Chapter 275 The Art of Power Struggle
It can be felt that everyone attaches great importance to this incident. After all, it is related to the provincial governor and the Red-clothed Grand Priest, which has exceeded the level of Jerusalem City, and cannot be ignored.
This kind of scene may not be flexible if you change someone else's mind, but it is common for Zou Shenbang, and it can be said to be a small scene. In fact, before you know it, people don't think anything wrong with an intern priest appearing at the Supreme Power Conference of Jerusalem, and his influence has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Under the gaze of so many representatives of Jerusalem forces, he stood up and looked calm: "The blasphemer has the only ending - stolen!"
Simple and domineering, Zou Liang's eyes swept across everyone, this is also a science. The exchange of eyes is a communication of momentum and relationships, and a lot of information is in it.
Some people who are not very close to Zou Liang will obviously avoid his gaze. Zou Liang never thought that the whole city would listen to him. This is impossible. People who are not jealous of others are mediocre people, but at critical moments, he does not want internal inconsistencies.
The establishment of Jerusalem's dominance was created through similar situations, and it was created again and again.
Silence, some people are gloating, some are laughing, and the families behind Arthur are a little worried. After all, not everyone can be as sure as Arthur, and this confidence is indeed beyond ordinary people.
Arthur clearly rejected the signal of consul Sara's "reconciliation"! If he took a step back at this time, the matter would have passed, but he was reluctant to give in. At this sensitive moment, if the consul's rebound was aroused, things would be out of control.
Sarah's face was a little dark, and Zou Liang's resolute reaction was equivalent to forcing him to no way out. As a consul and a direct subordinate of the governor, how could he openly support the resolution of his political enemy (not to mention dealing with the governor's nephew)? Even if he insisted on his shoulder, he could not give in, otherwise the governor would know later that his position as the governor would have been at the end.
As the consul, Sarah lost a wink, and his confidant secretary plucked up and stood up and said, "Can the Priest Arthur and the Temple be transformed into this matter? After all, the impact is too great. Tiemu is the person sent by the Governor to Baron Lance... and Baron Lance is also a devout believer of the Beast God."
This is just a coaxing ordinary people, and the subtext is: In addition to being the nephew of the governor, Baron Lance also has the adoptive father of the priest in red. Thomas does not want to have a feud with the other party, right?
Politics is nothing more than negotiation and compromise. There is no need to do anything without a serious revenge on life and death. This is the hidden rules of the game under the system.
Thomas turned his attention to Zou Liang: "Arthur, what do you think?"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. As soon as they said this, they actually explained that Arthur was his spokesperson, naked and direct, and even father and son probably didn't have such a heart-to-heart talk.
Zou Shenbang supported himself on the table with both hands and glanced at everyone in the conference hall, which brought a little pressure to them.
"Can we have conditions for the beast god? Can we have bargaining for our faith?" A solemn voice sounded in the hall of the government affairs, not a roar like a curse, it was very low, but full of power, which made people feel refreshed.
"Absolutely! For heresy, no one of the people of the beast god should be ruthless, no matter what his identity or profession he is in! I think that before the stolen, we should whip forty more to serve as a warning!"
As soon as these words came out, even Stanford, the president of the Archer Guild, who was watching the show and gloating, and Renault, the president of the Shadow Hunting Guild, all his eyes twitched: This guy was crazy, not only did he not give in, but he was even more ruthless!
Sarah had a serious expression, but she smiled secretly in her heart. She was so cruel. She directly labeled as a heretic. Think about it, this is probably a common method used in the temple a hundred years ago.
The others looked at each other, and the knot of this accident was with Priest Arthur, and it would be easy to deal with as long as he relaxed. Thomas clearly gave the matter to him, a "unscrupulous" disciple, to deal with it.
I thought it would be not difficult to put pressure on him to change his mind with the city hall, but no one expected that he would become more and more powerful!
Consul Sara's face was already dark, and his confidants were all bitter. If other people had jumped out and opposed it fiercely, but when they faced Priest Arthur, they would have figured out whether they could stop his anger. This person's personality is vengeful! This is the one who fears the most.
Various whispers came from the conference hall, private exchanges, fiercely alternating eyes, and various thoughts and secret codes were conveyed back and forth between representatives of various forces.
The originally peaceful conference hall was stirred up countless undercurrents by Arthur's words.
Zou Liang enjoyed this feeling very much. This was the first time he really participated in the city hall meeting, but the taste was really good.
"Prince Arthur, sometimes unity is very important, and whether the situation is so serious still needs to be investigated." Sara said, and her eyes quietly glanced at Renault, Stanford and others with a cunning look on their faces.
