Faced with an army of 10,000 men, Terman wisely did not consider resisting. The city of Centrius www.biquge.info different from cities like Ortlenburg, which is rich and affluent. The proportion of people living here who are rich is much higher than in other cities, and they are not untouchables who have nothing and have eaten the last meal. They have wealth, status, and power, and they can't afford to give up everything they have, as the Ortlenburgers do, and fight for victory.

If you can't do it, then why struggle? It's better to leave with dignity than being dragged out of the city in embarrassment. Leaving does not mean a permanent farewell, and you may be able to find an opportunity to change from a hero to a courtier and make a comeback!

When Joberg learned that Termman had been captured, he was still a little depressed. He and Terman did not have such a good friendship, and there was never harmony between all the governors and lords, and the contradictions between them existed since the beginning of the empire. The governor nominally controls the military and political power of a province, and can be said to be the highest leader of a province, the highest magnates. However, the tradition of the noble people of Yourong has also been inherited from the Holy Empire and has been inherited by Orlando.

The nobles who own the fief can exercise all the privileges in the fief except for the interception of taxes, and in the nobleman's domain, they are gods.

This may not be very respectful to the God of Light, but it just reflects a fact from the side. As the rulers of the fiefdoms, the nobles can be said to have a constitution in their mouths and follow their words. If you don't like people, you can make excuses such as "your hair color doesn't match my boots today" or "you just breathed affected my mood", in short, no matter how ridiculous the reason, you can easily kill a civilian legally, and you don't even need a reason to kill untouchables and slaves. [The popular class was divided into citizens, commoners, freemen, and slaves, and in the eyes of the aristocracy everyone but themselves were untouchables. 】

Of course, they won't do this, and the bloody tragedies in history continue to warn all lords to be kind to the people in the territory so that they will not be overthrown by crazy thugs. Some people don't believe it, so they have become an absurd stroke in the history books.

The power of the governor and the power of the lords intersected, and naturally they did not give each other a good face. The governors wanted to monopolize power, and the lords had to ensure the integrity of their power, which created irreconcilable contradictions. Orlando I was a very clever ruler, and he put the reins on the nobles and the dogs on a leash for powerful magnates like the governor.

So there was no psychological pressure on Joberg to dig a hole for Termman, and he, including many people, knew that Termman was finished, along with the Pol family. The Pol family, whose nostrils reached their heads, had to pay for their pride this time, and Terman wouldn't be boasting about his family's long history all day long. They need to raise a large sum of money to redeem themselves, and then they are sent to the imperial capital to be eaten and die, and even have nothing to eat, and finally starve to death under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

The war dividends of Xiliu City were divided up by the Bell Province lord group led by the Leos family, this sentence is a bit awkward to say, perhaps only outside the imperial capital, there will be such a saying as the lord group and the city lord group, full of a kind of red fruit fruit earthy smell, pure country soil buns.

But Termman was too quick to admit it, didn't he? Why didn't he try to fight and punch Leos in that nasty face. Why did the soldiers come to the city so directly admit it? Wren didn't admit it, what do you recognize? Also, why don't you ask the Governor's Mansion for help, you must know that the Governor's Mansion controls the military and political power of the whole province, and he believes that those lords may not be too obedient to his will, but he can act as an intermediary to mediate.

In this way, he can also take a bite, and the Boer family, of course, can be retained. Joberg's depression was completely unspeakable, and it was beyond his imagination, and what terrified him even more was that he had to cash in on the list that Wren could win in several casinos in the capital. Like many aristocrats, they always have an unimaginable enthusiasm for the business of making money quickly. Joberg was also involved in several large casinos in Mirin.

If you win, you will be given money, and if you lose, you will naturally have to pay out. You don't have to pay it, and there are guys who also have shares in the casino who are more than happy to help Joberg pull out the money and kick him out.

This time, it can be said that Joberg has exhausted the organs, and the benefits have not been bitten, but he has a feud with Ortlenburg.

