Chapter 351: News from the Whole Territory
Twilight these days... No, these days have not been quiet in Doguland, and all the kingdoms have not been quiet from top to bottom.
Last year, the extraterrestrial visitor who killed the Sun King in the "Battle of the Eclipse" reappeared in the mortal world, which attracted widespread public attention.
Not long ago, another bombshell news swept across the kingdom.
...
The little postboy in Twilight City, who had amassed a small fortune by his own efforts, had abandoned his large shabby schoolbag in favor of an ox cart full of newspapers he had taken from the newspaper clerk, and as he drove through the streets, he shouted: "The Daily Chronicle!" "Daily Chronicle"! Chino Van Helsing, the administrator of Twilight, is suspected to be a visitor from outside the world and is about to be sentenced to death at the Kingdom Council! With such exciting news, don't you really come and see it! β
In fact, the news shouted by the post boy had spread all over the streets and alleys a few days ago, but because it was so shocking that the newspaper was sold out of stock that day, and the newspaper office reprinted it again and again, it could not catch up with the people's desire to buy, so it had to further expand production, and it was still in short supply today.
As soon as the postboy shouted at this time, the crowd immediately gathered to stop the ox cart, shouting and handing over Tie Yue, wanting to buy the newspaper and have a look.
There are also many clever civilians who don't want to pay for themselves, so they wait for others to buy newspapers, pretend to post them to discuss facts with each other, and then read them for free.
"Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one, there are a lot of extra prints today, everyone can buy it~" The post boy kept collecting money and then handed over the newspaper, the small money bag on the waist could not be filled for a long time, he directly took a hemp bag to collect the iron moon, and listened to the echo of the collision of the moon coins while collecting it, and smiled from ear to ear.
After buying the newspaper, the people couldn't wait to find a place to start reading, and there were a lot of people squeezed next to them, and they would wave their hands to drive them away at first, but there were so many of them that they couldn't finish it at all, so they couldn't help but sigh and simply spread the newspaper on the ground for everyone to read together.
The civilians sighed as they watched:
"God above, why is it so sudden? The magistrate of Chino was actually arrested and taken to the royal city..."
"I heard that all the people involved with him have been arrested, not only the government residence, but all the officials in the twilight city, up to the eight positions, down to the guards, whether they are from commoners or nobles, even the officials from the royal family have not escaped, they have all been arrested!"
"So, we've been ruled by an extraterrestrial visitor for so long?! O gods, the soul of the Sun King, please forgive me for the desecration of my will and personality..."
"Let's stop talking. Even if Administrator Chino is a visitor from outside the world, he has always been conscientious, never bullying civilians, and has nothing to say about the good of Twilight, no matter how good it is better than Huck Lorrison's cheap dog! Now that our standard of living has improved a lot, we must be a little grateful, right? β
"What? Do you sympathize with a blasphemer? He is a visitor from outside the world, and this identity is a great crime! If you sympathize with him, you are also a blasphemer! β
"Who are you blaspheming?!"
"Say you! What do you think?! β
The two civilians were arguing and arguing, and suddenly began to scold each other, and those next to them who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement were divided into two factions to coax:
"That's right! Chino is a blasphemer, and those who support him are blasphemers! Damn it! β
"Don't bark here, garbage that doesn't know how to be grateful! People like you don't deserve to be nice to you! β
"You know how to be grateful, you are amazing, why are you so poor that you can't even afford a newspaper, and you still have to read it here?"
"Aren't you looking at it too?!"
...
Seeing that everyone was arguing, and it was about to change from a literary fight to a martial fight, an old man came out to make a round: "Don't quarrel, you haven't quarreled to the critical point." Go, take a closer look at the newspaper - suspected of being a visitor from outside the world - can you understand the two words that are suspected to be understood? β
The man who said that Chino was a blasphemer snorted and said confidently, "I don't understand, my parents didn't teach me to read." β
Another scolded at Chino, "Then what are you squeezing over to see?" β
"I don't watch, I'll listen to you." The man said shaking his legs.
The old man waved his hand and said earnestly: "You are too young and naΓ―ve, and what is said in the newspaper should be seen in combination with the facts. Were any of you present when Administrator Chino was arrested? β
The civilians shook their heads.
The old man smiled meaningfully: "Coincidentally, I happened to be sleeping in the alley of a nearby street, do you want to know what happened at that time?" β
"Yes!" The civilians spoke in unison, holding their breath.
"Ahem." The old man coughed lightly, stretched out his dirty hand, and made a motion of rubbing the moon coin, which is a common action in any country and any city.
There was a rich man present, anxious to listen to the story, so he took out a small bag of copper moon from his arms and handed it to him.
The old man took the copper moon with a smile and continued: "Although I didn't see that scene directly, but I can hear the sound at that time, I can hear it clearly, the sound is like thunder, it makes my ears hurt, it not only announced the identity of Chino's administrator, but also said at the end - if Chino does not die, one day, the king of the heavens will come!" and all of them will perish with them. β
The commoner was taken aback: "What does this king refer to?" β
"This, presumably, is also something that the royal family wants to figure out." The old man's fingers swiped over the newspaper, and finally landed on the word "suspected", and said with a smile, "This is also why, the word 'suspected' is specially marked on the newspaper." β
These two words show that the royal family's current attitude towards Chino's administrator is wavering, after all, the statement 'Chino is a visitor from outside the world' comes from other visitors from outside the world. How true or false this enemy's words are, no one can say for sure. β
"Therefore, the word 'suspected' is crucial. If it is determined later, the administrator of Chino is a visitor from outside the world, and with these news and news as a foreshadowing, it seems reasonable and unabrupt to kill him. β
"And if the Chino administrator is slandered, with this word, the royal family will also have room for maneuver in public opinion - I said that it was suspicious, but I didn't say that he was, now it's wrong, it's just to clarify~"
At first, the civilians thought that the old man was chewing words, and listening to such an analysis, it seemed to be reasonable.
The old man touched his beard and said with a smile: "The Daily Chronicle is worthy of being an official newspaper, the writing is sophisticated, the word "suspicious" seems ordinary, and the information contained in it is very diverse. β
The civilian asked: "Old man, according to you, how will the matter of Chino's administrator end?" β
The old man shook his head and said, "I think it's very dangerous." Now that the other visitors are dead, dead without proof, all the arguments of the Chino administrator will be one-sided and not to be trusted. In my opinion, even if he is really slandered, my political career may come to an end, and it is already the best result to be able to save his life, and even if he survives, I am afraid that he will spend the rest of his life in prison. β
