Vol 3 Chapter 72: Late night

A woman is carrying a dry branch that seems to be not much smaller than her, and is walking on the road with difficulty. Because the dry branch is too heavy, she has to stop frequently to take a breath. Although the weather is cold, she is full. Khan coughed hard because of his dry mouth.
"It's not bad if you can keep warm like this, it's too tired, and it's easy to get hungry," the woman murmured in her self-deprecating mouth. She looked back, and found some despair that she didn't actually go far, and then headed forward Looking over the large slope, she simply threw the branch on the ground and sat on it.
In such a cold weather, a woman who was sitting on her body without sweat for a while was too cold. She struggled to stand up again. When she was about to bend down and lift the branch, she saw two people approaching her. .
These are two men who look nothing special, with ordinary clothes and two ordinary faces, but the woman feels a certain danger because they look strange at him, which should not be good intentions.
The woman looked around uncomfortably. There was no one on the side of the road. She looked up at the two people straight up, hoping that they would just follow her, but they walked in front of her, and one of them looked. Looking at the branches on the ground, I was curious and asked, "Where did you find this? I remember that almost everything in the Roman city that can be used for heating is almost burned out, and some people have already started to burn furniture."
"This is what I found from the old square in front," the woman was a little relieved, after all, no one would be willing to do anything for a dry branch. "You can also go there to find it, although not too much, but if you go early I can still find something to burn. This naivety is about to freeze people. "
The woman kindly reminded her that she wanted the two to leave as soon as possible, but the two were obviously not in a hurry to go. One of them went around to the other side of the branch and patted the wood, then looked up at her with a weird smile Say: "No thanks, we need this."
The strange look of the man frightened the woman. She couldn't help but take a step back but happened to be blocked by another person. Just when she was about to open her mouth, the person had already held her mouth with a short knife and ruthlessly Stabbed her stomach.
The woman's covered mouth made a vague scream, but this did not stop the man from committing the crime. The two men pushed the woman to the ground and stabbed her with a knife until she was completely silent. .
"Go away."
The two bloodstained murderers lifted branches to leave in a hurry. This scene was seen by a beggar who hid under the door and sheltered from the cold. The beggar narrowed his body in a corner in fear of being discovered by the two when they left. Only the horror shouting from the street came: "Come on, kill!"
Just when people were angry that a woman would be killed by a branch, another terrible thing happened on the other side of the city of Rome,
This time it was a half-old child. His body was thrown naked in a secluded garbage dump when he was found. His warm clothes were taken away by someone. According to some people who saw this scene, this child There was no violation, the murderer killed him just to grab his clothes.
There are many more tragedies and tragedies happening. Some people broke their heads with stones from the back because of a bite. Some people's home was broken into by gangsters and then the whole family was in trouble. For a time, the city of Rome became messy. At the time of many evil acts, there were bystanders, but no one stood up to stop them. On the contrary, these people would spread the evil acts at the time afterwards, and the result of this was that people found that all this was not really special. reason.
Often for a piece of fuel, for a piece of food, for a warm place to stay, such a simple matter has become a reason for violence and even murder, and the bottom of the city of Rome fell into panic for a while.
Caesar Borgia walked back and forth angrily in the office of the order conference. This is his generous donation to the order conference office in his own name. The usual work of the order conference is carried out here. Caesar likes it here, even more so than The Vatican ’s magnificent bishop ’s office preferred it.
But now he is in a bad mood. The riots in the city of Rome made him keenly aware that things were not simple, but the riots came too suddenly. For a time, he could not be sure who actually caused the panic, let alone know. Where should we start next to stop the riots from continuing to expand?
"Doesn't anyone know who these people are?" Caesar glanced angrily at the group of nobles standing in front of them. These people were responsible for public safety during the meeting, but now these nobles do nothing but explain helplessly Nope.
"Unfortunately, respected bishop, we do n’t know how this happened, but I do n’t think it ’s too anxious. After all, it ’s just a bunch of who are all over the place because the weather is too cold or they have n’t eaten." The nobles said indifferently,
As long as the weather improves, and some grain and coal arrives, it should be fine, or can we send people to go to logging farther away?

"Do you think this is simply something that happens because of lack of clothes and clothes?" Caesar squinted at the noble with sarcasm. When he saw the other person's disapproval, Caesar's lips moved but he didn't get impulsive. The following words say, "Organize our people, the order in the city must be restored as soon as possible, we call the order meeting, if we can not make the people of Rome feel safe, then we are nothing."
The nobles nodded their heads, and when they left, they saw Giovanni Pogia standing at the door watching this scene, and they bowed and saluted as they passed him.
"It's a conspiracy. I can feel that someone is planning everything," Caesar said angrily to Giovanni when everyone else left. "Someone is targeting us, and their goal is the Borgia."
Giovanni nodded. This time he had the same opinion as Caesar: "You are right, but do you think it's useful to rely on these people? They don't know how many of them are expecting things to get bigger, so that they can Get all Borgias out of Parliament. "
"So we have to prepare ourselves," Caesar looked at the open door and lowered his voice. "I have asked my father to allow me to use the Vatican's army. If necessary, we will come to the armed patrol as before, and I am fed up with those all day. The flattery that surrounds us can be counted as a fool in our family. I will do it alone this time. "
Giovanni carefully surveyed Caesar's eyes, and then patted his cheek gently behind him: "Listen to my brother, I will only support you in this matter, although we may not get together in some places but we are all waves Gia, I ’m not going to sing against you in this matter. "
Clenching his fist hard, Caesar grabbed Giovanni's hand with a little excitement, then lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you. Someone told me that Lucrezia's husband seemed to be involved. A conspiracy against our family. "
There was no expression on Giovanni's face because of the unexpected expression. He just opened his mouth slightly to say something, then gently raised his hand and extended a finger to make a silent gesture.
