Chapter 20: The Fisherman
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a powerful palm wind, the bookcase made of good rosewood turned into powder.
"What's going on?" Gu Changqing's roar echoed above the eagle's nest, and the three golden-clothed people below the shock bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak.
Gu Changqing's chest continued to rise and fall, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and shouted: "A group of useless idiots, bastards, and waste!
Thinking that the people he sent out had smashed things up, Gu Changqing felt a nameless anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to smash all these people's heads one by one!
The few people below were all trembling and didn't dare to answer, but Gao Fei, who was standing on the side, said: "Don't be angry first, Lord Eagle, I think there is still something strange in this matter." ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Changqing looked at Gao Fei.
Just as he Gu Changqing is currently the most important talent in the Heavenly God Palace, Gao Fei is also the person he Gu Changqing values the most, but Gu Changqing will pay some attention to his words.
Gao Fei has replied: "Qiming is also the old man of Eagle Hall, he has done things all these years, and we have all seen it in our eyes, it can be said that he is quite stable, and there has never been anything wrong." ”
Gu Changqing snorted: "I know that I sent him because of this, but I didn't expect such a leak to be made." ”
Gao Fei said: "I think ...... Is it possible that it wasn't the Enlightenment Problem?"
"En?" Gu Changqing had already looked at Gao Fei: "What do you mean......"
Gao Fei bowed down and replied, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't dare to say anything affirmative." However, I asked someone to ask the students who were nearby at the time, and I also inquired about Xin Yue and Si Yue'er's tone, it is said that Tang Zheng shouted that there was a thief at that time, because he found footprints, Eagle Lord, don't you think it is a bit of a fuss to shout that there is a thief when you find a footprint?"
Gu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "You go on." ”
Gao Fei said: "In addition, according to the information obtained from the inquiry, the footprint was heard to be very clear, so he stepped on a pile of flour. To say that the three of them have small flaws in their actions, there may be corners that they haven't noticed, and some small clues have been left, which is reasonable. But to say that such a clear evidence is left without realizing it...... I don't think they're going to be incompetent to that point. ”
Hearing this, the three people below were already looking at Gao Fei with tears in their eyes.
Gu Changqing finally regained his composure.
He sat down, touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "You're right, Goofy, I'm thrilled about this. Looks like there's a ghost behind this......"
"But his subordinates still don't understand, if it's really Tang Zheng who intends to frame him, then why did he do this?"
"What is it for?" Gu Changqing habitually knocked on the table, but found that the bookcase had been smashed by his palm, so he could only stand up and paced a few steps before he said: "Of course, it's because this matter is of great benefit to him, now Xie Fengtang must have noticed him, right?" Then next, the Moon Washing Sect will definitely keep a close eye on this person, and with the Moon Washing Sect intervening, it will be difficult for us to attack him." ”
"Does the Eagle Lord mean that he is trying to use this matter to attract the attention of the Moon Washing Sect and protect himself?" Gao Fei frowned: "But the problem is that the Moon Washing Sect is not a good man and a woman." We want a soldier's sword, and they want it too!...... Tang Zheng is already planning to hand over the military inspection to the Moon Washing Sect?"
Speaking of which, Gao Fei's complexion also changed drastically.
If so, that's probably the worst possible outcome.
Gu Changqing shook his head: "I don't think he will hand over the military inspection." If he wanted to hand it over, he could have done it three years ago, so why bother to be a servant for others? As long as he was willing to hand over the military test, even if it was a true inheritance, the Moon Washing Sect would have agreed, right? If he wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago. ”
"Then why did he want the Moon Washing Sect to find him?"
"For what?" Gu Changqing sneered: "Gao Fei, you forgot one thing. ”
"What?"
Gu Changqing said word by word: "So far, in fact, we don't have any evidence to confirm that he is Tang Jie!"
Goofy was stunned.
Gu Changqing said: "Can you really be sure that he is Tang Jie who has a military skill? He is just from the same background, the same age, and the same name as that Tang Tribulation, but does this mean that he is Tang Jie? To be honest, even now, you and I can't be sure of this!"
"If this happens, there is a nine-in-a-nine chance that he will happen!" Gao Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, why would he create evidence to frame us?"
"The problem is that our people did go that night! He shouted out at that time, indicating that it may not be a coincidence, but that he did find the clues left by Qiming and them! So it is entirely possible that he felt that there was a problem, and then made a big fanfare and expanded the evidence, young people, always like to grandstand, this is also true!" Gu Changqing retorted: "The most important thing is that if Tang Zheng really wants to frame us, why does he have to pick when we really go? He doesn't have to wait for our people to come?" You can do it directly at any time. ”
The next disciple named Qiming had already said quickly: "Maybe it's because of returning to the origin?"
