Pearl Volume IV. Immediate benefits, enough temptation

"Yutong doesn't have to be in a hurry, listen to me and analyze it. I just listened to the general manager's eloquent words: "The Shengyan Hall of the Chinese Academy of Studies has an extraordinary status in both the martial arts and the court. In the minds of students all over the world, it is even more sacrosanct. The literati are on their side, and their words naturally carry more weight than ours. They only need to say one sentence publicly: saying that Gong Wenyu saw that one side was being chased and killed at that time, and Lu saw that he was uneven and drew a sword to help, they could explain everything. And we and the Yongle Gang have become dog-eat-dog. So the more we talk, the more passive we become, and when the time comes, the Chinese Academy will become the winner on the table, the Yongle Gang will become the victim, and the black pot will be all on our back. ”

"Then let Zhu Changle talk nonsense everywhere?"

Bian Gu'an: "No, no." After a while, we can declare to the outside world that our people do have the intention of grabbing the treasure and have come back to the operation. But because of this, he was chased and killed by the Yongle Gang, and was rescued by Gong Wenyu on the way. The people of Changle Palace are very grateful, and make a special statement that Gong Wenyu is not a murderer and treasure grabber. But this treasure has not fallen into our hands, it should still be in Zhu Changle's hands. ”

"Even so, we are all at the bottom of public opinion, and others may not believe it. ”

"Don't believe it!" Bian Gu'an smiled evilly and said, "If you don't believe it, let them ask Gong Wenyu." ”

Gong Wenyu can be inferred that he doesn't know. ”

Bian Guan: "He is the focus of the speech dispute between the two sides, I don't know, who believes ......"

"Then will he bite us back and say that we have something in our hands? ”

Bian Guan: "No. The Yongle Gang says he's a murderer, while we say he's a hero who saves lives. Whoever to help, who to testify, the other party is not a fool. If he really said that the things are in our hands, then the Yongle Gang will confirm that we sent Gong Wenyu to kill Jia Quanmanmen. ”

"In this way, we are invincible. ”

"Actually, I didn't do anything, everything was done by Zhu Changle himself, and he regretted his decision. ”

☯☯☯☯☯

In the study, Zhu Changle's face was pale, and the military advisor Feng Renyu in front of him did not look much better.

"The helper, it's because his subordinates didn't take care of the situation and didn't investigate the identity of that person in advance, so he has become so passive now. ”

Zhu Changle: "Saying these things now will not help, but to remedy them." ”

yes, remedy.

At the beginning, all this was Zhu Changle's order, and now there is such a big mistake in the plan, and he really needs to remedy it.

This is the sorrow of being a subordinate, no matter how famous you are in the rivers and lakes, how thunderous you are, when you encounter something, you have to carry the black pot to the Lord.

"Yes," Feng Ren replied: "My subordinates will order someone to recover the news." ”

Zhu Changle: "No need. Although this matter has not yet spread in the martial arts, those well-informed gang forces are afraid that they already know about it. Even if we get the news back, they'll get the news out. When the time comes, they will be able to say whatever they want, and it will be even more disadvantageous to us. ”

"Then what should we do, please show me the Lord. ”

Zhu Changle: "You added the news, saying that the dart master was seriously injured in the battle between the two sides to grab the treasure." The last person we saw before we fell unconscious was Gong Wenyu, and the treasure we were fighting for was indeed gone. Under unknown circumstances, it is speculated that the thing may have been taken by Gong Wenyu. If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me. ”

"Helper Gao Jian, in this way, even if others don't believe us, we must be suspicious of the whereabouts of the treasure. ”

"Alright, there you go. Remember, don't rush to send out this news first, and wait for the people in the rivers and lakes to react to the treasure hunt before spreading the news. ”

"Yes. Feng Renyu left for a while before Zhu Changle took a long breath and washed the pen in front of him.

I saw a landscape painting behind him suddenly close, revealing a small window.

It turned out that behind the study was a dark room.

Inside, there is a table with an oil lamp on it.

Next to it, there was also a man standing, fiddling with the wick with small tweezers.

The man had his back to the window and could not see his face.

"Everything is within your calculations, but now that the situation is not in our favor, can I really meet my requirements?"

The person in the dark room said: "Nowadays, there are many martial arts sects, and all forces are clamping each other, so you can't do anything. It's like the killing of the martial arts alliance leader candidate, the world is shocked, but is there anything radical happening?"

