"What are you doing? What are you going to do? You are all crazy about getting the upper hand, right?"
"I want to see who doesn't want to live today and dares to be the manager of Deying!"
>"Whoever dares to step foot here today is the enemy of our No. 2 gathering place. Anyone who wants to die can come in and try."
"Go away, go away, come here to take advantage of the disaster to disgust people, right? Be careful, I will die with you!"
Lin Deying, the manager of the second gathering place, heard a group of people standing at the door of the gathering place, shouting loudly.
There were quite a few people, hundreds of them, most of them were his relatives, and a small number were his private soldiers.
There were also many members of the No. 2 Gathering Area Defense Team standing nearby to maintain order.
However, these people are only responsible for the security of the gathering place. They have special captains and will not be directly commanded by Lin Deying.
What is confronting them is the current nominal defense team of the Honghua Gang territory.
Of course, it can also be said that they are Ji Wuming's private soldiers. There are about sixty people, headed by squad leader Wang Jirong.
"What are you talking about? We did not say that Mr. Lin will not be allowed to be a manager, and Lord Ji did not issue an order to cancel Mr. Lin's status as a manager." Wang Jirong shook his head with a smile.
“You all know what happened yesterday. Singh, the manager of the No. 4 gathering place, was assassinated in the territory. Although we do not doubt that this incident is related to Mr. Lin and the No. 2 gathering place. , but during this period, we still have to ask Mr. Lin to go and take charge of gathering place No. 4. When we find out who the murderer is, we will arrange a new manager."
"And Mr. Lin will still be No. 2 by then. The manager of the gathering place, this can be guaranteed.”
Wang Jirong’s attitude made Lin Deying a little confused. If he really followed what he said, he had been the manager of the gathering place No. 4 for a period of time, so he could be exonerated. Suspicion isn't a big deal either.
After all, everyone in the territory knew that Singh would often come to the No. 2 gathering place to cause trouble during this period.
Even though they were looking for trouble for Liu Zhi and had nothing to do with him, they still slapped him in the face.
But a sixth sense told Lin Deying that things were not that simple.
The relationship between him and Ji Wuming was indeed not a good one.
Ji Wuming had complained several times before, but he ignored him and went to deal with this beast like Singh.
It makes no sense that now that Singer is dead, the relationship between the two will heat up quickly.
"Then after I leave, Gathering Place No. 2 cannot be left without a manager, right?"
"That's for sure, so Lord Ji plans to arrange for Deputy Lord Liu Zhi to temporarily act as the manager of the gathering place."
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Jirong spoke, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, especially Lin Deying's relatives, who were ignited by these words.
A few men looked at each other and stepped forward to glare at Wang Jirong:
"What, you are here to cause trouble, right? Why not let Liu Zhi go to be the manager of Gathering No. 4?"
>
"But there is no conflict between Liu Zhi and Singer. They have not met each other during this time." Wang Jirong spread his hands and narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically.
“You can’t tell me that during this period, Lord Singer came to the No. 2 gathering place and had a conflict with Mr. Lin. In the end, Deputy Lord Liu Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore and took action to resolve it, right?”
"What nonsense? Everyone knows that Singer is in conflict with Liu Zhi, what does it have to do with me!"
"That is, Liu Zhi still wants to be the lord, why don't you let Ji Wuming Give him the position of lord."
"Go away, go away, don't say anything today to get us to the gathering place No. 4."
"You're right, whoever wants to go to the cesspool can go there anyway. We can't go there anyway."
A group of people started shouting again, and some impulsive ones even rushed forward and pushed the members of the defense team.
Everyone retreated, only Wang Jirong kept squinting his eyes and focusing on Lin Deying.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
Through Lin Deying's status as manager, this group of relatives often took advantage of the No. 2 gathering place.
Most of the best plots of land nearby were given to his family for farming.
Moreover, most of the supplies that are usually distributed have been pocketed by Lin Deying.
These are the rules that everyone knows secretly and cannot be checked.
As long as someone exposes it, it will inevitably start a life-and-death struggle to end.
"I" Lin Deying was a little hesitant and wanted to nod, but was coerced by the relatives around him and could not agree.
It wasn't until a few more figures suddenly appeared at the entrance that the noise stopped for a moment.
"Vice Lord Liu!"