"Wrong!" Gu Changqing had already said, "It's not that only the Return to the Origin Method can point to the Heavenly God Palace. If I were Tang Tribulation, if I wanted to attract the attention of the Moon Washing Academy, I could have chosen the easier way. For example, when I shouted, I saw a man in gold walking away from my room. But he didn't do it, he did it after we had actually been there, and we can't even confirm whether the evidence was made by him or not!"
"This ......" everyone was speechless again.
"In other words, we still can't confirm that he is Tang Jie, or even that he deliberately framed him?" Qiming said hatefully.
In the past three years, there have been many goals like his. It's just that he's the only one who shouted that I'm Tang Zheng, and he's the only one who found out we'd been here after we went to search. These two points can only prove that he is suspicious, but they cannot prove that he is!" Gu Changqing sighed and said: "In this world, there are too many things that can be suspected, but too few things that can be confirmed!"
He is a person who pays attention to evidence, although he also thinks that the possibility of Tang Zheng being Tang Jie is very, very high, but before he finds the military jian, any rash action is unwise.
If you admit your mistake, the consequences will be troublesome!
Gu Changqing had already said again: "But because of this, I can understand why he wants the Moon Washing Sect to pay attention to him." ”
Gao Fei's eyes lit up: "Because the Moon Washing Sect can't be sure either." ”
"That's right. Gu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Now let's make a hypothetical ......"
"Suppose, I am Tang Jie, and at the same time, Tang Zheng. I have a military experience in my hand, as long as I am successful in cultivation in the future, go to Tiandu Mountain, and open the big array, I can obtain the treasure of the soldier master. However, cultivation is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. If you want to open the Tiandu Mountain Great Array, you must at least have the strength of the Tianxin real person. And to enter the heavenly state of mind is out of reach for the vast majority of people. ”
Gao Fei has already spoken: "So not only do I have to enter the Moon Washing Academy, but I also have to get the attention of the academy, become one of the top ten disciples, and obtain the secret method inheritance, so that I can stabilize into the heart of heaven!"
"That's right. But I'm just a middle-of-the-road talent of the fifth turn of the Jade Gate, why should I let the Moon Washing Sect value me?"
Gao Fei's eyes had flashed with a fierce light: "Naturally, it depends on military experience...... That's the only weight I have in my hands!"
"That's why I'm going to shout before I enter the academy, hoping to get the academy's attention. ”
"But I didn't expect that the Heavenly God Palace would buy some people in the academy, and they didn't report the information, and the news of the Moon Washing Party's military inspection was also limited, so the degree of attention may not be enough. ”
"So I'll have to find a way to remind the Moon Academy further. ”
"The problem is that I don't really want to hand over the military certificate, and I can't reveal the secrets of the military certificate, so how can I remind me?"
"That's a little harder...... But...... Maybe...... You can use the Celestial God Palace in turn......" Gao Fei's voice gradually deepened: "If the Moon Washing Sect finds out that the Celestial God Palace is suspicious of me, then they will naturally notice me as well. ”
"So what I have to do is to let the investigation of the Heavenly God Palace fall into the eyes of the Moon Washing Sect. Gu Changqing continued: "This is equivalent to letting the Heavenly God Palace tell the Moon Washing Sect itself that Tang Zheng may be Tang Jie." ”
Gao Fei continued: "That's right, then the attention of the Moon Washing Sect will come to me, but since the Heavenly God Palace is not sure of my identity, the Moon Washing Sect can't be sure if I am Tang Jie or not. ”
Gu Changqing: "So the Moon Washing Sect will definitely keep an eye on me, but it won't act lightly." ”
Goofy: "But the risks remain. It is very likely that the Moon Washing Sect will directly arrest me to search for the soul and find out the truth, after all, the Moon Washing Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Moon Washing Sect, and if they want to arrest people, it is not as troublesome as the Heavenly God Palace. ”
Gu Changqing: "How can there be anything in the world world that is not risky? In the face of behemoths like the Heavenly God Palace and the Moon Washing Sect, if you want to take advantage of the fire, you must take some risks, not to mention that the possibility of the Moon Washing Sect doing so is not very large. First, they can't be sure if I'm the person the Heavenly God Palace wants, and it won't be easy to do if the wrong person is caught. The consequences of soul searching are too serious, it will abolish people, which is equivalent to killing people, and soul searching also has limitations, and you may not be able to get the information you want. Second, there is also the Tianshen Palace. If the Moon Washing Sect didn't get anything, it would be fine, and if it had a harvest, the Heavenly God Palace would definitely not let go. In case the matter is poked out, when the time comes, the Moon Washing Academy will torture its own students and seek benefits, and the reputation of the Moon Washing Sect will stink. ”
Gao Fei: "A student's life is not valuable. But the reputation of the Moon Washing Sect is still worth some money. Especially when you are not sure of the person, and you are not sure of the benefits, it will be even worse if you kill a disciple in vain. ”
Gu Changqing: "So if I were Xie Fengtang, I would definitely not use such a simple and crude method." ”
Gao Fei: "I will pretend not to know, and take gentle measures to show favor to them, so that they will be grateful to the Moon Washing Sect, and it is possible that they will explain everything themselves in the future." As long as it is handed over by Tang Zheng himself, it is useless for the Divine Palace to toss it that day, and the reputation of the Moon Washing Sect will not be damaged, and fame and fortune will be gained!"
