This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 226 The Value of Life

The three laws set by Zhou Li seem groundless, but in fact, these are the best solutions that he and Ivy and others negotiated overnight.

Because, his ultimate move needs these three laws to cover up.

"I don't know if you heard clearly?"

After the sweaty oath taker repeated the three laws, Zhou Li repeated his question.This time, no one raised any objections, and the nobles also fell silent after looking at each other, and no one objected.

They knew that Zhou Li had set off his "momentum" through words and violence at this time, and now Zhou Li was like a rampaging ferocious beast, and confronting him now would be tantamount to asking for trouble.

"Since everyone agrees, I will continue with the inauguration ceremony."

After glancing at the people with resentment on their faces, the narrow-minded Zhou Li directly remembered them in his heart, and prepared to take them down later.Then, he looked at Christine and said, "General Christine, you should preside over the ceremony next, right?"

"Yes."

Feeling the gazes cast from all directions, Christine nodded helplessly.Now even if he shouted in public, "I'm announcing something, I have nothing to do with Zhou Li", no one would believe him.He got up from his seat, then took over the device for loudspeaker, and said to everyone:

"Then proceed to the second part of the inauguration ceremony, awarding honors."

The subsequent process was very short, except for the small episode where Christine received the medal from Zhou Li and then awarded it to Zhou Li, everything went smoothly.

Then, more smoothly came.

In the last link, that is, when the nobles voted, Zhou Li suddenly said to everyone

"Everyone, you also know how Duke Mintz died."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately fell silent.A few timid ones even showed panic on their faces. They subconsciously thought that Zhou Li meant to kill themselves like Duke Mintz, but Zhou Li's next words reassured them a little.

"Don't worry, I'm not threatening you. I just want to help you."

Putting his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, Zhou Li said to everyone with a smile: "Let me explain to everyone first, Duke Mintz's death has nothing to do with me. His death is an inevitable thing."

Upon hearing this sentence, the expressions on the faces of these people suddenly changed.According to the information they collected, Duke Mintz died of a heart attack after Zhou Li visited the prison, and Mrs. Maya did the same.But now, Zhou Li can say "their deaths have nothing to do with me" without shame, which makes everyone feel astonished by Zhou Li's shamelessness.

"I know what you are thinking." Zhou Li didn't care too much, and continued: "But it doesn't matter, I have no advantages, just big-hearted and generous. What I want to tell you is that the death of Duke Mintz and the others It is because the grotesque itself is a kind of sacrifice. When a person becomes grotesque, death is bound to come."

When everyone in the audience heard Zhou Li's words, they also moved a little bit.They seemed to sense that Zhou Li was about to say something, but no one wanted to be the first bird, and they were all watching the situation quietly.

"Oh, what a terrible monster. Think about it, what a horrible group of people it is."

Zhou Li clapped his palms, his compassionate look made people feel nauseous, "You said that if one day, you are eating hot pot and singing songs, you will suddenly be infected into a grotesque. The wife is gone, and the child is dead. Oh, I’m sorry too, in the end the whole family is taken advantage of by outsiders, and everything is gone, don’t you think it’s scary?”

Although there was a little disdain on everyone's face, they still believed it more or less.After all, the current situation is that Duke Mintz and his family are ruined, and the majestic Duke is now waiting to be slaughtered like a rotten and smelly corpse.Therefore, after hearing Zhou Li's example, everyone more or less sympathized.

"You are all the pillars of the country and the public servants of the people. You say that the Grand Consul hired by my majestic Yingnan government, the brave man appointed by the twelve quarters, the darling of the gods, the sworn brother of Magnum III, can let the kings go Did he suddenly die suddenly at home one day for no reason and turn into an abominable monster?"

As soon as he slapped the table, Zhou Li was impassioned and said in a strong voice, "No! I won't allow this to happen!"

