Chapter 1325 Easily ascend to the top and counter the dwarves!
"What are you doing? You are going to do whatever you want. You are all crazy about wanting to be on top, aren't you?"
"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, you are going to be disgusting when disaster comes, don't you? Be careful, I will die with you!"
Lin Deying, the manager of gathering place No. 2, 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 whom 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 confronts them is the current nominal defense team of the Red Flower Gang territory.
Of course, it can also be said that they are Ji Wuming's private soldiers. There are about sixty people, led 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, this time
We have to ask Mr. Lin to go over and take charge of gathering place No. 4 first, and then we can arrange a new manager after we find out who the murderer is."
"And Mr. Lin will still be the manager of gathering place No. 2 by then. This can be guaranteed."
Wang Jirong's attitude made Lin Deying a little confused. If he really followed what he said and had been the manager of Gathering No. 4 for a period of time, it would not be a big problem to clear away the suspicion.
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 the trouble they were looking for was all Liu Zhi's fault and had nothing to do with him, it still slapped him in the face.
However, 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 Singer.
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 act as the temporary 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 all angered by these words.
Several men looked at each other and stepped forward to glare at Wang Jirong:
"What, are you here to cause trouble? Why don't you let Liu Zhi go to be the manager of gathering place No. 4?"
"But there is no conflict between Liu Zhi and Singer. They haven't met each other during this time." Wang Jirong spread his hands and squinted his eyes.
"You can't tell me that Lord Singer came to the No. 2 gathering place during this period 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 the conflict between Singer and Liu Zhi has nothing to do with me!"
"That's right, Liu Zhi still wants to be the lord, why don't you let Ji Wuming give up the lord position to him."
"Go away, go away, don't say anything today to get us to go to gathering place No. 4."
"You're right, whoever wants to go to the cesspit can go there. We can't go there anyway."
A group of people started shouting again, and some impulsively rushed forward to push the defense team members.
Everyone retreated, but Wang Jirong kept squinting his eyes and focusing on Lin Deying.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
By virtue of Lin Deying's status as manager, these relatives frequently took advantage of gathering place No. 2.
Most of the best plots of land nearby were given to his family for farming.
Moreover, most of the supplies that were usually distributed were pocketed by Lin Deying for personal gain.
These are 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 her 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 one after another. Even those who hated him did not dare to offend him.
After all, everyone knew that Liu Zhi had been on the line with Tianyuan territory during this period, and his status had 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's attitude was even more cordial and he 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 was because Liu Zhi was a loner and could not gather a private army that could 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 in the gathering place now?"
"Deputy Lord Liu said something serious. We just have some doubts about the suspicion of Singh's death." Lin Deying broke out in a few drops of cold sweat. She didn't expect Liu Zhi to put such a big blame on him.
"If we go to gathering place No. 4 without any questions, doesn't it mean there is something wrong in our minds?"
"That's right. There is indeed something strange about Mr. Singh's death. I heard that he was dug out of the ground at midnight last night. He died miserably."
"Hey, maybe you sent someone to do this, and you're 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 had just spoken quickly lowered his head in an attempt to hide himself.
However, unexpectedly, Liu Zhi, who was usually kind and kind, suddenly turned gloomy at this moment.
"Whoever 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 fine to say something like this in private, but now it's too bold to say it in public.
What's more, not even Lin Deying dared to ridicule him so directly, let alone ordinary survivors.
"I repeat, who said this just now?"
"I said, what's wrong?" Pressed by invisible pressure, the middle-aged man who had just spoken stood up bravely, with his face turning blue and white and saying: "The territory of the Honghua Gang, the No. 2 gathering place, is still there now.
There can’t be any doubts, right?”
Bang.
A violent explosion sounded 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 take 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 dyed red instantly, Lin Deying was almost scared to death.
"You are crazy, Liu Zhi, killing people in the street. What do you want to do, rebel?"
"Rebellion, Lin Deying, even if I gave you face in the past, your relatives don't take me seriously?" Liu Zhi blew on the muzzle of the gun and sniffed the smell of gunpowder from the muzzle intoxicated.
"Lin Chengjia, male, 38 years old, embezzled six acres of public land, embezzled 60 kilograms of public seeds, and embezzled a number of public materials in the gathering area, including the materials I brought back from Tianyuan. He took 12 sets of clothes alone."
"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 their hearts pounding, as if someone had seen through their underwear.
Are you prepared for this?
Lin Chengjia is Lin Deying's cousin and a famous bully in the No. 2 gathering place. He owns all the best fields around the gathering place.
Who would have thought that Liu Zhi would kill him without hesitation.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm 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." He stepped forward and patted Lin Deying's somewhat stiff shoulder, with a smile on Liu Zhi's face.
Continued:
"But if someone is disobedient, don't blame me for doing things 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 do not follow the rules should be punished." Wang Jirong, who had been silent since Liu Zhi appeared, said quickly, with a very flattering expression on his face.
Tan Wei was even more straightforward, saying directly: "The evidence that Lin Chengjia embezzled public property is in our defense team, and it 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 turned pale, and she immediately no longer dared to mess around.
"After I leave, gathering place No. 2 will be temporarily handed over to you."
He didn't ask Liu Zhi to take care of his relatives, because according to the current situation, his smart relatives would probably go back to pack their luggage immediately and follow him to the 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 crowd around the entrance of the village. It's outrageous. There are so many people watching."
Liu Zhi waved his hands 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 he was still alive and breathing, he quickly went to the defense team to have his fingerprints of confession pressed.
The next step is to bury it or take it away, just leave it to the Lin family to handle.
"Captain Tan, I'd like to trouble you next."
"Lord Liu, what are you talking about? This is your duty." Tan Wei immediately smiled and removed the subtitle from the previous title of Deputy Lord Liu.
Basically, few people know that he is actually Ji Wuming's man.
Now that we know 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 we 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 what was going on were surprised, especially the managers of gathering places No. 1 and 3, who kept guessing what happened in the middle.
But for more ordinary survivors, only 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.
The 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 couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Wuming, who was under house arrest and pacing back and forth inside.
The latter laughed angrily and said bravely: "Lord Liu, you are joking. After this matter is done, when will we start the next cooperation?"
"We 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 parliament 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 later."
About ten minutes later, Hunting Tiger arrived belatedly, and there was still an aura of hostility that had not dissipated from his body.
"It's really a tough problem. It will be very difficult to solve it in a short time."
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.
Switching to mind-attacking methods, not to mention the issue of time consumption, the opponent's tolerance is also a question mark.
Once the dwarves become 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 there. A maximum of two, no, three people is the maximum! And I must be among them. They are very vigilant and will never let others enter at will."
If you dare to cooperate with humans, you will naturally be prepared with countermeasures.
If some ordinary methods can work, then it would be too small to underestimate the ability of the dwarfs from all over the world!
