Chapter 228: The Storm
Crane was cold, looking at the orcs striding up in front of him, and none of the present had any intention of resisting.
Orcs, actually orcs!
Everyone felt cold in their hearts, some timid guys even began to swing their legs, not that they were timid, but that these orcs stood in front of them, the aura of the veteran who disregarded life was very terrifying, coupled with the hideous faces of the orcs, the weapons that already exuded a cold glow, for these pampered old men, everything was so terrible.
Two tall orcs stepped forward directly and knocked out Crane with a rough and direct punch, and the terrifying force pinned Crane to death.
The orcs came very roughly, and they went very directly.
In the face of this change, everyone present was stunned, and some of them were even officials of the confidential department, but he did not have the slightest idea of wanting to stand up.
That's an orc!
The people here are all shrewd guys, you know, the department that is usually responsible for managing the security of the city is called the chengguan, they are responsible for the security of the city and some arrests of criminals, they are authentic human beings.
These are the people who deal directly with humans.
And the orcs are all real violent machines, and the nobles present know that there are a surprising number of orcs stationed outside the city of Boer, but they usually do not enter the city, they are the garrisons of the city, and once the orcs appear, it will indicate a huge political storm.
"Lord Duncan, what the hell is going on?" asked one nobleman cautiously as he saw the orc leave.
The person who was questioned was named Duncan, he was an official in the city management department, although he was not a high-level official, but he was also a middle-level figure, and he still had a certain amount of intelligence power over matters large and small in the department.
Duncan's face was a little pale, he heard the inquiry of his colleagues, he came back to his senses, and he whispered with an ugly face: "I don't know! These damn orc barbarians have come out, could it be that something big happened in the city?"
Bol City, the political and commercial center of the Southwest. A large number of merchants and magnates have gathered here, and many times the urban management personnel here have to keep a hand when enforcing the law, after all, no one knows who is standing behind the nobleman, maybe they will be arrested on the first day and released the next day.
And because of the large number of edicts in Boer City that reduced the rights of the lords, in order to prevent the nobles from being dissatisfied, they also relaxed the restrictions on the lords' decrees to a certain extent, and many times, as long as the nobles did not do too much, they would not be punished too severely.
"No, my lords, I have to hurry back, the orcs have appeared, I always feel that something big is about to happen!"
Duncan's face was anxious, and he hurriedly said goodbye to a few friends and left here.
With Duncan's departure, people left in a hurry, and everyone present realized that things were not simple, after all, if the orcs intervened, there must be something big happening.
Time.
The party that was lively just now was already a mess at the moment, wine glasses fell to the floor, expensive red wine was spilled on the sofa, chairs were pushed away scattered, and a bleak atmosphere was permeating.
What happened in the aristocratic circles could not be concealed for long, and soon, the whole city of Boer knew about it.
The orcs are actually arresting people!
So, everyone began to get nervous, speaking of which of these people has nothing to worry about, after all, the rise of a capital is always accompanied by the dark and bloody of big fish eating small fish, if someone really has the heart to rectify, I am afraid that they will all have to kneel.
The most powerful people are more eager.
Soon, the entire high society of Boer City fell into an atmosphere of impending rain, and the servants of various aristocratic families entered and exited the major mansions, and invitations and names were handed in.
In each secret room, the nobles were whispering, and everyone was confused.
But they all knew that the source of everything must be in that city lord's mansion.
Then.
The aristocratic ladies dressed up in their most beautiful dresses and the most beautiful makeup were frantically trying to knock on the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
And yet all in vain.
Dick is very smart, he noticed the change in Wang Xiaotian's mentality from the information prepared by Wang Xiaotian, this master is planning to completely establish a rule, a political earthquake is irreversible, rather than let that master open the killing ring, it is better to let him do it, maybe he will stop as soon as he is happy.
Then, under the stunned gaze of all.
An order was passed to the desks of the nobles.
"The Special Operations Act, with Baron Blackstone Wang Xiaotian as the supreme chief of the special operations security department, is responsible for dealing with a series of behaviors that threaten the security of the city, such as public opinion supervision in Boer City and speech that undermines the city's security......
Countless people read this special operations bill word by word, and their hearts were cold.
The lucky little nobleman, who seemed to have been attacked by all of them not long ago, has become the chief of the special security department, and he is responsible for dealing with all actions that threaten the security of the city.
That's a big deal!
After all, what kind of speech and commodity trading are included in behaviors that threaten the safety of the city? In other words, as long as Wang Xiaotian wants to, he can almost arrange a crime that threatens the safety of the city, which is undoubtedly a sharp bayonet made by the City Lord's Mansion!
"How can a political purge be created in one attack!"
All the nobles collapsed, how could this be!
You grow up three times in your life, and the first time is when you realize that you are not the center of the world, and you start working on it. The second time is when you find yourself powerless and you still have to fight for it. The third time is when you are at the center of the world, but you don't want to be the center of the world anymore.
Aristocracy is like that.
They enjoy a warm political environment, so, in a comfortable environment, they begin to do some things that violate the rules, but because of the relaxed environment, these things are gently exposed, and then they start to do more things, little by little push themselves to the center of power, and step by step towards the abyss.
Wang Xiaotian's actions were so swift.
After Crane, more than a dozen small nobles, large and small, were arrested, some of them were dragged away by the rough orcs at the banquet, and some were taken away from their rocking chairs by the orcs who broke into the door......
Time.
It was as if the whole city of Boer was filled with tension.
The warm sunlight shone on their faces, but the nobles felt that they were in the middle of that cold winter, and their bodies and minds were cold.
