Chapter 3985 Chaos Begins
Chapter 3985 Chaos Begins
"What? It was robbed?" Congressman Tikrisi was shocked when he received a call from his son and learned that the carriage that was responsible for transporting the ransom was robbed.
His name was already in the lower half, and he spent almost all his family's money to get the extended opportunity. However, he didn't expect to be robbed on the way. Without the ransom, wouldn't he be dead?
"Who did it?" Tikrisi asked angrily.
Tikrisi soon got the answer to this question. It was obvious that the people who robbed them were private soldiers from several families. Although they did not actively use the names of their families, they did not hide very deeply. After all, several of them were quickly recognized.
By relying on the families of those people who were recognized, Tikrisi soon knew that the robbers were the five people from the "Bu Jiao Faction" family who had just escaped death. Of course, he also instantly understood why the other party robbed him.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Tikrisi was really furious. Although what he just did was a bit unkind, it was no reason for you to rob him directly. He just didn't say that he had paid the ransom before. You are going too far by robbing him directly.
After learning about the situation, Tikrisi's first reaction was to go straight to those families to settle accounts. However, just as he was walking towards the five people of Entema with great momentum, he was unexpectedly stopped by someone.
When Tikrisi saw the person who stopped him, he was slightly stunned, because the person who stopped him was not one of the five people, but Senator Periander who had paid the ransom like him.
Tikrisi didn't know what the other party meant or why he was stopping him. But at this moment, he had no time to waste on other people. Just when he was about to ask Periander in front of him to move aside, the other party's words made him stop.
"You were robbed too, weren't you?" Periander asked.
"Also?" Tikrisi was slightly stunned, and then instantly understood what Periander meant. "You mean, you were also robbed by them?"
Periander nodded directly.
"Uh... then let's do it together..."
"Together what? Go settle accounts with them?" Periander interrupted Tikrisi before he could finish his words, "Tikrisi, calm down a little. Will it be useful if you go to argue with them now? Do you think that if you question them, they will admit that they stole your things and return them to you obediently?"
Tikrisi did gradually calm down. What Periander said made a lot of sense. Although his family was quite sure that the people they saw on the opposite side were from the families of the five people, and they were also sure that it was those families who robbed him, but they directly denied it, what would you do?
If it was a normal situation, he could confront the other party, find witnesses and evidence, and then let the Speaker do justice. But the question is, is this a normal situation?
The entire parliament is now occupied, and the Speaker himself is being held hostage. Do you expect Linton over there to help you get justice?
Yes, he could point the finger, and the other party could argue freely, because they were not the ones in a hurry anyway. Would Linton care about this? As long as the ransom was handed over to him in the end, he would not care who the ransom belonged to in the first place.
The five-man team on the opposite side probably knew all this in advance, so they just started to rob directly. They didn't even have any special intention to hide, otherwise how could their private soldiers so easily recognize which family the robbers were from, because they didn't try to hide.
Thinking of this, Tikrisi's face gradually darkened, and he realized that this matter was quite difficult to handle.
Then he suddenly thought of a question and looked directly at Periander in front of him: "So, your ransom was also robbed by them, right? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why should I say it?" Periander asked directly. This question made Tikrisi stunned. Normally, he would say it in this situation. He wanted to say it now and win over a group of parliamentarians to speak for him.
"Look at you, you still haven't figured it out." Periander saw Tikriti's expression and knew what he was thinking. He still hadn't changed his mindset.
"What's the point of you shouting now? Do you think that if you win over more congressmen to help condemn them, you can get your things back? As long as they insist on arguing with you and stalling for time, what can you do when the time is up? As for the other congressmen, they can only curse a few words for you. Do you think they will take out their own ransom to help you pay some of it?" Periander said.
"This..." From what happened just now, Tikrisi naturally saw the indifference of these councillors. Of course, he was also one of them. So it was really useless to think about it carefully.
"We can't let these guys get what they want." Tikrisi pointed at the five people standing together and said, "At least after telling the others, they will be prepared and no one will be robbed again. This way, their plan won't go forward."
"And then?" asked Periander.
"What then?" Tikrisi was stunned.
"I mean, if their plan fails, then what, how do we survive?" asked Periander.
"This..." Tikrisi was stunned for a moment, then realized something, "So, you have a solution?"
It is obvious that Periander should have a way to survive. Tikriti said this because he couldn't think of a way, so he thought that even if he died, he would not let those guys have an easy time. But now from what Periander said, he has a way, so of course the most important thing is for him to survive.
"Yes." Periander said with a smile, "Since you can't survive, there's no need to think too much. My method is also very simple. Hasn't someone already told us what to do?"
"Hmm?" Tikrisi still didn't understand what it meant. What method? Who told them?
Periander pointed directly at the five people in the distance, then gave Tikriti a look.
Tikrisi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood what Periander meant: "Wait, you mean... we also rob?"
"That's right." Periander nodded.
"But our people..." Tikrisi was about to say that we have few people, otherwise they wouldn't have been robbed by others. They are five families working together, how can they rob them.
But before he could finish his words, he figured it out himself, because when Periander asked him to take it, he didn't mean to take it back.
