Chapter 329: One thousand one hundred and one hundred thousand and four hundred gold
Old South York Hotel, Conference Hall
"You are too glib." The seventh prince said, then glanced at the door of the meeting, "Why doesn't the other one come in and talk together?"
"That's enough for me." Lin En quickly brought up the topic to prevent these people from thinking too much about the reason why Reiner was standing outside. "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, don't you mind my origin?"
"Hurry up and tell me your request." The seventh prince said with a sullen face.
The other dignitaries focused their attention on Lin En and exerted silent pressure.
The hotel owner Ralph sat aside, expressionless.
He felt happy in his heart.
With the powerful people taking action, this matter can be settled 100%. This way, my hotel will not be damaged, and the huge sum of 540,000 gold that I have worked so hard to earn can be preserved.
Although he was not the winner in this incident, he did not lose too badly.
When the limelight passes, we can enrich the industry and attract the rich and powerful to come back.
"Let's talk about your requirements first." Lin En said, "You killed so many people at the Old South York Hotel, and things finally turned into this situation. What do you need me to do? Let me state in advance that I can't help you.
To erase the traces of those victims from this world."
"You don't need to solve those things." Marquis Aldrich looked resentful. "All the corpses were thrown into the smelting plant and burned. There are no witnesses who can prove that these people have been to the Old South York Hotel, so this is proof.
It was never really a threat to us."
A prosecutor said: "What you have to do is very simple. Arrange a public speech to make it clear to the public that the contents of the Hurriyet newspaper are false and that you are greedy and want to blackmail us."
"What happens after that?"
"After what?"
"It stands to reason that if I deceived the people like this, I should fake it and be arrested and executed to serve as a warning to others, right?" Lin En asked.
"Don't worry, we will arrange for someone else to die with your identity in mind," said Chief of Security Modi.
"Really?" Lin En smiled, "You will let me go so easily? I exposed your scandal and ruined your reputation."
Actor Tomon raised his head and insisted on wearing sunglasses even indoors: "If you don't believe us, why come here to negotiate?"
Lin En spread his hands: "Because I don't want to offend you to death. Looking at the imperial capital, even the big shots don't have the guts to make enemies with such powerful people as you at the same time."
"That's fine, you just have to trust us." said the director of the Imperial City West District Water Supply Station.
"Yes... As an ordinary person with no background, I can only be played with and trampled by you, so I have no right to talk on an equal footing." Lin En looked directly at His Highness the Seventh Prince, "Is your request that simple?"
"Otherwise?" the seventh prince said disgustedly.
"I mean, the people are not fools. Your statement yesterday was not very effective. So if I speak publicly tomorrow and put all the responsibility on my head, can I fool them?" Lin En tried his best to delay.
The progress of the conversation.
He wanted these powerful people to reveal as much of the truth as possible.
Let the people be completely ‘awakened’.

After the conversation on the radio deepened further, the people basically responded.
They determined that the group of powerful people involved in the broadcast were trying to bribe the people who exposed the truth with money to quell public anger.
As for why the conversation of this group of people was heard by them through the radio.
The people didn't know and didn't think much about it.
After all, some of the voices on the phone are even familiar to them.
For example, the stage actor Tomon, and the police chief...
The broadcast may be a conspiracy, but the sound cannot be faked.
"I didn't expect that to be true! Damn it, these powerful people are so crazy!"
"I didn't believe their statement at all yesterday! The powerful can do anything! This is nothing to them! They have long been accustomed to taking human lives lightly!"
"Oh my god...how could Tomon..."
"The chief of security of the Public Security Bureau is also in the same group?! This is so shady! Who else can uphold justice for us?!"
"How could the Seventh Prince do such a thing as a member of the royal family! Those people died before, who can guarantee that we won't be the next ones?!"
The people were angry and boiling.
This incident is really bad.
There were too many glamorous and powerful people involved, and too many ordinary people of similar age, background, and personality were brutally murdered.
Now it's them again, being fooled by the powerful like fools.
The staff at the square were dumbfounded when they witnessed this scene.
Isn't the company that rents the square broadcast a charity company? Why is there no charity content at all, instead it's just top-secret conversations between adults?
This is bad!
Plaza staff immediately realized the danger.
The company that rents the broadcast must be just a cover! If they allow the other party to spread this kind of news, they will definitely be held accountable!
Offending the big shots is a capital crime of beheading!
So four or five staff members on shift began to rush to the broadcast room, trying to stop the broadcast from continuing.

Old South York Hotel, Conference Hall
"You don't need to worry about those things. Are you questioning our ability? Are you worthy?" Marquis Aldrich was fed up with Lynn's 'alarmism.'
"Okay, okay, I won't talk too much or interfere with your methods of deceiving the people. You just need me to stand up and take the blame for you and prove that you have never done those things, right?" Lin En looked very cooperative.
.
"Yes." The seventh prince said, "How much do you want?"
Lynn leaned back on the chair: "It depends on you."
"What do you mean?" asked the inspector.
"How much do you think a human life is worth?" Lynn asked the fatal question.
"How can human life be measured so simply? Of course there are some that are valuable, and some that are worthless." The president of the Lenk Chamber of Commerce fell into the trap.
"Then how much do you think the common people at the bottom are worth?"
As soon as this question came up, the dignitaries burst into laughter.
Untouchable?
How much could that be worth?
The Vice-President of the High Court first gave a number: "One gold is too much for me."
"Where are the others? Do you feel the same way?" Lin En looked at the other dignitaries.
"One hundred gold is enough for me to buy dozens of coolies."
"I don't care."
"A few gold can make them kill each other, what do you think?"
Several dignitaries gave their opinions.
"Tell the important point." the seventh prince urged.
"Okay." Lin En was very obedient, "Based on the quotes given by several dignitaries, you roughly believe that a civilian's life is only worth two gold. You have killed about two hundred civilians in the Old Nanyue Hotel in the past year.
, then their total value is about four hundred gold."
Two hundred lives, four hundred gold.
Ridiculous prices.
"Then what?" The seventh prince frowned deeply.
"I also need to ask, how much do you think your life is worth?" Lin En asked and answered, "Ten thousand gold? One hundred thousand gold? I think you can all afford this price, so this shouldn't be yours yet.
limit."
"What exactly do you want to express?" The seventh prince's patience reached its limit.
They came here just to ask how much money Lin En wanted and to discuss what they should say when Lin En publicly took the blame.
Lin En thought: "Three hundred thousand gold for one person should be enough, right? If it's any more, some people may not be able to afford it. On average, three hundred thousand gold is just right."
The dignitaries remained silent, waiting for Lin En to reveal what he really wanted to say.
"With so many people present, the total amount is... one million and one million gold." Lin En quickly calculated the astronomical figure, "That's a lot."
"You don't want us to pay you one million and one million gold, do you?" Marquis Aldrich said angrily.
Hotel owner Ralph secretly felt that it was very possible.
Lin En and the others told themselves last night that they might have to negotiate for three million gold. So it is reasonable for the lion to open his mouth first and leave room for you and me to come and go.
But more than ten thousand gold is still too crazy.
No powerful person would be willing to spend such a large amount of money, and they would rather use worse ways to deal with public opinion.
"Of course not." Linn dispelled Marquis Aldrich's doubts, and then put them at the bottom, "We also need to count the price of the innocent people who died. So my final quotation is, one million and one million yuan."
