"Hehehehe...... Earl Dave smiled a little contemptuously, "bribing Huang Yanyan, kidnapping Chen Yaxuan, and killing two old men, do you have anything to do with status?" β
Su Xiao shook her head and said lightly: "Huang Yanyan has already told everything she knows, the owner of the villa seems to have done a lot, but in the final analysis, he just wants me to die." Buying Huang Yanyan is to get my information, kidnapping Chen Yaxuan is to make me uneasy, and killing the two old men is the meeting gift you promised Huang Yanyan, isn't it? β
Earl Dave hurriedly shirked it, "You can't eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I haven't met Huang Yanyan before, and I haven't promised her anything, don't wronged a good person!" β
Su Xiao smiled noncommittally, "If it weren't for my narcissism, now in this Peacock City, I should be the person with the highest voice to replace Captain Simon, right?" Let's talk about narcissism again, who is the position of city lord, maybe it's just a matter of my words? β
"Didn't we say the last time we met, if you don't join any camp, I'll be okay with you." Earl Dave said confidently: "With my reputation among the people, I don't need anyone's help to knock that corrupt ** Marshall family from the top of Peacock City into the abyss!" β
"At first glance, it seems like this, but when you think about it, is it really so?" Su Xiao said a puzzle that had plagued him for a long time: "Earl Dave has a dignified appearance, outstanding temperament, and a good reputation among the people for his enthusiasm and clean sleeves, so why is it that Captain Simon, Captain Alexander, and even Archbishop Langdon, the object of their friendship and allegiance is the current city lord?" β
Su Xiao's words obviously hit Earl Dave's sore spot, and he couldn't help but clench his fists with shame and indignation, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's because they have eyes and no beads!" β
Su Xiao ignored Earl Dave's anger and continued: "I have done some understanding in private, under the divine punishment of the legendary God, the number of employed and unemployed people in the world is about half equal. Based on this, if you look at the relationship between you and the castle lord, you can see something interesting. β
"At the end of the year, Peacock Villas is going to run for a new city lord, I heard that it is decided by the whole city vote?" Su Xiao asked and replied to himself: "Let's not mention the reason why Captain Simon and others value the city lord and ignore the earl, judging from the number of people with and without office, it is not difficult to see that most of the people with positions will vote for the current city lord under the call of the three major regiments and one major sect." At the same time, the Count is in charge of the city's economic trends, and has led the vast majority of the unemployed on the road to prosperity, so the votes of most of the unemployed people should be given to you, right? β
Earl Dave looked at Su Xiao's eyes, and then at the head on the table, he vaguely knew what Su Xiao wanted to say.
The other party didn't speak, Su Xiao directly opened the skylight and said brightly: "Theoretically, the votes of both of you are basically equal, and the reason why you are confident that you can pull the Marshall family off the horse is nothing more than that more than 9o% of the unemployed will support you, but the incumbent who will vote for the city lord can only account for 8o%, 7o%, or lower." But you never thought that because of the beast tide, a large number of brave people were summoned to the city, and they appeared directly in the castle of the Marshall family, which is equivalent to putting a question mark on the voting results that have almost become facts. β
"Most of the people of the court look down on the brave, and Monsieur Count needs no rebuttal, as I can see from the eyes of the knights. However, for those residents who were not members of the court, whether they were employed or unemployed, the word 'brave' carried great weight in their hearts. β
"In a populous city like Peacock Villas, the proportion of court people is too insignificant, and a large proportion of votes are actually in the hands of non-court people." After laying out the facts and reasoning, Su Xiao summed up his statement: "To sum up, the position of the brave will become an important watershed for who will be the next city lord!" β
"I have said that I will never be under the command of the city lord, so Mr. Earl should not want to kill me, but the real problem is that my relationship with Captain Simon, Captain Alexander, and others is really good." Su Xiao said helplessly: "You may not have heard of the word love house and black, translated from the vernacular, it probably means that a person likes a house, so he has to like the crow that builds a nest on the eaves." β
Su Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Isn't that what you think in your heart?" Captain Simon and Captain Alexander were already in Peacock City, and with the addition of me, the appeal was absolutely amazing. Even though I've pledged absolute neutrality, you're still worried that I'm getting too close to the people under the Lord's command and that my vote will be affected. In that case, killing me will do you no good! β
Listening to Su Xiao's statement, Earl Dave's face became more and more ugly, "Say, what else, finish it in one breath." β
Su Xiao was very satisfied with the change in Earl Dave, nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Earl is a smart person, a smart person knows how to plan for a rainy day, and he will definitely not start to think of a way when things are coming." In fact, since the first day we crossed into this world, you have been trying to destroy the connection between the brave and the castle lord, haven't you? β
Su Xiao pointed to the pale head on the table and said, "At first, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but it wasn't until Qiao Yefei pointed out the identity of this person this morning that I suddenly realized. At that time, he was still serving as the messenger of the city lord, helping the city lord spread some shameless news, and I happened to pass by, and taught him a lesson, beating him into a remnant of blood and teaching him to be a man. As a result, just as I was about to leave, someone in the crowd actually intended to kill Qiao Yefei, thanks to Chen Yaxuan's quick eyes, she didn't cause a tragedy, otherwise she would have fulfilled Mr. Earl's wish. β
Earl Dave said expressionlessly: "The brave man hosts a bad thing for the city, once it arouses the anger of the people, it will do me a lot of good, why should I find someone to assassinate the brave?" β
"Isn't that the magic of you?" Su Xiao's words broke Earl Dave's thoughts.
"As you said, it is good for you that the brave man is hosting a bad thing for the city, so no one will think that the murderer was instructed by you, this is one thing. Second, once Qiao Yefei really dies of public anger, then what brave man will be willing to stand behind the city lord and do things for him? In this way, in a few days, the brave will completely draw a line with the Marshall family, and when the time comes, isn't it the best time for Mr. Earl to accept them on behalf of justice? β
"It won't arouse suspicion, and you can hold a lot of votes in your hands......" Su Xiao squinted his eyes and said word by word: "What a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone!" (To be continued.) )
