708: 349: Suo Lun goes on a killing spree!_3 708: 349: Suo Lun goes on a killing spree!_3 Yan Wuzhi raised his head and proudly declared, “Indeed!”
Suo Lun then said, “Overflowing with talent, over the past eight years you have managed the Southeast Province so well that it has beco one of the wealthiest and most prosperous regions in the world, right?”
Yan Wuzhi replied, “Indeed!”
Suo Lun said, “You consider yourself a heaven-sent genius.
Without you, I couldn’t direct any official or manage the Southeast Province, right?”
Yan Wuzhi arrogantly said, “Of course!”
Suo Lun said, “If I wish to gain your support, I must first build a clothing mound for Yan Tingyi, kneel and bow my head, shave my hair as atonent.
Only then, after visiting your cottage three tis with respects for virtue and honoring the learned, and calling you ‘teacher’ would you be willing to support , right?”
Yan Wuzhi snickered coldly, “Initially, that was the case, but now you no longer have the chance.
All I see is a superficial and arrogant fool.
A person like that, even if montarily in power, is dood to be nothing but dry bones in a grave, truly disappointing.”
“Haha…” Suo Lun laughed and said, “Yan Wuzhi, there are hundreds of officials present.
Do you think they will listen to you, or to ?”
“Trivial, superficial…” Yan Wuzhi retorted coldly.
Suo Lun said, “Life is always about choosing sides.
The hundreds of officials present here are senior and mid-level officials from the governor’s mansion and Donghai City.
Now let’s begin choosing sides: those who choose to listen to , stand behind ; those who choose to listen to Yan Wuzhi, stand behind him!”
After speaking, Suo Lun descended from the governor’s platform and stood opposite Yan Wuzhi!
Hearing this, Yan Wuzhi and the officials present could hardly believe their ears.
Was this Suo Lun being so naive and superficial, playing a child’s ga of house?
Such disappointnt in this man, thought Yan Wuzhi, who had once even considered giving Suo Lun a chance; now, it seed a great disgrace.
“Swish, swish, swish…” United by common enmity, all the officials ‘voted with their feet,’ resolutely standing behind Yan Wuzhi!
In the vast hall, all three hundred and nineteen officials stood behind Yan Wuzhi, leaving no one behind Suo Lun!
Yan Wuzhi showed no sign of smugness; instead, he was filled with absolute indifference and said, “Marquis Suo Lun, this will only bring you disgrace!”
Suo Lun glanced at the empty space behind him.
The dignified governor had been completely overshadowed by the chief historian, truly a self-deceiving disgrace.
He simply sat down on the ground and laughed, “In my hotown, there’s a joke about a person so incompetent, with no skills and no prospects, that people curse him saying, ‘You’re so stupid that you can only beco an official.'”
“Being an official can be hard or easy.
Sotis, putting a pig in this official seat might do a better job than a human, at least it wouldn’t cause any harm.”
At these words, all the officials present were extrely angry.
It was a slap in the face, an insult to their integrity.
Suo Lun said, “Yan Wuzhi, you have three hundred and nineteen people behind you, and I have no one.
But, I have a way to make sure we have the sa number of people behind us.
What do you think that is?”
“The way of virtue brings support; the way of loss brings isolation!” Yan Wuzhi sneered, “Marquis Suo Lun, for the sake of the kingdom’s dignity, do not further humiliate yourself.
From now on, continue to wield your power in Tianshui City as you please; keep the hat of the acting governor of the Southeast Province if you fancy it, but refrain from ddling in affairs outside of Tianshui City.
It’s better for both of us.”
Suo Lun said, “The way is this: We will both have zero people behind us, that levels the playing field.
I won’t lose to you then!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s complexion changed drastically!
Then, Suo Lun pulled out an hourglass and turned it upside down; the sand inside slipped away, running out after a quarter of an hour.
Suo Lun stretched out his finger, pointing at people in the crowd.
“Selecting troops, selecting officers, hot sauce on sesa seeds, spend money on drinks, no money then scram…
You, co out!”
The official that Suo Lun had pointed at trembled, his legs wobbling, but continued to stand still.
Two samurais grabbed the chubby official as if catching a chick, dragging him out.
“What is your office?” Suo Lun asked.
“Inner Historian of Donghai City!” the chubby official shouted back.
“A high-ranking official…” Suo Lun said.
“Will you stand behind , or not?”
The chubby official trembled and couldn’t utter a word.
Without waiting for his answer, Suo Lun said, “Oh, not standing?
Kill him!”
“Swish…” Zhuang Zhixuan’s blade fell swiftly.
The Inner Historian of the Southeast City’s chubby head rolled, blood splattering everywhere!
Everything happened so suddenly that the whole assembly of officials forgot to cry out in shock, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
Suo Lun ignored their reaction and continued selecting troops and officers, chanting his rhy as he pointed.
Soon, the second unfortunate was pointed out.
“What is your office?
Oh never mind, don’t ask.
Are you willing to stand behind ?
Never mind, I can tell you’re the type that would rather die than surrender; you definitely wouldn’t…
Kill him!” Suo Lun said.
“Swish…” Zhuang Zhixuan’s hand moved, and yet another large head rolled.
Blood splattered, the headless body fell.
Even in death, that head was filled with terror, its eyes wide open!
