In this autumn season of chirping birds and fragrant flowers, scorching summer, Magnum officials, aristocrats and wealthy people are ushering in the cold winter and their own violent storms and snows.
Zhou Li is back again.
Of course, the first time of pain, the second time of sadness, the third, fourth and even the rest of the time are actually just numbness, or even enjoyment.
This time, when the nobles of Magnum learned the "good news" that Zhou Li was preparing to return to the court and would meet Magnum soon, they did not gather together to hold a hero interest class as before, nor did they beat the gong. Dagudi prepared to fight against Zhou Li and give him a try.
These nobles just smiled freely after receiving the news, threw away the gold coins and money bags in their hands, returned home, held their children or wives and enjoyed the happiness of their family. In fact, these nobles no longer pursue wealth excessively, nor do they deliberately try to squeeze out the last bit of money from civilians, nor do they only think about making war fortune all day long.
"What can he do to me?!"
In the gorgeous mansion, He Chen, a Magnum first-level administrative official and the head of the parliament, slapped the table. Facing his mourning cousin, he sneered and gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I don't care what kind of brave man he is. , he can’t even care about me.”
"Cousin, do you have a way to deal with him?!"
Why should He Chen's cousin look at his cousin who has been extremely smart and sinister since he was a child? His face that was originally crying was suddenly filled with surprise. He quickly came to He Chen's side and asked anxiously: "Hurry up? Say, what should we do? This brave man almost knocked out half of our family’s lives last time he came here, so he can’t kill us directly this time?”
"Hmph, he dares?!"
He Chen slapped the case and stood up, with a ferocious smile on his face, "This time, I am invincible, and the brave can no longer do anything to me!"
"Cousin, if you have any tricks, tell me quickly."
He Chen's cousin suddenly became interested, "Have you found a forbidden spell to deal with brave men, or have you contacted high-level forces outside the country. Could it be said that you have found a powerful person at the god-given level? Or is it that His Majesty the Third Can't stand him anymore?" Are you ready to deal with him with his style?"
He Chen's originally high interest suddenly froze. He looked at his cousin in disbelief, unable to understand whether this species was his family's bloodline. After a moment, he asked blankly:
"Cousin, did you have your head cremated before you came here?"
"ah?"
Looking at He Bi who looked at a loss and didn't understand what he meant at all, He Chen suddenly took a breath of cold air. He looked at the other person in disbelief and said in shock:
"Brother, the only forbidden spell in this world that can deal with the brave is disaster, but the first one killed by the disaster is definitely you and me, not the brave. Secondly, there is only one foreign force that can fight against the brave. We usually call them Twelve quarters. Also, the brave man just killed a god a few days ago. If you think that the god can touch him, you can give it a try. Finally, guess what the last time we cleared our illegal goods Whose subordinates are the three legions?"
Are you stupid?
He Chen was about to ask this question directly. For the nobles of Magnum, Zhou Li was no longer their enemy, or in other words, they were not qualified to be regarded as opponents by Zhou Li at all. Look at what Zhou Li has done before. Ancient gods, twelve righteous gods, disasters, and divine disasters that can destroy a country.
Look at people like you, a bunch of chickens and dogs built from clay, just like selling their own heads with a price on their heads. With creatures like his cousin stacked up together, they probably wouldn't be enough for Zhou Li to kill him casually.
"Cousin, my method of dealing with Zhou Li is to give him no excuse to attack."
Patting his chest, He Chen said solemnly: "The last time he fucked me was by fixing water leaks and enclosing the land without paying. So, I paid all the taxes owed directly in March this year. , and return all the taxes previously transferred to farmers to them, and double the compensation.”
"The last time he attacked us was because we were making war profits. So this time, when something big happened to Tarik, we didn't even give a shit at the first time. As expected, Magnum III
A meeting was held directly the next day, asking us to come up with things to assist Tariq. "
Hearing these words, why bother suddenly realized, and then said with a clear face: "I understand, cousin, through this aid project, you directly make loan sharks secretly, and then use the leverage of wealth to give Tariq a hard time." In this way, not only will you get back the money you spent on taxes, but you will also give the brave man no excuse to deal with you, right?"
