When the prices in Port Moses fluctuated significantly, some people noticed that something was wrong; when the price of wheat with husks became unbearably high, some people decisively packed up their belongings and took their families to the countryside to escape. disaster.

Baron Zaka Norman's father moved away because of this. The old man hid early in the countryside far away from the city to live a clean life; as for the baron himself... this guy is just not worried about the precious collection at home. Scalp stays in the city.

People who are rich and have real estate in other places can hide out, but ordinary citizen families do not have such conditions; even those with low savings have to consider how long the family savings can last after they stop working and what happens after they go to other places Find the whereabouts of the family and other practical issues.

For example, the Rachel family, where both brothers have jobs and still have a part of the compensation money, did not consider whether to temporarily hide with relatives in Newing Town at the time.

Afterwards, as prices soared, materials entering and exiting Moses Port were deliberately blocked, and the money in the pockets became less and less, but the boat tickets were soaring...Even if the Rachel brothers had ideas, it was difficult for them to leave.

There are 30 people in Port Moses who were "welded" into the city because of temporary hesitation or various practical difficulties like the Rachel brothers.

Nearly two months of torment, day after day looking forward to the stability of the city but repeatedly failing, the accumulated pressure day after day, despair, irritability and other emotions... On this day, I finally found the outlet for release.

In another world time, July 1033, [-] in the new calendar, starting at [-]:[-] p.m., the tricycle convoys that appeared in various neighborhoods where residents concentrated and were open to supply all kinds of people's livelihood supplies in short supply were no longer the focus of the citizens of Moses Port.

Countless citizens walked out of their homes, gathered in the neighborhoods around their homes, and discussed everything they cared about; when a team of captured criminals escorted by the undead or the church passed by, these excited citizens seemed to be Like holding a street carnival, cheering and rushing to watch...

In order to let the residents of the city vent their long-standing emotions, Yang Qiu added an "extra reward" of "escorting the prisoners to parade through the streets every half hour" in the house raid mission sent to the players; in order to avoid excessive concentration of residents in the city Causing a stampede, Yang Qiu also specially planned a different route for each player team to do the task of raiding the streets...

This kind of "civilian NPC welcomes the master of the king" plot... The players don't have any opinions here, as long as there are rewards.

The Gold Coin Church has no opinion. For more than a month, countless citizens who have run out of food at home have been struggling to survive by going to the church to receive the "communion". The church has also spent a lot of money. Bishop Cromwell hid in prayer more than once The priests were also very happy to be able to personally detain the culprits who caused all this to eat slippers in the street.

The only thing that made the Church of Gold Coins a little upset was that the citizens did not dare to throw their slippers at the undead of the captured nobles and those once high-ranking gentlemen. The disaster of the fish in the pond...

This city-wide carnival lasted for more than two hours, and it didn't end until four o'clock in the afternoon-mainly because the players were tired of walking around the streets, and they were already impatient with "playing with NPCs".

At this time, Ms. Shirley, who took control of the city hall, had already vacated the site where the prisoners were temporarily held. On the one hand, she arranged for people to receive the prisoners, and on the other hand, she organized the operators to install loudspeakers in various blocks of the city.

The infrastructure of Moses Port is second to none among the Rhine cities (excluding the Royal City). Most of the residential blocks have gas pipelines and wires, and the horn installation is quite smooth, eliminating the need for arranging people to regularly carry hand-operated generators to generate electricity. .

In the early morning of the next day, the citizens of Moses Port, who rarely had a good night's sleep, woke up. The outdoor speakers installed in each block and the Tarantan radios purchased by some residents began to broadcast the news of the [-] nobles of Port Moses who were arrested yesterday. offense.

Again, it’s great to have a public trial in public, but the consequences of a stampede would be unimaginable if the crowds are so dense; It is not for the sake of ignoring public safety for a while.

The evidence collected by the Baroness and his wife in the early stage, the identification of Adela III, and the fresh confessions obtained during the overnight review; all of them added up, the crimes of the sixteen noble families were broadcast all morning, and even the announcers were rotated. many……

At the beginning, the citizens who were filled with righteous indignation and spontaneously gathered near the loudspeakers in each block were numb; from the excitement of the crowd, they wanted to rush into the city hall to drag out the nobles who were detained and trampled to death, and then slowly dispersed to go about their own affairs Son, keep only one ear to watch when the judgment comes out.

The new acting consul obviously knows what the citizens want to hear. Near noon, when the three-wheeled convoy selling all kinds of affordable livelihood supplies reappeared in various blocks, the "announcer" who had just been replaced on the loudspeaker was called The new city hall invited Ms. Karida, the prophet of the Gold Coin Church Tribunal well-known to the people of Moses Port, who was also a public trial judge (the original Port Moses judge followed the Otis family), and announced in her deep and powerful voice The trial results:

The noble titles of the sixteen families involved in the case were banned, and all property was seized and confiscated.

Including the warden of the prison, the officers of the national garrison, and the officials of the city police superintendent, among the sixteen noble families, all adult members of the clan who have conclusive evidence of crimes, heinous crimes, and serious violations of the constitution will be hanged tomorrow and hung on the city wall for three days to show the public .

The adult clansmen who were charged with relatively minor crimes that did not warrant death were detained together with the rest of the people involved in the case (thugs) and served their sentences in the western mountainous area of ​​Odisling.

Among the families involved in the case, minors under the age of 14 who have no major fault (no direct or indirect participation in the personal injury case and caused relatively serious consequences) will not be held accountable, and will be transferred from other territories to receive re-education arranged by the city hall.

As soon as the result of the trial came out, the whole city burst into cheers.

