Chapter 144: Arrest and Trial
On December 31, 312 of the imperial calendar, more than two months have passed since Ouyang Yu liberated the whole of Gaul, during this time Ouyang Yu invested a lot of money and materials to start a long construction process, and the Gallic people who regained their freedom ate themselves, eating the food provided by Ouyang Yu, wearing the clothes provided by Ouyang Yu, and their love and support for Ouyang Yu exceeded that of any king in their history, because the Gallic royal family was completely wiped out, and the call of the Gallic people to ask Ouyang Yu to ascend the throne and establish himself as the king was getting higher and higher, of course, the work propaganda team sent by Ouyang Yu also contributed a lot, Ouyang Yu had to let the Gauls know whose food they ate, whose clothes they worn, and whose houses they built.
However, there are also discordant voices in the midst of a voice, and the nobles of the former Gallic Kingdom are the biggest opposition group, because since the liberation of Gaul, no Gallic nobles have been appointed as officials by Ouyang Yu, but a large number of capable commoners have been promoted to serve as officials at all levels, including official positions that only nobles could hold before, so the nobles of the former Gallic Kingdom are very dissatisfied.
The royal palace of the Gallic Kingdom was partially burned down because of the collective suicide of Bourbon II with all the royal family, and the Governor of Hope rebuilt the burned part after moving in, and now Ouyang Yu also lives in the palace, because she does not like the part of the reconstruction she divided the palace into two, and the first half of the reconstruction became the office of the provisional military administration, and the second half of the unharmed part is her place of residence.
At more than nine o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yu, who was still reading official documents, welcomed a special guest, and the director of the Security Bureau, Zolfo, walked into her study.
"Sit down, how are you doing?"
Ouyang Yu's head is still buried in a large number of official documents, there is too much reconstruction work in Gaul, even if a large part of the power is handed over to the officials to let them handle it all, there are still many things that Ouyang Yu needs to deal with personally.
Zorf respectfully sat on his side and replied, "My lord, the matter you explained has basically been completed, and here is the information I have." After speaking, Zolf took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and put them on Ouyang Yu's desk.
Ouyang Yu picked up the document and looked at it carefully, and praised Zolf while reading it: "I didn't expect that in just two months, you have already established a relatively complete intelligence network in Gaul, and you have done a good job." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Zolf stood up a little excitedly and thanked him, now with the change of Ouyang Yu's identity, Zorf has also risen to become one of the big shots, and everyone who sees him will respectfully call him the director, which makes Zolf with a strong vanity very satisfied, the only pity that makes him feel a pity is that there is no title, the title of the Duchy of Lucerne has been given up with him following Ouyang Yu to Gaul.
"Tut-tut, I can't imagine that most of the people who helped the Phoenix Empire during the occupation were mercenaries of mercenary groups, although mercenaries are people without a country, but there are not a few mercenaries from Gaul, don't they feel a little guilty about helping the enemy country to oppress their comrades?"
Ouyang Yu asked Zolf to investigate the people who helped the empire during the occupation of Gaul, according to Huaxia's words, they are traitors, because Ouyang Yu promised that the people of Gaul would openly try those Gallic traitors, but many of the Gallic traitors were forced out of helplessness, these people's crimes are lighter and less punished can be done, they belong to the objects that can be fought for, there are not many people who are really desperate for the empire, and according to Zolf's investigation, most of them are the heads of mercenary groups, and most of the mercenary groups are private armies secretly funded by nobles, that is to say, it is those who are selfish who really betray the motherland and compatriots, There are no nobles who have only family interests in their eyes and hearts, which is also the reason why Ouyang Yu is unwilling to give rights to the nobles.
The materials given by Zolf show that the crimes of the mercenary groups are shocking, it is simply a history of the blood and tears of the Gauls, and the number of Gauls whose families are ruined and whose property is usurped is innumerable, and the majority of them are civilians, and some minor nobles are also among them.
"Hmph, these people's crimes are all enough to shoot for ten minutes!"
Ouyang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the document on the table and instructed Zolf: "Arrange for your people to arrest the people above, but the people to be arrested are near and far, in order not to startle the snake, it is best to send people out first, and after all the personnel are in place, they will be arrested in a unified manner, and I will send troops to help you at that time." ”
"Yes, I will do as you tell me. Zolf hurriedly took out a pen and paper and recorded what Ouyang Yu had told him face-to-face, and after Ouyang Yu explained a few more words, Zolf withdrew from her office, and he was busy for the next period of time.
