Release that Witch

The Castle's study in the fortress is much more spacious than the town office. The tall bookcase occupies the left and right walls, and the edges of the cabinet are inlaid with gold-plated metal edging, which is filled with a variety of books. Look down all the way, from talking about epics to historical travels. In order to facilitate access to the top books, there is a wooden escalator on the side of the bookcase.

Probably for security reasons, the only window in the study was only half a person high, and iron railings were added outside. When the light is shining into the house from the outdoors, it is clear that a narrow beam of light is scattered on the old plush carpet, which is quite independent.

If it is Anna, I will love this place. Roland can't help but think about it, but for him, it is better to have a floor-to-ceiling window and a small town office in the room. Even if it is small, it is full of comfort.

As for the nightingale, seeing how often she sleeps by the fireplace, she knows how much she doesn't like it.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded outside the house.

"Come in," Roland put the "Secretary of the West" in his hand back into the cupboard.

"His Royal Highness," Pedro Hermon walked into the study and placed a stack of white paper on the table. "The statistics you have made me have been completed."

Roland returned to his desk and looked through the list of aristocratic statistics he handed. "This is all the nobles left in the West?"

“Yes,” Pei Luo briefly explained. “I divided them into two categories, guilty and innocent, and then sorted by family name. A total of 64 guilty nobles refused to participate in the rebellion, or Uninformed, there are 137 people, most of whom are free knights, jazz and little nobles."

Roland opened the front page of the list, and the first place was the Earl of Maple Leaf, Roman Candi. Listening to the report of the iron axe, the big aristocrat was hidden in the casks of the basement after being destroyed in the mansion. When the first army soldiers searched out, even the pants were scared. He was also the highest in the battle of reunification. Insurgents.

The next page is the nobles of the Maple Leaf family, such as two sons, other relatives, and the divided knights.

Roland quickly turned to the end, and then satisfactorily folded the statistics. "Good job."

In general, the six major families in the West have become the opportunity for the historical lions Ryan, Maple Leaf, Ben Wolf and Wild Rose to turn over. The honeysuckle and the elk have survived, but they are no longer in the past. The land of the aristocrats, the entire power of the West will be attributed to him alone.

"His Royal Highness..." Pei Luo hesitated for a moment before saying, "The guilty and innocent rulings on the list were provided to me by Mr. Axe. Will it be... there may be misjudgments?"

Roland couldn't help but chuckle twice. "He is very good at interrogation, and he has not been tortured, so I think the final decision can still be believed."

In fact, this is just a scorpion. After all the captured aristocrats are locked into the dungeon, they are all identified by the nightingale. Just ask a few simple questions and you can see if the other party is involved in the rebellion. This is also the reason why Roland dared to clean up the nobility. With the help of the nightingale, he can truly not let go of a bad person, nor a good person. I don’t play the same set of plants, and I don’t pretend to be enlightened.

"That... what are you going to do with these sinful aristocrats?"

"What's wrong," Roland looked up and glanced at Pelos. "Is there your friend inside?"

"No, Your Highness," the latter shook his head. "I just thought that if you kill them all, it might be bad for your future rule."

"You asked for blood debts a week ago," the prince picked up his brow with great interest. "Do you want to let them go now?"

"I really want these people to go to hell, but even if they kill them one by one, they can't save anything... but they may arouse the resentment of other nobles on honeysuckle. And the reputation of the aristocrats is passed down. Other cities may also set off a wave of opposition to your rule."

When I heard this, Roland was quite surprised. This kind of thinking is indeed a way of thinking by mature politicians. Aside from personal feelings, it is more about measuring interests... It seems that this change did not make him more disgusted with fighting, but instead made He has matured.

"It’s okay to tell you in advance," he said, standing up and walking to the small window. "I will announce the ins and outs of the matter to everyone, and then publicly sentence all the rebels in the square, including nobility, guards, enemies and commissions." The culprits, the chief culprit, the direct promoter of the rebellion, and the villains who have the blood of the people on their hands, will be sentenced to hang, while the accomplices will be stripped of the title and the labor transformation of the northern **** mine."

"According to this method of disposal, the hanged aristocracy is so five or six. The Earl of Elk and the squad of the savage wolf have died on the battlefield, and the rest of them are equivalent to saving a life with the title. After the news came out, I don't think anyone would think that this penalty is too harsh. After all, betraying the royal family is a felony."

Pedro was relieved a little, "His Majesty is kind."

When the eldest son of the honeysuckle family left, Roland felt an unprecedented sense of fullness.

This action completely cleared the obstacles for the integration of the West. In the future, whether it is the formulation of the law or the promulgation of policies, it will be unimpeded in this vast land.

More importantly, after he gained the support of a large number of people and nobles to remove the opponents, the rest are naturally potential supporters.

Especially after the aristocrats lost their power to divide and the legal rights of the territories, they wanted to live a comfortable life, and they must keep up with their own policies and spare no effort to promote it. Since the resources of the nobility are far more than the civilians, it is not difficult to gain benefits from it.

Once they taste the sweetness, they will never want to go back to the kind of hardships they used to have. After all, these little nobles have not enjoyed the benefits of the territory. If the operation is not good, they have to pay the money. Soon they will realize that just playing chess according to the rules can easily lead a life that was previously unimaginable.

There is no doubt that the city building plan has taken another big step forward.

Roland wiped out the condensed water vapor on the window, and looked through the fuzzy window to see the city shrouded in the white snow. Since he still has to stay here for a while, he will often come to Changge Fortress to deal with government affairs, and simply follow himself. The preference is to transform this study into a prince-only office.

For example... start with the floor to ceiling window. (To be continued.)
