"Yes, it is flexible to stand up with smart people, and speaking to smart people is labor-saving." Solomon smiled

"You didn't go to Miss Ruthberg?"

"Frankly, I don't dare ......" Solomon shook his head, "you probably didn't know that she was nicknamed 'Rustberg the Iron', and I was just an ordinary person, so I ......"

"So what do I get?" Edward smiled, since it was a business, there was nothing that he couldn't wipe his face, and he might be able to be sincere when he took the initiative to make a price.

"What do you want?"

"It's not about the sincerity of cooperation." Edward said, "You really don't seem to be sincere. ”

Of course, Edward didn't want to release water in the courtroom, but he felt that if he refused directly, he was afraid that the consequences would not be very good, after all, the other party came with a gunman, and he could be called a "personal bodyguard" or something on the surface.

And looking at the words and deeds of those two guys, they are obviously veterans in this area.

Most of this aspect includes how to destroy the corpse after killing someone or something, although the probability of doing so is not large, but if you don't know how to lift it......

So you might as well listen to the other party's price code first, at least to temporarily reassure the other party's heart.

"Money, half a million dollars, with bearer treasury bonds as a means of payment, you can ask for cash, but I personally don't recommend it, it's too eye-catching. This is even more convenient if you have an anonymous account number with a Swiss bank. ”

"Position, I can guarantee access to wherever you want, and then in just three years, you can get to a position that would normally take six years or more for others to achieve. If you want, in 10 years, you can challenge the circuit judges, but only if you join the Democratic Party and I can't promise you that you'll be in office, but I can put you in the position where you can make an impact. Or you can work under me, and when you're 35, I can guarantee you a place for me. ”

Edward was surprised, this price is not high, to become a circuit court judge is usually about 45 years old, of course, this is the first, second class of famous circuit courts, the age requirements for judges are higher, the circuit court in charge of the backward areas of the Midwest will be much younger, but in any case, if you want to become a circuit court judge before the age of 40, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Although Solomon said that he could not promise, this shows that he sincerely offered this price, and as for taking his position, it is indeed a very good choice.

"Of course, I personally recommend that you don't join the Democratic Party, you can remain non-partisan, or simply join the Republican Party, and then I can get you promoted equally quickly through many friends." Solomon suggested

"Why?"

"It's very simple, as my friend, of course, it is better for you to be in the enemy camp, and you can change party membership at any time when the time comes, and our secret personal relationship can make the cooperation smoother in the future."

Edward thought about it, and Solomon's offer was very generous, and he didn't know how high it was higher than Yelena.

After all, the cost of ex-post intervention and ex-ante intervention are completely different, and it is normal for them to differ by several orders of magnitude.

"I refuse ......"

The atmosphere in the room instantly cooled.

"You're just for that woman?"

Edward was so angry that he said in his heart What kind of broken country is this, how can Lao Tzu's private affairs be known?!

But his face was silent, "I don't think our relationship is good enough for me to talk to." ”

"I don't believe you refused for the sake of justice and the law," Solomon said in a deep voice, "You are not the same as your teacher, and this is the reason why I chose to talk to you about cooperation, because you, like me, do not believe in that set of things in nature." ”

Edward spreads his hands: "That's your freedom"

"If you say that, I can only choose to tell you all my plans for the future."

As he spoke, he opened the door and coughed, and two jackets rushed in.

"They're very dedicated, they don't go to the bar to spend their time, the professionals are always cautious, always ......waiting," Solomon laughed, holding up his coffee cup.

The two men stood behind Edward without saying a word.

Edward immediately understood the meaning of the old adage, and the couch cushions seemed to become the Iron Throne.

"It's simple, then I'll have to go to Rushberg." Solomon sneered, "Yes, Rust of Iron, but there is a weakness in the end. ”

"Judith?" Edward blurted out.

"More than ...... My plan is that if you refuse, I'll kill you first, then take your finger to her and tell her that if she doesn't cooperate, then Judith will do the same, and of course until then, Judith will be well 'taken care of' by us. ”

"You're threatening me?" Edward's face was pale, but his mouth was not soft at all.

"No, not a threat. You're smart, you're gifted in law, you've beaten me twice in court, but frankly, I don't hold a grudge against you, I even want to be friends with you, how can we help each other and achieve a career together. So, just now, I am very serious about announcing my plan to you. After all, you are young and do not understand the rules of 'unconventional means'. ”

"yes, wouldn't you mind explaining it to me? Coffee or not? ”

"Thanks, no, although Americano is good for refreshing, it is not so friendly to the stomach."

"Then I suggest you drink tea......," Edward shrugged

"But that's too time-consuming, time is more precious to us than anything else, so we have to give up some hobbies for the sake of time......

"Listen, Mr. Edward, when it comes to 'unconventional means', it means that there is no way back for the organization, this is the ultimate solution, and since it is the end, then all the resources that can be invested must be invested as bargaining chips to ensure that the success rate increases. You know, all the resources that can be used are based on the results and not the costs. ”

"For example, if I don't kill you, the success rate of this plan is 60%, and the success rate of killing you will increase to 62%, but the cost will be five times higher, then I will still choose to kill you, not because you are only worth 2%, but because I need 2%. It's unfair, isn't it? But that's the rule, so I'd rather solve the problem in a reasonable and legal way within the framework, in fact, it will make me pay more, but I am in awe of the law...... I have to believe in the law, but I believe in the sanctions that come with the law. In fact, it is the real intention of the law to increase the cost of crime in order to curb crime. It doesn't have much to do with fairness and justice. ”

Solomon looked a little embarrassed, even a little embarrassed: "So I always take care of myself when I think about problems every day, and I don't want to have too many 'final solutions', which will make people lose their normal rational thinking, and it will also break the rules of society." Everyone wants to break the rules to benefit, but these people probably don't understand that the rules protect everyone. ”
