Chapter 67 Reasonable Suggestions
"Listen to me, and in a moment you will bring me the stakes of the devil in the city, and the stakes of the devil that scream every day...... It's over! β
With the help of his servants, Hu Manshahi easily straightened up from the ground, trying his best to make his orders a little murderous. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the frightened faces of the servants and his men who were "unlucky".
"That thing is a priceless treasure of people from another world! are all protected by soldiers! Boss, if you don't want to die, we will die! Think again! β
To tell the truth, Master Hu Manxiaxi, who is naturally timid, is indeed just talking angry. No matter how angry and enthusiastic he was, he could cure it by glancing at the city wall from the balcony - the bodies of the bandits were still hanging on it.
"A bunch of rubbish! Waste of wheat bran! Furiously, Humanshahi threw the hat on his head to the ground, stabilized his breath and shouted hysterically: "Then go and bring me the bastard who brought the word to the cockroach horn, and instead of reorganizing the people for me, I would rather take all this flour and mend the hole in the wall!" β
However, however hysterically Master Humanshahi shouted that his men were useless, and that the paupers and Baranham treacherously fought for a piece of clothing, the tide was indeed irreversible: the paupers in the streets scrambled to flee from the streets, one by one, as if they were pursued by pursuers with sharp steel spears.
This was something that Barranham expected, and besides, he couldn't stop these companions who had broken their illusory promises for the sake of winter clothes - compared to the Hazeral Chamber of Commerce, which had always been good at shamelessly turning their faces and denying people, the team sent by the central government of Elta obviously had no bad deeds, and it was worth trusting.
What's more, reliable winter clothes, this temptation is not insignificant...... Baranham moved slowly through the crowd, secretly feeling fortunate. The signal given by the Plenipotentiary was kind enough for him to change sides immediately.
"Hmph, it's really a hand." Baramhamra lowered the brim of his hat and limped into a ready-to-wear store down the street, one of Humanshahi's businesses.
"Tell your boss, return this ribbon to him." Baranham entered the door and pressed a shiny object on the table in front of the clerk and the tailor's shopkeeper. "Tell him by the way, I won't wade into this troubled water, let him do it himself. Let him not come to me again, people salute first and then soldiers, and the next thing is to lose his head, who is willing to go! β
After a cigarette, Hu Manxiaxi looked at the seal sent to him and listened to the man's retelling, and almost turned his back on the spot in anger - where did the lame guy run away from him? He didn't know. Where is Barranham now? He didn't know either. The small Hazelal City, which was once as airtight as an iron bucket in the hands of the lord and them, is now rushing beyond recognition at the feet of the poor people they despise the most, and it is possible to find a cripple 404, you must know that there is no Professor Fang in this city, let alone CNNIC.
What's even more annoying is that the poor people who can be grateful to Dade by giving a dead dough cake actually trembled, and they dared to swallow the deposit and not do anything! Hu Manxiaxi clutched his chest and was on fire for a long time, and finally had no idea about the garbage of the cockroach horn and the new plenipotentiary envoy, so he had to let the guy continue to run errands and invite all the backbones in the chamber of commerce to discuss what to do.
"These guys who want to interfere in our policies are very powerful, and they are like our revolutionary ancestors, who go to the masses to find a solution to any problem." The commander of the company of the troops stationed in the city in camouflage uniform lit a cigarette, sat down next to the plenipotentiary envoy and began to swallow the clouds.
"Stop ridiculing, are the plainclothes all up to date?" The Plenipotentiary plugged his colleague's mouth without a smile.
The company commander with a Chinese root in his mouth slanted: "Don't really think of yourself as an uncle, don't keep up, you should know where this group of people came from at this time." β
"It's easy to talk about everything after this point, but now it's better to strictly follow the administrative hierarchy." The Plenipotentiary Envoy pressed the radio headset in his ear and began to call the plainclothes sent by the company commander.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
The unreassuring murmur lasted only a few seconds.
"This is Sergeant Mobuan of the plainclothes security team stationed in the city, what instructions does the chief have?"
"Report where you are."
One of the standard equipment of the plainclothes security unit is a radio headset that can be hidden under a hat or bandana - in fact, even if it is exposed to the outside environment, not many people can see it at a glance. At most, I think this person's ear piercing is a little dark.
These plainclothes security squads, which are made up of the highest "trust level" in Elta's army, have almost the greatest discretionary power. Hidden under their generous robes were pistols loaded with live ammunition, as well as flare launchers, flashlights, twin-shot tasers and other equipment, almost a nightmare for all kinds of criminals in the city. Of course, they are also perfectly qualified for general stalking, tracking tasks.
