One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 212 Consolation II

Tam came forward to calm down the crowd in the city hall, and Matsurizawa continued to ask questions.

"Kazak, do you have the confidence to take on this important task!"

"The subordinates take orders, and must do their best to live up to the entrustment of the lord."

Kazak is still very good at speaking, and this gave Matsurize another title, called the lord, which generally refers to the title of the king.

"Okay, work hard and get results."

Then Matsurize called out a lot of people. At first, they were all from the line on the left, and they were all old people from the Shipwreck City government.

Matsurizawa mostly gave verbal awards and official promotions.

Afterwards, the people in the team on the right were also called out, and they were all appointed to serve in the city government.

During this process, there were questions and answers, and many people came forward to have questions and answers with Matsurizawa one by one.

Soon, Tam found that his city hall was full, even a little bloated, and some people's duties overlapped.

Tam noticed that the crowd on the right had been filled with positions in Shipwreck City Hall, and many of them were important positions.

But in the crowd on the left, not all of them were called out, and there were more than a dozen people who had never been named by Matsurize.

Combined with the somewhat bloated city hall nowadays, it happens that more than a dozen people have overlapping duties. How could Tam not understand that these people are probably going to be unlucky.

Although many of these people are Tam's old subordinates, many of them were promoted by him.

But the smart Tamm knows where he should stand at this time, what he should do and what he should not do.

He watched those people hustle and bustle there, and some of them muttered in dissatisfaction when it was their turn to reward and promote them, completely unaware of the imminent catastrophe.

"Who is Teraj?"

Teraj came out happily from the left, thinking it was finally his turn.

But what surprised him was that Matsurize didn't ask him immediately, but continued to recite names.

"Who is Hansen?"

"Who is Ferriton?"

"Who's Bugke?"

"Who is……?"

Matsurize read the names of thirteen people in one breath, and made them stand in a row, facing himself and everyone.

At this time, the newly appointed deputy mayor, Kazak, also realized that something was wrong. These 13 people were all officials who were not at odds with him on weekdays.

He knew that most of these people had some problems, that is, corrupt officials.

"Where is the duty!"

Matsurize shouted loudly, and two sergeants from the Xiaohe Army of the ten-man team guarding outside ran in quickly.

"Take it."

The sergeants of the Xiaohe Army immediately took down the 13 people who stood prominently in the center.

"Master, what crime am I waiting for, what crime am I waiting for!"

"He Zui, you are Hansen!"

"The subordinate is Hansen."

Hansen, who was the first to come out, knelt down on the ground, waiting for Matsurize to give him an answer.

Kesong Rize was too lazy to talk to this group of corrupt officials at this time, and said to the sergeant of the Xiaohe Army.

"Put it down, and it will all be chopped off."

"Master, what is the crime, what is the crime!"

"Matsurize, you villain, we didn't recruit you or provoke you, why do you do it, ah, don't, don't!"

"Forgive me, my lord!"

After a while of crying, thirteen human heads finally came up and placed in front of everyone.

Matsurize still had to explain to everyone present why he wanted to kill them.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, boss, you come and read."

Matsurize gave Gerald the roster of locals in Shipwreck City that Longying investigated in his hand, that is, the locals in this hall, and asked him to read the message about the 13 people who died.

"Hansen, a native of Shipwreck City, served as the director of the Office of Shipwreck City in 1990 in the Haiyuan Calendar..."

"Read the crime directly."

"Okay, father, the crimes are as follows, the notorious torture of one hundred and eight slaves was led and perfected by Hansen..."

When Gerald said this, most of the locals in Shipwreck City, who were still mourning, cursed the dead Hansen.

It turned out that in the past, when the old king was there, in order to better punish the disobedient slaves and deepen the slavery of the slaves, he promulgated many tortures against slaves. Later, some people collectively referred to them as slave one hundred and eight tortures.

Most of the officials below, especially those who were born as slaves, were tortured by this kind of torture, and even family members and friends died of this kind of torture.

At first, some people still doubted why Matsurize was so sure that Hansen was the mastermind of all this, but then Gerald read out the specific content of Hansen's invention and creation of the [-] tortures, and no one No longer doubt its authenticity.

I just lamented that Longying's intelligence ability is really strong.

You must know that since the old king of the Songbai Kingdom died at sea, this kind of information has basically become top secret, and even the later King Yagyu II and Tam did not know about it.

This is not how strong Longying is, but thanks to Mellon's previous intelligence information, it happens to be there.

Longying was formally established, and before Matsurize could say anything, Mellon, who was far away in Sanchuan City, took the initiative to hand over his own intelligence system and merged it into Longying.

Next, the crimes committed by the 13 people were announced one after another.

The city officials of the emerging shipwreck city are not unconvinced. In the face of the iron-like facts, there is no need for sinners and others to say more.

This is also a wake-up call from Matsurizawa to the city officials of the shipwreck city, warning them not to follow the old path of these 13 people.

Then Matsurize asked Kazak to lead their family to continue to visit the Shipwreck City, and asked Tam to make good arrangements for the emerging city officials.

"Kazak, I want to go to condolences to those who are lonely, old and weak, and to those who really need it. I'm not putting on a show, you know?"

Kazak, an upright official and a local expert, led his family to condolences to the old and weak in the city after understanding Matsurize's needs.

This is actually a means of appeasement. The city government officials of Sunken Ship City are ready, and ordinary people also need to feel the condolences of the Matsurizawa family.

Matsurize's schedule is very full, and three days is enough for him to stay in Shipwreck City.

Early the next morning, Matsurize's family, who came out of the camp, rushed to the Firearms Camp outside Sunken Ship City.

This place is being relocated. This is the only production workshop in the Songbai Kingdom that independently produces guns and artillery, and it is also the only place on Songbai Island equipped with skilled craftsmen who can make these two items.

Now they all have to be moved to Xiaoheling, and merged with the semi-finished workshop under Xiaoheling's Gun Bureau.

Matsurize came to comfort these craftsmen who were forced to go to Xiaohe.
