"I, I was forced!" Mrs. Lillian said this, feeling so wronged. She had been having an affair with Chek for a long time, and Jayden knew it, but he had never said no, and he had urged her to get married several times. But did he take the wrong medicine today? He rushed in without knowing the truth and said that he had dragged her and Chek off the bed, and he beat her up in front of so many people...

The members of the Tongji Alliance immediately booed loudly...

"Chief Cheke, your character, tsk tsk ..."

"You are a disgrace to the citizens."

"You have made the garrison lose all its reputation..."

"You are so shameless to do this. Aren't you ashamed?"

Seeing that everyone was looking down on him, Chek quickly said loudly, "No, I didn't force her."

There was another round of boos.

"If you dare to do it, you must dare to admit it."

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place? Is there any use in making excuses?"

"Lillian has admitted it, is it interesting for you to say these things?"

When Chek heard this, tears were about to fall. He thought to himself, you guys usually treat me with respect, why are you so quick to take advantage of me today? "I really didn't do it, High Priest Mikoyan, please make the decision for me. I will go to the throne of Amon and swear an oath to let Amon bear witness to my innocence!" Seeing that Jeden's shield was raised again, Chek knelt down in front of Mikoyan and asked loudly.

"Shut up!" Mikoyan changed his attitude so quickly that Wu Lai, who was standing beside him, was almost scared.

"A filthy, despicable, shameless scum like you is worthy of entering the temple? You even dream of relying on the protection of God Amon? Get lost!" Mikoyan slammed his right sleeve heavily. "I, the high priest of the temple of Seneca City-State, declare in the name of God Amon that within the territory of Seneca City-State, Chekredon is strictly prohibited from entering the temple!"

"Good! Good!" The onlookers cheered immediately. Checker was not very popular in Seneca, and the garrison had always had a bad reputation. Now that Checker had made a fool of himself in public, everyone was naturally happy to see it.

"Your Excellency High Priest, what do you think we should do about this?" Jie Deng quickly glanced at Wu Lai, and seeing that he had a calm expression and a smile on his lips, he felt more confident and naturally raised his voice to continue acting.

"Don't worry, Jie Deng. I will write to the Third Army and tell them about the dirty things the garrison supply officer did in Seneca City." Mikoyan patted Jie Deng on the shoulder. "You can let Chek go now. As for your brother's widow, Mrs. Lillian, you can do it yourself."

"Okay." Jie Deng nodded.

When Chek heard this, he was naturally unhappy. He thought to himself that you all must have colluded to frame me. You reported me to the Legion, which would force me to lose money. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He jumped up suddenly and said, "Just wait for me, all of you! You want to kill me! I won't let you Seneca have an easy time!"

A stern voice immediately rang out from the crowd: "What did you say?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the registration officer Aesop had already parted the human wall and walked quickly to Chek.

"Chek, if you have the guts, say it again!" Aesop's voice was as cold as frost.

"I..." Chek was speechless. He dared to be arrogant in front of many native Seneca nobles, but he had to admit defeat when facing Aesop, because Aesop was also from the Third Legion. In terms of qualifications, wealth and background, Chek was far behind.

"Chek, you insulted the widow of a military officer and threatened the citizens in the street. I will inform Lieutenant General Dayi. I also want to tell you one thing. The Seneca city-state will never welcome scum like you." After saying this, Aesop drew his sword and said, "Drive him away!"

Outside the circle of people, more than 20 Civil Guard soldiers squeezed in, yelling and scolding at Chek and driving him away, poking at him with weapons in their hands, so that those who didn't know would think Chek was a thief.

When Aesop was leaving, his eyes seemed to sweep over the crowd unintentionally, and then, his eyes met Wu Lai's lightly and he nodded gently.

Wu Lai smiled and nodded slightly. Neptune, who was white-haired but energetic, squeezed next to Wu Lai and said, "Master."

"Well done," said Woolley.

While Chek was crying in front of Dayi and Ivan, the lunch at Baishilou began. Indulgence in joy was always the favorite of the nobles, and today they had watched a good show. After a few drinks, they all started dancing and cheering.

Wu Lai sat on the main seat with a smile on his face. He was naturally in a very good mood. The establishment of the Tongji Alliance was of great significance. It could not only combine resources and manpower, but also allow him to enter certain industries that he had wanted to enter before but had been difficult to touch, such as mining, forestry, and salt industry. Compared with these, the few projects he had opened were nothing at all. What's more, papermaking and printing had reached the point where they needed to expand, and Wu Lai didn't want to always pay out of his own pocket.

Cheers and laughter came into Mrs. Leah's bedroom. After a moment of silence, Leah couldn't help but ask Tina, who was sitting next to her, "What is Wu Lai doing?"

"I'm entertaining friends from the Kiwanis Alliance," Tina replied.

"Tongji Alliance?" Madam Leah frowned. "What Tongji Alliance?"

"It's a group organized by Wu Lai. Half of the middle-sized families in Seneca have joined. Wu Lai is the president. From now on, these families will listen to him." Tina also had only a vague understanding, after all, what Siban Oak said was a bit vague.

"Really? Then, then, doesn't that mean Woolley has become the most powerful person in Seneca?!" Lady Leah almost got up.

"Yes, everyone supports him." Tina pursed her lips. She originally wanted to attend the luncheon, or rather, she thought Wu Lai would ask her to go together. However, after waiting for a long time, she thought she might as well not wait and went to ask, but Wu Lai said, "Go away."

