Gold is Justice

After the words fell, Ariel turned her head again, and shouted loudly to everyone present——

"I also assure you! In Pelican City, there will never be a scene where the richest people sing and sing all day and night, but the poorest people can only curl up next to the stinky ditch waiting to die! I may not be able to make it so Pelican City has become extremely rich, but I can still ensure that everyone here has a bite to eat!"

"But we don't just want to have a full meal! I want to do more and make our city stronger!"

"But these things are not something I can do alone. To be more precise, I need craftsmen to help expand the city, and workers to work in factories! I need children to study hard, farmers to plant fields, and All of them doing their jobs!"

"I need everyone, I need everyone's help... No, it should be said that only if everyone works together, only if everyone works together, can we create a world where no one will ever go hungry, and no one will be unable to survive. City! Only with everyone in Pelican City can that future come!”

The mayor's voice was crisp and leisurely.

Although it can't be called how loud, it can't be called how imposing.

However, there seems to be some kind of extremely powerful power contained in this small body!In the face of this force, even the most powerful brave seems to be dwarfed by comparison.

Accompanied by the mayor's promise, whether it is citizens, prisoners, or family members present.

No one will doubt whether the mayor's words are correct, whether she is exaggerating.

Some people even vaguely began to feel that even if Pelican City really couldn't afford a bite of food in the end, this mayor was worth following.

After all, there has never been any lord or noble who dared to promise to give everyone a bite of food in front of so many people... Instead of thinking that those ordinary people who were about to starve to death were very annoying, when they were about to starve to death Sometimes the guards were summoned to drive them away.

The world may not really be perfect.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, there are many sinister places in this world after all.

But...as a human being, as a human being...

Perhaps they are really willing to believe that in this world, there will be such a goal that is truly worth pursuing...

Ariel raised her head and looked around at everyone here again.

Afterwards, she slowly retracted her gaze, stretched out her hand, and gently put it on the shoulder of Judas who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly——

"So, don't worry."

Whoa- whoa-

The rain that had been stalemate for a long time finally fell at this moment.

In this scorching summer, these cool thunderstorms bring people a feeling of refreshing and soothing.

The rain began to increase gradually and began to spread to the center of the entire square.

People began to raise their hands to cover their heads one after another, and some took out the umbrellas they had prepared to cover their heads, to make room for themselves for a moment.

It's just that no matter whether they are holding umbrellas or not, there is still no citizen leaving here.Everyone is still watching this trial, the mayor, and the future of Pelican City...

Watching here, what kind of result will it develop into.

Ariel took a breath slowly, and beside her, Margaux had already taken out the umbrella she had prepared long ago and opened it, propping it up beside Ariel.

Ariel looked at the prisoners who were all kneeling on the field again, and said slowly——

"That's all I said. Whether you believe it or not, I will continue to do so."

Immediately, Ariel turned her head, looked at the trial seat over there, and said, "Three judges, after announcing the death penalty, how long will it take to execute it?"

The Suta on the trial seat slowed down, and said: "The next day. In other words, we will execute tomorrow. But...we haven't decided on the location of the execution yet. Do we still want to operate here?"

The one-eyed man next to him stretched out his hand to slightly block the rainwater falling on his hair, and said, "I think it's okay. If this is the case, a execution ground will be built here tomorrow. Hey, you fellows below, congratulations, you are about to become The city's first death row inmates."

Faced with the vampire's half-threatening, half-joking words, the expressions of the death row prisoners below were even worse.Their family members burst into tears again, and some even fainted from crying.

But at this time, Tangerine next to him said——

"Ariel, are you really determined to use that method?"

With her hands behind her back, Ariel still looked at the crying prisoners in front of her, and said slowly: "Yes, since we have agreed before, then I will definitely implement it in this way."

Having said that, Ariel exhaled slowly, raised her head, looked at everyone present, and said again: "As you all know, tomorrow, we will carry out the execution of prisoners. However, there is no It's not an execution ground, and I don't want this to be an execution ground. Therefore, there is nothing to see in this execution ground, so please stop speculating."

"Now, it's raining heavily, please go back as soon as possible, don't get wet and catch a cold."

"As for the rest of the prisoners who are not worthy of the death penalty, you all go back to the warehouse now. Next, due to time constraints, our three judges in Pelican City will sentence you one by one in the warehouse to determine your Punishment. Before that, just wait."

After the words fell, the mayor clapped his hands again, and ended the meeting with a simple and clear word——

"Now, the meeting is over!"

----

a hut.

An ordinary hut with element lights on.

Some simple flowers and plants are decorated on the walls, and furniture for daily use is placed in the corner.

Generally speaking, the bright yellow decoration gives people a very comfortable feeling. If the windows next to it are not sealed tightly, I believe this place will be a very warm "home".

There is a sumptuous dinner on the table.

It was a whole roast chicken, and roast potatoes, with a big bottle of milk and a little rosemary.

At this moment, these dishes are exuding a fragrant smell, which makes people move their index fingers.If you change it to any normal time, it will give people a feeling of wanting to eat as soon as possible.

A jar of incense was placed in the corner of the room, exuding waves of soothing fragrance.

And with the opening of the door of this room, after only a slight fluctuation in the fragrance here, it regained its original richness and warmth, burning quietly.

It was Judas who entered.

He slowly took off the hat on his head, looking at everything arranged in this room of about [-] square meters, he couldn't help being filled with emotion for a while.

The death row inmate sniffled slightly, turned his head, and looked at his wife and children behind him.A few seconds later, he couldn't help it again, and stepped forward to hug his wife and child tightly. "Dad... Dad, where will you... tomorrow? I... I can't breathe..."