Zhu Changle: "But what you arranged, can it cause a fight?" You also said that even if the candidate for the leader of the martial arts alliance was killed, it did not trigger any follow-up reaction, and the death of a few dart masters and housekeepers can lead to disputes in the world. ”

The man said: "A man can resist temptation because it is not enough, and a man can stay away from profit because it is too far away." The killing of the Wulin League leader candidate has nothing to do with the vast majority of gangs in the rivers and lakes, and the interests they are responsible for have not decreased because of the killing of their hearts, nor will they increase because the murderers have been brought to justice. This is like whether the emperor is Zhu or Liu, those who farm still farm, and those who fish continue to fish. But Changle Palace, Yongle Gang, and Shengyan Hall are all really down-to-earth gangs. Fighting and accusing each other for a treasure can attract the attention of many people in itself. And now, this treasure that made the three parties blush is gone. Just ask, who can withstand this immediate benefit. ”

Zhu Changle: "If you want to say that it can cause all parties to fight, Wang Yangming is an excellent inducement, and he has even caused all parties to fight, but there is no chaos in the world?"

The man said: "Indeed, if that matter is not handled well, it can really cause chaos in the world." But whoever really benefits has this account in his heart. As the old saying goes: Man sees only its benefits but not its harms, and fish only sees its food but not its hooks. But Wang Yangming's matter has not yet appeared, and the harm is known. Who would make sacrifices for unknown gains and immediate damage? ”

Zhu Changle: "Can you use Wang Yangming's matter to bring me benefits?"

“......”

"You don't speak because I can't benefit from this, or do you simply can't think of a way?"

The man snorted coldly and said with a little disdain, "You are testing me." ”

Zhu Changle: "Indeed. Everything is as you expected, but I have not gained any benefit, and I naturally want to test you. What's more, can I not doubt a person who boasts that he can benefit others but does not get any benefit from it?"

The man said: "There are too many ways to use Wang Yangming, I have to grow ten more heads before I can remember." But you don't necessarily get more than we plan to do now. Shaolin and Heavenly Master Dao, they don't know how many dynasties they have experienced, but they can still stand tall because of their name. The world is in turmoil, and if the new dynasty wants to win the hearts of the people, it must first correct its name. How long do you think they will use you? Even if the world is in chaos and the heroes are competing with each other, do you think that with your strength, you can become the overlord of the separatist side?"

This is somewhat contemptive, but it also tells the truth.

"Aren't you good at layout? It's hard to achieve it, and you can't help me get more benefits. ”

The man said, "What I have helped you get is the greatest benefit you can keep." Remember, greed does not become a sign of poverty. What's more, the plan is, to put it bluntly, a lie. Those who deceive people must follow the trend. Let the deceived person feel comfortable and believe in you. During the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao saw that the people of the world were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, so he deceived the princes of the world to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao wanted to seize the world, so he showed weakness and deceived Yuan Shao to take the initiative to commit and give up the good situation. And once the momentum is exhausted, even the god Kong Ming will not be able to return to the sky. My plan is not enough to count even the heavens. ”

"If you can make me believe you, are you also using tricks to deceive me? ”

The man: "I'm using my plan to help you take advantage of the situation." ”

Zhu Changle: "Okay, since you have said so, I will no longer embarrass you, so what should we do later?"

The man said: "The news of Gong Wenyu's seizure of the treasure has been sent out before you. But yours is in the light, and mine is in the dark. Those who are good at gathering intelligence think that they have received the news in advance, but they do not want the dark news to have spread out of the rivers and lakes at the same time. Those who have this strength and greed will naturally stop Gong Wenyu before he returns to the Chinese Academy of Studies. ”

Zhu Changle: "But in this way, it can cause a struggle among the major forces in the rivers and lakes?"

"More than a year ago, Wang Yangming was demoted, and the tripartite forces of protecting the king, saving the king, and punishing the king fought endlessly. Although there was no direct battle on the table, a lot of people died in private, resulting in a large number of small gangs in the rivers and lakes. Although it has calmed down a lot now, the heart of unwillingness, the heart of revenge, and the heart of fishing in troubled waters still exist. The reason why nothing has happened so far is because they are self-restraint and waiting for an opportunity. ”

Zhu Changle: "Do you think this incident we created is really an opportunity? ”

The man said, "You can not believe me, I can find other partners." ”

When the man said this, Zhu Changle was anxious: "Of course I believe you." Otherwise, how could he obey the words of an outsider. I'm just afraid that the impact of this will not be so great. ”

"Rest assured, the opportunities you create are needed by many people and they will help you. ”

Zhu Changle: "I have one last question. ”

The man seemed to have guessed a long time ago, smiled slightly, and said, "Say ......"

"Do the three places you mentioned really exist?"

Man: "Of course. But it has nothing to do with you, your presence has no effect on them, and his presence completely ignores your reactions. ”
