Chapter 138: Skill
Regarding the resettlement of these refugees and beggars, there have been many quarrels in the imperial court over this matter.
It's just that there is no solution for a long time, so he can only be placed in this way.
Both sides are maintaining a delicate balance, but there is only one point of conflict.
When Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu came to the broken temple, someone was giving porridge here.
Many people were holding their broken bowls and waiting in line quietly, perhaps because someone was giving porridge, and the appearance of the two people did not attract too many people's attention.
And the old man from before sat in the most conspicuous place, and when Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue walked in, they almost saw this guy who was obviously incompatible with the human temperament around him almost at a glance.
And when the old man saw Zhuang Mingyue's arrival, he also showed a smile, and then nodded at Zhuang Mingyue, as if he had already expected Zhuang Mingyue's arrival.
"The girl is here." When Zhuang Mingyue approached, the old man said.
Long Yuanxiu glanced at him and said, "You are from the same sect as the person before, I don't know which sect you come from?"
The old man touched his short beard: "Our sect is very small, but there are only two or three people, and the master does not often accept apprentices, in fact, I said the title of the sect today, I'm afraid the two of you haven't heard of it."
Such words made the two stunned.
Zhuang Mingyue was even more curious: "If we ask Mr. for help, I don't know what Mr. has to do?"
The old man also knew that Zhuang Mingyue's words had the meaning of temptation, and if he wanted to get two people to be reused, he had to first reflect the value he should have.
So the old man smiled and said, "The best way to solve the rumor is to have a rumor that is more discussed than him."
As soon as these words came out, they really made both of them stunned in place, and neither of them had thought of such a method before.
"I don't know how the little old man does this?" The guy didn't speak, he didn't urge, he just asked with a smile.
Such an attitude makes people angry, and there is no way to hate him.
Long Yuanxiu rarely softened his face at this person: "This is not a good place to talk, why don't you go back with this king?"
The old man nodded: "In this way, it is better to be respectful."
In just a short time, this old man quickly made Zhuang Mingyue have a good impression of him.
I went back to the house and asked people to bring tea again.
Long Yuan Xiucai spoke again: "Putting aside the grievances between Mr. and his own senior brother, I don't know why you are willing to help us?"
The old man smiled and said: "I looked at the faces of His Royal Highness and this girl, and I knew that they were destined people, but it was just the little old man's wishful thinking that he wanted to be friends with the two of them, and if there was any trouble in the future, it was okay, even if he sent someone to find me."
Obviously, this man did not tell the truth, but only left room for such politeness.
Long Yuanxiu couldn't ask any further.
The old man smiled and said, "Instead of discussing my purpose, why don't you discuss how to find a better rumor?"
It's really easy to talk to smart people.
Long Yuanxiu didn't
There was further questioning, and Zhuang Mingyue sat quietly on the side.
Although it is possible to find a more widespread rumor to cover up the current one, you need to be more cautious in the process of selecting rumors.
However, the old man did not look flustered at all, but calmly said something that shocked people: "The reason why gossip is so widespread is precisely because his existence makes people curious, and when he talks about it, he increases his talking points and knowledge, which makes other people amazed, this kind of thing has never been authentic, just a mouth is enough."
The old man said this, and finally suggested: "The little old man has a proposal, I wonder if the two of you are willing to listen to it?"
Long Yuanxiu laughed: "Since Mr. already has an idea, why hide it anymore?"
The old man smiled: "Since it's gossip and there is no authenticity, then why don't we make a big vote?"
He smiled and said, "What is the most discussed point and the most likely to attract people's attention today?"
Zhuang Mingyue was reminded like this, and suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, she seemed to know the meaning of this old man's words.
Seeing her expression, the old man smiled: "The girl is really a smart person."
Zhuang Mingyue only felt that her throat was a little dry, and said with difficulty: "Don't you think it's too risky to do this?" What if someone finds out the source? And you're a gamble! ”
The old man smiled disdainfully and said, "If you can't make a big vote, how can you cover the previous rumors in the shortest possible time?" Besides, as long as there are many people talking about this kind of rumor, naturally you won't be able to find out where to go, aren't there many such suitable candidates in the place where you came to me before? ”
The old man's meaning has been made very clear, there are many people who have fled in the ruined temple outside the city, and these people have never had a doorkeeper on their lips when they speak, and the emperor's relatives and relatives will be scolded thousands of times a day in the mouths of these people.
