Chapter Sixty-Eight: Lift it to the sky, let you fall freely
Wang Sen, this is really a good calculation.
If he succeeds in containing Xu Hongru, then they can continue to suck the bones of the cultists, or take a cut of the overseas trade. Then they will still be able to sit in the days of the princes of cloth.
If he Kangning failed to stop Xu Hongru, he would have failed to live up to his Wang Sen's high expectations. Today, for the promotion of his position, he arranged for his son, Zhou Yin and others to assist him, and all kinds of favors will become a reason to offend him and live up to his trust.
At that time, what Wang Sen lost was just a useless Kangning.
He arranged a deputy for Kang Ning in Qingzhou Mansion, and the same is true in commerce and trade, so that he can smoothly take over Kang Ning's rights at that time, and it will not cause much damage to the White Lotus Sect.
Moreover, the leaders who are dissatisfied today will attack them en masse when the time comes. As long as Wang Sen cried in front of them and complained that he didn't know anyone, and was deceived by a child, not only would he not be complained by them, but he could also receive their sympathy, and even drove them to pounce on Kangning like hungry wolves, so as to relieve their resentment of seeing the stinky people riding on them today.
This is really a good calculation.
Corning sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
His predecessor seems to have lived in depression since he was a child, and he has always been a person with little facial expression muscles.
This provided a good condition for him to hide the changes in his inner emotions.
But no matter how well he hid himself, he couldn't help but face the various tricks that Wang Sen had prepared for him.
Wang Sen's tricks are not over yet.
"One of the main purposes of bringing you here today is to announce Corning's latest appointments and mission. Of course, starting tomorrow, we will start to participate in meditation and enlightenment collectively, but Kangning should not participate in it. Do you have another task? ”
Kang Ning raised his head and asked curiously, "Did the sect leader ask his subordinates to escort the gold and silver to trade with the Black Coat Society tomorrow?" ”
"Definitely." Wang Sen smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”
Kang Ning was stunned for a moment, you Wang Sen did not hesitate to risk his life, but also cooperated with the Black Clothes Society to find a new way of wealth for the White Lotus Sect, and finally succeeded, it was the time to strike while the iron was hot, but now he said that he was not in a hurry? Who are you fooling?
Sure enough, I heard Wang Sen continue: "A few days ago, I sent a gift to the list of goods we listed. They said there were too many things to buy and that they needed to prepare for a while. In addition, there are some things that need to be rushed, and the price needs to be negotiated again. No, we've been exchanging letters these days, discussing this matter. There is no need to worry about escorting Yinliang for the time being. ”
Kang Ningqi said: "What does the sect leader mean by other tasks?" ”
Wang Sen got up from the wide seat, slowly walked down the high platform that symbolized power, and walked to Kangning's side.
At this time, many people were surprised to find that the majestic Wang Sen in the past was gone, replaced by an amiable old man next door.
I saw him gently tugging at Kangning's sleeve, taking him out of the crowd and coming to a no-man's corner, then put his hand in his arms and began to grope for it.
While paying attention to Wang Sen's movements, Kang Ning secretly admitted that he was unlucky. From the moment he was taken away from the train, the other leaders of the White Lotus Sect, both mentally and physically, had moved away from him, isolating him in a corner.
Kang Ning knew that this was the effect that Wang Sen wanted to deliberately achieve, but he had no way to resist.
At this time, Wang Sen had already taken out a letter from his arms, gently handed it to him, and then squeezed his palm violently.
"This letter is related to the survival and survival of my church, and it must be taken well. Now, you immediately set off, go to the capital, go to Cuihua Hutong, and find Zhang Ting and Wang Dahua, the two chief heirs. Let them lead you to a man named Zhang Cha, who has given the letter to him. ”
Corning couldn't think of sending a letter and going around looking for two groups of people. However, Wang Sen said that the letter was very important, and asked him to leave immediately, apparently because he did not want to give himself time to ease relations with the other leaders.
Kang Ning sighed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had saved Wang Sen and his party, and he had never changed his plan to use himself as an outcast.
"What are you worried about?"
Wang Sen only used this sentence, which made Kang Ning subconsciously startled. Unexpectedly, the expressionless hesitation on his face would also be seen through by him.
At this time, he noticed that Wang Sen's eyes, which had become cloudy due to old age, were actually very sharp.
has experienced wind and rain and vicissitudes, so that Wang Sen is very experienced in looking at people.
Kang Ning should have thought of it a long time ago, being able to see that he had the potential to fight Xu Hongru proves that this old guy has a high degree of accuracy, and he can really use it to decorate it, and then he can pretend to be a ghost.
It seems that he fooled those believers, and it was not necessarily all a trick of trickery, but he still had some of his own true skills.
But this is not relevant for Corning at the moment. Since he has seen through it, he simply admits it.
After all, he also has a guaranteed skill, and that is to lie without drafting.
While lying is not a good quality, it is an essential basic skill for an undercover agent.
After all, this profession is to walk in lies and walk on falsehood.
So Kang Ning spoke: "Sect Leader, I'm worried that the chief leader in the capital will doubt my identity. They don't know me after all. Besides, this matter is so important, I think they will be doubly careful. Then if there is a misunderstanding and it affects the progress of the matter, wouldn't it be ......"
