(Four thousand) Volume 10, Chapter 38: Poison Scheme
When Wei Ye heard the strange words of the chief shopkeeper, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said:
"I don't understand what the chief treasurer means, my life is on the line? Wu Bai lied to me? You lied to Wu Bai again? What are these words? The chief shopkeeper said methodically:
"Then let's talk about it slowly one by one, Wei Ye wants to listen to that one first, and he must know everything and say everything." Wei Ye stared at the chief shopkeeper with suspicious eyes, and said after a long time:
"Okay. I'm a very timid person, and I want to know very much, who wants my life? The chief shopkeeper nodded, and then asked rhetorically:
"How many years has Wei Ye joined the Jiang Yue Gang?" Wei Ye replied without thinking:
"The Jiangyue Gang has been established for fifteen years, and I have joined the Jiangyue Gang for many years - this gang was just a very inconspicuous gang in Baling County at the beginning, and the whole gang added up to only nine people, I was one of them, at that time, I came up with an idea, and opened a rotten kiln with only one broken bed with the silver ticket stolen from a plague student, and the Jiangyue Gang had its first industry, and no one could have imagined that it was from this broken bed that everyone looked down on, and the bitch slept on gave birth to the Jiangyue Gang who is now calling for wind and rain in Xiangzhou......" Recalling the past, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, like everyone who recalls the eventful years, his face was filled with a strange brilliance, proud and conceited...... The chief shopkeeper listened with a smile, and then said:
"Wei Ye has made great contributions to the Jiangyue Gang, and he has won the favor of the gang leader, and he has won a supreme red belt, and you are respected under the entire Jiangyue Gang, that is, the gang leader......" Referring to this stubble, Wang Wei said angrily:
"On meritorious deeds? If it is really about rewarding meritorious deeds, how can it be...... Hum. Halfway through speaking, he stopped, but the chief shopkeeper understood what he meant:
"But now, there are four red belts, if I were a great master, I would be very dissatisfied in my heart." Wang Wei sighed:
"Dissatisfied? What about dissatisfaction? She is now the leader of the gang, and she is no longer the eldest sister who shouted that she died on the same day, the same month, and the same year when she was worshipping...... If she wants to make the Jiang Yue Gang bigger, she naturally has to divide more positions to go out, and when she wanted to seal the second red belt, she talked to me about this issue, and I said that I could understand her. The chief shopkeeper advised:
"But three people with little qualifications and little credit are on an equal footing with you, is the great master also willing?" Wang Wei's eyes widened, and he said sharply:
"You'd better never say it again! Since I promised her that I would not make a fuss about this matter, I naturally have to keep my promise! If you dare to drive a wedge between me and her, let me out at once!" In the face of Wang Wei's harsh words, the chief shopkeeper was not afraid, but raised his voice a little:
"It's a pity that Wei Ye is so passionate that he pays others wrongly, although you are willing to keep her promise, she has begun to plan to break her promise." When Wang Wei heard this, his originally pale face became whiter, as straight as gold paper, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If she really values you, how could she directly skip you after Kui Erye's tragic death and let people ask Jiang Xiaoshu for peace? If she really values you, how can she let a newcomer like Wu Gongzi, who has only been in the gang for seven or eight years, crush you, but she turns a blind eye? If she really values you, why do we bother to say these unsightly things here, she has already introduced you to me, why do you always hide your core strength from you? The words of the chief shopkeeper are like a series of bullets, wave after wave in Wang Wei's ears, Wang Wei's face is more ugly the more he listens, and when the chief shopkeeper finishes, his face is already blue and red for a while, green like cold iron, red like pig liver.
After a long time, Wang Weicai groaned:
"You're saying that the gang leader is squeezing me out and trying to marginalize me?" The chief shopkeeper sneered:
"It would be nice if this was the case, but unfortunately, how the Jiang Yue Gang will deal with the outcast, Wei Ye should know much better than me." Wang Wei's face changed greatly:
"You mean?" The chief shopkeeper made a decapitation gesture:
"She's going to take your red ribbon back and give it to someone who listens to her more." Wang Wei's eyes were full of disbelief and muttered:
"How could it be, how could it be ......" Then he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said:
"However, if she really wants to treat me as an outcast, how can she promise to give me 10% of the gang's income next year? That's a lot of money. You should know that although she has a strong wrist, she is by no means a person who goes back on her word. The chief shopkeeper nodded:
"It seems that the great master has believed that his life is in danger."
"No, I don't believe it!"
"Then what else is wrong with Wei Ye?" Wei Ye gritted his teeth and was silent, wanting to ask the chief shopkeeper a few more questions, but after a long time, he suddenly lowered his head:
"This question...... Skip first. Tell me first, why did she promise such a big gift as compensation for her brother's death? The chief shopkeeper said leisurely:
"It's very simple, as I said earlier, Wu Gongzi lied to you."
