Chapter 328 A loud slap
According to the old gentleman, the Milt family has settled in the town for decades. They live in the family mansion on the outskirts of the town in the east. It is said that they are very knowledgeable and reclusive. scholar.
When old Milt was still alive, he would occasionally go for a stroll in the town. After old Milt passed away, there were only two brothers and sisters left in the mansion, along with an old housekeeper and several people who had been with him for many years. Servants lived in the mansion and almost never left the house, except for the occasional butler and servants who showed up in town.
But the two sides are not completely in contact. In recent years, in addition to the sister of the brother and sister, Ms. Milt, who has come forward to help solve every time rinderpest occurs, the residents of the town will also ask the elder of the Milt family if they have any difficult problems. Ask the housekeeper for advice, and soon the old housekeeper will relay the answer.
The two parties have always maintained this special alienated relationship, however...
"Gentlemen! We will come to the door together today. If they dare not help again, we will fight them. .”
"Yes, fight them desperately! We have no choice anyway, we have to die together."
"It was the Milt family's refusal to come forward that caused so many cows to die in the town. It's all their fault. . ”
“Yes, it’s all their fault. We need to give them an explanation today and let them suffer the loss for us!”
Damn it, I never owe you anything. When you encounter trouble, don't you blame your own greed, don't blame the bank for forcing you to pay, but blame the people who have helped you countless times for not helping you anymore?
Officer Natalie's face was gloomy with anger, and she clenched her fists. She had no sympathy for this group of victims. She just wanted to rush up and yell at them as a police officer, and teach them a lesson.
I can come and go freely among hundreds of monsters, why am I afraid of ordinary people like you? However, before his body moved, his hand was held by Lynch. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lynch raising his chin towards the crowd.
At this time, more and more people gathered in the center of the town, and soon it was over a hundred. Almost all the young and middle-aged people in the town were gathered together, each wielding tools such as sticks and pitchforks, and venting their despair and anger aggressively. .
A few gentlemen are the management of the town and are trying to quell the chaos. Even the only three men in blue uniforms in the town came to help dissuade them. However, at this time the townspeople were like a group of losers. The blinded gambler has long lost his mind. Everyone's eyes are red and they can't listen to anything. Fortunately, a few managers usually have a good reputation, otherwise they might even be beaten to death on the spot.
“Do you want to kill them? This situation is difficult to calm down without blood.”
Yes, the person opposite is not a monster after all. The tense hand quickly softened, and the police officer snorted angrily. But years of experience told her that Lynch might be right, that this group of people might have gone crazy when they got together.
"I was angry when I saw it, but let's take a look at the situation first. Don't worry."
The crowd quickly started to move. Hundreds of people were noisy and gathered towards the eastern suburbs of the town. . The two left the carriage at the door of the town's only tavern and followed on foot.
The angry crowd walked very quickly, and in more than half an hour they had reached the outskirts of the town. A three-story mansion appeared in front of them.
Unlike most mansions in cities of this era, the Milt family's mansion was surrounded by tall walls with sharp iron bars and iron nets, and only a thick iron door and Connected to the outside world.
The leading farmers could not wait to rush to the gate, ready to smash it down, but before they could get close, the gate opened on its own initiative, and an old housekeeper in his sixties rushed in with a shotgun. He came out, followed by four sturdy servants, each holding a shotgun in his hand.
Bang.
The old housekeeper fired a shot into the sky to calm the restless crowd, and then five people blocked the door and confronted hundreds of townspeople.
“Let your master come out.”
"Treat our livestock!"
"If our livestock dies, you are responsible!"
"You have worked hard with us for so many years!"
"Stand back, my lady doesn't want to see you rude thugs!"
The five people aimed their guns, but did not dare to actually shoot. Although the farmers kept approaching with sticks, they were also afraid. Firearms did not dare to make a real impact. The two sides maintained a face-to-face distance and fell into a short stalemate.
"No, we can't let them continue to cause trouble." Officer Natalie, who had been following behind, couldn't bear it any longer. "They must be stopped, otherwise there will be a lot of casualties once they break out."
"What are you going to do?"
"Shock the farmers, then directly hurt them and suppress them by force." The police officer pursed her lips and hesitated a little, "This is the only way."
"Maybe there is a way to solve it peacefully, at least without hurting anyone."
"Impossible, these people are crazy, and it is impossible to calm them down with peaceful methods."
"How about a bet?" Looking at the increasingly fierce atmosphere, Lin Qi remained calm. He said, "It's still the same. If you win, all old debts will be cancelled. If I win, hey, that's the eighth condition... Oops."
The police officer took back the leg that was stepping on Lynch's toes. , looking at his grimace, glared at him with slightly red cheeks.
"Hurry up and work, stop talking nonsense, something is going to happen."
This woman is so violent, how will she live in the future?
The farmers kept yelling and scolding with red eyes, becoming more and more irritable. Those in the back row slowly pushed forward, pushing the front row forward. The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, even to the point where a stick could be used. Hit the opponent directly on the head.
Bang.
A stick swept across the old housekeeper's forehead, and the blood flowed down his cheek along with his pale hair. There was silence on the field, and then the townspeople who saw the blood became more and more excited and completely out of control. The next moment they were about to swarm up and kill the five people in the way under the threat of firearms.
