Early the next morning, as soon as Todd woke up from his deep sleep, Hudgens rang the door of the room urgently and brought him bad news.

Just in the early hours of this morning, a riot caused by immigrants outside the city broke out.

The cause of the matter is not complicated.

A few months ago, a fugitive businessman from Silver Circle, in order to avoid the war, took his only family, his young and beautiful daughter, to settle outside the city of Muxicheng. They met a handsome young weaver and dyer in the immigration area. After the two met each other, the two married young men signed a marriage contract.

However, soon after, the merchant met a spice shop owner in the city. The latter is a widower, who is over 60 years old and widowed in middle age. During a visit, he took a fancy to the businessman's daughter and hoped to marry him.

Originally, the businessman explained his daughter's marriage contract and declined the widower's request. However, the spice shop owner coveted his daughter's beauty and put forward the conditions of security and housing, which made the merchant's heart shake and hesitate.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the settlement threshold of Twilight City.

Taking into account the infiltration of spies and the management of the city, Todd originally proposed two conditions for the identification of the resident status of West Side City-security and housing. 1. Any outsider who wants to become a resident of Muxicheng must find a resident in the city as security and provide a detailed life history and past experience for filing and review; 2. Residents of Muxicheng must have independence in the city Real estate, that is, having a fixed residence, the real estate must be purchased by the residents themselves, or by their immediate family members.

Only when the above two conditions are met at the same time, outsiders are eligible to become official residents of Muxi Town and enjoy civil rights such as tax exemption, education, and appeals.

For the businessman, leaving the messy and messy pit of the immigration area and officially becoming a member of the miracle land—Twilight West is a dream he wants to realize all the time. Regret the marriage or keep the promise, it became a difficult choice before him.

After some ideological struggle, the businessman finally chose the former. Accepting a gift from the old shopkeeper and signing a second marriage contract, he is eager to take advantage of the quiet of the night, and bring his daughter to move into Muxi City secretly.

Everything was going well, but he had forgotten only one thing.

After his daughter learned of her father's decision, she ran out of the house in the dark, found her fiancé, and stated the whole story.

The angry young man found brothers and sisters of the same race, blocked the moving businessmen, and asked for an explanation.

Just when the immigration area was in trouble, the old widower who hadn't seen the beauty for a long time couldn't sit still. He took his family and apprentices and walked out of the city. He happened to meet all of the above.

When the rivals met, they were extremely jealous, they didn't agree with each other, and they fought.

The fight lasted until the intervention of the Twilight West Security Team.

Faced with the stubbornness of residents and immigrants, the security team, which did not have any good feelings for the latter, made a sentence that was obviously favored by the widower. They demanded that the businessman's daughter immediately execute the second marriage contract. This behavior completely ignited the lead of the gunpowder barrel.

At first, it was just a conflict between a few people and the security team, and then it turned into a rapidly spreading chaos. The long-term backlog of anger and depression in the hearts of immigrants swept the entire immigration area like a volcanic eruption. Hundreds of people, shouting injustice and oppression, took up the weapons at hand, smashed the security team, attacked Twilight City, and even occupied some buildings in the outer ring of the city.

When news of the riots reached the camp of the Knights of the West, before he could ask the king for instructions, Cumberland made a decisive decision. On the one hand, in order to avoid suspicion, he invited Alfonso and the monk Joe as warlords, and on the other hand, he recruited regular troops. With the alien combat group, the offensive of the rioters was contained and the decisive killing was launched.

By the time Huggins reported the incident to Todd, five hours had passed since the riot occurred.

"Casualties?" As he waved away from the maid, Todd took off his robe and put on himself, his voice low and terrible.

Huggins stood at the door of the palace, lowered his head and looked at the report in his hand: "The regular army of the Knights, two people were seriously injured; Muxi security team, 13 people died, 7 people were seriously injured; residents of the city, 6 people died, 20 Two people were seriously injured; more than 15 shops and residences were burned and smashed, and nearly 6,000 silver moons were lost."

Todd buttoned the last button and looked up at Huggins: "Where are the casualties in the immigration area?"

The latter was a little surprised by this question and lowered his head: "The specific figures have not yet been counted, but according to the visual inspection of the successors of the investigation department, it is estimated that more than one hundred and ninety people have died."

