Seeing that Jiang Sui didn't speak, the officer took two more steps forward: "I wanted to invite you to be my guest last time, but you were too busy! You sit down, and I'll ask someone to help you cook."
If the guards hadn't surrounded Jiang Sui, he would have knelt on the ground and kissed the toes of the governor's shoes to show his loyalty.
Here, betrayal is as common as eating and drinking.
Whoever wins, who they help.
As long as you can ensure your own status, it really doesn't matter which party you swear allegiance to.
The officer also believed in his own worth and believed that the Governor would not reject his loyalty - after all, no matter what owner he is, he needs a dog with sharp teeth.
Surrender early now, and maybe you can get an official position in the new government in the future.
Just as the officer was imagining his future, Jiang Sui's plain voice came from above: "How much tax have you paid for the Governor's Mansion?"
The officer was stunned and soon realized.
It turns out that the shitty governor is here to ask for money!
Problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems. The officer immediately made way for a passage and said very grandly: "Mr. Governor, take whatever you like!"
"In other words, you didn't pay taxes before." Jiang Sui showed a clear expression, nodded, and turned to look at Gu Qinghuan, "Warrant Officer Gu, help me recall the first time I met him. What did he say? What did he say about people who couldn't pay taxes?"
Gu Qinghuan immediately said: "Everyone should die... No, it's time for those who died."
Jiang Sui suddenly showed an expression of confusion: "Can dead people talk?"
"Report to the Governor, no."
Jiang Sui's voice turned cold: "Then why can I still hear dead people talking?"
Gu Qinghuan had goosebumps all over her body when the questions came. She immediately understood what Jiang Sui meant, so she took out a pistol from her waist and pointed it at the officer kneeling on the ground.
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, the officer stood on his head with cold hair: "No, Lord Governor, spare your life! I have hidden a lot of money, and I have the password to open the underground safe house. I am very useful! Spare your life! As long as you spare your life..."
boom! boom! boom!
Three gunshots opened the back of the officer's head and drove all the rest of the officer's words into his stomach.
Gu Qinghuan did not look at the ugly corpse on the ground. She bowed to Jiang Sui and said, "Mr. Governor, I'm sorry."
"without……"
"Mr. Governor, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Just as the governor and the guards were singing and playing the oboe, a girl's desperate cry suddenly came from the corner of the house, "Mr. Governor! Please give me a few days of grace, and I will definitely be able to hand it over. Tax, please don’t sentence my family to death by hanging!”
With that said, the girl struggled to get up and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang Sui.
Sure enough... the officer did not lie to himself, those who cannot pay taxes will be executed!
Even the officer himself couldn't hide - the man who used to be unscrupulous actually knelt down and begged for mercy when he saw the legendary governor!
The officer who usually could decide the life or death of a girl's family with just one word was unexpectedly shot to death like a wild dog on the roadside!
The officer agrees that the girl can use her body to deduct taxes, but the governor may not be willing...
Jiang Sui looked at the frightened girl and was quite speechless.
He just wanted to punish this officer who was a slave to the common people and establish his own rules and dignity. Why did he scare this child like this?
Just what kind of villains do these damned Gerbils portray themselves to be?
Jiang Sui gave him a look, and a robot guard immediately stepped out and held the girl up, preventing her from kneeling down.
"What's your name?" When asking, Jiang Sui took a look at the girl's appearance.
The face is quite delicate, but due to malnutrition and rough skin caused by years of overwork, the overall appearance can only be regarded as above average.
In a place where there is not enough food to eat, it is almost impossible for a tall beauty like Gu Qinghuan to appear.
The girl was held up by the cold metal, trembling all over: "Yan Lin... Mr. Governor, you can call me Yan Lin."
"Yan Lin, very good." Jiang Sui nodded and pointed to the gold nuggets scattered on the ground, "It's not that you didn't pay the tax, but you paid the part of the tax that they should pay for some bad people, do you understand? "
Yan Lin, who had not dared to raise her head, suddenly showed surprise on her face. She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the Governor who had already walked up to her.
The moment the two parties made eye contact, she realized how offensive her move was. She quickly lowered her head again and wanted to kneel down to thank you: "Thank you for your kindness! We will never forget your kindness..."
Jiang Sui didn't like this action very much. He frowned and said, "Don't kneel down all the time. The Gerbil Gang has been destroyed. No one is worthy of your kneeling anymore, including me."
"Okay, I still have to deal with some things. There is some chaos outside. You can spend the night in this room for the time being."
The girl was crying with tears streaming down her face. She had imagined countless times what kind of person the governor would be, but she never imagined that he would appear in this way and save her in this way.
"Thank you, Lord Governor...Thank you..."
At this time, two prompts popped up on the data flow panel almost at the same time.
[Cohesion: 5 (+4). The current cohesion has reached the minimum limit for recruiting troops. The Governor can use the data flow panel to recruit troops by consuming money, food and alloys]
[More than 80% of the media has been completely controlled, and more than 80% of the police stations have declared their allegiance to the new government... and have fully taken over the order in the city]
【War Progress 3/4】
【You won the war! 】
[You can choose to end the war immediately, or you can continue to expand the results to achieve a comprehensive victory]
"No need to thank me." Jiang Sui turned around and left the house, walking further and further away. "It is your obligation to pay taxes, and it is my obligation to protect you. We each perform our duties..."
"The others follow me and take over the military power."
After searching several houses along the way and executing or arresting more than a dozen mid-level officers, Jiang Sui and the robot guards finally arrived at the fortress beneath the command center.
Looking at the nine safe rooms in the bunker that had independent oxygen and power supplies and were protected by huge metal doors, Jiang Sui looked up at the camera and asked in a calm tone: "Does anyone want to come out and talk?"
There was no response from the entire bunker.
After seeing no movement for more than ten seconds, the negotiator who had been waiting for a long time came up and said to Jiang Sui in a questioning tone: "Mr. Governor, do you want me to come?"
"No need to go to so much trouble." Jiang Sui waved his hand, turned to look at Gu Qinghuan, and ordered: "Warrant Officer Gu, come here."
Gu Qinghuan took half a step forward, reached out and took off the magnetic induction anti-tank rocket launcher from a robot guard, put it on his shoulder, pointed it at one of the metal doors and pulled the trigger.
The whole process was done in one go.
boom!
A purple light with an electric arc flashed across, and the ultra-high temperature plasma and metal vapor instantly burned through the alloy gate and spread to the entire room!
Before he could even scream, there were only a few humanoid charred bodies left in the room!
Jiang Sui turned his head and looked at the remaining eight doors, his tone still as calm as before: "Now, does anyone want to come out and talk?"