Grass.
Looking at the proud man in front of him, who seemed to want to be praised by his cousin, He Chen felt his veins popping up and his fists trembling uncontrollably. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The people who did this last time are still digging potatoes in the snowfields of the north. They bought shovels at their own expense."
"I met with other congressmen directly after the conference. Not to mention your mother's loan sharking, we even lost money to Tariq for assistance. Just for the stone, we imported a large amount of high-quality stone from Muqi and transported it at our own expense. Tariq, not to mention making money when we come and go, we directly lost hundreds of thousands in travel expenses and materials."
"I'll go, brother, what are you doing?!"
Why bother to look frightened and ask incomprehensibly: "Is this still profitable?"
"Is money more important than life?"
He Chen looked at his cousin and asked angrily: "Are you stupid? Can you think about it with your brain, if I do this, will a brave man have an excuse to mess with me? He is a brave man no matter what. The Basic Law has to be respected, and he can't beat me to death just for any reason. Is this reasonable? I asked you to do this just to protect yourself."
Then, He Chen looked at the sweat on his cousin's head, and a very bad idea appeared in his mind. He stiffened his face and asked, "Why bother? I asked you to reduce or even cancel the factory." In the exploitation of workers, you..."
"I thought you wanted me to further extract the value of those employees, so I just kicked out some workers who were not physically up to par for whatever reason. The others' wages remained the same but they had to take on more work... "
Why should I cry at this time?
He Chen was already crying.
"Should I ask you to make up for the money you paid for the last demolition? You didn't even do it, right?!"
He asked tremblingly, and He Bi gave the answer.
"I thought, I thought you had established a good relationship with the Land Bureau, so I took over the other two pieces of land and gave the director of the Land Bureau 200,000 gold coins, but he confiscated them."
Why bother had already begun to grind his upper and lower teeth, and He Chen's face at this time was no different from a pig's liver. He pointed at He Chen and asked loudly: "Where is your human trade? Where is the catching team that I asked you to disband?"
Looking at He Bi, who was pale and unable to say a word, and could only kneel on the ground shivering, He Chen felt a chill from the root of his tail to the sky.
It's over.
"Come to the highest city of silver, the He family!"
At this moment, Zhou Li's voice appeared in He Bi's mind like a devil's whisper. At this moment, he seemed to recall that day, the fear that they, the originally aloof nobles, felt dominated by Zhou Li.
"Oh, isn't this He Shen?"
Accompanied by the code name that no one knew, Zhou Li, wearing a black windbreaker and holding a mithril-gold cane, appeared at the door with a smile, leaning on the door frame, and said happily to He Shen: "You haven't been captured by Mage yet. I am very happy that Nan Sanshi stabbed him to death."
Hearing the same words as that day, He Chen suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold and his mind went blank. After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Li, and said tremblingly: "Master Brave, I was wrong."
"?"
This time, it was Zhou Li's turn to be confused.
What the hell?
Zhou Li, who was about to discuss the stone business with He Chen, saw He Bi kneeling on the ground as soon as he came in, and He Chen, who was trembling and holding his waist. He looked at He Chen who looked innocent and wanted to explain something to himself, and then looked at He Bi who was kneeling on the ground with a despairing heart. Suddenly, a forbidden brotherly love story emerged in his mind. inside.
Then Zhou Li almost vomited.
I can't help it, these two are too round.
Seeing the brave man in front of him who suddenly had a weird expression and then stopped vomiting, He Chen suddenly felt his heart drop. He knew that he had to make a choice.
"For all the wrong things he did, I will bring him before the Holy Lord and let him explain them one by one, and then atone for his sins to the country and the court. Please tell me the truth!!!"
He Chen resolutely gave up on his cousin, while He Bi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly calmed down with relief after trembling for a while. He knew that his cousin was not unkind, on the contrary, he was already using all his strength to protect himself.
