Chapter 195: Li Gen of the Practitioner
By the time the city defense force arrived at the Earl of Sford's manor, there were no more living people in the manor, and Earl of Sford had turned into a piece of minced meat that was not decently eaten.
The well-dressed city defense force surrounded the mansion of Count Sford. Captain Li Gen, the city defense officer in charge of Count Sford, looked at Count Sford who died in the front yard with a gloomy expression.
These bite marks are quite strange, like they were bitten by some kind of beast.
Captain Li Gen bent down, pulled out a dagger and flirted with Earl Sford's body. After lifting the burqa, the smell of feces and urine made him feel disgusted a few steps away.
Although the bite mark was done by some wild beast or dangerous species, he would rather believe that it was done by the Revolutionary Army.
The revolutionary army that had been hiding in the south suddenly came to Sford City in the east to cause trouble. Are they going to turn against the empire now?
As Captain Li Gen, who has real power under his command and controls the imperial economic city of Sford, the secret between the Empire and the Revolutionary Army is not a secret.
The Revolutionary Army has only appeared for a few years. If it were really an uprising army formed by some poor people to resist imperial oppression, how could it have formed nearly one million troops in a short period of time?
The Revolutionary Army is just an interest group composed of a group of ambitious people who want to reach the peak of power. With some high-sounding slogans, they will eventually follow the old path of the royal family.
"Captain! We found the badge pattern of the Revolutionary Army on the walls of the basement..." A soldier ran over and bowed to Captain Li Gen and said.
Li Gen just nodded in the end. There was no big change in expression on his face, and he had guessed it.
"Send the news to the imperial capital and then complete martial law will be strictly enforced for a few days."
"yes!"
...
The tragedy of Earl Sford's Earl's Manor completely awakened all the rich businessmen and nobles who escaped the disaster in Sford's city.
The next morning, I personally came to the administrative center of Sford City inquiry. I didn’t know if I didn’t listen. I was shocked when I heard it!
According to statistics, all the wealthy merchants and nobles who could be named in Sford City died in the manor, and their bodies were missing.
The worst was that the nominal ruler of Sford City Earl Sford, not only his immediate family, but also his guards and servants died tragically in the manor. Some people used their connections to see Earl Sford's body and couldn't help but breathe.
They came curiously and returned tremblingly. All the little nobles and rich businessmen restrained their behavior and did not even dare to go out.
Although the city is still operating normally, the number of city defense forces patrolling the streets has increased significantly. The death of Count Sford was spread by unknown people. Now everyone in the city knows that Sford City has no lords.
Adventurers who cannot go out to hunt are particularly happy to eat this big melon, and they will bring out the news and chat while drinking and having fun.
Earl Sford has a bad reputation on weekdays and often forces some beautiful women in the city. No matter how old he is, as long as he is attracted to him, he will be forcibly taken away by his guards.
Except for a small number of people, almost no one knew the fate of these poor women who were brought to the Earl Sford's estate.
Now that Count Sford is dead, some people are happy!
Listening to the discussions about the death of Earl Sford in the tavern, Levi put down the money and left slowly like a drunkard.
When people leaped into the unmanned alley, they changed their appearance again when they came out again.
Although it was impossible to understand in depth how difficult the lives of the people at the bottom of the empire were, on the surface, it can be summarized as: they can still live.
Civilians cannot say how good they are, but they can basically survive in Sford City, but they often hear incidents of nobles oppressing civilians and wealthy businessmen beating slaves to death.
Li Wei, who grew up in a socialist environment with characteristics, always felt that this was not what the world should have been like.
Just like two bookcases with the same books... I am used to the way it looks on my bookshelf, and suddenly I see another book in a mess, and I want to place these books in the same way I am used to.
The hands are itchy, like just straightening the world.
The imperial instrument is like being stuck in the key to the development of civilization. Productivity cannot be improved, and the labor force can only work in a daze in a fixed position. A small group of people at the top of the pyramid can trample everyone at the bottom of the pyramid.
The key problem is that these magical weapons and equipment of Emperors and Ministers!
The investigation of the empire came to an end again. Li Wei had not yet decided whether to force the empire to correct it. His original intention was to travel. The energy of the key to travel through the next world was always full, and the second progress bar was slowly replenishing. If he wanted to leave, he would be relaxed.
Li Wei came to the West Street, which had been patrolling and guarding a lot, and was about to take away his customized clothes. He saw a pair of injured men with hemp ropes running past him on the street. Behind him was a group of thugs in leather armor, and all kinds of scolding resounded throughout the West Street.
A group of passing city defense forces next to him walked slowly as if they hadn't seen this scene, and picked up a few apples from a fresh fruit stall. The owner of the fruit shop could only laugh.
Such a scene is very common and most people are used to it, but Li Wei only looks very twisted.
The slave was caught and beaten in the street. Because the city defense force ate insects on the apple, he came back and directly overturned the fruit store stall and broke his fruit.
People here show a kind of numbness, numbness to life, and numbness to injustice.
Li Wei entered the garment shop, slowly got the new clothes he needed with the notes, and then turned around and went out, he was surrounded by a large number of city defense forces.
The street was empty, and the moment Li Wei stepped out of the door of the garment store, the door behind him was closed.
In front of him, a group of city defense soldiers holding long swords looked at him with murderous intent, with hundreds of them.
Captain Li Gen walked out of many subordinates, then looked at Li Wei, carrying a big cloth bag, and said with a chuckling: "I didn't expect you to dare to come back. The imperial intelligence agency is not as corrupt as the royal family."
Faced with the encirclement of the large group of guards in the city, Li Wei was still very calm and did not feel any fear because of the swords in the hands of these people.
In Li Gen's opinion, this scene was undoubtedly a contempt for him. His expression suddenly became gloomy and said to Li Wei who was looking at him: "This place has been surrounded by two thousand soldiers. Do you think you can escape? I admit that your disguise skills are indeed very exquisite, but what you should do the least is to return here and take the torn clothes you bought under the eyes of our spies."
On the next day, he had already guessed that Li Wei might have disguise skills, and he also knew from the guards at the city gate that a second lancet who wanted to talk to them entered the city. After conducting a large-scale investigation based on the description, there was no man who met the requirements.
Li Gen is not like some of the people in the imperial capital who only know how to collect money. Although he also charges money, these are the money he collects based on his ability!
