Throne Steps

In this year's Melting Pot show, although all the characters are pseudonyms, when some characters appeared on the stage, the audience quickly guessed who they were.

Especially for the actor who was taken away as an experimental subject, he also recited fragments of Cervantes' diary written in documentary literature, almost shouting "I am Cervantes".

And reciting the adaptation of Farrell's poems, became an actress.She played the role of an alchemist who was forced to join the alchemy group. She worked in pain every day and tried every means to alleviate the pain of the experimental subjects.In order to make this role fuller, the script even arranges for the female alchemist to murder several test subjects with drugs without authorization, because she thinks that living in such pain is better than dying directly.Her last scene is reciting poems in a storm. When she said, "I am imprisoned in a dark cemetery, looking forward to the light, yearning infinitely", the building suddenly collapsed and pressed her down, as if a cemetery was given to her; Lightning illuminated the rainy night, like light suddenly piercing the darkness.

The poet Farrell sat down under the stage and watched this scene quietly.

He has seen the adaptation of the poem, and it is not satisfactory, and it lacks tension compared to the original idea.But after putting it into the script and adding the performance, it does have a more stage effect.Everyone has their own strengths, which is why Farrell agreed to this adaptation after careful consideration.

However, no matter how famous the work recited by the two actors is, it is not as impressive as the appearance of another character.

——The blond-haired and white-clothed actor appeared in a wheelchair!

This is the place where even Li Chen, who saw this setting for the first time, thought "fuck it". He appeared in a wheelchair. This arrangement definitely hinted at the fight between Saenz and his father!Those who know know it at a glance!

Sure enough, those who heard about the incident between Saenz and his father guessed the metaphor.Those who hadn't heard of it secretly frantically asked what it meant after the performance.

In fact, this setting was added by Saenz himself.

Showing weakness in business law is actually a way to make your image more full and vivid in front of the public.Today, when the image of pure white has been generally deified, the image of Saenz seems to be completely different in some parts.For example, although he is kind, he will not be soft-hearted; although he is holy, he will fight bloody battles with swords;It can be said that Saenz's current image is not so much a pure white, but an absolute manager who can make people willing to be ordered by him.At the same time, of course, he is a manager who cares about the public.

And a proper show of weakness will make people realize that he is also a human being after all, not a god who is too strong to fall down.When he is so weak, he still has to run for his friends and for justice, and he needs more help to realize these ambitions.

This incident seems to have an obvious tendency to blow, but it is subtle in a drama that is washed up and down, bloody and rainstorm alternately.

The show doesn't even have a perfect ending.At the end of the play, it is mentioned that there are still many illegal medicines and illegal cultivation bases in the alliance, calling on people to boycott together to avoid more sacrifices.

So the ending is soul-stirring, with a lingering heaviness.

At the end, the actors took their curtain call, and the audience gave them a standing ovation.Li Chen also stood up in the dark and clapped along with everyone.Standing next to him was a man who was exactly Saenz after drinking the "transformation potion".

Li Chen watched the actor who played the pure white color come forward to take a curtain call, and while everyone was cheering, he approached Saenz and said with a smile, "How does it feel to see someone else play himself?"

"Not bad." Saenz clapped his hands without turning his head, "but it doesn't seem to be as tense as the one playing Cervantes."

It just so happened that the actor who played Cervantes stepped forward to take a curtain call.

Li Chen twitched the corners of his mouth: "Could it be that you still want him to scream like Cervantes for the whole scene?"

Saenz said happily, "It's not like I haven't yelled on the battlefield before."

Li Chen secretly rolled his eyes: "I guess if Cervantes came to see the scene where the actor roared in person, he would have 'mixed feelings'."

"You think him too fragile." Saenz smiled. "Since he is willing to announce it in the book and put his image on the stage, he won't care too much about this over-interpretation."

You'd better let him see it in person before saying this... Li Chen glanced at Saenz, but decided not to argue with him, and concentrated on applauding.

After the game ended, Saenz saw him looking thoughtful, and asked directly, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking... How many political achievements are equal to one vote?"

Saenz didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Li Chen smiled: "I'm thinking about how many 'cultivation bases' we need to create for others to discover."

Saenz narrowed his eyes.

Because of the established plan, Li Chen has been thinking about who is the most suitable "strike" target in the meeting of ten people.

After choosing and choosing, he secretly took aim at the newly appointed justice.

This person is not a pure minister, nor is he absolutely neutral. He can become a judge who nominally represents "fairness and justice" mainly because everyone disagrees with each other's candidate under the tussle. Pick a character who isn't particularly biased on either side.

Of course, to be able to climb to the position of the ten-member court, it is absolutely impossible for this justice to be truly impartial.If he wants to secure his position among so many forces, what he needs most is "emotional intelligence."

Even if Li Chen came to sit, Li Chen didn't have the confidence to succeed.

However, even though the chief judge had reached such an important position, he still couldn't make a big splash.The reason is very simple, the characters selected by the various parties through mutual compromise must be the ones who are most severely restrained.Because he doesn't have a strong background, once he can't balance the relationship between the various parties, he will definitely be the first to take the blame and resign.

However, those who can climb to this position are definitely not without ambition.

Therefore, Li Chen planned to "send his head" to the newly appointed justice.

