Chapter 126, Execution

"Marinus Flanagan, guilty of murder, subversion, enslavement, imprisonment... In the name of the Emperor, sentenced to death!"

"Jesse Dutra, guilty of murder and fraud... in the name of the Emperor, sentenced to death!"

"Loyd Yukik is guilty of..."

…

Many people, wearing clothes that were originally very delicate but had become dirty during detention and interrogation, were tied up one by one and kneeling on the ground.

They looked at Lambert, who was sitting on the trial bench, reading out his charges, but defended silently.

They couldn't speak either. Their tongues were all cut out to prevent them from talking nonsense on such an important occasion.

They just need to show up here and meet their destiny.

In fact, they were not the first group. In front of them, there was a platform under the high platform of judgment, which was stained with blood.

Just now, at the rhythm of ten in each batch, after the sentences were pronounced, they were dragged to the high platform below, and then a person pointed a gun at the back of his head. Following the order of the supervisor, gunshots rang out at the same time, and the kneeling people

He immediately fell forward, blood spurting all over the floor.

Immediately afterwards, someone came up and dragged the bodies away. When the crimes of the next group of people were read out, the workers poured water on the execution platform with buckets, and then quickly mopped it with mops.

This would definitely not be cleaned at once. When the next group of people were dragged over, the ground was still wet and the smell of blood hit their noses.

I was so scared that I peed my pants and twisted around trying to resist... These were all routine operations, but they were meaningless.

Then came another order, another burst of gunfire, and another group of people being sentenced...

Lambert had to kill more than twenty batches of prisoners in this way before he could finish them all.

During this period of political terror that enveloped the revitalized inner city, nearly two thousand people were arrested.

Of course, these people will not all be brought here to be executed. On the one hand, not everyone is sentenced to death. On the other hand, it would take too much time to sentence two thousand people to death one by one.

A total of two hundred or so, it's easy to figure it out. There are still four to five hundred death row prisoners left to deal with later.

Some of the captured prisoners were really okay, so they were released, about 500 of them. The remaining 1,000 prisoners were all sentenced to hard labor, and the old site of the Dongshe was prepared to be abandoned.

Go dig in the mine.

Judging from the environment of the wasteland, this group of people are quite thin-skinned and tender-bodied. I am afraid they have never done too high-intensity physical labor. After working in a dark mine for five years, I don’t know when the sentence ends.

How many people can make it out alive?

Further down from the execution platform is the execution viewing square.

This place is located in the square in front of the Union Parliament Hall. The place is quite large, and it is not a big problem for 20,000 people to stand there.

Now, about half of the people are standing here, which is about ten thousand people.

These people watching the execution are basically the top 10% of the residents in the inner city.

They were 'invited' to watch this trial, and they were very moved when they received the invitation.

The scene that happened at this moment made them feel numb as expected.

Among those executed, there were many people they knew and were familiar with.

In the past, these were their leaders, their superiors, and their bosses.

Whenever I meet someone, I'm afraid I have to bow my head and bow down to say hello, hoping that if I spare a little money, I can give them a good meal; with a little support, maybe I can have greater opportunities in my future life.

But now, these once aloof people are like dead dogs, being executed in front of them in batches.

People were silent as they watched the execution.

Mr. Governor, you are serious.

This made many of them have to deeply recall the second-generation governor six years ago...

No, it’s even more outrageous than the second-generation governor.

The second-generation governor had to rely on the alliance's own administrative and military power to implement his reign of terror and impose levies. Although horrific disasters were caused in that era, since administrative measures relied on the alliance system to implement them, they

Many people are already within this system, and the ones who carry out terror are themselves.

Many times, terror does not come to you.

But this is not the case with this new governor. He has built up his own power out of thin air, and that power implements his will. The new governor really does not need them.

More than 2,000 people were arrested, and 200 people were shot on a high platform, which was easier than killing a pig. This means that the ruling class under the alliance system, and almost all the leaders of the interest groups, were wiped out.

.

Isn't this enough to show the determination and ruthlessness of the Governor?

Now, they have truly felt that Fuxing City, the Alliance, and even the entire Raging Owl Star have really changed.

…

Gu Hang was on the highest platform, silently overlooking everything.

The blood on the execution platform and the silent and fearful people below did not change his expression in the slightest.

Destroying the existing order, he is indeed doing this. The purpose of this is to clean up the house and make it easier for him to rebuild the order he wants.

His approach to people in the inner city is different from how he treats people in the outer city.

If the people in the outer city are poor and poor, and their stomachs cannot be filled, then use gentle methods to show kindness, give hope, and establish prestige. Let them have enough food and clothing, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and they will naturally become their own strength.

People in the inner city are living a pretty good life. If you want to bribe them with more benefits, the price/performance ratio is too low. Then use decisive methods to implant terror into their minds so that they don't dare to become your own.

Obstacle.

Gu Hang must not let these inner-city people become vampires anymore. Not only that, he also wants the inner-city people to bleed. Otherwise, who will pay for the resources of the outer-city people?

Contrary to what he expected, Gu Hang did not gain much actual value after clearing out the dignitaries in the city.

Money is meaningless. The so-called alliance currency is a currency issued by the alliance government and does not have a wide circulation range. To Gu Hang, those things are like waste paper.

He has not completely abolished the use of alliance coins, but that is only a matter of time.

Gu Hang has no patience to engage in the financial industry here.

Can the financial industry help pay taxes? Can I use alliance coins to talk to the imperial tax officer?

Obviously not.

Currency is just a means of regulating the economy.

The devastating storm caused by the original Angry Owl Sect helped Gu Hang a lot to some extent. When the people in the outer city had almost nothing, Gu Hang realized that he did not need to maintain the original situation of Fuxing City.

financial system.

And the most important thing he got from the so-called powerful people was the industry they originally controlled.

Next, Gu Hang will largely abolish and not recognize the use of alliance coins, which will directly make all the people in the inner city impoverished. The wealth they have accumulated in the past will all become piled up under this decision.

Waste paper at home.

They won't be left with nothing. After all, they still have their own houses and some material savings, which makes them much better off than people from other cities who start from scratch.

But the life of the past will be gone forever.
