Chapter 278: Looking Back Again
The mountains don't know the years.
Only the most heinous criminals can be imprisoned at the bottom of the blood prison.
And Augustine the Great is the greatest emperor in the history of the Holy Saints, and the person who killed him must be the most deranged criminal in the history of the Holy Dynasty.
Captain Vick felt that his application would be [John. Watson's suggestion to go to the bottom of the blood prison should be adopted soon.
However, what he didn't understand was that such a most reasonable paperwork report was stuck for a whole week, and then rejected as it was.
What made him even more unbelievable was that during an execution a few years ago, a criminal died on the execution table due to a sudden heart attack, which was suddenly picked up a few days ago, and then defined as dereliction of duty, and he was about to accept punishment from the trial court.
This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, smells of conspiracy, and he naturally thinks that someone is doing ghosts, but after reporting it to the warden, he didn't get any response.
Blood prisons should not be interfered with by the outside world, no matter how those vicious criminals are covered, there must be a place in this world to punish them, and that is the blood prison!
That being said, but after all, there seems to be some force that is faintly influencing here
In desperation, Victor could only vent his anger on Watson.
But the final result was that during the execution, he was constantly being ridiculed and ridiculed by the hateful man, and even the other party gave him some advice, which made Victor's self-esteem suffer a lot again, and he didn't sleep well for almost three days.
However. Compared to Sherlock's leisurely stay in the blood prison, and Watson's constant confrontation with Captain Vick with his own strength, or perverted willpower, those who care about them outside the blood prison don't seem to be so happy.
Moriarty didn't show up much during this time, but some subtle personnel changes seemed to give many of the jailers in the blood prison a rare vacation, and another group of new jailers on shifts were stationed there, and as for the feared executioner, he was about to receive a problematic punishment in two weeks.
Where there are people, there is society, so even if it is explicitly stipulated that the top of the Holy See is not allowed to interfere with the blood prison, there is always some way to infiltrate it.
But the worrying thing is that these operations are still too slow, and there is no way to do that if you say release people on the front foot, the prisoners in the back foot can be released.
And in a place like the blood prison, staying in it for an extra day is the most painful torture for many years.
In a study of the consul's residence in the ancient Roman city of law, the new emperor Franklin silently stared at some documents in his hand, he didn't know how long he had been reading, the electric light above his head was shining, but his eyes were still a little sour after all.
He took his glasses off, threw them on the desk, and rubbed between his brows.
The new king of the empire, who had only been in office for two months, had received a large amount of popular support in a very short period of time, which was twice as high as he had received in the past year.
The rate of rise was somewhat unexpected, but it made sense.
The main reason is because of money
After several large states implemented the automation of mechanical products produced by electricity, more than 150 factories have increased their efficiency by a full fourfold!
This increase in efficiency, first of all, brought about the delivery of products and the increase in wages, coupled with a few solid reports, which instantly made this emperor from energy science the object of worship of citizens at the bottom of every empire.
And now, several government officials in front of him bowed their heads in great embarrassment before he dropped his glasses.
"No matter how many people or explanations there are, there is no way to change the facts, and the accident orchestrated by Augustine the Great is a massacre," his tone was full of exhaustion, but there was a firmness that could not be refuted by anyone.
The two government officials looked at each other very covertly, and after a while, one of them spoke worriedly:
"However, this is the time when the will of the people of the empire is at its highest, and the number of conscripts last month was 40% higher than in previous periods"
"I don't want to hear that." Franklin interrupted what the official in front of him had said.
In fact, it is very strange, because the new king has actually been very modest and moderate in the past two months, and he is willing to listen to a lot of political advice and statements from all sides, and then give his own judgment after careful consideration.
But in the assassination case of the former emperor, he showed great firmness!
"No matter how glorious his past history is, the moment he commits a crime, then he is a criminal."
"I don't want to erase the merits of Augustine the Great, he deserves the adoration of all the people of the empire, but merit and fault cannot be compared, this is not a seesaw, the weight of one side does not make the other high."
"You should know that I am not a traditional politician, in my philosophy, one plus one is always equal to two, only when the most basic views are correct, the remaining theories and experiments have the possibility of success, therefore, the crimes of Augustine the Great will one day be made public, and the people have the right to know the truth, and it is history that can judge whether a person is great or not, and we are not qualified to do so."
"I agree to make this matter public in stages, but I can't accept that it has been hidden or whitewashed forever."
"Also, the two assassins were indeed mad, but Augustine the Great was suspected of massacres, power plots, and Charles. The death of Dean Darwin. His trial is long overdue, and it is the fault of the imperial judicial system.
Then I don't think those two assassins should be imprisoned in a blood cell for the time being.
Rather, it should be transferred to the normal judicial process. ”
Franklin's words can be regarded as standing on the level of theory, but in the ears of those old foxes who have been soaked in the political bastard for half their lives, they can always detect something.
Could it be that the emperor of the empire wants to save those two murderers?
Actually, this is not the most incomprehensible.
In some circles of the Empire, some news will always come out in all sorts of unbelievable ways.
Because there are people who want to make these things known.
For example
In fact, the new pope of the Holy See does not seem to want the two most terrible assassins in the Holy Calendar to stay in the blood prison.
And Her Highness seems to have applied to the blood prison more than once to enter and visit those two people.
Even some business tycoons who obviously can't get along with those two guys are paying close attention to those two people.
This strange phenomenon gradually circulated among the group of people at the top of the imperial pyramid, which made people have to think deeply and be curious about it, as if there were too many eyes gathered on those two people.
And on such a calm night.
By the riverbank of a small seaside town.
An old beggar, with a broken body, appeared out of nowhere, and he staggered and dragged his missing body to a brick and stone hut.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door
