"Gang leader Chen, no, leader..." The expressions of the Yi brothers froze at the same time. Yi Kehe had already changed his name to Chen Fengping: "This doesn't comply with the rules of the world..."
The three fingers of Chen Fengping's left hand held a potato that had been harvested from the small charcoal stove placed by the Yi brothers at his feet. He bit off a third of it in one bite, leaving a row of neat tooth marks. When he swallowed it slowly, After receiving the food, he slowly spoke: "Brother Yi, Chen has a question for you to ask - what are the rules of the world?"
People always have misunderstandings, and one of them is that everyone subconsciously "sets the negotiation in a relatively formal occasion, and both parties must be fully mentally prepared before they can start."
Any one of the Yi brothers is more than ten years older than Chen Fengping. In terms of experience, they are definitely not inferior, but Chen Fengping's wake-up call has taught the two elders a solid lesson.
Negotiation is like fighting. By the time you finish arranging your troops, it is very likely that the Chinese army's tent will be set on fire. Chen Fengping doesn't need to resort to banquets and tea parties, even if he just sits down and chews a potato, he has to get the serious business out.
"A grievance must be repaid, a debt must be owed, a murder must be repaid with a life, and a debt must be repaid with money - these are the rules of the world." Chen Fengping's attack came suddenly, but Yi Kehe would never be stunned by a single sentence and answered calmly. He said: "We will arrest the initiator, and we will not let go of the accomplices - but we will not let any innocent person be wronged for this matter."
Listening to Gang Leader Yi's reasoning, Chen Fengping unconsciously raised his jaw and looked up at the eaves with a pair of sharp eyes: "Yes... not to let any innocent person be wronged. This is a very reasonable and high-sounding reason."
"But it's been two months now, and you still haven't been able to give me even one person involved in this matter." Chen Fengping said expressionlessly: "From my personal point of view, I need to protect The harmony of the nine major sects, maintaining the face of the Sihai Clan and the Beggar Clan, and maintaining the order in the entire martial arts world - but this matter is not something that I alone can have the final say on."
"From a small perspective, the whereabouts of Xu Lingquan's son are still unknown. He wants to be seen alive and dead. I want to ask for an explanation from the people of the Sihai Gang; but from a serious perspective, who knows who is plotting all kinds of things? Are you colluding with evil? Are you plotting a bigger plan secretly?"
"Since he can reach out to the Sihai Gang and the Beggar Gang, does he just want the situation in front of him and just the lives of one or two people? I think there is no reason for us not to make more bold speculations."
Chen Fengping said so many words in one breath, and the Yi family brothers listened and felt very embarrassed in their hearts - their analysis was not far from Chen Fengping's words, but every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. What's more, the relationship between the Sihai Clan and the Beggar Clan is a bit delicate, and it is impossible for the Yi brothers to tell Chen Fengping everything.
"Mr. Chen's words make sense, but please allow me to remind you..." Yi Kehe lightly dusted the hem of his clothes and dusted away the fly ash floating out of the charcoal stove: "The person who stirred up the trouble in the first place was not We are a gang of beggars.”
"Are you talking about the matter about Deputy Gang Leader Jing?" Chen Fengping pondered for a while, and then laughed: "As far as I know, this matter has been resolved - when Deputy Gang Leader Jing came to investigate, I personally received them, and in the end it was our Sihai Gang who helped you find those Jiang bandits..."
"Is it possible that... Brother Yi still has doubts about this result?" Chen Fengping glanced at Yi Kehe, and suddenly smiled: "Is it possible that you suspect that our Sihai Gang directed and acted in this play?"
Yi Kehe snorted coldly: "It's not impossible, right?"
"Of course there is." Chen Fengping's answer was forceful: "But this possibility is based on two results - either I personally instructed my subordinates to do this, or this person even concealed it from me."
Chen Fengping played his card clearly on the card table without any concealment, and the implication was "I'm not afraid that you will doubt me." Although the Yi brothers had already expected Chen Fengping's behavior, but it really happened. In this situation, I still can't help but murmur in my heart.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Kehe said with a smile: "Gang Leader Chen, I have no intention of doubting you... Don't get too excited - but just like you said, there are people with evil intentions in our Beggar Gang. There may not be anyone in the gang, right?"
"There is someone in the Beggar Clan who is secretly causing trouble. We brothers will definitely investigate to the end, but the Sihai Clan... you also have to give us answers - at least there must be someone worthy of suspicion, right?"
