Chapter 1245

Boom——

In mid air, heavy thunder.

But under this gloomy sky, a person's eyes are more frightening than the echo of lightning.

The mayor of Pelican city slowly passed his hands and said——

"If you prisoners kill people, then according to the law, you must accept your punishment, even the death penalty. Because only in this way can we comfort those dead souls and tell all those who are still alive that if they commit sins, they must have the consciousness of paying for their lives! "

"However, in my city, if a family loses a man, the family will collapse in an instant and draw into the abyss of destruction without barrier. There is no doubt that this is my responsibility as mayor and my shame. As mayor, I have this responsibility to protect my citizens. Even if you are executed, I want you to go on the road with peace of mind and no longer have any worries behind you. "

Ariel went to the Judas family, looked at the woman, stared at her eyes, and said slowly, "since I will shout the slogan of equality between men and women and everyone is the same, I must not allow women to live on their own. What's your name, mother? "

Judas's wife half opened her mouth, looked at her husband, and then hugged her child again. She looked nervous and speechless.

Seeing this, Ariel was not embarrassed and continued, "don't you want to say? I won't force you. Then take this opportunity, let me talk about my ideas. These ideas are not my whim. In fact, I have long wanted to do so. "

Ariel raised her head, looked at everyone in front of her, and said slowly——

"Pelican city will continue to expand next, but this expansion does not represent a good thing. Because I found that most of the citizen friends who recently entered Pelican city don't know words, and some people can't even write their own names. "

"I have long wanted to build a special school in Pelican City, but I have been very busy and have no leisure. In addition, I was not the mayor before, so I was delayed."

"But in the future, I will build a school in this city. This school will not be like my alma mater old Teng tree. Only the best or most talented students can enter. In this school, all children can enter here to study. The school will teach these children knowledge, teach them to read and write, understand history, culture, as well as our country and the environment we live in. Of course, this is not the most interesting point. The most important point in the school's construction plan is -- "

Ariel breathed out a little and said again——

"This school is not so-called voluntary, but 'mandatory'. In other words, all children in Pelican city should and must come to school. No one is allowed to play truant or make excuses not to come! "

"Only when their parents' working hours are over can their parents come and pick up their children. In other words, as long as it is during the day, all children under the age of 16 must study and have classes in my school, whether the child wants it or not, and whether the child's parents want it or not. "

Ariel looked away at Judas's wife and their children. After a pause, she continued——

"Then our city needs to expand further. I need to build more textile mills and element machine factories. In addition, I will recruit some people to protect our Pelican city from such attacks. I also need a large number of logistics personnel to wash dishes, wash clothes and clean the streets, so as to stimulate the vitality of the whole city. "

"Judas's wife, if you are willing to stay, work in the pelican city and let your children study and go to school here, then I can definitely guarantee your mother and son's three meals a day and the warmth of their living life with my reputation as the mayor of the pelican city. Here, a woman textile worker can earn the same money as a man textile worker. Whether you can earn more depends on how hard you can work. Similarly, you will not be a slave to anyone, nor will anyone dare to do anything that damages your dignity. I can assure you of all this. "

When the voice fell, Ariel turned her head again and shouted to everyone present——

"I also assure you! In Pelican City, the richest people will never sing all day and night, but the poorest people can only curl up next to the smelly ditch and wait to die! I may not be able to make Pelican city extremely rich, but I can still make sure that everyone here has a bite to eat! "

"But we don't just want to have a full meal! I want to do more and develop our city even stronger! "

"But I can't do these things alone. To be more accurate, I need craftsmen to help expand the city and workers to work in the factory! Children need to study hard, farmers need to plant fields, and all people need to do their own work! "

"I need you and your help... No, it should be said that only if you work together and all of you work together, can we create a city where no one will be hungry and no one will be able to live! The future will come only when everyone in Pelican city works together! "

The mayor's voice was clear and leisurely.

Although it is not so loud, it is not so powerful.

