This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 242 The Hot Potato (Two in One)

Jordan has changed hands.

People never imagined that Jordan could be so magical in just one day.No one could have imagined that Zhou Li would hand over the identity of Grand Consul so easily.

Of course, in less than a day, the birth of the "New King of Jordan" spread across the country, and the help of those nobles must be indispensable.Now they are eager to write this matter on the genealogy and show it to everyone in Jordan 24 hours a day that "Zhou Li is not the Grand Archon".

Of course, those people who returned home also realized that Zhou Li would not give up his rights easily after they calmed down, let alone hand over the power to himself who he hates so much. The next dog does not believe it.

But, whatever.

Anyway, everything has been settled now, and the medal was given to Istar. Zhou Li completed the formalities and handed over the position of consul at the speed of light that afternoon. The speed was unrivaled except for the tax collector.Now, Zhou Li's power has been completely handed over, and the nobles are finally freed from the hands of this devil.

At least, they think so.

But now, Istar, who was in the center of the storm, was sitting in the spacious office, looking at the piles of documents in front of him, lost in thought.

Where am I, who am I, what am I going to do?
Yes, for the position of Grand Consul, Ishtar's eyes are completely darkened, and he is blind or blind.As an old general who retired from the position of military attache, Ishta only had trouble with the logistics except for his tatakai on the battlefield. The only thing that had anything to do with the civilian function was that he had beaten three entourage recorders.

Come on, beat me up, this is a great relationship.

Istar is now in a state of "everyone is awake and I am alone". Except for him, everyone has a clear attitude towards the transfer of power this time.

The nobles were happy to be liberated from Zhou Li's subordinates, and now they are discussing when to dig the grave of Juehu.Of course, the people in Yingnan are swearing to die against this, and the opposition is one after another, surging like a tidal wave.The Jordanian military and other forces tacitly kept silent on this matter. When others asked their views on this matter, no matter whether it was Christine or Roja, they would directly give a high-quality answer.

I do not know.

So here comes the question, what does the current "His Royal Highness the Grand Consul" Istar think of this transfer of power?

What a shit pot.

Istar, who considers himself a vulgar person, said bluntly that Zhou Li was holding a pure, useless piece of shit on his head, and those nobles were even more important, thinking that this was a piece of shit. good thing.

The tiger builds a house for the sheep, you really think he has good intentions, don't you?

Of course, the facts had already happened at this time, the Consul Medal on the chest was shining brightly in the sun, but the person wearing it was full of coldness.At this time, Istar was extremely confused, he didn't know what to do

Overthrow all the previous policies of Zhou Li, and directly start the era of aristocracy?

The staff who made this suggestion have been hung by Istar on the third floor of the Jordan Tower, where the scenery is better.Ishtar didn't think he was an idiot, and he definitely didn't even dare to think of such a way that was tantamount to suicide.

Just a joke, if I dare to overthrow Zhou Li's policy now, tomorrow I will be "voluntarily" stabbed thirteen times in the back.

Now, the various policies formulated by Zhou Li have become the most basic pillars of Jordan in the plague.Whether it is a series of policies such as relocating victims, dealing with the plague, commanding and coordinating, and progressively advancing, they have achieved obvious results, and have become a self-sufficient "policy machine" that can operate on its own.

If under such circumstances, he went against the grain and directly overthrew Zhou Li, this behavior would be tantamount to adding gunpowder to Jordan's ass and hastening Jordan's death.Istar reckoned that if he really did this, Jordan and himself would have a good life for two days.

So instead of changing the main policy left by Zhou Li, what about opening the back door for the nobles?
Ha ha.

Facing this option, Istar could only sneer.He is not ignorant of the general situation, and he will not completely cut off the nobles because of their stupid behavior in the handover ceremony, and directly oppose the nobles.In any case, he has noble blood flowing in his body, and his surname is also a noble surname.

However, this approach still does not work.

