Chapter 89 Responses from all parties
Wan'an City County Government.
Mei Sheng fell into thinking after listening to the report of the head catcher Liu Xing.
He did not expect that the people of the White Lotus Sect would conflict with the Ma family, but it seemed that it would be very beneficial to him?
Anyway, no matter which party it is, it is not a good thing for him. If the two parties bite each other, isn't that a good thing?
Gongsun Jing had previously wanted to take the initiative to lead the two parties to fight, but he was afraid of an accident, so he vetoed it. Now God is helping him.
After thinking for a while, Mei Sheng said: "I already know about this matter. I will notify you and have people draw portraits of these gangsters and post them everywhere to arrest them."
"Yes, sir."
Although Liu Xing didn't want to do this, he still agreed.
Because this was originally his duty, and there was Mei Sheng's order, even if he didn't like the Ma family, he couldn't refute it.
After a pause, Mei Sheng continued: "The people of the Ma family have been arrogant and domineering for more than a day or two. It is normal for such things to happen, but it is a pity that a bad atmosphere has emerged in the city."
"Huh? What do you mean, sir?"
Liu Xing listened to Mei Sheng's words, blinked his eyes, and thought about it carefully.
Mei Sheng glanced at him and said calmly: "Just do whatever you have to do."
After finishing speaking, Mei Sheng waved his hand, allowing Liu Xing to retreat.
"Just do what you have to do?"
If it was really a normal process, Mei Sheng would not have emphasized this sentence specially.
After Liu Xing thought about it for a while, he suddenly realized it.
"This is about what to do on the surface, or what to do, but don't worry too much about this matter in private."
"Why do you, sir, do this? Are the Ma family arrogant and domineering? That's right. No one wants to have several emperors sitting on their heads. That's it."
Liu Xing thought of the key point and was quite excited.
He had never dealt with the Ma family in the first place, so this time he was able to work openly and without any effort. For him, that was a good thing.
After Liu Xing went out, Mei Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
After a while, he looked at Gongsun Jing who remained silent.
"Why do you think all the people from the White Lotus Sect fled out of the city instead of letting us help them?"
"Of course they are afraid of danger. According to the news just returned from the spies, Shi Xingjie is a cautious person. If he completely relies on us, he will definitely be afraid that we will take the opportunity to kill them. Even if they have evidence in their hands, they will not have any.
What’s the use?”
Gongsun Jing sighed, "It's just a pity that with such a good opportunity, we still haven't found out where the evidence is. Otherwise, we could have solved this problem once and for all."
Although he couldn't stand the Ma family and the Dong family, in comparison, the White Lotus sect, which had the evidence that would allow them to kill everyone in their family, was even more hateful.
The White Lotus Sect itself is a rebellious cult, and they are not taboo about this.
But Gongsun Jing and the others were members of the officialdom, and their families had been officials for generations. If this matter were to be revealed, it would be a big deal.
In comparison, the Ma family and the Dong family can be regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope as them.
Mei Sheng nodded in agreement.
"But this is also an opportunity. The people of the White Lotus Sect will definitely not be willing to leave here, not to mention that they still have a handle on us."
"If the two sides fight, the White Lotus Sect may not be strong enough, so we can provide help to the White Lotus Sect, and the Ma family will be more perfunctory and let both sides consume it. It is best to die together. For us, it is the only one
A good thing."
A chill flashed through Mei Sheng's eyes. No one wanted to feel like he was being constrained at every turn, let alone someone like him who had a great future and would be promoted soon if he did things right.
"You still have to be careful, lest the people of the White Lotus Sect jump over the wall."
Gongsun Jing reminded him.
In their minds, the people of the White Lotus Sect are all a group of lunatics, and it is obviously not worthwhile to trade their lives for these lunatics.
"Now we're just waiting for people from the White Lotus Sect to contact us."
…
Xu Rong threw a young man in front of Shi Xingjie, and looked at the young man lying weakly on the ground, trembling, with an inexplicable flash in his eyes.
Shi Xingjie frowned slightly, said nothing, and just looked at Xu Rong.
Apparently he was waiting for Xu Rong to give him an explanation.
"This kid just wanted to escape, and there is a letter with him."
Xu Rong gave the letter to Shi Xingjie and sat down beside him.
They are now in a village, which is also a small stronghold of the White Lotus Sect. From the outside, it cannot be seen that it is any different from an ordinary village.
It can be concluded from this that many things in the White Lotus Sect are in the hands of senior officials such as Shi Xingjie.
With Xu Rong's current situation, it would probably take a lot of time to learn these secret messages.
But for Xu Rong, it is enough to complete the task, and everything else is just minutiae.
After Shi Xingjie read the letter, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "I didn't expect that the Dong family would have noticed us a long time ago. Let's deal with this kid!"
Thinking of those people who had escaped before, Shi Xingjie frowned.
I didn't realize it before, but now it seems that the people recruited before this branch are not trustworthy.
"Who recruited these people? Why are they all..."
Shi Xingjie was about to lose his temper, but he thought that in order to prevent Xu Rong from expanding his influence, he had personally sent people to recruit him.
"Next, let's do a thorough investigation to see how many spies there are."
Xu Rong nodded, this was a good thing for him.
With this errand, he can leave the village openly.
However, there is no need to rush this matter. You have to give Tie Ying more time to prepare properly before you can catch them all in one fell swoop.
Now he can do his duty and catch all these "spies".
The more people he catches, the more he can prove his "loyalty".
"Don't worry, helmsman, I will lead trustworthy people to set up sentries throughout the village these days, and I will never let a single spy escape."
Shi Xingjie looked at Xu Rong and was quite pleased: "I can rest assured that you are doing the work."
He didn't expect that after all the hard work, Xu Rong was the only one who could do things neatly under his hands.
Others, such as Wang Mugen, are always less decisive, and they always come to him for advice, which annoys him to death.
As everyone knows, this is Shi Xingjie's daily influence. He wants to seize all the power in his hands, and his desire for control is very strong. Naturally, he makes Wang Mugen and others report everything, for fear of making him unhappy.
On the contrary, he allowed me not to worry about these things and could do things according to my own ideas.
Shi Xingjie rejected Xu Rong before because he also felt that it was difficult for him to control Xu Rong.
It can only be said that at different times, we look at things from different angles.
