Chapter 97: Justice
But Magnolia's analysis is correct.
Jing Zhengwei had the idea of 'praying mantis catching cicadas' from the beginning.
Don't refuse, don't take the initiative, don't admit it, Jing Zhengwei not only wants to take advantage of the interests, but also wants to set up the archway of chastity, which can be said to be an old capitalist. He is like a team leader who has not done his homework, and after the same table finishes copying the homework, he reports it to the teacher, and takes the opportunity to take away the homework book of the same table and copy it for himself.
From the very beginning, when Jing Zhengwei noticed that Magnolia was colluding with the fleet, he had already given a death sentence to Magnolia and did not plan to keep Magnolia. But as the saying goes, make the best use of things, don't if you can't hold it, anyway, the Magnolia pig is killed early, and it is killed late, so why not kill it after fattening?
Jing Zhengwei's original plan was to wait for Magnolia and them to trade two more times to wipe them out, and his judgment of Magnolia's group was still very accurate - when they were ready to enjoy the glory and wealth of the golden basin, Jing Zhengwei would take their golden basin and send them to surrender.
This is the boss's love for his employees.
Of course, on the surface, of course, the 'slave trade' will not be used as a reason, after all, it is not illegal, and there are several chambers of commerce that make a fortune from this. Jing Zhengwei plans to twist them to the Silver Blood Society in the name of 'colluding to defraud capitalists', and as for how the Silver Blood Society will use them, it has nothing to do with Jing Zhengwei, a law-abiding entrepreneur who is clear and clean.
Le Yu sighed faintly.
"Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy. And you didn't impress me either. β
Magnolia immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to be the pawn of the son, and get all the benefits for the son, without damaging the son's wings." β
Hearing this, Hei Qi also knelt down, Old Man Wu paused, and slowly knelt down, only Baolong, whose head was still bleeding, scolded loudly: "The money has been robbed, you still want to be a dog for him!?" You're not cheap! β
Le Yu was also a little curious: "Don't you think I'll throw you as a scapegoat sooner or later?" Why are you still willing to do things for me? β
"When the world is different, things are different, and when things are different, they are ready to change." Magnolia said calmly: "Doesn't Childe covet the profits of the slave trade? Childe is in an embarrassing situation in the Jing family, and only a large amount of money can make Childe have more chips in the battle for the head of the family. β
"Since Childe chose to have a showdown with us at this time, it means that Childe is no longer satisfied with a one-time harvest, but needs a safe, reliable, and endless gold mine. As long as we continue to 'hide' from Childe in the slave trade, and I prepare a yin-yang ledger to clear Childe's suspicions, then Childe will be able to make a lot of profits without losing his reputation. β
Baolong shook his head, looked at Bai Yulan and the others and scolded: "You guys are crazy, what's the difference between you doing this and kneeling to ask for food?" And you can live by kneeling to ask for food, you do this means that the money is all his, but the pot is all ours, you are kneeling and eating like this! Eat! β
Le Yu didn't speak, but his expression was obviously very much in agreement with Baolong's opinion.
Magnolia shook her head: "The Skyrim Civil War will last for at least two or three years, and in these two or three years, no one knows what will happen, and as long as the Skyrim Civil War does not end one day, Childe will be able to use us one day." The most important thing is that even if the son drinks soup and eats meat, the juice flowing from his fingers is also a wealth that we can't earn for decades. β
Le Yu asked, "But these are all mirrors after all, once there are signs of unity in the sky, your fate will be extremely miserable." β
"Not necessarily," Magnolia seemed unconcerned, "Even if the civil war in the sky subsides, the unified warlord may be a good friend of the Silver Blood Society." We slave traders are just nice to the rulers, not necessities, and the Silver Blood doesn't necessarily need these 'gifts'. β
"And, as Skadi's shine grows, we might be able to find a foothold in Skadi. Childe, have you ever thought that those most unruly Skyrim people now have to commit themselves to the natives of Skadi in order to survive, but when the days go by, won't they have a different heart? β
Le Yu was shocked in his heart, this is an angle that Jing Zhengwei has never thought of.
