Chapter 171: A Little Hope

The note was dropped on Degerst's chest by Zhou Mo, and the piece of paper hit the pure gold alloy breastplate, making a sound of gold and iron. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Degerst took a step back, dissolved the power on the note, took the note in his hand and looked at it, his face suddenly relaxed, and he secretly felt that the adults were making a fuss, just some unarmed civilians, these people have nothing to fear, the army will enter and be wiped out immediately.

"My lord, it seems that my lord doesn't need to be angry about this matter. ”

Zhou Mo glared at Dergerst, how long has this Dergerst been, and he still hasn't grown, how can this kind of thing be measured by combat power?

"Degest, the Holy Cross Territory is on the side of the common people, if all the people who are making a fuss in the city at this time are Mithril Essence Gold, or even mysterious beings, Ben Jue will not be so angry!"

"However, it is precisely because it is the unarmed civilians who are making trouble now that Ben Jue is cold behind his back!"

Degerst was stunned, looking at the cold killing intent flashing in Zhou Mo's black eyes, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"I want to return to Mocheng immediately, you are here to coordinate the cooperation between the army and the merchants, don't slack off, Ben Jue ordered, the army needs to be moved at any time!"

bowed down to receive the order, and when he looked up again, Zhou Mo had already disappeared.

Degerst frowned and thought for a while, barely understanding the meaning of Zhou Mo's words, and then shook his head helplessly, muttering in a low voice:

"Damn politics, Degest, I'd better take my army. ”

The note instantly turned into ashes in Degst's hands, and although Degerst had always been tired of political things, he still had a minimum sense of secrecy.

Zhou Mo's figure appeared in the study of the Mocheng City Lord's Mansion, Mina was anxiously waiting in the study, and when she saw Zhou Mo appear, her face was happy, and she said:

"My lord, you have finally returned, those merchants and landlords, I don't know what is crazy, they dare to block the gate of the city lord's mansion, if it is not for Ren Nian to stop it, Lord Cullen will order to kill. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mo nodded at Mina, signaling that he knew, and then said:

"Ren Nian did the right thing, pass the news to the fat man, let him restrain his subordinates, and never make a move on civilians!"

"In addition, tell the guards to only block, and when necessary, you can do it, but you must not hurt anyone!"

Mina got Zhou Mo's order, and she had the backbone, and immediately went down to convey the order.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, a group of small businessmen and small landlords wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes were all full of anger and constantly slammed into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Let's go in, we want to see the lord!"

"Rush in, see the lord, you must not just let those administrative officials go. ”

"They don't dare to move, don't be afraid, rush in!"

In the midst of the uproar, there are constantly several highly inflammatory voices adding fuel to the fire, agitating the emotions of the majority of the people.

The fat man led two teams of weeds to hide in an alley outside the city lord's mansion, watching the most happy people with cold eyes.

turned around and said coldly:

"Do you see clearly?"

The weed field captain who led the team nodded and said respectfully:

"You can see clearly, as long as the adults give the order, you can immediately find out all these people. ”

The fat man's originally honest face was cold at this time.

"This group of people is too presumptuous, listen to my orders......"

Before he finished speaking, the miniature teleportation array in the fat man's arms lit up, the fat man frowned, took out the note and looked at it, and saw that it was written:

"Your Excellency has returned, and the order must not be used against civilians. ”

The fat man raised his eyes, glanced coldly at the merchants and landlords who were gathering more and more, constantly impacting the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and snorted coldly:

"The order is canceled, but it's time to keep an eye on it. ”

Among the weeds, obeying orders does not ask much, these two are iron laws that are absolutely not allowed to be violated, not to mention that the person who gave the order was still Lord Kulun, who was the commander of the weeds, and the weeds field team leader naturally bowed down to obey orders.

"You're staring here. ”

With a command, the fat man went around the alley to the side of the city lord's mansion and jumped over the wall.

Ren Nian stood inside the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and the Holy Cross Knights' guards outside, their battle armor was cleaned up, standing in a vertical row, letting those civilians rush and not move.

Standing with his hands in his hands, looking at these civilians who were making more and more trouble, Ren Nian's keen political sense made him feel that something was wrong.

A little maid walked quickly behind Ren Nian, bowed, and then whispered:

"Lord Ren, Lord Lord is back. ”

Ren Nian was shocked, turned around and left.

A moment later, Ren Nian and the fat man stood in front of Zhou Mo together.

"Boss, things outside are getting bigger and bigger, at the beginning, it was just some medium-sized businessmen who gambled on the Ministry of Government, but now, even small businessmen and peddlers and yeoman farmers have made trouble, and they really let it go?"

