honor me as god

Chapter 535 I Am the Code
(two chapters in one)

This situation made Bolton heaving a long sigh. He got off his horse and came to the woman, took out the military compressed dry rations from his side bag, put them in the little girl's hands, and said softly, "Take it and eat it."

"Thank you, Uncle." The little girl blinked innocently, not realizing that she called Bolton too old, and Bolton just smiled and didn't correct him.

The woman was very grateful for this, hugged the little girl and kept bowing: "Thank you, General, you are such a good person, I wish you an early promotion."

Bolton's scalp went numb when he heard this. The woman really didn't know his identity. He was a prince, and if he was promoted, wouldn't he become a king?
The crown prince of this generation has not yet been decided, and it is a felony to make nonsense about the king's candidate.

Of course, those who don't know are innocent, and the woman just wished well, so Bolton didn't say anything, because he was afraid that revealing his identity would scare her.

The little girl held the compressed dry food and wanted to break it off, but because she hadn't eaten for several days and had no strength, she couldn't break it apart after a long time.

Seeing this, Bolton stretched out his hand, helped the little girl break up the dry food, and handed over his water bottle, saying softly, "Eat slowly, this dry food is very hard, don't swallow it."

"Thank you." The little girl nodded obediently. She picked up a small piece of broken dry food and pursed her lips. It was obvious that she was too greedy, but she didn't put it into her own mouth, but handed it to the woman's mouth. At the side, the milk voice said, "Mom, you eat first."

He was obviously very hungry, but when he got the food, he still wanted to give it to his mother first. This well-behaved appearance was more like that of Solandelle, and Bolton only felt his nose sore, and at the same time, an evil fire rose in his heart.

Danyu City forced good civilians into such a pitiful state, today they must kill a few dog officials!
Just when Bolton was annoyed, the sound of horses' irritated snorting came from around one after another, and the lieutenant general also reminded: "Your Highness."

Bolton looked over and saw a lot of begging civilians gathered around. They probably saw the mother and daughter get the dry food and thought there was something to eat here, so they surrounded the marching team to beg for food:
"General, we have been hungry for several days, give us something to eat!"

"That's right, General, you must be fair when you lead troops, and you must be fair to us. You can't just give them and not us."

"You must have a lot of dry food on you. Seeing how poor we are, give us some. We are really starving to death."

Seeing so many people around and pointing, the woman seemed a little panicked, and hurriedly stuffed the dry food in her daughter's hand into the depth of her clothes, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

Seeing that he was surrounded, Bolton couldn't help frowning.

The lieutenant walked up to Bolton and reminded him in a low voice: "I can't give any more. Now that there are few people, I can get away. If I distribute food to them again, as the news spreads, more and more people will come. Ask us for food, we can't feed that many people."

Bolton nodded silently, glanced sideways at the woman and the little girl, and signaled them to leave from the trail behind.

The woman hurriedly bowed to thank her, and fled with her daughter in her arms.

Bolton ignored any civilians begging for food, let them cry, let them beg, put on his horse, flicked the whip, and led the team to squeeze out from the crowd and ran to the governor's mansion.

Because the city defense army was replaced and controlled by the personal guards early on, Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen didn't know the news of Bolton's arrival at all. They saw the men and horses breaking into the executive mansion from the window, and then saw the general at the head, and they were frightened.

Both of these two people had been in the royal city before, and they were lucky enough to meet Bolton, and recognized him directly as His Highness the Seventh Prince. They didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they hurried downstairs.

"Your Highness, why are you here? I'm really sorry that we couldn't greet you at the gate of the city." Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen came to Bolton's horse one after another, bowed their heads, and expressed their humbleness.

"You should feel sorry." Bolton didn't even look at the two of them, rode past them, and left an order, "Within three to 10 minutes, send all the senior officials of Danyu City's departments, as well as the contractor Dan. The nobles of the Rain Plain are all called."

Twenty-eight minutes later, the last nobleman hurried into the meeting room of the executive mansion, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

As a city directly under the Central Government, Danyu City has more administrative departments than ordinary main cities, and there are more senior officials. In addition to those nobles who contracted the farmland in Danyu Plain, there are nearly 200 people in the meeting room.

Fortunately, the size of the meeting room in the Executive Mansion was comparable to that of an auditorium, and it was spacious enough that it wouldn't look crowded with so many people in it.