Wang Sen's eyes had been watching Kang Ning, but although Kang Ning's face was full of worry, there was always something that made him feel inappropriate.
It's just that for a moment, he couldn't accurately perceive what was wrong, so he had to continue with Corning's concern in words: "You don't have to worry about this. I asked Zhou Yin, Wang Fu, and Honglian to go with you. ”
When Kang Ning heard this, he was finally able to win over a few people without being completely isolated, so he thanked him: "Thank you, sect leader." ”
But he didn't know that in this blink of an eye, Wang Sen had already figured out that there was something that made him feel inappropriate just now.
After allowing Zhou Yin and the others to help Kang Ning, Kang Ning's face was obviously relaxed. This shows that he has become wary of being isolated. Sure enough, he is also a powerful character with a good mind. It's really like that Xu Hongru.
Now that he is alert, he must be paralyzed again, otherwise he will take some measures to ease relations with the rumors in private, and then things may get out of control. After all, Wang Sen is still counting on the old brothers who are dissatisfied with Kangning's promotion to one day become his Wang Sen's sharp blades, and pounce like a tiger and wolf on Kangning, who will be unloaded and killed by the donkey.
So Wang Sen said: "If you are worried that your brothers are dissatisfied with you, then I will convince them." Your appointment was given by the head of the Church, and it is not good for you to bear their criticism. ”
Corning was secretly frightened. Unexpectedly, the thoughts he had been hiding well were noticed by him. Wang Sen is really amazing.
Since he had seen through it, Kangning had no choice but to admit it again, but this time he didn't even have room to lie, so he could only say: "Thank you for forgiving your subordinates." ”
Wang Sen smiled. I thought to myself, no matter how careful you are, you can't escape my eyes.
After Kang Ning thanked him, he turned around and found Zhou Yin and the others, using a voice that everyone could hear, but it could not appear that he deliberately let them hear, and said to them: "The sect leader ordered you to help me go to the capital to deliver a letter, this matter is very important, and I need to leave immediately." ”
Kang Ning's words are telling everyone that I, like you, am also running for this White Lotus Sect. Of course, there are some people who don't think about it in this way, they will think that the sect leader is even more unfair, and such an important matter is not handed over to the old brother to do, but let a new hairy boy handle it, which is really too doting on him.
But at present, Corning can only win a little bit of people's hearts, and there are always some honest leaders who will affirm their efforts.
If you don't do anything, then the only way to wait for your end is to lift yourself high and out of the atmosphere as Wang Sen designed, and then let yourself go into a free fall.
is good at killing with one hand, compared with those Zhejiang party officials who calculate Shi Ziming, Wang Sen's trick is more brilliant.
Those fools who fight for the party are far inferior to the prince of cloth who is adrift on the rivers and lakes.
It's just that this kind of clever approach is not good news for Corning. He is now desperate to calculate that he is the group of fools, even if they are in high positions, they are easier to deal with than this Wang Sen who can see through people's hearts at a glance.
After walking out of Wang Sen's residence, Kang Ning couldn't help but glance in the direction of Jinan Mansion. I remember that Shi Ziming once showed a solemn look on his face after hearing that the officials beat and scolded the people, presumably, soon Shi Ziming will light a fire in the spring, oh no, it should be the three fires after the new official takes office.
Perhaps, this fire should be regarded as summer, and the footsteps of May are quietly approaching.
Kang Ning didn't care about sighing anything, and took a group of subordinates who came out, turned on his horse, and went straight to the capital.
And in the mansions behind them, there were leaders from all walks of life who retreated one after another. Only Du Fu and the other three chief leaders were left behind.
"Du Fuwa, today's play is good." Wang Sen drank tea calmly. He sat back in the wide chair and put on that majestic look again.
"Thank you for the praise of the sect leader."
If Du Fu is a later generation, he will definitely praise: "You are still the master, you have profound directing skills." "It's a pity he's not.
But today's scene is enough to deceive many people. They have succeeded in arousing hostility towards Corning.
But this was the first step in their plan.
"I'm not very comfortable with this Corning yet." Wang Sen said, "You better leave early." After arriving in Qingzhou Mansion, be sure to let your people hide. The king's key cannot be kept. Also, while Kangning is going to the capital to do business, you have to quickly arrange your own deployment. Although it doesn't buy you much time, it should be enough for you. If Kang Ning returns to Qingzhou Mansion safely, but he doesn't work well, you will kill him. ”
"Subordinates obey." Du Fu bowed down to receive the order, "It's just that if he doesn't come back alive, what should his subordinates do?" ”
"There will be someone in charge of the green state, you don't have to worry about that." Wang Sen took a sip of tea and continued, "You don't have to worry about the capital. Corning was not long after he became a teacher. If Zhang Cha fails, he will be noticed by Jinyiwei and implicated in him. There weren't many secrets he could tell. Of course, you will not be included. So, you can just work in Jianchang Camp with peace of mind. ”
"Thank you Sect Master for making careful arrangements for your subordinates."
Du Fu took the order and left, but unexpectedly, the course of their conversation all fell into the ears of the cod in the corner.
