Chapter 40 Bystander Clear
Chen Pei was single-minded to defeat Gu Lie, but he was not completely blinded by the desire for power and did not spread the food shortage. In fact, it's not that he didn't think about it. In the end, he chose to give up. In the panic of food shortage, I'm afraid that even Fowler can't suppress everyone, let alone him. Even if he successfully sits in the position of boss, he will be at ease only when everyone sees the supplies. Before that, he did not intend to help Gu Lie solve this problem.
Watson hurried out of the house and drove the motorcycle all the way. Today, the tower is under Philo's men. When he saw Watson galloping out of town, he then informed Philo.
Although Philo did not occupy a good position in the center of the town, he controlled the only access to Nile Town. No matter who left the town under his own eyes, he always received first-hand information.
Filo already knew that Fowler chose the successor. In addition to his surprise, he also agreed with the successor. Old Fowler's vision of people is still very accurate. Gu Lie does have such ability, but ability is on the one hand, and whether he can sit firmly in the position of boss is another matter.
Philo also experienced some twists and turns before he finally sat in the boss's position, so he knew a lot about the hardships.
However, he did not take advantage of the fire to rob. The old Fowler fell down, and no one in Nile Town could compete with him. Although Gu Lie took over, it was an indisputable fact that his men were not convinced, which he had heard of for a long time. Chen Pei, one of Fowler's two major helpers, keeps making trouble, and he supports him behind his back. Otherwise, how can he have the confidence to rely on those people under Chen Pei?
Philo sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and appreciated the farce with the mood of watching the tiger fighting. He believed that he would soon be able to unify Nile Town. With such a merit, he should be able to transfer himself to manage a larger city.
There is another reason why Philo supports Chen Pei behind his back, that is, he has realized Gu Lie's power. If he really sits firmly in the position of boss, he may really be able to fight against him, which is what he absolutely doesn't want to see.
The five men sent to intercept have been found. One of them was tied by a chain and starved to death in the two boulder cracks in the mountain pass. If it hadn't been sent to look for it frequently, even if he went through the northern mountains of the town, who would have thought that his men would die in such a remote mountain pass?
The bodies of the other four people have also been found. It can be said that people were sent to dig all over the mountains of Zhenbei, which is not too much to describe it as digging three feet.
After the five bodies were brought back, Philo endured the stench and personally checked the scars on the body. Except for the one who starved to death, one of the other four people was cut in the throat, and two were pierced through the neck by a dagger. The hand of the arrow in his leg was even worse, and even the cervical spine was broken, and another man was pierced through the chest by a sharp arrow.
Philor could tell that except for the man who was shot dead by an arrow, the other three were killed by Gu Lie. A sharp blade can be put into three people in an instant, which fully shows that Gu Lie's combat effectiveness is not bad, especially when his hand is equipped with weapons, his combat effectiveness is greatly improved.
Philo knows the ability of his subordinates. No matter how stupid he is, he will never be left alone. It is inevitable for four people to go together. At this time, he can still be killed by Gu Lie. He really needs to re-evaluate his ability.
It is also because of this that Philo does not want the situation that has been controlled to get out of control, so for him, bringing down Gu Lie is the simplest and most direct way.
When he received the report, Philo snorted coldly, and immediately clicked a few people and said, "You go and kill Watson!" Remember, don't be careless this time. You must kill him halfway. Even if you can't kill him before going to Faro City, you have to kill him when he returns!" Gently shaking the glass, Philo waved his hand, and the men retreated.
......
When Gu Lie returned home, Dolly was preparing lunch. She was busy in the kitchen and looked like a virtuous wife.
"Are you back?" Dolly put down the things in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
Gu Lie shook his head helplessly and said, "It's really not easy to sit in the boss's position!"
When Dolly saw that he was sad, she knew that she must have quarreled with Chen Pei again at the morning meeting and persuaded, "Well, isn't it like this every day? Chen Pei and others can't do anything about you. When you successfully take over Uncle Fowler's power, he will have nothing to do with you!"
Gu Lie shook his head again and told what would happen earlier. Dolly was not surprised, but said, "Are you out of food? This kind of thing is unlikely! The meat and mouse fur in Faro City have been exchanged from us. If our food is cut off, they will have no source of meat and fur.
Gu Lie said, "I guess it was Chen Pei's ghost. The purpose is to put pressure on me. If when it comes to exchange materials, the residents find that there are no materials to exchange, but let him suddenly get some materials, it will definitely shake my prestige."
Dolly analyzed, "I can only say it's a little reluctant!" I think you should consider other factors. You don't have to start from Chen Pei. Besides, he should not have that kind of ability. If you want to persuade Faro City to stand on his side, you need not only a relationship, but also a strong strength! After all, now you are the gang boss designated by Uncle Fowler!"
The so-called bystander is clear. With Dolly's analysis, Gu Lie has a feeling of enlightenment, and Huo Ran is sober. For more than a week, he fought with Chen Pei every day, which made him form a fixed thinking. Except for Chen Pei's trouble, no one else would trip behind him.
Dolly's analysis is very reasonable. Nile Town is an important source of meat and fur in Faro City. A shortage of food is equivalent to cutting off their own money. They don't do such a thing for Chen Pei. Moreover, Chen Pei can't have the ability to persuade Faro City to help him take the boss's position. The only thing that can be explained is that Chen Pei has the support of others, such as Philo!
Gu Lie suddenly stood up, and the sudden action shocked Dolly. He listened to him say, "Dolly, prepare something to eat. Let's go hunting!"
"Hunting..." Dolly was speechless for a while, and his mood changed too quickly!
"Be obedient, go and prepare something. Let's hunt!" Gu Lie's words are beyond doubt, which is also the habit he developed as a boss for a period of time.
Dolly curled her lips and turned around and went into the house to pack up. She believed that with Gu Lie's personality, she should not dictate to herself. She must have thought of something before she could pack up and go out hunting.
