Less than a month later, Le Yu came to the headquarters of the Silver Blood Association to discuss matters.
And just like the last time, this time it is still an emergency convening, rather than a routine evaluation every quarter. If the routine evaluation every quarter is everyone sharing the cake, then the emergency convening discussion is naturally everyone sharing the pot -
-The world is like this. Good things are always hidden and reluctant to be told to you, just like the arrogant San Wu, while bad things are like the sickly idiot who can't wait to jump in your face.
What's even worse than the last time is that the last meeting was in the morning. After everyone divided the pot, they could go out to have lunch and take a breather, pretending that nothing happened.
And this time it was a late-night meeting, which naturally did not mean that everyone could go have a late-night snack after discussing the matter - but that the matter had become so serious that there was no room for a whole day.
Le Yu specially brought Jing Shou here this time. He still knew himself. In order to keep the Jing family in a deadlocked state, he still had to listen to the opinions of the old capitalists on such a big matter.
The moment he stepped into the meeting hall, Le Yu realized the solemnity of the atmosphere. This solemnity was not reflected in everyone's silence, but in the fact that everyone was whispering.
You must know that when these businessmen sat on the chairs in the conference hall, they had already entered the silver-blood spiritual sea. However, even the strong coverage of the spiritual sea could not crush the uneasiness in their hearts. It was precisely because they were at a loss that they
I can't help but find someone to discuss it with.
They are panicking! They are panicking!
They didn't panic when half of the city was burned down, but they are really panicking now!
After Leyu sat down for a moment, he saw a short old man on crutches being helped in by Tingjiu.
He was wearing a jet-black robe, his gray hair was straightened and fixed, and his face was criss-crossed with furrows, but there was no trace of the old age that bowed to the years in the wrinkles on his face. Instead, he was full of wolf Gujuan's mad unwillingness!
Also carried in at the same time was a gorgeous instrument that Le Yu was very familiar with - a hookah.
It's just that it's different from the gold and silver nouveau riche style that Jing Qingfu likes. This hookah looks very gloomy and weird. The overall style is dark and gray. There is a cold skull forged from white steel on the top. The smoking hose comes from
The eyebrows of the skull extend out, as if what you are smoking is not hookah, but the brain and soul.
The short old man slowly sat on the main seat, gently moved his sleeves, and Tingjiu obediently put the hose in his hand. He took a heavy breath, and the transparent hose was suddenly filled with thick black smoke, making Le Yu frown.
Jumping wildly - Naturally, the color of the smoke can be determined by the condiments. Jing Qingqing's hookah is dyed milk color, which makes it full of fairy spirit when smoked.
Why do some people dye themselves black?
Is this dyed with octopus ink?
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho…
As the short old man slowly exhaled the black mist, the silver-blooded spiritual sea seemed to be invaded by a strong and arrogant consciousness. The dark and powerful will overcame the consciousness of the other eighty-seven people like night. All those seated including Le
Even as I spoke, I could vaguely see scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in my mind.
The battlefield where bullets are flying, the famine where bones are everywhere, the brutal massacre of weapons...
Those who sat down couldn't help but tremble, and the natural fear of death suddenly arose in their hearts. However, what followed was a sense of collective courage and confidence.
The Silver Blood Society has experienced so many ups and downs, so why is it afraid of the challenges of this moment?
Their spirits seem to be integrated with the dark will, accepting the coercion of the spiritual sea, completely erasing the weakness in their hearts, and becoming a member of the vast ocean!
"Are we all here?"
The short old man's voice was as light as a falling feather, but the voice seemed to come directly from their hearts. The other eighty-seven people almost subconsciously replied in unison: "All members of Silver Blood welcome the president!"
This short old man is surprisingly the current president of the Silver Blood Association, the first Silver Blood Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the firearms factory, the head of the Tingjia family, Tinggu!
Le Yu vaguely realized that Tinggu's 'spiritual transmission' and 'spiritual pollution' were probably because Tinggu had been the president for many years, and his mental power resonated with the Silver Blood Spiritual Sea and even gained some authority, so he
Only then did he use this weird technique that reaches directly into the spirit.
If the Silver Blood meeting had been brought forward one day, Le Yu would have temporarily lost himself in the spiritual sea of Lord Tinggu, and completely became a loyal fan of the Silver Blood Society, devoting all his strength to the survival of the Silver Blood Society.
But after activating the "Ice Blood Physique", Le Yu clearly felt the existence of his "self".
That is the 'existence' that transcends the spirit and is closer to the soul.
Even if the spirit is completely enveloped by the silver-blooded spiritual sea, Leyu's soul can still maintain its own self, stay out of the matter and watch with cold eyes.
If Le Yu's body and spirit are compared to a Gundam, and his soul is likened to a pilot, then the "Zhengwei Gundam" is now remotely controlled by Tinggu, but the pilot Le Yu can switch to manual control at any time and regain control.
No wonder Jing Qingfu would send Jing Shou to discuss matters on his behalf... Le Yu couldn't help but look back at Jing Shou who was standing in the dark. Not being affected mentally is a common attribute of cold-blooded people. Jing Qingqi was probably aware of Jing Shou's passivity.
skills, that’s why we made such a decision.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Hearing Gu Changchang exhaled a puff of black smoke, his old face was filled with carelessness.