Yes, Skadi is a vast and sparsely populated land, and a slave trader like this one is almost the equivalent of migrating for Skyrim. When the number of Skyrim people reaches a certain level, it is the moment when the Skadi landlord ushers in a counterattack.
But what does that have to do with you? You are just a slave trader, and those Skyrim people are definitely no less 'grateful' to you than they are to Lord Skadi. β
"Hatred is not eternal, only interests are eternal." Magnolia smiled: "Childe, when the inter-heavenly civil war ends, there will inevitably be exiled warlords, right?" β
Hearing this, many people were stunned, and Leyu blinked: "Do you want to ......?"
"Yes, as Childe thought. If I can assist the exiled warlords to reach Skadi, free the Skyrim slaves, or even further establish a regime in Skadi that belongs to the Radiant Skyrim......"
Magnolia's eyes were full of madness: "When the time comes, I will be the guest of honor of the Skyrim and the Silver Blood Society, and as for my past slave traders, I will only be recorded by the historians as 'a conscientious merchant who assisted the people of Skyrim in escaping'." The black will become white, and the merchants will become officials, and history will be written by those who live to the end. β
First, the population was transported through the slave trade, and then the army was transported to liberate the slaves to set off an uprising war, and to gain status benefits from the war...... Such a whimsical idea, I was stunned when I heard it.
Jing Zhengwei only saw the first layer at the beginning, thinking that the magnolia was on the second layer, but he didn't expect the magnolia to be on the fifth layer!
Magnolia turned her head to look at the crew and said loudly: "You sea mongrels, you are willing to live so that people are not people, and ghosts are not ghosts?" Don't you want to live like a noble lord, with fine clothes and food every day, marry seven or eight wives, give birth to a bunch of sons, and when you go out, others will respect you, not like now...... Do you think those bosses, guys, and girls are smiling at you all over your face, and they are respecting you? No! They know that you are a bunch of dead leftovers with no tomorrow today, they just laugh at the money in your hands, and they will make fun of you when you die! β
The crew members were enthusiastically surged by Magnolia's words, and even Baolong did not refute it, and Old Man Wu smiled bitterly.
"There is no room for us to live in Xuanzhu County, unless you are willing to live like ants. If you want to be a big man, if you want to open your mouth and stretch out your hand, then you have to work hard! Go gamble your life! β
"Anyone will gamble on their lives, but many people don't even have the opportunity to gamble, and this is the opportunity I found for you - swear allegiance to the son, the wealth will return to the son, and the fate will be waited for by me!"
Magnolia looked at Le Yu: "Childe, we lost the bet, you have no loss, and you enjoy all the benefits; And if we win, you'll also get a loyal overseas ally. Of course, even if I say anything in return, Childe, you will definitely fart me. But Skadi and Dongyang District across the sea, trade is frequent, if one day, Magnolia governs Skadi, and Gongzi becomes the head of the Jing family, we are natural allies in the shopping mall, and our interests are more stable than all agreements. β
"So, please trust my determinationβ"
"Not only for the interests of Childe, but also for the future of our wait, I am willing to be Childe's pawn!"
The other crew members knelt down one after another, and even Baolong was no longer domineering, and everyone said in unison: "I am willing to be the pawn of the son!" β
The sound echoed in the warehouse, the guards looked at each other, and the tense atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed, and many people secretly put down their guns, even Mi Die and Lisan put down their guns.
They thought it might be a bloody night tonight, but they didn't expect it to be a happy ending.
Leyu looked at every crew member, not seeing hatred in their eyes, only unwillingness in their fiery eyes.
Even Baolong's eyes were hot, even if his contempt for Le Yu was undisguised, but his desire was more sincere.
