Chapter 59: The Ins and Outs
Kuang Suo drank tea in the teahouse almost every day, after the fall of the Snake King Gang, he did not return to the Crescent Moon Mountain; he suddenly felt that he had adapted to the life of the Crescent Moon Island, and was a little reluctant to return to the wilderness; at this time, he seemed a little empty and lost, and once the efforts of more than eight years were realized, he was overwhelmed, as if he suddenly lost his target every day when he aimed and shot an arrow, and lost the target forever! Of course, this feeling only remained in the depths of his heart, and no one could tell him.
Especially when he got up early in the morning, he was very dazed, walked out of the door, walked up to the teahouse, the cold river breeze blew on him, and the chill would make him shiver for no reason. As for where this chill came from, I'm afraid only he knows.
He had never smoked, and now he suddenly wanted to find a cigarette, and there were cheap cigarettes in the teahouse that provided a plate of about ten cigarettes, and they all smelled unusually hot, so he only lit them and took a puff, and he was choked and coughed violently, and his tears were smoked.
Suddenly-
A strong, slightly bronze hand, stubby and powerful, reached over and took the cigarette from his mouth, and pressed it on the equally cheap plastic ashtray, and the cigarette was extinguished, leaving only the last wisps of smoke rising in the curl.
Kuang Suo didn't even look back, of course he knew who was coming, that kind of strange footsteps, one long and one short, almost no need to distinguish, sure enough, a familiar voice soon sounded in his ears.
"Jiudao, you actually have something on your mind, and you need to smoke to kill your worries?" Chen Tianyu took a teacup by himself, and then poured out a cup of strong tea from the big iron kettle, judging from the color of the tea, he also knew that Kuang Suo had been sitting here for a long time, "You won't tell me that you are waiting for me here......"
Kuang Suo shook his head indifferently: "To be honest, I don't know who I'm waiting for, but I don't know where to go or what to do......" He also sighed.
Chen Tianyu bowed his head slightly, he seemed to be able to understand Kuang Suo's mood at this time: "According to my experience, often at this time, you probably need a friend. β
Kuang Shuo still said with empty eyes: "Although the world is big, who is my friend......?"
"Like-minded people are friends. In the past, Crescent Island was an ugly existence, and you recorded too much cruelty and blood in your heart, if you don't solve it in time, I'm afraid you will backfire on yourself. Chen Tianyu's words were meaningful.
Kuang Suo finally turned his head and looked at Chen Tianyu's smiling expression, and after a long time, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Looks like you've got it all......" Kuang Shuo said sensitively.
Chen Tianyu shook his head: "I don't dare to tell you everything, but I know that you still have a great secret hidden in your heart." It just so happens that this secret is what I need to know......" He took a sip of tea and paused: "Of course, even if you don't tell it, I can deduce that I have a bad habit as a person, and there are some facts that I would like to let the insiders tell themselves." β
Kuang Suo smiled bitterly: "Are you here to save the common people, do you want me to be free?...... You know I can't tell you, let alone tell you, so why bother with it?"
Chen Tianyu suddenly said: "Sometimes, I really admire the people of your Buyi royal family, forgetting life and death, killing for righteousness,...... But sometimes I lament your pedantry, times have changed, why do you have to abide by the rules of your ancestors so much, even if it is wrong, cruel, and costly, do you have to continue to do it?" he sighed, "I don't think it's difficult to understand. β
Kuang Suo smiled bitterly again, and the smile was still a little sad: "I never thought about this...... In my subconscious, obedience is instinct. One day, if we don't do this, I don't know what will happen, and I don't know what will happen to our nation?"
The two fell silent, this is indeed a very heavy proposition, and it is not easy for anyone.
"Don't you think your concept is too old and outdated...... Chen Tianyu said with emotion.
"It's hard. Kuang Suo's facial expression was slightly distorted, and he also poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured it into his mouth fiercely, "It's very difficult." β
Chen Tianyu didn't want to delay any longer, he said: "Then how many people are you ready to sacrifice? Whether it is the HN gang or the Snake King Gang, they regard life as a mustard, and it is for personal gain...... Do you want to do the same, and you also think that life is like a mustard?"
Kuang Suo was surprised: "Sacrifice? There is no need to sacrifice anything now...... Crescent Island is already calm and calm, what else do you need to sacrifice?"
