The red moon returns

Chapter 202 Gates’ son-in-law

"I am a very reasonable person and will not make random offers."

Lynch tried hard to make his statement sound true:
"The first is the Archaeological Association. In fact, it is not just the Archaeological Association, but the non-governmental organizations headed by it, such as the Historical Association, the Biological Research Association, and the Secret Art Research Association. They are all represented by the Archaeological Association. Who allowed them to have eight-level experts? Woolen cloth."

"The Archaeological Association is only interested in the city itself. As long as they know the existence of the city, how can they object." Speaker Grant stared at Lynch with suspicion and vigilance, and said coldly, "Don't come in their name. Fulfill your purpose.”

"Thankfully you are still in politics and don't even know how to do this."

Lin Qi sneered disdainfully. In the past life, there were many similar methods. Any department could have a foothold on engineering projects. There were many ways to find faults and take advantage of others. How far have you, talents from other worlds, developed? How can you possibly understand? These:

"That is a great archaeological discovery that is enough to shock the world. It is world-class. Are you constructing next to it? Who gave you the courage? That requires professional evaluation. Can excavation be started at this stage? Will the original route of the tunnel affect the ruins? , can the tunnel be built as scheduled? Does it need to be adjusted? Who do you think will provide technical guidance? The chairman of Ole can determine it as soon as he opens his mouth. He said no, who is responsible? It is the eldest prince who bears the responsibility of destroying historical treasures. , or are you, Speaker Grant, in charge?”

Speaker Grant clenched his fists, and the veins in his forehead were beating, but he was speechless. He had to admit that what Lynch said was not wrong at all. The Archaeological Association does not need political confrontation like the Valente family, but directly academically. It's disgusting, and there's no way to refute it.

"That's not all. There is also the need of the leader of the Bru clan. The ancient city has been dug out, but is the city dug out a city of the Bru clan? Is it Zul'Glassar? Who has the final say? Even if you look at it, For example, it is reasonable to be cautious and study for ten or twenty years before making a judgment. In archeology, it is not uncommon to study for hundreds of years. Is Chief Bru willing to wait so long?"

There was a sound of footsteps. It was said that the bald homeless man who was going to eat came out of nowhere and stood silently next to Speaker Grant. He just stared at Lynch's smile with sharp eyes and didn't snort until the end. .

Listening to Lynch's description, the speaker's expression was distorted, but Lynch didn't care and still said leisurely:

"The empty picture frame informed us, but we did study the history of our clan for a while afterwards."

Sure enough, it's that black spider again. What does he want to do, and who is the main god standing behind him?

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his bluff had shocked the other party. A smile finally appeared on his tight lips, but he was thinking over and over in his heart about the conditions for attracting the Archaeological Association. While thinking about it, he said:

"I don't know, that's your business, why should I know." Lin Qi spread his hands and said with a half-smile, "I'm not here to negotiate, I'm just telling you the requirements of the Archaeological Association and satisfying them. Any problems they can solve will be clearly arranged for you. If you don't satisfy them, all problems will be dealt with in a formal manner. How you decide is up to you and it has nothing to do with me."

"The second one represents the mountain people." Lynch winked at Miss Valente, who was a little confused next to him, and said seriously, "The mountain people have lived in Best Mountain for hundreds of years and have long taken root. Now because of the tunnel project, As a result, they have to demolish, which is a very troublesome thing. Moreover, the land price of Rand is so high. After the demolition, they will have to spend a lot of money to find a new location. Shouldn't you express some opinions? Well... this seems to be a new one. Things, let’s call it demolition and resettlement funds.”

Speaker Grant finally sighed and said softly: "What are their requirements?"

Finally believed it.

"Are you kidding me?" The speaker's cane struck the ground hard. "Do you know how much that costs? How can the city government afford it?"

"Huh? Is that all?" The two people on the other side were a little stunned.

Speaker Grant was suffocated and looked at Lynch as if he wanted to eat someone. However, Lynch just smiled gracefully and even took off his hat and bowed. He was so calm that it made people angry: "To be honest, this The request is not too high, at least not compared to the demands of other forces. With your status, there are many ways to solve it. I suggest you save your anger until you hear other demands."

"The academic staff are very reasonable. Since Chief Bru can discover the secrets of the mountain people, he must be very familiar with the history of his clan."

Without wasting time to think about it, Lynch just nodded and continued: "What the Archaeological Association wants is knowledge. You ghouls must fully cooperate with the Archaeological Association's research work and provide them with the most comprehensive information. Chief Bru should know that this Although it is troublesome for you to contact us in advance, it is not a bad thing."

"Okay, I admit it," Speaker Grant said bitterly, "What else is there?"

Isn't this enough? In this way, I don’t have to live in the shadow of being raped or being frightened by exams. Muttering in his heart, Lynch curled his lips and said angrily: "The other one is for Speaker Grant. After that, the funds for the excavation work of Zul'Grassar will be fully borne by the Speaker to find a way to get the city government to bear it."

