Good-looking, not allowed to farm

"Why are we revolting?"

Davis, the leader of the rebel army, stood tall on a stone and asked loudly.

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, but most of them had a look of respect and hope in their eyes.

"Because we want to live!" Davis said in a deep and powerful voice: "My teacher, the Mad Hatter, once said that there is a strange phenomenon in this country..."

In his reply, Jamie wrote sadly: "A group of wild beasts wandered back and forth on the almost barren fields to find something to eat, grass roots, bark, and even soil... They were burned by the scorching sun. , bent over, arched back, barefoot, with dark and rough skin, but when they straighten up, they can occasionally see a face of despair. Yes, they are beasts, and they are also people."

Davis recounted the above story, and his low voice gradually became heavy: "Why did this happen? Why do people become beasts? I have asked many people, but all told me that this is the inherent destiny From the day we were born, we were doomed to eat grass like sheep, toil like cows, and finally die like flies!"

Some people had tears in their eyes when they heard this.

Malcolm listened with relief; George quietly wiped his tears with his sleeve; Cheerful Ted and Davis' sister Anne stood together, the former was excited and excited; Looking at his brother, his face was full of pride.

"But are these real?"

Davis's voice suddenly rose, echoing across the empty field: "Are we born low, for this kind of life? Are we lazy and dirty, without a whip, and never work hard? Are we stupid Selfish, will you commit crimes at every turn? Nobles often say that, but is it true?"

Someone couldn't help shouting: "No!" "It's not true!"

In his reply, Jamie stated another strange phenomenon: "The common people undertake the hardest labor in this country, farming, producing and making non-stop every day...however, the royal family and nobles can always Take away all their achievements for various reasons, sometimes even leaving them with nothing to eat. In addition, there are various exorbitant taxes in this country that they have to pay. It is strange that the real rich nobles Often there is no need to pay taxes. How strange that the rich never contribute, and the poor keep giving what little they have!"

While recalling the content of Jamie's letter, Davis lamented extremely heavily: "Isn't this a different kind of robbery!"

"My countrymen!"

Filled with righteous indignation, he raised his arms and shouted: "Do you still think that this is your innate destiny? Do you still think that all this is taken for granted? You still have to be honest and do your best. Do you work and wait to be robbed of everything? Or, do you want to kneel down and kowtow, pleading with the nobles, begging them for a little something that was taken from you?"

"We don't!"

Everyone shouted in disorder below: "We don't want alms!" "Let the nobles die!" "Those bandits!"

So Davis paused until everyone was quiet again.

His eyes slowly swept over everyone: "So, now let's talk about why we rebelled? Because we just want to live, because we just want to live better! But we all know! In the royal family and the nobles Under the rule and exploitation of the tyranny, the people can only be brutally enslaved on the land forever, withered and dried up in the day-to-day toil, with no freedom, no happiness, and no equality! Do you want to continue to live this kind of life?"

"No! No!"

"So, we must revolt, we must overthrow the old system that belongs to the nobility, and rebuild a new system that belongs to our people!"

Everyone involuntarily began to push forward, wanting to listen to his speech verbatim.

There were also some people who showed a little fear and worry on their faces, but most of them had an excited, high-spirited, and even a glorious look on their faces!

"My fellow citizens, the time has come for change! The time for battle! The time for the people to rule!"

Davis shouted: "Let us remember the words of Mr. Mad Hatter-today the king rules the world, but tomorrow belongs to the people!"

The crowd burst into thunderous applause.

Everyone is cheering and shouting what tomorrow belongs to the people.

There were still tears in George's eyes: "Is this true? Can we really do it?"

Macomb said gently but firmly: "It's true, we can do it, as long as everyone works together."

At the same time, Wangcheng.

Jamie didn't know that one of his reply letters indirectly led to a classic speech.

Because of the Queen Mother's return; because of Earl Safir being 'poisoned'; and because of Lord Dressel's outburst...

Today's royal city is like a volcano about to erupt. Unspeakable chaos is gradually brewing inside, and the cracks all over the surface also emit billowing smoke.

Although no one knows when this outbreak will come, everyone has already felt the vague uneasiness and unknown fear.

That night, Jamie tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

It wasn't until early morning that he finally fell asleep for a short while, only to be awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

"My lord, it's on fire!"