However, there seems to be some extremely powerful power in this small body! In the face of this force, even the most powerful brave seems to be dwarfed.

With the mayor's promise, whether citizens, prisoners or families were present.

No one will doubt whether the mayor's words are correct or whether she is exaggerating.

Even some people vaguely began to feel that even if Pelican city really couldn't eat a bite in the end, the mayor was worth following.

After all, no lord or nobleman would dare to personally promise to give everyone a mouthful of food in front of so many people... Instead of thinking that the civilians who are about to starve are very eye-catching and summoning guards to drive them away when they are about to starve.

The world may not be perfect.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, there are many dangers in this world after all.

But... As a person, as a person with flesh and blood

Maybe they are really willing to believe that there will be a goal in this world that is really worth following

Ariel looked up and looked around at everyone here again.

Then she slowly took back her sight, stretched out her hand, gently put it on Judas's shoulder, which was now kneeling on the ground, and whispered——

"So don't worry."

Clatter - clatter——

The rain, which had been deadlocked for a long time, finally fell at this moment.

In this hot summer, these cool thunderstorms bring people a refreshing and soothing feeling.

The rain began to increase and spread to the center of the square.

People began to raise their hands to cover their heads. Some people took out long prepared umbrellas to make room for themselves.

But no matter whether it is with or without an umbrella, there is still no citizen left here. Everyone is still watching the trial, the mayor and the future of the pelican city

Look at what will happen here.

Ariel took a slow breath. Margo took out the umbrella she had already prepared, opened it and held it beside Ariel.

Ariel looked at the prisoners on their knees again and said slowly——

"That's all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not, I will continue to do so."

Then Ariel turned her head, looked at the bench over there and said, "three judges, how long will it take to execute after the death penalty is announced?"

The crisp tower on the judgment seat slowed down and said, "the next day. That is, we'll execute tomorrow. But... We haven't decided on the place of execution yet. Do you still want to operate here? "

The one eye next to him held out his hand, slightly blocked the rain falling on his hair and said, "I think so. If so, a execution ground will be built here tomorrow. Hey, you guys below, congratulations. You are about to become the first batch of capital prisoners in this city. "

Facing the vampire's words with half intimidation and half joke, the faces of the dead prisoners below are even worse. Their families also burst into tears again, and some even fainted with tears.

But at this time, the citrus next to him said——

"Ariel, have you really decided to use that method?"

Ariel, with her hands on her back, still looked at the prisoners crying in front of her and said slowly, "yes, since we have agreed before, I must use this method."

Speaking of this, Ariel slowly breathed out, raised her head, looked at everyone present and said again: "as you know, tomorrow, we will execute the death penalty of prisoners. However, this is not the execution ground, and I don't want this to be the execution ground. Therefore, there is nothing to see in the execution ground this time. Please don't speculate. "

"Now, it's raining heavily. Please go back as soon as possible and don't get wet and catch a cold."

"And the remaining prisoners who can't reach the death penalty, you all go back to the warehouse now. Next, due to the limited time, the three justices of Pelican city will sentence you one by one in the warehouse to determine your punishment. Before that, wait. "

The mayor clapped his hand again and ended the meeting with a simple and clear word——

"Now, break up!"

————

A cabin.

An ordinary hut with element lights on.

The walls are decorated with some simple flowers and plants, and furniture for daily use is placed in the corner.

Generally speaking, the bright yellow decoration gives people a very comfortable feeling. If it is not sealed on the next window, I believe it will be a very warm "home".

There was a big dinner on the table.

It was a whole roast chicken, baked potatoes, a large bottle of milk and a little rosemary.

At this moment, these dishes are emitting a fragrant smell, which makes people move their fingers. If you change to normal at any time, it gives people a feeling of wanting to eat as soon as possible.

A jar of incense is placed in the corner of the room, sending out bursts of soothing fragrance.