"The Heyang army was defeated. They were defeated by Morrowind's Linhai army. They were defeated miserably. They were defeated, defeated, defeated, defeated - all the worries in your minds are right. They were defeated just as you thought.
So serious.”
No one spoke. It was different from when Tingjiu presided over the meeting, where everyone made plans and talked and laughed. Now the Silver Blood members had no idea of speaking. They looked at the president with trusting eyes, waiting for the president to lead them to overcome this dilemma.
Ting Gu coughed twice, "But Lin Haijun didn't want to invade Dongyang and seize the city for his master, Governor Lu Zhong. After defeating the Heyang army, they sent people over to show that they were just looking for the Heyang army to conduct exercises.
jousting'."
"If the Heyang army is unwilling to continue, they will not force it, but they will ask Dongyang to bear the cost of food and grass along the way."
The spiritual sea suddenly became lively, and the silver-blooded members couldn't help but turn up the corners of their mouths and smile.
oops!
What did you think it was?
It turns out I want money!
You should have told me earlier!
Don’t you need to be so impulsive if you just want money? How hurtful!
However, after hearing Gu say the numbers one by one, everyone's smiles disappeared.
"The Sheriff's Office, the government, Wang Haigong, and Heyang Jun have already contacted me," Tinggu puffed out black mist: "The Silver Blood Association needs to bear 80% of the expenses."
"We can definitely make up this money, but it will also cause us a lot of damage. If we send people to negotiate, maybe we can reduce the damage by 10% or 20%. At that time, the amount of the showdown that Silver Blood will be responsible for will be divided into 100%
Sixty-three copies, the Chamber of Commerce ranking from 40th to 40th will be responsible for one copy, the Chamber of Commerce from 21st to 40th will be responsible for two copies, the Chamber of Commerce from 6th to 20th will be responsible for three copies, the four Jingluo Quanlan families will be responsible for four copies, and Lao Chen will be the president.
, listen to the family and give out ten copies. How about that?"
Everyone quickly calculated in their minds that even with such an apportionment, each chamber of commerce would still have to carve out a large piece of meat. Some chambers of commerce that suffered serious losses from the attack in semi-urban areas even wanted to sell off their properties, but no one dared to object to the president's suggestion.
, said in unison: "I will obey the president's instructions!"
Le Yu secretly thought something was wrong.
Silver Blood will be brutally cut off, and they will definitely pass on the losses afterwards, and naturally they cannot pass it on to the upper levels, they can only pass it on to the lower levels!
In this case, there is no need for Le Yu to take action. After this incident, various chambers of commerce will definitely treat exploited workers even more harshly. Coupled with the growing public dissatisfaction, earth-shaking riots are almost around the corner!
But the problem is that the Heyang army was only defeated, not killed!
The Silver Blood Association is not stupid. They will definitely anticipate the possibility of a civil uprising in the future, and will naturally attract the Heyang Army to help suppress it.
Even if the Heyang Army is a group of scum that is cruel internally and cruel externally, to the unarmed civilians, they are still a group of regular troops armed with guns and weapons. Facing the regular troops, civilians are like flowers and plants in a storm, with only one way to perish!
I'm afraid that if there is any disturbance next, the Sheriff's Mansion and the Heyang Army will carry out a bloody massacre without mercy!
Coupled with the influx of refugees from Tianji, many people in Dongyang will definitely starve to death this year. Rather than starting a riot when these people are so hungry, it is better to nip the signs of their rebellion in the bud from the beginning.
Le Yu originally planned to paralyze the Silver Blood Association, secretly fatten up the workers' group, and then fight with the Silver Blood Association. But now that Heyang Jun and Lin Haijun have lost the team battle, if the workers' group wants to jungle and level up, they will definitely
The trembling silver blood will catch the order!
Le Yu's plan wasn't very subtle originally, but now that Lin Haijun has messed it up like this, the success rate has almost dropped to the bottom!
Just as Le Yu was thinking about countermeasures, Ting Gu opened his narrowed eyes, put his left hand tremblingly on the table, then pulled out the soft mouth of the hose, revealing the sharp edges inside, and then inserted it hard -
—
Crack!
Everyone's body trembled as they watched Tinggu slowly raise his left hand, letting everyone see that the back of his hand, which was full of wrinkles and age spots, was leaking bright red liquid.
"Do you still remember the purpose of the Silver Blood Society?" Ting Gu showed a cruel smile: "It is to gain a position for businessmen."
"Those with blunderbuss, pens, and knives can all obtain the status they deserve. Then naturally, those of us with money can do the same!"
"We are not pigs to be slaughtered, nor are we other people's wallets, nor are we powerless cowards!"
Ting Gu coughed several times and said in a hoarse voice: "I Ting Gu will not give them a penny!"
"Blood may be shed, but silver blood may not be shed!"
"Silver blood shall not be shed!"
Low-pitched roars rang out in the meeting hall, and everyone looked at Tinggu with wild eyes. They agreed and worshiped the president from the bottom of their hearts!
I understand, the purpose of the Silver Blood Association is to save money rather than life... Le Yu thought to himself.
"But this matter has to be solved eventually. However, besides giving money, there is a simpler solution."
Tinggu handed his left hand to the medical officer next to him for treatment, and gently stroked his neck with his right hand:
"Kill them all."
Le Yu's heart moved, and she turned to look at the darkness of the meeting hall, and saw a young man walking out of the darkness.
