Release that Witch Chapter 453: Disposal afterwards (for monthly tickets!)

stronghold's castle study is much more spacious than the small town office. Tall bookcases occupy the left and right walls. The edges of the cabinet feet are inlaid with gold-plated metal edging, which is stuffed with various books. Along the way, you can find everything from miscellaneous epics to historical travel notes. To facilitate access to the top-level books, a wooden escalator was placed beside the bookcase.

Probably because of security considerations, only one by one windows in the study are only half a person tall, and iron railings are installed outside. When light enters the house from the outdoors, a narrow beam of light can clearly be seen falling on the old plush carpet, which has a sense of independence.

If it is Anna, I will definitely like this place. Roland can't help but think, but for him, small town office with floor-to-ceiling windows and always bright in the room is more to his own heart. Even if it is small, it is full of comfort.

As for Nightingale, seeing how she often sleeps by the fireplace knows how much she doesn't like it.

Knocking sounded outside the house.

"come in," Roland put the "Hidden History of Western Region" back in the cabinet.

"His Royal Highness," Petrov Hull walked into the study, and put a stack of White Paper on the table. "The statistics you asked me to do are completed."

Roland went back to the desk and looked at the statistical list of noble he handed in. "This is all noble left over from Western Region, right?"

"Yes," Petrov explained briefly, "I divided them into two categories of guilty and innocent, and then sorted by family name. There are 64 guilty noble, refused to participate in the rebellion, or There were 137 people who didn't know this, most of which were free Knight, Jazz, and young noble. "

Roland opened the first page of the list, and the first one listed was Maple Leaf Earl Roman Kandi. Listening to the report from Iron Axe, the big noble was hidden in a wine barrel in the basement after the mansion was breached, and his pants were scared when he was searched out by First Army soldiers. He was also the highest-ranked rebel captured in the battle for unification. .

The next full page is noble of Maple Leaf Family, such as two sons, other relatives, and the blocked Knight.

Roland quickly turned to the end, and then stacked the statistics table with satisfaction, "Good job."

In summary, the Western Region's Six major family family has become the historical lions Ryan, Maple Leaf, Wolf, and Wild Rose. The four impossibles have the opportunity to turn around. Although Honeysuckle and Elk have survived, they are no longer fief noble and Western Region's in the past sense. All power will be vested in him.

"His Royal Highness ..." Petrov hesitated for a moment before he said, "The guilty and innocent rulings on the list were provided to me by Mr. Iron Axe, will there be ... there may be misjudgments?"

Roland couldn't help but chuckled twice, "He is very good at interrogation, and he did not torture confessions, so I think the final ruling can be trusted."

In fact, this is just a guise. After all the captured nobles are put in the dungeon, Nightingale will be responsible for identifying them. Just ask a few simple questions and you will know if the other party is involved in the rebellion. . This is also why Roland dares to clean up noble with heavy hands. With the help of Nightingale, he can truly not let a bad person go, nor do he wrong a good person. Neither play the set of Zhulian, nor do they pretend to be enlightened and let the perpetrators go.

"So ... what are you going to do with these guilty noble?"

"What's wrong," Roland raised head, glanced at Petrov, "There are still your friends in here?"

"No, Your Highness," the latter shook his head, "I just thought that if you killed them all, it might be bad for your future rule."

"You asked for a debt of blood must be paid in blood a week ago," the prince raised an eyebrow with interest, "Do you want to let them go now?"

"I do want these people to go to **** all by themselves, but even if I killed them one by one, I can't save anything ... Instead, it may provoke the dislike of other nobles to Honeysuckle. And the reputation of mass killing noble If you go out, other cities may set off waves against your rule. "

While hearing this, Roland is quite surprised. This kind of thinking is indeed a way of thinking for mature politicians. Aside from personal emotions, it is more about measuring interests ... It seems that this change has not made him even more disgusted with fighting. , But made him mature.

"It's okay to tell you in advance," he stood up, walked to the small window, "I will announce the ins and outs of this matter to everyone, and then publicly sentence all the rebels in the square, including noble, guards, squire and mercenaries ... The culprits, the direct initiators of the rebellion, and the gangsters with the blood of the people on their hands, will be sentenced to hang, while the offenders will be deprived of the title and assigned Northern Slope Mine labor reform. "

"According to this disposal method, the hanged noble will be just five or six. The viscounts Count Elk and Wolf have already died on the battlefield on the spot, and the rest are equivalent to saving a life with the title. After the news spread , I don't think anyone would think that the punishment is too harsh. After all, backing the rebel King room itself is a felony.

Petrov relieved a little, "His Royal Highness."

When the eldest son of Honeysuckle Family left, Roland felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

This action has completely cleared him of the obstacles to Western Region's integration. In the future, whether it is to formulate laws or promulgate policies, this vast land will be unimpeded.

What's more important is that he has gained the support of a large number of people and noble. After removing the opponents, the rest are naturally potential supporters.

Especially after noble lost the power of subcontracting and the legal power of the territory, if they want to live a comfortable life, they must follow their policies closely and spare no effort to promote it. Since there are far more natural resources in the hands of noble than civilians, as long as you use your mind a little, it is not difficult to obtain benefits from them.

And once they taste the sweetness, they will never want to go back to the kind of hard times they used to have. After all, these little nobles have not enjoyed the benefits brought by their territories. Money down. They soon realized that they could easily live a life they had never imagined before by simply playing chess in accordance with the rules.

There is no doubt that the city construction plan has taken a big step forward.

Roland wipes the condensation of water vapor from the window, and looks at this shrouded city through the fuzzy window. Since I will stay here for a while, I will often come to Longsong Stronghold to handle government affairs, just follow I like to transform this study into a prince-only office.

For example ... start with a floor-to-ceiling window. (To be continued.)