"Your plan, too many parts that need to be left to chance." He said quietly, "Let's not mention my actions...... What if there are no exiled warlords for the peaceful reunification of the inter-Japanese zone? What if the first-class deceased is not strong enough? What if the intermittent people hate you? What if Skadi's repression was extremely violent? What if everything is the worst way to go? β
"That's my life." Magnolia clenched her fists and said, "Of course, the actual plan will be more detailed, and I will also look for my 'partner' in advance." But as Childe said, there are only three points in the whole plan that we can work on, and the other seven points are left to fate to arrange. β
"But I don't have a choice, I don't have any other leverage at all except to gamble my own bad life."
Leyu: "From the beginning, you went for Skadi? β
Magnolia nodded: "Yes." Even if Childe doesn't find out, I'll confess my thoughts to them. This money is not enough for us to buy a position in the Candle County and want to get ahead, only Skadi is our way out. β
Le Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "But if from the beginning, you didn't collude with the fleet to carry out the slave trade, but became a supervisor in Weiling with peace of mind, then you can live a peaceful life without gambling your life." β
Bai Yulan looked at Le Yu in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "Childe, you shouldn't have investigated my past, right?" β
"I used to be an orphan, but I was lucky enough to be adopted by a mother-in-law and lived a quiet life for a few years. I was adopted with several other children, one of whom was Black Flag, who was a few years older than me. β
Everyone looked at the taciturn Black Flag, and they knew why Black Flag would rather offend Baolong and unconditionally support Magnolia's decision.
"Later, my mother-in-law's son had gambling debts, the house was confiscated, my mother-in-law was killed, and our children were displaced to find a way out. I'm actually okay, because I look okay, I entered a big family as a concubine, and I even received a good education. β
"Later, when I got older, the young master who was waiting also married his wife, and the lady didn't like me, and the young master let me leave freely after many years of love. After a few years of confusion, I almost contracted smoke fetish, and then I encountered the black flag, and then I took the initiative to come to work at Weiling. β
"As Childe said, my life is quite peaceful, and my life is not bad, Black Flag has been much worse than me over the years." Magnolia shrugged: "It's just this calm, it's the calm of the wind and the sun." β
"We grass fall when the wind comes, the fire comes and it is barren, the rain comes and it floods, and the snow comes and buries it. When the weather is good, we can still live peacefully, and when the weather is bad, we disappear and no one will remember us...... Because the next year there will be new grass to grow. β
"In this world, most people are grass, a few people eat grass, and Childe ...... You eat meat. β
Le Yu shook his head: "Those who eat meat are also worried, you see that the Jing family is now a wolf's lair and tiger's den that fights each other." β
Magnolia exhaled softly: "Childe, there are many risks when you eat meat, but it is always much better than the grass that is accidentally trampled to death by a wild beast." β
"Childe, I just hope that one day I can live like you...... Like a person. β
Immediately, the barn fell silent.
Even the sailor who was shot through the hand didn't speak, stayed aside to bandage his wounds, and looked expectantly at Magnolia and Leyu.
Is this the gathering of like...... Yin Minghong thought to himself.
Under the command of a person like Jing Zhengwei, every subordinate is an ambitious conspirator. Even Yin Minghong had to admit that although Magnolia's plan was very outrageous, it did have the possibility of success, and the return on income would be thousands of times.
Jing Zhengwei had no reason to refuse at all, he asked for money, he didn't lose his name, and even invested in a future Skadi warlord - although the chances are slim, but once he succeeds, maybe Jing Zhengwei can still leave a good story in the history books...... Ha!
And Magnolia didn't blindly plead, he said as he encouraged the crew to bind everyone to himself. What's more, he also deliberately revealed his special relationship with the chief captain Black Flag, so that Jing Zhengwei would be even more unlikely to deal with him.
Otherwise, once the fish dies and the net is broken, Jing Zhengwei will lose the entire fleet, and the loss will be immeasurable. Even if it is a rat bogeyman, Jing Zhengwei will inevitably choose to cooperate with them, not to mention that Magnolia gives so many steps for Jing Zhengwei to go down, so that everyone has face, which can be described as a win-win situation.
Yin Minghong thought that Jing Zhengwei would usher in a wave of weakening tonight, but he didn't expect Jing Zhengwei to be strengthened!