The reason is very simple. After thoroughly checking the various laws and policies left by Zhou Li with his staff, the staff said helplessly that what Zhou Li left behind was the state machine that had become a "whole".Each part (law or policy) has several extensions, and a single hair can affect the whole body.If you want to open the back door to those nobles and change the policy, at least 80.00% of the content must be changed.

It's time to die.

In the end, Istar and all his staff came to a conclusion—one of the policies cannot be changed.

So what is the use of my position as consul?Playing around?
In fact, Ishtar was worried that Zhou Li would manipulate him and make himself his puppet, which would be used to suppress the nobles while preventing blood from splashing on him.However, he found himself worrying too much.

People don't even bother to manipulate themselves, Zhou Li just left behind a bunch of policies and laws that operate automatically, and Istar must obediently follow the path that Zhou Li has set up long ago.What's even more frightening is that Istar can't bring up the concept of "resignation" at all. Once Istar wants to resign, Zhou Litong doesn't agree with him.

"Ackerman, what should I do?"

Throwing down the "Twelve Regulations on Disposal of Excrement in Plague Areas" in his hand, Istar rubbed his brows and asked his most trusted staff wearily: "There is absolutely nothing I can change. These officials Give me this document, and you have no intention of being rejected."

After expressing his helplessness with three completes in a row, Istar looked at the staff at the side and said solemnly: "These twelve regulations completely divide all the feces in the epidemic area, and what department is responsible for what to write Clearly, there is absolutely no room for any change.”

"What scares me even more is that this document was not drawn up by Zhou Li."

With a long sigh, facing the frowned and puzzled staff, Istar said with emotion: "This document was proposed by the Ministry of Health after Zhou Li's rectification. They just follow the rules left by Zhou Li and An almost perfect solution can be proposed. Ackerman, this is why Zhou Li scares me."

"He's counting, and it's not just you, me, or those ridiculous nobles."

"He counted, it was this country."

***********************************************
"Open the champagne!"

Beside the swimming pool, Zhou Li held a full bottle of champagne in his hand, and opened the cork with a black mist with exclamations. The golden liquid splashed out, leaving a little bit of golden light in mid-air.

"promise."

After throwing the champagne to Gerost, who was sitting on the stone pillar and bent over for a long time, Zhou Li picked up the milk and asked Gerost with a smile, "How does it taste?"

"Hi... okay, where did you get this good thing?"

After gulping down half of the bottle, Gerost, who was wearing a brown leather jacket and cowboy boots, wiped his mouth and looked curiously at the champagne in his hand: "Cam's product from 20 years ago, even if you have money, you can't buy it." Here we go."

"He got through from my house."

The dark-faced Christine stepped forward, took the champagne from Geralst's hand, poured a glass very distressed, raised the goblet, shook it twice, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Can the work of the brave be called smooth? That's called searching for supplies."

Zhou Li on the side retorted with a smile, and at this moment, Lin Ling's voice sounded from the side.

"General Christine, I still have twelve bottles of Camus champagne at home. If you need them, I can sell them to you at the original price."

Lin Ling, with short purple hair, came out from the side. She was tall and tall in a slim suit, with a faint smile on her soft but unattractive face.

"That's not necessary."

As a general of a country, Christine knew the true identity of "Neil" a long time ago.He shook his head and said politely: "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Neil, but I am a soldier after all, so I should stay away from alcohol."

"That's not what you said 20 years ago when you nearly drowned in a winery."

Christine, who was exposed by Geralst, immediately began to argue with Gerald.And at this time, Roja, who watched the whole process with a smile, seemed to realize something, and then he was stunned.

"Wait a minute, are you...Neil?"

Roja, who had never seen "Lin Ling" but only "Neil", looked at the girl in front of him with some doubts on his face.Facing the puzzled Roja, Lin Ling nodded with a smile, and agreed with Roja's words.

"Neil?"

Roja was stunned, he looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and was a little dazed for a while.It was difficult for him to connect this beautiful woman in front of him with that old Neil who was all worn out.

"I've never introduced myself."

