My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 332 Reunion with Governor Su, Lu Jin! Lord of Jinghai City: Chu Zhu! (Second Update)
After a moment's consideration, Chu Zhu looked at Huo Qiming and spoke earnestly.

"I don't want to start a bloodbath. Issue an order to the Commandery to coordinate with the Second and First Districts..."

"..." Huo Qiming opened his mouth, and even with the mask on, his bewilderment was palpable. No, this is too...

Eunuch Huang: "???"

Eunuch Huang and many others present realized Huo Qiming's identity once again. However, compared to when they dared to speak and question him in the previous timeline... now, sensing the unusual atmosphere, they dared not utter a word.

"...Was this your plan from the beginning?" Huo Qiming asked, somewhat disappointed.

"What are you saying?" Chu Zhu looked at Huo Qiming strangely. "I said, I just want to reduce the bleeding... otherwise!"

Chu Zhu paused briefly, and Hu Kaikang immediately took over the conversation.

"I can issue orders to have the churches in each district cooperate with Mr. Chu Zhu." Hu Kaikang said with a smile, glancing at Huo Qiming in a sarcastic tone.

"However... in this case! Tsk tsk... But, including the group in front of us, and the members of the Duwei Division related to the young master, there aren't many defensive forces left in the First District, are there? Or is President Huo planning to send ordinary patrol officers to take over?"

Huo Qiming: "..."

Huo Qiming then realized that Chu Zhu might actually be telling the truth, and wasn't just deceiving him. On the surface, she wanted him to remain neutral, but in reality, she was forcibly trying to recruit him—

Well, maybe there is some truth to that—but he can barely accept this situation!
Huo Qiming gave Chu Zhu a deep look, smiled wryly, and reached for his phone: "Okay."

……

Time flies.

In the afternoon.

Inside a spacious meeting room at the Jinghai Municipal Government Office.

The atmosphere at the scene was practically frozen.

A faint gloom clouded Su Tianhai's eyes as he glanced at the armed security team members around him, his mind filled with confusion, completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.

Just now, he was sitting in his office handling government affairs as usual.

The entire city of Jinghai, and even the surrounding areas, remained as peaceful as ever—there were no signs of rebellion, nor any indication of unrest.

However, he was inexplicably arrested. This left him completely baffled...

What on earth happened? At this moment, Su Tianhai was like Qin Er Shi upon hearing that the rebel army had entered Xianyang—completely unable to comprehend where the rebels came from. Don't tell him they fell from the sky!

Lu Jin, who was sitting next to him, appeared calm and composed on the surface, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Unlike the bewildered Su Tianhai, Lu Jin, as the person in charge of the formalization of the shantytown renovation area, had seen photos of some of the union's high-ranking officials. At this moment, he recognized Li Xuan... Realizing the mastermind behind it all, Lu Jin fully understood the seriousness of the matter... At this moment, he felt as if he had been hit by a stick, his head buzzing.

A sharp, explosive sound erupted in his mind... Mr. Bamboo, why did you suddenly rebel?!

And how did they suddenly end up in Zone 1? Isn't Zone 2 a buffer zone? Has Zone 2 already been captured as well?

What puzzled him even more was... what about the police censorship department?
Even if unrest were to occur, logically, the police superintendent's office should be the first to respond. Even if the superintendent's office couldn't win, the news should reach them first, allowing them to consider whether to call in reinforcements from surrounding areas. But now…

For a fleeting moment, Lu Jin even wondered if the police superintendent's office might be an undercover agent. But he quickly dismissed the idea... Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if the police superintendent's office in District 3 was an undercover agent, could the police superintendent's offices in Districts 2 and 1 be?

If everything is reversed... he'll probably have to reflect on whether the police inspectors in several districts haven't been paid their salaries for a long time, perhaps provoking public outrage...

Just then, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.

"Salute to the Director-General!" Li Xuan said solemnly, stomping his left foot sharply and giving a standard military salute.

The surrounding security soldiers also stood solemnly, saluting in unison and shouting in unison, "...Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Chu Zhu, who was about to take a step, paused slightly before his expression returned to normal. He was both annoyed and amused; who had come up with this new trick? His usual system only required a simple salute…

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chu Zhu's mind. She remembered discussing the plot of the Korean drama "The Fifth Republic" with Zhao Xu. Could it be that Captain Zhao had mistakenly thought she was hinting at something?
With her thoughts racing, Chu Zhu walked calmly to the high platform and slowly sat down.

Wherever his gaze fell, the eyes of the crowd were filled with disbelief—Lu Jin was both uneasy and angry, Su Tianhai looked incredulous, and the last of the three bigwigs of the municipal government seemed to be bedridden at home.

What remains are the middle and high-ranking officials of the municipal government.

"Let's speak frankly," Chu Zhu said, crossing his legs and speaking indifferently, "The Great Qian Dynasty has lost its way, and the Goddess Nuwa stands by my side!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, a series of civilian drones flew in from outside the door and began to swirl around him.

There was dead silence.

"I know what you're thinking... Well, don't worry, I won't commit any indiscriminate killings, nor will I remove you from your positions! But I'm going to establish three rules..."

Chu Zhu glanced at everyone and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"The first rule is to open the granaries and distribute food! From today onwards, I will not allow anyone to starve to death in any corner of the shantytown redevelopment area... well, to be more precise, in the fourth, third, and second districts... or even in the first district! Of course, this is not simply to support lazy people; you can cooperate with the labor union—through work relief!"

"My second rule is that I will absolutely not allow any unrest in Jinghai City that could affect people's livelihoods! Of course, there's nothing I can do about parts that are beyond your control. But people like thieves and robbers must all be wiped out and quelled!"

"The third rule... From today onwards, in Jinghai City, I'm the one in charge!"

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu's sharp gaze swept across the room. "Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"I disagree!" A man dressed in a Confucian robe stepped forward angrily, his eyes filled with indignation and contempt. "The Great Goddess Nuwa?"

Confucius said, "Do not let strange phenomena, physical strength, or spirits confuse you! The so-called Nuwa is nothing more than an ancestral deity created by the ancient people!"

"As for the drones... isn't it just that someone is controlling them behind the scenes? What does that prove?"

"The Great Qian Dynasty has lost its way? The world is at peace, how can it have lost its way! It is precisely you, you ambitious man..."

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot interrupted his words, and the man in the scholar's robe fell to the ground.

The scene immediately erupted into chaos. Su Tianhai stared coldly at Chu Zhu. Lu Jin also frowned, feeling that Chu Zhu was more unfamiliar than ever before.