Brother Rachel, who stayed at home and listened to the trial, heard the fate of the "famous" aristocrats, and at the same time let out a long breath.

"Let me just say, Joey, the city hall will never let those guys go this time." Sapir said happily, "Commissioner John said yesterday that in order to calm the public anger in Port Moses, Mr. Yang and Shirley Ladies will make those bastards pay what they deserve."

Joey Rachel, who was still lying on the bed, nodded silently in admiration. This young man who was once favored by vampires disguised as members of the Leo family due to his outstanding ability and almost lost his life, after being abandoned by his former employer After more than a month of turmoil, the depression in my heart can only be relieved at this moment.

"Sapir, you don't have to stay with me anymore. Doesn't Operator John value you very much? Go and report to the operator." Joey waved his hand, "If you can get the contract from the city hall this time, don't missed."

"Okay." Sapir couldn't wait to get up, picked up the little hat placed by the bed, and said, "Brother, you can rest at ease for two days, and wait until you have any plans before you recover your body."

"I see, you go quickly." Joey urged.

Sapir strode out of the apartment, and Lisa poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the door closing: "Joy, why did Sapir leave, isn't he at home for lunch?"

"It's okay, the city hall will give them working meals." Joey lifted the quilt and got off the bed.

"Oh, why did you get up, lie down!" Lisa was startled, and hurried out of the kitchen, through the small living room and into the bedroom, trying to push her husband back, "Didn't Mr. Pastor say, You still need to rest."

"I'm fine, Lisa, I just want to get up and move around." Joey gently blocked his wife's hand and said firmly, "Go back to the kitchen and watch, don't waste the ingredients that Sapir brought back .”

Lisa let out a low cry, and hurried back into the kitchen.

Sapir helped Agent John for a long time yesterday, and brought back a lot of food—contract workers in the city hall already had a lot of food allowances, but because Sapir was only a "volunteer" and couldn't get a salary, he got a lot of food. Meal supplements are richer.

The wife quickly prepared the lunch, the couple filled their stomachs, and Joey asked Lisa to send the rest of the food to Lisa's parents' house.

"Don't worry, Sapir should be able to get some food back tonight." Joey comforted his embarrassed wife, and said, "You go, when I can move, I will also go to the city hall to meet you." With luck, our family will not be so embarrassed by then."

Lisa nodded gratefully, and went out with her basket; Joy, who stayed at home alone, sat for a while, then got up and turned on the radio, listening to the broadcast, while walking slowly in the small living room.

Not so long ago...Joy had thought of dying.

Without him, the young wife can still remarry, and the younger brother Sapir doesn't have to work so hard all the time.

But... In order to prolong his life and keep him alive, his wife Lisa and brother Sapir have paid too much, and Joey really can't selfishly end his own life.

But this kind of useless life is obviously not what Joey is willing to face - he has been better than others since he was a child, and he can learn advanced courses by himself with just a few years of experience in private classrooms. Obtaining the accounting certificate and getting an enviable good job, the proud Joey can hardly face the reality that he has become a burden.

Only now did Joey see a glimmer of hope.

The Undead regime paid more attention to Moses Port and the people of Moses Port than he imagined... Just to give the citizens an explanation, they did not hesitate to hang so many nobles.

A young man from a slum can become a respected cadre, and a woman in a red-light district who has been trampled on can become a high-ranking civil servant, or even act as a deputy to a consul. Then... a person like him should have the opportunity to be valued and reused, right? ?

Joey knew very well why the original employer didn't consider taking him away, saying that he was not healthy enough, but it was just a taboo that he had been targeted by vampires.

Vampires are too hidden to be discovered; even if Joey can ask the pastor, Mr. Kun Burt, to prove to him that he has never been accepted by vampires as a follower and that he is still a normal person, those nobles who are willing to die Don't worry.

No matter how talented and excellent Joey is, he can't change what has happened. He can't help but feel depressed.

And the current city hall gave Joey a glimmer of hope - the undead who can eliminate vampires are active in the city, and the governor of Port Moses will also be a wise undead wise man; such a city hall will never be taboo or disgusted , Reject someone like him who has been attacked by a vampire!

As long as there is a chance to get a job, Joey has the confidence to prove himself... All he needs is a chance!

On the second day after the skeleton ship docked, Moses Port was quite quiet except for the moment when the verdict was pronounced at noon, and the rest of the time was quite calm; the citizens who had just received normal supplies were still in disbelief that the chaos had been quelled so quickly. In the trance that came down, many people still need time to adapt slowly.

On the third day, it was announced on the radio that the 210 four death row prisoners had been hanged uniformly, and the city roared with joy again.

After his wife and younger brother went out, Joey, who was slightly inconvenient in mobility, quietly put on his coat, took the crutch prepared by his younger brother and left home; he moved slowly for more than an hour until he was sweating all over his body and his legs were hairy. Soft, his eyes dimmed for a while, and then he came to the gate of the west city with difficulty.

In front of the west city gate, on the free market square that every Rhine city has, many citizens who came from home to watch the excitement gathered and couldn't stay there.

Joey, who was standing at the edge of the square, leaning on the wall, saw from a distance the stiff corpses hanging under the city wall opposite the square, and saw the arrogant corpses who once swaggered through the city in pneumatic cars and luxury carriages. Looking down at the faces of all living beings, a smile unconsciously appeared on the face.

After admiring this unprecedented "magnificent scene", Joey turned around and slowly moved towards the house.

Moses Port in summer is very hot, the sky is cloudless and the sky is clear.

"The weather is so nice." Joey said with emotion.
