"Sorry, I can't give any proof, because he is too careful and will not leave anyone with evidence against him." Seeing Leo doubted what he said, Shaobert was not surprised and said truthfully. .
Leo asked back: "If you are at home, someone suddenly comes to tell you that another person is malicious and wants to use the hands of other people to deal with you. Would you believe this?"
Schobert also replied frankly: "No, I won't believe it at all."
"Well, normal people really don't believe it, but..." Leo nodded, but the conversation turned around and said, "I believe it a little bit."
"Why?" Xiao Bert asked with some doubts.
"Because I didn't believe that Mr. Pachi was here to make peace from the beginning," Leo said with a clear look, pretending to be mysterious: "My dispute with Mr. Pachi is not simple. It can be resolved with a truce. The interest entanglement between the people behind him and me is too great. Even if Mr. Paige is unwilling to conflict with me, he can't stay out of the matter."
Leo’s words of right and wrong made Shaobert’s heart full of thoughts. He quickly thought of Pachi’s current position in the federal government, and also thought of some political disputes he had heard of before. Things, and brought them in involuntarily.
After the conjectures in his mind gradually formed, he couldn't help but regret coming here to see Leo, because he felt that he might have been involved in the high-level power disputes in the Haute Federation.
Shaobert knew very well that his family of lumberjacks might have a certain degree of strength and influence in the surrounding areas of Mount Troube, and even in the entire Josh County, but compared to the high-ranking officials of the federal government, their families were obviously It's too weak, even if they have some power that ordinary people don't have, but these powers are still as fragile as paper when faced with the state apparatus and state armed forces.
Paige obviously knew this, so he broke the rules that the lumberjack family had acquiesced for so many years. He joined the federal government and served in the federal government. But the old folks like Shaw did not have Pache's. The courage to break the rule can only guard one-third of his own acre and try to avoid being involved in unnecessary disputes.
It’s just that what Shaobert can’t think of now is that the dispute still involves them through Pachi, and this time they took the initiative. This makes him very resentful towards Pachi who treats them as pawns, and he can’t help but develop in his heart. One has to solve Pachi no matter what, lest Pachi continue to harm him and involve more big troubles that cannot be solved.
When Shawbert developed a strong hatred for Paige, he did not notice that Leo and Sylvia, who were sitting across from him, smiled at each other at this moment, and Sylvia was emitting a sensation. The weak energy fluctuations affect the surroundings.
Schobert recovered from his thinking, and asked with a little doubt: "In this case, why did your Excellency just..."
Leo made up two reasons casually and explained: "First, this is Josh County, which is not within my scope of influence. Second, I came here for other tasks, and I don't want to be out of line." Then, he aggravated it. The tone said: "But now it's not that I avoid the other party and will let go. It seems that Mr. Pachi or the person behind Mr. Pachi will not let me complete the task smoothly. But..." He said, he looked at again. Xiao Bert said: "However, I have no idea of cooperating with your family for the time being."
"Why? Don't we all hate Pucci?" Shabert puzzled.
Leo explained: "I really hate Paige, but I am not sure whether your family hates Paige. After all, what you said is just your own words and cannot be confirmed. Instead, it is you. The lumberjack family in Trub Mountain has always been advancing and pushing together, and their relationship is extremely close. How can I be sure that your arrival is not Mr. Pack’s plot?"
Shaobert opened his mouth for a while after listening, and didn't know how to explain it.
In fact, the illusion that the lumberjack family advances and pushes together is deliberately disguised, in order to prevent the outside world from seeing their internal discord, and then use this discord to break them all.
Although they are very unified and consistent in some things, especially in external affairs, they look like a whole, but in fact, the relationship between them is very bad, and the friction between each other is constant. This kind of bad The relationship is not created over time, but the distrust and hostility between them has been formed from the roots of the family at the beginning.
The sacred deeds swallow each other and then grow to give the family that owns it more powerful. This family core is destined from the very beginning that they will eventually become hostile. Precisely because of this, after all the Winorin family died, the first thing they thought of the woodcutter family was not to investigate the cause of death of the Winorin family, but to find the sacred deed of the Winorin family.
But the problem is that this kind of hostile relationship is only known within the lumberjack family. For people outside, the lumberjack family is very united. Once something happens, all the lumberjack families will move and work together to solve those who provoke them. People, this is already the consensus of the villages and towns around Trub Mountain, and there is also a proverb that says that you have offended a lumberjack in Trub Mountain, so don’t even want to take away a piece of wood from the mountain.
"We can leave that piece of forest farm to your family to take care of. As for the price, it will be the normal price." When Shaobert felt embarrassed, Leo suddenly said again.
Schobert hesitated for a while, as if thinking of something, his face became gloomy, and he said, "Your Excellency, are you using us as pawns?"
In his opinion, as long as he accepts Leo’s forest farm, the outside will think that he has cooperated with Leo. At that time, what Pachi wants to do will definitely target them, and other unexplained lumberjack families will even Under Paqi's bewilderment, he thought that he had obtained the unowned deed through some means of trading.
Leo shook his head and said, "No, I just give your Excellency a chance to prove that he didn't lie just now. A thousand explanations are not as good as an actual action. If you are unwilling to do this, what can I do? Can you trust your Excellency to work with me against Pachi and his family?"
Shaobert fell into deep thought, as if thinking about the pros and cons of doing so.