Now, what I want is for your emotions to explode.
Lin Qi took a deep breath and then roared.
"Enough!" The phantom sound ability was turned on, and the volume was adjusted to the maximum. It was like a thunderous explosion. Everyone on both sides was shocked, stopped all movements, and looked at the source of the sound in surprise.
Click, click.
With the sound of the cane tapping, Lynch was followed by the police officer. The two slowly walked out from behind, walked into everyone's field of vision, and walked towards the middle of the two parties.
The two sides were still close to each other when they were stunned, but Lynch walked over directly and stopped when he was about to make physical contact with the person in the middle. He raised his cane expressionlessly , knocking a farmer on the chest.
"You, give in."
The emotions that had just exploded were interrupted by thunder. It would take some time to save up again. The frustrated farmer subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Lin Qi blankly. .
Lin Qi stood in the middle position vacated by the two sides, turned to face the crowd, straightened his hat, and said with an arrogant look:
"I am the Rhine City Government, the House of Commons representing the citizens, and the staff of the noble Speaker Grant. I came to your shabby town today because I heard that rinderpest has occurred here. On behalf of the noble Lord Grant, I come to talk to you. The poor man negotiates to buy your dead and diseased cows at two-thirds of the market price.”
The root of all contradictions lies in the excitement of losing everything. Lynch hit the point directly in one sentence, and everything was lost. People were shaken out of their frenzy and gradually regained their ability to think.
Speaker Grant, that’s a big shot in the city, I’ve heard of it. What is he going to do? Buy our sick cows? God, although I will lose a lot of money, at least I can repay the loan and my family’s breeding farm can be saved!
Suddenly a life-saving straw appeared. The townspeople couldn't care less about the Milt family. They were all very excited. However, the leaders were quite knowledgeable, especially the one who just broke the old housekeeper's head with a stick. He was a little suspicious. Asked: "What are you doing to buy the cows that died of illness? Hey, you don't want to use the cows that died of illness to sell as good cattle, do you? This is illegal."
Lin Qi's face darkened, and he flirted with him He hooked his fingers. The farmer no doubt had his friends coming over.
So, Lin Qi rounded his arms, forehand and backhand, and slapped him on the face twice, spinning him around and throwing him to the ground.
"Is it your turn to ask questions? Do you care what we buy for? If you want to sell things, just keep your mouth shut. If you ask such nonsense again, I will turn around and leave. Do you hear me? Huh? You want to Don’t want to sell? Huh?”
“Think about it, Master, don’t leave, I won’t ask anything”
This is the right thing to do, this is like the city. The attitude of a gentleman. The farmer's face was swollen after being beaten, but he laughed and nodded like a steam piston.
"Just sell it if you want, huh, let me tell you, I don't want to stay in this shabby town for a minute longer. Go back to the town right now, order me the best wine in the tavern, and wait patiently. Wait for me to settle the accounts with you in detail. If you are not ready when I arrive, I will leave immediately."
"Master...you, will you really buy it?"
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. Lin Qi glared at him sideways and crossed his fingers again.
"Come here, I'll tell you."
The other party immediately covered his face and took two steps back.
"You are not stupid, hum, did I say I want to buy it? Can't you understand human language? Don't you know what negotiation is? If the negotiation is good, of course I will buy it. If the negotiation is not good, what will I buy? ? Where do all these problems come from? Get out of here now.”
The crowd, which had been so aggressive just now, immediately dispersed. As they ran, some people realized, no, aren't we here to kill people and set things on fire?
Forget it, the business is still important, as long as someone buys it, is it illegal? hehe.
Lin Qi shook his hand, his hand hurt from the two slaps, but he felt relieved.
Poor people must be hateful, a bunch of villains.
Shaking his head at the running crowd, Lynch turned around and winked at the police officer, making an eight sign.
You guys actually did it.
The police officer was a little surprised and admired, but she still blushed and waved her fist, and said angrily: "The question is how do you plan to end it? Where did you get the money to buy so many dead cows."
"Huh? Speaker Grant wants to buy a dead cow, what does it have to do with me, Lu... Lynch?"
Lynch spread his hands, smiled and added:
"Stabilize them first and buy us time to understand the situation. Although those people are hateful, they are also victims in the end. It's enough to teach them a lesson. Let's try first to see if we can solve the problem. If it doesn't work, there are still options."
"Yes." The police officer nodded slightly, looking at Lynch secretly with a softer look.
"Your Excellencies." The voice of the old housekeeper came from behind, "Thank you both for solving the trouble for the Milt family. If you don't mind, please come in and rest for a while. My lady would like to thank you both in person. ”
Of course I don't mind.
Lin Qi and Officer Natalie smiled at each other and followed each other into the iron gate. However, as soon as they entered the door, they turned back inadvertently, causing Lynch to freeze in place.
Inside the door, Lynch saw a familiar pattern.
Round spheres like eyes are stacked on top of each other, like a strange pattern composed of countless eyeballs.
Lynch once saw this sign outside the Knowledge Library.
The Lord of Billions of Glory.
The evil god who asked the neighbors to come forward to stop Lynch from prying.
