Lu Fuyan had just formed a united front with Boss Chen on the front foot, and the back foot immediately adjusted the next strategy according to the information fed back by the First Republic.

With this organizational ability, it can be said that no matter from any point of view, we are already on the road to success

On the other hand, Hu Qinglai and Zhang Qiaoqiao, who did not have the blessing of plug-ins, were not so lucky.

The two who originally had different positions happened to have different views on the cooperation proposal put forward by "Brother Yang", but for various reasons, they could not use physical means to persuade each other.

If the gang is dismantled before disembarking, the previous sheriff will face collapse, which will lead to the legitimacy of the arrest of the bounty offender on the ship.

As a result, the two of them soon fell into a state of cold war.

Among them, Hu Qinglai, who is in the most embarrassing situation.

Compared with Zhang Qiaoqiao, he has more ideas and pursues more things... Naturally, there are more concerns.

He has to take care of the bounty prisoners and the business that has not yet arrived, and it is naturally difficult for him to take the initiative in the negotiation when he wants everything.

"I really don't understand... At the beginning, you said that you wanted to arrest this robber to Eucalyptus, and you insisted that I take you to find someone. Now that people have finally been caught, what are you doing awkwardly? ”

"I'm grateful to you for the arrest. But now that the goal has been accomplished, it is not time to go out of the way and help the merchants bribe the management of the former town along the wadi. ”

"Who ever mentioned taking bribes? People just ask me, a local, to help pull a string and a relationship, this is all normal interpersonal communication, okay? ”

"To do business, you should go to the market access department to apply for a license, and you don't need to go to the mayor."

"Isn't there an acquaintance who can make sure the transaction process is smooth? There are no comprehensive laws in this world, and it is not a bad thing to know a few people in charge. ”

Hu Qinglai crossed his fingers and told Zhang Qiaoqiao about "reasoning".

"You think, people do business, whether they sell goods or sell goods, it's real money! Now that the world is so chaotic, if there is a little accident, wouldn't it be a loss? ”

"There are inherent risks in market operations, and wanton relationship will only lead to the collapse of the existing trading order - if everyone is a relational household, it will only lead to a passive increase in the entry threshold, which is not beneficial to others or themselves."

"Miss... Which dynasty did you excavate the fossil? Do you know what the town of Wadi is in front of you? ”

"I don't know, I've never been there."

"Then you dare to draw such a conclusion in advance?"

"Justice is available at no time or place."

“...”

In the face of Zhang Qiaoqiao's stern defense, Hu Qinglai almost laughed angrily...

Originally, he was just trying to find an excuse to ignore the matter in front of him, but the more he talked deeply, the more Zhang Qiaoqiao's bluntness made him, a bounty hunter who has been active in the gray realm all year round, feel unreasonable.

"Let me tell you that...

The only difference between the sheriff and the bandit there is that he must pay a sum of money to the mayor's mansion every month;

The managers there are thugs in suits and ties, with shiny signs, who care about how much they get more than what you do for your business. ”

"What rules can you talk to them about in a place like this? What justice to talk about?

It's..."

“…”

The switch between offense and defense, and the confession of the little white face made Zhang Qiaoqiao fall into a short silence.

However, just when Hu Qinglai thought that his words had touched the childish soul of the other party, and then he was ready to adjust his tactics, change the fight to a fight, and secretly distort the worldview of the ignorant girl, Zhang Qiaoqiao's reply once again broke through the psychological defense line preset by the little white face...

"In that case, why not establish a new rule that is healthier and more stable?"

“... What do you mean? ”

"Literally, huh?"

"No, Miss, why don't you understand me...

How do you build this thing? Who will build? Can Mayor Qin agree that you will smash his job and start anew? ”

But isn't he a bad guy who persecutes and oppresses the people? Since he was engaged in an unjust cause, it was natural that he should rebel against his rule and establish a new order. ”

“… Do you have anything to do with those people in the Self-Help Society?

If I didn't pour cold water on you, even if it was really the big hand of the Self-Help Association, it would have to be chewed and swallowed by those people! ”

Hu Qinglai slapped his face and pursed his lips helplessly.

"I beg you, don't mention this stubble when you get off the boat to pay the bounty in two days, the last person who dared to say such a thing will have no grass on his grave."

"You mean, everyone didn't dare to resist Mayor Qin's rule because they were afraid of retaliation?"

"Isn't this nonsense..."

"But if everyone doesn't resist, won't they be exploited and oppressed in the end? If you don't have enough living materials, won't you die in the end? ”

"Do you want to be beaten to death today, or starved to death in ten years?"

"So is it our generation that stands up and rebels and dies for a just cause, or does it allow future generations to be oppressed by these bad people?"

“...”

Hu Qinglai once thought that the girl was pretending to be stupid.

But when he found that Zhang Qiaoqiao's hair gradually turned orange to symbolize doubts, the little white face who could speak well choked himself and couldn't speak for a long time.

- Simplicity sometimes seems stupid, but as long as you are willing to break the casserole and ask to the end, things in the world are often so simple in the end...

In the face of tribulation, people can instantly find a million reasons for themselves not to make the right but difficult choice... Vice versa.

Just like for thousands of years, we have been accustomed to misinterpreting the ancient precept of the sage...

But when such a simple girl dissected the carefully woven illusion layer by layer and went straight to the core of the problem, Hu Qinglai realized that what really controlled her choice was just a simple profit-seeking nature.

Of course, he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.

Without the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, the human population would have disappeared in the mass extinction more than 200 years ago.

But the paradox is that in the human value system, right is not necessarily righteous.

… It's hard to be a bad guy through and through.

Not everyone has the seeds of evil that sow chaos buried deep in their bones.

Especially for a smart person like Hu Qinglai, although he can deceive everyone with his cunning sophistry skills, when he dreams back at midnight, when he is alone, he still can't escape the torture of human nature.

——And Zhang Qiaoqiao's rhetorical question just hit this unsolvable problem.

She made Xiaobai's face subconsciously doubt whether this cunning and philistine way of doing things was out of "shrewdness" or "meanness".

… Fortunately, as a reliable adult male, even the softest part of the body can be hard when it should be hard.

After about 0.5 seconds of hesitation, Hu Qinglai quickly realized that there was no point in dwelling on this point

- Because no matter what choice he and Zhang Qiaoqiao make, they can't immediately change the predicament of reality at this moment.

Ideals and futures have always been luxuries that survivors of the wasteland cannot easily talk about...

In that case, it is better to focus on the business at hand.

"Ah, yes, yes, you're high... You're amazing. ”

The little white face cocked his thumb and responded half mockingly, half swaggeringly.

However, in the face of such a perfunctory answer, the girl did not become angry, nor did she play any small temper.

She just shook her head seriously and continued to state her point in a simple but firm tone.

"What's so great about me. My grandmother said that I didn't know how to do things flexibly and couldn't do great things - she said that smart people like you can help more people. ”

“...”