Gu Changqing: "Even if he doesn't pay it, he can get closer and find out the true news, a child, as long as he puts in a little effort, he can always be deceived." It still doesn't work, and it's too late to be arrested and tortured. Even if it is the worst result, Tang Zheng is not Tang Jie, it is just a small preference for a student, and the effort is only a drop in the bucket, anyway, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, as long as people are in their own hands, it is easy to do. ”
Gao Fei: "This is equivalent to using the Moon Washing Sect to contain the Heavenly God Palace, and then using the Heavenly God Palace to contain the Moon Washing Sect in turn!"
Gu Changqing: "The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits!"
Gao Fei: "That's why after the incident, Xie Fengtang will immediately give ten bottles of elixir and one thousand spirit money." ”
Gu Changqing: "This is just the beginning, if Xie Fengtang thinks that I am Tang Jie, it is very likely, if he knows the value of the Dao Martial Arts, if I behave better......"
Gao Fei: "Even the ninth floor of Tianyi Pavilion may be open for me...... This kid is calculating enough!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Gao Fei finally didn't simulate Tang Tribulation, and looked at each other with Gu Changqing, and gasped at the same time.
The crowd below was even more dumbfounded.
Why did Gu Changqing never think of the Moon Washing Sect? Because he believed that if Tang Zheng wanted to hand over the military inspection to the Moon Washing Sect, he would have already handed it over, and there was no need to wait until now.
It was this limitation of thinking that made him make a big mistake!
Tang Zheng really didn't want to hand over the military inspection to the Moon Washing Sect, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to use the Moon Washing Sect.
The best way to use the Moon Washing Sect is not to tell the Moon Washing Sect that "I am the person who the Tenjin Palace wants", but to let the Moon Washing Sect itself "suspect that I am the person who asked the Tenjin Palace to ask for it" through the behavior of the Celestial God Palace.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.
But in some cases, there is a world of difference.
Suspicion is suspicion, before you find the real thing, before the other party admits it personally, before there are only some fragmentary clues, you just can't confirm him!
And he has begun to fight for his own interests in the process.
Gao Fei had already muttered, "If this is his plan, then this kid's scheming is too terrifying, isn't it? He's only sixteen years old now!"
Gu Changqing snorted: "You forgot that he attracted our attention from the name Tang Tribulation, and when he went to the Wei Mansion, he was already called Tang Tribulation." If he was really Tang Jie, then this plan would probably have started before he entered the Wei Mansion. ”
"What?" everyone looked at Gu Changqing in amazement.
"That year, he was not yet thirteen years old. Gu Changqing said leisurely.
The crowd was completely dumbfounded.
In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to deduce, under normal circumstances, just Tang Zheng's shout should make them think that there is a problem here, even if they can't think that Tang Zheng wants to profit from it, at least they can think that he wants to use the hand of the Moon Washing Sect to protect himself.
It's just that they never thought that an underage teenager would come up with such a plan.
This is no longer something that can be thought of by a smart mind, the most important thing is that the opponent has seen through the world and has a very deep understanding of this society!
Compared to the plan that played them in the palm of their hands, this made them feel more surprised, shocked and incredible.
At that moment, they suddenly had a common expectation that it was all just speculation!
Just guessing!
Gao Fei said: "However, there is always an end to this kind of thing of seeking benefits in the cracks. As long as one of the two sides runs out of patience, he will be finished......"
"That's right, this practice is playing with fire, and sooner or later it will burn itself. Gu Changqing replied: "So there are only two possibilities for this matter in the end." ”
"Which two are possible?"
"First, he is indeed not Tang Jie. So far, all he has done is shouting that I am Tang Zheng, and discovering that someone is peeping and notifying the academy. From a normal person's point of view, there is nothing wrong with what he did, and his reaction is normal, it's just that our luck is bad and his luck is too good. So this matter is just a coincidence, at his age, it is impossible and should not have come up with such a plan, it is our own suspicion and thinking too much. ”
"And the second?"
"He is indeed Tang Jie, all of this is carefully planned by him, just waiting for us to take the bait. If this is the case, then we can no longer treat him as an ignorant teenager, but as a cunning fox, as an unprecedented opponent. If it was such an opponent, it would be impossible for him not to be aware of the hidden risks in this plan, so he ......"
Gu Changqing raised his head and looked at everyone:
"He must have a backhand!"
