Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Shane was right.The nobles held an internal meeting before promising a second negotiation with the commoners.
"I really can't believe that the Levin family can do such a thing! Look what's going on outside? There are many fires, the smoke is billowing, and the streets are full of mobs. Is this what you want to see?" ?”
Facing the aggressive questioning, Medanzuo sat up straight unhurriedly; before that, he even cut his own hair.His voice is not loud, gentle and gentle, but enough for everyone to hear.
"You are mistaken on two points. First, my decisions represent only me personally, as I have always stated. I am deeply honored that you recognize me as representing the family; but from beginning to end, I only represent myself. Second What did the people do at the beginning? They only occupied the factories and water sources, and did not launch any violent attacks. It was we who failed the negotiations and caused disputes." Seeing the man's face turn blue, Medanzo smiled. "The truth always hurts like this."
Brian looked at his father helplessly.The gentle and just Duke spoke: "In fact, Mr. James has handed over most of the power to you. You are sophistrying, but it doesn't matter. What matters is what we do now. The common people have won, which is Facts. We should stop blaming each other, and the delay will probably make them even angrier."
"Yes, the people won this time." Medanzo muttered to himself.This sentence made Brian look at him again in surprise.
The young Warhawk had something to say.He has held back for a long time. "I really don't understand why anyone would want to side with the common people! Even if it's neutral, I don't understand! These vulgar people..."
"They are our compatriots. They also work for our industry and create wealth." Medanzuo said coldly: "The 'people' are our compatriots. Stop treating them as slaves."
The arrogant young man laughed mockingly. "As if you hadn't done any harm to civilians."
Medanzo looked at the other party.His eyes are so sharp that the other party dare not look directly at him. "Have you seen my lost eye?" Medanzuo pointed to the eye that was stabbed earlier: "This is the price of disrespect for the people."
The nobles discussed for a long time, and quarrels broke out occasionally.The request of the common people to "accuse the nobles who broke the law under the old law in the past" angered many people, either thinking that their dignity was damaged, or they were guilty of guilt.The abolition of the private army also dissatisfied some families who were used to making publicity.But they finally decided to agree to the demands of the civilians in negotiations.
In fact, the sinners among the nobility were already "punished" by the spontaneity of the people.Molotov cocktails fell on their yards, their beautiful gardens were reduced to ashes, and workers even blew up their industries - blowing up a furnace would destroy a factory with exhaust pipes everywhere.The smoke and fire in the streets are thus produced.People have a reason for things, so the nobles are so flustered.
After the meeting, everyone walked out of the hall one after another.Several heavy old men stopped Mei Danzuo. "Should your brother come back?"
After a long absence, the proud and cruel light appeared in Mei Danzuo's green eyes again: "What do you want to say? I am not worthy to be the heir of the family. I should give way to my younger brother? It is not your turn to deal with the Levin family. Come and ask. And allow me to remind you of one thing: A beast is a beast with broken teeth and wounded claws. Please remember that."
Medanzuo walked out of the hall with his chin raised high.He knew what those people were thinking. It was nothing more than abandoning the family and violating the principle of mutual assistance among nobles.They laugh at themselves, hate themselves, and think they are crazy to help their enemies.
But he knows how right he is.When he saw clearly how unbalanced the status quo was between noble merchants and commoners, he knew what he was doing was right.He thought that at this point, Sean would probably no longer look at himself with a disappointed expression.
Was it because Sean was standing over there that I walked over?
Medanzo paused, then shook his head, laughing at the thought.It's not where Sean stands, that's right, but where Sean is right, that's where Sean stands.He also found the right position, and by the way, got the person he wanted.
Although the situation was grim, Medanzuo felt relaxed physically and mentally.He even began to think about what job he would look for after leaving the family, and where he would live with Sean.

It is also the hall of the Council Building.The second negotiation was held here, and the attitudes of the two sides were completely different.Although the high-spirited nobles from last time still maintained their noble and reserved traits, they lost that air.And the civilians who were once angry also lost their hostility.Victory put smiles on their faces.
Adam stood there in his tuxedo, his hands trembling with joy in his healthy body.He tried his best to raise the stack of paper in his hand, and read a long list of names on the paper: "...Jesse, Vincent. These people have committed crimes against the people, and they will be punished according to the law. Excuse me , do you have any objections?"
"No."
"From now on, any private army under the noble's name will be disbanded, and any act of setting up a private army will be illegal. Excuse me, do you have any objections?"
"No."
Member elections, people's lives, and the abolition of various harsh prohibitions were read out one by one.Some had happy smiles on their faces, others turned pale with fear or despair.Others were taken away by members of the escort.In the name of the law, these people will be punished, whether they are wealthy businessmen or nobles with ancient and noble surnames.
"The last one." Adam took a deep breath and looked at Sean.The other party sat there quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with him. "Regarding the history of 50 years ago, the existing records are all distorted. We demand that the truth be returned to us. Do you have any objections?"
Silence fell in the hall.It took a long time for someone to answer in the affirmative.The speaker was the only person present who had experienced that period of history, James Levin.Annoyance made him grow older, but he didn't know whether this annoyance was due to defeat in the war or lies. "I'm sorry for what happened in the past."
