Chapter 760: Work hard, young man (10,000 words)(2/3)
After the idea of negotiation was brought up, this group of people seemed to be suddenly excited, and they started to come up with ideas and opinions. They even became more and more excited as they talked, and started to flatter each other in a disgusting manner.
Lorraine couldn't help but look up at Parker, and then he remembered his appearance firmly in his heart, and thought to himself: Good boy, you are indeed brave and knowledgeable, I will send you to negotiate with the robbers later~
! Let’s see whether they become the King’s Master and successfully recruit you, or they cut off your head.
Sakis couldn't help but get excited when he heard the wonderful prospects described by his civil servants.
He slammed the table hard, and then said in a deep voice: "It's right that all colleagues express their opinions and the atmosphere is lively. When we encounter difficulties or problems, as Semitic officials, we naturally have to sacrifice ourselves.
Who else has the optimistic spirit to face difficulties and not be afraid of dangers.
The great devil is always protecting us in heaven.
You see, this method has come out now. Hahaha..."
He coughed slightly, and then continued: "I listened just now, and everyone's ideas are very good and quite good, but they are a little confusing. Now let me summarize. You don't have any opinions, right?"
At this time, Sakis also regained his previous composure and showed his previous style. He talked eloquently.
As he spoke, he leaned forward and looked at the officials present inquiringly.
The officials sitting here immediately shook their heads. Are you kidding? The leader has said this, and you still dare to have an opinion. Do you think the official position is too big? Do you want to work in the death squads?
Sakis smiled and then said: "In my opinion, these robbers are just a bunch of thieves. I guess they are just for wealth, let's give them money~!
After all, we have to put the overall situation first. It’s not worth using a knife or a gun for a small amount of money. It’s not worth it to fight to the death~!”
As he spoke, in order to emphasize his words, he deliberately spread his hands.
All the officials immediately nodded in agreement, and then slapped Sarkis hard on his ass.
Lorraine beside him couldn't help but sigh softly. This Sakis was indeed a veteran official for many years. Although it was just a few words, he had already taken the initiative in a tepid manner.
This time, the clever plan to 'lose money and avoid disaster' was all his idea. When the results were evaluated later, he was definitely at the top of the list.
At this time, these scoundrels were right in front of Lorraine, and they began to seriously discuss how much money they should give to the robbers so that they could let them go without spending too much money.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel dumbfounded after hearing this: These people have been in official positions for a long time, and their brains are all mushy. Being with them, this sense of superiority in IQ can't help but arise spontaneously.
Those civil servants came to discuss and discuss.
After a while, Sakis and the others quickly reached a consensus. They were willing to pay 300,000 gold coins, or at most 400,000 gold coins, to bribe the robbers to make way.
It's not that they can't afford more money than this, but based on the current situation, they all agree that it's no longer worthwhile to pay more.
In other words, in order to save more than 400,000 gold coins, these civil servants became bolder and were not afraid of bandits rushing in.
After everyone finished the discussion, they all discussed how much each person would pay according to the ratio.
While they were calculating their accounts, they kept sighing: "These damn robbers have really made a fortune~!"
At this time, another smart man rolled his eyes and said hesitantly: "Actually, there is another way... maybe..."
"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned their heads and stared at the man.
They all felt strange in their hearts. How could this smart man suddenly change so much at this time? Could it be that this place is really a blessed land? Under the influence of heaven and man, everyone's small universe has changed.
Exploded?
The civil servant's class was extremely low, and he was usually just a handyman who emptied toilets. When he saw everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
He stammered: "Actually, the robbers...were not all brought by that so-and-so, let's...let's..."
When Lorraine heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed. Unknowingly, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, staring at the man coldly. He cursed in his heart: These are really a bunch of pig-like teammates~!
Everyone understood what that man meant. The robbers came under the pretext of robbing Adeling. As long as Adeling was handed over, the robbers would naturally retreat.
All the civil servants looked at each other involuntarily, and they all saw the light in each other's eyes.
They were all a little moved. Regardless of the mission they carried out to send off the bride, they had really lost Adeline. They had a hundred ways to clear themselves of their responsibilities.
For example, the strength is too weak, there is force majeure, there is a once-in-a-hundred-year natural disaster... etc. Making excuses for failure is a skill that bureaucrats must know.
Back then, Boss Cao almost transformed into a roasted suckling pig in Chibi. After returning, he also claimed that it was the east wind that had not happened in a century. Otherwise, Boss Cao, who was so wise, powerful, and unparalleled in wisdom, would never have failed, and would have conquered Jiangdong long ago.
, unified the world.
What's more, these civil servants all know that Lorraine and the Guards are the ones who protect Adeling. If they fail to complete their mission, the first person to be held accountable is General Lei Luo.
These civil servants are very happy to put all kinds of shit on Lorraine's head. Then they say with an innocent face: We are all civil servants. We just want to kill thieves, but we don't have the power to restrain the chicken. Faced with those
Robbers, not even the Praetorian Guards, can do anything about it.
Although we civil servants wish we could devote ourselves to serving our country, what can we do?
In this way, everyone can save their own lives and save money, so why not?
Lorraine squinted her eyes and stared at the group of people coldly, with murderous intent rising sharply in her heart. She cursed secretly: "mlgbd~! That's my horse, you can just sell it yourself. If you dare to take her idea, I will punish you."
