I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Collins is a figure in Salt Marsh Town, and Hubble, a big villain, is more or less honored as a civil official, Collins is rampant in Salt Marsh Town with his fists and face, yes, he is the villain in Salt Marsh Town who is second only to Hubble in the degree of scourge to the people.

Collins has been in a good mood for the past two days, the day before yesterday he extorted five gold coins from a merchant, in addition to the one given to Hubble, there are more than half left, and the day before yesterday he successfully captured the heart of a nobleman's widow, for the past two days, he has been lying in the gentle country all day long, venting his recklessness to the fullest, not to mention, the hungry woman eats this set.

After two days of tossing and turning, Collins was tired of it, and for him, it was more enjoyable to walk around the streets of Salt Marsh Town, enjoying those respectful or fearful glances, and whenever this happened, Collins felt that he was simply the god of Salt Marsh, and of course, this feeling subsided a little when he saw Hubble.

Collins walked slowly down a narrow alley, and there was a constant commotion in his ears, not far away, as if someone was making a commotion or a fight.

As soon as Collins thought of this, he laughed, and he wished that there was some noise and fighting in the street, in that case, he only had to stand to the side, and naturally someone would respectfully come forward and ask him to administer justice, in that case, he would have wine, meat, money, and face.

Collins involuntarily quickened his pace, knowing that there were not a few people in the town who ate his business, and besides, maybe his little scoundrel henchmen had already taken over the work for him, and were waiting for him to be there.

Stepping out of the alley, Collins bumped into four people, two men and two women, and when he looked up, he was quite kind-faced, so he stopped and thought about where he had met or blackmailed, and if it was the latter, he didn't mind opening it immediately.

The men also stopped, and looked at Collins with a look in their eyes that seemed to be a little tangled......

Collins suddenly wondered, and said to himself, "What's wrong with these guys today? I didn't recognize them, they should recognize me too? If that's the case, how dare they stand in such a big way? Could it be that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?"

"Hey, I said ......" Collins stretched out his hand and pointed to the woman on the far left, although the woman's face was dark and rough, but she was still a little more beautiful, which was much stronger than the widow of the half-old these nights.

As soon as Collins blurted out his words, he retracted, because the four people in front of him were all in a fierce light, and they pounced on them regardless of it, and that posture seemed to be desperate.

"I'll go!" Collins hurriedly stepped back as he reached into his arms and touched the dagger, but the woman moved faster than him, and stabbed Collins with a dung fork that he had picked up from nowhere, and the force was so accurate that even the best gladiators in the Assyrian arena ......

outCollins clutched his lower abdomen and fell, and the silver-inlaid dagger in his arms fell to the ground, and before he could groan, a hemp rope was wrapped around him, and that's not all, the dung fork that had knocked him down was still stabbing him, and there seemed to be a rotten wooden scoop or a laundry mallet or something, which struck him on the neck and head from time to time, making his head groggy as if he had drunk too much.

Before Collins fainted completely, he heard the words like this—

"Hurry up, tie his face with his clothes, lest someone else rob him......" The voice seemed to be the woman.

I was robbed of my own turf? Collins had just finished thinking about it when it was dark in front of him, and then he couldn't hear anything.

When Collins woke up, he found himself kneeling in a courtyard, drenched and drenched, and even the ground beside him was drenched in water, apparently awakened by someone drenching in water.

Collins fixed his gaze, and five or six paces in front of him, a handsome young man sat on a large wooden chair with a frosty face, and beside him, another young man stood and looked at him with a playful gaze.

Looking around again, there were people standing on both sides of the courtyard, and there were several ...... who were tied up by flowers

How could I be at the Consulate? What's the situation? Is it the day of the mass kidnapping? Collins still had a groggy head, but he still recognized the place.

Woolley narrowed his eyes and asked the woman standing behind Collins, "Is he Collins?" "

Yes, Lord Archon, everyone can testify. The woman grabbed Collins by the hair and pulled it up, "My lord, please look at it, it's like a fake." "

Lord Archon, Collins is a big villain, can you ......" The middle-aged man next to the woman was a little embarrassed.

Wu Lai nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, it's me who didn't think about it, I can't generalize, everyone is so enthusiastic, I can't sweep everyone's interest, Collins's reward is doubled, and the number of canes is doubled." "

Your Excellency is wise!" the woman and the others suddenly smiled, they had planned to give it a try, but they didn't think it would work, and this time their income doubled, and each of them could get ten silver coins, which could buy a lot of things.