"Hmm...... Near the 21st Broadcasting Post, near the location of the Cockroach Point slum. β
"What about the troublemakers this time...... Did they all come from this area? β
Mobuan turned his head to look at the broken streets, and replied: "Judging from the signs at this stage, they have no camouflage, anti-reconnaissance and other skills at all, and from their clothing and appearances, it can be determined that the poor people of Cockroach Horn are the main component of this riot. β
"Thank you, Sergeant Mobuan, and good luck. I'll get back to you, done. β
If Hu Manxiaxi had such a means of communication with his subordinates, or had allocated a reserve of materials with tons of clothes to attract people's hearts, he would not have been defeated in such a mess even if he failed. The "non-violent resistance" of the Hezelal Chamber of Commerce was doomed from the outset, and there was not even the slightest chance of winning. If two players were still playing chess on the same board in the silent battle of two whites and one black, the Hazelal Chamber of Commerce thought that they could play against their opponents on the same level, but they did not know that they had already become pawns of the opponent to dominate this area.
So even if the Plenipotentiary Envoy has not yet taken the Grand Boss of the Hazelal Chamber of Commerce and arrested him in his own house without finding out the mastermind behind the riot, there is no next step for Hummanshahi. Let him pull out the electric poles, burn the granaries, and destroy the barracks tents in no time? That's an angry thing to say when you're angry, and you can't take it seriously!
At this time, he was watching the chaotic city return to tranquility, and under the anticipation of the people in the house, the oxen and wooden carts loaded with clothes and bundles slowly drove into the city from the city gate.
The amount of clothing on it was enough to make him dumbfounded. Probably there were really people in this city who thought that the so-called clothing assistance, one person is better for winter, and so on, the slogan was that the officials above drank too much wine and waved their hands and promised casually, and they couldn't believe itβbut now they clearly saw that although it was not new, and it looked a little broken and ugly, but it was hard to walk without leaving the stove in the cold winter.
"Are these yellow-skinned bastards really capable of doing it, or is Cierta really that rich now?" Hu Manshahi slumped into a chair in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, and his speech had become weak. "What do you guys think about this?"
"President." Zahn, who had been deflated yesterday, was now refreshed and able to talk and laugh and talk - I don't know if it was because he had recovered from a good night's sleep or because he was gloating. "The first problem now is that you have to stabilize that cripple in the cockroach horn and let him confess to you."
"You mean...... Humanshahi tapped the arm of his chair with his knuckles, and then stood up. Not only did that guy take my job and not do it to the end, but he also planned to sell me too? β
"Otherwise, what else does he want your seal for? Have fun watching it? That's not quite right, right? There are only two families in this city, and the lord who has nothing now is considered one family before, so we used to have to beg those poor people to do things so lowly, right? β
Hu Manxiaxi can be said to have understood. In his eyes, yesterday's Barranham was probably just cautious. Wake up Zahn today, and he can understand what the hell this lame man in the slum is doing.
"Then Zann, tell me, what kind of stabilization method should be?" Humanshahi did not reveal his immediate fear, but his question did tell the businessmen in front of him a fact that Zahn's fears were justified.
"There is no way to know that there is no way to be affectionate, and those poor people have always hated the rich and are not on good terms with us. In my opinion, there is only one way to do it. But if you can hold him back, you won't be able to hold him down, but not everyone else who knows you've asked him to do something. β
As soon as Zahn said that, he got up and left.
"I'm not done yetβ" Hu Manshahi stood up with some confusion. "Zahn, where are you going?"
"You see, that's my answer." Zahn tugged on the leash he was wearing and made a nice goodbye salute. "My family business is small, I don't have many things, and I can't sell food, at least I can make my own dry bread and take it to eat on the road. I can't stay in this city anymore, so I'll tell you a few words of truth now. President, I don't know if I should speak or not? β
Hu Manxiaxi only felt that the world was spinning, and a mouthful of old blood climbed up sweetly from his lungs. After a long pause, he squeezed a few words out of his trachea:
"But to say...... Anyway. β
"It's useless for you to hold everyone down. As long as you are not willing to sell the grain to them at the price taken by the central government of Elta, even if you pour it into the water, they will have 100,000 or even a million ways to make it difficult for the Hazelal Chamber of Commerce to move forward, or even stay in. You have to know that this country, this world, can be regarded as changing. β
With that, Zahn held his stomach without looking back, and strode out of the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