Damn, why are they struggling in the middle of the night, but it is a profiteer like Jing Zhengwei who has a smooth sail like God?
Could it be that this world is really murder and arson, set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and repair roads, and there are no corpses?
Could it be that a slave trader could live a prosperous and prosperous life and be in a high position?
I don't know how long later, they heard Childe Yoyo say:
"Get up. Since you want to live like a person, don't kneel down so easily. β
The crew members were overjoyed and hurriedly stood up, and some even couldn't help but pick up the wine bottle next to them and laugh loudly. The guards also relaxed, sincerely happy for Childe.
"Gongzi Xie!" Bai Yulan stood up and hugged her fists to thank her, Black Flag and Old Man Wu followed suit, and even Baolong hurriedly put on a nondescript etiquette.
Le Yu walked up to Magnolia, patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Second master, come here!" β
Yin Minghong pointed at himself in surprise and walked over in confusion.
Could it be that Jing Zhengwei wants me to join the fleet?
Or do you want me to go to the Skyrim District to recruit?
Or just let me go to Skadi and wait for the opportunity to help Magnolia and them raise the flag to revolt?
Yin Minghong's mind turned a thousand thoughts, but there was no expression on his face, he walked up to Le Yu and asked, "Childe, what do you command?" β
"This is Yin Minghong, the second master of the Red Moon, and these are Magnolia, Black Flag, Old Man Wu and Baolong." Le Yu introduced it and said to Yin Minghong: "Second master, I have something to ask you." β
Yin Minghong put on a posture of attention: "Dare not obey your fate." β
"That's right."
Le Yu pressed Yin Minghong's shoulder with his left hand, and pulled out the long knife at Yin Minghong's waist with his right hand.
Zheng β
When the blade slashed across her neck, Magnolia was still immersed in passionate excitement. Although there are many difficulties in the future, although this gamble is extremely risky, he finally has the opportunity to become a chess player.
He believes in his ability, even if he can't live for a hundred years, at least he can spell out a vigorous ending!
So no one wanted it.
No one could react.
By the time they came to their senses, Magnolia's beautiful head had already flown up, and there was still a smile of anticipation on her face.
"Kill these first evildoers." Le Yu threw the knife back to Yin Minghong, and Yin Minghong subconsciously caught it.
The boisterous laughter came to an abrupt end.
The guards raised their guns again and aimed them at the crew.
Midie and Lisan quickly came to Leyu's side.
"Why?" Black Flag caught Magnolia's corpse, looked directly at Le Yu's back with his eyes, and asked everyone the question they wanted to know the most in a gloomy voice.
Obviously, as long as he agreed, Jing Zhengwei would be able to take all the advantages without taking any risks, and even invested in a bright one for Ali. And killing them will only end up with a heavy loss.
Jing Zhengwei didn't have any reason to refuse, why was this happening?
"Why?" Leyu stopped.
Because Jing Zhengwei's memory reminds me that Magnolia has a backbone, and it must not be kept, otherwise it will be a matter of time;
Because the prestige of the black flag is too high, keeping him will only make the fleet disagree, and it is difficult to control;
Because......
Because even if you want to live like a person, you can't treat others as people.
The earth of silver and blood will only give birth to the flower of evil.
Jing Zhengwei is.
Magnolia too.
Bong-jin too.
Just like Bong Zhen of the human trafficking group, Bai Magnolia embarked on this road, they didn't have no choice, in fact, they had a choice, just like Bong Zhen could choose to escape with others, Bai Magnolia could also choose to settle down in Weiling Haimao.
But they feel that this world is not so kind that they can choose the path that is calmer and does not need to hurt people.
After many years of fighting with the world, the valuable experience they have gained is telling them:
They must hurt others in a way that they can survive.
Le Yu didn't judge them from above, he didn't have the qualifications.
He just wants to do it for those who have been hurt,
Just looking for justice.
Le Yu turned his head, glanced at them, and said nonchalantly:
"I, Jing Zhengwei, act with integrity, why do I need to explain it to others?"