"Wu Bai dares to lie to me in her name?"
"She let Wu Bai lie to you."
"Even, as you say, confront them face to face when I return to the helm, will they still be able to rely on them?"
"Of course they can't be relied upon, but the premise of all this is that you can survive until next year."
"What?"
"Jiang Yue Gang's income next year, even if it can have millions of taels of silver, exchanged for ten thousand taels of dark coins, it is only so ......thick," the chief shopkeeper stretched out his hand and gestured, and then closed his fingers closer:
"Oh no, it's a little thinner, only that thick...... When you go to the grave, you will burn it, and you won't even be able to spend a stick of incense. Wei Ye's forehead began to sweat, and his mind began to flash the face of the gang leader Chen Qiaochu, as well as countless scenes - last month drinking, I said a joke, everyone was cheering, she suddenly snorted coldly, what does it mean?
During the Spring Festival last year, I suddenly encountered a bunch of unknown people attacking me and almost lost my life
"Got it, go down to recuperate" and sent me away...... Five or six years ago, I took Brother Kui to visit her on the pier, and she looked at Brother Kui's eyes, how could she be so arrogant, like, like looking at a dog, looking at a pile of garbage...... Countless scenes flashed back in his mind, Wang Wei's expression became more and more terrifying, he turned his head to look out the window, the street was full of people, and it became terrifying at this moment, it seemed that any hidden corner would drill out of the killer assassin, and take his life in an instant, and his life would be like a fallen leaf in late autumn, passing away with the wind.
The chief shopkeeper looked at Wei Ye quietly, and after Wei Ye's expression was fixed with a stick of incense, he finally determined one thing - Wei Ye had fallen into despair.
The voice of the chief treasurer sounded at this time:
"Great Master, Great Master?" Wei Ye turned his head with difficulty, and said in a dumb voice:
"So, from beginning to end, I have been kept in the dark, if it weren't for the death of Brother Kui that made me vigilant, I am afraid that in two years I will be killed by the gang leader, and I will still count the money for her?" The chief shopkeeper nodded, then got up:
"Master Wei must be careful, say everything you say, and say goodbye below." He turned and walked to the door, and when he was about to push the door open, the great master stopped him:
"The chief shopkeeper."
"What's wrong?"
"I remember you saying that Wu Bai and the gang leader lied to me, but you lied to them."
"Did I say that?"
"You must have said that."
"Ah, that's a very ordinary little thing, I don't have to listen to it." The chief shopkeeper smiled, and then left.
People are like this, the more ordinary you tell a secret, the more others think that you are deliberately hiding something, so the curiosity will become stronger, and you have to break the casserole to ask whether it will be successful.
But if you keep playing up how important this secret is, he will be suspicious:
"Is this man playing tricks?" Instead, they will begin to revisit the secret. The degree of this is the most difficult to grasp, and many people may not be able to get a little bit of fur after studying for a lifetime.
The chief shopkeeper is obviously a good hand at this - he first threw two shocking secrets to Wei Ye, which directly disturbed Wei Ye's state of mind, but after completely shaking Wei Ye, he left lightly and let Wei Ye ask the last secret himself
"Just right". Everyone has the illusion that the secret they have worked so hard to ask out, because they have put in considerable effort, so the news they get must be the most true, than
"The sun is round"
"Women are essential"
"Money is more essential than women" adds up to 10,000 times more true. So every word that the chief shopkeeper says next, Wei Ye will be convinced.
Seeing that the chief shopkeeper was about to leave, Wei Ye immediately strode over and grabbed the chief shopkeeper:
"Chief shopkeeper, please tell me this secret." The chief shopkeeper turned his head:
"Since Master Wei is so interested in this little thing, then let's go back to the table and talk slowly."
"Less, this must not be a trivial matter."
"Hehe, whether it's big or small, please let Wei Ye tell for himself." The two sat down again, Wei Ye didn't say a word, first drank three glasses in a row, and then poured a glass of wine for the chief shopkeeper, and said sincerely:
"Chief shopkeeper, please speak." The chief shopkeeper picked up the wine glass and suddenly asked:
"May I ask Master Wei, when and where did Second Master Kui die, do you remember?"
"Of course I do!" Wei Ye's eyes widened:
"Died in the early morning of the day before yesterday, after the end of the hour, before the hour of the hour, in the wasteland of the eastern suburbs, by the barbarian called Sheng Yu Ash, giving, giving...... Damn it! Thinking of the tragic situation when he collected Wang Kui's body, coupled with the depression and helplessness in his heart, Wang Wei couldn't help but get angry from his heart, and slapped it on the table, the pear wood table was shocked by him, and it collapsed all at once, and the wine dishes were spilled on the ground, a mess.