"I do n’t want to say anything in this matter. I think it ’s only my father who can decide what to do." Speaking of seeing Caesar talking, he made a stop gesture. "Do n’t forget that it ’s related to us and For the alliance between Sforza, his father would have preferred to pay a huge sum of 30,000 Durant for Lucrezia ’s dowry, in the end, in order to get a strong ally, now Sforza is working with the French Piedmont battles, if there is a conflict with them at this time, it is not a good time. "
Giovanni's words made Caesar's anger slightly calm when he mentioned Sforza. He knew that Giovanni was right. Although he and the French temporarily halted because of the cold winter, once the next spring came, the two sides passed Not only will the war prepared for a winter continue, but it is likely to have a decisive result. At this time, it is indeed unwise to break openly with the Sforza family as an important role in the anti-French alliance.
"But Giovanni may have been so unscrupulous just because he knew we would care about this. He even instructed the Sanroni mine to cut the Roman city's coal for heating." Caesar said angrily.
"That's what Gumbre told you. I didn't expect that he had left Rome and could affect you." Giovanni sneered slightly, seeing Caesar's unpleasant look, he said again, "You know here I do n’t object to your decision, but I hope you can think more about the possible consequences. You know that I am not your enemy. "
Caesar nodded. He knew that Giovanni was actually good. The relationship with Sforza should indeed be determined by their father, Alexander VI.
"But now I have to solve the trouble in front of me," Caesar said somberly. "The necessary things have to calm down before it gets worse."
Giovanni nodded in agreement, then he thought about it: "Have you thought about it, maybe we can ask the French to help."
"French?"
Caesar looked at Giovanni unexpectedly, then sat down thoughtfully.
Giovanni did not bother his brother again. He walked out of Caesar's office, and when a follower came to him, he whispered: "Find someone to tell my dear brother-in-law that he seems to be in big trouble."
It seems that the outside is getting more and more uneasy and peaceful, and many people are afraid to go out alone.
But even at home, it is not safe, and it was originally an attack on ordinary civilians. As some rich people were attacked, the situation began to get bigger.
To make matters worse, while Caesar was still considering whether to mobilize the Vatican's army, and try not to stimulate the sensitive Roman aristocracy and the French, an attack against the aristocracy shook all the Romans.
A noble couple prepared to have a good time with a group of friends on a boring winter day, so they used enough firewood to let people slaughter a few sheep and enough pheasants, and the hostess even let the servants use enough precious A large piece of wild pork was marinated with spices.
Then the couple began to call friends and friends, and set up a banquet to prepare for a happy meal.
But they did not expect that besides their wine and meat friends, there was a group of uninvited guests who became extremely dangerous because of cold and hunger.
No one knew how it happened. When the servant discovered the guys who had sneaked into the house, those people immediately and without hesitation severely smashed the servant's head with the brass that he grabbed from his side. People began to attack the panicked nobles frantically.
The hostess was blinded in the chaos by burning red firewood, while the hostess was cut off her throat with a meat-cutting knife.
The valuables in the house were looted, and when the City Guard arrived at the news, only a piece of and messy ruins remained.
This crazy and brutal move really scared a lot of people, especially some nobles, they would never be able to be attacked one day.
The attack on the Florentine civilians and even the removal of the Medici family has shocked all Italian city-states, but nobles elsewhere have never thought that such a thing would come to their heads.
Now, the tragedy of the aristocratic blatant killing of people appeared in Rome, which scared everyone.
Caesar, who was still hesitant, made a decisive request to the Vatican, and his army, who had long waited on the Tiber River, then crossed the Tiber Bridge connecting the two sides of the river and entered the old city of Rome.
Unlike before, the Romans calmly and even joyfully accepted the fact that the Vatican army entered the city of Rome. Although the actual number of this army was limited, the Romans were greatly relieved.
But what Caesar didn't think of was that just when he thought he had controlled the city of Rome, which was gradually showing signs of chaos, a larger disturbance suddenly came without warning.
The first thing that happened was the big bath at the southern end of the old city.
In order to prevent coalition attacks, the French reluctantly established a defensive line at the southern end of the Roman city that can only be described loosely. Www.EbookFREE.me In order to avoid conflict, both sides try not to let their own people cross this marker.
Only in this way, the place near the big bath became an uncontrolled area.
The riots first broke out from the streets near the Great Baths. No one knows what caused it in the first place, and no one even knew when it started. A sudden chaos swept from the nearby Great Baths.
In the middle of the night, a few strict people from their own country climbed into the attic of the house opposite the Marino Palace. When they saw their companions who were already waiting there, they walked over to hug and greet the man.
"Are you ready?" The man put on his mask again.
"Yes, this evening is destined to be a lively night." A man handed a sword to the mask man.
Watching the companions take out the prepared weapons from the tightly wrapped clothes, the mask man turned his head to look at the opposite Marino Palace: "Then let's start here, start with that woman."
