Chapter 74 The Value of Life

The three laws set by Zhou Li seem to be unfounded, but in fact, these are the best solutions he discussed with Ai Wei and others overnight.

Because his killer moves need these three laws to conceal.

"Don't you hear it clearly?"

After the leader of the oath, who was sweating in cold sweat, repeated three laws, Zhou Li repeated his question. This time, no one raised any objections, and the nobles also looked at each other and fell into silence, without anyone objecting.

They knew that Zhou Li had already set off his "moment" through words and violence at this time. Now Zhou Li is like a ferocious beast rushing around. It is no different to make things uncomfortable to fight him now.

"Since you all agree, I will continue the inauguration ceremony."

After glanced at the people with resentment on their faces, Zhou Li, who was stingy, took them into his heart and then prepared to take them into surgery. Then, he looked at Christine and spoke, "General Christine, you should preside over the ceremony next, right?"

"Yes."

Feeling the gazes from all directions, Christine nodded helplessly. Now even if he shouts in public, "I will announce something, and I have nothing to do with Zhou Li", no one will believe him. He stood up from his seat, then took the device used for amplification, and said to everyone:

"The next second section of the inauguration ceremony will be held, and the award will be awarded."

The process afterwards was very short. Except for Christine who took the medal from Zhou Li and then awarded Zhou Li this little episode, everything went very smoothly.

Then, it came more smoothly.

In the last part, when the nobles voted, Zhou Li suddenly spoke to everyone and said

"Everyone, you know how Duke Mintz died."

As soon as these words were said, the crowd suddenly became quiet. Several timid even looked terrified on their faces. They subconsciously thought that Zhou Li meant to kill him like he was killed by Duke Mingz, but Zhou Li's next words made them feel a little relieved.

"Don't worry, I'm not threatening you. I just want to help you."

With his hands on the table and leaning forward slightly, Zhou Li said to everyone with a smile: "I'll give you some information first. Duke Mintz's death actually has nothing to do with me. His death is an inevitable thing."

As soon as they heard this, the expressions on the faces of these people changed. According to the information they collected themselves, Duke Mintz died of heart disease after Zhou Li visited him, and Madam Meiya was the same. Now, Zhou Li can even say the words "Their death has nothing to do with me", which made everyone shocked Zhou Li's shamelessness.

"I know what you are thinking." Zhou Li didn't care too much and continued: "But it doesn't matter. I have no advantages, it's just that I have a big heart and a stubbornness. What I want to tell you is that Duke Mintz and the others died because grotesque itself is a sacrifice. When a person becomes grotesque, death will surely come."

When everyone in the audience heard Zhou Li's words, they were also a little concerned. They seemed to notice what Zhou Li wanted to say, but no one was willing to be the first to stand out, but they were all watching the changes.

"Oh, what a terrible monster. Think about it, weird, what a hateful group of people."

Zhou Li patted his palm, and his compassionate look made people feel nauseous, "You said that if one day you were eating hot pot and singing songs, you suddenly became infected into weirdness. My wife was gone, my child died, and I was also gone. In the end, the whole family was all cheaper than outsiders and nothing was gone. Do you think, is that scary?"

Although everyone had a little disdain on their faces, they still believed it more or less. After all, the current situation is that Duke Mintz and his family were ruined. The grand duke is now waiting for others to slaughter like a rotten and smelly corpse. Therefore, after hearing Zhou Li give this example, everyone resonates more or less.

"You are all pillars of the country and public servants of the people. You say, the great consul hired by the British Government, the brave man appointed by the twelve hours, the darling of the gods, and the sworn brother of Magnan III, can you let you suddenly die at home one day and become an abominable monster?"

After slamming the table, Zhou Li was passionate and voiced strongly: "No! I don't allow this kind of thing to happen!"

"So, the government specially dispatched 5,000 soldiers to protect your mansions, prevent weird invasions, and let you live in a warm and safe Jordan! This is what I should do, and I must do!"

Haha, your Yan Kingdom map is a bit short, the dagger came out so quickly.

At this time, the white-haired old man stood up helplessly under the expectations of everyone and spoke to Zhou Li: "Mr. Zhou Li, this is too much. We are the glory of the South of England and the bloodline passed down from generation to generation. You cannot insult us like this. Monitoring under the banner of safety is not done by the brave."

"Oh, now it's."

Zhou Li nodded and naturally responded.

Don't you refute the previous words?

The old man's face froze, then he shook his head and said firmly: "No, forbidding us from engaging in commercial and political activities is already provoking all our nobles. If you want to put the members of the army into our territory, you will declare war nakedly. Mr. Zhou Li, our relationship should not be so stiff."

"You're right."

To everyone's surprise, facing the old man's hard tone, Zhou Li did not start to play as expected. On the contrary, he actually surrendered.

"Okay, since you don't want our protection, I have no choice. After all, this kind of thing cannot be forced. I am still a more reasonable person."

With a slightly regretful tone, Zhou Li waved his hand and said to the somewhat confused nobles: "Okay, everyone, go back, it's all for you."

Is this the end?

You're not causing trouble?

In just three hours, all the nobles of PTTSD looked at each other, and no one was the first to leave. Seeing this, Zhou Li said with a bad tone: "What? What do you want to do? The government did not open fire today, get out of the free meal."

"Did you have nothing else?"

The old man looked at Zhou Li carefully and asked tentatively.

"Then let's talk about whether you can donate more gold coins to the victims."

A word made the nobles laugh. Looking at the nobles who had left the market one after another, a playful smile gradually appeared on Zhou Li's face. He touched the brave man on his waist, and his smile became stronger.

************************

When the consul comes, the sky will be there.