In the face of the anxious gaze of the three henchmen city lords, Joberg finally stiffened his face, not showing disappointment and frustration. He disrupted the whole scene with a wine glass, making it impossible to see his face at this time. After a while, he cleaned up his mood before putting down his wine glass and said slowly: "Don't worry, I still have a ruthless trick to come up with." ”

The three pairs of inquisitive eyes made Joberg regain a little confidence, "My sister-in-law is about to come to Bell Province to patrol the hunting side on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. When he comes, I'll definitely get the field back from Wren and Bowen. He paused and thought for a moment, 'Five days at most, and he will be there.' ’

The three city lords breathed a sigh of relief, although Joberg was a little unreliable, but the one behind him was a big thick leg. The youngest son of the royal family, the youngest son who is most liked by His Majesty the Emperor, is loved by thousands of people.

The royal family would visit the area every year, on the one hand, to promote the legitimacy and correctness of the royal rule, and on the other hand, to find a way for the princes who did not have the opportunity to inherit the throne to vent their imbalances.

Yes, the next emperor has already appeared, and the way in which the royal family selects the emperor by only looking at the date of birth and not considering other factors is also unique. The next emperor is Her Royal Highness the Princess, Pers Ira Elstin Orlando, or Crown Prince of Pearls for short.

As for the other princes and princesses, I'm sorry, but the date of your birth is destined to miss you from the throne in this life. Therefore, in order to appease these princes and princesses who have first-class reincarnation skills but choose the wrong day, they will be handed over to them every year to patrol the place.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to give them a chance to go out to eat, drink, and gamble in the light, and during this time, the clerks will turn a blind eye, no matter how ridiculous they do, they will treat it as if they didn't see it.

If these princes and princesses really do evil, everyone will endure it, or pretend that they don't see it.

As long as Joberg's sister-in-law came to Bell Province, it was really a simple matter to mess with him to deal with Wren and to deal with Bowen. In this regard, Joberg has an innate advantage, that is, his sister, the legal wife of the prince, the noble princess, and the recognized member of the royal family. It is not so easy for a man to please a woman, but if a woman wants to please someone, she just needs to put down her face.

While Joberg was planning for his next advantages and benefits, Ortlenburg endured his pain and continued with Wren's plan for urban development. People's enthusiasm for work is completely ignited by the bloody death figures, and they can live and create a better tomorrow with their hands because some people have paid the price with their lives. So, what reason is there not to work hard to change the city and not actively devote energy to production and construction?

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Wren looked at the long list in his hand, calm as a pool of secluded springs, and couldn't see the emotional changes in his heart at this moment. Cooper, who was on the side, showed his upbringing with his own actions, even though he had kept his head down for more than half an hour, and the angle of his neck and neckline had not changed in the slightest. Marven, a veteran ruffian, shook his feet, shook his hands, and shrunk his neck from time to time, if it weren't for the city lord sitting on the first seat, if he changed to a general or something, he would dare to roll on the ground.

Alma had a natural advantage as a woman, she sat dignified on the soft floor, and there was no sign that she was once an experienced technician, and now she was the boss of a group of technicians.

Power is a wonderful thing, it quietly changes all people all the time, whether they are gaining power or losing power.

After a while, Wren closed the list and threw it directly on the ground. Cooper bent down to pick it up and held it in his hand.

After a moment of silence, Wren's eyes flashed, "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, this is a truth that children know." Although they are my people, I cannot shield them just because they are their parents and parents. The atmosphere in the room was solemn, "All those on the list, send them to see the God of Light." ”

The other three people's faces tightened, and even Marven didn't care about the discomfort of itching all over his body, and looked at Wren with wide eyes.

This list lists the Ortlenburg people who betrayed the intelligence of Ortrenburg during this time, and they did not hesitate to pass on the information and situation in the city through various means, so that the enemy knew every move and change in the city outside the city. In addition to the ordinary residents, there are also several groups of merchants, why have the people in power since ancient times disliked merchants? Because the smarter and better the merchants, the more restless they are.

These restless businessmen will eventually go from being in business to being outright speculators. They are not optimistic about Rennes, so they will naturally put their chips on others, and in order to win for themselves, it is natural to make trouble in the back or something.