"That's why the government specially deployed [-] soldiers to protect your mansions, prevent grotesque invasions, and let you live in a warm and safe Jordan! This is what I should do, and what I must do!"

Haha, your map of Yan Kingdom is a bit short, the dagger came out so quickly.

At this time, the white-haired old man stood up helplessly under everyone's expectations, and said to Zhou Li: "Mr. Zhou Li, this is too much. We are also Yingnan's glory after all, and are the blood of Yingnan passed down from generation to generation. You can’t insult us like that. Surveillance in the name of safety is not what a brave man does.”

"Oh, now it is."

Zhou Li nodded, and naturally agreed.

Don't you refute the previous statement?
The old man's face froze, then he shook his head and said firmly: "No, banning us from conducting business and political activities is already provoking all of our nobles. If you want to station troops in our territory, you must A blatant declaration of war. Mr. Zhou Li, our relationship should not have been so tense."

"you're right."

To everyone's surprise, facing the old man's tough tone, Zhou Li didn't start the laning as expected, on the contrary, he gave in.

"Okay, since you don't want our protection, I can't help it. After all, this kind of thing can't be forced. I'm still a reasonable person."

With a slightly regretful tone, Zhou Li waved his hand, and said to the somewhat dazed nobles: "Okay, everyone, go back, it's none of your business."

Is this the end?
Are you out of trouble?
In just three hours, all the nobles with PTSD looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one was the first to leave.Seeing this, Zhou Li clicked his tongue and said in a bad tone: "What? What do you want to do? The government didn't open fire today, so get out of here."

"Have you nothing else to do?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Li cautiously, and asked a question tentatively.

"Then let's talk about whether you can donate more gold coins to the victims."

In a word, the nobles couldn't stop laughing. Seeing the nobles leaving the stage one after another, a playful smile gradually appeared on Zhou Li's face.He touched the brave ones on his waist, and his smile grew stronger.

********************
When the consul comes, there will be a blue sky.

Public opinion is fuel that can easily be ignited. When Zhou Li's words and the three major laws were fully broadcast by the Jordan Evening News, the entire Jordanian civilian class boiled.They have never seen someone who cares so much about common people and targets nobles.What surprised them even more was that Zhou Li didn't just talk but did something.

It turns out that charity really donates money to us poor people!

At this time, the prestige of the Grand Consul began to gradually accumulate in Jordan.When the first batch of supplies was delivered to the civilians, most of them knew this brave man who came suddenly.

Of course, the understanding of the officials and nobles is even deeper.

They deeply realized Zhou Li's shamelessness.

"What? Withdraw troops?!"

The wealthy businessman named Kent was shocked when he received the news from his subordinates.He quickly stood up and asked his subordinates, "What do they mean? Why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?"

At nine o'clock in the morning, the soldiers who were supposed to be stationed near the Kent mansion suddenly packed up their equipment, military trucks pulled the soldiers out in batches, and most of the military tents were also dismantled.This made this wealthy businessman who was so rich that he was a half-wood odd one suddenly panicked.

It's not that he doesn't have his own professional bodyguards, but just a dozen people can't be compared with an army.What's more, my home with hundreds of acres of land is too big, and the soldiers around the two factories have also been stationed. I can't protect all my territory with my little manpower.

"Boss, they said that after receiving the order from the Grand Consul, all the soldiers began to gather towards the center of the city. According to them, the Consul wants to protect the main area and give up...the uninhabited land."

Kent was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.His mansion occupies tens of acres of land, and the surrounding hundred acres have been transformed into gardens and factories by himself.Although this piece of land was refurbished magnificently, almost all of them are his family members and servants, and there is not much land actually used.

"He disregards human life!"

Kent was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Is he crazy? How dare he threaten me in this way? Impossible, I can't give in to him!"

"But…"

The subordinates on the side suddenly hesitated. He looked around and whispered to Kent: "The chief of the group of soldiers told me that the Grand Consul allowed them to protect the civilians."

