Chapter 2074 cornered
The remaining 4,000 people on Ninth Street were detained in the center of the sports field. They looked listless and still had traces of the fire. They were ragged and many of them had obvious burns. However, this did not receive any sympathy from the aristocratic races. Not only did they not be cured, but they also had heavy anklets on their feet. They made the aristocratic races look at them like they were picking animals.
Wen Tianzheng and his group were standing on the stage in front of them. All the important figures of the Wen family were there. The culprit Wen Yi was standing beside Wen Tianzheng. There was no trace of guilt on his face, and he was full of hypocritical attitude.
The negotiations with the aristocratic races have been completed in private. Wen Tianzheng and the others came to power just to pretend to be a just verdict.
Suddenly, Wen Tianzheng raised his hands. The scene suddenly became quiet. The people around him slowly retreated, leaving him alone in the center of the stage.
"Valents, friends, subjects of Fengdu City. Please let us observe a moment of silence for the tens of thousands of dead civilians!" Wen Tianzheng spoke loudly and sadly. He took the lead in stroking his chest and lowering his head. Everyone in the audience followed him to do this action. The remaining people on the Ninth Street left tears. At this time, they didn't know that what was waiting for them was the bad news that they were about to be enslaved.
A minute later, Wen Tianzheng finished his silence and continued to preach: "Although the past five days have passed, we must always remember this day, a shameful day in Fengdu City. It was all because of a group of greedy and shameless people who deceived the VIP friends who came to watch the competition to use a fake product to defraud huge wealth of up to tens of millions of taels of gold. Then he absconded with the money, but he knew that it was difficult to escape the pursuit, so he deliberately ignited the fire and burned the entire Ninth Street to cover up their crime of cheating on huge amounts of gold."
"As a just Fengdu people, as the leader of everyone, I am here to express my opinion that I will investigate the first offenders of the incident and give everyone justice. At the same time, I will try my best to compensate the losses of the VIPs and friends, so as not to let Fengdu City break its trust in front of the world..."
The passionate preaching was reasonable and well-founded, and it was a completely singular style of a messenger of justice, successfully directing the finger at Liang Yong and the residents of Ninth Street.
At this time, someone shouted in the stands: "The head of the Wen family said beautifully, but where can we make up for our losses? This is a loss of tens of millions of gold. Could it be that it will be compensated from the Wen family warehouse?" This person was naturally arranged in advance.
Wen Tianzheng lowered his head for a moment ashamed, and then looked up again and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, although the Wen family has been in Fengdu City for many years, most of the taxes collected are used for the construction of the capital and people's livelihood. There is no such much gold payment in the warehouse. But don't worry, I have already thought of a solution. Although Ninth Street has been burned into ruins, it is located in the center of the capital and its infrastructure is quite complete. I can compensate everyone for this land."
"Ninth Street has been burned into ruins. Compensation cannot be made into money. Instead, it will have to invest a lot of construction funds, which is unfair to us." Someone loudly opposed it.
"I hope everyone understands my difficulties. I can guarantee that Ninth Street will be exempted from tax for two years from the day it is delivered to you. At the same time, these unruly people in the audience will also be punished. They will let you deal with it and act as a hard labor for the construction of Ninth Street." Wen Tianzheng bowed around, looking helpless and compromised.
"Ah! The head of the Wen family is indeed fair."
"Since the head of the Wen family is so dedicated to our thinking, it seems unrighteous if we are too arrogant."
"I think everyone accepts the advice of the Wen family leader and jointly build the Ninth Street."
"Assist the Wen family leader through this difficulty..."
Wen Tianzheng said this, and the aristocratic clans felt that the play had been performed enough, so they no longer made things difficult for them. They all expressed their support for Wen Tianzheng's decision. For a time, harmony and beauty were made. Under the praise of a group of hypocrites, the grievances on Ninth Street were not only not clear, but instead fell into a greater abyss.
"Bring them up!" Wen Tianzheng was very satisfied with the scene, but felt that the scene was not performed enough and needed the last scene. He shouted and calmed the whole audience down again.
A pair of burly men escorted the old elves, thin men and dwarves, who were tied up in large quantities. They were tortured to the point of being unhealthy, covered in blood and flesh, and had no idea how many bones were broken. They were carried left and right and dragged onto the stage, tied to the cross wooden stakes. They only breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't even have the strength to open their eyes to speak. At this time, they could not even have the strength to speak.
"These three people are my diners. I don't check them. Let these villains get into the house. They work together with Liang to make so-called bicycles to deceive everyone. The crime is extremely serious. The unruly people on the Ninth Street can receive punishment with hard labor, but they must accept the punishment of beheading to serve as a warning!" Wen Tianzheng announced majesticly, directly sentenced the old elves and the others to death.
The compromise with the aristocratic races before made him feel embarrassed and needed a bloody killing to reflect the strength of his Wen family, so that the aristocratic races would not make any more demands. The Wen family had the final say in the land of Fengdu City.
Six men with naked upper bodies and black hair on their chests appeared. They were carrying a ghost-headed knife half a foot wide in their hands. When they walked, nine iron rings jingled, and stood behind the three of them with a fierce look.
The whole audience was boiling, not because of the old elves, but because of bloody excitement. Why did Spanish bullfights become popular for thousands of years? There were always some people who liked such bloody scenes. In the chaotic fairy world, they enjoyed killing, and the spoils-sharing conference turned into a bloody entertainment feast.
"Kill! Kill quickly!"
"It's boring to kill three people."
"And they are so weak, I suggest pulling a few thick guys up and beheading them..."
The shameless character of the aristocratic races was completely exposed. Instead of sympathizing, they clamored loudly, which was a hundred times more hateful than those who encouraged others to jump off the building.
"Kill!" Wen Tianzheng did not pause too much. He seemed to be ready and ordered loudly.
"Hi!"
"Puff..." The creators shouted together, taking a bowl of strong wine from the side, squirting it on the ghost head knife, and then someone smearing the old elf and their necks, and then spraying a sip of wine at their necks.
After being stimulated, the old elves and the others moaned faintly, feeling that the last moment had come, but they were still unable to struggle.
"Kill and kill!"
"Cut it quickly!" The whole audience was infuriated.
The people of Ninth Street looked at this scene with grief and anger, and their hearts were desperate. Because Liang Yong, Ninth Street was prosperous and developed, and also because of bicycles, they destroyed Ninth Street. But they did not hate Liang Yong, and they did not hate bicycles. Instead, they thanked Liang Yong for the hope they once brought them, at least they had been glorious. Without Liang Yong, they would only go silently on Ninth Street and die in the end, but it was even more meaningless.
