"The Inspection Office is in charge of public security, but it is the first government office that every merchant needs to take care of. When doing business in Linzi City, if the business is to be done well, you have to look at Zheng Shi's face."
Beside the chessboard, Wen Lianmu talked eloquently: "The competition between Zhongxuanzun and Chongxuansheng is actually invincible. Regardless of his talent, strength and talent, he is the top in the world."
Wang Yiwu nodded in agreement: "That's true."
Wen Lianmu glanced at him with an incomprehensible expression, but he did not express any opinion on this, but continued his words: "His weakness lies outside him, not within himself. I believe Zhongxuan Sheng also saw this.
, he was sent to Jixia Academy so that he could concentrate on dealing with the forces outside him."
He added: "I have to say that Chong Xuan Sheng played this move very beautifully. He is a chess player who deserves all the attention. Before this, I completely underestimated him."
Wang Yiwu didn't say anything. Of course he didn't want to admit that he underestimated Zhong Xuansheng, but a person like him couldn't deceive himself or others.
"Things outside the body are nothing more than connections, resources, and interests. Zhongxuansheng is now more and more able to embezzle Zhongxuanzun's original business. The Jubao Chamber of Commerce has fattened him up, and the Four Seas Business Alliance has given him a considerable degree of support.
And now Su She is licking her wounds with her tail between her legs without showing her head at all. The Jubao Chamber of Commerce’s silence has made the situation even more embarrassing, and Zhong Xuanzun’s business has been shrinking again and again. Faced with these things that cannot be solved by force, you will inevitably be powerless. "
Wen Lianmu emphasized his own importance intentionally or unintentionally, and sprinkled some salt on Zhongxuanzun's wounds, which was a small retaliation: "To be honest, if Zhongxuanzun himself is not here, you can't directly use Zhenguo now.
The relationship with the Generalissimo's Mansion helps him... Nowadays, in the commercial field alone, it is difficult for us to compete with Zhongxuan Sheng, who has the support of the Four Seas Business Alliance. It is not that there is no way, but it will definitely be half the result with half the effort, and the gain will not be worth the loss. This is not something that a wise man would do. We must
To break the situation, you have to look far and let go.”
Wang Yiwu straightened his back and sat as straight as a javelin: "So you saw the captain of Beiya."
His voice was very steady: "But Captain Beiya is very upright."
"If you want to manage public security in a place like Linzi where there are many dragons and snakes everywhere, there are only two ways to go about it. Either you have to be superb and tactful, and no one will be offended in everything. Or you can be selfless and no one will lose face.
Don’t give it. That’s what you said, holding yourself upright.”
Wen Lianmu smiled: "No matter who Zheng Shi is in essence, since he shows the latter, he will never favor us, especially not get involved in the internal competition of the Chongxuan family.
People can be used as leverage. So I can only play a risky move and force him into the game."
In fact, it was Wang Yiwu's own weakness in management that forced Wen Lianmu to look for solutions in sideways.
Wang Yiwu paused for a moment and then said: "You only care about the present, and don't care about the floods in the future."
Wen Lianmu reached out and grabbed a handful of white chess pieces in the chess jar, and then watched them fall one by one from his fingers: "If you want to regain the situation in a short time, Zheng Shi is the best chess piece. As for the future,
...When Chongxuan Zunsun comes out of Jixia Academy, are you afraid of this one, or is Chongxuan Zunzun afraid?"
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and it was only then that his unique arrogance and edge were revealed.
"I believe you." Wang Yiwu said.
"Then I'm honored." Wen Lianmu deliberately replied in a hypocritical tone, and then said: "Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. I have multiple plans for this layout. Zheng Shangming is following Jiang Wang, I think
A way to expose him. The best situation is of course that Jiang Wang kills Zheng Shangming, or Zheng Shangming kills Jiang Wang. If it is the former, the conflict between Zheng Shi and Chong Xuansheng cannot be resolved. If it is the latter, I
I don’t know where the friendship between Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng is, but at least in terms of current value, they are the right-hand man, and there is no way that Chong Xuan Sheng will suffer such a big loss."
