Chapter 080 Who will be the boss?
"Yeah, who should I listen to?"
Everyone looked at each other, some were eager to try, but they didn't dare to bring it up themselves. After all, being the leader was not only prestigious, but also profitable.
Zhang Xiang had received benefits from both families before, and they had been coveting him for a long time.
Li Mumu looked at those people with shining eyes. They ran faster than anyone else when danger came, and their experience was not that great.
She looked at Liuzi again. Although this man was young, he was honest, brave and responsible. If a new leader was to be chosen, he would be the best choice.
"Why don't we have Lao Luo come? He's the oldest here and has escorted prisoners before, so he has experience."
Luo Geng shook his head and said modestly, "I... can't. How about you see if there is anyone more suitable?"
"Who could be more suitable than you? It's you, brothers, what do you think?"
Liuzi didn't say anything, didn't fight or compete, just wanted to do his own thing steadily.
Li Mumu saw that the leader's choice was decided so hastily. In order to make her future life more comfortable, she decided to take action. Although this would offend people, she didn't care.
"Yes, Uncle Rob is the most suitable person. If danger comes, he will take us away quickly, right, Uncle Rob?"
After Li Mumu finished speaking, the faces of Luo Geng and several of his supporters became extremely ugly. They were obsessed with power and looked particularly ferocious.
"You have no right to speak here." Luo Geng no longer pretended to be humble, but revealed his true nature.
Li Mumu spread her hands, "Uncle Luo, I'm praising you!"
"Shut up!" Luo Geng gritted his teeth.
Li Mumu stopped talking, but her words served as a warning to those who had just objected. "That girl is right. You're a coward. Last time you encountered a pack of wolves, you insisted on taking two brothers with you to escape. But when you came back, they were dead. Who knows if you were the one who abandoned them? If you had been the one leading the team, would your brothers still be able to return alive?"
"You..." Luo Geng's eyes were bloodshot. "Then you're not much better. Weren't you the one who pushed the brothers out to block the attack? Same here."
The two groups were arguing fiercely. Li Mumu crossed her arms and waited for them to argue. Anyway, this time neither side would give in to the other, and neither of them had the chance to lead the team.
The two sides were arguing fiercely, and the scene was ugly. Seeing this, Liuzi hurried to intervene, "Don't do this. Isn't the purpose of being a leader to escort the prisoner to the place where he lives and bring him back safely?"
Although Mr. Gu didn't say a word, he nodded slightly after Liuzi finished speaking. He had been keeping an eye on this young man.
If he were still leading troops in battle, I would definitely bring him under my command.
"Choosing a leader requires great care. He must be both convincing and capable. Otherwise, the journey is long and we might run into danger and be wiped out."
Old Master Gu spoke calmly, but he didn't look at the people with bruised faces and noses.
Although he is a prisoner, everyone still believes in his words. After all, the ability of their Gu family is obvious to all.
"Then... who do you think is the most suitable, old man?"
Old Master Gu glanced at the crowd, ignoring their expectant gazes. He smiled inscrutablely, "I can't say for sure. You guys should decide for yourselves. But I have a word of warning for you all. If you choose someone with a narrow mind, your brothers won't have an easy time on the road."
The two groups looked at each other, and they seemed to have taken the old man's words into account. Finally, their eyes fell on Liuzi, who had an anxious look on his face.
If nothing else, this guy is just stupid in their eyes.
They rush to do the work, but refuse the benefits. What’s more important is that they are not the other party’s people.
Liuzi was a little overwhelmed by being stared at. He wiped his face and said, "You...what's wrong with you?"
"If you ask me, it's Liuzi." Luo Geng said with a wry smile, "What do you think?"
Since he couldn't be the boss, he naturally couldn't let the man named Tao become the boss.
Tao Xing gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay."
He was thinking the same thing at the moment. Liuzi was young and easy to control. As long as he had a good relationship with Liuzi, it would be no different from him being the boss. The benefits would still go into his pocket.
The two parties quarreled fiercely, and in the end the benefit went to Liuzi.
Liuzi was terrified. "No, no, brothers, I'm young and this is my first time out here. I can't handle such a big responsibility."
Tao Xing put his arm around his shoulders and looked at Luo Geng provocatively, "What are you afraid of? You don't have experience, but I do. Everyone can see what kind of person you are. This leader must belong to you."
He just thought about it. If something happens, there will be someone to take the blame, right?
Luo Geng and others also said the same thing. Liuzi felt uncomfortable all over, but he had no choice but to agree, otherwise the two sides would quarrel and even fight.
"Um...brothers, could you please stop fighting? Let's get the person to where he is and report back."
"Okay, there's no reason for us not to listen to what the boss says."
"That's right, Liuzi, no, it's the boss." Tao Xing slapped himself lightly in a scoundrelly manner. "Look at my stinky mouth. From now on, if you tell us to go east, we will never go west."
Liuzi shook his head nervously, "That's not necessary."
Before the team set out again, Liuzi wanted to have the bodies buried to prevent passers-by from seeing them and scaring them, as they definitely could not be taken away.
Unfortunately, several of them acted like big shots, agreeing readily but not a single one of them took any action.
There was no other way, he could only do it himself.
After dark, the exile team rested in the town. The yamen runners had to go buy things. They were responsible for the prisoners' food, and he took the initiative to ask the Gu family if they wanted to go.
It would be a shame not to take such a good opportunity. Moreover, according to Zhang Xiang, the road ahead is not easy, so it is better to buy more.
Song Qiang gave Liuzi some silver according to the old rules, but Liuzi took a few steps back in fear, "No... No, this is not allowed."
Song Qiang was stunned for a moment, while the yamen runners beside him had red eyes and cursed Liuzi, the idiot, in their hearts.
He doesn't want it, but they still do.
You can't accept it and then share it with your brothers.
Late at night, in the residence of the governor of Zhuzhou.
The people sent by Prefect Pei to investigate came back to report the results of their investigation.
Upon hearing this, Prefect Pei knocked over the teacup beside him and said angrily, "Useless! A bunch of useless people! I've kept them for so long, and yet they can't even beat a few hungry prisoners."
Not full? He would never say that if he met the Gu family.
At this moment, Song Qiang was hesitating whether to buy chicken, duck, or pork?
They are in exile, is it appropriate for them to eat meat and fish all day long?
But when buying, he was not stingy at all. The conditions on the road were difficult and he couldn't let the children suffer.
