Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 178 Tenants
Chai Xiaonong said, "Are you crazy?"

Hui Liancai also showed displeasure: "Merlin, your thoughts are very dangerous."

Jicheng only thinks that Tang Yan's rise will shake the peninsula's structure, and it may grow into a serious problem in the future.Yuancheng is hostile to Tang Yan because he defeated the expeditionary force and occupied the Maxim Cannery.

Only the three of them knew that Tang Yan's power came from the teleporter tied to his wrist, and whoever could get that would be able to obtain the republic's heritage sealed in the mysterious sanctuary.

The outside world thought that they teamed up to contain Tang Yan because they were afraid that the guy who was on the left side of their ideas would subvert Gem City. In fact, this was only a secondary factor. The real reason was a piece of confidential information that Huilian had obtained through a secret channel a few days ago—— —Intel about the source of those powerful weapons.

Whether it's Maxim's Cannery or Gem City, what is it compared to that artifact? !

Of course they would not tell such precious information to large forces like Jicheng, the Western Alliance, and the Yanhuang Brotherhood. What they wanted was to fish in troubled waters and profit from it.

Merlin laughed twice: "I'm just talking."

Boom, boom, boom...

There was a knock on the door outside, the force was relatively strong, the sound was relatively urgent, it seemed that the person who came was very anxious.

Hui Lian frowned, glanced at the two, got up from the chair and walked over to open the door.

The visitor handed a note into his hand and left.

After Hui Lian closed the door, he unfolded the note while walking towards the round table, his expression changed when his eyes glanced at the writing on it.

"What's wrong?" Chai Xiaonong asked, staring into his eyes.

Hui Lian didn't speak, walked to his seat and sat down, and pushed the note to the center of the round table.

Chai Xiaonong and Mei Lin leaned closer, and with the help of the dim light, finished browsing the contents of the note, their expressions changed suddenly.

"Huh, he's provoking us!"

Chai Xiaonong didn't speak, but tensed his old face.

………………

The sun fell on the street in front of the Governor's Palace. Pedestrians walked slowly. Several civilians squatted at the door of the Public Security Bureau, talking to the soldiers of the Warrior Company about the information broadcast by the eyeball robot.

beep

beep

beep

There was the sound of vehicles honking from the other side of the long street.

Some people are curious about who is here, who has the ability to drive a car into the stadium. You must know that according to the rules and regulations of Gemstone City, ordinary people cannot drive here unless there are special circumstances.

The crowd walking slowly in front subconsciously gave way and turned their heads to look at the vehicles behind.

It was a dilapidated converted pickup truck.

If there is anything special, it is the statuette at the front of the car.

It was obviously an old and rusty pickup truck, but there was a statuette on the front of the car, which seemed incongruous no matter how you looked at it.

It is true from an aesthetic point of view, but for the people who have lived in Gem City for a long time, this picture has a deeper touch.

There is no doubt that it is an accessory of Wang Ming's car, and now it appears on an old pickup truck. It has to be said that it is showing off, demonstrating, and ironic.

"Hey, the friend in front puts his legs back."

"And that uncle, could you step aside for a moment?"

"Whose family's children, why are they running around all over the street, what should they do if they are hit by a car?"

A narrow head with a narrow top and a wide bottom came out of the co-pilot's right side window and yelled at the person blocking the road ahead.

Many people know him.

Zang Feng's little follower, nicknamed Airplane Head.

Anyone who wasn't an idiot could tell that the nose of the plane was deliberately posing in such a posture to embarrass some people in the Public Security Bureau.

Others set their sights on the cargo box of a modified pickup truck, and landed on a Mr. Helper robot whose main body is branded with a red star.

That seems to be... Comrade Jiao? !
The general manager of Maxim's Cannery, a pre-war robot with a benevolent and fraternal heart.

"How did it come to Gem City?" Many people looked puzzled, but they soon understood. Thinking of the eyeball robot's broadcast in the early morning, they suddenly understood the true meaning of that article.

People who live in this continent are used to calling beating around the bush as implicit, and comparing insinuations as euphemisms, and they like to make fuss with insinuations in the field of propaganda.

chi...

The modified pickup truck finally stopped in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The head of the plane and the third young master got out of the cab, went to the back and opened the baffle of the cargo compartment, letting Comrade Jiao get down.

"Hello, people of Gem City." This guy was very polite, not at all stage frightened, and greeted the gazes from around him kindly, then turned and flew towards the Governor's Mansion.

