Chapter 497: Powerful Evidence
Wushisan's destruction of the structure of the entire plot world must be a gradual process rather than an overnight effort, which must take at least a few decades to slowly infiltrate, which leaves a buffer space for the will of the world and Zhao Gao to coordinate their interests after the reshuffle.
In any case, the complete collapse and downgrading of the plot world is not a good choice for either Zhao Gao or the will of the world, and the result of the fish dying and the net breaking must be a lose-lose situation, which is not beneficial to anyone. It's like a nuclear bomb, it's okay to show off your muscles to deter, if you really kill the other party on impulse, the other party will not leave you alive nine out of nine.
The same is true of the will of the world.
If Zhao Gao really collapses this world, has no way to survive at all, and has the will to the world with his own independent wisdom, he will definitely try his best to take Zhao Gao on the road together.
Zhao Gao's scattering of the five stones this time was just a serious warning to the small means in front of the world's will, and in this way, the world's will was a little more restrained - both sides were carefully testing each other's bottom line that the other could touch.
Of course, this can also be seen as a standard war letter that Zhao Gao responded to the will of the world.
In the plot world, Zhao Gao also used this incident to test the four surnames of Wu Jun.
Essentially, it is impossible to be completely fair as long as the distribution of benefits is involved. With the small body of Bei County, even if he made a big cake of five stones, he was not qualified to distribute it. Therefore, Zhao Gao skillfully avoided this point, and only taught the Five Stone Scatter Pill Formula without a single word, as for how the balance of interests between the various gate valves would be reached in the end, he never thought of interfering with any of them, even if some families brought gifts, and some families did not give a single hair.
Of course, as the creator of the cake, he still took advantage of this authority at the first time, so that all the envoys sent by the four lords of Wu County returned empty-handed.
Not only that, Zhao Gao also used his new official position as the "Messenger of the Water" to ask these four families to hand over the charts of the near and far seas!
Compared with the previous one of not giving face, this is the act of peeing against the wind to the hornet's nest.
Several families did provoke Zhao Gao on the sea, but those were all things that could not be said on the table in private. And the act of openly asking for nautical charts simply digs up the foundation of the existence of these families, and even brazenly brings the official name.
Since Huan Wen can use this official position to implicitly remind him to fulfill his promise at sea, then of course Zhao Gao doesn't mind pulling this tiger skin to make a big banner.
Is it tolerable or intolerable? But that's not the end of it.
Zhao Gao has always believed that once he makes a move, he must make the other party hurt, and for the four surnames of Wu Jun, what he wants to do this time is not only to make them soft, but to exclude them from all trade at sea, so as to be able to dominate the sea alone!
To achieve this, from the very beginning, he and these four families stood in an incompatible position - no matter which one of them, it is impossible to give up the foundation of the family, and there is no possibility of any coordination between the contradictions here, but a life-and-death contest.
So from the beginning, when everyone hadn't thought of this, Zhao Gao began to carefully lay out. In the half year when he just entered the plot world, he has been unknowingly supporting the small sects in these families, and it is not only Zhu Yi and Zhu Hutou who have been gifted iron medals by him, but this time it is also the right to let these children of the four families who have been supported by him get the agency right to take the cost price of five stone scatter directly from Bei County!
It is equivalent to nakedly sending money to those clansmen who are already dissatisfied with the big clans.
This method is simply a soft knife that kills people without seeing blood, and a broken stone to break through the fortress from the inside.
If left unchecked, it won't take long for the main sect, which itself is weakening its influence as the talent withers, to fall into internal power disputes due to the rise of the small sect. At that time, the contradictions within the family will make them too busy to take care of themselves, where will they have the energy to resist Zhao Gao's pressing step by step?
And the small sect that was supported was inseparable from the support of the Meng Mansion of Bei County from the root, which meant that Zhao Gao only spent a part of the money - no, he didn't even spend the money, and only used some scraps of five stone scatter to make these seemingly huge and intertwined families fall apart.
This may seem simple, but it is a deadly attack.
After hundreds of years of operation, the four surnames of Wu Jun are indeed huge, and the various forces are intertwined and speak in unison with each other, and even Huan Wen will consider the impact on the current situation before he makes a move. But big certainly has great advantages, but there are also many weaknesses, Zhao Gao, who is used to breaking through from a point, can easily grasp a certain point, so that the four surnames of Wu Jun, who can already sit still, have to jump on the table by themselves to expose their flaws.
The first one is the Zhu family.
Because this is when the family is at its most declining.
Since the Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, only Zhu Dan has entered the history of the entire Wu County Zhu clan, compared to another Peiguo Zhu clan of the same ancestry, it can be said that the talent is withering. To add insult to injury, as a wealthy clan in Wudi, they have been constantly suppressed by the overseas Chinese clan since the beginning of the Nandu River, and if it were not supported by ancestral maritime trade, they would not be able to continue to maintain their transcendent status as a first-class clan.
Compared with the Gu family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family, they all have their own core children to support the façade, and the Zhu family has not had an elite child for several generations, and the plot world has given this family the highest level, but it is the plot C level!
This is not the descendants who are in control of the family, even if there is no invasion by external forces, this family that lacks follow-up ability will inevitably quietly and gradually disappear into the long river of history.
This is the goal of Zhao Gao's breakthrough.
When Zhao Gao tilted his resources to Zhu Yi, the son of the Zhu family's small sect, who he had long been optimistic about, Zhu Yan, the head of the Zhu family, who was angry and lacked foresight, led the private army into Bei County to capture Zhu Yi's brothers under Zhao Gao's deliberate provocation.
You must know that in the past, the four families attacked Bei County, all in the name of pirates, even if they occupied the shipyard brought by Bei County, they only left after some destruction, and never left any truth for Zhao Gao, so that Zhao Gao had no place to say even if he was reasonable.
This time it was different. Under Zhao Gao's arrangement, several stewards of the overseas Chinese clan saw the invasion of the Zhu family's private army with their own eyes. What's even more undesirable is that I don't know if it's because of Qian Qian or out of revenge, Zhu Yan actually robbed several cars of medium-grade Wushisan at the same time under the advice of his subordinates, worth tens of thousands of yuan!
If the front can be explained a little on the grounds of the internal affairs of the gate valve family, the latter is a naked robbery.
Therefore, after receiving the report, Zhao Gao's behavior of quickly surrounding the Zhu family's private army on the border of Bei County is nothing to say, although Zhao Gao's reaction is indeed too fast, making this matter look more like a conspiracy.
Even so, Zhu Yan is absolutely unclear. After all, there has been no fight yet, and the appearance of Zhu's private army in the territory of Bei County and the Wushisan in the hands of the Zhu clan is the best and most powerful evidence.
At a time when the world's will to cast a mouse bogey can't be hidden, it is indeed not too laborious for Zhao Gao to plot a brainless D-level plot character as a pioneer.