"Their homeland of hundreds of years is suddenly asked to move away. How much mental damage will it cause? This is called mental damage fee. It takes a lot of effort to move the furniture and items accumulated over hundreds of years. This is Moving expenses..."

Lynch clapped his fingers and spoke one sentence at a time with great fluency. The other three were dumbfounded, especially Miss Valente, whose little mouth hidden behind the folding fan never closed. Poor people from the old days, it’s your turn to experience the horror of demolition:

"Randers have always been gentlemen, and they pay attention to gentlemanly behavior. I won't ask you for more for the mountain people. One hundred pounds per person is not too much. I have always been reasonable. Miss Valente, over there How many mountain people are there?" "Ahem, ahem, one hundred and twenty-seven people." The noble lady finally closed her mouth.

"It's such a small amount. It's a pity. It seems that more than ten thousand pounds can solve the problem." Lynch spread his hands towards Speaker Grant. "It's a pity that it's only such a small amount of money. In fact, the money is used to solve the hidden dangers of that thing. It can't really be done. Let it wake up and destroy the world. There should be no such money in the city government's project budget, so we can only rely on the Speaker to find a solution. This money is also indispensable, otherwise the hidden dangers cannot be solved and the mountain residents will never move. Moreover, the Governor's Office and civil associations will stand with the mountain residents. This matter is also not discussed. If you don't agree with the tunnel, just go around to other cities hundreds of kilometers away."

This time, Speaker Grant did not show much anger. He was obviously mentally prepared. But when he heard the specific figures, his face still looked painful and his eyes were almost red.

"Don't worry, there is a third party." Lynch lit the pipe again to clear his mind, carefully recalled Duke Wayne's tone and actions, and pretended to be solemn, "You have crossed the line, Mr. Grant, that You have gone too far."

The Speaker's face darkened, and sweat broke out on his forehead for the first time.

Um? Lin Qi felt something in her heart and realized something was wrong.

His original intention was to intimidate Grant in the name of the Governor's Palace. The so-called incident naturally referred to the Plaza Incident. But Grant just mentioned the victims of the Crown Plaza massacre without any guilt at all. But now that it had just been a few minutes, how could he? To become so restless?
No, the only explanation is that he took it as something else.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and Lin Qi said calmly: "I didn't pursue what happened in the square. Do you really think I don't know anything? You actually did such a thing again, don't forget your identity , you are the Speaker of Rhine City."

"That matter has nothing to do with me." This time Grant had no doubt about Lynch's identity and quickly explained, "The person who contacted Princess Salt privately was Howard. He said it was to raise a loan, but in fact he I’m not interested in knowing what the idea is, I’m only cooperating with him on the railway project, and nothing he does can be linked to me.”

Hiss, I accidentally caught a big fish. It seems that the person who secretly colluded with Princess Chloe is the mayor of Rhine. It is probably him who makes Princess Chloe afraid of having to involve herself. No, a mayor might still It's not enough to make the princess afraid, it should be the power behind him.

Lynch secretly exchanged glances with Miss Valente and said calmly: "I hope what you said is true. This kind of mistake is not as easy to solve as the square incident. Your Excellency the Duke will find out."

Grant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then continued: "In addition, the Duke was very dissatisfied with your handling of the Square incident. Although you found someone to take responsibility for you, you did not show any expression to the deceased, and the impact on the public was extremely bad. So, At your own expense, and not from the city's funds, a subsidy shall be paid to each victim in the name of the Governor's House. The subsidy shall not be less than fifty pounds for each victim."

"I..." This time the livid face was replaced by the Speaker, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenching, "Do you know that my entire property does not have that much cash?"

"I said, I don't know, and I'm not interested, but don't you feel sad that their deaths are worthless? Now you have it." Lynch smiled calmly, "The subsidy is in place, and the Governor's Mansion not only does it to you Continue to ignore these things, and remain neutral on the Best Mountain Tunnel project, without administrative intervention. If the subsidies are not forthcoming... then I wish you good luck. Remember, it is in the name of the Governor's Office, and the reason is you Know."

After explaining all his conditions, Lynch smiled at Speaker Grant who was on the verge of collapse and said: "I believe you can solve everything. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't solve it. At least it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to answer me now, you can take your time." Think about it slowly, and let me know when you think about it carefully, so that I can arrange a meeting between you two parties as soon as possible. No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

After saying that, he took off his hat and bowed again, then turned around and left with Miss Valente. When they were almost out of the cemetery, Miss Valente couldn't help but asked excitedly: "I don't even know. You are also a representative of the Governor’s Palace and the Archaeological Society.”

"I don't know either. I just found out about it."

"Huh? Made it up? It's too real." The noble lady's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face, "Aren't you worried that he will find out that you lied to him?"

"Gates's son-in-law, it's an old joke, but it works." Lynch blinked narrowly, "As for your concerns, it doesn't matter, we will go to the Archaeological Association now."

"what?"

"Go and turn the story into reality. This doesn't count as lying to him, but this time you have to change your identity."

"what?"

"The secret envoy of the Duke's Palace and the partner of His Excellency the Speaker, what do you think of this identity?"

"whee."
