Chapter 244: Second Investigation Bureau: Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, Righteous Alliance: Fifth Master's Back-Up Plan
Jiang You looked at the strip of stone, which was clearly the scabbard of the Victory Evil Sword. The people underneath didn't know it, and wondered whether the fifth master took the unattractive stone as a gift for the young master's ceremony. Could it be that the stone had another mystery?
But the few people sitting in front of them could see it clearly. They were either those who were competing at the time or those who had seen the photos. They were shocked. This thing was not a spiritual object that descended from the sky at that time, which attracted all the major forces to fight for it, and was finally seen by Ziwu. ? How come it ended up in Lao Wu’s hands? Ziwu Temple didn’t come this time either!
A few people immediately guessed that this matter must have been obtained by this old guy through clever robbery. The place where this thing fell at that time was near Ziwu Temple, so they almost mobilized their entire team at that time. Although the strength is not the strongest among several organizations, it relies on the number of people to win and seize this thing. See, without strength, you can't keep good things in your hands.
Didn’t we just form an alliance of decency? If word of your practice spreads, people will gossip!
A few people got big headaches and were tied to Yama. Their reputations in the future may not be good.
Jiang You stretched out his hand to touch the scabbard. The feeling in his hand was the same as that of the Shengxie Sword at that time. A closer inspection made him more sure that it was the scabbard of the Shengxie Sword. Now he wanted to take out the Shengxie Sword directly and see. See what happens when the sword and scabbard become one.
But now there were too many people and the occasion was wrong, so I had to suppress the enthusiasm in my heart, pulled out the scabbard, and said to the Fifth Master: "Thank you, the Fifth Master!"
As Jiang You pulled out the scabbard of his sword, the elder next to him immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "All the people of Yama pay homage to Young Master Jiang You!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists, bent down and bowed his head to worship.
Lu Xiaoxiao and others standing on both sides walked to the front and saluted in the same way, "Pay homage to the young master!"
"Pay homage to the young master!"
The people in the back of Yama had already stood up and bowed their heads to worship.
"Congratulations, Young Master Yama!"
People from several organizations also saluted, and the dense crowd saluted, forming a wave that spread outward layer by layer.
Even the heads were very considerate and saluted in the same way, but they did not bend down. They just cupped their fists and bowed their heads slightly to show respect.
At this time, everyone in the headquarters, except the Fifth Master, Jiang Tianci and Jiang You, bowed their heads. Jiang You stood on top and looked at the crowd of people worshiping below. An emotion he had never felt before flowed out of his heart, and his blood flowed even faster than he knew. He sped up and his face flushed.
“Is this what power feels like?”
It has been said since ancient times that a good man should wake up and take charge of the world, but he should lie drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman.
Jiang You has never tasted the feeling of being drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, but the feeling of holding power is really wonderful and intoxicating. No wonder that from ancient times to the present, many heroes have fought for power at all costs, and the Yama Luo headquarters has been expanded. How many people could have impacted Jiang You's state of mind at this time? What was it like for an ancient emperor to have the world surrender and all nations to come to court?
Fifth Master and Jiang Tianci smiled and said nothing at this time, letting Jiang You feel the glory that belonged to him alone. They just kept observing Jiang You and counting the time in their minds.
Jiang You counted until five seconds before he made any move. He cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "Thank you all for your love. Jiang You will definitely be loved by everyone in the future!"
After Jiang You returned the gift, the elder in charge of singing said, "The ceremony is completed!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up in anger and saw Jiang You returning the greeting in the middle of the stage.
This time not only had an impact on Jiang You's state of mind, but Yang below, the grandson of Elder Jiang, was also greatly shocked.
In fact, they were not very interested in the position of young master before. Yama is a feudal system. The three elders each manage their own territory independently. They are also the "young master" at home. They really become the young master for themselves, and they have the fifth master above them. It's just a vain name. It's not a wise man to worry about this.
In fact, what they thought was not entirely wrong. Only Jiang You or Lu Xiaoxiao could hold this position, which could truly be considered as having great power.
But things are not that simple. Didn't you realize that the three elders actually want their children to become young masters? Even if you only have a false reputation, you will have the opportunity to do many things later, and there are many ways to do it!
At this time, they already regretted it down there. They were all arrogant people. How could they usually perform the ritual of worship? But at this time, I was forced to bow my head due to the pressure of the general trend. Didn't I see that their grandfathers were all the same? If I had known this, I would have fought with that Jiang You no matter what!
Qi Honghu didn't have so many thoughts in his mind. After all, he had worshiped his eldest brother before, so it didn't mean anything now.
After that, several people on the stage turned around and entered the Yama Hall, where the banquet officially began with the serving of food and wine.
Everyone's gifts have just begun to be given, but this time it is not like Tiezhu holding a reception banquet for Jiang You, singing the gifts directly. Everyone is a person of status, so it is too unclassy to do so.
Gifts are received in a low-key manner and will not be opened. After a special person from Yama records the giver's information, they are piled in the warehouse where they will be counted and sorted.
At the banquet in the Yama Hall, because everyone had already finished chatting about serious matters, it was time to eat, drink, and talk about some lighthearted topics. Until two o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet in the Yama Hall and the square was over. Several heads Time is precious, and Fifth Master did not leave them alone, asking them to lead the disciples away.
After they left, a new banquet was put on, and the middle and high-level officials of Yama entered and started eating.