Half a month later, at more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, the Montenegrin mercenary group stationed, the head of the regiment Haosen was holding a young woman and falling asleep, the Montenegrin mercenary group is a large mercenary group of more than 4,000 people, based in the medium-sized city of Lorraine, operating in several surrounding towns, acting as a thug and pawn of the imperial army during the imperial occupation of the adjacent neighbors, after Gaul was liberated by Ouyang Yu, Haosen was worried at first that he would be settled by the autumn, but the master behind him told him that there would be no problems, and there was no news that anyone who had helped the empire was arrested for more than two months, so Haosen gradually let go of his worries about what to do。
The Montenegrin mercenary group is stationed separately because there are many people and many places to do things, and the place where Hausen is located is the headquarters of Lorraine City, and there are only more than 100 people living with the high-level of the mercenary group in normal times.
Tonight, many dark clouds and three moons are hiding in the thick clouds, the two mercenaries who are guarding the gate of the garrison are holding rifles and leaning against the gate and are drowsy, four black shadows suddenly burst out in the darkness and stunned the two mercenaries, and lightly put down the fainted mercenaries and opened the gate, and then a large number of soldiers appeared on the street corner and rushed into the station.
Haosen was woken up by the noise coming from outside the door, and he couldn't bear the warm nephrite in his arms, and he yelled unhappily to the door: "Come on, come on!"
"Bang!"
The door was violently kicked open, and a group of people rushed into the room, and Haosen was just about to get angry, but after seeing the clothes on the intruder's body, cold sweat flowed out instantly.
A man wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat took out a piece of paper from his arms and said loudly: "Commander Haosen, I am an agent of the Security Bureau, and on the orders of Lord Ouyang, I will arrest you on eighteen serious charges such as treason, collaborating with the enemy, and homicide, and someone will take you away!"
Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and dragged Hausen off the bed and tied him up, only then did Hausen react and shout while struggling: "You can't catch me, my back is ...... Woo!"
Before Hausen could finish his words, several of his teeth were knocked out by soldiers with the butt of his gun, and the agents of the Security Bureau said disdainfully: "No one behind you is useless, no one can protect you, take it away!"
Hausen was gagged by his own stinky socks, and then dragged out of the room like a dead pig, along with the entire upper echelons of the Montenegrin mercenary group.
On the 14th day of January 313 in the imperial calendar, the Security Bureau, with the cooperation of the army, arrested a total of 110,000 people in the entire territory of Gaul, and all the people who were captured helped and assisted the Gallic traitors of the empire during the imperial occupation, among which the mercenaries of the mercenary group accounted for most of the 110,000 people, almost sweeping away the mercenary groups in Gaul.
Early in the morning of January 15, 313 of the imperial calendar, the shouts of propagandists sent by Ouyang Yu sounded in all towns and cities of Gaul.
"Everyone, the public trial and judgment of the Gallic traitors will be held in two hours, please go to the XX assembly then, everyone, the public trial and judgment conference of the Gallic traitors will be held in two hours, please go to the XX assembly ...... then!"
The interrupted shouts of the propagandists aroused the curiosity of the inhabitants, and after hearing that it was a trial of the Gallic traitors who had oppressed them, all of them hurried to the meeting place, and none of these ordinary Gauls had not been oppressed by those Gallic traitors, and they were eager to see the fate of those Gallic traitors.
The same was true of the streets of St. Ives, where the people gathered towards the largest square in the city, which was already crowded with people, at least fifty or sixty thousand, and thousands of soldiers trying to maintain order.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Yu appeared in the square under the protection of the personal guards, her appearance attracted the cheers of the people, Ouyang Yu, who was wearing a Soviet military uniform, ascended the high platform and waved to the people with a smile, and after tens of thousands of people quieted down, Ouyang Yu waved his hand, and the Gallic traitors who were captured last night were brought to the front of the stage one by one.
"Hang them!"
"Kill these bitches!"
"Kill them to avenge my daughter!"
"He killed my son!"
Seeing the appearance of a large group of Gallic traitors, the shouts and curses of the people at the scene were endless, and the crowd was excited, and some of the people even wanted to rush up and kill one of them, and the soldiers had to work hard to maintain the order of the scene.
"Please be quiet, please be quiet!"
Zolf, who was following Ouyang Yu, held a loudspeaker and finally quieted down tens of thousands of people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your feelings very well, but there are family rules, the country has national laws, even these people must be judged fairly and justly, and the reason why I have summoned you here today is because Lord Ouyang once made a promise to all the people of Gaul, and now it is time for Lord Ouyang to fulfill his promise to everyone, and to judge these scum who betrayed the country and oppressed their compatriots!"
"Long live Lord Ouyang!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people were earth-shattering, and the Gallic people present had high respect for Ouyang Yu from the bottom of their hearts.
Ouyang Yu, who was sitting on the high platform, kept waving to the people, thinking to himself: "From now on, people's hearts are in my hands." ”
There is another chapter in the evening, but after ten o'clock.