The fat man has been getting more and more capable lately, and in a word, he has made the information clear and expressed his attitude.

Zhou Mo glanced at the fat man coldly, and the fat man lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, Ren Nian said:

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, my subordinates feel that behind these people, there seems to be someone pushing them. ”

The fat man was warned by Zhou Mo and didn't dare to talk to Zhou Mo anymore, but Ren Nian still didn't have any scruples, and said:

"Lao Ren, isn't this nonsense, it's no wonder that there is no one behind this scale of trouble. ”

Speaking of this, the fat man had a bottom in his heart, and with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, he said to Zhou Mo:

"Boss, I have all the weeds and field staff keep an eye on them, and the people who are constantly agitating in the crowd have already been noted, as long as they give an order, none of these people can escape. ”

Hearing these words, Zhou Mo's gaze at the fat man eased, but he still sighed and said:

"Even if you cover it up, you can't catch it, and if you catch it, it will follow some people's minds, at least not now. ”

The fat man's eyes rolled and he whispered:

"Boss, don't worry, since these people are in the eyes of the weeds, they won't be able to run away at any time. ”

Zhou Mo didn't say anything, but he was also silent, obviously acquiescing to the fat man's words.

Ren Nian glanced at the fat man coldly, and said:

"My lord, these are all later words, and now this situation, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will get more and more intense!"

glanced at Ren Nian, Ren Nian's whole body trembled, and he only felt that all the thoughts in his heart were seen through by this glance.

Zhou Mo laughed nonchalantly, then turned around the case and sat down.

He can see Ren Nian's mind clearly, and it is nothing more than that from this incident, he saw a glimmer of vitality to keep the government affairs system he established.

Someone used the Holy Cross invitation incident to stir up the contradiction between the commoners and the government official system, and faintly misled this contradiction into a contradiction between Zhou Mo, who was the lord, and the civilian class he relied on.

Put Zhou Mo in an extremely embarrassing situation, if he suppresses the civilians, he will fight his own mouth, and if he does not suppress the civilians, the authority of the lord will be shaken.

It's a dilemma.

Zhou Mo looked at the south, where there was a world-class and independent woman, and she must be holding the Zhizhu at this time.

Ruiwen-Nalong wants to see Zhou Mo's jokes and wants to shake Zhou Mo's rule from the inside.

As for Ren Nian, he wants Zhou Mo to choose to maintain his authority and suppress the civilians, so that if the civilians are wrong, then the administrative officer system is at least right, so that the administrative officer system can get a glimmer of life and be continued.

"Originally, it was a peaceful world, but people's hearts were in turmoil, and a good world was spared!"

Zhou Mo suddenly felt tired, not physically tired, not mentally tired, or inexplicably aware, this great territory, this glorious human civilization, always because a small number of people's desires and hopes are not satisfied, and become a mess of people, so that people can't get clean, helpless!

With a sigh, the fat man and Ren Nian were silent, waiting for Zhou Mo's decision.

"Fatty!"

Zhou Mo shouted, Ren Nian was happy, at this time Zhou Mo spoke, the first call is if he is Ren Nian, it means that he wants to appease the civilians, then the government official system is extremely dangerous, it is very likely to be pulled out by Zhou Mo, cut off batches of heads to calm the people's anger.

But at this time, it is called the fat man, so it means that the lord wants to maintain his authority and is ready to use thunderous means.

Ren Nian was ecstatic in his heart, and even began to thank the people who instigated these civilians to make trouble behind his back, and at the same time sighed in his heart, when he was studying in the past, he only thought that the luck that the teacher always hung in his mouth was a vague thing, and he couldn't believe it.

But at this time, it seems that this theory of luck may not be unreasonable, if it were not for the prosperity of the government official system I established, how could such a thing have occurred at this desperate time, so as to continue?

Zhou Mo looked at the joy on Ren Nian's face, which he tried his best to hide, but always couldn't hide, a sneer appeared on his face, and said:

"Fatty, since those small traders outside don't do their own business and come out to make trouble, don't you always complain that your field workers are always extravagant?"

"They are in this busy market at this time, the market must be deserted, so that those field workers under your command don't stay idle and stare at those desperate, a group of unarmed civilians, do they still dare to rebel?"

The fat man listened to Zhou Mo's words as if he was scolding, but his face was overjoyed, and he only felt that the adult's hand was wonderful.

bowed down to answer, and then heard a crisp bell ringing, and looked up to see Zhou Mo ringing the bell to call the maid.

Almost just the time to breathe, Lin Dai'er walked in with a curling voice.

