"Stand upright!" On the school ground, where the faint smell of gunpowder and blood wafted, a long command sounded.

In the neat formation, all the soldiers folded their legs together in an instant, and waited for the next precise order with their chins held high.

The commander at the head did not let his men wait long, and immediately gave a skillful order: "Turn right!" ”

"Whoa!" In the long queue, all the soldiers turned their bodies in unison, and the expressionless soldiers did not squint, waiting for a new order from their commander.

"Raise your gun!" The officer standing at one end of the queue held his hands behind his back and continued to shout coldly.

With his shout, all the soldiers picked up their M4 assault rifles and rested the butts on their shoulders.

Their cheeks pressed against the cheeks on the butts of their rifles, and their eyes looked through the holographic scopes on the guns to see a group of panicked people standing in front of the thick wall in the distance.

The men were tied with ropes in circles, and at their feet lay a row of corpses with body temperatures.

Behind the men, the walls were riddled with bullet holes, and some of the dried up had turned brownish-black bloodstains.

"Aim! Bullet...... Load! The officer at one end of the queue raised his arm and shouted loudly in a long voice.

Following his order, the long platoon of soldiers stretched out their hands and pulled the bolt on the gun, and with the sound of the bolt sliding, the whole school field fell silent again.

"Execution!" The officer who raised his arm swung his arm forward, and a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

The white smoke from the bullets on the wall gradually dissipated, and several felons with shackles began to step forward in a panic, carrying the corpses in front of the wall one by one onto a flatbed truck specially designed to drag the corpses.

"I ...... I'm guilty of homicide...... There is also a three-month appeal period...... They're ...... What kind of sin? Execution by Shooting Immediately? A middle-aged man carrying the corpse asked his companion in a low voice while pulling the corpse's feet.

His companion tugged at the prisoner's coat on the bloodstained corpse, and as he swayed to throw the corpse into the car, he replied one by one, "Is it okay...... Guilty ...... What the...... Sin...... Embezzlement...... Collected the money......"

As soon as the hands were loosened, the corpse was thrown onto the pile of corpses by inertia, and before it could settle down, it tumbled down again, like a worn-out sack.

Waiting on the side, a fat man who was tied with hemp rope like a rice dumpling finally couldn't bear it, he turned around and tried to escape, but he couldn't pull the other prisoners who were tied to the same rope, and could only circle in a small area.

So the fat man cried out in despair, and cried out, "I have been wronged! I...... I was wrong! I haven't taken the money yet! Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

As he wailed, he saw a middle-aged man and an old man who had been tied up and executed not far behind him. So he surged his fat body and rushed desperately towards the two acquaintances who usually called him brothers.

While pulling the rope and rushing towards the two, he cursed loudly: "You killed Lao Tzu!" You've killed Lao Tzu! I'm X you're M! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you! ”

The guard who escorted them to the execution ground frowned, walked up to the fat man, smashed the butt of a rifle on his face, which had not been shaved for several days, and scolded: "What is the name of the ghost? Go back! ”

Not far behind them, the flatbed truck full of corpses had been pushed away, and the executioner's long shout rang out again: "Lizheng! Turn right! ”

……

Rubbing his brow with his fingers, Jarvis felt that his mood was slightly better.

He raised his head, looked at Karl, an important minister of the inner court, who was standing in front of him, and sighed before speaking: "It's only been a few years, and the rule of the empire has begun to collapse?" ”

"There's no way, we're expanding too fast, so there's a problem everywhere." Carl, who has always been Chris's personal minister, did not have a good expression on his face, and said to Jarvis: "Your Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister, you need some thunder means this time. ”

"The knife of the supervision department is not not sharp, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been in charge of Deans, and you don't know his methods." Jarvis said tiredly, "Unfortunately, those bastards always think that they will be the lucky ones. ”

The expansion of the Irlanhill Empire is too fast, and now the entire Aeranhill Empire, only the Eternal Empire and the Dragon's homeland are not under the jurisdiction of the Orchid Hill Empire.

And the Eternal Empire is only nominally independent. In fact, the decrees of the Irlanhill Empire are not only unimpeded here, but even more severe.

However, in less than ten years, the entire planet has been unified, and for the Irlanhill Empire, the shortage of talents is the most fatal.

Although there is a magic ball of knowledge to help those officials master administrative skills, professional ethics cannot be trained in a short period of time.

The empire can only be immature and dull to instill the idea of loyalty and patriotism to these officials over and over again, but the effect can only be regarded as average.

The end result is that the composition of the top that rules this empire is very complex. Among them are the former vassals of the Irranhill Empire, the old nobles of the other occupied territories, and a large number of complex neutrals.

The new nobles, royalty, and new officials cultivated by the Irlanhill Empire itself, plus the nobles and new officials of other races, as well as countless subordinated generals in the occupied areas, nobles and natives in the regions, and ministers of the old school......

In order to quickly stabilize the region, the empire also used some old officials, and it is difficult to say whether these people are good or not.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the rule of the empire began to gradually collapse.

Almost at the same time, the Inspectorate, the Legal Department, and even the Special Missions Department of the Royal Guard...... These departments are investigating corruption.

Every day, corrupt officials are arrested, sent to prison, or sent to the execution ground to be executed.

But even so, there are still people who are not afraid of death who are willing to embezzle and risk their lives.

There is no way, with the continuous expansion of the scale of economic construction, there are too many projects that can make money. There are more rich people, more people who aspire to become richer, and more crazy people who are unwilling to take the normal path.

Capital is so ruthless and stupid. Those bastards who don't want to die, as long as they see the right price, hang their own rope and they are willing to sell.
