Chapter 103: Purge

Imperial capital.

Everyone's lives seem to remain the same.

Work, beg, spend all day drinking.

Everyone has their own living conditions, and even if it is the turmoil in Beicheng, it still has no impact on everyone.

The cries of the vendors on the streets, the insults of drunks in the taverns, and the quarrels between the women in the neighborhood are all the ways of life of the people of the imperial capital.

For thousands of years, it has been like this.

The day was inexplicably gloomy, and it was rare for Heaton to walk out of the institute near the security office.

For the street in front of the garrison department, which has just been washed in blood, there are inevitably fewer pedestrians.

Institutions of violence will always be feared by ordinary people.

"Is it going to rain?"

The gloomy weather is like a big stone pressing on my heart, blocking people's hearts and mouths.

When Heaton went out, Gozqi must accompany him, but fortunately, his emperor knew how to be considerate of his subordinates, and he didn't think of going to the West City Gate to personally supervise the battlefield.

That's right, the battlefield!

Under Heaton's orders, Bud had gone to the West Gate to defend it.

Under the detection of the guards, an army is heading from the sea of trees in Jifonora to the imperial capital, and will arrive at the west of the imperial capital and camp in the west of the imperial capital tonight at the latest.

Judging by the number of people, it is about 30,000 people.

Such a small group of rebels did not pose any threat to the imperial capital at all, but after this rebel army, there were countless dangerous species that followed.

According to intelligence, an alien man armed with a wooden cane was sitting on the head of a first-class dangerous species.

Emperor's Envoy!

"It's just cloudy, Your Majesty!"

Gozzi looked at the clouds in the sky, neither heavy nor gathered, but the sun did not know where to hide, far enough to rain.

"I'm still looking forward to a little bit of rain than a cloudy day."

Heaton shook his head, he loved the feeling of strolling through the drizzle, or listening to the "whoosh" of the rain hitting the eaves.

Only at this time, my heart is always at its calmest.

"How's the Lombatini Circus going?"

"Four people have been arrested, and they are now being interrogated by the Lan Interior Officer in the Security Department."

The escape route of the Lombatini Circus is very rough and not as clever as expected.

"Gozqi, isn't there too much hidden rebels in the imperial capital, how is that imperial envoy in Xicheng investigating?"

Heaton asks about Hill, and so does the rebel Imperial Envoy who was killed by Doctor Fashion's beast in Nancheng before.

Hill is a native of the Imperial Capital, but has been developed into a rebel, and Holimaka is not from the Imperial Capital, nor is he on the list of entering the city, but he appears swaggering in the southern city.

The infiltration of the rebels into the imperial capital is far more serious than imagined, and no one can tell how many dangerous rebel imperial envoys are hidden in the dark.

"Dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates!"

Gozqi directly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, there is nothing to quibble about, it is still the same sentence, the imperial capital is too big.

For the sake of the future, the young people of the foreigners rushed to the imperial capital one by one to seek opportunities, countless merchants, in and out, and the canal, the ships came and went without stopping, from north to south.

In such a large area of the imperial capital, even if it is surrounded by the tall city walls, at night, the four main city gates are closed, but those small city gates are open, because even at night, there will be countless people entering and leaving the imperial capital.

"Let's talk about this matter when the hunting troops come back, let's find out the rebels' hidden lines as soon as possible."

Of course, Heaton understands Gozzi's plight, he hasn't slept well since the day before yesterday, and he, Heaton, is not a capitalist, ruthlessly oppressing his employees, he is just thinking about a solution to this matter.

"Let's go back first, go to the security department."

There's nothing fun outside, Heaton's mental age hasn't reached the point where he will feel happy when he looks at ordinary life, not to mention that the prosperity of the imperial capital is a superficial prosperity, and he just came out to relax.

Yesterday, I stayed in the research institute for almost a day, and the plan to improve my strength was shelved again, and today is a cloudy day, and I am inevitably a little depressed.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy who killed Hill in the garrison hall may know you."

"Leonay, it's okay, let's go."

Gozzi got Leonay's information as soon as he came out of the security hall yesterday, and at the same time knew that she was the little girl he met when he came back from the West Street execution ground that night.

Leonai's life can be said to be clear, and it is almost what color pants he likes to wear.

Naturally, this report was also put in front of Heaton.

Gozzi reminded Heaton because he was afraid of revealing the Emperor's identity, after all, judging from the situation of Leonay on the report, this was not a peaceful person.

