The Crescent of the Sultan

Chapter 30 Public Grievances



Selim has always believed in his gang of spies. After all, Justinian had never failed, just like this time.

Ali Pasha was hanged at the gate of the military camp by the Guards. His wife and children were stunned by Justinian and placed in a teahouse. Several Guards soldiers who were tasting spiced grape juice discovered that got them.

"Hey, Sato, come and see, there are some drunk women here." A soldier pointed at Ali's wife and children and smiled evilly at his companions.

"Let me see, oh man, these two women are so beautiful, and there's a kid."

The soldier named Sato immediately reached out to touch Ali's wife and daughter. Another soldier who looked like a squad leader hurried over and pushed the other's hand away.

"Sato, you forgot who is the captain, right? If you have good things, you should hand them in first, you know!"

Looking at the beautiful profiles of the two women, the team leader wanted to pull off the other woman's burqa. As soon as he pulled it, he immediately took down the child sitting next to him.

The pain of falling to the ground made the seven or eight-year-old child seem to wake up. Looking at the unfamiliar scenes around him, he cried.

"It's so noisy, Sator, throw him out."

The soldier who was called reluctantly pulled the child out, but was inadvertently broken free by the child.

"My father is Ali Pasha, you low-class man, don't touch me!"

After hearing this, the three guards looked at each other in confusion.

"Captain, could it be these two?"

"Shut up, Sator, I'll ask him."

"It turns out he is the son of Ali Pasha. Who are these two?" the captain asked with a flattering expression on his face.

"Idiot, these are my mother and sister." The child replied disdainfully, but he didn't expect that a soldier had already reached his back.

The soldier picked up a stick and knocked the child unconscious.

"Well done, Sator, hurry up, let's take these three people to the military camp quickly. Aladdin Pasha has been looking for the family of that bastard Ali, and he didn't expect us to run into him."

The three of them each carried a linen bag and rushed towards the military camp quickly.

After narrowly escaping the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the military camp, this group of people bumped into another officer of the Guards.

"Stop, what are you three sneaking around doing? What are you carrying?"

Faced with the officer's questioning, the squad leader had to stop.

"Nothing, Pasha, just some gadgets."

"Open it and take a look. Don't interrupt." The squad leader couldn't help but look bitter, and he reluctantly opened the sack behind him with the two soldiers behind him.

"Oh! My God! How come Ali Pasha's wife, daughter, um, and his son are in your hands?" The pasha was completely stunned. The next second, he laughed again.

"You guys, bring them to my residence, hurry up." The pasha ordered a few soldiers while imagining the appearance of the other party under the veil, and his whole heart became distraught.

"Pasha, this is the person Aladdin Pasha wants." Naturally, the squad leader was unwilling to hand over his trophies, so he moved out the banner of Aladdin Pasha.

However, the man in front of him didn't buy it at all and still asked the team leader to do everything he said.

"Okay, my uncle is the deputy grand vizier, Ali Pasha has nothing to be afraid of.

Don't look so grim, soldiers. If you are active in your work, I can consider letting you be my personal guard. "

The three Guards soldiers suddenly became excited. Such sincere conditions are rare.

However, the news that Ali Pasha's family came to the Guards was still revealed, and Justinian easily spread the news to the ears of every Guards soldier.

That night, the poor woman and her child suffered the most terrible thing in their lives. After a carnival, the Guards took the poor family and wandered around Constantiniya. They forcibly opened and closed the doors. The shop wakes the residents from their sleep and ruthlessly vents their animal desires.

The next morning, after hearing the news last night, Selim did not feel any surprise, but made another note in his mind for the Guards.

By the way, Justinian was a bit rough in what he did, so the Greeks were indeed unreliable. They were obviously quite active when buying grape juice.

After complaining about his own secret agent, Selim decided to go out of the palace for a walk and see if the things Ali left for him before his death were true or false.

As soon as he walked not far from the gate of Topkapi Palace, he saw a group of people standing at the gate, seemingly waiting for the Sultan's arrival.

Realizing that the Sultan was a little confused, the guard beside him immediately walked to the Sultan and roughly explained the reason why the people gathered at the entrance of Topkapi Palace.

"It's interesting. As expected of the Guards, half of the residents of Constantiniya are related to you, but you can actually bring out so many opponents. No one else has the ability to attract hatred."

Selim walked to the palace gate, with the guards closely following the Sultan on both sides to prevent the citizens from getting too excited and attacking the Sultan's team.

"Your Majesty, the great Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the reflection of God on earth, the Caliph of the Islamic world, and the protector of the Two Holy Mosques, please make the decision for the people under your rule and punish the brutal Guards!"

A lame man standing in front of the crowd suddenly fell to his knees and begged Selim for help.

"Please, Your Majesty, save your people!" Behind the man, the people who came to petition shouted in unison.

Many of them had wounds on their bodies, which must have been the souvenirs left to them by the Guards last night, and many of them were crying when they asked.

Seeing the miserable situation of the people in front of him, Selim, who was originally calm, felt the anger in his heart rising again.

These Guardsmen went crazy and were no different than animals.

But Selim can't fall out with these beasts yet. There are only 5,000 new troops in Constantiniya. Although no one in Egypt can control the training of the new troops, this will take time.

Once the purge of the Guards is carried out now, the only ones local supporters can ensure are the Chapan family, and perhaps Kara Osman, and other families will only choose to wait and see.

But compared with the rebellion of the local Guards, Selim was more worried about the rebels in Edirne joining the Guards camp. This was exactly what happened to Selim in the original time and space.

Selim's clenched fist was released after a period of silence, and he once again returned to his previous calmness.

"People of the empire, believe in your Sultan, and I will let the Guards give you an explanation."

Due to the victory of the Russo-Turkish War, the masses chose to believe in the Sultan's guarantee, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

That afternoon, in the central square, the imperial government executed the "chief criminals" handed over by the Guards. However, it is difficult to say whether these "chief criminals" were soldiers of the Guards.

Please read it and collect it, family members.
