After the public trial in Fergus City, Roger continued to lead the Nightguard, sweeping away the worms of the Empire from south to north.
One trial after another, the power of the people was mobilized to expose and judge the nobles who used to be powerful in the past, which greatly ignited the people's sense of identity and belonging to the empire, and no longer doubted the notarization and determination of the Night Guard.
In Fergus City, the territorial people will still be intimidated by the lord's accumulated power and dare not speak out.
Roger made both promises and ridicules, and only then did someone go out and complain about the tragedies he suffered in the past.
As the Night Guard went north, the mobilized citizens became more and more motivated. Everyone no longer needed to publicize it too much. As long as they saw the uniform of the Night Guard, they immediately started cheering and welcoming them into the city.
The people have learned to assemble and report on their own initiative, automatically line up to maintain order, and identify problematic nobles one by one.
The investigation pressure of the Night Guard is greatly reduced. They only need to judge the truth and falsehood, conduct a trial, and then execute the execution. The work efficiency is terrifyingly high.
Of course, this is also because of the situation in the north of the empire, the overall governance level and political environment are much more clear than those in the south.
The nobles here are bound to make mistakes, but the proportion of the death penalty has dropped significantly.
One is that many nobles who knew that their lives could not be guaranteed because the Night Guard was outside, had already voluntarily evacuated and fled;
The second is because the empire went all the way to the south, and it still didn't start in the north. The more stubborn the resistance it encountered, the Queen of Eternal Night had already killed a round and carried out a big exchange of blood...
Most of the current lords, either the imperial subdivision, or the honest people who took the initiative to submit to the original family, are more cautious.
Or because it was only three years, these lords have not had time to fall, at least they can maintain a sense of responsibility on the surface.
But wherever the Dark Night Guard's black robe passed, there were still people's heads rolling.
The fact that the lord is no problem does not mean that all the dogs below are innocent. There was no powerful enough agency to supervise the ruling of the nobles before, and it is inevitable to breed ugliness.
After the initial doubts and incomprehension, the imperial people saw that the public trial was not a flash in the pan, but was repeated constantly, and finally dared to believe that Roger really wanted to carry it out to the end and kill the whole country.
For a time, the recognition and praise for Roger, the Queen and even the current administrative system of the Empire grew louder and louder.
Whether it is the old imperial people or the people of the Seventeen Nations who have already moved closer to Qingteng in their mentality, the boundaries between each other are blurred in this great trial, and they begin to expect that the Qingteng Empire can lead them to create a happier life.
Sins get their due retribution, there is no mercy in the execution on the spot, and the process is completely open and transparent. This is an extravagant hope that can only appear in everyone's dreams in the past.
Now that the extravagant hope has really come into reality, the Night Guard will not tolerate it wherever he goes.
No matter how powerful and ancient the family is, they must pull out to face their own subjects and their past actions. Such a decidedly happy and grudge has become a legend in the mouth of the bard.
Compared with the secret investigation and evidence collection and the cold sentencing, the residents felt full of participation, and finally no longer felt that they were lowly ants.
Participation, no matter how ordinary people and ordinary jobs, are building and prospering this land together. This is the fastest way to build a sense of belonging.
The construction is very slow, destroying the cruel nobles in the past through the trial, but it is only a matter of a trial meeting.
The actions of the Night Guard can be regarded as a surprise to accelerate the integration of the Empire and the Seventeen Kingdoms, because the most popular people have the same enemy - the noble class during this time.
The feeling of common hatred and common struggle makes them no longer separate from each other.
The foundation of the empire's centralization system seems to have been strengthened a lot, and the time for real change is getting closer and closer.
Chapter 126 Angelina's Relief
In this battle to reform the aristocratic class, the relationship between the Charles siblings, which was subtle and awkward compared to the previous days, has warmed up a lot.
On the bright side, the Night Guards killed corpses everywhere, and the nobles were trembling, providing enough deterrence.
But secretly, Angelina has been providing logistical and intelligence support for the Night Guard's operations, and has made up for many of Roger's ill-considered details.
For example, Angelina suggested that Roger should suspend the arrest of those nobles who absconded in fear of crime, and it doesn't even matter if they turn a blind eye.
"Sister, are you pitying these people?" Roger joked.
Angelina poked his forehead and hummed proudly: "Stupid, this is to fully exploit their value."
The nobles who have left the empire are unable to hurt their subjects, unable to retaliate against the empire, and no longer pose a substantial threat to the empire.
The wanted for them is just to maintain the majesty of the great country and let the latecomers understand how high the cost of crime is.
But it is really not urgent to solve these fugitive nobles now.
Angelina plans to arrange for people to focus on propaganda, and portray the escaped nobles as super villains full of evil and powerful, who may kill the empire at any time.
After listening to his sister's arrangement, Roger finally followed her train of thought.
