King’s Kingdom - Chapter 259

After Theodosius issued an order to clear out lawbreakers in various places and maintain law and order, the city guards and the linked armies in various places immediately took action.

New Lanyin City is naturally the quickest to respond. The more than 400 city guards are not as well equipped as the real field troops, but no one has a set of full-body chain armor. There was no room for resistance, and everything was turned over and tortured mercilessly.

This time, not many criminals were arrested. Perhaps it was because of the previous anti-criminal campaign that made many people turn their backs on their evildoers. This time, only a mere 400 criminals were arrested.

Moreover, many of the more than 400 people are not local villains, but black hands from other regions, specifically to fill the “vacancy” of the Lanyin Kingdom in this regard.

Apart from gangs of robbers and thieves, most of them are human traffickers.

If the immigrants came to the Rhine Kingdom on a large scale to take root, it would be acceptable to Theodosius, at least he would not be arrested, even if it was scattered, he would not be harsh.

However, these people are real human traffickers, abducting women and children, and even stupefying men and selling them as slaves.

This kind of behavior is equivalent to slashing the lifeblood of Theodosius, and it is naturally impossible to forgive.

Therefore, these traffickers were immediately ordered by Theodosius to be sentenced to blood eagles and demolition of bones.

Both the blood eagle and the demolition of bones are exquisite, and the order must be strictly followed.

Because once the blood eagle is executed, the prisoner will die in a very short time, but the demolition of bones is not the case.

This kind of punishment mainly focuses on the arms and legs, cutting the wounds and digging out the bones of their legs and kneecaps, and then executing the blood eagle, so that they can feel the greatest pain.

The first batch of people to be executed were these traffickers.

Up to now, the bodies of these dozen or so traffickers are still standing upside down, inserted in the square in the center of the city.

Because there is no support from the legs and arms, the meat in the calf slumps down and swings with the wind, and sometimes hangs on the torn ribs. As for the heart and lungs, they have all been air-dried.

The death of this group of people made Theodosius’ terrifying and deadly rise by a large margin, but the residents of Rhine City did not feel that Theodosius was an unknown tyrant because of this.

Because after taking over their stronghold, the city guards personally rescued more than 40 children and more than 10 women. If these women and children were bought elsewhere, what fate awaited them.

Apart from these heinous traffickers, Theodosius really did not use particularly cruel means to execute the death penalty.

Conventional murder is hanging or beheading in exchange for life.

Theft is sentenced to hard labor or imprisonment, robbery is longer hard labor and imprisonment, as for crimes such as trafficking in contraband, a fine is imposed, and if you have no money, you will be sentenced to hard labor.

In this large-scale investigation, only more than forty people were executed, less than one-tenth of the total. The residents of the city also applauded this kind of behavior.

And those who bribe officials, bribe guards, take bribes, embezzlers, all were caught by Theodosius.

Although the Lanyin Kingdom is politically clear and the accounts are fairly clear, this situation is still inevitable, but the number and plot are not as good as other countries.

However, the executions of these people are not for the general public. They just announce the final results and the executions are placed in the barracks. After all, whether they are soldiers or officials, their social status in the Lanyin Kingdom is still very high. He also had to preserve the dignity of these two groups, and the high status of these two groups was also held up by him and the Lanyin royal family.

Therefore, those who gave bribes were executed in the center of the city, and these officials and guards who were corrupt and bribed were executed in the military camp.

Moreover, their sentences have not been reduced. He is unwilling to do such things as doctors. Only by letting people know that embezzlement and bribery are intolerable, and the cost of being discovered, will naturally reduce the occurrence of such things. .

Anyway, Theodosius has always been known for his **** methods. It was like this when he fought with the Northern Empire before, and it did not cause any dissatisfaction at all.

In other words, all dissatisfaction was suppressed because of the benefits brought by Theodosius and a series of victories. After all, his king had the power to suppress everything!

The sweeping anti-gang action has been carried out in the entire Lanyin Kingdom. After being arrested, lawbreakers from all over the country sent documents to the new Lanyin City. After obtaining permission and instructions, they executed executions directly in the local area. The number of criminals executed has reached an astonishing 1,200!

Although this number is not as good as the first cleaning of New Lanyin City before, you must know that it is different now and then.

At that time, the southern twelve counties were the new Lanyin city, which were not under the rule of the Orteban royal family, and were governed by the enfeoffed nobles, which naturally breeds more corruption and evil.

But now, the Southern Twelve County has been swept over to remove the squires, and the New Lanyin City has also been swept over again. Under such circumstances, it has been less than two years, and 1,200 people can still be found. Many death row inmates.

Theodosius was not satisfied with this answer. Although he said that many of them came from other places, there were also many locals. This season meant that the management at the grassroots level was not in place.

I originally planned to reprimand officials from all over the country, but then I thought about it~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is an era with low social system and low literacy rate.

Within the entire Lanyin Kingdom, less than 2% of the population of more than 1.7 million were literate, that is to say, they were in the early 10,000s at most.

This is the number that only counts the nobles from various places and the relatives of the Orteban family. Otherwise, the number will be further reduced.

Moreover, there is still a lot of water in this literate person, and some spelling ability may only be five or six hundred or even three or four hundred words, but there is no obstacle to reading.

But in writing, it can be difficult to explain in a single sentence, and some manuscripts even require guesswork to be able to understand it. At this level, according to Theodosius’ own standards, it really cannot be considered literacy.

Up to now, the entire Lanyin Kingdom has more than 5,000 villages and 125 towns (with an average population of around 1,000), and the officials of these basic units are simply not available.

In addition to joining the army, the nobles of the entire Lanyin Kingdom have few idlers at all, but even so, it is still impossible to have one official in every village, and they have to let many two knives serve as temporary village chiefs, but even so, still It is impossible to control all the villages, and some villages still implement the system of elder self-governance, and it is enough to pay taxes every year.
