In the past, Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye would have thought that Shen Hao, a junior, was "difficult to deal with", but now he has an obvious "defense", which seems to be revealed under the other's bright smile. It's "cruel" and "insidious" that make people shudder.
The sect knows its own affairs best, so when Shen Hao just suggested that the sect take matters into its own hands to deal with those low-level sects that took advantage of the Jing Jiu Dynasty, the first thing Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye thought of was not "reasonable". Instead, he sensed “bad intentions.”
Unlike the unified dynasty like the Jingjiu Dynasty, the special situation of the sect itself made them have a structure that was tight on the outside and loose on the inside to a certain extent.
Externally, the sect can be very united and form a force in the same direction. This is the main reason why the sect can achieve a balance with the Jingjiu Dynasty.
Internally, the sects are competing with each other and even at odds with each other.
First-rate, second-rate, third-rate, and inferior sects, as well as the only two super sects, are the class divisions within the sect. They are clear and clear, and each has its own boundaries. If you want to be promoted, there will be replacement and bloodshed due to the fixed resources. .
Even as super sects, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect can only command the sect externally in name, but they do not have any confidence to control internally. This is an act that breaks the boundaries between sects. It will definitely receive fierce backlash from all sects, and may even quickly disintegrate the structure that the entire sect has maintained for thousands of years.
Therefore, based on these reasons, Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye did not feel that Shen Hao was thinking about them at all. On the contrary, this was a malicious suggestion.
"Master Shen, although the sects are loose, they can also be twisted into a rope. Does the Jingjiu Dynasty really want to make things so rigid? What's more, the laws of the Jingjiu Dynasty are aimed at the people under the Jingjiu Dynasty. Although the ancestral home of the disciples of the sect is in the Jingjiu Dynasty, they have become part of the sect after joining the family. How can they handle the sect's affairs according to the law?
Is this considered an infringement and contempt for the sect?
Is this the "respect" Master Shen just mentioned for the sect? "
After being silenced at first, and now being provoked by Shen Hao with ill intentions, Xiang Liu finally turned a corner. He caught the loophole in Shen Hao's words and started to ask questions.
Aren't you talking about the law? That's the law of your Jingji Dynasty, and it has little to do with the sect. Don't even think about using it to slap the sect on the head.
Seeing that the other party avoided talking and started to refute on an ambiguous point, Shen Hao was not surprised and did not get confused. This is just a test, can you still pull out the flowers?
However, it is impossible for Shen Hao to simply give in. What he hopes is to throw away some of the sect's problems. Fenghong Villa cannot deal with them all, otherwise the sect can cause a quarrel over the smallest issue in the future, regardless of whether it is justified or not. , wouldn’t it mean that it’s back to the way it used to be, tossing and tearing the skin off?
If one suggestion is ignored by the other party, then change it to another one. Shen Hao doesn't need to use his brain at all for this kind of thing, he just opens his mouth.
"Two elders, the law is for all the rulers in this land. The disciples of the sect are originally the people of the Jingjiu Dynasty, why can't they use the laws of the Jingjiu Dynasty? It just involves some blank areas of the sect. That’s all.
There is actually no point in arguing like this. Shen is also working on errands on the royal diet, with a knife hanging over his head. How dare he arbitrarily influence disputes over the interests of the country and the dynasty? Therefore, between the two elders, it was not Shen who could really solve the problem, but the sect.
If the sect could exercise effective self-discipline, how could Heguo Chao have so many troubles if he did not interfere with the river? "
After a pause, seeing Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye's expressions becoming increasingly ugly, Shen Hao smiled and continued: "Of course, if it is inconvenient for the sect to take action directly, there can be another method, which should be able to handle the current situation well. What both of us think.
I wonder if the two elders would like to hear it? "
Zhong Hongye waved his hand impatiently and said, "Say it!"
Pulling back and forth is not what Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu want to see. They also see that it is impossible to get Jing Jiuchao to make concessions on the sect's response strategy and return to the way it was before. Then we must find a new situation that is acceptable to both parties.
Of course, from the perspective of Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu, Shen Hao must have been prepared for taking the lead in this way, and they would not believe that Shen Hao actually didn't think much about it beforehand, and now it was just a temporary idea. The purpose is just to save yourself from trouble in the future.
Just listen to what Shen Hao said: "There are always sneaky people, but the sect thinks that the punishment is too strong, but the country cannot let these scum remain intact. If there is a buffer in the middle of this contradiction, it should be able to be eliminated. Most of the disagreements.
For example, the person responsible for punishment is our Golden Sword Guard from Fenghong Villa. However, the sect can send personnel to work with us to conduct preliminary investigations and provide some opinions on the final punishment. We can also communicate with the offending sect in advance so that there will be no resentment in the end.
Of course, this is just the opinion of Shen's family, and many of the details involved need to be worked out carefully. If the two elders think it's not possible, just pretend that Shen didn't say anything. "
Hearing this, Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu's eyes narrowed subconsciously. They were silent for a while before they said, "Master Shen, this idea is quite strange. Can you explain it in more detail?"
Tsk tsk, listen, the tone has changed. Shen Hao also felt confident.
Shen Hao had carefully understood the situation in the sect during this period. He knew the status of the two super sects within the sect. It was true that they were famous, but they definitely did not have much actual rights. It is more about speaking out for the sect out of the status of "leader" rather than real and controllable interests.
What Shen Hao has to do now is to forcefully create a piece of profit and send it to the hands of these two super sects. It depends on whether the other party wants it or not.
Now it seems that the other party has reacted. There was still strong dissatisfaction in his words, but now the conversation has changed but it is not so obvious anymore.
"Just a thought, let's take the recent incident as an example. Several sects concealed their mineral output and intercepted the wealthy individuals. According to the rules, in this case, they have to return the money and another penalty will be imposed. The penalty will be twenty times to three times the intercepted amount. Ten times. If the sect has an intermediary involved, the amount of forfeiture can be adjusted..."
Twenty times and thirty times, there is a full ten times difference in between. The articles here are not small. It is also a "profit" created by Shen Hao. It depends on whether these two super sects will accept it.
This set of tricks is not uncommon in another world, it's just a sneaky change of concept.
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of emotion in each other's eyes.
"Master Shen, this matter is of great importance. Let us report it to the sect first..."
