The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 33 Hidden Murder

Hearing Steward Zhou's "reporting is useless", Yang Lu put down the charcoal lightly, and asked in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Then tell me, why did you report the Haiya Sect's loophole behavior to the Wuliang Sword Sect? What about the actual effect?"

The answer to this question is obvious, and Steward Zhou answered without hesitation: "Jiang Hua'an just needs to say that these rules and regulations were drawn up by ordinary clerks, and if the responsibility is pushed to the dead ghost, he can easily get away with it."

Hearing this answer, Yang Lu sneered and said: "Yes, this is almost an inevitable result! The Haiya faction will definitely let mortal clerks come to replace the dead ghosts. If one is not enough, then two, and two are not enough, then three... It only needs to consume some merits to kill people and silence them, and the Wuliang Sword Sect will have nothing to say, and the Haiya Sect can afford this price."

On some issues, Yang Lu's views are almost identical to Zhu Ziming's.In the world of cultivation in Kyushu, mortal scumbags are just superficial, but in essence, they are the ones who do the dirty work for the practitioners!

Hearing this, Steward Zhou finally caught up with Yang Lu's train of thought: "You mean... Jiang Hua'an will choose a scapegoat from these three departments?"

Yang Lu snorted softly, and continued to explain: "The Wuliang Sword Sect is just short of manpower, not fools. No matter how perfunctory Jiang Hua'an does things, he can't just catch people from the street and take the blame. , even miss Qing Ning can't give face, but the essence is just to stand up for Jiang Hua'an. Since we outsiders can understand it, do you think the clerks of these three major departments can't understand it?"

Steward Zhou couldn't help but gasped: "Could it be that these mortal clerks dare to dig a hole for Jindan stage great monk Jiang Hua'an?"

Yang Lu focused his attention on the departmental regulations of the Ocean Trade Department again, and said slowly: "Of course they dare not. Doing so is undoubtedly asking for their own death, and it may cause disaster to the whole family! But as the saying goes, a dead friend never dies." Poor Dao, they may not dare to dig a hole for Jiang Huaan, but if it is a brother department, it is not necessarily the case. And as long as you want to get rid of the blame, you must start with the most important system and process of the Wuliang Sword Sect..."

Speaking of this, Yang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up!
He pointed to a sentence in the departmental charter of the Ocean Trade Department and said, "I found it, and finally let me find it! This is the trap arranged by the Ocean Trade Department for the General Affairs Department!"

Looking in the direction of Yang Lu's finger, Steward Zhou saw a line of small characters explaining the nature:
"In order to implement the requirements of the Wuliang Sword School [Rule of Law in Zhongzhou], the Ocean Trade Department will submit the application for handling important cases to the Arbitrator in a timely manner according to the situation of Haiya City [the annual key tasks of major chambers of commerce] in accordance with regulations."

These two bold brackets were deliberately drawn by Yang Lu with charcoal.

This paragraph of small characters is ordinary, hidden in a large section of redundant text, if Yang Lu hadn't marked it with a charcoal pen, others would not have noticed the abnormality in it.

Steward Zhou read it twice, and said a little puzzled, "This sentence only mentions the Arbitration Department, but not the General Affairs Department?"

"This is precisely the brilliance of the Ocean Trade Department!" Yang Lu swiped his finger again, pointing to a section of the department's charter of the General Affairs Department, and read softly: "The 26th responsibility of the General Affairs Department is that this department should promptly report to the city lord every year. The government will report on the [annual key tasks of major chambers of commerce] in Haiya City."

Putting these two sentences together, Steward Zhou was stunned.

Yang Lu also let out a long sigh of relief: "As you have seen, the Department of Ocean Trade has made it clear that in order to implement the requirements of the Wuliang Sword School to rule Zhongzhou by law, they are submitting to the arbitration committee according to the annual key tasks of the major chambers of commerce in Haiya City. Although the Department of Ocean Trade did not name the Department of General Affairs, you only need to look at the departmental regulations of the Department of General Affairs to know that the annual key tasks of the major chambers of commerce in Haiya City are formulated by the Department of General Affairs!"

