Seeing the other party's silence, Lu Tian knew that his judgment was not wrong.
"Poison? This Mr. Lu Tan, as the host of the Huangsha Brotherhood, I need to remind you that in Utopia, spreading rumors is also illegal."
Cleopatra did not directly answer Lu Jian's question, but instead accused him.
"So in other words, if I say these words now without being sanctioned by Utopia, does it mean that I am telling the truth?"
Lu Jian was tit for tat.
"I don't have time to play word games with you."
As Cleopatra spoke, some small whispers suddenly echoed in her ears.
"If you are willing, you can find someone to take him outside the city. I will cleanly solve it in an instant without leaving any residue."
It was a ferocious voice, and he directly transmitted his thoughts through the part of himself that was immersed in Cleopatra's brain.
In Utopia, everything must be according to the rules, but outside this city, it is not necessarily the case.
At least in the wasteland far away from Utopia, killing people will not be punished. Even if you come back after killing people, Utopia cannot trace them back.
Therefore, sometimes if there is a feud in the city, we will try to induce the other party to leave the city, and then the two will be cleared.
This has resulted in many people really not daring to leave Utopia, for fear of being killed if they step out.
"I think the reason why people from the college come here to waste my time is not just to talk about some unfounded things, right?"
Cleopatra did not respond to the madness. She wanted to make someone disappear from Utopia without using the hands of an outsider.
"What's more, if it is true as you say, then under the witness of Utopia, who can poison other people without being discovered?"
"It was your men who poisoned me. The poison is a mixture of two non-poisonous substances. If I say this, you will definitely have some words to refute, but unfortunately, this is not such a simple trick."
Lu Tiao said in a deep voice.
If he publicly executed Cleopatra for these reasons, he might really be expelled from Utopia for spreading rumors, or he might be directly punished by God.
This kind of strategy that any normal person can think of is definitely not Cleopatra's skill.
Her ability to take the position of a saint who protects merchants in this city must have relied on Superman's strategy.
"I heard that during the past few months, the Huangsha Brotherhood began to distribute food to ordinary people living in the city. I tasted it yesterday and it tasted a bit like shit."
Lu Tan replied without changing his expression.
"...If you came here intentionally to tease me, I suggest you leave now, otherwise the guilt of insulting the saint will be enough to make you miserable."
Cleopatra felt that this man was nothing but handsome. His words were full of joking and vulgarity. Even the bandits he met in the wilderness were much cuter than him. At least those guys knew what to say.
Words that shouldn't be said.
"It's just that this shit is poisonous."
Lu Tan said without any scruples.
"?"
Cleopatra felt that the young man in front of her was really crazy. Did he really know what he was talking about?
"Don't worry, my lord, I tell you not to worry."
Lu Jian did not explain directly, but raised his hand to ask Cleopatra to stop calling others.
"What evidence do you have?"
At this time, Cleopatra felt that Lu Tian might really know something. Since the other party chose to talk to her one-on-one instead of directly making it public, it might mean that Lu Tian had no actual evidence.
It's all based on guessing. He wants to deceive himself, or he has other agendas on behalf of Lu Tan, and he doesn't want to break up with the Huangsha Brotherhood.
"Your next sentence is, 'If the food distributed was really poisonous, then I would have been sanctioned by Utopia a long time ago.'"
"If the food distributed was really poisonous, then I would have been sanctioned by Utopia long ago... Huh?"
Cleopatra paused.
How did this person know I was going to say this?
Did he really expect everything?
At this time, Cleopatra's ears heard Kuang Du's thin whisper again.
"Let me kill him quickly. I can feel that this person is extraordinary and you may not be able to handle it. Let him leave Utopia and I can give you everything you want."
That whisper of temptation echoed like the devil. Cleopatra rubbed the corners of her eyes to drive it out of her mind. She looked at Lu Jian, waiting for his explanation.
"In my world...in my city-state, there is a saying that talking about toxicity regardless of dose is just a hooliganism."
Lu Tan then said.
"Playing hooligan?"
Cleopatra narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't know what "playing a rogue" meant. The formation of this phrase was really puzzling.
But more than this, Lu Tan's words made her alert.
"You know, nothing in this world is completely non-toxic. Even pure water can kill someone if you drink enough of it."
Lu Tan said slowly and unhurriedly.
"As for the poisons you add to the food you distribute, a single dose is not enough to cause any harm, but these toxins cannot be digested and excreted by humans, so they will gradually accumulate in the human body. Over time, when these toxins accumulate to a certain level
, it will cause harm to the body.”
"In this way, the act of poisoning will not be punished by Utopian law, but it can be completed day by day."
Utopia has absolute justice, but criminal behavior is not absolute. Even if too much salt can lead to death, the law will not punish a chef who adds too much salt. This is the loophole.
Just like a building, it is not a crime to take away one brick every day, but over time, the foundation of the building will be unstable and it will eventually collapse, causing accidents.
“Interesting idea.”
Cleopatra suppressed her emotions. She knew that in business games, sometimes even a change in her eyes could determine the outcome, and she could not expose any problems.
"But why would someone poison the food distributed? Does poisoning those ordinary people do any good to any camp?"
The businessman who inherited the Queen's name deliberately chose words that would not reflect his role in it.
"It's very simple. You don't need to poison all these people. You just need to let them show symptoms. By then, Utopia will be in panic. At that time, the Yellow Sand Brotherhood extended a helping hand to these victims.
, using the medicines traded by traveling merchants to cure everyone, at this point, the Huangsha Brotherhood will become everyone’s life-saving straw and gain great reputation.”
Lu Tan said, he paused and then spoke again.
"Sir, you don't want other people to know about these things, right?"