At this time, Leo said again: "I know you lumberjack families hide a big secret."
As soon as he said this, Shaw immediately became alert and looked at Leo.
"Don't be so nervous. Only you will think this secret is important. It is nothing for the federal government. Otherwise, you will not be able to live here safely." Leo motioned to the other party to relax and said: " Although I don’t know what that secret is, I’m sure that secret should be the foundation of your family of lumberjacks. If we become collaborators, I can use my influence to help you and your family."
There was a hesitant look on Shabert's face, because it was an opportunity for him and his family.
In the past, several families in the lumberjack family tried to borrow external forces to obtain the deeds of other families, but the external forces they borrowed were too rubbish. Not only did they fail to meet their expectations, they let other lumberjack families join forces. Kill them.
However, this does not mean that the method of borrowing external forces is wrong. In fact, Pachi is also borrowing external forces to some extent, and the borrowing is very successful. If it is not just his family’s turn to enter the mountains, I’m afraid He has now begun to control other families.
It is conceivable that when Pachi’s Crowley family comes out of the mountain, Pachi will also start working on other lumberjack families, and their families now have nothing to do with Pachi.
The best way is naturally to solve Pachi directly, but the problem is that Pachi has now become a branch minister of the federal government's Department of Enlightenment. If such a high-level official is involved, he will definitely be investigated. Then they will be met by the loggers. It may be the federal police, special agents, and even the military, so they won't use this method until the last resort.
In addition, after learning about Paige’s situation, Shaw thought about allowing a member of the family to join the federal government and become a government official, but the rules of the sacred deeds restricted them from doing so, so he was also very curious about Paige. How did they evade the rules of the sacred deed to achieve this kind of thing, and even if they also circumvented the rules of the sacred deed, it would be difficult for the clansmen of the government to reach the status of Pachi in a short time.
However, Leo now offers another option. The power of the federal government is dealt with by the power of the federal government. They only need to concentrate on dealing with the Crowley family.
Thinking of this, the hesitant color on Shawbert's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became determined.
I saw, he said to Leo: "How can I be sure that your Excellency has the ability to deal with Paqi, you know that he is the sub-director of the Ministry of Education."
"Don't worry about this, I can show you my abilities." Leo said lightly, "I know there are many people in Josh County colluding with church countries outside, and some of them are even Senior government officials, your family of lumberjacks is a local snake in Josh County. You can definitely collect the relevant list. I don't need you to provide enough evidence. Just give me the list and wait and see the results."
Schobert questioned: "Aren't you worried that the list I provided is wrong?"
Leo said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it is a mistake or not, as long as there is a result."
Shaobert couldn't help but feel cold when he heard Leo's words. This made him think that he had heard all kinds of rumors about government power struggles before. The so-called life in these people's eyes was just a number.
However, this also gave him some confidence in Leo, because Leo's performance fits the image of the senior government officials in his mind.
After , he discussed with Leo about taking over the management of the forest farm. At that time, he asked the housekeeper to draft a contract and sign the name, which was considered to have reached the most basic cooperation agreement.
After leaving the manor, Shaw got on his carriage and walked back. Some cold breeze blew into the carriage from the window, making him feel a little coolness, and his mind was clear at this time.
He looked down at the signed contract in his hand, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. He felt that something was wrong with him. Originally, his purpose of coming to the manor to see Leo and Sylvia was only to test the two and Pa. Whether Qi is a hostile relationship, and to see if the two have the ability to deal with Pachi, he never thought about formal cooperation.
But now he has somehow managed the forest farm, and he has also reached some cooperation agreements with Leo, which completely exceeded the goals he had considered before coming here, and also disrupted his plans.
"Am I being..." Shaobert couldn't help wondering if he was controlled by his thoughts, just like Pachi's ability.
But this thought of suspicion only flashed in his mind, and he was self-denying, because his ability did not induce any abnormality.
As his own ability to control animals has gradually strengthened, he can also acquire some extraordinary abilities from animals, such as danger perception. This ability has helped him avoid a lot of dangers in the past, so he is very conscious of his abilities. Trust, and just now he did not feel any danger from Leo and Sylvia, which means that the two are not the kind of people with special abilities, and the other party naturally cannot be silently affected. His thinking ability.
So, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Shaw blamed this on the ability of a politician. After all, as long as a successful politician is sure to have the ability to deceive that ordinary people do not have, this ability is not supernormal, but can also affect people. thought.
After trying to understand this, he gradually relieved his heart and began to consider collecting a list of those who colluded with the church country for Leo.
On the other side of the manor, Leo withdrew the spirit net, stopped monitoring Shaobert, and said to Sylvia: "Everything is going well, he has no doubts."
Sylvia sat lazily on the sofa and said, "Unfortunately, this ability to affect emotions can only achieve this level of effect. If it were in Vinylon, I could ask him to tell all his secrets. come out."
"Now this situation is very good, there is no need to be so anxious to know the secrets of the lumberjack family," Leo smiled and said: "We just have to wait, and we can push it at the right time. It’s just because the Karita Demon Contract doesn’t trust each other or even is hostile. The reason why there was no big conflict before is because none of them was particularly strong. Now the Crowley family can use the power of the federal government because of that Pudge. , The overall strength has far surpassed the other families. Even without our guidance, it will only be a matter of time before they break out in large-scale conflicts. We will wait and see quietly and wait for the right time to take action."