Saenz and his staff are also looking for a suitable candidate, but they are not yet conclusive.Saenz also has reservations about Li Chen's idea for the time being.

"He is indeed a neutral vote that can be drawn, but he is in this position now, and he will not easily favor one side." Saenz replied, "If I ask you, he will probably abstain."

Anyway, the law has no control over housework such as the replacement of the head of the family, and the justice can find an excuse to avoid it.

"It's not that he must vote for you." Li Chen shrugged, "Just let 'others' think that he will vote for you, isn't that all right?"

Saenz narrowed his eyes: "I said before, he won't easily cooperate with your plan, don't think of others as fools."

"The worst result is that he remains neutral, doesn't favor anyone, and finally abstains. If this is the case, why don't you give it a try?" Li Chen laughed. Tune 'ah."

"'Poll'?"

"Yeah." Li Chen nodded, "In short, I will inform you every step, and you can take it as much as you can."

Saenz smiled: "Why does it sound like you are directing my actions?"

"I'm just suggesting which card you want to play." Li Chen also smiled, "Aren't you the one who really makes the decision?"

In August, at the suggestion of the little prince, the king issued a wanted order, demanding that all illegal cultivation bases appearing in various places should be cleared up.Together with the mercenary union, the mission document of the mercenary group was issued, which will be valid for a long time.

It seems that the action is quite big, but in fact, they still dare not touch the field of "prohibited drugs".The list of prohibited drugs is actually a dead letter, and there are still things that should be in each big family. It is impossible to directly destroy any drug because it is on the list.The corresponding supply channels have also been completed. If you want to uproot these industrial chains, it can only be said that everyone is beyond their capabilities.And because those who produce these "prohibited drugs" can be regarded as illegal alchemy groups, the royal family dare not even issue orders to "eliminate illegal alchemy groups", and can only move the poisonous plant cultivation base that is too excessive on the surface.

Because the arrest warrant and mercenary mission documents came sooner than expected, Black Swan was really busy for a while.Fortunately, they had already prepared for the two cultivation bases in advance, so the first response was fired in a timely and loud manner.

Of course, this shot was not directly fired by the black swan, nor was it handed over to Yin Zhuzhise again, but followed the steps of the arrest warrant, starting from the magistrate to report layer by layer.The reporting process is not complete until the justice submits the payment application to the king, and the king's seal is stamped on the application.

But the crackdown has not yet begun, and the court has to issue a "deemed illegal" judgment and a payment order before the designated local security team can be dispatched to clear the payment.Well, the security team here is actually someone arranged by Saenz long ago, otherwise the settlement process would have to be tossed.Moreover, Saenz did not hide the matter of arranging people. He just wanted to let people know, let the justice himself know that he was acting in accordance with the justice's judgment.

But it's still not over here, because the people who originally managed the cultivation base will be sent to the judge for trial.

In fact, the mastermind originally wanted to cultivate poisonous plants on a small scale, but this year's production area suddenly grew well, and the wind was tight, so he was arrested.After thinking about it, he could only feel that his luck was bad, and then he pleaded guilty.

He would never have thought that his planting material supplier had changed, and he was given the most suitable planting material.A seed can grow on these nutrients, let alone a cultivation base managed by someone?

However, with the destruction of the cultivation base, these secrets were buried underground forever.

The judge publicly tried the owner of the cultivation base and several principal offenders, and sentenced them to the highest penalty of the Raetia League—hanging.

On the day of the public execution, the execution ground was full of spectators.They are still in the midst of the public opinion offensive caused by the literary association and the melting pot performance, and they are in the attitude of hating those who cultivate poisonous plants and manufacture banned drugs.When the prisoner was pressed to the execution rack, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves also flew, showing people's anger.

On the upper floors of the buildings around the execution ground, some windows were half open, and behind the windows was a nobleman watching with a small binoculars.

It was no secret among the nobility that watching executions was a form of entertainment.

Especially since the prisoners who were executed this time did not deserve to die, the nobles did not have to look at them in secret, some of them could even be seen from downstairs with their excited expressions.

Li Chen hid in the crowd, withdrew his gaze from those windows, and turned his gaze to the direction of the judge.

He personally came to direct the execution today.

In the anticipation of the people, he ordered in a majestic tone to execute the prisoner.

The black hood covered the head which was smashed by eggs and vegetable leaves, and also covered the prisoner's ashen face.The executioner checked the rope repeatedly, and then walked to the hand brake beside the wooden platform.

People quieted down, and a bird flew across the sky, bringing a crisp bird song.

Click - boom!

As the hand brake was pulled quickly, the boards under the feet of several prisoners sank suddenly, their bodies sank, and then they were tightly strangled by the strong ropes around their necks!

People watched this scene with wide eyes, as if they forgot to even blink.

A few minutes later, the doctor climbed onto the wooden platform, checked the pulses of several prisoners, and reported to the judge: "All the prisoners have been punished."

The justice nodded, and someone in the crowd suddenly started applauding, and then everyone clapped, cheered, whistled, and some expressed their gratitude to the justice.

Even some of the nobles watching from behind the window made applause gestures.

The justice looked at the jubilant crowd with a smile on his face.At this moment, he seemed to be the incarnation of justice, everyone supported him and supported him, and the depression in the past was swept away.The sense of accomplishment in his heart was uncontrollable, almost staining his eyes red.

Li Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd.