"The temple has been investigated." Thomas said lightly, blocking it directly. The priest of the red-clothed priest said that he was a heresy. If anyone suspected it, he would be unable to get along with him, Thomas.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and the attitude of the temple was indeed tough. Since Thomas came up, they couldn't break up. In Jerusalem, it was still up to the temple to behave according to the face of the temple. Anyway, they were not the ones who offended people.
"But the city hall is a place where you can speak freely, not a one-man show. Everyone can speak freely and finally raise their hands to vote, so that they can be trustworthy."
Thomas followed.
What does it mean?
"Haha, Lord Thomas said it well. The Town Hall is the highest power center of Jerusalem. I think the best way to deal with Tiemu is to raise your hands."
This sentence can be said to be quite explicit, it is Stanford!
The president of the archer branch did have a grudge against Arthur. His son was forced to leave his hometown and his reputation plummeted. The key is that he hated him, and it was obvious that the temple did not like him at all. Although it was dangerous in front of him, it was also an opportunity to hold the governor's thigh.
Stanford's words have indeed aroused many people's discussions and deep thoughts. Obviously, arguments and discussions are useless, and raising hands to vote is the most realistic.
It is not good to offend Thomas, but will this kid Arthur offend people everywhere affect Thomas? The key is that the Governor this time offended the Governor, and Lance has definitely intentions. Maybe it is a counterattack from the consul! For a force, sometimes it does not have to get benefits. Even if it loses a little more, it is worth it. This is a matter of momentum.
It depends on the governor's determination.
Once Thomas fell, it would be a chance to re-team, so Stanford decided to take a gamble. Before that, he had contacted his son in the provincial capital and was sure that Lance had a connection in Daros.
He took the lead, and I believe that there are definitely not one or two who can't stand Arthur. After all, everyone has been in business for so many years and is so old, but he has been taught this lesson by a boy who has not grown up all his hair. This is unprecedented in the Mont-Canadian Empire.
Listening to the noisy talk, Stanford was a little excited.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
"Raise your hands to vote, and raise your hand if you are whipped forty years on Tiemu and go to stolen tomorrow." Thomas stood up and said, "The scepter that symbolizes power."
His eyes glanced at the audience, and the question was quite skillful. He asked directly if he objected, but he wanted to see who raised his hand.
Zou Liang also had a faint smile on his lips, and his master became worse and worse.
There were a few people who wanted to raise their hands, but hesitated for a moment and let them go. More people were expressionless. Stanford's heart suddenly became cold and he gritted his teeth and raised his hands with trembling, because he had no way out. Unexpectedly, no one was willing to agree with him. Sarah and Sam sat in peace, with a calm face, as if they had nothing to do with them at all.
He knew that one foot had stepped into the coffin, and if the governor had no more direct reaction, he would be completely finished.
Tie Mu was very miserable. He never dreamed that he had waited for a long time and was looking forward to it for a long time. What he was not the news that he was rescued by Baron Lance, but a more cruel whip!
In Shenyao Province, he still dares not to sell the face of the Governor.
Ruman, who was beaten by Tie Mu before, found a good way to vent his anger and took the initiative to demand execution.
What the Bill tribe lacks the most is strength.
The toughest thorn vine whip cut off three of them in one breath, making Tiemu scream, and he didn't even have the strength to continue cursing Arthur.
For the young people who followed Arthur, what they fear most was Arthur's surrender to the governor's tyranny, but Arthur was Arthur, who gave their loudest response, and was not afraid of power, which was undoubtedly the favorite of young people.
Like Ruman, he even believed that the captain was just venting his anger for him, and the orc warriors lived for dignity and face. He sold his life to Arthur in this life, and even if he died, he would not frown.
The whip was whipped on Tie Mu, and again and again, Zou Liang saw support from the young people's fanaticism. In this era when the three major forces seized all rights, young people seemed to be able to enjoy a little so-called courage under power, and Arthur was the only person who dared to challenge authority, which was hundreds of times more difficult than facing a powerful monster.
Those who are immersed in the art of power probably don’t care much about these young people, but Zou Liang knew that his influence among young people is the most important thing, because sooner or later they will grow up and become the pillars of the world.
"Arthur!"
As soon as Zou Liang returned to his room, a soft body followed behind him, which was so hot that he hugged his bear waist and took the initiative to hold it tight.
Student Zou sniffed the familiar fragrance and felt ready to move again. He handed over his hands, pressed Emma's perky buttocks tightly and loosely, and said slowly in his mouth: "Why did it come suddenly?"