Chen Tianyu didn't dare to agree, he sighed lightly: "Although you killed murderers full of evil, do you really think that these people can admit it like this? If one Jiao boss dies, there will be another Jiao boss; if Xu Wenyong dies, there will be thousands of Xu Wenyong; since there is no royal law on Wanyue Island, then a new gang boss will inevitably appear, and you can kill them all? Don't be too naΓ―ve, Jiudao...... You're a smart person who wouldn't fail to think of this, so why deceive yourself. "He had to put the facts in front of this stubborn young man.
"Stopping violence with violence, which time in Chinese history has it succeeded?" Chen Tianyu was also quite depressed in his heart, "Only by returning Crescent Island to a society ruled by law can the Buyi royal family have hope, I think you know the Nine Ways better than anyone else,...... But why don't you do that?"
Kuang Shuo laughed, laughing meaningfully, laughing so hard that people's hearts were sour.
"You don't think that I planned this from beginning to end, do you?"
Chen Tianyu smiled slightly: "Of course, it can't be you who is planning." How could someone as gifted as you have such profound wisdom......"
Kuang Shuo was puzzled: "This sentence seems to be a bit contradictory. β
"Not a contradiction at all. You must know better than anyone that although you are a rare talent, you are not a good leader, and you will never be a murderous leader......" Chen Tianyu hit the nail on the head and left no room for error.
Unexpectedly, Kuang Suo nodded in agreement.
"Beiting really lives up to its name, all of them are outstanding...... With you and Inspector Li in charge, I think it's so difficult and difficult for the world to be able to hide from Beiting Xueliang's eyes!" Kuang Suo exclaimed sincerely.
"Actually, you can also join our team, isn't it more valuable to use your talents to help others?......" Chen Tianyu decisively expressed his intention, which made Kuang Suo quite surprised.
"You're going to recruit me to join Beiting?" he asked, "Why is that? Why are you still short of people...... Besides, my clan is riddled with chores, how can I get away. β
Chen Tianyu said with a wry smile: "There is no shortage of people in Beiting, but there is an urgent shortage of talents. Seriously, if I hadn't tried my best to stop you, he would have gone out of his way to get you into the gang......" He laughed out loud at this.
"It's impossible. Kuang Shuo suddenly lowered his head.
Chen Tianyu actually nodded: "Of course it's impossible now, it's not that you have too many mundane things, but that the bonds in your heart are too deep and the burden is too heavy...... After all, the matter of Crescent Moon Island has nothing to do with you, and you have already achieved a deep understanding of righteousness at the critical moment, which is enough. β
Kuang Suo suddenly said: "Even if you are right, I can tell right from wrong, but unfortunately I still can't tell you the answer." β
"There is no need for any answers, now ......" Chen Tianyu said in surprise again, "Your attitude has already explained everything, and it would be superfluous for you to say it yourself." β
"Oh?" Kuang Suo seemed to be interested, "I would love to hear what you deduced, and if you can really convince me, then I may be able to consider your proposal, and I may not ......"
A trace of excitement flashed in Chen Tianyu's eyes, he was thinking, Yiting, don't say that I didn't do my best for you.
"Actually, this matter is also very simple, not long ago I just flipped through the files of your cloth royal family, and I have carefully read every word. No one can guess anything out of thin air, and neither can I...... I'm just reasoning based on facts. β
Kuang Shuo nodded, expecting him to continue.
"According to the archives, there are two people in the Buyi royal family who are more enlightened, and they went down the mountain very early to integrate into modern society, if I remember correctly, it is probably the second and sixth roads, I don't know who the leaders were at that time, but the current leader of the second road is Lan Min's brother Lan Bo, and the leader of the six roads is Jiang Hua, the wife of Jin Huanzhao...... Then I wondered, is there any other group of people who might also come down the mountain? If you are such a pedantic leader of the Nine Realms who can go down the mountain, why can't they? And your chief leader, what do you think about this......