At this time, Bolton was sitting in the main seat, and the rest of the officials and nobles were standing in front. It was not that there were no seats, but that no one dared to sit, so everyone simply stood.

Bolton didn't mean to be polite to them at all, and asked them to sit down without making a sound, and went straight to the point with a cold face: "Danyu City Grain Officer, come out."

Ge Mai leaned forward and said cautiously: "Report to His Royal Highness, this person has been beheaded."

The atmosphere was clearly stagnant, and a faint murderous aura began to pervade the surroundings.

Bolton stared angrily, and asked, "Cut?!"

Gome hurriedly replied: "On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, the food officer Kerry left his post in a prostitution, causing all eight granaries to be burned. According to the law, this unforgivable crime of dereliction of duty should be beheaded."

"You guys reacted quickly. You killed the food officer before Wangcheng sent people to investigate. Why? Are you eager to protect the Dharma?" Bolton's eyes became colder and colder, and murderous intent began to appear in his voice, "Or kill people to silence?"

Gome was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Bolton's face seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and his face was so dark that it was dripping water: "You know what it means. The Dragon Fire Festival is very strange. Danyu City is blown by the north wind in this season, but it suddenly blew up that night. The south wind, and it doesn’t blow early or late, it just happened to blow during the fireworks ceremony, and it just happened to burn down the eight granaries, and the grain officials just left their posts that night.”

"Are you going to tell me that so many 'just in time' are all coincidences?"

At this time, Lin Gengsen stepped forward and said without tears: "Your Highness, we don't think we are innocent. The officials of various departments in Danyu City are appointed by the Governor Ge Mai, and I will review and review them. If anything happens to anyone, we cannot escape responsibility.

"If you want to say that we have committed the crime of negligence, we admit it and are willing to accept punishment. But if you come up like this and accuse us of unnecessary crimes, we don't know what to say."

Seeing the anger in Bolton's eyes, Gomez hurriedly smoothed things over: "Your Highness, there were many accidents on the day of the Dragon Fire Festival. It was indeed a coincidence of many coincidences. Otherwise, think about it, if we planned the fire in the granary , What are we planning? Will burning the granary do us any good?"

Bolton stared at the two men coldly, until their scalps were numb, and then he stretched out his hand and tapped each of their faces: "I will investigate the matter of the Dragon and Fire Festival carefully. Yan Ni, I will count with you one by one!"

"Yes, yes" Go Mai and Lin Gengsen agreed.

Bolton ignored them, but looked at the nobles standing behind, raised a finger, and said with a blank expression: "I came to Danyu City today, and I only do one thing, and that is to plant seeds on the Danyu Plain. Blood Essence Grass."

"You are all contractors of the cultivated land in the Danyu Plain. I invite you here today because I hope you will save face and cooperate with the work my father entrusted to me, so that I can go back to work."

A nobleman stood up and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, according to the provisions of the law, after signing the contract, the cultivated land will be our family's property. We will cultivate it independently and be responsible for our own profits and losses."

"Our wheat this season is about to ripen. If you pull out the wheat stalks at this time, the manpower, animal power, seed fertilizer, etc. we have invested in this season will be wasted, and a huge time cost will be incurred. It’s really hard to say that it’s nothing to lose.”

The nobles were already prepared to be scolded, but who knows, Bolton was not angry at all, he just stood up and said indifferently: "Okay, since you don't want to do it, then I have a proposal—"

"What about you, go home and sit in peace, you should eat and drink, you don't need to worry about anything, you don't need to send people, and you don't need to work hard. Our personal guards will pull the straw and plant the blood essence grass by ourselves."

"After I finish speaking, who approves and who opposes?"

The nobles were immediately dumbfounded, what Bolton said was simply rogue logic!It's like a group of robbers broke into your house and said kindly: "Brother, you can just sit down, and you can collect your belongings by yourself, and you don't need to help us."

Is there any reason for this? !
The nobleman who stood up just now couldn't bear it anymore, and his voice became louder: "I object!"

"Shua——" Bolton's hand flashed a cold light, Wei'an's body disappeared, and successive black shadows formed a line with the nobleman, and the fierce slash was swung from bottom to top, directly splitting the nobleman in half .

"Shua, Shua, Shua——" The two sections of the nobleman's body were thrown into the air with great force, before the blood spurted out, Bolton had already slashed three times in a row like lightning, and the turbulent knife energy split the two ends of the body into six sections.

