Today's Five Poisons Sect no longer has the same dominance as before.

The rise of commerce and trade in Tianya City and Moon Cliff Town, and the rapid development of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, made the sphere of influence of the Five Poisons Sect shrink step by step.

Originally, the entire south of the Nanming Empire was under the jurisdiction of the Five Poisons Sect, but now it is only a few hundred miles from Wanghai City, and it is still under their control.

Even so, the prosperity of Wanghai City is not as good as before, and many merchants are reluctant to come here to do business, so that the original inhabitants of the city have a difficult life and choose to relocate.

And this has caused a series of chain reactions, the dock gangs under the jurisdiction of the Five Poisons Sect, the low-level workers will not have enough to eat, and it is inevitable that there will be turmoil.

A large number of workers went on strike to make trouble, and some even fell into the grass and started to rob houses and houses, and no gang was willing to obey the control of the Five Poisons Sect.

Wanghai City was in chaos, many shops were looted, vicious incidents occurred frequently, and many people were killed and injured.

This matter reached the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect in Wangcheng Mountain, and the three Dharma Protectors immediately went to ask to see the sect leader, but they were blocked.

The chaotic livelihood situation at the foot of the mountain had already spread to the mountain, causing a large number of Five Poison Sect disciples to panic.

By the time Xue Jian and the three of them came back, the matter had already fermented to the point of being out of control.

At noon on this day, Xue Jian, who pretended to have just come out of the customs, took the sect leader's wife and his disciple Zhuo Duyun to hold an emergency meeting in the main hall of the mountain villa.

The three Dharma Protectors were anxious, the six Hall Masters were worried, and nearly a thousand Five Poison Sect disciples looked at Xue Jian who was sitting on the top of the main hall with hopeful eyes.

Xue Jian said with a gloomy expression after listening to the report of the Golden Snake Protector.

"Golden snake, golden scorpion, you lead five hundred disciples and quickly rush to Wanghai City, and anyone who dares to burn and kill looters in the chaos will be killed on the spot. ”

Hearing this order, the golden snake was worried and suggested.

"Sect Master, those people were originally our subordinates, wouldn't it be a self-cutting arm to kill them like this?"

Xue Jian snorted coldly and said.

"Do you think those people will still obey our orders now?

A group of outlaws driven by profits, whoever gives a bite to eat, they will listen to whom, kill just right, and in the future, they will bite us back. ”

There was silence in the hall, and the golden snake didn't know how to persuade him.

Now that the Five Poisons Sect itself is difficult to protect, the more than 1,000 disciples under the sect who don't want to support their families and have no money, it is difficult to guarantee that those disciples of the Five Poisons Sect will not rebel.

At this moment, Zhuo Duyun stepped out and bent down respectfully towards Xue Jian.

"Teacher, disciple thinks that killing is only a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is really the best policy. ”

Xue Jian pretended to be interested and asked.

"So what do you think is the best policy?"

Everyone else also focused their eyes on Zhuo Duyun, with a look of curiosity.

Zhuo Duyun said confidently.

"Countering violence with violence does not solve the fundamental problem, and the problem in Wanghai City today is that there are no merchants willing to do business, which leads to economic depression.

If we improve some strategies and make those merchants willing to do business, Wanghai City's problem will be solved. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

But if Yacheng and Yueya Town are developing better today, who wants to come to the turbulent Wanghai City to do business.

Xue Jian nodded and waved his hand for him to continue.

This Zhuo Duyun was naturally pretended by Mo Jiuweng, and his words were also told by Xue Jian, and the two deliberately acted in such a scene.

"First of all, our people are no longer allowed to extort money from foreign merchants, and they all take care of their respective subordinates, if they find out about the extortion, once they find out, they will be fined at least and expelled from the Five Poisons Sect. ”

The first rule that Zhuo Duyun said, everyone nodded.

He then continued.

"Secondly, we must suppress the troublemakers in Wanghai City by force, manage the order in the city, and ensure fairness and justice. ”

Everyone has no opinion on this one, and Xue Jian nodded in agreement.

But then, Zhuo Duyun's words immediately caused an uproar in the main hall.

"Finally, we must take the initiative to seek cooperation with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, let their shops settle in Wanghai City, and attract merchants to come, only in this way can we completely revitalize a pool of stagnant water. ”

The golden snake hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.

"Zhuo Duyun, what do you mean, our Five Poisons Sect has a life-and-death feud with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, how can we seek cooperation from them. ”

There were thousands of people inside and outside the hall, and the uproar was continuous, and the noise was in full swing, and most of them were accusing and criticizing Zhuo Duyun.

Counting, there were at least hundreds of people in the Five Poisons Sect who died because of Xue Jian, including four hall masters and one Dharma protector.

With such a big feud, how could these people ask for cooperation from the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.

Zhuo Duyun was very indifferent to this, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and his expression was calm and did not change.

When the noise reached its peak, Xue Jian raised his hand and pressed it weakly, and said in a deep voice.

"Silence!"

Suddenly, silence returned inside and outside the main hall, and everyone looked at Xue Jian, wanting to see how the sect leader would deal with this matter.

Xue Jian stood up and said slowly.

"The Black Tiger Mountain White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, we are not in the same place as our Five Poison Sects, and it is absolutely impossible to seek cooperation with them. ”

Everyone nodded and shouted.

"The leader is wise...... The Sect Master is wise!"

Xue Jian raised his hand and pressed it twice, and continued.

"But if we don't seek cooperation with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, where will we attract merchants and develop the economy of Wanghai City?

The 200,000 inhabitants of the city, plus the thousands of disciples in my sect, all need to eat. ”

There was a dead silence inside and outside the main hall immediately, no one had a better way, the three Dharma protectors and the six hall masters also lowered their heads, not knowing what to do.

It's very easy to let them go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is really powerless to let them solve the problem of feeding so many people.

After a few moments, when the time was almost up, the Sect Master's Wife, dressed in an ink-colored robe, stood up.

She has a noble temperament, dignified and polite, and has the prestige of the world.

"Husband, in my opinion, we might as well pretend to cooperate with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xue Jian looked back at Concubine Yue and asked.

Madame elaborated. ”

Everyone looked at the stage, but they didn't dare to look directly at Concubine Yue's cold and stunning face.

She said softly.

"Our Five Poisons Sect and the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce have a common enmity, if we pretend to cooperate with them and introduce their merchants into Wanghai City, after a long time, our strength will inevitably increase, and the power of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce will slowly weaken.

When the time is right, let's eradicate the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop, wouldn't this be a perfect use of them, and we can also never suffer from future troubles and take revenge, what does my husband think?"

Xue Jian smiled and nodded, praising him.

"Madam's clever plan, this method is indeed good, it can not only solve the dilemma of Wanghai City, but also get rid of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce and strengthen my Five Poisons Sect, what do you brothers think?"

After thinking about it, the group immediately shouted that the sect leader is wise, and Mrs. Yue is wise.

The scene arranged by Xue Jian slowly guided them to the result he wanted.

If Xue Jian proposed to cooperate with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce from the beginning, even if it was fake, it would definitely be opposed by countless people.

But now, none of them said anything against it, and even the three Dharma Protectors and the six Hall Masters all smiled and nodded, thinking that this was a good plan.