It is impossible for Heaton's appearance and portrait to be passed on to ordinary people, and even some important officials in the imperial capital may not know what the emperor looks like, just like the interior officials and the like have seen Heaton at the court meeting in the audience hall, but if it is said that the dictation allows the painter to draw Heaton's portrait and circulate it to the rebels, it is necessary to consider the risks.

What's more, Heaton is out of the palace, these imperial capital officials don't know, which is why he Heaton swaggered on the streets as an emperor.

"Peng!"

As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Heaton heard a loud commotion.

It was the sound of a fist slamming against an iron eucalyptus table.

"Lombatini, repeat, what's that man's name!"

Lanna's calm-sounding but angry voice came, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

"Champ!"

"Squeak~"

Gozzi pushed the door open for Heaton, and Lan turned his head to look at the commotion.

"Your Majesty!"

Lan regained his composure a little.

"Your Majesty?"

Lombatini, handcuffed in his seat, widened his eyes.

Now he is the only one in the interrogation room, a member of the Lombatini Circus.

"What's the matter?" Heaton asked Ran.

"Now a total of four people in a Lombatini troupe have been arrested, namely the troupe leader Lombatini, three members, Amuri, Natalia, and Danguan, and now the general direction of the other members has also been determined, and if the location is accurate, they will soon be arrested.

The Lombatini Troupe was previously responsible for the transmission of information to the rebels in the north, but some time ago, they received an order to go to the imperial capital, and at the same time met Shura, becoming a hiding base for Shura.

According to Lombatini, they will gather the rebels' dark line tonight and launch an attack in the imperial capital, while taking control of the docks in the northern city. ”

Lan recounted the important information he had just asked.

Dark line! Dock!

Heaton captures two of the most important points in this passage.

"There is a list in their hands, the rebels have been in charge of the secret spies of the imperial capital's intelligence for so many years, and there are also some businessmen, who use the method of recruiting workers to disguise some rebels hidden among the civilians as caravan guards, and most of these people are Guards soldiers who have been rectified in the past three years, or veterans who have reached the age of retirement."

"The people of Nangakidd and Hinhermi?"

Heaton asked.

"Yes, but not only, and not only the soldiers of the Guards, the people of the slums, etc."

There are far more rebels than expected, and the list given by Lombatini is only a few dozen, but what Lan said is the approximate range given by Lombatini based on years of information transmission, and it is impossible to determine the specific personnel.

Because these dark lines are hidden from each other, they will not be connected to each other unless they are commanded above.

"What about the docks?"

"According to the task given to Lombatini by the rebels, they want to rob the dragon boat and set it on fire at the dock, and then someone will rush into the inner city in the dragon boat!"

The Imperial Grand Canal flows through the inner city.

"It seems that the rebels don't just want to target the southern frontier!" Heaton groaned as he thought about the purpose of the rebels' move.

But now that the information is almost understood, the rest doesn't need to worry about him.

Gozzi will arrest the people involved and then interrogate them one by one.

Both the dragon ship plan and the hidden rebel lines are gradually emerging, and Gozzi's idea of resting seems to be taking some time.

The cleaning of the imperial capital, catching rats and cleaning up moths is being carried out step by step, but depending on the situation, there will probably be no obvious results before the end of this war.

Fortunately, Gozqi has strong physical support, and this middle-aged man does not have to go home to pay his wife's food, but can serve Heaton well.

Matz's mother, Gozzi's wife Heaton, didn't know who it was, she wasn't there anyway, and Heaton hadn't gossiped to the point of asking about the family situation of her subordinates.

"Why is he so honest?"

Heaton pointed to Lombatini, who was sitting on the iron bench with a decadent face, a little puzzled, shouldn't the rebels be stubborn to the end and not say anything?

"It's Shura!" Lan's face changed slightly, and he said the reason: "The idea of the Lombatini Circus is... But Shura's men and their philosophies clearly did not match. ”

Lan didn't say it carefully, after all, in front of the emperor and a rebel, telling about the rebels for the sake of the poor people's ideals, wouldn't this seem to be the inaction of the empire.

Heaton immediately understood and walked out of the interrogation room, followed by Ran, beckoning the members of the garrison to take Lombatini back to the cell.

"Your Majesty, I want to personally capture the remaining members of Lombatini."

Lan said suddenly.

"Found the killer of the missing child?"

Heaton heard Champu's name as soon as he entered the door, and knew what purpose Lan had in mind to arrest him.