"Yes, of course there is, but you never asked, right?" Chen Fengping answered, "Wang Juxi."
This is a dangerous and extremely cruel move. From Chen Fengping's perspective, he played his two biggest cards on the table in succession. If this was a fight on the gambling table, cards, then even Shen Fang would not dare to show such a hand - every card and every hand of cards has a different value, and what do these two cards shoulder? It is the future of the entire Sihai Gang!
Who has the courage to fight like this?
"Wang Juxi?" Yi Kexi didn't even react. In his impression, Wang Juxi had always been a calculating businessman, and he didn't seem to have much to do with everything that happened. And Yi Kehe was worthy of being a gang leader, so he immediately asked: "Why does Gang Leader Chen doubt him?"
He was afraid that Chen Fengping had long been dissatisfied with this person and wanted to push Wang Juxi to the front and use the help of the Beggar Gang to find a reasonable excuse to kill him.
"Wang Juxi went to Luzhou some time ago for official business, and then a leader of our Sihai Gang died there. Huo Yunzhen took over the investigation - the two eldest brothers should know about this, right?" Although Chen Fengping was not sure about Yi Whether my brother knows the ins and outs of this matter, but fortunately he has a witness, so he doesn't care very much: "The little brother who accompanied me was present at the time... Xiaotie! Come over and tell the two seniors of the Beggar Clan. What happened at that time!"
The third bright card...
If Chen Fengping's behavior must be regarded as playing mahjong, then he has now demolished his kong tiles in front of the Yi brothers - Chen Fengping is undoubtedly a person who "knows how to play cards", and he will not be without purpose. So what exactly is he going to do?
"Yi Kehe, Yi Kexi, you two, please don't live up to my 'painstaking efforts'..."
…………
Speaking of being caught off guard, there was also a guy in Lining County who experienced a rash visit.
"Brother He Nan, now is the time for you to repay me as a brother." Guan Lingxiao sat upright in front of the small round table, folded his arms and looked at the abnormal boy.
He Nan was wearing only a single piece of clothing on his upper body, and he was still holding half a cucumber in his hand: "Brother Guan... may I ask, what have you done that deserves my reward?"
He was not pretending to be stupid, but wanted to force Guan Lingxiao to tell him what he had done.
"I thought that the disciples taught by the imperial censor at that time would not use such shameless methods..." Guan Lingxiao's eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Guan also knows a person who came from Heshanhe Mansion, he can be said to be aboveboard. .”
"Oh? Did you find out everything about me so quickly?" He Nan pretended to be surprised, and then his face changed and he jumped up from the bed: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't provoke me - who do they love? Shanhe Mansion Who is upright and aboveboard, I am the shameless person of Shanhe Mansion."
Guan Lingxiao looked at He Nan's excited expression and smiled helplessly: "Then just think of me as asking you to do something."
"That's right..." He Nan pretended to smile proudly: "Everything comes down to one thing, I'll do the work, don't worry."
"You know what I want to do with you." This is not a question, but a statement.
Guan Lingxiao felt a chill running down his spine. The last time they met, he seemed to have revealed nothing to He Nan.
But it seemed like everything was revealed.
"Of course I know..." He Nan jumped off the bed and threw the cucumber tail away: "There are so many things that can't be hidden in your heart..."
"However, I want to say something ugly first." In order to show his friendliness, He Nan smiled politely: "I owe you a favor for Han Shu, but other things don't count - we Cooperation between them is only based on the condition that they do not hinder each other, right?"
"You can guess what I want to do, but whether you guess right or wrong, I won't say it, because once it starts, there is no way to stop it, let alone reverse it. Only when I It will only end when I achieve my goal..."
"You help me, I'll help you."
What He Nan said was actually similar to what Guan Lingxiao wanted to say. Both of them were smart people, and it was enough to say something once.
There are also some words that don’t even need to be said.
…………
Guan Lingxiao's goal has been achieved, so there is no need to stay with He Nan too late. Instead of cultivating feelings and establishing bonds with each other, it is more cost-effective for people like them to directly exchange benefits.
"That's right." Guan Lingxiao had already crossed the threshold with one foot, and suddenly he heard He Nan's voice coming from behind: "There may be a gambling game in a while. Brother Guan, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come and sit down?"
"There is a shortage of people..." Guan Lingxiao immediately understood the implication of He Nan's words.
"That's for sure... Mahjong is played by four people."