"Then why are you still staying here? Go with him to meet those people. It would be such a wonderful thing. Everyone will praise you and look up to you." said Mrs. Leah.

"You think I don't want to? It's all your fault..." Tina felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help crying.

Mrs. Leah was stunned and thought to herself, why are you blaming me when you can't handle it yourself?

…

After listening to Chek's story, Dayi and Ivan's faces looked a little ugly, because they both understood that Chek had been bitten.

It was a common thing for garrison officers to hook up with widows within the garrison. Even if they were caught in the act, it would only be an awkward situation. But this time, not only did Jayden catch them, he also beat up Chek and Lillian. Not only that, he also went to the temple to make a scene, and happened to meet a large group of citizens watching. Even Aesop, who was supposed to be training outside the city, was there. This was very strange no matter how you looked at it.

Who could be the mastermind behind this? Dayi and Ivan frowned and pondered, leaving the bruised and battered Chek aside.

Wuleglinduo! When this name popped up in Dayi's mind, he couldn't help but look at Ivan, and happened to see Ivan's eyes sweeping over.

"Wooleglindos?" Ivan asked uncertainly.

"It's most likely him." Dayi nodded slightly. "This guy should not be underestimated. Not only does he have the tiger tooth nameplate, but he is also a special attendee of the Supreme Nobles' Council. If he really wants to go against us, although he won't be able to do anything to us, it will definitely be troublesome to deal with him."

"Deputy General Dayi, what should I do?" Chek was anxious.

"May the best of luck to you. Given the current situation, no matter what you do in Seneca City, it will be useless. You should go to the legion and make some arrangements in advance. Anyway, you are not short of money." Dayi said.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Well, then, I can still continue here..." Chek was suddenly shocked.

Dayi sighed heavily and asked, "What do you think?"

After a while, Chek left, looking distraught.

Ivan watched Chek's back, frowned, and asked Dayi, "Is Wu Lai difficult to deal with?"

"Not only is he difficult to deal with, but this guy had already planned all the steps before taking action. He has only been back for two days, but he has already given our garrison three cold looks, and we can only obey him obediently. I am so angry."

"So what should we do?" Ivan asked.

"What should we do? What reason do you have to touch him?" Dayi glared at Ivan and then said, "Just wait, this kid is definitely not done yet."

"Not finished yet? No way?" Ivan was stunned and asked.

"Of course it won't end like this. If it were me, I wouldn't either." Dayi narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "So, temporarily stop the attack and wait and see. I'm going to warn those fools under your command that if they don't want to be as disgraced as Cheke, they should restrain themselves and don't jump out to cause trouble."

Dayi's words were like military orders to the garrison, so the residents of Seneca City soon discovered that there were no more drunken officers leading a group of soldiers patrolling the streets. The shops and taverns that were harassed every now and then also became quiet. However, the tribune Aesop and his civil guard, who had been silent for many days, appeared on the streets again to patrol.

When a noble who was familiar with Aesop asked him what was going on, Aesop replied that it was a normal change of defense.

What he said was not wrong, because it was Dayi who specifically informed Aesop that the garrison had cancelled the patrols, saying that they would no longer be responsible for patrols in the future.

Of course, Aesop knew what was going on.

Seneca was temporarily at peace, but Woolley became busy. He did not dwell on Chek's matter anymore because he knew that although Chek was only a supply officer, he still had some background in the Third Legion. He might be able to bite off some more pieces of his flesh by holding on to him, but that would inevitably be time-consuming and laborious and would not be worth it in the end.

Wu Lai was busy because the first wave of cooperation of Tongji Alliance had begun. Wu Lai's papermaking, printing, horse harness and vehicle harness naturally became the most popular ones - all seventeen members of the alliance invested and joined in without exception, dividing up all the shares opened up by Wu Lai.

When Tina saw Gauguin, Neptune and others sweating profusely counting the gold coins sent by the alliance members, she was almost stunned. That night, Tina told Mrs. Leah the news: "Woolley received a large sum of money today."

"A large sum of money? How much is it approximately?" When Mrs. Leah heard about the money, she became interested and even temporarily forgot about the pain in her body.

"The leather bag holds five thousand gold coins each, and I was able to put sixty of them in it with some left over," Tina replied.

"Three hundred thousand? My God Amon." Lady Leah almost jumped up. "Who gave it to him?"

"His Tongji Alliance members, Siban Oak said that everyone has invested in Wu Lai's business, but Wu Lai also spent more than 120,000 gold coins, otherwise it should be more than 420,000 gold coins." Tina replied.

"Why did he spend more than 120,000? My God, how much can this buy?" Mrs. Leah was shocked wave after wave.

"Tina, you should hurry up. Although Wu Lai is very good to Eaton, Eaton is still young and Wu Lai is a man after all..." Mrs. Leah was interrupted by Tina before she finished her words.

"It's all your fault. Everything is your fault. If you hadn't insisted on dragging me to the dinner at Chek's house that day, Wu Lai would not have ignored me. Now he doesn't even look at me all day..." Tina couldn't help crying as she spoke.

"Don't cry, good Tina. Wu Lai still has feelings for you, he's just a little angry now. Go, go and coax him, he will pay attention to you. You have to try boldly, okay?" Mrs. Leah said with a smile, leaning her body.

"He is not here now. He went out early in the morning." Tina said crying.

"Gone out? Where did you go?" Mrs. Leah was stunned and asked.

Tina frowned and recalled for a moment, then replied, "I heard from Gauguin that he went to the old river valley outside the city to play."