It was a list of more than two hundred people, and Cooper meant to pick out a few representative figures, such as the leaders of certain power organizations, the councilors of certain neighborhoods, and the leaders of certain socialites and merchants. Then these extremely representative people are pulled out and killed alone, which is enough to deter others. But he didn't expect that this city lord, who didn't look very old and was younger than himself, would be so murderous.

Kill everyone on the list!

Cooper hesitated to persuade him, but eventually swallowed all the thoughts into his stomach, and he understood that at this time, it was more appropriate to kill than to let go. He didn't know much about it, but Wren knew that this was a typical on-site patriotic education. The people of Ortlenburg in the front defended the dignity of the city with their lives, but the group of villains in the rear thought about subverting everything, what a good opportunity, which can further inspire the people of Ortlenburg to share the same hatred and determination to the outside world, and can also further enhance the prestige of Rennes in the hearts of the people.

Count them all in one fell swoop!

Cooper saluted and left, Wren glanced at Marven and shook his hand angrily and with a smile, "Hurry up, you annoy me." ”

The smile on Marven's face suddenly bloomed, and his facial features were crowded together, along with wrinkles, like eyes. He jumped away before Wren looked at Alma, "How's the eyes and ears in Mirin City gone?"

Alma hurriedly replied respectfully: "I have done my best to ......", Wren frowned, Alma trembled in fright, and finished his words in one breath, "I have already installed eyes and ears in various noble mansions, and these people are not high enough now, and they may not be able to hear much important news." However, a few girls in the Governor's Palace have done a good job, and they have sent back the news that the little prince is coming to Bell Province for a winter hunt in the near future, and Joberg seems to have some plan against you. ”

Hearing this, Wren nodded thoughtfully, "Continue to increase your strength, and it's best to find out what color underwear he's wearing at this moment." In terms of funds, I will allocate you another 10,000 gold coins, don't live up to my trust in you. ”

After Alma took the order to leave, Wren relaxed his straight waist and sat down in his chair with no aristocratic demeanor. He picked up the bell in his hand and shook it, and the head maid quickly pushed the door in.

"What do you command?"

Wren looked at the chief maid, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad, "I have a question for you." ”

"Speak!", the maid bowed her head and bent slightly.

"I gave my trust to one person, only to return it for betrayal. Before that, I was told that I shouldn't trust that person, but I feel that everyone should have the right to choose. The facts tell me that I lost. He sighed, "You say, what should I do?"

The chief maid gritted her teeth, her face changed color, and her body gradually began to tremble.

Wren continued: "You also arranged that woman that day, right? The time for the change of guard in the City Lord's Mansion was also handed over by you, and you also reported the news when I left the City Lord's Mansion to go to the manor outside the city, and now even what I do every day, what I say, and who I meet, those guys in Milin City are also notified by you." ”

He looked at this chief maid, who was about forty years old, probably because of such a good job as a chief maid in the city lord's mansion, which was very well maintained, and he looked only thirty-three or fourteen years old, full of the charm of a young woman. Wearing a housekeeper's outfit, he added two points of heroism, although he was not particularly good-looking, but his temperament was good, far from being comparable to those village women outside.

"You have a daughter, a son, and a husband. Your daughter has already chosen a family, the illegitimate son of a wealthy businessman, and they are going to get married in the spring. Your son is only nine years old now, and I heard that you are planning to send him to school in Milin City, he is very smart and lively. Your husband is a good old man, and even with your rich salary, he still does some chores in the caravan. Wren's tone was ethereal and elusive, "What a family, why don't you want to believe me?"

His head remained motionless, his eyes were tilted to the side, and he squinted at the trembling maid, "You say, such a happy family is crushed in an instant, how cruel?"

The chief maid could no longer bear the pressure, and knelt on the ground with a pop, shook her thighs again and again, knelt in front of Wren, and kowtowed vigorously. The decoration of the City Lord's Mansion has always been quite luxurious, after all, it is the residence of the supreme ruler of a city, representing the face of the nobility. The pure white and blood-like crimson stone floor is smooth like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of light, and the clear can reflect the human figure.