"Boom!" The ceiling collapsed in pieces from the saber energy, and the wreckage of the building fell down in the air along with blood and broken flesh.

The crowd screamed and dodged, and the six gods shrank back to the corner of the wall, and a few unlucky ones were unable to dodge. Their legs were crushed by the collapsed ceiling, and they fell to the ground and wailed in pain. Judging from the broken bones pierced by the deformed legs, they should spend the rest of their lives. I'm in a wheelchair.

Amidst the dust and blood, Bolton's body stood tall like a demon god. There was no emotion in his sharp eyes, only coldness: "Who else objects? Stand up."

These nobles are usually pampered, and they have never seen such a brutal and bloody scene. They collapsed one by one, crying and fleeing outside the door.

However, within a few steps, the door of the conference room was blocked by the guards brought by Bolton.

These personal guards are all warriors who crawled out of the dead. They never blinked when they killed people. They looked at nobles as if they were looking at corpses.

Seeing that there was no way out, an elderly nobleman pointed at Bolton and exclaimed, "If we just object, you will kill him. This is murder! This is blasphemy!"

"Code?" Bolton sneered coldly, and directly slapped the blank manuscript that Perseus gave him on the table, "My father gave me this blank manuscript. I have unrestricted power of life and death in Danyu City. I want to Whoever dies must die, you tell me the code? Now I am the code!"

"Shua——" Bolton fired his knife again, and the turbulent knife energy gathered into a turbulent flow. The body of the elderly nobleman seemed to be sucked into a meat grinder, and was directly torn into dozens of pieces by the knife energy.

The nobles were frightened and realized that they had encountered a devil, and their family background was no longer a talisman. They were so frightened that they fell to their knees, crying and begging for mercy.

Killing chickens to scare monkeys, killing two chickens, and scaring a hundred monkeys, Bolton's goal has been achieved, there is no need to kill any more, he put the knife into its sheath, sat back in his seat, took out the land deed he had prepared in advance, and said in a cold voice : "If you don't want to die, just line up and come here to sign. All the arable land in Danyu Plain is now owned by the royal family, and I have the final say on what to plant on it."

The current situation is already difficult to protect themselves, the nobles have no time to think about the issue of arable land, rushing to the table to sign.

"Crack, crack, crack" Just as everyone was stunned by Bolton, untimely applause sounded.

In the corner of the conference room, I saw a man in common clothes sitting there. Although this man was plainly dressed and ordinary-looking, everyone who knew him knew that this was Du Mingwei, the richest man in Danyu City and the chief representative of hundreds of nobles.

Bolton looked sideways at Du Mingwei, wondering where he was going.

Du Mingwei didn't shy away from that murderous gaze. After applauding, he stood up and saluted Bolton, and said unhurriedly: "Du Mingwei, I have never met with His Royal Highness before, I only heard that you He is a legendary general who is decisive and decisive, and I am honored to meet you today, and the rumors are indeed true."

Bolton ignored these rhetoric, and said four words like a death announcement: "You also object?"

Du Mingwei was calm and calm, and smiled slightly: "Since His Royal Highness has a blank handbook, how dare I object? Let alone signing the land deed, even if you intend to copy my house, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

Bolton didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly called the lieutenant general: "Du Mingwei's house was copied, and all property was confiscated."

"Of order." The deputy general glanced at Du Mingwei and strode away.

However, before the deputy general walked out of the gate, Du Mingwei's voice sounded again: "His Royal Highness wants to raid the house, of course I will open the door to welcome you, and obey the order. I just want to remind you that there is no need for your officers and men to make a trip in vain."

"My home has no property to copy."

Bolton frowned, not understanding what Du Mingwei meant. He had read relevant information before coming to Danyu City, and knew that Du Mingwei was the richest man in Danyu City and a representative of a hundred noble families.

This kind of rich man actually said that he has no money to copy?What kind of game is this playing?
Du Mingwei looked up at Bolton, and what he said next made the surrounding atmosphere very delicate: "Before the arrival of His Royal Highness, I have already dispersed all the property in my family for disaster relief, and all the food in the basement has been used to help my fellow citizens. .”

"Right now, my house is empty except for a few beds, a few tables, and a few walls. If His Highness wants these things, then send someone to copy them."