At the same time, in a lounge facing the bazaar on the third floor of the Governor's Mansion, Chai Xiaonong opened the blackout curtains, looked at the modified pickup truck parked downstairs and let out a cold snort.

The little golden man and the broken pickup gave him the feeling that he had swallowed a live fly, and he had reason to suspect that the boy surnamed Tang did it on purpose.

Hui Liancai didn't ask him what he saw, nor did he care about the noisy discussions on the long street. He looked at the timetable hanging on the wall opposite the sofa, got up with the help of the bodyguard, and walked outside.

Chai Xiaonong stood there for a while, and then led others out of the lounge.

Fifteen minutes later, the door of the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion was pushed open, Tang Yan and Xia Xin walked in from the outside, and sat straight on the chairs opposite Chai Xiaonong and Hui Liancai.

Zhang Feng sat at the bottom of the circular conference table, looked at the two people on the left, then looked at the two people on the right, simply closed his eyes and went to play chess with Duke Zhou.

He was here to fill up the numbers.

Only when the four people in front couldn't reach an agreement, he would say some personal opinions to ease or intensify the situation.

Wang Ming's seat was still there, but it was a pity that he didn't sit on it, which looked a bit dazzling.

There was only one robot behind Tang Yan and Xia Xin, and a cold-faced bodyguard stood behind Chai Xiaonong and Hui Lian.

The two people in front are very young, and the two people in the back look old.

Zhang Feng opened his eyes a little, and looked at the two elders, the second young, and wanted to laugh, but finally held back.

Tang Yan said: "Everyone is here, we can start."

He is not an official of the Governor's Mansion, or even a citizen of Gemstone City, but now he is sitting there in a big way, speaking his opening remarks calmly, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

Chai Xiaonong was very angry and looked cold.But he did not dare to act rashly and did not refute.

Tolerate!
Before attending the meeting, Hui Lian dipped in tea and wrote such a word on the table.

The time is not yet ripe, and the personnel and equipment are not yet in place. In any case, we can't turn against Tang Yan.

Just like Wang Ming, it was because he didn't listen to their advice that he rushed forward, so he fell into Tang Yan's scheming, which not only killed his own life, but also made them suffer, so that he was extremely passive in the political field.

"Cough..." Xia Xin coughed, pulled the seat forward, looked at the two people opposite and said, "I want to hear the opinions of the two elders on what happened a few days ago."

Although Xia Qiming, Huang Lei, Wang Ming, Hui Liancai, Chai Xiaonong, Luo Zuoming and others had a lot of quarrels in the past, they are still friendly on the surface, showing a respectful appearance of brothers and friends.

As Xia Qiming's son, it's normal for Xia Xin to hold the junior ceremony. As for what happened a few days ago, it naturally refers to the fact that Wang Ming was killed by Tang Yan.

Chai Xiaonong said nothing.

Huilian shook his head.

Xia Xin continued: "At that time, if no one stopped it, there would have been a civil uprising in Gemstone City. Deputy head Tang was kind-hearted, seeing the situation rapidly deteriorating, he volunteered to ask Wang Ming to come and deal with it..."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Alas... Who would have thought that Wang Ming would treat him as an enemy, and focus all his energy on attacking Tang Yan and his party, ignoring the murderous intent from behind, and being killed by people from the country of Ross."

"What an unfortunate outcome..."

After Xia Xin finished speaking, he shook his head with a heartbroken expression on his face.

Chai Xiaonong stared at him with staring eyes, and said in his heart: "Make it up, keep making it up, the little bastard is almost carved out of his father, and he can tell such righteous words when he lies."

Among the witnesses of that war, the entire army of Wang Ming's family was wiped out, and the situation at that time was not arranged by the people of the Pandaren Legion.

They couldn't produce any evidence to expose Xia Xin's lies, but anyone with an online IQ knows that the truth is definitely not what Xia Xin said.

Tang Yanzhai has a kind heart?Tang Yan went to Wang Ming Manor simply to call people?Only those residents of Gemstone City who can eat cheap canned sea fish will believe Xia Xin's rhetoric.

Hui Liancai was a little surprised by Xia Xin's shamelessness.

Of course, the most important quality a qualified politician should have is shamelessness.

People who are thin-skinned, have a strong sense of responsibility, and seek truth from facts will not climb high in the officialdom.

Zhang Feng twitched the corner of his mouth as if sleepwalking, and quickly regained his composure.

Tang Yan tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Xia Xin out of the corner of his eye, thinking that this guy was material for being a secretary.

He did not tell Xia Xin how Wang Ming died, but only mentioned the name Borodin.