"Yes, it's Shura's subordinates, disguised as a clown who was newly recruited after the troupe came to the imperial capital, and followed him all the way from Beicheng to Nancheng, so he was not found in the slums."

"Go ahead, but as soon as possible, the rebels in White Horse Mountain are outside the city, and now the rebels in the imperial capital don't know what they will do, and the suppressed backlash to the extreme, this is the most critical juncture, and the garrison department must protect the safety of the people as much as possible."

"Yes, whether it succeeds or not, I'll be back by midevening!"

Lan assured, his tone was resolute, he hated Champ more than anything else.

He will not arrest him in the name of the Empire, in the name of the Garrison, but to settle the matter with personal hatred, and he also makes this pervert feel the pain of dying at his hands, and tortures him to death little by little.

There is a demon hidden in everyone's heart, and Lan wants to let Shang Pu completely feel the demon in his heart!

Lan left first, hurried from the security hall to the escape places that Lombatini had set for everyone.

"Back to research... Wait, go and see Leonay! ”

Heaton suddenly remembered something, and his thoughts changed and he walked in the direction of the hospital room.

Because he thought of the destruction of the Seleucus squad of the garrison at the Lombardini Circus.

Mummy!

It can only be the Western alchemist Doteya.

Heaton needs this man!

"Kacha!"

The door to the ward was pushed open by Gozzi.

"Peng!"

I saw a yellow figure jumping on the hospital bed quickly.

"Hmm... Big pig, why did Ni come? ”

I saw Leonai wrapped his body in a white futon, revealing only one face, his mouth bulging, and his speech slurred.

Gozzi frowned slightly, but didn't speak, and Heaton walked in through the door.

"Uh-huh! Muddy"

At the sight of Heaton, Leonay's eyes widened, and he was so excited that something from his mouth squirted out a little.

Heaton sniffed the strong smell of alcohol in the room, frowned, and looked at Leonay with a puzzled expression.

"Goodu!"

Leonay swallowed the full mouth of wine in one gulp, and let out a long breath of wine.

"Why don't you garrison let the wounded drink! Growing up, I was injured by drinking! ”

She looked vicious, as if she was complaining about Heaton's different relationships, and she had a posture of not giving an explanation, and she would definitely make trouble to the end.

"Ears!"

Heaton didn't reply, pointing to Leonay's yellow furry ears that were leaking out of the bandage.

"Ahh

Leonay was startled and reached out from the quilt to touch the top of his head, only to feel empty.

But because she let go of the hand that was holding the futon inside, the whole futon slipped off her body, revealing the bottles and cans and snacks inside.

The atmosphere froze for a while.

"Ahaha, this..."

Leonay laughed awkwardly, the reason why she was like this was because the nurse of the security department didn't drink and eat snacks, and when Gozzi first came in, she thought she was here to arrest her.

Unexpectedly, it was Gozzi and Heaton, and she had an idea and began to pretend.

She thought that Heaton and Gozzi would not recognize her, but she did not expect that Leonay would suddenly recall the events of that night.

"Little brother, do you recognize me? Good eyes, I'm so tightly wrapped. ”

Leonay touched the bandages on her body, and wondered a little, how could she feel like she was caught and raped in bed!

"I have a better memory."

Heaton smiled slightly, said mysteriously, and then walked over to Leonay, took out a bag of snacks from the hospital bed, unpacked it, and ate it to himself.

Well... Cucumber flavored fries, not bad.

Heaton didn't expect that there was such a thing as a snack in this world, which he had never seen in the palace.

Gozzi, who was standing aside, did not speak, but stood quietly by the door, thinking about why His Majesty had come to see Leonay.

Although he didn't quite understand, he knew that there must be no good thing, and his majesty would not usually show such a smile.

But Leonay certainly couldn't have imagined that the boy in front of her, who was obviously younger than herself, was wondering how to pit herself, and her eyes were on the band of fries that Heaton had taken.

That's the last bag.

"Actually, you can remove the bandage, it's okay, you can stay in the garrison after removing it."

Heaton said to Leonay.

"Ah, yes, haha, I'm really good."

Leonai laughed dryly, his idea of mixing food in the garrison hall with his sick number was actually seen through!

As she spoke, she began to untie the bandages on her head.

"Little brother, why did you come to me, is there anything wrong?"

Leonay, who didn't know Heaton's identity yet, asked stupidly.