Nothing to apologize for.This time I won and you lost.My brave comrades and I have triumphed, while you and those corrupt nobles have failed miserably.Things will always go in the right direction, even if it might be 50 years behind, no?
Sean and his companions walked out of the council building talking and laughing.They are discussing, besides Adam, who is the most suitable to run for parliament.The topic was brought up to Sean.Some people patted Sean on the shoulder to encourage him to go, while others lamented that Sean was too far behind.
Faced with the enthusiastic discussion of the friends, Sean just smiled and did not respond.
People can always create miracles, but different times need different people.I have completed my mission. The revolutionaries created huge waves, and after the revolution succeeds, they should also be swallowed up by the tide of the times.Next, the land needs builders, not itself.
They walked out the gate.The unsmiling captain of the guard stood outside, waiting for who he was supposed to be.Someone stepped forward and joked: "Why don't you smile? The people's battle is over! The environment we live in has changed. No one has privileges and everyone enjoys freedom. You should be happy!"
"Of course I'm happy. Of course I'm happy when justice returns to the earth." The captain of the guard said expressionlessly, staring at Sean.
it's time.Sean said goodbye to Adam with a smile. "The battle isn't over yet," he said. "The battle is over now. It won't be over until all the criminals go to court to stand trial."
"They've all been arrested, Sean!" Someone asked puzzledly: "Even if they don't die, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of prison for the rest of their lives!"
Sean smiled and shook his head: "Not yet. The most dangerous sinner has not been imprisoned yet." He walked towards the serious man.The other party bound his hands and wrists, and then rigidly explained to Sean's stunned partners: "Murder, incite|incite|incite others, organize violent|violent actions. These crimes are enough for him to die several times."
"I am the one who organizes violent actions and incites the people. Therefore, I am the one who should be court-martialed the most."
Shane, in prison uniform and shackled, leaned his back against the cold wall.He lowered his head and half closed his eyes, as if he was thinking or taking a nap.The captain of the guard didn't want to disturb the other party, but he had some questions to ask clearly: "That's what you told me that day. I agree with it [-]%, but I didn't expect you to really..."
"Of course I'm serious." Sean raised his head.Now that the burden has been unloaded, his smile is gentle and harmless at this moment, matching the face of a young man, showing a bit of childishness. "I don't forget what I've done, and I don't shirk my responsibilities. I never set myself apart from 'equality.'"
The captain was silent.His sharp eyes fixed on Sean's face, trying to find something from the other side.
Facing the probing eyes, Sean smiled. "Equality and freedom will become the strongest storm, sweeping this feudal country. All crimes will be punished, including myself. I always believe that in extraordinary circumstances, violence is the correct and effective way. Now , This method allowed the civilians to win. But it does not mean that it should not be punished. High-pressure tyranny|government and violent|violent resistance will be destroyed together, and then only light will be left to the people. "
"I have to say, sometimes I feel like I'm doing it wrong. Your mates and your supporters go out to demonstrate outside the parliament building, even come to my apartment door. Most people insist on things that are usually right, maybe you don't. should be convicted."
"Don't think too much about it. The law is the yardstick by which everything is measured. I don't need any 'privileges.'"
"We are alike in that respect. Privileges are what I hate most. In fact, I have spoken to our magistrate, Mr. Green, about your matter. We both think exactly alike. You are a respectable man. People, so we will respect all your decisions."
"Thank you." Shane smiled.
"Don't take it too easy. Please allow me to remind you that there may be many civilians on the jury, but there are also many nobles. The outcome of the trial is still unknown, and death is likely waiting for you."
"It doesn't matter. If death is what I'm waiting for, it must be the most relaxing sleep I've ever had. I can see the future of this land. I have no regrets."
"Because the revolution won?"
"Yes, because the revolution has won. But what you said is not entirely correct." Sean shook his head gently: "It is not the revolution that wins, but equality and freedom."
The captain of the guard left, leaving Sean alone.He looked up at the lamp for a while, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
Sean is lying.He is not without regrets.He was missing someone, and what he wanted to give to the other person was not delivered.
"Medanzo." He whispered, bent his legs, and hugged his knees tightly.He can understand the other party's mood when he is waiting for him, although he can't do such a perverted thing.
The author has something to say: due to some well-known reasons, I had to cut the outline, sorry~~o(>_<)o~~ There are still a few chapters to finish.
Let me talk about this article, this article is simply doing dystopian things, but still pursuing spiritual utopia.The nobles who were originally indifferent and numb were "improved" because they were young and moldable. People all understand freedom and fairness, and a single fire can ignite them all. This is a relatively good idea.
As for Sean (whoa, this is my favorite character!), he is not a "person" in the plot line, but a "idea"; so he can always inspire people, because ideas are very powerful and spread very well. fast stuff.He is a "person" in the relationship line, and there will be troubles between him and Mei Danzuo.
In fact, I don't want to write these; I hope to refine them into the text for Ni Meng to read.But now I need to cut the outline, and the writing of ge is also very jumpy, so I can only write down what I have neglected to express.Personally, I am equally fascinated by utopian fairy tales and dystopian fables, and will definitely write in the future.I just hope that the environment at that time and my writing skills can express clearly
