The Guillotines Page #2

Synopsis: During the Manchurian-ruled Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yong Zheng established a secret assassination squad known as the Guillotines to eliminate all who opposed him. Once heavily favored by the Emperor, the Guillotines are deemed expendable once Emperor Qian Long ascends to the throne and adopts Western ideas and technology. To consolidate his power under a new regime, the Emperor continues to use the Guillotines to persecute the conquered Han Chinese in a reign of terror and oppression.

You trust a man like him?

You may 99

You trust that thug over me?

I only trust my men

Where's the female Herder?

I killed her

him too

Idiots

Let's split up

check for signs of activity in the East Market

Buka

Search the residential area

Shisan

Take the crowds in the North End

If someone strikes us

We strike back twofold

If someone kicks us

we chop off his foot

We'll show you how it feels to be bullied

If you stay

You die

If someone

We strike back twofold

That's loads

That's a lot of money

Run!

Thief

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

"Peach Blossom Spring"

Bravo

Buka can read quite a few words

You spied on my brothers?

Your brothers?

I taught them how to write their names

ls his name "Peach Blossom Spring"?

Do you want to get them killed?

Leng

Once you capture Wolf

you will rejoin me at court

On the 15th day of the 8th month

the Firearms Squad will be made official

I'll assign you two

to lead the squad

What about the Guillotines?

Your Majesty I beg you to spare my brothers

are your only brothers

didn't send me to the Guillotines

to destroy them

My father sent you to the Guillotines

to work for me

You serve me

Have you forgotten?

Come on

Haidu will assist you in this mission

and succeed

They work for Gong-e

It's their fate

We work for His Majesty

That's our fate

The shadow plays are all about Wolf

I found these leaflets circulating

in the market

Who in this hellhole would read this stuff?

This one stands out

among all the paper stencils we've found

There's a Herder symbol in the center

Leng

Don't pretend you can read

Hand it over

Why did you burn it?

Leng, stick with me tomorrow

Who do you think you are?

Forget him, Leng

Let's go

How did so many people die here?

They all died from smallpox

I studied medicine before

I know how to treat smallpox

Thank you

Bring the patients to me now

Thanks

Tomorrow

atone

meet at Wine Springs

Do you know what I saw in the Capital City?

Our homes were still there

Some of our families were still there

The bustling market

was still there

Everything was the same

But I broke down and cried

Because our homes were no longer ours

The families left behind

were forced into slavery

The market was transformed

into an execution site for our people

Those left in the city

lost their souls

They are slaves

And those who are not slaves

also can't raise their heads

Our people

are no longer treated...

as human beings

How did we lose our homes?

Fea

How did we lose our land?

Fea

Are we to lose the last vestiges

of our humanity to fear?

O:

The heavens tell me

I'll die soon

But I'm not afraid
