Chapter 56: A Story More True Than the Truth

There are some questions, Wang Luo likes to ask with a smile.

Because it will make those otherwise aggressive questions seem relatively mild and less irritating.

For example, the question he is talking about right now: if Zhang Yu blames Shi Yue for the decline of Shijie, and promises an upcoming great fortune...... How should Kong Zhang, the third jade lord who must maintain neutrality, deal with it?

This question is not so much a question as a torture, because the answer is actually obvious.

Kong Zhang's silence is already a clearer answer!

But Zhao Xiuwen couldn't get used to this silence, and stood up and said: "This statement is not right! Attributing the decline of Stone Street to the Shi family is speculation without any evidence. And sacrificing Shi Yue in exchange for the revival of Stone Street is also speculation without evidence. Could it be that only this subjective speculation can decide whether Shi Yue will stay or go? Then you can sacrifice Shi Yue today, will you be able to sacrifice Kong Lao tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is anyone! ”

Wang Luo smiled: "How can there be no evidence? Thousands of years of bloody history is not evidence? You say that the decline of Stone Street is not because of the Shi family's iniquity, but what is the reason? To whitewash the Shi family, you always have to come up with a more convincing charter, can you take it out? Why don't you write to the Ministry of Law and beg them to connect with the Great Law and show a copy of the Shi family's innocence? ”

Zhao Xiuwen was speechless for a moment, although he only felt that this logic was awkward in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Wang Luo took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "The Shi family has done evil, and the Shi family has repaid, isn't it justified?" Shi Yue likes to pay off debts for his ancestors so much, so should he also shoulder this biggest debt? Compared with Shi Xiusheng's tens of millions of gambling debts, which caused Shijie to decline for thousands of years, its loss is more than 10 billion? How can this debt be ignored? And to repay all this, as long as she leaves Stone Street, is there anything cheaper in the world? Maybe leaving Stone Street would be a relief for her? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuwen had to surrender: "It's me who lost, the mountain lord is invincible, I sincerely admire it, so if Zhang Yu moves out of this remark, how should we deal with it?" Or rather, would he really ask that? ”

Wang Luo said: "The specific wording will only be more inflammatory than what I said, after all, he has been preparing for this for a long time, and has invited first-class staff to polish the text." ”

Shi Yue couldn't help but ask: "Lord Mountain, is the decline of Stone Street really because of the Shi family?" ”

Wang Luo said: "If you want to draw an objective conclusion, you must admit that the Shi family bears an unshirkable responsibility for this. Shijie was originally a fief given to the Shi family by his senior sister, so the decline of the fief, you, the landlord, are duty-bound. But on the other hand, the Shi family has decayed to such a state, and it can be said that it is the first to bear the brunt of the thousand-year decay. What's the point of continuing to criticize the Shi family? What's more, you are well-behaved and have a good character, which is obvious to all, so although there is no shortage of discussions against the Shi family in the streets and alleys, you can always be loved by the neighbors, because everyone at least understands this truth: it is meaningless and shameful to blame a young girl who has been striving for self-improvement for thousands of years. ”

"As for whether the Great Law is disgusted with the Shi family, I think there is, but the law of the new era is not the way of heaven in the old era, if you have an opinion on the law, you can write to the Governor's Palace, to the Ministry of Law or even directly to the Golden Deer Hall, if there is a lawyer willing to take action, the Great Law must not be changed. is a rotten person like Shi Xiusheng, and being punished by the Great Law can be described as natural and righteous, and the people's hearts are wanted. But when it comes to Shi Yue, if he still has to be rejected by the great law, it is the law that is wrong, not Shi Yue. ”

After speaking, Wang Luo also sighed, and shook his head under the attention of Shi Yue and others.

"The above righteous arguments are also called great truths."

These three words made Shi Yue feel a little nervous.

Because the word "great truth" has never been a compliment in Wang Luo's mouth, it is only worthy of being used as a foreshadowing for reversal.

"The great truth is the truth that is divorced from reality, and the reality outside the great truth is that the people of Stone Street treat you well and respect you, and an important reason is that it is useless to criticize you. Naturally, not many people are willing to do unprofitable things. But what if it helps? What if you were swept out of Stone Street, and there would be great benefits? When Zhang Yu openly laid out this condition, he didn't even need to argue rigorously, as long as he promised a wealth from heaven, as the richest man in Shijie, and then pulled a deacon of Jinlanwu as an endorsement, do you have confidence that those neighbors who treat you kindly can not be moved? ”

Shi Yue opened his mouth, but did not speak.

To be naΓ―ve, of course, it can be said that she has confidence in the unity and family affection of the people of Shijie, just as she is as confident in paying off tens of millions of debts by working part-time......

But she no longer has the qualifications to be naΓ―ve.

Wang Luo said: "Actually, I believe that there will be many people who choose feelings in front of interests and feelings, and would rather continue to be poor than persecute an innocent person against their conscience." After all, the so-called poverty of Shijie is far from the point where there is no food and clothing. But the best thing to do is not to let the neighborhood face this choice. It's like a couple who don't have nothing to do and test each other's sincerity. Never do anything that is guaranteed to lose and not earn. ”

Shi Yue asked, "Lord Mountain, so, you already have a way?" ”

Wang Luo nodded: "I'm going to tell you another story, a more interesting story." The first half of the story is no different from Zhang Yu's version, it is about the decline of Shijie and the Shi family, and then there is the huge turning point that Shijie is about to usher in. But there will be an essential difference here from Zhang Yu's version: the turning point of Shijie was obtained by Shi Yue. It was Shi Yue, with his noble character and diligent work, that changed the oppression imposed on the Shi family for thousands of years, and now the strategic opportunity is the compensation of the Great Law for the pressure on the people of Shijie for thousands of years in the past. The fact that she was able to meet noble people like me is a sign that her fortunes have changed completely. However, at this moment, some people were greedy and wanted to get in the way and rob Shi Yue's luck. ”

Although the story is only halfway told, the three people under the tree have already realized their own realizations.

Wang Luo said with a smile: "The logic behind is actually logical, Shi Yue, as the first jade master, should get the most benefits in this change, the revival of the family is just around the corner, and it is also just around the corner to lead Shi Street to usher in prosperity again." But the people in the upper city don't see the people at the bottom turn over, and they are even more greedy for the benefits of Stone Street. So he colluded with Zhang Yu, the richest man in Shijie, to snatch Shi Yue's identity as the jade lord, in a vain attempt to become the new master of Shijie with Li Daitaozhuang's method and steal the favor given to Shijie people by the Great Law...... And if we Stone Street people don't want the wealth we deserve to be stolen by others, we must unite as one, not be deceived by anyone's gossip, and cut back all the greedy hands that come to Stone Street! How, do you still like this story? ”
