Shui Rou'er has actually had a hard time these days, and the people of the Shui family are not having a good time in Fortress Town. Although mainstream public opinion says that these tragedies were caused by the Yunmeng City-State and its mercenaries, inside Fort Town, through the accounts of the survivors of that encounter, the Shui family is the source of this tragedy.

Shui Rouer didn't believe this, she also asked around, but the more she asked, the more confused she became; She also communicated with her grandmother for the first time, but her grandmother's words were the same as those of the mainstream media. Although her grandmother never lied to her, Shui Rouer doesn't know who to trust now.

Everything seemed to be clear tonight, so after the initial shock, she didn't choose to resist or splash and roll, but only made a request, to be kind to all the people of the Shui family who were imprisoned.

Ke Junxia agreed, and he promised that everyone in the camp would be provided with a bed and two meals a day, and if they were willing to participate in controlled labor, they would have to get an extra meal.

Shui Rou'er has matured a lot recently, and seeing that Ke Junxia had already said this, she smiled bitterly and let Gongsun Shu's subordinates handcuff her.

After taking Shui Rou'er away, Ke Junxia was silent for a while, and then said to everyone: "I've been groggy these days, in fact, I'm not completely unconscious, sometimes I can feel that some of you come to see me and talk to me, I want to answer you and talk to you, but I can't move, I can't open my mouth, this nightmare-like state is really uncomfortable." ”

Ke Junxia said, paused a little, he looked at everyone's expressions, and everyone seemed to empathize, so he smiled and continued: "But this state is also beneficial, losing the right to accuse the body, and the extra energy is focused on the brain, and there are some things that I haven't figured out, but I actually figured it out." ”

As he spoke, he propped his hands on the table, and struggled to stand up again, saying, "They never gave up. ”

Ke Junxia's tone was firm, but no one understood what he meant, only Irina, who nodded slightly.

Ke Junxia was a little out of breath, Yu Niang served him tea, he took a small sip, Hina helped him wipe his chest a few times to help him adjust his breath, Ke Junxia smiled at them, and then continued: "I thought wrong before, we all thought wrong, and most of the people in the metropolis thought wrong. ”

Irina persuaded: "Xiao Ke, you better sit and talk, save some energy, you don't belong to yourself now." ”

Ke Junxia was very persuasive this time, he sat down, adjusted his breathing, and then said: "I think things are too simple, just thinking that the great nobles of the metropolis will not take the responsibility of saving the metropolis, it is selfish and irresponsible. They had the financial strength to allow their families to move to other city-states and continue to be their wealthy families. ”

"But we are all wrong, although the metropolis is a commercial city, and even the highest authority is called the board of directors, but he is still political after all, after all, exchanging political rights for commercial interests is the embodiment of maximizing interests, if these people move to other city-states, they will only have commercial means, how to maximize benefits? So they will not give up political power until they die. ”

When Ke Junxia said this, everyone present seemed to have a sudden realization, but they had only just been woken up, so they used their eyes to encourage Ke Junxia to continue.

"Power, what a good thing, dissatisfied with you, I have also lost it, and I have enjoyed it, it is really enjoyable to be able to control power, to control the life and death of others and rations. So they never thought about giving up. ”

"But the impending catastrophe of the metropolis has reduced their credibility to the lowest point, and if they want to regain the trust of the people, they must become heroes again, and there is no easier way to become a hero than to start a war."

"The Grand Board of Directors first took the initiative to squeeze its own powers, leaving the Met in a manageable mess. Man is such a creature that, once in turmoil, will be reminded of the previous peaceful season, even if that season was full of deception, oppression and exploitation. ”

"They first have to build a hero, that is to say, there is still a person in the five major families who is dedicated to the sake of the ordinary citizens of the metropolis, and this is the Shui family. The Shui family vowed to eliminate the catastrophe of the metropolis, and they had three options: pressure wells, artificial earthquakes, and the Grand Canal. In the end, they chose the Grand Canal. ”

"The Grand Canal project can gather a large number of green forms, and more importantly, it can intensify the contradiction with Yunmeng City-State; But in reality, two other plans are also in use; pressure wells, which are used to create a large and stable rear; Artificial earthquakes can create a crisis in a planned and step-by-step manner, driving young people to the Grand Canal construction site, and these young people are the future strategic corps. ”

"That's right, the peasants of Yunmeng City-State are also very fierce, and they have more elite mercenaries, but the history of the Earth period has proven time and again that no matter how elite an army is, it is not worth a locust-like army that survives to the death."

"Yes, this is the plan of the Metropolis's nobles, they will occupy the Yunmeng City-State with the slogan of leading the people to survive, they will become heroes and leaders again, and the bravest people in the metropolis will also die in the war, and the rest of the people will be extremely easy to rule because of gratitude."