Whenever the maid kowtowed, a ball of blood appeared with a pop, and the splatters of blood even flew a meter or two away. The maid's eyes were black for a while, the sky was spinning, and her body was shaking. She held herself on to keep herself from falling, and kept grabbing the ground with her head, banging like a drum.

In fact, she, including many people, didn't think that Wren would sit on the throne of this city lord for long at the beginning, he must have been like his predecessors, either going back to the imperial capital in embarrassment, or inexplicably dying in a foreign land. No one would really think that this nineteen-year-old young man named Wren would be able to stand in a city full of villains, scum, murderers, and all kinds of mixed forces.

On the top of the day, she endured, and her morality and professional conduct occupied the peak, and she did not accept the corrosion. But the lord of the city died, and everyone else was rich, but she was still poor. On the last occasion, the city lord came for half a year, and he was at a loss and ready to move. She still held back and did not betray the city lord, but others betrayed the city lord, and as a result, the city lord who was in his thirties and spoke very softly died in the bathtub. Last time, she tried to sell some news to someone outside, and she got a great benefit, although in the end the city lord was forced to leave here and go back to the imperial capital.

Last time, that is, Wren's predecessor, when she betrayed the former city lord, she no longer thought about morality and professional conduct, and as long as she handed out a few pieces of information every day, she could get a few to dozens of silver coins. Occasionally, an important message can even be exchanged for two gold coins. Her family was completely reversed by what she had done, and her daughter did not need to wear patched clothes to the rich man's house, and in the midst of the white eyes and the insults of the hostess, she washed clothes with her hands in the cold of winter in exchange for a pittance of payment.

Her son, too, can wear decent clothes, no longer see the emaciated dishes on his face, and can run around the streets carefree, have fun, and laugh.

Her husband, who does not need to be reprimanded by his employer, does what no one wants to do, and trades his dignity and self-esteem for the needs of family life.

Her parents and mother-in-law no longer need to fear the arrival of the harsh winter, and they no longer need to dance on the death line in order to save heating costs.

Did she do it wrong?

She didn't do anything wrong, she didn't use the money to buy gold and silver jewelry for herself, she didn't buy herself those gorgeous jewelry, she didn't have even a single gorgeous and colorful dress. All her money is used for her family, for her relatives, she is selfless, selfless for her family, and selfless for her relatives.

However, while she was selfless, the nobles who died disgracefully because of her selflessness and left in embarrassment did not get justice and selflessness.

What you are satisfied with is destined to be discarded.

Wren sighed, if it wasn't for the Chamber of Commerce to find this clue, if Wren hadn't asked Alma to keep an eye on the families of all the staff in the City Lord's Mansion, maybe he wouldn't have known. In this castle, which was supposed to give him a sense of security, it was full of cold and deadly viciousness.

glanced at the chief maid who was about to lose consciousness and was completely supported by his will, and he got along for more than two months, and he always had some feelings. But it is these feelings that make Wren extremely angry, extremely manic, and has an extreme desire to destroy.

He dropped a dagger, gorgeously inlaid with precious stones, and the gold-trimmed dagger flicked on the ground with a crisp sound. This voice brought together the maid's consciousness that was about to dissipate, she held the dagger in both hands, the tip of the sword was facing her left atrium, and the towering **** was pierced by the deep sword tip A small cloud of bright red color. Her eyes were full of begging and tears, her expression was sad, and her lips moved, but she did not utter a single syllable.

Wren looked at her with a cold look in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, and forcefully plunged the dagger into her body.

"Let it go...... Spare my family, please. ”

Wren laughed twice, stood up, and looked down at her like a nasty fly or mosquito, "Don't worry, your family will be with you soon." ”

With that, in the eyes of the chief maid, who were gradually losing their lustre, Wren passed through the side door behind the seat and disappeared.

The cold ground eroded away at her body, which had lost its heat, and her body, like the ground, gradually became cold and stiff.

In the frightening struggle, there is no superfluous mercy, and there is no superfluous mercy.

The winner naturally enjoys endless applause and praise, while the loser is always out of sight, rotting.
