I Live Forever in Memory

Chapter 027: Measuring the material resources of the kingdom and forming the love of the kingdom

During Lana's speech, she promised to use three days to solve the gang problem in the capital.

Now, the time has come.

In the central square of the capital, the people gathered to block the water around the three floors inside and outside.Almost all the people in the city left their homes, those who worked, those who went to school, and even the villagers in the nearby suburbs put down their work and rushed over.

I didn't come here for a big sale, or to watch a performance, but to watch a death penalty.

The promise was three days, but in the early morning of the next day, the palace posted a notice.

The content is that the gang "Eight Fingers" that has been entrenched for many years has been eradicated, and all the leaders have been captured. For these heinous people, they will be publicly executed in the central square on the agreed third day.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the people were all taken aback.

They did hear the movement on the day of the incident, how could they not hear the big explosion in the suburbs?It's just that they never imagined that the efficiency of the Princess is so high, so quickly solved the urban ills that the old king hadn't been able to solve for several years.

In this way, it seems that the king's ability is not as good as this ten-year-old daughter.Then, another message came out.

The nobles behind these gangs put pressure on the royal family after the incident, and even an earl attempted to assassinate the king.Fortunately, Her Royal Highness resolved the crisis with wisdom and made the assassination fail.But even so, the old king couldn't afford to be ill under the huge stimulus, unable to preside over state affairs, and temporarily transferred the power to the princess.

This incident immediately became the point of conversation after dinner.At the beginning, there was a lot of fierce opposition, and everyone believed that the role of "regent" should be played by the eldest prince or the second prince.How could it not be the turn of the three princesses and a girl.

But gradually, the public opinion began to change again. The reason was that in just two days, the palace issued several policies to benefit the people.These policies were all written by the princess herself and implemented against all odds.

Coupled with the fact that a large amount of property confiscated from "Eight Fingers" is used for civil affairs construction, some harsh people have to admit that it seems that if the princess handles government affairs, their life will be better.

But on this day, as if they were going to witness something, people rushed over, not wanting to miss it.

At this time, the people on the platform in the square have not yet arrived, and there are only a few gallows erected alone.The thick rope on the wooden frame is not like a guillotine sitting on the ground, and it is a bit less bloody.

After half an hour of hustle and bustle, someone shouted at the edge of the crowd: "Here we come!"

People looked over in unison.On the street in the distance, a line of heavily armed soldiers cleared the way on both sides, escorting the princess in the middle.Behind them were the leaders of the Eight Fingers. All of them had their heads held in shackles, their legs were chained, and they were staggering and embarrassed.

There were also cheers among the people to welcome the princess, and then there were overwhelming shouts and curses at the gang leader.

These people are all ashen at the moment.When I was first arrested, I was confident that the nobles would put pressure on them to save them and continue to make money.Looking at the gallows now, I already know that there is no possibility.

"The reason for the public execution is to let everyone see with their own eyes what the fate of these evildoers will be."

After the princess finished speaking, without wasting time, the execution started directly.

Cold ropes were wrapped around their necks, and they were all hung on it. People watched them struggle subconsciously and die in pain.

Then there was cheering, justice was done, and everyone with a sense of justice felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

On the roof, Li Lin came to visit when he was free.

He is also in a good mood.

As a human being, empathy exists, and Li Lin is glad that he still retains this feeling of hatred, instead of only considering maximizing benefits.

Just like the flying squirrel in the original plot, he threw the eight-fingered leaders into the big tomb and tortured them for a while, and then took them for his own use.Nothing has changed, and they will continue to do evil after they return to the capital, but the patrons who got the money have changed from nobles to Momonga—this is what Demiurge said "mastered the dark side of the capital" .

From the perspective of interests, it is naturally the most reasonable to do so.

It's just that Li Lin still retains his humanity, and he never thought of abandoning it in exchange for anything.Because compared to powerful power, humanity is what constitutes the essence of his person.

The execution ended quickly, and all the leaders were punished.

The princess, bathed in cheers, was further supported as she redeemed her promise, which is what counts.

The old king also watched this scene from a distance, feeling complicated.

Gazef on the side didn't know what to say, in fact, being a warrior commander now doesn't mean much.

In the past two days, the princess has been undergoing constant personnel changes, obviously intending to ostracize him.And he couldn't do anything to fight back.He could only let his direct descendants be scattered and transferred away.

"Maybe Lana is right, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." The old king murmured.

"Your Majesty... As far as I know, the two princes are a little bit unwilling."

It is self-evident what the eldest prince Barubro went directly to the James family's territory.The second prince also obeyed on the surface, but he might be plotting something secretly.

The two princes couldn't accept that their sister would sit on the throne one day in the future.How will this make citizens and even other countries think?Would you think that the two princes are so useless that the third princess will replace the two brothers on the throne?

"I've thought about it a long time ago. That's why I asked Lana to promise me that her two brothers will be saved." The old king looked a little depressed, "I hope they can recognize the reality as soon as possible."

"...I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"what happened?"

Gazef was full of guilt and blamed himself: "All this happened after I brought Li Lin back. If I—"

"All right."

The old king stopped him from continuing, and smiled wryly: "That's his purpose from the beginning. Even if you don't bring him here, won't he be able to come by himself? That kind of strength can't go anywhere."

"..."

"However, I can't think of his purpose. I can see that he doesn't like Lana. Then, what's the benefit to him by helping her become king?"

"Maybe enjoy some kind of possessiveness."

"Maybe. However, for this kind of person, a kingdom may not be able to satisfy his appetite." The old king said, a little disheartened.

In the face of absolute strength, all struggles are useless.It was only now that he realized this deeply.
