The first reaction of the seven officers was to realize that Zhang San intended to entice them into in-fighting, to kill each other off, and then agree to Zhang San's plan.
But those who could only get three shares in the past now indeed saw the possibility of obtaining four shares.
And those who got four shares in the past now only wanted to secure this year's four shares, possibly relying on Zhang San for their fourth share.
Whereas those who could get five shares wanted to oppose it, they still found themselves isolated and powerless.
For a moment, the seven officers fell into a silence filled with contemplation.
Everyone wanted to benefit themselves, but they felt that Zhang San, both with the momentum he had just now and his reasoning, had fully convinced the principal officers to agree.
At this moment, a hearty laughter came from behind the Council Hall.
"Hahahahaha..."
Zhang San curiously asked, "Is that a Qiongqi flying in from somewhere?"
