Chapter 4584 Negotiation

"What's the meaning?!"

Bishops can show indifference on any other topic, but not this one.

Because of the accumulation of achievements, striving to be transferred back to the holy city as soon as possible, this is his biggest long-cherished wish at present!

Ever since he was demoted, he hasn't been thinking about this matter for a moment.

Facing the bishop who suddenly became tense, Luo Ji chuckled secretly.

This fish was successfully hooked.

In the current situation, even though no deadly wingman would come to disturb their lord bishop's rest, for the sake of caution, Luo Ji still planned to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

With such a mentality, Luo Ji didn't hold back, and quickly spoke in detail to the bishop in front of him.

"First of all, what is certain is that you were punished by those in power in the holy city before you were demoted to this remote city. In other words, you are wearing a crime, right?"

These words made the bishop's facial muscles twitch uncontrollably.

For some reason, he always felt that the damned human being in front of him was deliberately pouring salt into his wounds, but he had no evidence.

Under this premise, he was very curious about what Luo Ji would say next.

With no other choice, the bishop could only nod his head stiffly, admitting that this honorable bishop was indeed a sinful person.

This is already the limit, if you want him to say this himself, it is definitely a dream.

Fortunately, Luo Ji himself did not have this idea.

After the other party nodded in acknowledgment, Luo Ji quickly continued talking.

"Under such a 'stain', the rulers of the holy city will naturally be stricter with His Excellency the Bishop. Do you agree with this point?"

In this regard, the bishop nodded again.

Obviously, he agrees with this point.

The members of the church who were originally from the same party as him had nothing to say, but those parties who stood against them, those guys would definitely hold on to this point, and they would definitely not let him return to the Holy City easily.

Thinking of this, the bishop's mood was obviously a bit dignified.

At the same time, invisibly, the bishop's attention was also diverted from his own situation in front of him, and his energy began to focus more on the topic at this time. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Luo Ji.

Seizing this opportunity, Luo Ji hastened to continue talking...

"Under this premise, as the highest authority in this city, what does His Excellency think his most important duty is?"

This time, Luo Ji didn't wait for the bishop's reaction or reply before continuing, but directly announced the answer...

"It is to make the city more prosperous as much as possible while ensuring the stability of the city! This is the most important duty of His Excellency the Bishop."

Luo Ji's remarks can be said to be completely established, and they can even be said to be true, so the bishop has no reason to shake his head in denial.

After successfully guiding the bishop's thoughts to this point, the next point is undoubtedly coming!

"As I said above, it is your merit only if you make the city more prosperous. On the other hand, if you make the city fall into turmoil, it is your fault!"

Luo Ji deliberately emphasized the last two words.

In an instant, the bishop's face changed suddenly!

He has always served in the Holy City and has never had experience in governing a city.

And after he made a mistake and was demoted, when he arrived in this remote city, he only thought about returning to the holy city, and his whole mind was not on the governance of the city at all.

Therefore, he really didn't think about it carefully.

Now that Luo Ji mentioned it like this, it actually made him feel suddenly enlightened.

Looking at the bishop's uncertain face, Luo Ji knew that success or failure basically depended on this wave.

"After making a mistake, quelling the rebellion is at best considered to make up for the mistake, can it be counted as credit?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bishop undoubtedly panicked completely, but on the surface, he was still pretending to be calm.

"So what? It's better to make up for your mistakes than not to make up for them!"

"Your Excellency is wrong again."

"What's wrong?"

"According to the Scarlet Group's current influence in the downtown area, it is no exaggeration to say that if the Scarlet Group falls, all residents in the downtown area will suffer a huge impact. Once this happens, the productivity of the downtown area will be completely lost. guarantee, resulting in a substantial decline.”

Having said that, Luo Ji looked at the shaken bishop, and unceremoniously gave him the final blow.

"First, due to my own fault, I caused turmoil in the lower city, and then in the process of making up for the fault, the productivity of the entire city dropped sharply, which constituted a huge development problem. In addition, the mistakes you made before, after calculation, I'm afraid that if it wasn't for your Excellency, you won't be able to return to the holy city in this life, and it's hard to say whether the position of the 'bishop' can be kept."

At this moment, the bishop's face was already pale.

"Then, what should we do then?"

Accompanied by these words, the bishop can be said to have completely messed up.

Seeing this, Luo Ji spoke out a word of comfort at the right time...

"Don't panic, I'm here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Scarlet Group this time, and naturally I want to give you a way out."

"You would be so kind?"

Although the current bishop has some hopes for Luo Ji in his heart, he obviously cannot trust him easily.

Luo Ji didn't care about that at all.

"It's not a good intention. The previous actions will only cause both of us to lose, and the net will be broken. Therefore, I am here to discuss cooperation with Your Excellency."

"How do you want to cooperate?"

There was still a little hesitation in the tone, but compared to before, it was already much more straightforward.

"It's very simple. Your Excellency only needs to do two things. The first point is to give up sending troops and treat it as if it never happened. It's just a small investigator who died. According to your status as a bishop, it's easy to suppress it."

"The second point is to remove all the wingmen who hold official positions in the lower city. In the future, we will not violate the river water in the lower city and the upper city."

If the bishop could still accept the first request, then the bishop undoubtedly immediately rejected the second request.

"Impossible! I can't agree to the second point!"

Withdrawing all the Wingmen from the Lower City is equivalent to handing over the Lower City to humans completely. If this is done, God knows what will happen next? !

Unexpectedly, Luo Ji's attitude was more determined than his.

"Either agree to both of them, or both of them agree to each other, there is no third way to go!"

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

At this moment, the bishop's round face was flushed with excitement.

In this regard, Luo Ji's attitude remained firm.

"You are not afraid, and we are not afraid. The big deal is that the net will be destroyed. Anyway, we are a group of human beings with no future. It is not bad to be able to support a bishop. We have a lot of people in the lower city. At that time, we will use corpses to pile them up! Don't worry about your Yiren army! I want to easily enter the lower city! This matter is not so easy!"
