Chapter 122, Shrouded in Terror

The inner city was of course affected by that terrible storm.However, compared with the outer city, the inner city with a much more reasonable construction plan and much more modern life is not too difficult.

Strong houses will not be easily blown down or collapsed; waterlogging still keeps the city soaked in water for a while, but reliable drainage channels and sewers quickly let the water flow away after the weather clears.

Even people in the inner city will not be hungry after a few days of suspension.They generally have food and savings at home.

But their life was not comfortable at all.

It's just in an uncomfortable way, not the same.

If it is said that the person in charge of revitalizing the outer city at the moment is Ossina, the head of civil affairs; the tone of the entire outer city is post-disaster reconstruction, which is in full swing.

Then the most powerful person in the inner city is Lambert, the grandson of the former council president.And the tone he brought to the inner city was the politics of terror.

Lambert, whose family is almost dead, has turned into a vengeful ghost—at least in the eyes of the inner city people.

This politics of terror started long before the storm.After Norris was arrested, according to the confessions of him and Bradford, the two former members of the Union Parliament, people were taken away by soldiers every day.

The person who was taken away made no sound at all.

The person in charge of arresting people was not even a team familiar to anyone in Fuxing City.The troops directly under the governor who came from Weixing City were completely selfless, and they had no way to inquire about the situation of the arrested people in private.

The inner city is like playing a killing game. Every day when you close your eyes or open them, someone you know may be invited to drink tea and never come back.

Panic is not enough to describe this.

A saying began to spread in the inner city: the vengeful evil spirit wanted to drag the entire Fuxing City into hell to be buried with his family.

The storm that was about to destroy the city turned out to be a time to calm the mind.At least for many people with ghosts in their hearts, this is the case.

At least in a storm, they don't have to worry about soldiers coming to take people away.

However, after the storm subsided, the atmosphere of terror swept over again, and the people in the inner city began to tremble again.

Lambert has become a name that can stop children crying at night in the inner city.

"It's so scary!" Listening to Ossena's teasing in the communication signal, Lambert was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Isn't that the case? I've heard it all! Don't quibble!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lambert continued to defend, "I acted according to the orders of the governor. I don't need to use my power to avenge my personal revenge. Those who are related to death are all the enemies of this city. It is official business to attack them. As for the extra ones, it's not that I want to blame them, but they have done a lot of bad things. According to the governor's standards , they all want to atone for their sins."

"How do I make amends?" Ossina asked curiously.

There is nothing wrong with this, Lambert gave the answer: "Some heinous criminals will be declared guilty and executed in public at the public trial three days later; others will be punished with hard labor for varying periods of time. These Prisoners sentenced to hard labor will be escorted back to the mines of the Abandoned Village to do unpaid labor, or they will work on sewing machines in government-run textile factories where prisoners are the only productivity."

"How many people are there?"

"Well...it looks like 2000 people in total."

"2000 people..." Ossina couldn't help biting her tongue, "There are only 10 people in the inner city, right? You have arrested 2% of the population. No wonder the inner city has spread the word about you."

"That's what they asked for." Lambert snorted coldly, and didn't want to talk more about this.

He did this not just out of his own will.The governor asked him to do it for the purpose of thoroughly cleaning up the inner city.If almost all the means of production are to be confiscated and used as official assets, how can it be done by peaceful means?

The so-called heinous people who need to be executed, as well as many people who have been sentenced to long-term hard labor, actually determine their specific punishments. In addition to the crimes they committed, it also depends on their influence.

Those who vote not fast enough, thorough enough, or decisive enough, the greater the influence, the greater the sin.

However, there is no need to tell Ossina these words.

He changed the subject and said: "You want my help, I already know it. I will help you pick a group of people with very small 'crimes'. They were about to be put back, and they were frightened to death People, suddenly have the opportunity to work for the governor, get a more important position and opportunity than in the past, presumably they will cry with joy."

"Uh..." Ossina imagined that scene for a while.

It was quite crying.

Lambert paused, and then continued: "However, you should also pay attention. The words of these people have abilities, and there is no big problem with their composition. However, after all, they are the targets of iron fists. Whether there will be resentment against the Governor, against the new government, this is something I cannot guarantee. When you use it, you must pay close attention to this."

"I will."

...

After finishing the call with Ossina, Lambert sorted out the information and went to find Governor Gu.

When the time came, Gu Hang's secretary Zhang Chao asked him to wait a little longer, the last meeting was a bit delayed.

Lambert waited patiently. After a while, he saw Yan Fangxu and Thaddeus walking out.

He stood up and greeted the two, and the two quickly returned the salute, passing by each other.

They didn't talk about anything. The two military chiefs under the current governor's influence seemed to be in a hurry. Obviously, they had a lot of things to go back to work on; and Lambert himself was in a hurry to see the governor to report the situation, so naturally he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. .

After entering the governor's office, he was about to salute, but was stopped by Gu Hang.

"Don't be too polite, hurry up and talk about business."

"Okay." Lambert didn't dare to neglect, stepped forward, and placed a stack of materials in front of the governor.

Then, while the Governor watched, he began to tell the story.

The main content is which people he has arrested recently; which of them need to be focused on; which are a little uncertain and need to be decided by the governor.

While listening, Gu Hang marked and corrected some words on his document, and then asked Lambert to take it.

"Follow this."

"Yes." After a reply, Lambert said, "I've finished my business, so I won't bother the governor anymore..."

In the middle of saying goodbye, Gu Hang interrupted him: "Wait a minute, there is something else."

"Your public trial meeting will be brought forward, and it will start tomorrow. After your public trial meeting is over, I will use the same place to hold an award ceremony for our army."

Lambert froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Yes, I understand what to do."

That being said, it's actually a bit of a hassle to do.The time has been moved forward by two days, and many preparations have not been made yet. It seems that he and his subordinates will have to work overtime tonight.

Gu Hang obviously knew this too, he said in relief: "Well, thank you for your hard work, go get ready."
