Chapter 364 It's not shameful to vent, masturbation, or killing a small animal to maintain a stable state of mind
"If you have any words, you can rest assured that Benito has taken over the defense of the city, and in the midst of Sycutius, as long as I don't nod, no one can do anything to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info", Wren held a small nail clipper to pick at the white and dry dead skin in the direct crevices, and would rub his nails from time to time. His movements are smooth and pleasing to the eye, and it seems that he usually does not do less. He glanced up at Norton, who was kneeling on the ground, and the destructive power of this little person was often much more powerful than people thought.
When they don't get power, they're dead dogs. After gaining power, they became mad dogs. Don't talk about the far, there is Sean if it's close. The son of a skilled woman, born poor and humble, even his life as an adult was not such a righteous cause. The mercenary group will never have the slightest relationship with justice, and as long as these money slaves give enough money to make their hearts move, they will give everything for money, including their lives.
However, it is such an insignificant little person, after getting acquainted with Angelo, he quickly grew into a mad dog crawling out of hell. Not only did he bite all the enemies for Angelo, but he also ended up making the mad dog turn around and bite the owner who gave him power. Angelo may not understand until the moment he dies that a mad dog dares to grin at his master and open his mouth to bite.
That's true of Sean, but what about Andorra? What about the cadres of the Self-Salvation Society in Baratan? Aren't they the same? The collective of the Self-Salvation Society gave them the power of the individual over the collective, and they set off the riots, and they led the way for the Imperial Army that suppressed the rebellion, and destroyed the entire Self-Salvation Society.
What is Madness?
Why the madness?
To put it bluntly, it is power, it is the supreme interest!
Give a dog the right to eat freely, and when you want to take away that right, the dog will inevitably bite you.
Norton also has the potential to become a mad dog, but Wren is not afraid of this, he is a professional dog beater, and there are countless wild dogs and mad dogs killed by him.
When Gahel arrived at Demalagus, like many nobles who were taking up the position of governor for the first time, he had all kinds of ambitions, and wanted to make his own mark on his territory as a kingdom of heaven. They tend to have a positive motivation in the early days, wanting to prove their worth politically, or at least not to let themselves rule a province that is worse than before. However, ideals alone are of no use, and ideals cannot be eaten or spent as money.
Demalakul's backwardness and poverty soon made Gahel understand what kind of land it was, and what difficulties he faced in it.
Poverty, backwardness, and lack of economic pillar industries limited and troubled him, preventing him from fulfilling his ambitions. De Malagu is much better now than he was when he first took office, which brings us to two things that we have to mention.
The first is the expulsion of merchants.
It is difficult to imagine that the trade of merchants brought about the flow of money and enlivened the market and the economy, which is beyond doubt. But here, Gahel expelled the merchants because they were poor enough that they were still exploiting the wealth of the common people and moving it elsewhere. This reason is far-fetched, his real purpose is to loot the wealth of the merchants, and at the same time pave the way for the second purpose.
Even the governor's palace, where he now lives, was forcibly occupied by him.
The second thing is to buy out the trade.
Probably the only goods that De Malagu could get his hands on were furs that were as white as snow. These furs are not actually worth much in the local area, as is the case with many other goods. Everyone knows that leather clothes are very expensive, but no one could have imagined that when the cowhide was in the slaughterhouse, it was only three hundred copper coins a whole piece!
After processing, it can be sold for a dozen silver coins.
Whatever the reason, after Gahel expelled almost all the merchants, he was left with only one chamber of commerce, which was run by his wife's family. All furs are bought out at the price of three hundred copper coins for small ones and five hundred copper coins for large ones. Hunters can choose not to sell to him, which is the freedom of the hunters and the right granted to them by the Constitution. But Gahel also did not allow them to sell to others, otherwise it would be contrary to the laws he had made.
The Governor has the power to make a series of regional laws according to local conditions.
As soon as two things came out, the entire Demalagu region became poorer, and every year Gahel would apply to the imperial capital for financial support. Some of the money fell into his pocket, and some of it was converted into food from Nawu Lechen and distributed to the civilians on time.
