Chapter 96 (2/2)

Gordon earnestly replied, ”Actually, when Miss Jojo and the duke entered the city, I dispatched a few people to secretly tail you Ever since the duke had that ion, we have all been extra careful We could not allow the duke to encounter any more trouble The soldiers had reported that you all ran into trouble at the public square and you were all outnumbered I took the soldiers into the city but I did not expect it to be like this Why did the assistant governor suddenly rebel?”

Rody waved his hands and did not say anything Everybody guarded hiovernor's mansion

That night, thousands of the Wolf Fang soldiers surrounded the city gates while the remainder and 2,000 Imperial Guards went inside the city to track down the rebels A few hundred of Gordon's overnment and protected Rody as well as Jojo The West Hill City was not quiet that night The city was brightly lit as the people were thrown into confusion When dawn caathered at the open area in front of the government mansion

Those soldiers were not the local defenders of the city They were the assistant governor's hired bodyguards After the fierce fighting that night, some of them were immediately killed Those ere arrested were injured They were tied up tightly and forced to kneel down

The assistant governor had taken a few of his subordinates and tried to escape, but they were all blocked by the Wolf Fang soldiers at the city gatesAll of his subordinates were then killed during the fight, and he was captured

Rody personally executed the assistant governor and ordered his soldiers to expose the corpse in public As for the other rebels ere also arrested, Rody thought about thehter of the citizens that night, he did not hesitate He ordered for all those rebels to be executed

After the assistant governor's subordinates were also executed, the entire West Hill City was stirred up Many of its citizens flocked to the parade of corpses Even though they were dead, sos and toovernor had caused a lot of grievances

Rody had also ordered soate a few of the captured prisoners He was shocked and frightened at the things that were revealed

The embezzlement ofThe first probleer brother, Trey, who died at the public square Trey alone was responsible for deaths of o wild in the West Hill City In two years, he forced the end of several rich merchant faains The elder brother was even uards were all outlaws On the surface, he was the assistant Governor of the Empire but he relied on his subordinates and did many questionable businesses In the last few years, there were robberies at the borders of the Westwood province which exterminated the entire families of several wealthy overnor's actions Millions of gold coins were also found in the assistant governor's home

Half of the officials in the Westwood province had collaborated with the assistant governor Many were in cahoots with the assistant governor, and there were also some ere afraid of the his influence He had relied on the support of such officials to becoovernor of the capital city

Seeing the report of the long list of naer With a loud crash, the table frame broke

”Dispatch 2,000 soldiers to various places in the Westwood province! Investigate those who collaborated with hile one of those involved to escape! Arrest them all for me to personally question!” Rody said ruthlessly, before he frowned at Gordon and asked, ”Westwood province is my territory Do I need permission from the Imperial Capital if I want to punish them?”

Gordon lightly replied, ”By right, you will need permission from the Imperial Capital because they are all officials of the Empire However, this time Miss Jojo was almost killed by them I believe that His Majesty would also not defend them! My advice is that we arrest them first and wait for the orders from His Majesty”

Rody sighed and said, ”I cannot believe that the Westwood province is like this To think that the dignified Tulip Family's territory is actually so foul!”

Gordon also sighed and replied, ”The late duke had already passed away for a few years Miss Nicole was young and you… you… usually did not like to be involved in such matters So…”

Rody blushed and lightly said, ”The past is the past Now that I know, I cannot ignore it anymore!” His face sank and he continued, ”I do not care about the official and political matters but I know that the law must be fair! I will use blood to scare these people, and if they are found guilty after investigation, they will be sent to the guillotine!”

Gordon was frightened by Rody's words and could not help but say, ”Your Excellency the Duke… Although you are very influential, if you disposed of all of theovernment will be in disorder We do not knoho else in the I with them”

Seeing that the duke did not speak, Gordon gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, ”There are sos I need to say! The Westwood province may be Tulip Family's territory but in the past few years, the Tulip Fa to fall As a result, control of the territory was also not as strict as before Most of the officials in the Westwood province were placed by the people from the Imperial Capital The Westwood province is rich, fertile and flourishi+ng Obviously, everyone would be envious! Although the annual income is still handed over to the Tulip Family, a lot of money is still secretly eold ht over by influential and powerful people Your Excellency the Duke is still young, and you have not established yourself in the Imperial Capital If you offend so many people within such a short time… I think it would be better for you to slon Some people should be executed but if possible some people… should be released! When Your Excellency has established yourself, it will still not be too late to dispose of them one by one!”

Rody laughed coldly and said, ”If I do not care aboutmessed up so badly by others, then there is no need to talk about the Tulip Faer these people remain in the Westwood province, the more harm they will cause! Did you not see how many innocent people died in the public square that day? Hmph, the West Hill City only has one pair of such brothers! How many more people like these brothers are there in other places?”

As Gordon walked out, Rody sighed and sat down

”Andy, are you here?!” Ever since Rody was healed by the Black Veiled Saint, he was once again in contact with Andy They had already met each other in Watt Fortress However, Andy was, after all, a skeleton and could not move around in front of people Most of the time, he stayed in the box

Andy's voice resounded in his mind ”Boy, why do you have such a heavy murderous aura? You are not sos that happened in their territory has got nothing to do with you Why are you so angry? I think Gordon's advice was good”

Rody spoke indifferently ”The Tulip Fa to do with the Tulip Family! If the Westwood province is like this, what about the rest of the Eovernor dared to openly rebel because of greed His subordinates had gathered so many desperate runaways What about the rest of the Eions?”

”You are becoh You now have a er soft-hearted at all!” Andy sighed

Rody's expression showed a tinge of pain as he gave a wry s's notes advised to use heavy punish but during a criticalpeople I aer the soft-hearted Rody… hehe… Kill for every piece of trash I kill, tens or even hundreds of innocent people will live! Kill one to save ten Kill ten to save hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands At the end of the day, I do not mind even if I am covered in blood! On the battlefield, if the enemy does not die, I will! This is the principle that I have long remembered!”

Rody slowly stood up and went towards theto look at the bright sun at the distance He then said softly, ”Not only the Tulip Falory…but the whole of Radiant Empire is about to fall!”