You can't blame your cousin if you don't fight.
"No, what about Goba?"
Zhou Li was completely stunned. He came here today simply because he wanted to discuss a stone business with He Chen. After all, he was dropping by today, and He Chen’s family was doing this kind of thing, so he wanted to drop by directly. The business is settled.
The words he just said just reminded him of how he broke into the parliament after Yingnan came back, so he wanted to recall how he felt at the beginning.
But for some reason, after seeing themselves, one of the two brothers was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and the other was so frightened that he almost castrated himself. Then the brother-in-law and brother-in-law brothers directly acted out a righteous act of annihilation.
"No, I'm just here to discuss business with you. What are you doing?"
Zhou Li had a question mark on his face, but He Chen just smiled more desperately after hearing his words.
Yes, in the face of absolute power, we nobles who seem to be superior are nothing more than an insignificant business. When I pushed my brother out, it was just a part of the business.
It seems that he is not ready to let us go...
"Master Brave, how about adding me, an old dog?"
Smiling miserably, He Chen whispered: "Although I can't be called honest and kind in my life, I haven't done many wrong things. As long as you are willing to bypass our He family, my old life will be enough for this unsatisfactory person." My brother atoned for his sins."
Zhou Li fell silent as he watched the increasingly bizarre plot. After a long while, he rolled up his sleeves and walked forward, giving each of the brothers a bloody beating.
"Fuck, I finally thought about negotiating a normal business deal with you, and you're still here playing drama?"
Pointing at He Chen who was hung up and beaten with a bruised nose and face, Zhou Li asked angrily: "Are you awake? Are you still going crazy?"
"I was wrong, I stopped generating electricity."
He Chen, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, replied angrily. After Zhou Li's unfriendly explanation, he realized that Zhou Li was not here to take his life, but simply to discuss business.
"Can we talk about the stone business?"
Facing Zhou Li's friendly inquiry, He Chen immediately nodded his head like a piston and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, we can talk about it all, as long as I don't lose too much, how much do you want."
"*** made me look like a villain."
Stepping on the back of He Bi, who was beaten and unconscious, Zhou Li crossed his arms and asked angrily: "What's wrong with you, brother? Your legs tremble when you see me?"
He Chen was silent for a long time. He closed his eyes, sighed quietly, and then told everything He Bi had done. He knew that Zhou Li wanted to know this, and he and others had no room to resist.
"Oh, what next?"
After nodding his head and saying "Oh," Zhou Li asked doubtfully, "Did he offend me?"
"No."
"Has he touched my interests?"
After thinking about it, He Chen shook his head.
"Then do I have to threaten him because I have something to do?"
After recalling it carefully, and after confirming that his cousin was mentally retarded and that Zhou Li would most likely not be able to use him, He Chen said honestly, "Probably not."
"That's none of my business."
Zhou Li asked with an expression of incomprehension: "What does tax evasion, forced demolition and forced purchase have to do with me? Isn't this a matter between the Ministry of Justice and that old man from Magnum III? You are confused.
Why is Miao still related to me? "
"?"
He Chen was stunned.
"Aren't you the embodiment of justice?"
"Aren't you a bitch?"
Zhou Li said directly: "When we leave the Twilight Forest, aren't we all you rotten people? Have you got anything to do with me? When did I say that I am the embodiment of justice? I donate to the poor. Do you want to pay or hang street lamps for the rich? Bro, you will make money if I discuss business with you, are you stupid?"
He Chen was stunned when he heard this.
yes.
Only then did he realize that Zhou Li had never attacked him and others out of justice. He seemed to have attacked himself with purpose before. As for the life and death of civilians...
He really didn't seem to care.
"Then why did you report me for tax evasion last time, and why did you personally lead a team to inspect my home?"
This time, He Chen asked a question that he had buried deeply for a long time.
"nonsense."
With a puzzled expression, Zhou Li said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want to find an excuse to mess with you."
"A brave man must also teach the basic laws."