"Someone!" Woolley waved his hand, "Pull this Collins aside, and serve him with forty lashes

!" "My lord, my lord!" Collins could not care about thinking about how this stinky boy in front of him could be an archon, "Why is their reward doubled, and my cane

doubled?" "Why? Woolley glared at Collins and raised his voice, "Five more lashes

!" "Why?" Collins was stunned, and said in his heart

, "Why do you want to beat me to death?" "Because you talk back!" Woolley snorted coldly and made a gesture with his hand

, "Next!" "My lord!" Collins was about to beg for mercy first, when a voice suddenly came from behind him——" Honorable Archon, this Edward we captured, but the thief leader of Salt Marsh Town, do you think you can reward him with a few more whips?"

Collins was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn around to see that the guy with his head tilted and pale face and bad luck was not Edward......

What is the situation? The sky has changed in Salt Marsh? As soon as this thought flashed through Collins's mind, the three soldiers in charge of the flogging had already put a rope around his neck, so that Collins naturally had to be obedient ......

Collins was right, Salt Marsh was about to change, no, it was already changing.

It has only been half a day, and there is not a single thief, thief, or scoundrel walking in the streets and alleys of Salt Marsh Town, and those who were lucky not to be caught in the first wave of public arrests have hid, and the doors are closed.

But to no avail, the people, who have already tasted the taste of collective action, are now less eager for reward, and what they think about the most is how to toss back what they had been tossed by these guys, so they storm the homes of thieves, thieves, and scoundrels in droves, smashing doors and windows, and digging three feet into the ground to find them out.

After digging it out, it was naturally tied up tightly, and then as usual, he chose a place with thick flesh and thick skin to beat him for a good time, and then sent it to the consul's mansion to receive the reward, and he was not in a hurry to leave when he got it, and he had to see that the guy he had captured with his own hands was beaten to the point that the flesh was broken and the blood flowed all over his buttocks to be satisfied.

In the evening, the first phase of Operation Street Cleanup exceeded Woolley's expectations - except for a few clever guys who saw that the momentum was not right and escaped from Salt Marsh Town early, the rest were all caught, and the dungeon of the mansion was so overcrowded that there was almost no place to stretch out.

"Woolley, what are you going to do with these guys next?" asked Gruul.

"Trial, trial to the end. Woolley replied vaguely as he stuffed bread into his mouth, "After a day of sitting, he was majestic, but now he was hungry and tired.

"Do you judge yourself?" asked Gruul as he cut bread for him.

Wu Lai shook his head: "No, I took a fancy to four people from the soldiers of the People's Protectorate today, two by two, let's try them separately." "

Is it reliable?" Guru frowned, the soldiers of the People's Protector Army were under Henry's men, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be swayed by Henry.

"It should be fine. "You may not have noticed that the four guys I chose were all beaten to death when they were whipped, and I almost thought that the beaten guy had done something to his wife."

Gruul sneered, "That's how you describe it, but also, their actions at least show that they don't have a good opinion of these guys."

"That's just one of them. Woolley said, "Salt Marsh Town has been troubled internally and externally for a long time, if you want to cure both the symptoms and the root causes, you have to play ruthlessly with them, and these four people I have selected have the potential to be cool officials, and it is just right to use them to deal with these thieves and scoundrels." "

I see. Guru nodded, El on the side hesitated, and couldn't help but whisper: "Young master, what about those private prostitutes?"

This is not Erdo's business, today all the people are soldiers, but not all people know what is going on at the beginning, so not only the thieves and scoundrels were arrested, but even the private prostitutes were sent a dozen or so, speaking of which, it has to be counted on Henry's head, if he hadn't caught two private prostitutes first and wanted to fool Wu Lai, these private prostitutes would not have been frightened.

At this time, these dozen or so prostitutes have not been let go, they are all crowded in the kitchen to eat, Wu Lai does not let go, and no one dares to make decisions on their own.

Woolley frowned, prostitution was the norm in the Assyrian territory, and no consul would care about this, because prostitution usually did not have any negative impact on the management of the territory, or something had to be found, that is, prostitution did not pay taxes - in the Assyrian territory, there were many categories of taxes and fees, which can basically be understood as "there are transactions and taxes".

Wu Lai felt very embarrassed, the reason why private prostitutes are private prostitution is naturally because they always have one reason or another and don't want to show their heads too much, if they are allowed to turn from underground to public, they will definitely not be happy, if it is strictly forbidden to appear, it is reasonable and unreasonable.

