Chapter 6: Joining Forces to Unmask the Wicked (24)
"Do you know the recent battle between the Yashan faction and the Yuanshan faction? Do you know why the two factions are fighting? Do you know what level they have reached?" Murong Yun knew that Liu Baiye was very clear about this, but he still asked deliberately, wanting to introduce the main topic from this.
"Of course I know, I don't even know this kind of thing, can the old man still call it 'everything is clear'? Yashan sent Lu Zhongkun to attack the two of you inns, both sides died, and the fighting posture was opened, this is what many people know, the old man told you this, because this is already worthless news, the old man does not charge you, but, unlike what you imagined, there is a reason behind it. Liu Baiye said, meaning that if you want to know the following content, you must pay silver.
"The juniors also have some news to tell you, and there is no charge, the whole incident was actually planned by Shen Deyi, and it was a 'discord plan', but do you know the specific content and implementation status of Shen Deyi's 'discord plan'?" Murong Yun asked.
"Yes, Murong Daxia is really well-informed, but you can't know the specific situation so quickly, don't tease the old man. Liu Baiye said.
"The junior does know, this is what the junior learned when he personally investigated two days ago, the junior knows the whole incident at a glance, today, the junior is more 'know-how' than you, the 'know-it-all', haha!" Murong Yun deliberately lost his appetite.
"Yes, if so, please speak quickly!" the old man listened. Liu Baiye was very interested, he knew that this was news of high value.
"Senior Liu, we haven't negotiated the price yet, can the junior tell you? This is big news related to the major affairs of the rivers and lakes, and it is priceless. Let's talk about the price first!" Murong Yun said.
Liu Baiye thought: "It's strange, I've always been selling news and asking for a lot of money from others, how did it become that Murong is asking me for a big price, it seems that the old man is a little outdated, but this is big news, if it's true, you can sell this news to many big people in the martial arts and officialdom." It can be exchanged for a very considerable amount of silver. Or do you want to hear him, how do you buy it?"
"Murong Daxia, if what you say is really big news, how much silver do you want to sell? You're not in this business. and a little money. Don't ruin the old man's business. Liu Baiye said.
"The big news I just learned involves a large scope, and it is related to the overall situation of the rise and fall of the entire rivers and lakes, although the younger generation is a layman. But the younger generation knows that you are an expert, and you can sell a lot of silver with this news, of course, you are an elder, and the younger generation can't charge you too much, so take out five hundred taels of silver, which should have been at least eight hundred taels, but the younger generation has broken into your business for the first time, and it should always be cheaper to trade with you, and you should always be respected. Murong Yun said.
"You young man, you also say that you respect your predecessors, so the lion opens his mouth, he is cheating the old man, you must know, you are getting an axe in the class gate, you dare to shout the price indiscriminately, you have the ability to find the old man here, you are also a powerful person, just make a friend of yours, the old man will give you fifty taels!" Liu Baiye is very good at bargaining.
"No, senior, you are too much of a bully, you will give fifty taels for such important news, do you think the junior is here to ask for food? It is better for you to give the junior this set of clothes to beg, maybe you can get more. In this way, the junior will give in one more step, four hundred taels, and the junior will tell part of the news first, if you think it is not worth it, the junior will sell it to the people of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, don't regret it!" Murong Yun grasped the key point of Liu Baiye, what Liu Baiye was most afraid of was to bypass him and go directly to trade with the heads of various factions.
"Murong Daxia, you are young and vigorous, your heart is too anxious, the old man advises you not to be so anxious, you talk about it first, let's discuss it later, if it is valuable, the old man will not only give you fifty taels, say it!" Liu Baiye compromised a little.
In fact, Murong Yun didn't want to get more money, he knew that the higher the price he shouted, the more energetic Liu Baiye would sell the news, and the wider the spread of the news, he was stimulating Liu Baiye and making him feel that this news was very important.
Murong Yun continued: "The contradiction between the Yashan faction and the Yuanshan faction was provoked by the people of the Police Division using the 'Discord Scheme', Lu Zhongkun was deceived by Huang Shengjie, the deputy commander of the Police Division, and attacked the two inns of the Yuanshan Sect in anger, and Huang Shengjie and his subordinates pretended to be me and Ling Fenglei to make trouble with the 'Good Luck Wine Shop', which is the beginning of the whole incident, you also know these roughly, but it is more complicated later...... , the news is more valuable, you don't know, Mr. Liu, what's the matter?
"Murong Daxia, the old man believes that you have valuable new news, but you also know that it is very risky to spread such news, the matter involves the police department, Shen Deyi is not easy to mess with, if the old man buys your news, if it is known by Shen Deyi after it spreads, the old man will be in danger of his life, whether he should trade with you, the old man is still thinking about it. Liu Baiye said.