"Mr. Liu!"
Everyone who saw Liu Zhi approaching greeted him, even those who hated him, Don't dare to offend him.
After all, everyone knows that Liu Zhi has been on the line with Tianyuan territory during this period, and his status has greatly increased.
Not even Ji Wuming could do anything to him, let alone some of the ordinary people who were still struggling to survive.
As for the defense team at gathering place No. 2, captain Tan Wei was even more friendly and took the initiative to step forward to greet Liu Zhi.
Lin Deying was stunned when she saw this scene, and the expressions on the faces of the relatives next to her were also grim.
Why did everyone dare to bully Liu Zhi in the past and not take him seriously?
It is because Liu Zhi is a loner and cannot gather a private army that can make people fear him.
Now no one expected that Tan Wei would be willing to support him.
"You guys are making such a loud noise here. I wonder if you thought you were going to fight." Liu Zhi turned around and looked back and forth: "But I'm a little curious. Does Lord Ji's order not work well in the gathering place now?" "
"Vice Lord Liu is serious, we just have some doubts about the suspicion of Singh's death." Lin Deying broke out in a few drops of cold sweat. He didn't expect Liu Zhi to put such a big label on him.
“If we go to gathering place No. 4 without any questions, wouldn’t it mean that there is something wrong in our hearts?”
“That’s right. There is indeed something fishy about Mr. Singh’s death. I heard that he was dug out of the ground at midnight last night and died miserably.”
"Hey, maybe you sent someone to do it, and you are still here pretending to be merciful." A sudden sarcastic voice suddenly came from the crowd, which immediately attracted everyone to look over.
Realizing that the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, the person who just spoke quickly lowered his head, trying to hide himself.
However, unexpectedly, Liu Zhi, who was usually kind and kind, suddenly turned gloomy at this time.
"Who said that, stand up and say it again."
No one answered, everyone quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Zhi.
It's okay to say this kind of thing in private, but now it's too bold to say it in public.
What's more, even Lin Deying didn't dare to mock so directly, let alone ordinary survivors. "I repeat, who said this just now?"
"I said it, what's wrong?" The middle-aged man who just spoke was pressed by invisible pressure. The man stood up bravely, his face turning blue and white, and said: "The territory of the Honghua Gang, the No. 2 gathering place, there can't be any doubts now, right?"
Bang.
A violent explosion rang in everyone's ears, and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.
No one expected that the usually kind-hearted Vice Lord Liu would pull out his gun and pull the trigger.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was shot in the chest and half of his clothes were stained red instantly, Lin Deying was almost frightened.
"You are crazy, Liu Zhi, killing people in the street. What do you want to do, rebel?"
"Rebellion, Lin Deying, I don't care if I give you face in the past, your relatives don't Do you take me seriously?" Liu Zhi blew on the muzzle of the gun and sniffed the smell of gunpowder from the muzzle.
"Lin Chengjia, male, 38 years old, embezzled six acres of public land, embezzled 60 kilograms of public seeds, and embezzled several public materials in the gathering area, including the materials I brought back from Tianyuan. He took 12 sets of clothes alone."< br>
“With this record, ten shots are not too much, right?” Liu Zhi looked at everyone with a smile and said word by word.
Everyone who had fallen into anger and fear suddenly felt like they were being seen through their pants.
This. Are you prepared?
Lin Chengjia is Lin Deying's cousin and a famous bully in the No. 2 gathering place. All the best fields around the gathering place belong to him.
Who would have thought that Liu Zhi would kill him without hesitation.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I am actually very easy to talk to. If you are willing to listen to me, then you are my friend. You can forget about the past." Liu stepped forward and patted Lin Deying's somewhat stiff shoulder. Zhi continued with a smile on his face:
"But if someone is disobedient, then don't blame me for acting according to the rules. After all, you know, I like rules the most."
"Captain Tan, Captain Wang, what do you think?"
"Lord Liu is right, those who don't follow the rules should be punished." Wang Jirong, who had been silent since Liu Zhi appeared, said quickly, The expression on his face was very flattering.
Tan Wei was even more straightforward and said directly: "The evidence that Lin Chengjia embezzled public property is in our defense team and will be announced at the latest at night. If you don't believe it now, I can take you to see it right away."
"Vice Lord Liu."