"Go, call your sister Mina, Qianshu and Sister Chenyang. ”

Lin Dai'er bowed, turned around and went out, and after a while, Mina and Chenyang Qianshu walked in.

"Your Excellency!"

The three women bowed together.

Zhou Mo ignored the three of them, turned his head to look at the fat man, and asked:

"What kind of business are the troublesome middle-class businessmen engaged in?"

The fat man immediately pulled out a thick list from his sleeve, on which he constructed in great detail the veins between these troublesome businessmen.

Zhou Mo glanced at it, stopped looking at it, threw the list to Mina, and said:

"Attacking the territory of the six principalities, many of the materials obtained are still piled up in the warehouse, a few of you, the family is now in the Holy Cross territory, as well as the female dependents in the castle, most of them also have family members, although the rewards have been continuous over the years, but there is no long-term job for your mother's family, so I will give it all today!"

"The three of you are sisters, just watch the differentiation go down, move me as fast as possible, and take advantage of the fact that the people in charge of these people's families are making trouble, and you will enter the market immediately. ”

Zhou Mo looked at the fat man again and ordered:

"Say hello to Degist, the teleportation array will be as convenient as possible. ”

"Then let the weeds surround me with a hidden surround of the troublemakers, and let them make trouble first!"

The fat man's admiration for his boss is indescribable, and he can only bow deeply.

And the third girl was also overjoyed, and she bowed to Zhou Mo, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Mo reaching out his hand.

"Don't thank you, if you want to thank Xie Ruiwen-Nalong, if it weren't for her, Benjue wouldn't have been able to directly make a big deal out of the normal market and make it convenient for your family. ”

As soon as he said this, the fat man couldn't help laughing.

And Ren Nian couldn't laugh anymore, his forehead was sweaty, but he still said hard:

"My lord, not to mention that it is a bad rule to let the merchants use the military teleportation array conveniently, it is to let these merchants retreat without having time to take care of themselves, but there are a lot of remaining farmers!

Zhou Mo glanced at Ren Nian coldly and said:

"This is also easy to do, when Mina and her family make some noise in business, fatty, you will send someone to block the water canals everywhere for me!"

The fat man bowed again, and when he raised himself again, his whole body was already relaxed, and he said with a smile:

"Boss, there's nothing to do fat man, I'll go down to do things, this time, I have to watch these troublesome people, embarrassed and embarrassed when they run home. ”

When Zhou Mo heard this, he said to the fat man with a warning:

"Remember, just do what you are told, you have to restrain your subordinates, don't embarrass those people, and if you make a mess, I'll ask you. ”

The fat man only promised and retreated as ordered.

And Ren Nian stood tremblingly, and his whole face was as pale as a blood clan.

"Ren Nian, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Mo asked knowingly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth turned into playful abuse.

Ren Nian's face turned pale miserably, and the civilian disturbance gave him hope, but Zhou Mo's words brutally shattered his hope.

"My lord, my subordinates have nothing to do, so I'll retire. ”

Zhou Mo nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and said:

"Look at Lao Ren, your face is not very good, go back and recuperate for a while!"

Ren Nian's already pale face seemed to be transparent now, and his body shook, but he barely managed to stand and staggered out of Zhou Mo's study.

Ren Nian, who walked out of Zhou Mo's study, understood that it was likely that it would be a long time before he would be able to enter this study, which symbolized the decision-making level of the Holy Cross Territory.

............

Langfeng City, in the palace of the Sea King.

Reven-Naron is talking to the Sea Emperor's Source Energy Projection.

"Old Ancestor, there was no hope in the original situation, but I don't know who made the move, and he actually tore a hole in the Holy Cross Territory, allowing Rui Wen to get a glimpse of its flaws. ”

"In this way, perhaps we have a choice other than peace talks. ”

The Sea Emperor's spirit was shocked, he looked at this granddaughter of unknown generations, and asked:

"How?"

Ruiwen Nalong's beautiful brow furrowed, and she said:

"Ancestor, what matters now is to liberate our elite combat power!"

Hearing this, the Sea Emperor understood what Rui Wen meant, nodded, and said:

"It's not difficult to do this, it's nothing compared to waiting for my luck to come and signing a ban on jumping. ”

"It's only difficult for the orcs to do it, but it's not that it's not negotiable, it's a big deal to give them a piece of the wilderness, and then open up trade, they can always make a truce." ”

When Ruiwen-Nalong heard the support of her ancestors, she suddenly became confident and said:

"That's good, in this way, we may not have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and it is very possible to fight with all our strength to extinguish Zhou Mo's Holy Cross Territory!"
