Doomsday magician

Chapter 116 Extortion
"Listen, the people inside put down their weapons immediately. Everyone is colleagues, don't fight each other!"

"My compatriots in Chang'an, we are soldiers from the Sichuan-Tibet base, and we are here just to seek justice. If you dare to attack, you are declaring war on our Sichuan-Tibet system!"

"Put down the gun, we can discuss anything!"

"It was your high-level son who first provoked and slandered us Sichuan and Tibet, and even tried to moleste Lieutenant Xu's girlfriend. If you don't give an explanation this time, our 70 people in Sichuan and Tibet will never stop!"

Inside and outside the courtyard, a regiment and a company were confronting each other.

In terms of strength, the Chang'an soldiers who surrounded here undoubtedly had the absolute upper hand, but the commander who was ordered to come here refused to shoot anything.He is not stupid, the westward move of the Sichuan-Tibet base has already been settled, even if the people in Chang'an disagree, it is useless.If he attacked the members of the Sichuan-Tibet advance group at this time, he would definitely be handed over as a scapegoat later.In the case that the battle could not be fought anyway, the people on both sides had no choice but to shout to each other.

As time dragged on, more and more people were at the Chang'an base, and the commotion was getting bigger and bigger.

Most of the Chang'an people present, except for the frustrated mayor, really wanted to solve the problem.As for Xu Bai, he was just delaying time. He knew that the longer the delay and the greater the noise, the more benefits he would get in the end.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the one who is finally counterattacked is more powerful.

It's a pity that people from Sichuan and Tibet all know Xiao Jie's character, courageous and daring to take responsibility, but he just has a strong desire to control.These incompetent people in Chang'an were doomed to a tragic fate the moment the Sichuan-Tibet base entered the city.

Since there is no need to worry about counterattacks, Xu Bai is naturally unscrupulous now.You count as much as you can earn, and you are never afraid of offending others.

"Okay, Commander Feng, you really want to make it hard for me, right?"

The ashen-faced Lord Mayor still had a slight hope of persuading the head of the regiment, with all kinds of promises and threats, he wanted him to shoot to avenge his son.

His position as mayor was originally promoted by connections, and his personal ability and political sense are quite average.Dazzled by the anger at this moment, he didn't notice the consequences of his actions at all, he just wanted to vent his anger. Moreover, Xu Bai's posture was indeed too irritating, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

"Do it, do it fast!"

"Captain Feng, I'll never end with you!"

The mayor did not hesitate to tear his face and offend people, but no matter what he said, the head of the group remained unmoved.The head of the group was in a hurry, so he just said two words: "Don't do it!"

Commander Feng's small calculations are clanging, he has soldiers in his hand, no matter who is in charge of the base, he has to win over him.The Chang'an base looks like it's not working, and the Sichuan-Tibet base is said to be quite good, with 70 people.In this case, how could he really offend the Sichuan-Tibet advance group?Besides, the mayor is indeed incompetent, and offends people at every turn. You must know that the clay figurine is also very angry.

A qualified high-ranking official must first be able to endure, and it is a fool to tear his face apart in a fit of anger.

"Okay, if you are disobedient, I will do it myself!"

The mayor couldn't control much anymore, his face flushed with anger, and he took out a gun himself in a rage.It's a pity that before he could aim at Xu Bai, hundreds of guns from Xu Bai's side pointed at him.What's even more amazing is that under the casual glance of Head Feng, several clever confidants also turned their guns.

"I wipe!"

The mayor was really dumbfounded. Is this my home field or the boy's home field?

Head Feng smiled, and put on a friendly face, stepped forward and handed over his gun: "My lord mayor, don't use the gun, it will be difficult to explain if it goes off."

"You! Humph!"

The mayor had nothing to say, his face turned purple.

"We are all colleagues. If there is something that should be discussed, how can we shoot? I am not criticizing you. Your political awareness needs to be improved." A Zhongzheng's peaceful voice came, and the soldiers outside gave way to a aisle.Then, a middle-aged man in his 40s and a bit fat walked in.There are several black-clothed guards by his side, all capable and strong.

The Lord is here.

Xu Bai, who was still sitting there, didn't change his face, but he knew very well in his heart that this should be Chang'an's No. [-].

From the standpoint of his body alone, it is not unreasonable for Qu Bo to call him a fat man.However, the smile on this man's face made Xu Bai a little more apprehensive.After he appeared on the stage, the mayor seemed to have found a backbone, and hurriedly leaned over, and Captain Feng also lowered his head and restrained himself a lot.

A smiling tiger who is good at hiding his emotions is far more difficult to deal with than a guy like the mayor.

"That's right, put away your guns. Chang'an is our ally in Sichuan and Tibet, how can you fight each other?" Qu Bo also walked into the circle with his eyes squinted.He looked at the scene on the field, and then at Xu Bai, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Even himself, he may not be more calm than Xu Bai in this situation.