What a generous governor!
As a result, Count Twright receives a large amount of income every year - as the largest granary of the empire, there is always a backlog of old grain in good times, and these old grains now have a way out.
If not, Gahel was a good governor, and he did his best to maintain the economy of the entire province, sending the Chamber of Commerce to buy furs from hunters at "high prices". At the same time, food will be distributed free of charge, so that everyone can avoid the persecution of hunger and put an end to famine.
It is no wonder that he has been a very conscientious governor for six years, and probably for another four years. Four years later, Empress Pars, who was far away in the imperial capital, would recognize his achievements and transfer him to a more prosperous place.
But now, none of this is possible.
Just because of a little person!
Wren was pleased with Norton's honesty and praised his insistence on wanting revenge on Gahel over the years, "but that's not enough, I need more exciting news." Wren put down his nail clippers and flicked his fingers, "These things can make him lose his position, but not enough to make him compromise, I need more powerful information, enough to destroy his handle at once." ”
Indeed, these things were sufficient to judge an official, and the Empress Pars would certainly remove him from office when she learned of it. But this was not enough to make Gahel despair, and he actively made him want to draw closer to Wren out of fear, and left him room - his status as a nobleman, and the power of his wife's family.
Norton frowned and pondered, suddenly his eyes lit up, blooming with a brilliant divine light, his excited body trembled slightly, "I still know one thing, but I'm not sure if this matter will be useful to you, because this matter is so ridiculous!"
Wren was stunned for a moment, he had a vague feeling that maybe this was the focus of the breakthrough. He sat up straight, his eyebrows raised, "Oh? Let me hear it." ”
Norton sorted through the fragments of his memories and said what he thought was suspicious little by little, "I remember that between the end of the second year and the fourth year of Norton's arrival, almost every once in a while, they would send out a corpse!"
As Norton said this, Wren interrupted him, "How long is the interval time, two days, three days, or half a year? Also, how do you know if it's a corpse?"
"Every ten days or so, almost almost!", Norton's face showed a palpitating panic for the first time, "I kept people staring at Ghahel, and the first time they brought the body out, I followed it until they buried it in the wilderness on the outskirts. I thought it was something else, and when I took someone to dig it up, I found the corpse of a young man, covered in all kinds of wounds, apparently tortured to death. ”
Why dig it, Wren can understand without him explaining, it's nothing more than Norton thinks that Gahel is burying something good, but he doesn't expect that what is buried is not treasures, gold coins and wealth, but something unsightly.
"It wasn't until after the summer of the fourth year that they stopped. With a curious look, Norton cautiously asked, "Are they looking for something?"
This is the gap between commoners and nobles, and Norton's speculation represents the opinion of the vast majority of commoners, who will think that these secrets, which they do not know, are often tied to the wealth and power they seek. But Wren is different, he is an aristocrat himself, and he represents power and wealth in his own right, so his speculation is biased to the other side.
There are undeniable people in the aristocracy who are positive and full of the brilliance of human nature, but more often than not, they are ugly and inferior. The continuous killing is more like a channel for venting.
There are tyrants in this world, and there are also distorted personalities.
A nobleman, with a wonderful prospect, suddenly came to this place where birds don't lay eggs, as if they had been allocated. He must have this full anger, and this accumulated anger needs a way to vent, so obviously killing and blood are the perfect way to vent.
He rubbed his fingers, it was a very good handle.
People would prefer to see an ugly, twisted aristocracy on trial, which is something that the commoners like to see, and what the nobles like to see.
"Are these people locals, or are they outsiders?"
Norton immediately replied, "It's locals, but not Cycusius, they're all from other cities." ”
Demalagus has four cities, the capital is Shukusius, and the other three cities are not even lords, not to mention lords. People with a little ability should avoid coming to this ghost place as much as possible, there can be no city lord, no canonization of lords, but there must be no governor.
He added: "Some people also reported the case to the garrison, and during that time people were panicked, and there were rumors that the devil on the ice field had eaten them. ”
Wren slapped his legs and stood up, "I've given you a task, get these files and transcripts, and don't alarm Gahel." ”