With this line of thought in mind, I boldly continued to speculate along this line: how should the Second and Sixth Paths gain a foothold in a fiercely competitive commercial society after they descend from the mountain? I am afraid that it is impossible for my people to live in peace and contentment quickly by simply running a legal industry. So the question is, there are many illegal industries, what kind of industries will they choose? Judging from the current situation, the people who went down the mountain are honest people after all, and they have also wisely chosen the most neutral gambling industry...... Later, he opened the Croissian Island gambling nest, which must be the responsibility of the sixth dao, and the second dao was ordered to keep his duty and do business. Such an arrangement is not unreasonable, nor is it a last resort......"
Kuang Suo didn't speak, but his eyes had already betrayed his mental activity.
Chen Tianyu continued: "Since Wanyue Island is autonomous, then the government must also be under the control of the Buyi royal family, which I only realized later, because they took the initiative to help you cover up the secret file, not to mention, this really created some obstacles for us, so that I couldn't find a clue for a long time. β¦β¦ Luckily, we ended up finding the materials in the university town......"
"This matter that wants to cover up, the town government is obviously self-defeating, and it also gives me some confidence in my heart, and the side confirms that my inference is not wrong. So I continued to investigate in this direction: since Liudao is operating illegal gambling dens, then the government must protect them, which is a matter of course, but often society is like this, the government acquiesces to the existence of gambling dens, and there is no way to openly stop the rise of the other two industries - that is, the sex industry and the drug-related industry. I think this is also a very important source of income for the town government, which they didn't realize at first, because of the autonomy, these illegal commercial establishments are often left unattended, so the government just turned a blind eye...... That's the real reason why the HN Gang and the Snake King Gang exist, I'm not wrong, am I?" he asked Kuang Suo suddenly.
Kuang Shuo's face was gloomy, noncommittal, and just said, "You continue." β
"Good. Although the autonomous government acquiesced to the existence of these two industries, it did not dare to really sit idly by, because these black industrial chains will certainly cause many social problems, including direct infringement of the property safety and even personal safety of ordinary people. But in fact, the foundation of the two industries has not ......been touched at all," Chen Tianyu said this, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is a vicious circle, over time, the situation will become more and more uncontrollable, but if they take the initiative to give up the gambling industry that the people rely on for survival, it is impossible to get the approval of the royal family's high-level leaders, and I believe that your chief leader will not make such a decision, so the Crescent Moon Island will come to this day in an incredible mutual compromise!"
"If I'm not mistaken, that's probably how Crescent Moon Island was when we first landed on the island. Kuang Shuo nodded rarely, facts have long spoken louder than words.
He poured Chen Tianyu a cup of tea, but still had no words.
So Chen Tianyu decided to spit out openly and honestly: "At this time, Crescent Island is already like a powder keg that may explode at any time, as long as any party accidentally breaks this balance, the powder keg will be ignited instantly, and no one can predict the consequences...... Probably because we were lucky enough to take a trip to Crescent Island, we actually witnessed this happening with our own eyes. β
"The fuse started from Bai Weibi's attack, Yiting inadvertently saved Bai Weibi's life, but did not stop Bai Weibi's group of comrades-in-arms from the endless indignation of the HN Gang, this is the first time that an external force has intervened in the affairs of Crescent Island, although the effect is not good, but it also gives the HN Gang a heavy blow; and continue to secretly wait for an opportunity; ...... The common people often say that people are doing it, and the sky is watching, this is reasonable, the weakened HN gang did not restrain their evil deeds, and actually provoked the dream circle shop at the critical moment when they were about to enter the ground, saying that it was a coincidence that they happened to meet Jin Huanzhao, who had a vendetta and had the same fate mentality, so the dynamic balance of Crescent Moon Island was completely broken, and this powder keg was immediately detonated!
Kuang Shuo listened with relish, he seemed to have forgotten what role he played in it, and there was a look of urgency in his eyes.
"You already know the things about the Dream Fulfillment Shop, what are you staring at me like this?" Chen Tianyu said excitedly, and he didn't forget to make a joke.
"Wonderful, wonderful!Who made you say so fascinating......" Kuang Suo said happily: "Go on, in fact, there are some things that I don't know completely, you just want to help me add up." β
Chen Tianyu ignored him: "What's not clear?"
Kuang Suo said: "I know about Bai Weibi's comrades-in-arms raiding the HN Gang, and I also know about the Mengyuan Shop, but then I was confused about how the Snake King Gang got into trouble with Beiting." Are they guilty of dementia?......
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.