Lin Ling smiled, and after performing a standard ladylike etiquette, she said to Roja who was full of bewilderment: "My name is Lin Ling, and for some reason, I had to disguise myself and use Neil's identity to outreach."

"Oh... ok ok."

After glancing at Zhou Li, Roya seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Lin Ling."

"The same is true."

After a short chat, Zhou Li and Lin Ling walked to the side of Elma and others who gathered together to study the oven.At this time, Elma was holding up the magic oven, trying to ignite the magic circle with sunlight.Lin Zi and Kaya squatted aside, holding their breath and staring at the scene in front of them, as if afraid of interrupting Elma's actions, they didn't even dare to breathe.

Stretching out his hand, taking off the oven from the pious Elma's hand, Zhou Li flipped the switch expressionlessly, then installed the magic battery that Elma regarded as a gift, and activated the magic circle.

Stretching out his hand, pointing to the switch and the magic battery, Zhou Li spread his hand, with a foolish expression on his face.

Silence is better than sound here.

Knowing how funny her actions were just now, Elma silently walked to Zhou Li's side, then swung her body and bumped into Zhou Li lightly, lowered her head, a blush appeared on her cheeks, reaching behind her ears.

"What about Linghai and the others?"

Zhou Li smiled and rubbed Elma's hair, then asked Ah Zi who was beside him.Azi glanced at them, pulled Kaya to stand up, thought for a while and replied: "Iwei and sister Ain went shopping, and Xiaohai went together because he was afraid they wouldn't be able to get it."

"OK."

Nodding his head, Zhou Li seemed to want to say something, but stopped talking.And Ah Zi seemed to have expected Zhou Li's actions a long time ago, sighed helplessly, and then said:
"The two of them are in the same bell tower. Are you going to find them?"

Zhou Li knew that the two of them that Ah Zi was talking about were Tolea and Lia Ke.Since Torea came to Yingnan with Elma, she disappeared automatically like a transparent person.If Lia Ke hadn't been by her side all the time, Zhou Li would have thought that Torreya was dead.

Now Zhou Li is very embarrassed to Torreya, and his heart of killing her has not changed at all, but the protection of the gods makes Zhou Li helpless.This time Zhou Lineng joined Lin Zi and the others, and Torreia also played an indispensable role.Although Zhou Li didn't know why Torreia wanted to help Lin Zi and the others rescue him, he knew that Torreia was indeed out of kindness.

Although Zhou Li is praised by many people as a "pure freshman", he still has a certain bottom line.Even if this bottom line is very flexible, it still exists.Therefore, after thinking hard for several days and nights, he gave up the idea of ​​"anyway, the gods can't see it now, so they can kill them".

Because he found that even if the gods couldn't see it, the restriction on Torreia's body still couldn't be broken by himself.

And now, he held a barbecue banquet at home, even if he didn't invite Torea, Lia Ke, who also played a big role, would invite her.and……

The most troublesome thing for Zhou Li is that Torreya in this life and Torreia in the previous life are two completely different people, and the degree of change is as if he has changed from a "just knight" to a "human crumb" that everyone loves. ".In the previous life, Torreia was bloodthirsty and arrogant. Wherever she went, she truly reached the point where "not a blade of grass grew".

However, Torreya in this life is like a white moonlight who has not been deeply involved in the world, and she is completely different from the previous life.Zhou Li can kill nobles and gentry without any psychological burden, but he can't kill civilians.It's not that he is so noble or saintly, the main reason is that he doesn't want to turn himself into a beast with a mind full of killing, which is no different from being controlled by a god.

Therefore, now Torea has become a hot potato for Zhou Li.Kill it directly, the gods will not let it.After brainwashing her into his own exclusive pendant, the gods will not let her.Ignore her completely, I still miss this future Demon King.

"Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Knowing that he would have to face Torreia no matter what, Zhou Li sighed helplessly, got up, pushed open the courtyard door and left the courtyard.

Then he quickly turned back, asked for the specific address, and left the courtyard desolately.
