Chapter 1224: Standing as a Statue of God, Falling as Dirt

After telling all the rumors in Linzi city, Chongxuan Sheng asked with a smile: "How is it? How do you feel now?"

Jiang Wang asked, "Does anyone believe it?"

"Why doesn't anyone believe it? Because you are the pride of Qi State and the hero of Qi State, and you are displaying the flag for the country at Guanhe Tower?"

Zhongxuan Sheng said: "The essence of the statues on the altar is just clay. It can be offered on the table or stepped on underfoot. Do you think your golden body is indestructible? The golden body and chalcedony of the powerful God are still acceptable. If it is broken, what about your nihilistic aura?”

Jiang Wang didn't care at first, because it was basically nonsense. But after hearing what Zhong Xuansheng said, he couldn't help but ask: "How many people are stepping on this mud now?"

"It's all over Linzi." Zhong Xuansheng's eyes were dark, and he raised his fingers and said: "Not only are there a lot of curses in the streets, but there are also people in the court who want to file a case against you. Some want to issue an arrest warrant directly, and some want to thoroughly investigate Qingyang Town, Directly interrogate those under your command... Even your Taixu Corner Tower in Tianfu City is wanted to be nationalized. I suspect you have an ulterior motive!"

Jiang Wang smiled.

"Your smile is a bit sarcastic." Chong Xuansheng chuckled.

"I just feel..." Jiang Wang said: "I fought my whole life in the Mysterious World, and I fought for the glory of Qi at Guanhe Terrace. The things I have done and the merits I have gained should give me some trust. "

"Of course there are people who trust you." Zhongxuan Sheng said: "Like me, like Shi Shi."

"You don't understand." Jiang Wang shook his head: "Your trust is more about feelings. What I'm talking about is, why do people who are strangers to me judge me because of a few words, but they don't judge what I have really done. How about turning a blind eye to things?"

"You don't understand." Chong Xuansheng said: "Many times, what people say has nothing to do with what you have done. This is the way the world is, Jiang Wang. Can't you understand it yet? When you are in power When you are high in the clouds, everyone will look up at you. When you fall into the dust, isn't it just a matter of chance that passersby will step on you when they pass by you? "

"Really?" Jiang Wang had a complicated expression.

"The people who praise you today may be the ones who will step on you in the future." Zhongxuan Sheng suddenly laughed: "Don't be so serious, Mr. Jiang! I'm just letting you get used to it in advance. You are now a dignified third-grade official. , There will be more of this kind of thing in the future! Although Qi is a big country, it is also crowded at high places. The higher you go, the more you will experience!"

Jiang Wang sighed and tasted the taste: "Let me get used to it in advance. What do you mean?"

Chong Xuan Sheng was not embarrassed at all: "It's enough to say that you are a secret agent of the Ping Dynasty. It's also very bold to say that you are plotting to restore the country. Why do you think there are still people who say that you kicked down the widows' doors and dug up the graves of extinct families?"

"Why?" Jiang Wang looked at him.

"I did it!"

Chong Xuan Sheng was quite proud: "I didn't know whether you were alive or dead at that time, so I dealt with it casually based on the fact that you were still alive."

Jiang Wang probably figured out a little bit of his idea, but he still couldn't help but feel a little itchy: "Even if I want to muddy the water, it won't mean that I dug a grave for every family, right?"

Zhong Xuansheng's smile spread across his fat body: "You mean you don't object to kicking the widow's door?"

Jiang Wang was choked to the point of having nothing to say. After a long moment of silence, he said, "I really do have you."

"You think this is the end?"

Chong Xuan Sheng had a strange look on his face: "Some people say that you and I have a habit of cutting off sleeves. Why? We have been looking for excuses to live together. From Xiashan Befu to Yaoguangfang, we have been inseparable all day long."

"I didn't do this," he added.

Jiang Wang was shocked: "Who did that? What's the point of starting this rumor?"