"What do you mean?" Kent looked at his subordinate a little calmly, and asked in a deep voice, "Did he explain it to you?"

"Explained, explained."

Nodding repeatedly, the subordinate quickly replied: "That person said, if there are enough civilians in Sir's territory, this place won't be a deserted place."

It turned out to be the case.

Upon hearing this, Kent immediately understood what Zhou Li was up to.The biggest problem in Jordan is the civilians. Because of the plague problem, most of the civilian residential areas have become plague areas and are completely uninhabitable.The existing aid stations simply cannot accommodate so many people.And the one who owns most of the land now is a rich person like himself.

"He wants to kill two birds with one stone."

Kent sat back in his chair, looking sullen.He knew that not only himself, but also other nobles or wealthy businessmen who owned a large piece of land were treated the same as him.This is a naked threat, but it is also an open conspiracy.Because I and others just subconsciously rejected Zhou Li's "request for stationing" yesterday, I never expected that Zhou Li would play word games and withdraw the original army.

"By the way, they also gave me a letter."

At this time, his subordinates took out a letter and handed it to Kent.Facing this subordinate who was always half-talking, Kent sighed helplessly, and then opened the envelope. When he saw the contents of the letter, Kent's eyes froze.

On a piece of white paper, there is only one short sentence.

"Quality soldiers are limited, first come first served."

"broken."

Seeing this sentence, Kent was struck by lightning.He never thought that Zhou Li would do such a great job.The meaning of this letter is very simple. There are not many soldiers who can be sent as bodyguards to you rich people. First come, first served. As for those who arrive later...

Then don't blame Zhou Li for being unkind.

So ruthlessly sow discord.

Kent gritted his teeth, looking at the short text on the letter, the veins on his hands popped.After a while, he put down the letter weakly, and said to his subordinates: "Now, immediately tell the people in the barracks to give me the list of civilians."

"clear."

The greatest advantage of his subordinates is obedience. He ran out without any doubts.

Seeing the back of his subordinates galloping away, Kent weakly let go of the letter.He knew that this time, the originally solid noble group was easily disintegrated by Zhou Li.As for Zhou Li, he had nothing to lose.

What kind of monster is he?

"How many replies have you had now?"

In the Grand Consul's office, Zhou Li put down the lunch box that Elma had just given him, and then asked Roja who was beside him.

"A total of 13 people."

Roja handed the list to Zhou Li, and his tone was full of admiration, "As you expected, when they learned that the number of soldiers stationed was limited, they immediately blocked the news, for fear that other nobles would find out about it. contacted us privately."

"It's normal."

After taking a bite of the honey cake, Zhou Li glanced at the list and said to Roja: "Don't think that the relationship between these nobles is so close. The reason why they can unite now is because they want to fight against me to protect themselves. interests. But if I were suddenly linked to their interests, they would abandon their former allies without hesitation."

"What's next? What are we going to do?"

In fact, there is no shortage or limit of soldiers at all.Not all self-respecting nobles were intimidated by "withdrawing troops".In fact, Zhou Li just took sixteen people as the first batch of test subjects.

Sure enough, the sixteen nobles quickly panicked after being threatened with withdrawing troops, and became completely crazy after receiving the news of the limited number of soldiers.

"Send a message to the remaining nobles and tell them that the number of soldiers is running out."

After taking a sip of honey coffee, Zhou Li took out a tissue and wiped his hands in satisfaction.Roja on the side agreed and began to pass down Zhou Li's orders.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou Li, I want to ask you a question."

After conveying Zhou Li's order, Luo Ya just wanted to go to his office, as if remembering something, he suddenly asked Zhou Li: "If those nobles are really bad and are not ready to accept the garrison, what will you do?" Sample?"

After hearing this question, Zhou Li thought for a while, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at the misty sky outside the window, and said lightly:

"I will withdraw without hesitation."

"Their lives are as valuable as civilians."