But if you don't ask, it will inevitably give the people a wrong guidance, and maybe more and more women will join the ranks of prostitution, which is what Woolley doesn't want to see, he doesn't want the salt marsh town, which is famous for its salt industry, to change its door and become a zone where the sex industry is concentrated, which will undoubtedly make him very shameless.

"It's really hard to do. Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head, for a while, he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Gruul was frowning, he knew what Woolley was embarrassed about, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Er hesitated for a moment and said: "Young master, I see that many of these private prostitutes are good looking, and the young master also said on the road that he wants to build Salt Marsh Town into a place where there is an endless stream of merchants, I think, can we train them to become singers and dancers, so that they can no longer be prostitutes, and have income."

"That's right. Wu Lai slapped his thigh and couldn't help but give Elshu a thumbs up, "Elle is very smart, you have a good idea, think about it more, after thinking about it a little more specifically, I will leave this matter to you."

Guru's eyes on the side also lit up, the mention of singers and dancers is good, although there are never these two professions at the town level, but in the city, singers and dancers, they are all legitimate occupations, and if the salt marsh town is prosperous, their income will definitely be much more than being prostitutes.

While the three of them were having dinner, Henry was drinking sullen wine, but fortunately, he finally had Tours with him.

Henry's heart was very unhappy, and someone from Lunvington City said, let them make a stumbling block for Woolley, the so-called stumbling block, naturally I will not implement what you say, not only do not implement it, but also work against you, causing you trouble.

But it's been two days, and Wu Lai didn't even give them a chance, first he gave him Henry's black face as soon as he came up, and he didn't even let him interfere in things like "Operation Clean Street" that should obviously be classified as the scope of the People's Protection Army, if it was just that, it would be okay, and he didn't even say hello and circled his four people, and he didn't have any way to do it, how could he not be annoyed.

Seeing Henry's heavy pouring cup by car, Tours couldn't help but persuade: "Don't do this, there are some things that you have to take your time." "

Take your time?" said Henry angrily, "let's take our time, Woolly Ringlindo won't, it doesn't matter if you don't see his posture today, now you go and walk around the streets, it's all people, everyone is crazy." Tours

naturally knew what was going on with the streets full of people, and after laughing, he said: "So what, when the last one came, didn't he toss for several days, I guess, it must have been when he went shopping, which guy who didn't have long eyes offended him."

"I don't think so, that kid is very poisonous, the ones who were arrested today, one counts as one, all indiscriminate whips, don't you see, the leather whips have broken a few." Henry said.

Turce shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "What about Baker and Hubble?" "Baker

is now on the same page with money. Henry replied with a dark face, "Hubble took leave in the afternoon, saying that he was going to Lunvington City, alas, I guess, this guy saw that the situation was not right, and went to find a way."

Turce frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that he could deal with Woolley when they all sang their own tunes?

At the same time, Woolley and Gruul also talked about Hubble.

"Hubble wouldn't go to Lunvington for no reason, I'm afraid I'm going to his backer to give him advice. Guru said.

"It doesn't matter. Wu Lai smiled slightly, "I actually know what tricks they want to play, but I'm just too lazy to bother with them, and besides, the more I ignore them, the more they can't do anything about me." Guru

thought so.

Within two days, the results of the operation were revealed, and after people stopped walking the streets to hunt down the thieves and scoundrels, the peace and tranquility of Salt Marsh Town began to emerge, at least now they are not afraid of causing trouble when they walk around the streets.

The four people who were evaluated by Woolly as "having the potential to be a cool official" did not live up to his expectations, and in just two days, they interrogated dozens of unlucky ghosts, and the confessions presented made Woolley look sideways, and even found out the three culprits of the two murder cases.

Wu Lai mercilessly executed these three culprits, not by traditional hanging, but by a more deterrent method - Ling Chi.

This is not to say that Woolley has a penchant for killing to some extent, but that these three culprits are carrying the lives of a total of twenty-two people in two families, and at the same time, he also needs a cruel and bloody scene to deter those who may still have bad intentions.

Naturally, the effect was very significant, and this method of execution, which had never been seen in the town of Salt Marsh or even in Assyria, perfectly fulfilled Woolley's original intention, and at the same time, it also gave him a brutal "reputation". Of course, Ling Chi's scene also became the nightmare material ...... many people in Salt Marsh Town that night

"Next, it's time for the 'Fortified City Project', right?" asked Gruul Woolley.

Woolley sighed softly and nodded.