"Who knows?" Zhong Xuansheng said nonchalantly: "The higher you stand, the more people can see you. And when there are more people, there will be all kinds of birds, some big and big. Small, some long, some short.”

Jiang Wang rolled his eyes: "Are you talking about people?"

"Hahaha." Chongxuan Sheng said with a smile: "Let's liven up the atmosphere. Back to the topic, do you know where my master's wonderful pen is this time?"

"It's already great to react immediately and muddy the water." Jiang Wang asked flatteringly, "Is there anything better?"

Chong Xuan Sheng let out a tortuous "Eh", waved his hand and said, "This is nothing."

But looking at his expression, he clearly enjoyed it.

After all, he is the flatterer of the No. 1 imperial court in the world. He is blunt and stiff, and his weight is quite sufficient.

"Although the water is muddy, people can't see clearly. But you also know..." Chong Xuansheng looked at him and said: "There are really fish in the water."

Jiang Wang paused and said, "Yes."

In fact, it was said that he was colluding with the Ping Ping Country, that he protected the remnants of the Yang family, and that he destroyed Zhaoheng City and arrested everyone, but he didn't care. Because he has a clear conscience, there is always a way to find out the truth.

The only thing he couldn't be calm about was covering Hell Gateless Yama's entry into the city.

After all, because he actually did it!

Although the mood and situation at that time were different from this moment, what has happened cannot be easily erased.

"There is no need to hide it." Chong Xuansheng said: "We didn't have many choices at that time. You had no sense of belonging to Qi State and you had to fulfill your promise to Yin Guan. And I need your help very much and don't want you to leave Linzi. In the final analysis , that matter was our common choice. In fact, I had a follow-up plan at that time, and I wanted to send Yin Guan and the others to Beiya, but Yin Guan actually didn't trust you and didn't give me a chance to operate...

Of course, no matter how many reasons there are, it's still a problem. "

Chong Xuan Sheng smiled: "I thought times have changed. Now that someone has brought it up, this problem can be solved."

"How to solve it?" Jiang Wang asked.

Chong Xuan Sheng asked: "Did you pay attention to that rumor? Or did you ignore it because of a guilty conscience?"

Jiang Wang frowned and repeated slowly: "They said that I was secretly the killer of Hell's Gateless. I protected Hell's Gateless Yama's entry into Linzi, and then covered their escape afterwards. Even my Qingyang Town is Hell's Gateless. One of the stations.”

Chong Xuan Sheng asked: "Are you the killer of Hell's No Gate?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Wang said, "Yin Guan invited me, but I refused."

Chong Xuansheng asked again: "Is there a hidden station in Qingyang Town where there is no gate to hell?"

"Of course there is nothing! Qingyang Town is clean." Jiang Wang said.

"Very good." Chong Xuansheng said: "The earliest rumor is that you protected Hell's Gateless Yama to enter Linzi, and together with King Qin Guang and King Wu Guan, killed Su She, the leader of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce... and the rest , I added it.”

"The reason why rumors are rumors is because they do not have a source of 'faith' and cannot become 'faith'. Once spread, even the person who first spread it cannot become the authoritative explanation for it. Everyone has his or her own interpretation. Power. Obviously, my additions make it more informative, more coherent, and more convincing.”

"So?" Jiang Wang asked.

Chong Xuansheng said: "Of all the rumors, this one is the most decent, the most true, and has the best chance of getting ironclad evidence. It can be said to be your destiny. So soon there will be people asking for a thorough investigation of Qingyang Town, and I will mobilize political resources and do my best to oppose it, but in the end, this matter will go as they want!”

At this point, Jiang Wang completely understood.

Qingyang Town can fully withstand investigation!

Since Qingyang Town was not the station of Hell without Gate, and Jiang Wang was not the killer of Hell Without Gate, then the matter of him covering Yama's entry into Linzi is naturally nonsense!

In fact, in this seemingly overwhelming black tide, this is Jiang Wang's only weakness.

But Chong Xuan Sheng smoothed it out with just a push.