"At that time, the great nobles will still do business, and this time it is a real grain business, Yunmeng City-State provides 40% of the food for the whole world, and these profits are enough for them to continue to live a luxurious and lascivious life. If it goes well, the ruins of the metropolis will still be ruled by them, two territories, this is a really good calculation. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Ke Junxia was very tired, he leaned back on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

Everyone in the meeting looked at each other, and no one knew what to say next.

After a long while, the living dead man in charge of the order outside the wall said cautiously: "Your Excellency, there are many rumors outside the wall now, and there are also many people from the media to inquire about the news, of course, all of them are like that, what should we do?" ”

Ke Junxia didn't open his eyes, he put the back of his right hand on his forehead, and said: "We also have our own media, but we can't fight the mainstream, in this way, we don't admit everything about the mainstream media, but what the truth is, we don't say, anyway, no one will believe it, and if you don't say it, someone will go to find out the truth." But there are some nasty people, you are responsible for blowing them away, it's too messy now, so don't let anyone make a mess of it. ”

The living dead nodded and said, 'I understand.' ’

Ke Junxia suddenly remembered something, and asked Yu Niang to hand over a sketch and needs in front of him to the living dead, and said: "You see if there are any sculptors outside the wall, ask them if they can do this, if they can do it, please ask Manida to go through the entry procedures, you can bring four immediate family members, and the treatment is good." ”

Both the Living Dead and Manida nodded in agreement.

Ke Junxia said to Leng Feng again: "You now take over the position of Coconut, train an army for me, I will give you two weeks, to be a real army, proficient in explosives and raids, but also secrets." ”

Irina asked, "What do you want the army for?" ”

Ke Junxia asked rhetorically: "Have I been asleep for the past few days with an earthquake?" ”

Lin Quan replied: 'It happened twice, and one of them was larger, causing the water level to rise and spread another 150 meters. ’

Ke Junxia sneered: "I feel it too." At this time, many people defected to the construction site of the Grand Canal. ”

Lin Quan said: "Actually, there are people everywhere, but the people who go to the Grand Canal are young and enthusiastic people. ”

Ke Junxia said: "It's about the same as I guessed." ”

"Not almost." Irina suddenly said, "That's exactly right. ”

Ke Junxia smiled: "You already knew. ”

Irina nodded and said, "Yes, if you live as long as I do, you will know everything." ”

She spoke, pausing for a moment, as if reminiscing about the distant past, and finally said: "Back then, I made an agreement with the Cannon God that the Naga clan would exist as the guardians of the Metropolis, and eventually all of them would regain their human form through surgery, medicine, or their own cultivation, and reintegrate into human society, but then the Cannon God died, and the Metropolis broke the contract, and our relationship became what it is now." ”

After Irina said this, she took out a small box from her handbag, pushed it to Ke Junxia and said, "I found a little more evidence, you may be able to use it in the future." ”

Ke Junxia opened the box, and inside the box was a deformed warhead.

"This was found in the mouth of a coconut, where the bullet changed direction when it encountered resistance when it penetrated the skull and was blocked by the teeth," Irina explained. ”

Ke Junxia looked at the warhead and frowned.

Irina added: "Judging from the autopsy, it was a close-range kill, and the murderer fired almost a shot at the head of Coconut. Coconut is a good fighter, and no one has a chance to kill her at such a close distance, which means that the allies did it. ”

Ke Junxia said: "Take it for a ballistics test, maybe we can find the owner of the gun, we repaired a batch of guns and sent it to Mrs. Shui." ”

Irina said: "I have already done it, God be merciful, the owner of this gun also participated in the convoy that attacked us, was killed, and the gun was captured. ”

Ke Junxia said lightly: "Very good." Lin Quan, help me find a lawyer and write a complaint, which I will file in court to accuse Mrs. Water of murdering Coconut. ”

Lawsuit?

This surprised everyone, and they thought that Ke Junxia would immediately start organizing retaliation. And what is the use of litigation, even if the lawsuit is won, who will enforce the judgment?

Ke Junxia saw everyone's puzzlement, smiled bitterly and stretched out his arm to look at everyone, and said, "You see the way I look now, I can only do this." Also, I'm still waiting for something, maybe in a day or two. ”

Since the day after this meeting, Ke Junxia began to frequently meet with representatives of various organizations and city-state condolence groups, and every time he vomited bitterness, he also showed obvious madness.

Fortunately, everyone also knew that Coconut was once his lover, and Coconut's tragic death was indeed embarrassing, so everyone forgave Ke Junxia for his powerlessness, and at the same time agreed that he was no longer fit to continue to be the leader of Fortress Town.

The development of the situation has indeed confirmed everyone's speculation, the executive meeting is gradually taking over the power, and Ke Junxia has only been left behind for a sabbatical treatment.
