Chapter 111 (Additional chapter for enthusiastic citizen Xiao Fei)

"Xiaohui, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, my position will not change.

But the problem now is the position of Councillor Luo. If he also leads Councillor Zhu Meng to his side, we will be in a passive position.

After all, the impact of the Totem Black Snake's appearance in the city at that time was too great. Although the Totem Black Snake had been safe and sound for the past few hundred years, it did not mean that the upper echelons completely believed in the Totem Black Snake.

After all, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. We in Tangjia Village naturally believe in the totem black snake, but outsiders may not see it that way.

In simple terms, if someone tames a monarch-level monster, and the monster's strength is terrifying, and he tells you that the monster is very well behaved, you don't have to worry about the monster going crazy and attacking the city one day.

If it were you, would you be willing to stay in this place?"

Tang Zhong sighed and said.

Didn't he want to fight back forcefully?
The problem is that the Totem Black Snake is not a contracted monster and has no loyalty at all.

Although Tang Yue is the guardian of the Totem Black Snake, if the Totem Black Snake really makes trouble, who can guarantee that Tang Yue can tame it?
Who would be able to take responsibility for the disaster that would happen? This was what Tang Zhong was most worried about.

He was not worried about his official position, but he was worried that if the totem black snake could not be controlled, Hangzhou would surely fall into disaster.

But if we deal with the other party, the eagle monsters in the south are watching closely, and we will be caught off guard if another wave of trouble arises before we are done with it, otherwise we will be really caught off guard.

"There is one thing I have never understood. Why does the MP surnamed Luo have such a wavering stance?
I remember that he has been working in Hangzhou for a long time. The Totem Black Snake is a mythical thing to some HZ citizens, but Councillor Luo knows that the Totem Black Snake exists.

Moreover, he should be aware of how important the Totem Black Snake is to the stability of Hangzhou, so why would he stand on the side of Councillor Zhu Meng?

Although I don’t quite agree with Councillor Zhu Meng’s approach to the Totem Black Snake, his idea is still acceptable.

But isn't it Councillor Luo who is the biggest beneficiary of the existence of the Totem Black Snake? If a fight breaks out, and if the Totem Black Snake goes crazy and causes huge damage to Hangzhou, then Councillor Luo won't be able to keep his job."

What Tang Longhui couldn't understand most about this Totem Black Snake incident was the congressman named Luo.

"You don't know this. Recently, a plague has appeared in the towns near Hangzhou. It is said to be extremely toxic.

There are rumors that it was the Totem Black Snake who was behind this. Councillor Luo had supported us before, but after this incident, he sided with Councillor Zhu Meng. "

"The black totem snake did that? Old man Tang, are you too old to have a brain that doesn't work well anymore?

The Totem Black Snake is a monarch-level monster. Its toxicity is so strong that even if you, a super-class mage, are hit by it without any preparation, it can kill you instantly. How could the impact be so small?

This is clearly a plague caused by reasons we don’t know, and some people are trying to cover up the real situation by throwing dirty water on the totem black snake.”

"That's what I said."

Tang Zhong shook his head.

"But the problem is who can believe what we say? Because this plague has caused panic among the people. The current public opinion is not in our favor." "This is not simple. Since some people say that the plague was caused by the totem black snake, then we should investigate the cause of the outbreak.

If that doesn't work, then let the Totem Black Snake contribute some venom. If anyone doesn't believe me, I'll let him personally experience how strong the Totem Black Snake's venom is.
Ordinary people don't know what the toxicity of the monarch monster is. Doesn't Councillor Luo, a super-class wizard, know this?
In my opinion, this matter might be caused by Mr. Luo. As a councillor of Hangzhou, he did not investigate the origin of the plague immediately after the outbreak, but instead stood on the side of Councillor Zhu Meng because of the so-called rumors. It seems that he is trying to divert attention. "

Although Tang Longhui has not read the original work, his analysis is pretty accurate.

Everything that happened in the original novel can only be a misunderstanding among misunderstandings, or it can be called a coincidence among coincidences.

The first was that a traitor appeared in Tangjia Village, who leaked the molting period of the Totem Black Snake, or let the outside world know that the Totem Black Snake needed to molt, and that he was very weak during this period.

This gives people an opportunity to take advantage of. After all, if the Totem Black Snake continues to maintain its powerful strength, even if Senator Zhu Meng can successfully exert pressure, he will have to get permission from above.

Otherwise, he alone would not be able to deal with the Totem Black Snake.

But the weak totem black snake is not necessarily the same. As long as he can suppress Councillor Luo and Tang Zhong, he can solve it alone.

Tang Zhong did not act very tough at the beginning because of some concerns. As for Councilman Luo, he certainly did not want Councilman Zhu Meng to successfully get rid of the Totem Black Snake at the beginning.

After all, the Totem Black Snake is a monarch-level monster. If it starts a storm, Hangzhou will be affected and his position as a councillor will be shaken, so he will not take risks with Councillor Zhu Meng.

However, the outbreak of the plague, that is, the incident of his poisonous potion, forced him to find a way to cover it up, and the totem black snake just became the best target for him to throw dirty water on.

In addition, it happened to coincide with the Totem Black Snake's weak period, which can be said to be a godsend opportunity.

But now the matter of the Totem Black Snake's weak period is not well known to the outside world. As long as Tang Zhong's position is firm.

Even if Councillor Zhu Meng wanted to take action, he had to ask for permission from his superiors. After all, a monarch-level demon beast was no joke.

"So you mean to have someone investigate?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. In order to avoid suspicion, our Lingyin Temple Tribunal will not accept this investigation mission and let a private hunting lodge conduct the investigation.

I think Qingtian Hunting House would be a good choice. It's well-known and has a high completion rate for missions.

If they conduct the investigation, they will definitely be able to find out what that Luo guy is up to.

If the plague incident was really caused by a man named Luo, then Councillor Zhu Meng would have lost his biggest advantage.

After all, the Totem Black Snake only sacrificed itself in the urban area and did not cause any damage. It is understandable that something that has not happened for hundreds of years happens occasionally.

I would rather bet on the Totem Black Snake to continue to be peaceful and stable for hundreds of years than bet on the Totem Black Snake to be enraged and attack Hangzhou.

As for the explanation from the public, it is easier to solve. One is possible, and the other is a high probability event. I think everyone knows which choice to make.”