"It's Xiao Qu."

Secretary Li glanced at him with a smile, but that smile always gave people a chill.

"Hey, isn't this Secretary Li? Why are you here too?" Seeing the fat man in front of him that made him angry, Qu Bo's words were inevitably a little bit weird, but his expression seemed very sincere.

Secretary Li didn't seem to notice the strangeness inside at all, and still said kindly: "I was busy at first, but suddenly I heard the news that soldiers mutinied. Under the pressure, the rebels even attacked the senior officials of the base, so I had to come have a look."

With a single word, Xu Bai was labeled as a rebel.

Head Feng, who had received a cold look from him, lowered his head even lower, obviously a little afraid of Secretary Li.

"Really? Why didn't I know?"

Qu Bo said calmly: "How did I hear that someone deliberately slandered us in Sichuan and Tibet, and threatened to remove our rank of lieutenant in service? These soldiers also wanted to ask for an explanation, so they were a little impulsive."

Secretary Li snorted and said, "Impulsive? I think people are almost killed by them. This is no longer impulsive, but a crime."

"You can't say that." Xu Bai stood up from the chair, and said calmly, "It was he who molested my girlfriend first, and then threatened us wantonly by relying on his family background. When I mentioned that I was from Sichuan and Tibet Afterwards, he slandered him in every possible way. For such a stubborn person, I called some friends here for self-defense, and by the way, to seek justice for the 70 people in Sichuan and Tibet.”

"Are you the perpetrator?"

Secretary Li looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes.

Xu Bai smiled, but he didn't answer his trapping words, but said: "I have no choice but to blame that brother Gao who deserved it himself, who told him to be so cheap."

Secretary Li shook his head and said, "That's just your one-sided opinion. Who knows if he really said it?"

"He did say that everyone here can prove it." As he spoke, Xu Bai pointed to the hundred soldiers behind him, and then pointed to the dozen poor thugs who were knocked down first and then pushed aside .

The company commander who came with Xu Bai also nodded, and testified: "At that time, Xu Bai asked that Brother Gao a question, and he admitted it in front of everyone present."

Secretary Li frowned at the two people's convincing words. He turned his head and glared at the mayor, meaning to see the stupid son you taught.

In contrast, Qu Bo was much happier.Seeing Secretary Li's deflated look, he couldn't help but proudly said: "Secretary Li, look, this is what happened. The boy who was beaten first molested our lieutenant's woman, and then slandered us. It is tolerable." What can't be tolerated after Commander Xiao Jie moves over the day after tomorrow, I will report today's incident to the top, and he will personally protest to you about today's incident, there must be an explanation."

"I still want to say this." Secretary Li wanted to refute, but he held back in the end.

He figured it out, the group of people in front of him deliberately came to provoke trouble.However, I have exchanged a lot of rights and interests with the Sichuan-Tibet base after the relocation.These hagglings have already caused them displeasure, if they give the other party another chance, Xiao Jie will inevitably make use of the problem at that time.It's better to take a step back now. After everything is settled and the limelight is over, wouldn't it be easy to do something secretly?

Thinking of this, he swallowed his anger and said, "Then, what do you think?"

This sentence is tantamount to being subdued.

Qu Bo glared at the opportunity, and said bluntly: "Compensation, we must be compensated. This kid insulted us Sichuan and Tibetans and brought unbearable trauma to our hearts, so everyone should pay a sum of compensation. Secondly, he molested us. And threatened Lieutenant Xu and his woman, this is another sum. In the end, with so many of us dispatched, the gas money, medical expenses, and ammunition consumption will all be charged to you.”

"Grandson, you are too aggressive!"

The mayor jumped out directly, regardless of his demeanor, and began to scold his mother.

"Unbearable trauma to the soul" is nothing more than that, why are there so many people who have been dispatched for medical expenses without even a scratch? This is clearly blackmail. How shameless?
"Look, you scolded us again, which is equivalent to sprinkling salt on the wound." Qu Bo sighed, pretending to be generous: "However, considering that your son also suffered a little injury, you are not in a good mood. Well, we will not ask for additional compensation.”

Secretary Li nodded happily, and said coldly, "What do you want?"

By now, he couldn't hold a smile on his face anymore.

Qu Bo counted and said: "Food, ordnance, fuel, anything is fine. If the compensation is generous, maybe we won't raise this matter. After all, the friendship between Sichuan and Tibet and Chang'an is ranked first. .”

"I can't give it!"

The mayor immediately objected loudly and was very puzzled by Secretary Li's decision.When someone beats you, you still give the money back. How can such a thing happen since he was a child?When they Chang'an was the Qing Dynasty more than 100 years ago?He can't afford to lose that person!