After listening to Yang Lu's unraveling analysis, Steward Zhou suddenly realized: "So that's it! The General Affairs Department doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at all, so they definitely won't write the issue of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's arrears into the annual priority work. In this way , if this matter is investigated by the Wuliang Sword Sect, then the result of the investigation can only be the General Affairs Department's negligence, because that's what the departmental regulations handed over to the Wuliang Sword Sect say!"

Yang Lu picked up the two pages and shook them: "Jiang Hua'an wants to find someone to take the blame, but he can't hide it from the eyes of the person concerned. The department selected to take the blame will definitely not sit still, they will definitely find the blame from the system. way!"

"Obviously the three departments are jointly responsible for this matter, why did Jiang Hua'an choose the Ocean Trading Department to take the blame?"

Yang Lu replied without hesitation: "I just wanted to understand the reason. Although the three major departments have their own division of labor, the Ocean Trading Department is obviously the easiest to blame, because they give themselves the least defense. As I just said to that smiling tiger, lack of manpower is not a sufficient reason to throw the pot away, so they have to find other ways to forcibly throw the pot out, and the departmental regulations that have been submitted to the Wuliang Sword Sect for record are the most important of the Department of Ocean Trade. Powerful tool."

Steward Zhou suddenly realized: "The Department of Ocean Trade is unwilling to hand over our department's charter because they have dug a hole in this charter themselves! No wonder you have that expression on your face when you see that the other party is unwilling to hand over your charter." , you knew at that time that he was playing tricks in the department charter!"

"Using large-scale nonsense to cover up real political intentions is also a common technique in official document writing. It is very convenient whether it is used to deceive people or to promote work. It is just a small skill, which makes you laugh."

However, Steward Zhou said with a serious expression: "To be honest, if you are a cultivator, your future on the road of cultivating merit will be limitless!"

Butler Zhou's exclamation is definitely from the heart

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce sent people to the City Lord's Mansion to communicate and coordinate countless times. Almost all the good things were said, but no breakthrough was made.

As for Yang Lu, who just came here, he just went around the three competent departments of the City Lord's Mansion, and he mastered the decisive means to help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce turn against the wind.

Steward Zhou is not someone who has never seen the world.

But Yang Lu's method of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain is unheard of even by him.

He even suspected that when Yang Lu met the eldest lady at Qingning Shang, he might have already planned his own action strategy!

Hearing Steward Zhou's approval, Yang Lu smiled wryly and said, "I heard that the probability of detecting a spiritual root in the Immortal Ascension Conference is only one in a thousand. I'm afraid I will never almost step into the immortal path in my life..."

Steward Zhou was shocked: "You haven't participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference yet? How old are you this year?"

"I just turned 20 some time ago!" Yang Lu honestly reported the age of "Yang Lu in Haiya City".

Cultivators can participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference as early as 15 years old. Considering that the Ascension to Immortal Conference is held every five years, 20 years old is almost the age limit for people who have not participated in the Ascension to Immortal Conference.Looking at Yang Lu's capable manner, Zhou Steward thought that he was at least 25 years old this year, and he had properly participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference.

Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead!
Compared to this mere 20-year-old mortal, Zhou Steward felt that he had lived his whole life on a dog.

Seeing that Yang Lu was depressed, Steward Zhou shook his head and said, "As long as you haven't participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference, there is still hope, and I also look forward to people like you being able to detect the spiritual root, otherwise it would be a waste of your talent. "

Hearing Steward Zhou's compliments, Yang Lu scratched his head and said, "Aren't you worried that I'm here to harm Miss Qingning?"

Butler Zhou smiled and waved his hands and said: "Since you took the initiative to come out to advise the eldest lady, it must be to please the adult behind the eldest lady. But being able to recommend a talent like you, even if the other party intends to curry favor, this kind of favor, I will also write it down for the eldest lady first."