Now in Xia Xin's script, Wang Ming was killed by Borodin. There is no doubt that this is blaming others, and his relationship is cleared away. After all, everyone present except him, General Wang and Borodin died. up.

Dead without proof.

In fact, Wang Ming was really killed by Borodin.

Many people think that Wang Ming was killed by himself, but Wang Ming was really not killed by him.

"Cough..." Seeing the delicate expressions of the crowd, but Chai Xiaonong and Hui Lian didn't say much, Xia Xin coughed lightly and continued: "After the death of Luo Zuoming and Huang Lei, Wang Ming invested a lot in the administrative affairs of Gemstone City. Only then can we barely maintain the order in the city, and now that Wang Ming has passed away, the administrative work of Gemstone City cannot be left alone, and a suitable person should be elected to take up this responsibility."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Chai Xiaonong's lips, thinking that it was so.

Xia Qiming sent someone to send a letter last night, saying that he wanted to discuss the aftermath together, and Xia Xinhui would attend the meeting on his behalf.

Although it was only a few words, it revealed two important messages.

One; Xia Xin officially took over Xia Qiming's affairs in Gemstone City from this incident.

[-]. The meeting will discuss a series of issues brought about by Wang Ming's death.

The invitation from the enemy is naturally no good feast, no good meeting.

Hui Liancai and Chai Xiaonong decided to attend the meeting after careful consideration. After all, if Tang Yan wanted to put them to death, he should have acted when he attacked Wang Ming a few days ago. Have other plans.

They wanted to see what kind of calculation Tang Yan was planning.

So they arrived at the Governor's Mansion on time, ready to adapt to changes and take advantage of the situation.

Chai Xiaonong thought that Xia Xin would be more conservative, and would not speak out the key points until the end of the discussion, but he did not expect that this kid was more direct and rude than his father, and the first thing he raised was the question about Wang Ming's successor.

The first topic is also the main topic of the meeting.

Hui Lian didn't smile, and stared at Xia Xin's face with dizzy old eyes: "Indeed, if someone can't be elected to replace Wang Ming in time to handle the city's affairs, it may cause huge chaos."

He paused and said: "Since Mr. Xia raised this topic, I don't know if there is any suitable candidate to recommend."

Xia Xin smiled and said, "I think Deputy Captain Tang is good."

"He is caring, has a sense of justice, has principles and a bottom line. More importantly, he has made great contributions in handling the confrontation between the public and the Public Security Bureau and has won the support of many people. If he can replace Wang Ming to perform his functions, it will help resolve the issue The public has long-standing grievances against law enforcement.”

This statement sounds very reasonable, and it is impossible to argue.

Bang!
A fist hit the table.

"Are you kidding?" Chai Xiaonong stood up abruptly: "He is a mercenary leader, how can he take over Wang Ming's position. Have you forgotten how the Jewel City came about? That is the paradise built by our ancestors, you Actually want to transfer power to an outsider. What is this called, this is called eating inside and outside!"

This is very rude.

Xia Xin was not angry, and said with a smile: "Power must be approved by the residents of Gemstone City to take effect. If they do not agree, it will be like the civil uprising a few days ago. No matter how high the position and qualifications of Wang Ming, What's the use?"

"Hmph." Chai Xiaonong said, "If they don't give in, we'll drive them all out of the city. If they persist, we'll kill them until there is no voice of opposition."

"Jewel City was built by the ancestors, and those people are just a group of tenants! Tenants! Tenants!"

He said the word tenant three times.

That means it matters.

If the protection fee is regarded as rent, there is nothing wrong with this idea.

Xia Xin said: "Have you ever thought that without the residents, the Jewel City will lose its vitality. How can we support the management agencies like the Jewel City Guard and Security Bureau? Once the situation deteriorates to the extreme, those people will either leave angrily or shoot Turn left and seize power with you."

Chai Xiaonong said: "Are you joking? There are no tenants? With Gem City in hand, there are still no tenants? As long as the protection fee standard is slightly lowered, many farmers are willing to move to the city."

Xia Xin said: "What do you do when you move to the city? Continue to be a slave who can be abandoned at any time?"

"That's better than living in the wilderness and facing the threat of predators, beasts, and living corpses all the time, not to mention that we also have a method to eliminate soil pollutants."

Xia Xin glanced at Tang Yan: "If there is another force that can protect their safety and provide enough food rations, will people still come to Gem City?"

After saying this, Chai Xiaonong and Hui Liancai's expressions changed drastically.

Another force?Which force?

The answer is obvious.