Instead of sympathizing with the suddenly suppressed nobles, she hoped that these "villains" would constitute a deterrent.
Public trials and exposing the evil deeds of the nobles, but every territorial citizen participated.
It's like throwing a name card. If there are wicked people at large, the people must support the rule of the Qingteng Empire.
Only a strong Qingteng Empire can prevent these villains from really coming back and reckoning with what the people have done.
Even with the further improvement of the national strength, it is still possible to punish these fugitive nobles.
The territorial people may not think of this, but Angelina will arrange for someone to arrange a set meal to guide the territorial people to think.
In this way, it is equivalent to the largest number of people, tied to the chariot of the empire.
After all, they were afraid of the nobles they fled to.
In addition to benefits, benefits, appropriate deterrence and external enemies are also means of bringing people together.
"Sister's trick is great, so even if all the worms in the empire are killed, the Night Guard will always have support and work to do." Roger couldn't help but admire.
"Sister has always been super powerful, if you want to be able to speak, just say a few more words!" Angelina's eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help giggling when she saw Roger's sudden embarrassment.
For Roger, it's natural to give a compliment or two, but to flatter someone with rhetoric, even if it's intimate, it feels weird...
"Okay, let's move on to discussing the new provincial system."
Angelina let him go, bringing the topic back again.
She, who has always been dignified, can be shameless in front of her brother because she is really happy tonight.
A sincere compliment from my brother is better than 10,000 compliments from others.
Because this shows that he still has areas that are not as good as his own, and there are still places where he needs to help him check and fill in the gaps!
My sister is not a failure after all, it is still very useful...
In terms of her gentle character, she unscrupulously pursued the Oath of Glory for the sake of the empire, and more importantly, to protect Roger.
He has completely offended the aristocratic class, so these people must be completely suppressed to the point of being unable to retaliate, so that Roger can be safe.
The populace is an easily forgotten creature.
Don't look at Roger's popularity now, but if there is no follow-up deeds to constantly brush their presence in front of their eyes, after a month, they will forget who Roger is and return to the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Therefore, external deterrence cannot be lacking. As long as the news of the fugitive nobles is updated from time to time, the public will not forget the credit of the Night Guard, and always expect Roger to protect them.
This move is similar to Yang Kou's own weight, but Angelina did not take the initiative to play with the means, but instructed Roger to push the boat with the flow, and don't create a passive situation where the water is clear and there are no fish.
Even if the Queen of Eternal Night can't hide everything, don't test humanity casually.
Angelina talked about her experience in politics, and Roger also benefited a lot from listening to Angelina's Prime Minister's class.
It was not until more and more cooperation and exchanges these days that he realized that his previous understanding of his sister and the saint in the game, An, was a little shallow.
Her kindness is only relative to the moral level of the nobles of this era.
In fact, she is smart and has insight into human nature. If what she does involves the rise and fall of the empire, she will not be stingy.
This is an empire builder who looks weak but is actually stronger than anyone else. She has the most noble dream in her heart, and she deeply loves this land and the people who live here.
Roger felt that even if he was her own brother, if he still adhered to the original plan of taking her to escape from another world, he would definitely be disappointed in the end.
Because Angelina was soft on the outside and tough on the inside, she would never agree to leave the Ivy Empire. If Roger knocked her out and forcibly kidnapped her, the siblings would have nothing to do.
"But you are obviously villains, yet you act upright..." He couldn't help complaining in a low voice.
Angelina poked her finger on his forehead: "What are you mumbling about, don't listen to the class well!"
Roger raised his head and said nonsense very sincerely: "I'm saying that today's sister is very beautiful!"
Angelina blushed, and then slammed her fist at his head: "So you are implying that yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, the elder sister is not beautiful?"
Roger dodged left and right, shouting aggrieved: "You... how did you hear that? I was running outside the other day and didn't see you!"
"Oh, because I'm so busy that even my sister doesn't want to, it's a crime!"
"Hey, you're being a little unreasonable!"
"Teach your brother, you don't need to reason!"
The two made a fuss, and the chickens pecked at each other.
Of course, it is one-sided.
Fortunately, Angelina's physical strength was limited. After a while, she sat back on the chair, rubbed her red hands, and panted and said, "Your bones are so hard right now, it hurts my hands."
Roger laughed and didn't answer.
This is not the opening of the treasure chest two days ago, but a passive skill that slightly increases physical defense and rebounds 30% of physical damage.
It can only be said that fortunately Angelina's attack power is limited, otherwise it would not be as simple as red hands.
He didn't reply, and Angelina was bored and stared at him.
How long has it been since you were doing this shit
In other words, how long has it been since the two brothers and sisters sat down and had a good chat
When he became a hero admired by everyone in the empire, he was no longer the younger brother who could be seen lying on the bed every day when he came home.