The chief shopkeeper didn't know when he had retreated a few feet with a chair, and he was not contaminated for half a minute, he quietly looked at Wang Weiwei and was furious, until Wang Wei's wheezing gradually calmed down, he said:
"Wei Ye and Kui Er Ye have a deep brotherhood, which is really sighing...... I also want to ask Master Wei, when did the Jiang Yue Gang send a message asking for peace to Jiang Xiaoshu and his party? Wang Wei didn't want to:
"How long could it be? Naturally, it was yesterday, the ...... whose name is Ah Hai" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
The chief shopkeeper smiled and nodded:
"It seems that Wei Ye has understood." Wang Wei's brows furrowed, and the suspicious look on his face became heavier and heavier:
"Wu Bai and I received a message at the same time last night, and the starry night arrived at this moment, and that Ah Hai had already sued Jiang Xiaoshu for peace during the day yesterday, which shows ......" The chief treasurer continued:
"This shows that Ah Hai's request for peace with Jiang Xiaoshu on behalf of Jiang Yuegang is a prelude to the first cut and then a prelude." Wang Wei asked rhetorically:
"But Wu Bai originally wanted to make peace, even if Ah Hai did it first, it was just that he knew how to figure out what his master meant and paved the way for his master in advance, what's the problem?" The Chief Treasurer:
"The problem is that Wu Gongzi sincerely wants to seek peace, but Ah Hai is openly seeking peace, but in fact he is secretly murderous." Wang Wei's eyes were shocked:
"Ah Hai has something to hide from Wu Bai?"
"Exactly."
"Why? He is Wu Bai's person. ”
"Wei Ye thinks it's strange?"
"Who wouldn't be surprised?"
"It's not surprising at all – Hai is one of our people."
"Your people!" Wang Wei almost seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world:
"Ah Hai followed Wu Bai's Jiang Yue Gang at the same time, and he did countless things for Wu Bai, and he was deeply valued, how could he be bought by you?" The chief shopkeeper shook his head:
"We didn't buy him." Wang Wei was even more puzzled:
"Didn't buy him? Is he crazy and wants to defect to you himself? The chief shopkeeper nodded:
"He did betray Wu Gongzi and defected to our sect, but not only was he not crazy, but he was more sober than most people."
"This ......"
"Master Wei, do you remember the names of the three swordsmen under Wu Gongzi?"
"Step high, ten thousand swaying and peaceful clouds. What does this have to do with Ah Hai's betrayal? ”
"The relationship is simply great - step by step, step by step, swaying, and rising. Wu Gongzi gave his subordinates such a name, it is enough to see that he is a person who wants to climb up until he reaches the top, how can the subordinates taught by such a person be willing to be ordinary? ”
"But Ah Hai's status is far lower than Wu Bai's."
"It's the lower the person, the stronger the desire for the top." Wei Ye Yilin:
"Yes, that's exactly what happened."
"Our Three Qing Sects can hold out the Jiangyue Gang that covers the sky with one hand and turn Chen Qiaochu into the master of Xiangzhou. Naturally, the second Jiangyue Gang was also raised, and Zhang Qiaochu, Li Qiaochu, and Wang Qiaochu were supported...... Ah Hai is Wu Gongzi's subordinate, and he has done a great job, can he compare to an ordinary middle-level person I teach? ”
"So he did betray Wu Bai? is called to share the worries of the master, first cut and then beg for peace, but in fact, he secretly moved his hands and feet? ”
"Exactly, and it's not a secret, if he hadn't taken refuge in my teaching, how could I have taken that huge amount of silver tickets and land deeds to sue for him to make peace, and took in the remnants of the Zhijiang rudder for him?" Wang Wei nodded:
"So your sect wants to kill Jiang Xiaoshu?"
"Not bad."
"Your sect is so powerful, and the masters are like clouds, can't you kill that thief?"
"The reason for this is not for outsiders." The chief shopkeeper smiled faintly and turned his head to look out the window. It is often said that if a lie is to be believed, one must tell enough truth, and lie where it matters most.
The chief shopkeeper understands this truth better than anyone else, and Wang Wei is more willing to believe every word of the chief shopkeeper than anyone else.
Wang Wei pondered for a long time, then suddenly got up and bowed respectfully:
"Please ask the chief shopkeeper to guide me." Only then did the chief shopkeeper raise his head, his eyes blazing, full of a kind of sacredness and heat:
"Master Wei, do you want to live?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to avenge Second Master Kui?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to get everything you deserve back?"
"Yes!"
"The Sanqing Church gives it to you." Most of the world's rough waves, if you trace the origin of their origins, you will be surprised to find that it is nothing more than a slight gust of wind that happens to blow a shallow stream.
Wang Wei looked respectful:
"Wang Wei is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." From this moment on, Wang Wei turned into a raging raging wave, turning over the river and the sea in Xiangzhou, stirring up the wind and clouds.
"I have a plan, you listen quietly, you need this, so, so, and so......" And the first gust of wind has quietly blown into the distance, and no one can find a trace.
