be careful, without Joyce, there are many nobles who are also virtuous. ”
Although she was praised for her beauty, Doris was not happy at all, and she suddenly had a sense of mission to make these things public and let everyone know.
Even the rumors that the emperor has been spreading for several days have disappeared under the propaganda of the newspapers, and Abba said that this is called public opinion, so can public opinion make these harmful people reined in?
By the time she and Bernie returned to the Earl's Court, it was getting dark, and while they were having dinner with Abba, Mom, and Bernie, they were always thinking about what the old man had said.
Today was supposed to be a happy day, but Clarence looked at her daughter's worried face and asked with concern, "Doris, what's wrong with you, why are you so unhappy?"
"Abba......" Doris told Clarence everything she had seen when she returned.
After listening to his daughter's narration, Clarence also frowned, he had heard of these things, but he didn't know much about them.
He knew that his daughter had an idea since she was a child, and since she was so concerned about this matter, she must have made up her mind, so he asked, "Then what do you think?"
"Abba, I'm not learning to write in the newspaper right now, I want to write all of these things!"
"No! absolutely not!" Clarence vetoed her daughter's idea.
"Why not?" said Doris, looking at her father stubbornly.
"Do you know how many people you will offend if you write like this? It's all nobles! Not only you, but even I can't save you!"
"But don't there be anyone to take care of those who do evil?" asked Doris, unconvinced.
"Doris, the only one who can manage them is His Majesty the Emperor, you and I don't have so much power, forget about this matter, I won't support you, even if you write it, I won't let the newspaper publish it for you!"
"Oh......" Seeing that Abba said so categorically, Doris could only obediently shut her mouth, because she also knew what Abba said, and Abba has always said the same, since he didn't agree, it was useless to ask for it, it was better to think of some ways on her own.
Clarence knew that her daughter would not give up this idea easily, and originally wanted to wait for Doris to refute before teaching her a lesson, but she didn't expect Doris to really stop talking, and she felt a little strange.
But don't say it, no matter what, I'm the Minister of Culture, and Doris has to pass her own level of what she wants to do, as long as she pays attention, it won't be a big deal.
This topic was revealed, and Clarence was concerned about the marriage of the two again.
Marrying Doris, Bernie naturally couldn't ask for it, Clarence had already taken the initiative to speak, so what else did he disagree with, but he still had a mom, and he couldn't make the decision by himself, so he could only make an agreement with Clarence when to let mom discuss with him.
When dinner was over, when Doris sent Bernie to the door of the Earl's Court to part, she said to Bernie seriously: "Bernie, I really want to write down these things, can you help me?"
Bernie smiled slightly, he and Doris have known each other since childhood, and he has already figured out her temper, so he knows that she will not give up, so he said softly: "Of course, I support you!"
Hearing Bernie's support, Doris's face, which had been holding on, finally smiled.