With the opening of the door of this room, the fragrance here only fluctuated a little, and then returned to its original richness and warmth, burning quietly.

It was Judas who came in.

He slowly took off his hat on his head and looked at everything arranged in this room of about 30 square meters. For a time, he couldn't help feeling thousands of feelings.

The condemned prisoner sniffed slightly, turned his head and looked at his wife and children behind him. A few seconds later, he couldn't help it again. He came forward and hugged his wife and children. The floor was tight.

"Dad... Dad, where will you go tomorrow? I... I'm out of breath... "

The young child was hugged out of breath and shouted.

You Dalian quickly released his hand, looked at his son, squatted down, nodded with a cry, and said, "Dad will leave for a while... After tonight, he will leave for a long time... For a long time... You are already a little man, so you must... Take good care of your mother, you know?"

The son's eyes looked stunned. With this dull, he still looked at his father and said, "Dad, where are you going? How long will it take you to come back? "

At this moment, Judas's eyes were moist again, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little and stopped talking.

But now his wife is trying to hold back her tears, making her mouth hard to crack a bitter smile, holding her child and saying, "don't bother dad, dad is going to a far ~ ~ ~ far place... Husband, let's have dinner first? You see... There are so many delicious food here... "

With his wife's kindness, he quickly wiped his tears and nodded.

At this time, a family of three came to the table full of dinner and sat down.

As a child who was born from a bitter background, the little guy doesn't seem to know what this meal means. Seeing so many things on the table that I had never eaten before, I cheered happily for a moment. Regardless of his dirty hands, he directly wanted to pull a chicken leg, but his mother clapped to stop him.

"Don't move your dirty hands. Mom will help you."

The woman pulled off the chicken leg and put it in the child's hand. The child happily ate the chicken leg, but the delicious food made his mouth full of oil.

But now the wife has no mind to take care of her children. She slowly pulled off another chicken leg and handed it to her husband.

"You... You eat... Eat better... Eat more... Before... When we got married... We could eat... Such delicious food..."

Judas took the drumstick from his wife's hand and smelled the fragrance from it. His tears broke out again.

But when he saw that he was staring at his son, the dead prisoner quickly wiped away his tears, bit the chicken leg hard, chewed and said, "delicious... Really delicious... Sobbing... Such delicious things... Wife... You can eat... Eat..."

The wife did not speak. She just lowered her head, continued to patiently separate the roast chicken, and then moved it little by little in front of her husband and son. Then she poured them a glass of milk and sobbed.

"Your honor... Has told me..."

The wife touched her nose and said——

"I can only stay here... With you for two hours... And then... Tomorrow afternoon... I'll take you..."

Judas's mouth was also twitching. He slowly put down the drumstick in his hand. Seeing his wife's sad appearance, he suddenly felt what he should do and said——

"Don't worry... Don't worry, wife... The judge said, I won't... Ha ha... I won't feel pain..."

He raised his hand, patted himself hard on the chest, as if trying to summon up courage——

"Your honor said, tomorrow... I'll be in this room and lie on the warm bed over there. They... They'll give me a drink made up of flower goblins. The taste of the drink will never be difficult to drink. After drinking it, I will feel more and more sleepy and finally sleep! Ha ha... It's just... It's just sleepy... It's so simple to sleep... I just slept... "

Just raised his chest, but slowly lowered again with his words.

Judas looked at the food in front of him and wiped his nose again——

"After I knew I would be sentenced to death... What I was most worried about was that I would be paraded in the street..."

"Or I'll be hung from a tree or tied to a post and blindfolded."

"Wife, do you remember the Dharma field we saw before? Our leader executed the thief who stole his jewelry, and then let all of us look at it... Ha ha, now think about it, the thief looks really funny... "

The wife also quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "yes! The thief was so nervous that he kept shouting when he was pressed on the ground... Then the Lord began to read out his crime. Finally, when the thief's head was cut off, the Lord hung his head at the door of our village to remind everyone... "