Public opinion is the fuel that is easy to be ignited. When Zhou Li's words and three major laws were fully broadcasted by the Jordan Evening News, the civilian class in Jordan was in full swing. They had never seen anyone care about civilians so much and target the nobles. What they didn't expect was that Zhou Li was just talking but not doing, he really did things.

It turns out that charity really is a donation to us poor people!

At this time, the reputation of the great consul began to gradually accumulate in Jordan. When the first batch of supplies were delivered to the civilians, most of them knew this brave man who suddenly arrived.

Gu Lu

Of course, the understanding between the officials and the nobles is deeper.

They deeply realized Zhou Li's shamelessness.

"What? Retreat troops?!"

The wealthy businessman named Kent was shocked when he received the news from his subordinates. He quickly stood up and asked his subordinates: "What do they mean? Why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?"

At nine o'clock in the morning, soldiers who were supposed to be stationed near the Kent residence suddenly packed up their equipment, and military trucks pulled out the soldiers in batches, and most of the military tents were also removed. This made the wealthy businessman who was rich and half a Muqi suddenly panicked.

It’s not that he doesn’t have his own professional bodyguards, but only a dozen people cannot compare with an army. What’s more, his home with hundreds of acres of land is too big, and the soldiers around the two factories are also stationed, and his little manpower cannot protect all his territory at all.

"Boss, they said that they received orders from the Grand Consul, and all the soldiers began to gather in the city center. According to their opinion, the Consul was to protect the main areas and give up...the deserted land."

Kent was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his mansion covered dozens of acres of land, and the surrounding 100 acres were transformed into gardens and factories by himself. Although this area was magnificent and magnificent, it was almost all his family and servants, and there was not much land actually used.

"He is careless!"

The extremely angry Kent slapped the table and shouted angrily: "He is crazy? How dare he threaten me in this way? Impossible, Impossible to surrender to him!"

"But…"

The subordinates on the side suddenly hesitated for a moment. He looked around and said to Kent in a low voice: "The chief of the soldiers told me that the great consul allows them to protect the civilians."

"What does it mean?" Kent, who was calm, looked at his subordinates and asked in a deep voice: "Have he explained to you?"

"Explained, explained."

He nodded repeatedly, and his subordinates hurriedly replied: "That man said that if there were enough civilians in the adult territory, this would not be a deserted place."

I see.

When Kent heard this, he immediately understood what Zhou Li wanted. The biggest problem in Jordan is that those civilians, because of the plague problem, most of the residential areas of civilians have become plague areas and are completely uninhabitable. The existing rescue stations cannot accommodate so many people at all. Now the people who own most of the land are rich people like themselves.

"He wants to kill two birds with one stone."

Kent sat back on the chair with a gloomy face. He knew that not only himself, but other nobles or wealthy businessmen who owned large pieces of land were also treated the same way as him. This was a naked threat, but also an open and upright plot. Because he and others had just subconsciously rejected Zhou Li's "request for stationing" yesterday, they did not expect that Zhou Li would play a word game and remove the original army.

"By the way, they gave me a letter."

At this time, his subordinate took out a letter and handed it to Kent. Faced with this subordinate who always spoke halfway, Kent sighed helplessly, then opened the envelope. When he saw the content on the letter, Kent's gaze froze.

There is only a short sentence on a piece of white paper.

“Limited quality soldiers, first come first served.”

"broken."

When Kent saw this sentence, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He never expected that Zhou Li would do so. The meaning of this letter is very simple. There are not many soldiers who can be sent to you rich people as bodyguards. First come first served, as for the later arrival...

Then don’t blame Zhou Li for being kind.

It's so cruel to provoke discord.

Kent gritted his teeth and looked at the short words on the letter. The veins in his hand swelled up. After a while, he put down the letter weakly and said to his subordinates beside him: "Now, tell the people in the military camp immediately and hand me the list of civilians."

"clear."

The biggest advantage of his subordinates is obedience. He ran out without any doubts.

Looking at the back of his subordinates flying, Kent's hand holding the letter was loosened weakly. He knew that this time, the originally strong aristocratic group was easily disintegrated by Zhou Li. Zhou Li lost nothing.

What kind of monster is he?

"How many replies are there now?"

In the office of the Grand Consul, Zhou Li put down the lunch box that Eluma had just handed him, and then asked Luo Ya next to him.

"There are thirteen people in total."

Luo Ya handed the list to Zhou Li, his tone full of admiration, "As you expected, when they learned that the soldiers stationed were limited, they immediately blocked the news, for fear that other nobles would learn about this, and then contacted us privately."

"It's normal."

After a biting the honey cake, Zhou Li glanced at the list and said to Luo Ya: "Don't think the relationship between these nobles is so close. The reason why they can unite now is to fight against me and protect their own interests. But if I suddenly get linked to their interests, they will abandon their previous allies without hesitation."

"What's next? What do we do?"

In fact, there is no shortage of soldiers and no limit. Not all nobles who are respectful of the land are intimidated by "retreatment". In fact, Zhou Li only took sixteen people to make the first batch of test items.

Sure enough, these sixteen nobles quickly panicked after being threatened with withdrawal. After receiving the limited number of soldiers, they were completely crazy and did not notify other nobles at all, for fear that they would rob them and would not use them for the soldiers.

"Send the news to the remaining nobles and tell them that there are not many soldiers."

After taking a sip of honey coffee, Zhou Li took out a tissue and wiped his hands with satisfaction. Luo Ya, who was beside him, responded and began to pass Zhou Li's order downwards.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou Li, I want to ask you a question."

After conveying Zhou Li's order, Luo Ya was about to go to his office, but seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked Zhou Li: "What would you do if those nobles were really bad and were not ready to accept the garrison?"

After hearing this question, Zhou Li thought for a moment. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the misty sky outside the window, and said lightly:

"I will withdraw without hesitation."
