Seeing Zhou Gui appear with murderous intent, Lu Wuji was a little surprised: "Deputy General Zhou, why are you here?"
Now Zhou Gui wanted to beat Lu Wuji to death. Without even looking at Lu Wuji, he shouted: "Everyone, put down your weapons and squat down. Otherwise, we will treat him as a traitor to the Longya Guard."
As one of the four general managers of the Dragon Tooth Guard, Zhou Gui is the first deputy general manager, but he has always only been in charge of economics and finance and rarely interferes with major matters of the Dragon Tooth Guard. As a result, he does not have much prestige among the Dragon Tooth Guard.
Therefore, when this order was issued, the team on Lu Wuji's side all looked at each other and all looked towards Lu Wuji.
Unexpectedly, this move deeply hurt the self-esteem of Zhou Gui, a veteran of the Dragon Tooth Guard. He was the second in command of the Dragon Tooth Guard, and when he issued an order, no one immediately executed it.
It seems that the tiger has been dormant for so long that even the Dragon Tooth Guards don't take him seriously and regard him as a sick cat.
Lu Wuji looked surprised and came closer: "Deputy General Zhou, what happened to make you so aggressive?"
Lu Wuji has been teasing Jiang Chen and the others here and hasn't left the dark cell area for several hours. Who knows what is happening in the outside world?
Moreover, Qianlan Nangong, Duobao Dojo, and Qingyang Valley Lei Yiyi all used their connections in private without any fanfare, so Lu Wuji did not receive any news at all.
It was okay for Lu Wuji not to ask, but his behavior became the biggest offense in Zhou Gui's eyes.
"The Great Dragon Tooth Order is here. Anyone who does not kneel down will be killed without mercy."
What Zhou Gui brought this time were all the real elites of the Long Ya Guards. They were more powerful and core than the troops brought by Lu Wuji.
As soon as they saw the Great Dragon Tooth Order, everyone was dumbfounded. Lu Wuji's whole body was instantly petrified. He only heard "clang" and "clang" from behind, and the team that Lu Wuji brought abandoned their armor one by one.
, prostrate on the ground.
Seeing the Great Dragon Tooth Order is as if the Chief Supervisor is coming in person.
In the Dragon Tooth Guard, the Grand Steward, that is, the Grand Steward, controls the life and death of everyone in the Dragon Tooth Guard.
The Great Dragon Tooth Order is the totem of the Dragon Tooth Guard. Just like when ordinary people see gods and Buddhas, their first thought is to obey, and their second thought is to obey.
"Lu Wuji, why don't you kneel down when you see the Great Dragon Tooth Order? Do you really want to rebel?"
Behind Zhou Gui, there was a sharp shout, followed by the sound of swords being unsheathed.
Lu Wuji was completely stunned, but his remaining sense made him involuntarily bend his legs and kneel down.
Obeying the Great Dragon Tooth Order is almost the first military rule that every Dragon Tooth Guard must learn before joining the army.
"Who is Tian Shao?" Zhou Gui asked.
Tian Shao in the rear stood up: "Subordinate Tian Shao, please pay your respects to Deputy General Manager Zhou."
Zhou Gui was very pleased and nodded in approval: "Tian Shao, the chief manager already knows what's going on here. You can stick to yourself and not compromise to evil trends. Very good, very good."
Tian Shao was confused at first and didn't understand what was going on. After listening to Zhou Gui's words, he suddenly realized that the matter of daring to love had already alarmed the chief manager.
And Deputy General Zhou came here with murderous intent, he came to bring order to the chaos, he came to stop Lu Wuji from going the wrong way, and he came to support Jiang Chen.
Being praised like this by Zhou Gui, Tian Shao felt sad and felt that the humiliation he had just suffered was worth it.
"Deputy General Zhou, my subordinates are incompetent and only did what they were expected to do. If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Zhou Gui nodded: "Go and open the door. I want to personally apologize to little brother Jiang Chen."
As soon as these words were said, Lu Wuji and his followers felt a chill in their hearts. What does it mean when Zhou Gui calls Jiang Chen his little brother?
It means that the direction of the wind has changed, and it means that the chief manager will personally protect Jiang Chen.
No matter how powerful Lu Wuji is and how strong his backers are, can he be more powerful than the general manager?
"Jiang Chen, you have been wronged. If you apologize too much, it will be empty talk. I only have one promise. We, the Dragon Tooth Guard, will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
Jiang Chen actually didn't suffer much at all.
"Deputy Manager Zhou, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. The Dragon Tooth Guard controls an army of millions, so it is inevitable that a few scum will appear. Captain Arita Shao tried his best to mediate this matter, so I didn't suffer much.
"
Zhou Gui was slightly startled. He originally thought that if the young man suffered such a great injustice, he would definitely have to act violently before he would give up. However, he did not expect that Jiang Chen would take it easy and laugh it off.
For a time, Zhou Gui's impression of Jiang Chen suddenly rose to a very high level.
"You're right. Tian Shao has not lost his soldier's integrity. I admire him very much. Little brother Jiang, if you don't mind, can we take a step and say a few words?"
Jiang Chen waved his hand gently: "Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask Lu Dutong a few words."
Zhou Gui nodded. He had a normal relationship with Zhou Gui's backer, Deputy General Manager Yang. Seeing Jiang Chen acting like this, he would naturally not object.
If he could take the opportunity to make things bigger and dampen Deputy General Yang's arrogance, Zhou Gui would be happy to see it happen.