Damn you~!”
He made up his mind: just waiting for whoever dared to nod in agreement, he would order the imperial guards to come in, drag the bastard out, tie him to the outer wall, and let him voluntarily serve as a human shield.
Sakis and the others were talking happily when suddenly they felt a chill. They stopped immediately and looked at Lorraine together.
These civil servants were also members of the Semitic elite, and they immediately saw the killing intent in their eyes.
They couldn't help but shuddered together, and then closed their mouths tightly, for fear that if they said one more word, they would offend the killing god in front of them.
The ruffian who said this looked at Lorraine's sharp eyes and immediately realized his gaffe.
This uncle is not one of those stupid people. He clearly knows what his responsibility is.
In his eyes, even if all his civil servants were dead, it wouldn't matter. He just needed to keep Adeling.
Under Lorraine's murderous intent, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body. He stared at Lorraine's hand, as if in the next moment, the ruffian would pull out his sword and kill him with one strike.
His face turned pale all of a sudden, and his lips trembled and he said: "I...I didn't say anything, I'm a bitch, I slept too much, and I'm talking nonsense. I shut up, I shut up... Hahaha,
Ha ha……"
As he said that, he made two haha, and then sat down. Then he realized that this one of the top ten outstanding young masters of the Semitic tribe was indeed well-deserved, and he just glanced at himself. His back was already wet with cold sweat.
Already.
At this time, Lorraine sneered and said: "I just listened to everyone's talk. You are indeed the eloquent people of our clan. However, everyone has said so much, but there is a problem. I wonder if you have noticed it.
?”
Everyone was stunned.
Lorraine smiled and said: "You have said so much, but it is all just empty talk here. Who will be sent to negotiate with the bandits? Have you thought about this candidate?"
Everyone immediately felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on their heads.
Yes~! We have been talking about this for a long time, and it seems quite intense, and everyone is very talented. But they are just talking here. Who to send here is a big problem~!
Although they say that those guys are ordinary people who have picked up kitchen knives, who can guarantee that they have passed the second career change, passed the banditry level 4 and 6 exams, obtained their diplomas, and become professionals?
of ruthless bandits.
Let's go to the negotiation, if they take over, it will be a slap in the face. From now on, eating will not be delicious. There is no way to talk about art with Meimei again.
They were all silent for a while, looking at each other secretly to see which unlucky guy would be elected as the dog-beater.
At this time, Lorraine smiled, and then said: "Since everyone is silent, I will help you choose a few."
He pulled out the long sword with a clang in his hand, and then pointed the tip of the sword at the bitch who just had the idea to send Adeling away, and then said with a smile: "Brother, I see that you have a wonderful skeleton and a flexible mind.
You can tell by looking at him that he is a unique talent that is rare to see in a century.
The honorable task of negotiating with the bandits will be left to you."
"Me? I don't want~!" The man yelled in surprise, then realized what he was doing, waved his hands hurriedly, and shouted loudly: "Sir, have mercy on me, spare me, I..."
Lorraine snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong with showing mercy? This is a glorious and great task. How many people want to go, but they still can't go. If you don't believe me, just ask them."
As he said that, he turned his head, looked at the officials present, and said, "Do you think so?"
All the officials immediately nodded in unison, as if they had rehearsed in advance.
We haven't been kicked in the head by a donkey, so who dares to say it's not the case? If not, you will have to take that bastard's place and go negotiate with the robbers.
The man looked desperately at everyone present, but those people all avoided his sight with flashing eyes.
This kind of thing must be done by someone. "A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist." As long as you don't let yourself go, then everything is fine. Anyway, I am not that person's biological father, so I can't stand up for him.
At this time, Lorraine impatiently handed the long sword forward, pointed it at his throat, and said in a cold voice: "This was elected by everyone in a fair and open manner. How dare you disobey me~!"
The man felt the coldness like ice and snow coming from his throat, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled like chaff. He clearly knew that the sword tip pressing against his throat was not an ordinary force.
If he dared not agree, that gangster would definitely dare to be serious and stab him with a sword.
He immediately said in a trembling voice: "No, I'm going...I'm going~!"
Lorraine snorted and took back the sword.
The man suddenly let out a long breath and then collapsed to the ground.
Lorraine looked at him breathing heavily, and couldn't help cursing in her heart: With such a moral character, he dared to leak bad water, he is really a courageous gangster with a dark mentality~!
He raised his head and looked around at the people around him.
Everyone immediately lowered their eyes in fear.
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the person who just proposed to negotiate with the robbers and said: "You, just you."
The people around the man immediately dispersed with a crash, leaving him alone in the middle. Seeing Lorraine pointing at him, he froze in horror.
Lorraine said: "Isn't it you who proposed the negotiation with the bandits just now? Isn't this a good idea? You can also negotiate with the bandits."
"I, I..." The man looked at Sakis with a pleading look on his face.
Sakis waved his hand and said calmly: "As an imperial official, you must know how to obey the orders of your superiors. If you understand, you must execute it, and if you don't understand, you must execute it. You must understand while executing, and execute while understanding. Do you understand?"
The man immediately smacked his lips bitterly and said nothing.
Lorraine thought for a moment, and then said: "Just two people seems to be a little short."
