From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 453

In this era, normal women cannot accept Zhou Yuan's boxing, after all, it is still too advanced for them.

But for a woman like Kolodiya who has a special experience, is self-reliant, and strong, Zhou Yuan's words can work wonders.

Whether the other party admits it or not, they will be half stunned by these words.

Fortunately, Kolodiya is also a person who has experienced ups and downs. She has been cheated of her feelings, so she no longer believes in resonance.

She is also a person who has encountered difficulties, so she can keep her sanity well.

But what she doesn't know is that Zhou Yuan's words have not actually started yet, just warming up.

"Lord Marquis."

Kolodiya's voice was unusually cold. She looked at Zhou Yuan calmly and said slowly: "What you said is very inspiring to me. Thank you."

"But at this moment, I am no longer willing to listen to your so-called inner thoughts. I just want to talk to you about releasing the prisoners. This is my purpose."

Zhou Yuan nodded and smiled: "What if I don't want to talk to you?"

Kolodiya said: "Then you don't have to spend so much effort. I can just leave."

Zhou Yuan said: "What I mean is, there is no need to be so distant. I don't like people calling me Lord Marquis. My name is Zhou Yuan. You should know my name."

"Okay."

Kolodiya took a deep breath and said: "Lord Zhou Yuan, now we can have a good talk about releasing the prisoners. "

Zhou Yuan said: "How do you want to talk? Do you want me to talk to you with the attitude just now, or do you want me to talk to you as a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Kolodia sneered: "We are not friends, so I don't want you to talk to me in the tone just now. I hope to be faster."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, then I will tell you directly. We will release some of the prisoners, but we will keep six people."

Kolodia frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Zhou Yuan said: "The six people, including Bulwer and Charles, are all Governor Macpherson's confidants, and Bulwer is his right-hand man. They must die!"

Kolodia said: "How can you release them all?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "It's impossible Release them, they must die!"

"Why?"

Kolodiya frowned and said, "These six people are important to McPherson, but not to you. You just don't want McPherson to feel good? This doesn't conform to the overall view of an official, right?"

Zhou Yuan said, "It fits, because I will tell McPherson tactfully that I originally planned to release all of them, but you asked to kill these six people."

Kolodiya's face suddenly changed. She stared at Zhou Yuan and trembled, "You...you do this to make him suspicious of me?"

"No."

Zhou Yuan said lightly, "It's not suspicion of you, it's treating you as an enemy."

Kolodiya couldn't help but said angrily, "What are you going to do!"

Zhou Yuan said, "I will also tell McPherson tactfully that the three cruisers You arranged for someone to burn the cruiser."

Kolodiya said: "Damn it, you want us to have an internal conflict? This is impossible, he won't believe what a Dajin person says!"

Zhou Yuan said: "But he believes in interests! Without the cruiser, the goods can't be shipped out, and his interests have suffered losses."

"The profits from the shipment belong to you... You are dissatisfied with this, and the lack of cruisers makes everyone uncomfortable. This reason is reasonable."

"McPherson is very smart. He may not believe me, but he will lose some of his rationality when his interests are lost."

"At the same time, he will think that you, who have been exploited by him for a long time, have reason to retaliate against him."

"In any case, he will doubt you and suppress you to a greater extent!"

Kolodiya stood up and shouted: "You lunatic! You will get nothing by doing this! You will only make McPherson dictatorial and let him completely control Haojing! This is definitely not good news for you Dajin!"

"You framed me, which will only make us both lose! "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I can afford to lose. The sea control has been lost anyway. I don't care. Can you afford to lose at least?"

Kolodiya stared at Zhou Yuan, wishing she could eat him.

She used to think Zhou Yuan was very special because he could understand her pain and heart. Now she thinks Zhou Yuan is an out-and-out lunatic and bastard.

Zhou Yuan continued, "When you were young, you were deceived and kicked out of the family. Was it painful?"

"You gave birth to a daughter at a young age, and you had to make a living with your child alone. You experienced all the bitterness of the world... Was it painful?"

"You gritted your teeth and persisted, while enduring criticism and prejudice, and showing your best side to your daughter... Both sides put tremendous pressure on you, and you were in pain.Is it painful? "

"You finally made it and won the position of Minister of Trade of Macau. You came here to make a fortune, but you were suppressed by McPherson. You had no place to exert your strength, and even had to bear the responsibility for the burning of the cruiser... Is it painful? "

"You thought that you could get through it if you endured it. There would always be opportunities to make a fortune. After signing the treaty with Dajin, you would always get a share even if McPherson's appetite was bigger. But I framed you like this, not only did you not get that share, but you even had a hard time guaranteeing your own safety... Is it painful? "

Kolodiya gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Don't say it anymore!"

Zhou Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "The bard took the money from your family and left. In his eyes, you are not even as valuable as that little money."

"When the family learned that you were pregnant, they drove you out. In their eyes, you are not as important as the family's reputation."

"So many people look down on you, so many people treat you as the cheapest thing. "

"You gritted your teeth and persisted, vowing to make a name for yourself, to make enough money, to prove to those who once looked down on you."

"But now, everything is gone. Under my design, you have no hope at all."

Kolodia said loudly: "McPherson is not that stupid! He will never believe you!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "It is precisely because he is not stupid that he will believe me."

"What he wants is all the power and all the benefits. You are a roadblock. He just doesn't have a good excuse to overthrow you. Now I give it to him."

"What's more, there are too many benefits to overthrowing you. In addition to benefits and power... He even has a chance to get you, right?"

"Ms. Avina, I believe you know something about your beauty. You should know that McPherson must have coveted you for a long time."

"He wishes you to be as miserable as possible! That way he will have the opportunity to threaten you, occupy you, and force you to submit. "

Kolodiya finally couldn't stand it anymore. She looked horribly ugly. She stared at Zhou Yuan and gritted her teeth and said, "What are you going to do! Why are you doing this to me! What good will this do you!"

Zhou Yuan said slowly, "You asked me to negotiate with you in the tone of a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, didn't you?"

"Before, I spoke to you as a friend, and those words were actually quite good. You just chose the latter."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan laughed and said softly, "So, Kolodiya, are you willing to treat me as a friend? If you are willing, I will say something to you as a friend."

This time, Kolodiya didn't dare to correct Zhou Yuan's address.

She just looked at Zhou Yuan, her face kept changing, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "What are you going to say?"

Zhou Yuan said, "It seems that you treat me as a friend. You don't have to stand to talk to a friend. Sit down and let's talk while eating. "

Kolodiya took a deep breath and sat down slowly. She felt that Zhou Yuan's young face looked so sinister.

He was a conspirator! A conspirator like McPherson!

Every word he said seemed like a sword that could pierce a person's heart.

Kolodiya was very uneasy. She felt that she was being calculated, but she had no way to do anything.

She was an orphan and a widow, and had suffered from prejudice for so many years.

But she was also very curious. Now that the conversation had come to this point, what else did the other party want to say as a friend?