It's best to have these people as spreaders of rumors.
Long Yuanxiu also reacted at this time: "If you want to spread the rumor in the shortest possible time, there is only one way to do it, before this rumor was just because it was made up into a limerick, many people still don't know the meaning behind it, but if we directly attack the royal family......
Long Yuanxiu said this idea directly, which made Zhuang Mingyue frown disapprovingly: "But this is really too risky, and won't this price feel too big?" In case ......"
Long Yuanxiu firmly refuted her: "I didn't think of it at first, but this matter is not in case, if you don't do it, the next person to have an accident will be you!"
Of course, Long Yuanxiu didn't want Zhuang Mingyue to have an accident, so when he said this, his tone inevitably became a little heavy.
knew that he was doing it for his own good, but Zhuang Mingyue had an uneasiness in his heart, and this uneasiness gradually expanded as the two in front of him continued to discuss.
She knew that this was almost the most effective way to do it right now.
opened his mouth, wanting to stop the two, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only sit anxiously on the side, the hand holding the teacup was slightly forced, and the fingertips were already white.
It wasn't until the two of them made a final decision and discussed all the plans that the uneasiness in Zhuang Mingyue's heart finally reached its peak.
"I always feel that something is not quite right in this matter, or let's slow down, I feel a little uneasy......" Zhuang Mingyue looked at the two of them, and then said what she thought in her heart.
Long Yuanxiu stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, as if coaxing, and said, "It's okay, you believe me, this matter will definitely be dealt with, and it will be fine, you are uneasy just because this matter has something to do with you, which makes you too nervous."
Zhuang Mingyue shook her head, a lot of things had happened before, but there had never been such an uneasy mood as today, and I had never seen how nervous I had become because of these things.
She opened her mouth, and when she wanted to say something, Long Yuanxiu had already quickly ordered the matter.
Seeing the old man sitting on the side, Zhuang Mingyue took a deep breath and said, "It's best to solve this matter smoothly, otherwise I always feel that there are other things that have not been discovered by us."
As soon as Zhuang Mingyue said this, the old man paused while holding the teacup: "Of course, this matter cannot end so simply, if such a rumor is my senior brother's means, then I can only tell you that such a rumor is just a simple small means, and then he will do something even crazier than this matter."
Hearing the old man's introduction, both of them frowned.
Zhuang Mingyue suddenly reacted at this time and said, "I don't know what Mr. is called?"
The old man smiled: "Under the surname Bai."
Zhuang Mingyue said kindly: "Mr. Bai."
Old man Bai nodded: "Actually, there is no need to be so polite, I am just an idle cloud and wild crane, I am used to being alone, and the reason why I came here is just because of a bet with my senior brother at the beginning."
Again, he emphasized his purpose.
Zhuang Mingyue didn't say anything, just nodded.
Although the uneasiness in her heart has dissipated a lot, it is always buried in her heart like a time/bomb, which makes her feel an inexplicable panic.
"My senior brother's methods are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people." Old Man Bai put down the teacup and sighed, "His behavior is more radical than mine, compared to him, I deal with it like a child, and it is precisely because of this that he has been ridiculed for a long time." ”
Hearing that Old Man Bai took the initiative to mention the past of the two, Zhuang Mingyue turned his gaze over.
"It's just that later, for some reason, he and the master suddenly broke out a big conflict, and was finally expelled from the master, and I followed down the mountain soon after, and when I wanted to go back, there was no one in the master." Old man Bai sighed and said, "I have traveled all the way, seen a lot of big rivers, and I am used to seeing a lot of people and worldliness. ”
"Finally, you came here and heard about your senior brother?" Zhuang Mingyue asked uncertainly.
Old man Bai shook his head and said: "Finally, I came here and heard this rumor, and when I heard the rumor again, I immediately reacted, because it is a method of looking at people and stars that I have once made friends in the master, and I can indeed get a glimpse of the heavenly machine, but the heavenly machine cannot be revealed."