"What's the worst case scenario?"
"The worst situation is that Zheng Shangming finds out that he is being plotted, and then follows the clues to find me, but next to me..." Wen Lianmu grabbed the few chess pieces in his hand, raised a finger and pointed at Wang Yiwu: "Stand
you."
"Then?"
"I have carefully thought about Zheng Shangming. Zheng Shangming is a typical young man who does not want to rely on family connections and desperately wants to prove himself. A large part of the reason for this is that Zheng Shi has been strict with him since he was a child. Another part of the reason is that
His own character.”
Wen Lianmu continued his analysis: "He is able to endure hardships and endure hardships, and can endure ridicule and humiliation. But this is not because he has the quality of patience. On the contrary, he is the most intolerant and the person who can least restrain his impulse to resist. The reason why he is
The reason he was able to endure those in Zhan Yu's army was because he knew in his heart that those people and things were not worth mentioning and treated them like ants, so he didn't feel hard or humiliated."
"He is determined not to rely on Zheng Shi, but Zheng Shi is his greatest confidence. He lives a very awkward and contradictory life. He is the son of a powerful man, but he despises the powerful. He seems to be dismissive of his father's power, but in fact he most approves of it in his heart.
His father's authority. It seems that he never dared to confront Zheng Shi, but everything he did was to resist himself."
"There is a volcano hidden in his heart. Once it is touched..." Wen Lianmu said, opening his hand completely, all the white stones fell down instantly.
"Boom!" he said onomatopoeically.
"So are you sure that he will go to the Marshal's Mansion at all costs?" Wang Yiwu asked.
"He can endure those people in the military camp dictating and bullying him, but he can never tolerate you. Because you can really bully him and really oppress him."
"What if you miscalculated?"
"I can't be wrong."
Wen Lianmu's confidence made Wang Yiwu nodded: "Very good."
"When he breaks into the Generalissimo's Mansion in a rage, life or death will not be up to him, and Zheng Shi will have to help us. This is just the second-best choice. Because Jiang Wang was not reckless, we are left with the second-best choice.
"
The child has fallen, and Wen Lianmu doesn't care much about it.
"Speaking of which," he said meaningfully, "you have never wanted to think about these things before."
Wang Yiwu followed the path of bravery, diligence, and invincibility. He could defeat all conspiracies and evil spirits with one punch. He had never even bothered to learn the art of war.
Wang Yiwu did not answer directly, but said: "I am still suitable to stay in the army. I feel very uncomfortable in Linzi City."
"Oh, it's better to say..." Wen Lianmu stopped here.
Because at this moment, an angry voice rolled through the sky and resounded through the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Of course, it also reached the ears of Wang Yiwu and Wen Lianmu.
"Wang Yiwu, what kind of person is he who hides his head and shows his tail? Get out of here!"
Zheng Shangming's voice.
As expected!
He really considered his choice to death.
It was different from the shock, anger and confusion of others in the Marshal's Mansion.
Wen Lianmu and Wang Yiwu looked at each other.
"How does it feel to study other people all day long?" Wang Yiwu asked.
Wen Lianmu smiled: "It's endless fun!"
…
…
ps: I kind of want to complain.
Writing about classical fairy tales must have an ancient rhyme, and the writing will inevitably have an ancient style. Some people complained, why are you pretending to be x, and the writing is incomprehensible. I am not angry at all, I just thought that I should consider this part of the readers.
When writing, you can’t just think about your own pleasure. After all, many readers have slowly grown up in this novel world with me. Small details can still satisfy readers. I will try to explain them without affecting the writing as much as possible...
…Then someone criticized me for being arrogant, saying, “Who are you looking down on? Why don’t you write an ancient Chinese sentence and translate it?”