An unfamiliar servant rushed in in panic to report.

Jamie was taken aback: "What? Fire! Where's the fire?"

The servant hurriedly replied: "It's the Dressel Mansion! The Dressel Mansion is on fire."

"Oh my God!" Jamie exclaimed subconsciously.

Then, while calling for someone to drive the horse over, he grabbed his coat and walked out.

A few more servants were woken up, and followed behind in a mess, with a flustered look like a headless chicken.

But Jamie didn't care about explaining to them. After he hurriedly mounted his horse, he rushed towards the Dressel Mansion.

But when he arrived at the place, the Dressel Mansion had already turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Some people stood on the side of the street and stared dumbfounded;

There are also some people who seem to want to get close to the fire, but their cheeks are hot from the fire, and they hesitate for a while...

Faced with such a fire, Jamie was also helpless.

He was so anxious that he arrested several people one after another and asked, "Where is Master Dressel? Did you see Master Dressel? Has Master Dressel escaped?"

But those people only gave him a bitter expression.

Another person who discovered the fire earlier said: "My lord, I didn't see anyone escaped! Oh, the fire is too big!"

Jamie was worried.

He asked people to go to Wangcheng Mounted Police for emergency help, and at the same time spent money to recruit people to fetch water and put out the fire...

After working so hard for a long time and dragging on for several hours, the fire was barely extinguished.

However, even if the fire is finally extinguished, the Dressel House is almost finished.

Destroyed walls, broken bricks and ruined tiles...

Jamie stood there blankly, very dazed in disbelief.

It would be untrue to say how much affection he has for Lord Dressel.

But a good acquaintance, who was fine a few days ago, was inexplicably buried in a sea of ​​fire today. No matter what, this is not a happy thing!

A few days later, Richard summoned Jamie.

His Majesty the king, who is very good at making small favors, said when he met him: "You are thin, Louis."

Jamie seemed surprised: "Well, I don't feel anything myself, Your Majesty."

King Richard said very gently: "In fact, I hope you haven't been too sad recently, my dear."

Jamie subconsciously moved his eyes away, pretending to be anxious: "I hope too, but... Your Majesty, you know, in just a few months, first Susanna, and then Father... I really... Sigh , can you understand me, Your Majesty?"

He raised his head and gave the king a very bleak smile: "It seems that bad luck has come to this family, sister, father, maybe it will be my turn next..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Louis."

King Richard immediately frowned and said: "There is no such thing as bad luck or bad luck, even if there is! I am the king of a country, as long as I am here, no bad luck will come to you."

Jamie hurriedly pretended to be touched, and thanked again and again.

So, King Richard grinned, regained his smiling expression, and then asked seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, Louise. Did Mr. Dressel leave anything... You know, in his study In fact, there are some documents related to the political affairs of the court..."

Jamie thought about the meaning of these words for a while, but on the surface he shook his head regretfully: "The whole house was burned down, and I'm afraid I can't find any documents."

A smile came to King Richard's eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and turned into a faint expression of regret: "There is no other way."

Then, after chatting for a few more words...

Jamie said goodbye and left.

When I was only out of the palace, I happened to run into Duke Henry.

The two were not familiar with each other on weekdays, but when they met now, they just looked at each other, nodded at each other, then staggered and went their separate ways.

"Louis looks a bit haggard..."

Duke Henry winked at King Richard solemnly: "I think His Majesty is a little distressed to see you."

King Richard gave him a surprised look, wondering what the restless brother was alluding to.

But he didn't want to tear himself apart with Henry for the time being, so he just said lightly: "He's been a little sad recently, but it will pass."

Duke Henry smiled and agreed: "Yes, everything will pass, just like Lord Dressel..."

King Richard never liked to bring dark things to the surface, especially if he said it so brazenly!

Therefore, he glanced at Henry with some disgust, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Then, they casually chatted about other things.

King Richard seemed to have forgotten all the allusions and temptations made by Duke Henry just now, and kept smiling from beginning to end.

But in fact, he didn't forget anything.

It's just that things have developed to this point, even if I really don't want to admit it...

But to this country, to this court, and even to these many courtiers!

This self-proclaimed dictatorial king finally gradually began to feel powerless.