The young child was a little out of breath from being hugged, and cried out.

Judas quickly let go, looked at his son, squatted down, nodded with a crying voice, and said, "Father will be away for a while...after tonight is over, he will be away for a long...a long time... You are already a little man, so you must...you must take good care of your mother, you know?"

The son's eyes were dazed. With this dullness, he still looked at his father and said, "Dad, where are you going? How long will you be back?"

At this moment, Judas' eyes were moist again, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he stopped talking.

On the contrary, his wife is holding back tears now, and forced a wry smile from the corner of her mouth, pulling her child and saying: "Don't disturb Dad, Dad is going to a very far~~~ very far away... Husband , shall we eat first? Look...there are so many delicious things here..."

With his wife's kindness, Judas quickly wiped away his tears and nodded.

At this time, the family of three came to sit down at the dinner table filled with dinner.

As a child born in hardship since childhood, this little guy doesn't seem to know what this meal really means.Seeing so many things on the table that he had never eaten before, he cheered happily for a while.He didn't care about his dirty hands, and was about to pull a chicken leg, but his mother clapped his hands to stop him.

"Such dirty hands, don't move around, mom will help you."

The women tore off the drumsticks and put them in the children's hands.The child happily ate the chicken leg, but the delicious food made his mouth full of oil.

It's just that the wife doesn't have much heart to take care of her child now, she slowly tore off another chicken leg and handed it to her husband.

"You... you eat... eat better... eat more... before... when we were married... we could only eat... such delicious things..."

Judas took the chicken leg from his wife, and smelling the fragrance wafting from it, he couldn't hold back his tears again, and burst out of his eyes.

But when he saw his son staring blankly over there, the death row inmate quickly wiped away his tears, took a bite of the chicken leg, and said while chewing, "It's delicious...it's really delicious...wow... ...such delicious food...wife...you eat too...eat..."

The wife didn't speak, she just lowered her head, continued to patiently separate the roast chicken, and then moved it little by little in front of her husband and son.Then she poured them a glass of milk and sobbed.

"Your Honor...you have already told me..."

The wife touched her nose and said——

"I can only stay here...with you for two hours...then...tomorrow afternoon...I will lead you..."

The corner of Judas' mouth was also twitching.He slowly put down the chicken leg in his hand, seeing his wife's sad look, suddenly felt that he should do something, and said——

"Don't worry...you don't worry, wife...the judge said, I won't...haha...I won't feel pain..."

He raised his hand, patted his chest vigorously, and said as if trying to muster up his courage——

"Your Honor said, tomorrow... I will be in this room, lying on that warm bed over there. They... They will give me a drink made by the flower fairy. The taste of the drink will definitely not be bad Drink it, after drinking it, I will feel more and more sleepy, and finally fall asleep! Haha... just count it... just count it as sleepy... it's as simple as sleeping... I just slept for a while I feel...that's all..."

The chest that had just been raised was slowly lowered again with his words.

Judas looked at the food in front of him, wiped his nose again, and said——

"After I knew that I would be sentenced to death... what I was most worried about was that I would be paraded through the streets..."

"Or, I will be hung from a tree, or tied to a post, and blindfolded."

"Honey, do you remember the execution ground we saw before? Our lord wants to execute the thief who stole his jewelry, and then let us all go and watch... Haha, think about it now, what the thief looked like It's really funny..."

The wife also quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes! The thief was so nervous that he kept shouting when he was pushed to the ground... Then, the lord began to read his crimes, and finally when the thief's When the head was cut off, the lord hung his head at the gate of our village to remind everyone..."

Judas nodded, and said: "So... this time, when I know, I won't be paraded in the streets, I won't even be beheaded, my head will be hung, and even the coffin... the mayor has already prepared for me When it was all right...I suddenly felt..."

"Even if it's death...by the hands of the mayor...it seems a little more comfortable..."

The husband and wife looked at each other.

Under the warm light and the fragrant food aroma, it was as beautiful and charming as their first wedding night.But under this warm light, the tears of the two people still rolled down involuntarily.

The wife quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes, put on a smile again, and said, "Let's... let's not talk about this! Let's talk about other things! Let's talk about... how about my work...?"

Judas was slightly taken aback, and there was some doubt in his tearful eyes: "Work...? What work?"

The wife sniffed, tried to force a smile, and said, "I want to be... a female worker in a textile factory. Those machines... the mayor said that Pelican City... still needs a lot of workers ... Although her elemental machine can produce a large amount of cloth, but ... this kind of machine cannot weave too complicated clothes."

"So... so... I'm going to learn to use some... small looms like many other women workers. The looms are very similar to the ones we used before... but it seems to be modified a little... so that we can do faster."

"Next, I will be a female worker... I only need to work ten hours a day, take six days off and one day off, and have a good salary... After I finish my studies, I can participate in these jobs..."

"Honey, although the next days seem to be a little bit bitter, I feel...compared to the previous feeling of not knowing if there will be food, lying down every day and not knowing whether I will be able to get up the next day That kind of life... this kind of life is indeed a little better... right?"

Judas wiped the tip of his nose and nodded silently.

The husband and wife chatted without saying a word.

They began to recall the few happy moments in their poor life in the past, thought of their parents, and talked about the cow rented from the noble family.

The cow had a very good relationship with them, and for quite a long time, it almost became their No.4 family member.The cow also witnessed the birth of their child, as if everything was so happy.

However, it won't be long before Judas can't afford to rent cattle.In an unfortunate disaster, his parents died unfortunately, and the family's field could not help but be pawned and sold to the nobles, and the cattle were also returned.