Lin Deying's face was ashen and she immediately no longer dared to mess around.
"After I leave, gathering place No. 2 will be temporarily handed over to you."
He did not say to let Liu Zhi take care of his relatives, because according to the current situation, his smart group His relatives will probably go back to pack their luggage immediately and follow him to gathering place No. 4.
Otherwise, if Liu Zhi were to find some more evidence, wouldn't everyone be dragged to the village square and shot?
"That's good, it seems that Vice Lord Lin is a sensible person."
"It's all gone, it's all gone!"
"Don't hang around It’s weird at the entrance of the village, so many people are watching.”
Liu Zhi waved and shouted a few words, and the crowd that had just gathered to watch the excitement dispersed immediately.
Lin Chengjia, whose screams on the ground were getting weaker and weaker, was dragged away by the defense team like a dead dog.
Being shot in the wasteland is a matter of narrow escape.
It can be said that there is almost no medical condition. Even if the gunshot wound is cured, subsequent infections cannot be treated.
While I still have a breath of life, I quickly pulled him to the defense team and pressed the fingerprints of confession.
The next step is to bury it or take it away, just leave it to the Lin family.
"Captain Tan, I'm sorry to trouble you next."
"Lord Liu, what are you talking about? It's your own business." Tan Wei immediately smiled and removed the title from Deputy Lord Liu just now. The subtitle.
Basically few people know that he is actually Ji Wuming's man.
Now that it is clear in advance that Ji Wuming will take up an important position in Tianyuan Territory, and Liu Zhi will take over as the new lord, shouldn't he hurry up and fawn over him?
At night.
The news that Liu Zhi became the new manager of gathering place No. 2 and that Lin Deying was dispatched as the manager of gathering place No. 4 spread throughout the Honghua Gang territory as promised.
Other managers who didn’t know the inside story were surprised, especially the managers of Gathering Place No. 1 and Gathering Place No. 3, who kept guessing what happened in the middle.
But for more ordinary survivors, the people in Gathering No. 2 applauded for a while that the cancerous tumor of the Lin family had been eliminated. In fact, no one in the remaining three gathering places paid attention.
Disaster struck, and the temperature at night was already close to freezing.
The wheat in the field has an obvious tendency to wither and fall, and no one cares about other things.
In the abandoned warehouse, everyone did not care about the next development of the gathering place, but turned their attention back to business.
"Lord Ji is indeed trustworthy. It seems that it is not unreasonable for the dwarf to be willing to cooperate with you."
The beaming Liu Zhi walked from the warehouse door and saw that he was under house arrest. Ji Wuming, who was pacing back and forth, couldn't help but smile.
The latter laughed angrily and said bravely: "Lord Liu is joking. After this matter is done, when will we start the next cooperation?"
" You can’t rush this, it depends on what Mr. Yehu and Tianyuan want.”
While the two were talking, Xiao Yang came out and motioned to follow him to the meeting hall.
When they arrived and sat down in the council hall, a compiled plan was handed to the two of them.
“You guys take a look at the plan first, Master Yehu will be here in a moment.”
About ten minutes later, Yehu arrived belatedly. The anger dissipated.
“It’s really a tough problem. It will be difficult to solve it in a short while.”
The process of interrogating the Demon Soul Clan was not smooth, or it could be said to be a complete failure.
The various tortures that the wanderers were afraid of would not have much effect on the Demon Soul Tribe.
They have the ability to autonomously disconnect neural links and can block any external touch and pain, which directly makes it difficult to use torture methods.
Instead of attacking the mind, not to mention the time cost, the opponent's tolerance is also a question mark.
Once the dwarves are aware of the problems in the Red Flower Gang's territory, it will be difficult to carry out subsequent sneak attacks.
"Mr. Hunter Tiger, I don't think we actually need to cooperate with foreign races." Ji Wuming hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "In your plan, you want to lead people through the Demon Soul Clan to infiltrate the dwarves. This is actually impossible. As far as I know, they don't have such great rights."
"The dwarves will not agree to us sending a large number of humans over, no, three is the most! I have to be here, they are very vigilant and will never let others enter at will."
If they dare to cooperate with humans, they will naturally be prepared with countermeasures.
If some ordinary methods can work, then it is too underestimated the ability of the dwarves of all nations!
