Vol 2 Chapter 70: Duties of the nobility

The dawn dawn dawned slightly on the horizon, and the morning mist gradually dissipated in the cool wind.
At the moment, Lailaicheng was very quiet. People walking in the mist didn't consciously take it lightly, as if they were afraid of waking up. Now most of the people walking quickly on the street are some civilians carrying vegetable baskets. Even if they meet acquaintances, they just nodded and exchanged a complicated look, then went home in a hurry.
Tick ​​...
贵 On the main road, an aristocratic carriage marked with the Bauhinia logo was running at a constant speed and headed for Nangang.
Soon, the car stopped at a place called Linhe Street. Two women and one man got off the bus. From the costumes, we can confirm that all three are children of the aristocracy. The first one was Josiah, who we are familiar with.
"Josiah, this is where you have to rush to this morning?" The noble youth frowned at the filthy environment around him.
"Yeah!" Josiah, with a little bit of British spirit, responded casually.
"But this is a slum, hey, what are we doing here?" Said another woman in a long dress, unhappy.
Due to the constant rain in the past few days, it has always been gloomy these days, so a lot of water has been accumulated in this potholeed riverside street. Such an environment is undoubtedly a pain for a woman because it will destroy her beloved In a long dress.
Johia said helplessly: "I didn't ask you to come, you have to follow along."
"Uh……"
"Oh?" Josiah gave a startle sound, as if she saw something, and hurried forward.
两个 The two noble men and women looked at each other helplessly and followed up. The man was better, the woman had to carefully take the long skirt and look at the place step by step, then felt like a minesweeper.
At this moment, a half-collapsed house appeared in front of him, and a group of civilians in rough clothes were half-closed together, and a moan came from time to time.
给 "Give me a bandage ... no? Then bring a white cloth first."
"Fill me another pot of clean water."
喏 "... 喏, this is money, little John, can you help my sister to buy some trauma medicine and bandages at the treatment hall, okay?"
Uh ...
A slightly anxious female voice from the crowd continued to appear as if it were a doctor.
"What happened?" Josiah approached.
"Uh, Miss Josiah?" As the woman was about to get up to wash the towel, she looked up and saw Josiah.
"Are you ... Lena?" The magician's memory is generally good, and Johia quickly remembered the woman she met here yesterday.
"um, yes."
呃 "Uh, what's wrong here?" Josiah asked in amazement.
At this moment, she saw Lena behind, and there were four or five people lying on the ground, and the painful moans came from them.
Lina was angry and said, "Yesterday the group came again. They were forced to drive everyone away, and everyone disagreed. The group took out a stick and beat them. Uncle George's legs were discounted, and Aunt Susan's head Also broken ... "
"What!" Josiah opened her mouth, her face full of anger. "How can they hit someone?"
"More than that. These hooligans ..." Aunt Susan lying on the ground pressed her right hand on her head, and raged with a white cloth covered with blood. "They said this was only a warning. If everyone doesn't move away, then The next time you hit, you will be killed. "
Josiah blushed: "They dare, I'll go find them now."
"Useless," said Aunt Susan, discouraged. "They said it was the decision of the city government figures."
"Nonsense!" Josiah angrily said, "I went back last night to check, the city government clearly stipulated that the demolition fees should be compensated by area."
呃 "Uh ... what about it, we can't fight them."
"Yes, if they call again, we can't save our lives."
"Ugh……"
人群 The crowd around him shook his head in frustration.
Johsia angrily: "We want to make representations! Uh, why are you pulling me ..."
The noble men and women pulled Johsia aside and whispered,
"Josiah, don't you really want to help these poor people ..."
"Why not?" Josiah asked quickly.
"Uh, this kind of thing is very troublesome, and you are not ignorant of the chaos that has recently been caused by the construction of the terminal ..."
Josiah said with anger: "So what, they are fighting for the docks and returning to the docks, but they ca n’t even pay the civilians' demolition fees. Just drive away, where do you let them live?"
"It's true to say so, but they are just poor people, so you help them ..."
Johia frowned and looked at the two in front of her: "This is what you want to say?"
"Uh……"
"Thank you for your kindness." Josiah pursed her lips and said firmly. "They're right about this. Since it's right, I'll fix it."
After speaking, Johia turned away and stood in the middle of the crowd.
The young girl spirit eyes stared at the civilians, and the turbulent crowd around them was quiet,
Bowing in greeting: "Hello everyone, my name is Josiah. The laws of Bran State stipulate that civilians should have the right to be free from hunger, chills, persecution ... When this right is violated, nobles have an obligation to help them .I come from a noble family, and I am willing to help you. "
I watched the civilians completely quiet, watching this young girl who was slightly nervous because she spoke in front of so many people for the first time.
"I have not experienced what you have just experienced, but I understand how you feel now. Your rights should be violated ... if this kind of violation cannot be appealed, then it will never go away. We are right, all we have to do I shouted outright and told those who wanted to invade us ... I'm going to the city main government to lodge a complaint. I don't know if I can succeed this time, but I want to give it a try! I'm Chloe-Johia, a Junior water magician, would anyone like to try it with me? "
I looked at the look that Josiah was expecting, and the crowd bowed their heads to silence.
Josiah's eyes were dim and he bit his lips.
"I'm willing to go!" A woman stood up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and walked to Josiah. "I'm Lina, once a nightingale. Now, uh, I'm making a washing machine ... Well, half an alchemy. Warlock. I am willing to go! "
"I'm willing to go!" A childish voice said, "I'm John, go with Sister Lena, I'll go."
中央 In the middle of the crowd are now standing two women and a child,
"Fuck, my mother is willing to go!"
"Slot Nima, count me!"
Uh ...
It was as if the long-dusted gunpowder barrel was ignited instantly, and the crowd was boiling. At a glance, it was all faces with complex expressions such as excitement, fear, anger, and so on.
An indescribable atmosphere pervaded, and the two noble men and women in the periphery could not help taking a few steps back. Are these people crazy?
For a moment, the crowd carrying several stretchers gathered, and under the leadership of the current two women and one child, they began to walk towards the city's main mansion in the center of the city.
"We want demolition fees!"
"We want to appeal!"
"We ..."
In the shocked eyes on both sides of the street, miscellaneous slogans grew louder. It seems to show that we have nothing, only shouts ...
It was as if Wale Rock City was awakened by this continuous shouting, chaos continued, and endless fighting resumed on the streets.
When this group of shouting people passed by, both sides of the melee could not help but stop, first surprised and funny, but when these people came forward without fear, they did not know who took the lead, and both sides could not help but let it Opened the street.
"We want demolition fees!"
"We want demolition fees!"
The chanting slogan gradually unified, and the momentum grew stronger ... as if to disperse the morning mist, and as if to wake up the city completely ...
