Chapter 849 The Real Purpose
It must be admitted that among the four people on the second floor, the one Zhang Heng paid the least attention to was the young man called the Microphone, because he was also the one with the lowest sense of presence among the four.
But as soon as the microphone opened, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him. Zhang Heng had also heard a lot of things related to the hive from Soap and Ali before, and knew that this most mysterious force in the southeastern city collects intelligence. The ability is very powerful.
Therefore, what surprised Zhang Heng was not that the other party knew what he had for breakfast, but that he did not expect that Honeycomb would actually speak for him.
Yes, that's right. On the surface, it seemed that the loudspeaker was showing off that the top forces in the southeastern city had the ability to see his every move, and at the same time, it was also warning him not to try to lie next time.
But Zhang Heng also noticed that the microphone emphasized the close relationship between Zhang Heng and Commodus in all its words, and also classified Klind as Zhang Heng's political ally.
If there is any flaw in Zhang Heng's plan, it is that the alliance between him and Klind is not strong. Although he offered Klind a win-win plan, he believed that Klind would be willing to accept it. This plan, but he can use this method, means that the major forces in the southeastern city, led by the Jewish gang, can also use the same method to pull Clint to their side.
Zhang Heng has analyzed before that there are also political forces behind the southeastern city. The Jewish Gang, Golden Crown, and Beehive rule here not just with violence. They spend large sums of money every year on the fat nobles of the Senate. The purpose is to maintain the semi-controlled state of this place.
This is probably why Lockyd and others were not as panicked as the people below when they heard that a thousand guardsmen were about to be stationed here.
But even if he knew that the microphone had good intentions, Zhang Heng still had to fight back for the full trick. After the microphone finished speaking, he said, "You were busy hanging out with women last night. You guys drank all night. So you got up very late in the morning and went straight to lunch. You had olives and grilled fish for lunch. You had a fight with someone during the meal. In addition, there is reason to believe that you were not very satisfied with your performance last night. , so you’re always looking for ways to extend the time.”
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, the face of the speaker turned blue and white, and then he hurriedly said to the girl next to Zhang Heng, "Don't believe what he said, he is talking nonsense. In order to get revenge, I just blew his cover."
"Don't worry, of course I believe you more." The girl showed a sweet smile.
At this time, Lockyd had also finished the last piece of venison. As if he had not heard the exchange of words between Zhang Heng and the loudspeaker, he put down his fork, pointed to the position below his head, and said, "Sit down. "
Zhang Heng sat down after hearing this, and the girl who came up with him sat next to Lockyd again, but she quietly moved her body to put some distance between herself and the microphone on the other side.
Lockyd did not wipe the grease stains from his mouth with a tablecloth. This was also the eating habit he had maintained over the years. When he was a child, there was nothing to eat at home. He was reluctant to eat the food he stole outside, and often only licked it twice. He would leave some residue on his mouth and pretend to have eaten. When he returned home, he would share the food with his hungry brothers and sisters. Over time, he developed the habit of eating without wiping his mouth.
Although life gradually got better after that, and now he has become the boss of the Jewish gang, this habit has never changed, and he has been complained by his wife and children for this.
"What do you want?" Lockyd looked at Zhang Heng opposite and asked straightforwardly.
"The three major forces and the patrol team have joined forces to establish a new order in the southeastern city." Zhang Heng replied.
"This is impossible." Lockyd shook his head after hearing this.
However, he did not explain the reason why it was impossible. He just waved his hand and asked the waiter to pour wine for Zhang Heng, and then continued, "I can understand that you can't wait to do your first job well. I am not very satisfied with the methods adopted during this period, but I don’t want to get entangled with you anymore about these trivial matters. Let’s do this. You disband those people hired by the patrol team. I guarantee that the security in the southeastern city will improve in the future. By the time you leave here, you will have achieved the political achievements you need, and we will be able to end this farce as soon as possible."
To be fair, the conditions provided by Lockyd were quite good. He did not mention what Zhang Heng had done before, nor did he intend to pursue Zhang Heng for the damage he had caused to the order in the southeastern city. He was even willing to send Zhang Heng away in glory.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng still insisted after hearing this, "I'm sorry, I don't intend to give up my request."
Lockyd frowned, "Do you know that even if you and Clinde can persuade the Emperor to send the Praetorian Guard here, you still need the approval of the Senate? I am willing to treat you with courtesy, not because I am afraid of that. One thousand Praetorian Guards, I just don’t want to give money to those greedy senators in the Senate. If we continue to fight between us, we will only end up taking advantage of those senators, and to say the least, even if you win in the end and get the senators The hospital’s permission, but what happens next?
"You are not the first person to want to destroy us, and you will not be the last. However, dynasties change, and the emperor's portrait on the gold coins changes again and again. We are still here. Of course, you can use the army to arrest us, or even It is to kill me and destroy the Jewish gang, but as long as the people here are given a little time, they will rebuild everything we have built." Lockyd paused and said seriously, "We are all old people, and old people always We hope that the problem can be solved by relatively peaceful means, but the old man also means that we are not afraid of death."
"Uh, interrupt me, I'm quite young and quite afraid of death." The microphone said, "But you don't have to worry about me, I'm just a small role responsible for delivering messages."
After hearing what Lockyd said, Zhang Heng said, "You misunderstood. I respect you very much. I have no intention to eliminate you or the Jewish gang, nor will I change your way of life. I just hope that from now on, the patrol team will I can participate in the management of the southeastern city, instead of just being a bystander like before."
"I see, you don't just want political achievements, you also want to cultivate your own power in this neighborhood." Lockyd revealed Zhang Heng's true purpose in one sentence.
Zhang Heng did not hide anything and admitted generously, "I have heard your story about how you started from scratch and eventually became the uncrowned king of the southeastern city. Like other young people in this neighborhood, I was also deeply inspired. I also want to create my own career here.”
"You are quite honest," Lockyd nodded upon hearing this. "It is a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but the problem is your identity. You are not from here, and it is not fair competition to have the patrol team behind you. I am It’s impossible to watch you grow and develop.”
This time it was Zhang Heng's turn to frown. He didn't expect Lockyd's attitude to be so tough. The old man could obviously make peace with the nobles in the Senate, so why couldn't he tolerate a new force that would not shake the Jewish gang?
As a result, at this moment, the boss of Jin Guan, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes and said, "Mr. Lockyd means that if you want to establish your power here, you first need to prove that you are also from here. , so that we can consider accepting you.”
"How can I prove it?"
"It's very simple. When you return to His Majesty the Emperor, we want you to help us kill someone." At this point, Lockyd finally revealed the real purpose of asking Zhang Heng to go to the second floor.
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, almost thinking that his relationship with the Balancing Blade was exposed. Fortunately, the old man opposite him added, "Senior Divobraye, we need you to find a way to end his political career and deprive him of it. As a veteran, his appetite is too big and we can no longer satisfy him. In exchange, we can allow you and your patrol team to develop here, but you can no longer go as far as before. If you agree, We can then talk about the division of forces in the patrol team together."