"Lü Dotong, I don't know how big your official position is and how terrifying your power is. I just want to ask you, what grudge do I have against you? You insist on turning my self-defense into a murder case?"
Lu Wuji was silent and speechless. He was a king and defeated a bandit. Now he was kneeling on the ground. He said one thousand and said ten thousand. It was all false and lacked confidence.
He was gnashing his teeth with hatred in his heart. His mind was also in chaos, and he couldn't figure out. Isn't this Jiang Chen just a foreigner? He is somewhat famous in the Eastern Kingdom, but in the Tiangui Kingdom, what does that little fame mean?
Why did such a trivial matter alert the chief executive?
This Jiang Chen is just an ant from the Eastern Kingdom, the general manager has a body of thousands of dollars. Who can let him personally intervene except His Majesty the King?
"Fourth Prince?" Such a thought flashed through Lu Wuji's mind, and he immediately denied it, "The Fourth Prince is only second to third-rate among all the princes. He is not even worthy of carrying shoes with the eldest prince. He has no time to curry favor with the chief steward, so why?
Is it possible to influence the decision-making of the General Manager?”
Lu Wuji couldn't figure it out.
"If you want to kill me, I can understand that you have accepted the benefits of Qianlan Beigong, or you have been forced by them. But, what are the crimes of my subordinates? After you kept saying you wanted to kill me, you sold them to the slave market
Go? Are you a Dragon Tooth Guard or a bandit?"
"Tian Shao, he is your colleague, but you actually care about his wife and daughter. I want to ask, are you a human being or a beast in human skin?"
When Tian Shao heard this, he clenched his fists with both hands, and endless hatred shot out from his eyes.
"You said that nothing in heaven or on earth could save me. You also said that once I got to this dark cell area, it would be impossible for me to get out alive. Now, I can leave immediately; but you, kneeling here like a dog. You said
The second person in the sky, the third person in the earth, you are the boss here. So I want to ask you, who are you now?"
Lu Wuji was suddenly thrown from heaven to hell, and was ridiculed repeatedly by Jiang Chen. The feeling of humiliation in his heart completely exploded.
"Jiang Chen, you country bumpkin and beast, what are you so proud of? This matter is not over yet."
Zhou Gui scolded: "Lu Wuji, you are lawless and abuse your power. This time, even if you have a huge backer, I can't protect you."
Lu Wuji laughed loudly: "Deputy General Zhou, don't scare me. It's still unclear how this case will be decided."
"Both opinions? You are too naive. In this case, the witness has been protected by the general manager. Coupled with the witnesses at the scene, the case is already very clear."
"So what? At most I just made a mistake in handling the case. What can be done to me?"
Negligence in handling a case can at most be considered a crime of dereliction of duty. This kind of crime can be light or serious. If it is a light crime, it will mean a reduction in position. If it is a serious crime, at most it will be dismissal.
Zhou Gui was speechless for a moment. If it were any other governor who had done these things and caused such a disaster, he might even have lost his life.
However, Lu Wuji is lawless because he has a backer.
With Deputy General Manager Yang standing there, it is very likely that he will be charged with dereliction of duty in the end and receive a lighter sentence.
It won't be long before this guy is sure to sneak back into the position of deputy capital commander.
After all, Deputy General Manager Yang has certain powers of appointment and dismissal, which not even the First Deputy General Manager Zhou Gui has.
Jiang Chen was not interested at all in how Lu Wuji was dealt with within Longya Guard.
What interests him is how much benefit can be gained from this matter.
To put it bluntly, Lu Wuji is just a chess piece. For such a small person, if one dies, there will be another one. Killing one will not reduce the number, and leaving one will not increase the number.
Jiang Chen has hundreds of ways to kill such a small character.
Seeing Zhou Gui's silence, a smart person like Jiang Chen knew that although Zhou Gui had a high status, he might not be able to make the decision.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, I don't want to get involved in your Longya Guard's family affairs. However, I won't treat this matter as if nothing happened."
Zhou Gui smiled bitterly, just because this young man didn't show off his edge, it didn't mean that he didn't have it. They didn't make things difficult for him, Zhou Gui, because he was well-educated.
However, this matter does not mean that it is settled just like that.
"Tian Shao, for the time being, you are responsible for little brother Jiang Chen's safety in the royal capital. Remember, our Dragon Tooth Guard made the mistake in this matter first. You must take good care of little brother Jiang Chen."
"I obey," Tian Shao accepted the order.
Zhou Gui had no choice, and he couldn't promise anything to Jiang Chen. After all, it was the chief manager who had the final say on how to deal with this matter.
What Zhou Gui could do was to keep his posture as low as possible to make Jiang Chen feel more favorably.
Lu Wuji was a little stunned. Seeing Jiang Chen actually leaving like that, he didn't even say a harsh word or protest strongly. Lu Wuji angrily demanded that he be severely punished.
He almost couldn't believe his eyes. Jiang Chen just left like this?
This guy, turns out to be a weakling who only uses his words? He knows that I, Lu Wuji, can’t be offended, but he doesn’t even have the courage to pursue the case. Haha, a country bumpkin has never seen the world. After all, he is a country bumpkin who cannot stand up to the stage.
Although Lu Wuji was kneeling on the ground, he felt no pressure in his heart. Jiang Chen didn't pursue the case anymore, so there was no reason to pursue the case within the Dragon Tooth Guard.
