After accepting the order, the director of the West Factory left with a face full of shame.
The young woman took the initiative to step forward, bowed to Yang Dongzuo and said:
"Thank you Mr. Yang for your help, otherwise today I'm afraid..."
"Hey, we're all our own people, so there's no need to be so polite."
Yang Dong waved his hand and suddenly realized something was wrong. He subconsciously looked at the old Taoist priest's previous position.
But at this moment, the old Taoist priest was no longer there.
"Old man, after taking money from me, you still want to run away? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
As he spoke, he made arrangements without thinking:
"You guys, please send this girl back to her home safely. If anything goes wrong, I will ask you!"
After hearing this, several secret agents from the West Factory immediately patted their chests and promised that they would send the young woman back to her home safely.
Even the officer who had just left not far away immediately returned and took the initiative to organize the escort of the young woman.
The young woman was so well protected in the middle that she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She never dreamed that she was just a prisoner's daughter, and He Dehe could receive such protection.
If only...if only I and Su Su could always be protected like this.
The young woman looked deeply at Yang Dong's back, wondering what she was thinking.
On the other side, Yang Dong could no longer care about this. All he could think about at the moment was to find the old Taoist priest as soon as possible at all costs.
No matter what, before leaving the capital, he had to solve the problem of Ji Siyu's fate, even if it was to suppress it temporarily.
Soon, he spotted the old Taoist priest among the crowd.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest was holding a roast chicken and feasting on it.
It was obvious that the money he paid for the roast chicken was exactly what he had given him just now.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong became even more angry. Old guy, you just take money and don't do anything, right?
In this case, don't blame me for being rude.
With this thought in mind, he stepped forward and grabbed the old Taoist priest by his collar.
"Old guy, you dare to cheat me out of my money. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
He said, grabbing the roast chicken with one hand and raising it to one side.
When the old Taoist priest saw this, his whole face turned green.
"Hey, hey, hey, you kid, calm down! There is a grudge between us, why are you touching my roasted chicken?"
Yang Dong snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"What about your roast chicken? Didn't you buy it with my money?"
"Old guy, I advise you to be more honest and obediently help me solve Princess Qingyang's troubles."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
When the old Taoist priest heard this, a flash of embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes.
"Little guy, I advise you to calm down! What evidence do you have to prove that Pindao bought this roast chicken with your money?"
"Besides, you said you gave Pindao money, do you have any evidence?"
When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.
This old Taoist priest is worthy of being an old martial artist. This wave of operations suddenly transformed his passivity into initiative.
However, for Yang Dong, the old Taoist priest's methods were still too immature.
After all, in the era he remembered, some people had taken porcelain to a whole new level.
On the other side, the old Taoist priest saw that Yang Dong was silent and thought that the other party had nothing to do.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he said reluctantly:
"Everyone, come here to comment. This kid not only falsely accused me of giving money to me, but also robbed me of my roast chicken. There is such a vicious person in this world!"
"Monks don't tell lies. I swear to the Buddha that I have never been greedy for a penny from you."
When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.
This old guy swore not to take Sanqing, but to take Buddha instead. You are a fucking Taoist priest, have you forgotten?
However, the people of Dazhou did not understand the difference between the two.
After hearing the old Taoist priest swear by the gods, they all turned their accusing eyes to Yang Dong.
"This young man looks luxuriously dressed. Could he be the young master of some family?"
"Hmph, these dandy children from powerful families dare to be so presumptuous. Alas, what kind of world is this now? Even monks are not willing to let it go."
"Hey, young man, there is a god in your head. Don't make things difficult for this Taoist man again."
Hearing the people around him speaking in favor of him, a cunning smile appeared on the old Taoist priest's face.
He looked at Yang Dong with a half-smile, lowered his voice and said:
"Boy, compared with the Taoist master, your Taoism is far behind!"
"Let Pindao go immediately, and this matter will be over. Pindao will not pursue it. If you insist on having your own way, don't blame Pindao for being rude!"
When Yang Dong heard this, he smiled coldly.
"Old guy, you don't really think you're invincible, do you?"
As he spoke, he suddenly squeezed his eyes hard. Within a moment, his eyes were filled with red blood.
Yang Dong took a deep breath, and then said in a choked tone:
"Fellow folks, you are truly unjust."
"I'm just an ordinary citizen, running a small business to supplement my family's income. A few years ago, my wife got a strange disease, and she has been in poor health. I hired many doctors, but there was no cure."
"Just when I was falling into despair, this old Taoist priest claimed that he could cure my wife."
"Dear blind daters, do you understand? When I fell into despair, someone suddenly told me that they could save my wife. This kind of glimmer of hope has already made me dizzy."
"Without any thought, I gave all my family property to this old Taoist priest, which was a full ten taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching all sighed.
"Alas, these swindlers are the most disgusting! A few years ago, I met a magician who defrauded my family of the money they spent on buying food, causing our family to starve for more than a month."
"Who says otherwise? Last time, a wandering doctor came to our village. He claimed to be able to cure all diseases, but the result was that after receiving the money, he disappeared."
Listening to the common people talking, the eyes towards the old Taoist priest became more and more unfriendly.
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
He knew that he had met a comparable opponent this time.
In fact, both he and Yang Dong have already broken the truth.
That is, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is actually difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
The simplest and most effective way to get people to side with you is to resonate with them.
In short, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. As long as you can resonate with the people, they will automatically come up with some reasonable explanations for you.
The old Taoist priest understands this truth, and Yang Dong naturally understands it too.
Moreover, Yang Dong, who had received the baptism of later generations, was even more proficient at playing this trick than the old Taoist priest.
