Become the city lord from today
Chapter 469
Early in the morning, it is a new beginning of the day. The noise and chaos of yesterday are covered up in the night, leaving only a few things to talk about.
"Did you hear it last night? Patrol police were dispatched in large numbers. I heard that traffickers were sneaking in to arrest people."
"Those damn human traffickers are so abominable. They still want to come to Xiyang City to catch people. They deserve to be caught."
"Yes, I heard that several girls and boys were captured. If the city lord hadn’t sent patrolmen to rescue them, they might have been captured and sold."
"……"
Gaba walked on the road, listening to the chatter in her ears, which told her that the patrol police captured human traffickers yesterday. No wonder there was blood. It would be best for all of those inhumane guys to die.
If the Security Department hadn't been recruiting people, she would have signed up a long time ago just to deal with human traffickers. Several of her former companions were captured by human traffickers.
"Come on, get in line and get ready to get paid."
There was a shout from the side, which made Gaba, who was deep in thought, come to her senses and quickly walked to the workshop.
Today is the end of the month, the day when salaries are paid, and it is also the happiest day for everyone. She is thinking about what to do next. My sister went to see the new house, and then went to have a good meal on the first floor of Zuixiao Building.
Gaba quickly arrived at the weaving shop, and there was already a long queue in front of it. She quickly lined up because she came quite late today. , nearly a hundred people were queuing in front.
As time passed slowly, it was soon Gaba's turn to receive her salary. She looked at the person in front of her in surprise. This time, it was the clerk Bav who came to pay the salary for the weaving workshop.
Buff was writing in the notebook and asked without raising his head,"No., name?""
"Number seventeen, Gaba."Gaba said quickly
"No. 17……"Buff flipped through his notepad and soon found Gaba No. 17. He muttered in surprise,"The monthly salary is eighty copper coins. There is no record of asking for leave. The personal output of No. 5 Weaving Workshop ranks second, and the reward is twenty 1 copper coin, plus 20 additional bolts of linen, with each bolt receiving a copper coin, for a total of 120 copper coins."
"right."Gaba responded quickly. She had calculated her own values this morning, but being ranked among the top two in the weaving workshop was beyond her expectation.
"You are fine."Buff looked up at Gaba and praised,"Keep working hard."
"thanks, I will."Gaba nodded seriously, her brown eyes full of joy. The second-ranked salary was ten copper coins more than her third-ranked salary last month.
"Here, here's your salary."Buff opened the drawer and took out a red paper bag. The salary inside was prepared in advance and was given to him by the city lord's palace. I heard that Miss Nicole was in charge.
"good."Gaba took the paper bag, gently tore open the mouth of the paper bag, poured out the copper coins and counted them. This is the requirement of the workshop. Everything is counted in person.
"Is the quantity correct?"Buff's pen stopped on
"Yes, one hundred and twenty."Gaba nodded affirmatively and quickly moved out of the way to the next person in line.
"OK."Buff ticked the number seventeen and shouted to the person in front of him,"Number, name"
"No. 29……"
Gaba saluted Buff, hid the copper coins close to her body, and walked briskly outside the weaving workshop. She was going to pick up her sister and then look for a new house. She just happened to return the old house.
"Come on, something happened over there in the square."
"ah? What's going on? Is there anything the city lord has to announce?"
"No, I heard it’s about human traffickers"
"……"
After hearing this, Gaba also quickened her pace and walked towards the square, which was the square in front of the castle. It was the way to go anyway.
When she arrived at the square, she found that thousands of people had gathered here. She estimated that most of the people in Xiyang City were here. With her height of two meters, she could easily see the place in front of her.
"Huh? The gallows? Could it be?"Gaba's face was slightly condensed. She guessed that the human traffickers were going to be tried.
She frowned and thought, and decided not to go home for the time being. She would see the fate of the traffickers here. Her sister didn't like to see such a scene either.
Time came to eight At half past o'clock, the sun was high in the sky, and six to seven thousand people had gathered around the square. Except for some people who couldn't leave, most of them were here.
"Here we come, the Lord of the City is here."The crowd made noises and there was a commotion. Many people crowded forward and wanted to see the Lord of the City.
"Well……"Gaba was helpless. She looked down at the girls next to her and squeezed forward excitedly. The enthusiastic look made her smile bitterly.
She looked up and saw a group of knights running out in the direction of the castle, separating the crowd to form a road. Stepping out from behind was the Lord of the City, Captain Tis, Miss Mina, and so on.
Liu Feng smiled lightly and nodded to the civilians around him, and walked towards the high platform that had been prepared. Today, the traffickers will be interrogated. The interrogation took place all night last night. After getting the information you want, let the main criminal die, otherwise it will be a waste of food.. As for other personnel, let's go mining. Coal mines and iron mines are in short supply.
"Bring everyone here."Liu Feng turned to Mina and said, scanning the people in front of him. Today's trial will not only win over the people's hearts, but also eliminate the potential problems of the free people.
"yes."Mina responded respectfully and waved in one direction. Immediately, patrolmen escorted more than a dozen people to the gallows.
"Kneel down."Axe personally escorted Steward Chi, made him kneel on the gallows, and then pulled off his hood, revealing a horrified face.
Steward Chi's eyes were bloodshot. This was the result of the interrogation by War Wolf yesterday night. The marks on his hands were His fingernails had been picked up five or six times before he couldn't resist telling the information about the Black Iris organization.
For some reason, he felt a little relieved now that he didn't have to go back to that dark and scary place.
"Huh? Isn't that Mr. Chi? How did he end up on the gallows?"A voice of astonishment rang out from the crowd.
"Yes, did he commit something?"
"How big of a crime is this? He actually wanted to be sent to the gallows. Fortunately, I wasn't familiar with him."
The businessmen who knew Steward Chi all started talking about it.
In the crowd, Tori held a bun in his mouth and stared blankly at Steward Chi on the gallows. Yesterday, he watched a shadow puppet show with him. Will he go to the gallows today?
What was the crime?
