Chapter 36: The Game of Lies

"There is an option to use guards to disperse the crowd, people will go back to their homes, the London gang will not increase, but maybe someone will be injured."

"Let them preach their theories, the discontent will increase, and the number of London gangs will increase."

The system acts as a window for in-game pop-ups, but Li Jianghao didn't intend to solve the problem in such a blunt way from the beginning.

He stayed in the closed tavern, where he placed the sword as an ornament. Huck packed up his drinks and sent them to Li Jianghao.

Pouring a cup for Li Jianghao, Huck listened to the intermittent shouts in the distance, a little puzzled, and asked, "Sir, you just let them talk about it?" As I say, let the guards arrest them and punish them! ”

Li Jianghao drank slowly and said indifferently:

"These people have not rebelled against the work arrangement, nor have they hurt the heavens and reason, if I take the initiative to do something, wouldn't I want to cover it up, so that more people will suspect that I am a lackey of the Empire, just to confine the superfluous people in the ice and snow and ensure the normal operation of London?"

Huck laughed and said, "Sir, of course we all know that London is hopeless, and New London is our home." But if you don't do something, there will be people who will listen to those lies and join the London Gang. ”

"Huck, you say, if the people in the London Gang do things like stealing and stealing resources, will the citizens still think that the people in the London Gang are good people?"

Li Jianghao asked with a smile, he is indeed not a lackey of the empire, but Huck is indeed becoming more and more like a standard dog, and he has to sigh that this guy is really a natural talent.

Huck showed a look of sudden realization: "If the people of the London Gang are traitors, the citizens will definitely feel that these people threaten their normal life and will hate them even more. ”

"Clever, but I didn't think about dealing with them. You also know that Brian was deceived by Bernard, and he chose to form the London Gang because of his cowardice. The people he coaxed were only out of fear for the future and were not inherently bad people. At most, steal some wood food, and I'll pardon them. Li Jianghao said leisurely, his gaze always had to look farther away.

"Your Excellency is so merciful." Huck sent a sycophant, "However, I don't know when this gang will make trouble tonight, it will affect more people to rest, and tomorrow the new steam shearer will start, and the work efficiency will be affected." People who will work tomorrow will secretly think about the London Gang, do they need to send guards to patrol? ”

Li Jianghao waved his hand: "A lie is a lie, and there is nothing to be afraid of." The guards will rotate until thirty of them have finished their training, and we'll have to settle the Winter House first. The day after tomorrow, the rail car will be able to follow the track to the steel bridge, so that all the workers can be withdrawn. Don't let Brian know that I'll spend the night in the tavern, and you'll have to stay in the control room and disguise yourself starting tomorrow. ”

Huck said obligedly: "Mayor, you can say whatever you say, even if there is danger, I will not care." You said we are all brave people. ”

"If one day I am stepping down, and the glory of the future empire returns, I will definitely nominate you to run for the position of minister, or even prime minister."

Li Jianghao said the stalk that only he could understand, and patted Huck on the shoulder.

"Good night, Your Excellency my future Prime Minister."

The tavern fell into darkness, and Li Jianghao found a place in front of the window to lie down, so that he could just watch the flickering fire of the energy tower.

In another block, Brian watched with satisfaction as his gang members gathered the people of interest, now able to complete the task given to him by Bernard. He will be a leader who will lead people to awaken from lies to truth.

At this moment, Brian has no idea that he is actually the creator of lies.

However, the next development of events was different from what Brian expected, and there were indeed people who were willing to join the London gang and understand their words on a deeper level. But at this time, they didn't even have the guards sent by the mayor to expel them.

This was completely different from Bernard's judgment, and Brian gradually became a little flustered. He was a tool man with no autonomy, and he began to imagine what the mayor who would unleash the flames would do if he burned them all in a fit of rage.

Moreover, no guards were sent, which is also inconsistent with the theories they promote. According to the remarks of the London Gang, Li Jianghao should strictly prevent people from joining the London Gang. Now it looks like they're letting the London Gang expand their numbers, which is not normal.

Bryan, who was suspicious at first, signaled that today's meeting could be over. The London Gang has become an open presence among the citizens, and others will demand a countermeasure from the mayor. At that time, Li Jianghao had to make a move. Even though Brian thought so, he still looked in the direction of the energy tower with some weakness.

That night, the number of the London Gang had increased to thirty.

The next day, as Huck said, many of the workers at work were a little absent-minded. The men who had joined the London gang spread their theories around, but the guards didn't care, and the mayor stopped showing up after a day's work, supposedly to inspect the progress of Engineer Andrew's steam core.

On the first day of Bernard's freedom, no work was arranged, after all, the London gang is now a minority, and most of the people have malicious intentions towards it. He had to stay alone in the newly built shed.

The Londoners consciously or unconsciously took their place in the process of upgrading the tent to the shed. Naturally, the people who hated Bernard were willing to change places, and in this way, the London gang mostly gathered to live together. They themselves did not realize that the development of the London Gang was limited to one range at all times.

Although it seems to be flourishing, united. But if someone is going to clean them up, it can be easily caught in one go.

At the end of the day's work, Li Jianghao, who had not shown up all day, finally appeared and announced that from tomorrow all the guards would prepare to reclaim the Winter House. During this period, all the workers gather in the tavern after work to learn about the monsters.

For this order, Li Jianghao explained that it was to prevent a monster from slipping through the net and entering New London, and it was also for everyone's safety.

All of a sudden, people's negative emotions pushed the dissatisfaction value to 40%, and the London Gang was even more overjoyed, the mayor was really dizzy, and dared to let people know about monsters, and even told people that there would be a possibility of monsters entering the city! This will undoubtedly make more people scared and uneasy.

The London Gang will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to get more people to join and be more confident of accomplishing their goals.

It was only after the people gathered at the tavern the next night that the London gang realized that things were not going their way as they had hoped.
