265: Chapter 265 Kamata Sayoko is proud

"Lord Putian, your strategy is truly brilliant.

Without losing a single soldier, Baishan Settlement fell into our hands," Pinyin: Yong Chengshu flattered.

"There's a divine masterpiece from ancient Huaguo called 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu.

Have you heard of it, Chengshu Jun?" Putian Xiaoyezi said proudly.

"I've heard a little, but I haven't had the chance to read it," Pinyin: Yong Chengshu said, feeling ashamed.

"There's a passage in it that goes: 'Military strategy is like water; it has no constant form.

Those who can win by adapting to the enemy's changes are called divine.'

One cannot be rigid in their actions; they must know how to adapt," Putian Xiaoyezi explained, showing off.

"I am enlightened!" Pinyin: Yong Chengshu bowed slightly.

"Then tell me, what should we do next?" Putian Xiaoyezi asked, building suspense.

"Then can we use the same method to take down Bali Gully and Shihu Settlement next?" Pinyin: Yong Chengshu thought for a moment and said.

"We can, but it's not the best strategy," Putian Xiaoyezi said, shaking her head.

"It seems Lord Putian already has a plan." Pinyin: Yong Chengshu wasn't annoyed; he was just speaking casually.

With Putian Xiaoyezi making the decisions here, he was more than happy.

He had no interest in such brain-taxing work, because there was no benefit if it was done well, and he would be punished if it was not done well; it was simply a thankless task.

Putian Xiaoyezi was quite pleased with Pinyin: Yong Chengshu's compliments.

With such a good plan, not having anyone there to appreciate it really diminished the sense of accomplishment.

"Bali Gully and Shihu Settlement must be taken down, but we cannot use the previous method," Putian Xiaoyezi said.

"Why is that?" Pinyin: Yong Chengshu asked.

"It's simple, taking them directly would make management very troublesome.

To manage a group of people, you can't hold everyone in your hand.

Doing so would not only be unmanageable, but it would inevitably lead to many resistance forces.

The best way is to select a manager from among them to unify their management," Putian Xiaoyezi explained.

Pinyin: Yong Chengshu understood, but he still couldn't grasp the intricacies of it, so he just nodded thoughtfully.

"Bali Gully belongs to Yuanjiang City.

We only need to slightly amplify the issues of Baishan Settlement, and it will successfully fall into our hands.

As for Shihu Settlement, that will require a bit more effort," Putian Xiaoyezi mused.

...

After Mayor E was taken down, Meng Shaohui announced his ten major crimes to the Citizens.

For example, bribery, murder, adultery, colluding with cults, and so on; in short, all were crimes that could arouse strong public indignation.

Moreover, every single one of them had human and material evidence, looking just like the real thing.

And among them, there was an important witness, who was Mayor E's secretary.

The Citizens' anger was successfully ignited, and Mayor E's reputation in Baishan Settlement was completely ruined.

After everyone "understood" the details of the incident, they all praised Meng Shaohui's "righteous act."

Once everything was settled, Mayor E was publicly executed and left dead in the wilderness.

Meng Shaohui declared himself the supreme manager of Baishan Settlement and led everyone back to the Settlement.

Early the next morning, a vehicle drove out from the south gate of Baishan Settlement and headed towards Bali Gully Resettlement.

The two Settlements were not far apart; in just over an hour, they reached their destination.

"Zhang Yunle, where are you? Get out here, you bastard!" a middle-aged woman stood outside Bali Gully Resettlement's temporary Command HQ and shouted.

A crowd of onlookers came forward to watch.

They were curious who this fierce woman was, daring to shout the name of the Settlement's person in charge in public.

They all speculated, could it be Zhang Yunle's lover?

Zhang Yunle was the leader of Bali Gully Resettlement's temporary command group, appointed by Mayor E Jie, with full authority to handle the affairs of the Settlement.

The woman shouting at the entrance caused too much of a negative impact; upon learning of it, Zhang Yunle quickly ran out.

"Who are you? What are you shouting about here?" Zhang Yunle scolded.

"Oh, you, Zhang Yunle, are you going to eat and run, denying everything?

Huh?

You heartless bastard, I've been thinking about you returning home every day!

I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!

You unfaithful man, I'll fight you!" The woman was both crying and wailing, her face covered in snot and tears, and when she said this, she tried to rush forward to grab him.

However, the woman did not succeed in getting close and was stopped by the Security Guard next to her.

"Nonsense!

I don't even know you; don't cause trouble here.

You guys get her out of here!" Zhang Yunle scolded.

After scolding, he ordered the Security Guard next to him.

"Everyone, come and see!

Zhang Yunle wants to silence me!

Oh, heavens!

Zhang Yunle is so cruel!" Seeing that the Security Guard was preparing to escort her away, the woman sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.

Several Security Guard stood by, looking at each other, not knowing whether to intervene or not.

The woman kept saying that Zhang Yunle wanted to silence her; if they intervened, wouldn't they become accomplices to murder?

The crucial point here was that the woman on the ground was habitually regarded as the weaker party by the people.

If handled too roughly, it would inevitably be criticized.