Todd took the ceremonial dagger from the table, hung it on his waist, and walked by Huggins's side. He couldn't hear any emotions in his voice: "Let the monks try their best to rescue the wounded, and inform the holy library to prepare food and warm items. , To ensure that the loss does not increase. In addition, all officials in the kingdom are notified to hand over the affairs in their hands, and a meeting will be held in the conference hall two hours later."

——————————————

At 9:30 in the morning, the main chamber of the Knights.

Todd sat on the high throne, his right cheek supported, his face solemn.

At the long table below him, the senior officials of Muxicheng who were formally appointed by the king sat on their chairs, no one spoke, and the air was quiet but the sound of wood burning in the brazier could be heard.

After a while, Todd broke the silence: "Has the supplies for the holy library's rescue been distributed?"

Queen Mary stood up and looked up at the seat. Todd's face was so serious that she had never seen it before, giving her a brief loss of consciousness: "The victims have been counted, and the suppliers, catechumens and groups of believers have been contacted. Food and blankets are being distributed now."

Todd nodded and turned his attention to Cumberland: "How are the rioters now?"

The old knight stood up and saluted the king: "There are about 870 people involved in the riot. In front of the crossbow and shield walls, these mobs are as clever as rabbits, and the sergeants are confirming the identity of the dead. And count their crimes."

Todd asked again: "The source of this riot, the merchant family, the young owner, and the old widower, have you found them?"

Cumberland nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that they are the main responsible persons for this incident and have been imprisoned by the army."

Todd leaned back, leaned on the back of the throne, and exhaled: "This riot has sounded the alarm for the Kingdom of Muxi. Our enemies are not only from the outside, but the internal conflicts are also handled in the same way. important."

Hearing that the king called the contradiction between immigrants and residents an internal contradiction, Rachel was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood the meaning of this statement.

Todd patted the armrest of the throne with his hand, looked at the officials of the kingdom, and slowly said: "How should this riot be handled? How to prevent similar incidents? Let's talk about it, I want to hear your opinions."

The people at the long table looked at each other. Everyone confirmed each other's expressions and movements. For a long time, no one spoke.

Just when Todd was about to say something more, someone he hadn't expected stood up.

Queen Mary bowed and bowed, and under everyone's gaze, she said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, at the beginning of the establishment of the Muxi Kingdom, there is one thing that should be perfected first."

Todd nodded for her to continue.

Queen Mary took out a thin book from her arms and gently held it in her hand: "Your Majesty, the book I am holding is the Law of West Side, with a total of 178 clauses, a total of three. More than a thousand words."

After placing the books on the table, Mary took out nine books thick as bricks from the bag at her feet, and put them in front of her: "These are the secular laws of the Papal State, including fifteen categories, five Thousands of nine hundred and forty-four clauses, a total of 179 thousand, three hundred and seventy-five words."

Todd looked at the two contrasting legal documents on the table, thoughtfully.

Queen Mary, who has super memory ability, pointed to the book in front of her and said: "The cause of this riot is the ruling of a double marriage contract. Article 26: The sacred marriage of the Heavenly Fathers is inviolable. According to the order of the contract of the believers, to determine whether the marriage contract is valid, then this riot will not occur. In contrast, the law of the West City is lacking, and the law enforcement officers His unprofessionalism buried the fire in this disaster..."

Todd leaned forward, listening to the analysis of this beautiful woman, and couldn't help but nod and ask: "So in your opinion, what should I do?"

Queen Mary crossed her hands, placed her lower abdomen, looked down, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I suggest. First, expand and enact the Western Law to ensure that the laws of the kingdom can bring order and peace to our people; , Set up courts and recruit scholars, so that professionals are responsible for the enforcement and adjudication of daily affairs."

Todd looked at Mary and tried to ask: "Who can you choose? Do you have a recommendation?"

"Knight Dion was born in a family of law, and he and his classmates can undertake the work of law-making; as for the establishment of the court, we can openly recruit ~lightnovelpub.net~ to invite those capable scholars to work for Twilight... …"

Queen Mary hadn't finished her words, but a voice interrupted her.

"I object!"

Todd followed the sound, and another unexpected figure came into his sight.

Rachel's face was solemn, his brows were twisted together, and his eyes were cold as ice cubes when he looked at Mary.

Cumberland raised his eyebrows, first glanced at the two women sitting on either side of the long table, then quickly glanced at the puzzled king, and finally closed his eyes and sighed.

The faction disputes in the Muxi Kingdom gradually shifted from underground to above the table.