"Mr. Liu, the creed that you 'nothing more faction' has always adhered to is 'don't ask right or wrong', so you don't have to care about who the news involves, if you don't do it, can you be worthy of your previous heads? Murong Yun knew that Liu Baiye would not let go of particularly important news when he encountered it, and he would definitely buy it, so Murong Yun told him the principle of "nothing more than a faction", and expressed his sincerity by reducing the price, which made Liu Baiye want to do it even more.
"Murong Daxia, the old man knows, you are a good offspring, what you say is also sincere, and you know a lot about our faction, but I have a request, you must not disobey, otherwise, it is to break the rules of the industry, if you sell this news to the old man, you can no longer trade with anyone, and you can no longer sue anyone, including Jia Tianming, the head of your Yuanshan faction, otherwise, there is another way to spread the same news, the old man can neither do business, but also difficult to take responsibility, if there are multiple ways to spread the news, at that time, the people affected by the news will come to the old man to settle accounts, the old man can't afford it, if you can abide by it'Don't spread the rule again', the old man will trade with you, but the price has to be lowered a little more, the old man will give you two hundred taels, since you respect the old man as a senior, this time you will listen to me, okay?" Liu Baiye demanded.
Murong Yun thought for a while and said: "Such an important news is only sold for two hundred taels, which is too cheap, but since Senior Liu said this, if the junior does not agree, it is disrespectful to the elders, and when it is passed out, I think Murong does not understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, okay, when I meet you, the junior will obey, just do what you say, until now, the junior has not told anyone except you the news, and it will not be in the future, you can rest assured." ”
Murong Yun and Liu Baiye negotiated the price, and Murong Yun told Shen Deyi and Huang Shengjie how to plan the "discord plan", how Huang Shengjie implemented it, how Lu Zhongkun attacked the two inns, how the Yashan faction and the Yuanshan faction fought, how to kill people, and how Huang Shengjie went to Bauhinia Mountain to kidnap the child and send it to the "Xingfang Pavilion" and so on, they all carefully told Liu Baiye, that is to say, Murong Yun told Liu Baiye what he heard when he interrogated Sheng Ning, and what Huang Shengjie heard when Xiao Beiyou heard, of course, Murong Yun did not say the names of Sheng Ning and Xiao Beiyou, but only emphasized that what he said was personally heard, and it was a 100% fact.
Liu Baiye listened, very excited, he knows the great value of this heavy news, he can take the opportunity to make a lot of money this time, at the same time, once this news spreads, it will set off a big wave in the rivers and lakes, as the head of the "Wu Nothing Faction", he wants to do this thing, will leave a clear mark in the martial arts, he is worthy of the "Nothing Nothing More" of the past generations.
Murong Yun thought: "Actually, I don't care how much money I can make, but I just care about the wide spread of this news, and negotiating with Liu Baiye is just to inspire him to actively spread it, it seems that I am still right to find Liu Baiye to spread this news, he is the 'news king', he is the boss of this industry, and he will spread this news, the effect must be the best, this time, Shen Deyi and Huang Shengjie should be enough, Brother Xiao and I will wait to see the excitement!"
Liu Baiye happily gave the silver to Murong Yun and said to Murong Yun: "Murong Daxia, remember the promise you made just now, so, when you go out of this door, there are two things that you must keep completely secret: first, the news you said just now must be forgotten after you go out, and it cannot be spread again;
"Senior Liu, don't worry, Murong knows the rules, you can rest assured that you can make a lot of money! Murong Yun thought: "Liu Baiye is indeed very careful, this is also a necessary trick for him to save his life, of course I have to keep it secret for him." "Actually, this time it is not easy for Murong Yun to find Liu Baiye, he is through several sources of the Yuanshan faction in the capital to inquire about him, after learning that he often haunts a broken temple in the southern suburbs, Murong Yun went to the vicinity of the broken temple for a long time, only to find a strange beggar into the broken temple, he followed behind, and when he saw him disappear from the broken temple, he guessed that he was Liu Baiye, so Murong Yun followed up, and when he saw him sitting inside, he asked him falsely, and he really acquiesced.
This time, Murong Yun was able to find Liu Baiye smoothly, which was very important for him to implement the plan to deal with the police division, which was an important step in the plan he discussed with Xiao Beiyou, Xiao Beiyou built a plan to him to deal with the gang of police officers, and he had to find all kinds of people with great skills in the rivers and lakes to cooperate with him in order to have a chance of winning, and in terms of spreading news, Liu Baiye was nicknamed "everything is clear", which is undoubtedly the most suitable for spreading big news, Murong Yun was secretly happy, and Brother Xiao was very knowledgeable. (To be continued......)
PS: The competition of martial arts, the contest of various factions on the rivers and lakes, is inseparable from the intelligence war, therefore, news, intelligence naturally has important value, some people also use the news to obtain silver, but the risk is also very large, "nothing more than the faction" to buy and sell news as a business, is the "news king", this is also a very story, "Jianghu Fangyuan" will continue to tell this story in the future.
