As Bolton set out from the palace with his legions, the other corner of Dogurland was not at peace.

At noon, the central square of Danyu City was already full of 10,000 people, crowded, the atmosphere was restless, all kinds of shouts and scolding came one after another, and from time to time you could see someone pushing and shoving, and even scuffling under the drive of irritable emotions.

A guillotine had been erected in the center of the square, and the sluice knife reflected in the blazing sun of the dome, making no secret of its thirst for blood.

At this time, all the eight officials of Danyu City were present, and the consul Gomai, who was the leader, stood in front of him, shouting hoarsely: "Citizens of Danyu City, the Dragon Fire Festival is a great and commemorative day, which has brought many shocking moments in previous years, however, this year's Dragon Fire Festival has left us with painful memories. ”

"The night before yesterday's Dragon Fire Festival fireworks ceremony, a natural vision, a rare change in the direction of the wind, caused the fireworks to ignite the eight granaries, millions of tons of grain to nothing... Those are all the relief food that the royal city has sent to us! ”

A civilian at the front shouted and asked, "There is so much wheat planted in the Danyu Plain, why does Wangcheng send us relief grain?" ”

Gomez's eyes flashed with cunning, and he shouted righteously, "Because it's an order from the royal family!" His Majesty the King demands that the unripe wheat stalks in the Danyu Plain be uprooted immediately, and the Blood Essence Grass will be planted instead! ”

As soon as these words came out, exclamations came one after another, and the people suddenly exploded:

"His Majesty wants the Danyu Plains to be replanted with Blood Essence Grass? Our wheat is ripe soon, isn't it too much to lose by pulling it out now? Why?! ”

"So the relief grain is to make up for the lack of food after the straw has been pulled? But now that the granaries are all burned down, if the wheat stalks are pulled out again, how are we going to eat?! ”

"What's the use of that thing in the Blood Essence Grass! You can't eat it as a meal! ”

"Can't pull it out! Unless we send us another batch of relief food, we will resolutely not pull it out! ”

"My family's grain stock is empty, and now my wife and children are waiting for this season's wheat to ripen, and if the wheat stalks are pulled, our whole family will starve to death!"

...

The shouts came and went, which can be described as the excitement of the crowd, and many civilians had already bottomed out in their homes, and they had been hungry for several days, waiting for the wheat to be harvested to save their lives.

Now they suddenly heard that the royal family ordered the wheat stalks to be uprooted, and they couldn't control their emotions for a while, so angry that they grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them on the platform, but they were soon caught by plainclothes soldiers in the crowd, tied up and taken away on the spot.

When the crowd was boiling, Gome pressed his hands to signal quiet, and then said sharply: "All these plans are going on in an orderly manner, the royal family has given us food, and we have cultivated blood essence grass for the royal family, protecting and supporting each other, which is the unshirkable responsibility of the people of the kingdom... But! ”

"On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, a south wind suddenly blew up, causing the granary to catch fire, which is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster!" Gomez looked behind the execution table with a look of anger on his face, "Bring the culprit out!" ”

Soon, two soldiers escorted a man bound in shackles to the execution table, none other than the new grain officer, Carey.

Kerry didn't have any expression on his face, just silently lowered his head and was at his mercy.

Gomez grimaced, walked behind Carrey, kicked him on the back of his knee, causing him to fall to his knees, and then faced the people, and shouted righteously: "The sudden change in the direction of the wind of the Dragon Fire Festival is indeed unexpected, but... Is it true that the grain officer who is in charge of guarding the granary has no responsibility at all? ”

"If the grain officer can do his duty and regularly maintain the fire prevention equipment, can the fireworks burn all the eight granaries? If the grain officer sticks to his post on the day of the Dragon Fire Festival, observes the movement of fireworks early, and organizes people to prevent fire in advance, it will lead to such a fire tragedy?! ”

Gomez walked up to Kerry, looked him in the eye, and asked hoarsely, "What were you doing on the night of the Dragonfire Festival?" ”

The crowd held their breath and stared at Kerry angrily, waiting for his answer.

Still with his head down, Carey said silently, "I was visiting a brothel that day. ”

After a short silence, all kinds of ugly angry scolding sounded, and Gomez also shouted angrily to the people: "Visiting a prostitute?!" The dignified grain official actually left his post on the night of the Dragon Fire Festival and lay in the arms of a woman, resulting in such a fire tragedy! When has Danyu City ever produced such an official?! ”

The people's angry scolding became even more turbulent, like a surging tide:

"Kill him! This kind of person can actually be an official, it is simply a shame for Danyu City! ”

"Dog officer! Kill you a hundred times and you won't get rid of your hatred! I'll kill your whole family! ”

"What do you want to give back the burned relief food?!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Chop off his head! ”

...

Torrential shouts converged from all directions, at first chaotic and at last slowly becoming unified, and all resentment and anger converged into the same word: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

Gomez opened his arms to comply with the will of the people, and said coldly in his mouth: "Kill." ”

The soldiers set up Kerry, pressed him to the guillotine, and hoisted the knife in the air, awaiting the final order for execution.

"Kid! Child! Suddenly, there was a cry in the crowd, and an old woman with a young girl in her arms struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, and rushed hoarsely towards the execution table.

Those who knew Carey knew that it was his mother and daughter.

The soldiers tried to stop, but Gomex motioned for them to get out of the way, and they stepped aside.

The old woman threw herself on Carey on the guillotine and cried out heartbreakingly, "Child... My baby... You have been smart and clever since you were a child, your mother is proud of you, and you also said that you want to do a great job for the kingdom, why do you do such a foolish thing..."

The little girl was too young, only two or three years old, and she didn't know what the device with the brake knife was, she trotted over and hugged Kerry, clumsily trying to help him untie the rope, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, you untie it, you are so uncomfortable... Cough! Ahem..."

As she spoke, the little girl covered her mouth with a handkerchief and began to cough violently, judging from the faint blood stains on the handkerchief and her pale complexion, she must have some serious illness.

Carey smiled softly, but didn't say anything, just lingered on the mother and daughter for the last time, then withdrew his gaze and led the neck to be punished.

Soon, the old woman and the little girl were forcibly taken down by the soldiers, and the cries and coughs and pantings faded away, drowned in the roars of the crowd: "Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”

As the execution was imminent, Kerry looked up at Gomer in front of him and said heavily, "Keep your promise, take care of my mother, and take my daughter to heal well." ”

Gome hummed expressionlessly, raised his hand, and waved it down in the air.

The guillotine's rope was severed, and the Snow Knife lunged at Kerry like a raging beast.

"Poof-" Blood splattered.