During this period, the gifts had been counted and reported to the Fifth Master during the meal. The Fifth Master directly told Jiang that the expansion of the headquarters and the holding of the ceremony would cost a lot of money. The gifts were 70% returned to the official, 30% given to Jiang You, and a child celebrating the New Year. After receiving the New Year's money, the parents take the lion's share.
Jiang You didn't care about gifts. He had already got what he wanted most, and he didn't care about other bits and pieces now. He just asked for a list of gifts to see if there were any spiritual objects in it that he needed to advance to the next level.
Not to mention, he actually found one of them, Jin Yangzhi!
This is one of the gifts from the Longevity Palace. It also gives a thoughtful explanation of its efficacy. Jinyangzhi is a centuries-old Ganoderma lucidum grown in the mountains that has been baptized with spiritual energy and mutated. Taking it can strengthen the body, strengthen the body, and improve the body. The magical power and physical strength can be said to be infinitely effective. Wanshou Palace got three in total. I used one for Chiyun, gave one to Yama as a gift, and kept one for myself.
Jiang You thought to himself that his luck was indeed prosperous now, and the spiritual object he had been promoted to was delivered to him without any effort.
Jiang You circled Jin Yangzhi on the list to express that he would keep it for himself. Although there were many good things in other gifts, Jiang You didn't need them, so he left them to the Fifth Master to distribute as he pleased.
As soon as this matter was over, Fifth Master said: "There is another matter that I want everyone to deal with together and bring people in!"
After the fifth master finished speaking, he saw two people walking in at the door carrying iron pillars dressed in white mourning.
Tiezhu's face was now covered with stubble, and he looked haggard. His haggardness was not that he had been unable to kneel for the past few days, but that the shame, self-blame and regret that he had when he was in the spiritual position repeatedly tortured his soul.
After Tie Zhu came in, the two people around him loosened their hands, and Tie Zhu knelt down like a puddle of mud!
"Zhang Jingwu, the leader of Ancheng Hall in Qin Province, neglected his duties. Because he was jealous of others and ignored the safety of his men, he fought with the forces of Shu Province, causing many deaths and extremely bad consequences. Please tell me how to deal with it!"
Fifth Master said loudly.
Everyone present suddenly became quiet, and no one said a word. Everyone knew that Zhang Jingwu was the confidant of the Fifth Master. At this time, they still couldn’t figure out the Fifth Master’s attitude. Not sent.
Elder Qi smiled easily and said: "What else is there to say? Just kill him!"
"Okay, then just follow what Elder Qi said, drag him down and kill him!"
At this time, several of Tiezhu's buddies could no longer sit still. They knelt down and wailed, "Fifth Master, your crime will not lead to death. Please spare Jingwu's life!"
"I spared his life, but who will spare the lives of the brothers who died in the battle?"
"Young Master, please speak!"
Those people begged Jiang You to plead for mercy. The three elders were not interested in this matter at first, and they were too lazy to interfere in such a trivial matter. Elder Qi also had a strong Jianghu attitude, and after hearing this, he gave common handling methods in the Jianghu.
But after hearing several people begging Jiang You for mercy, I wanted to see how Jiang You would handle this matter?
Seeing this, Jiang You couldn't ignore it, so he had to say: "Fifth Master, isn't Master Ciyun the master of the law enforcement hall? It's better to leave this matter to the master!"
Fifth Master smiled and said: "That's right, Master, what do you think?"
Ci Yun clasped his hands and said: "Hangzhu Zhang made a big mistake and his sins are indeed serious, but people cannot be resurrected, and killing him is useless. It is better to remove him from his position, follow Lao Na to copy Buddhist scriptures and repent, and then supervise him to do more things in the future." Good deeds resolve his sins!”
"Master is compassionate and generous, but punishment without threat is not enough to deter the public. In the future, if someone feels that they can survive a big mistake even if they make a big mistake, they will become more unscrupulous and unscrupulous. I am afraid it will not be a blessing to the people!"
At this time, everyone basically understood Fifth Master's attitude. An elder said: "Fifth Master is right. If Master does this, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future!"
Another person said: "Although the master is the master of the law enforcement hall, the sect rules have not been established yet, so it is better to follow the rules of the world first, so as to convince the public!"
"Yes, this is how we can give an explanation to our family members!"
The people below began to agree. When Ciyun saw this, his face showed compassion, but he still said the Buddha's name and sat down without saying a word.
"Okay, just follow the rules of the world!"
At this time, Lu Xiaoxiao said: "Although the sect rules have not yet been formulated, Elder Ciyun's opinions must be respected. Moreover, Yama is in a period of rapid development at this time and there is a serious lack of manpower, so why not compromise!"
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, these elders frowned. What's going on now? You didn't discuss it in advance. Do you really want to adopt our opinion?
In fact, these people have nothing to do with Tiezhu's fate. After all, the person who died is not mine and has nothing to do with him. Catering to his wishes is the key point.
Someone immediately changed their tune and said, "Yes, Elder Ciyun is in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall after all, and his opinions are very important!"
Elder Jiang looked at the Fifth Master with a smile and said, "Then let's make a compromise. First we should follow the rules of the world, and then we can hand it over to Master Ciyun!"
"What are the rules of the world?"
"Three swords and six holes! Whether you can survive or not is up to fate!"
"Okay, get the knife!" Master Wu agreed directly, and someone immediately came forward with the knife on a tray.
"Master Ciyun, is he willing to enforce the law?"
"Master Ciyun is an eminent monk, why not let me do it for you!"
Jiang You stood up at this time and stopped his words.
"Jiang You enforces the law, do you have any objections?"
"Young Master, law enforcement is justified and I agree!"
"Agree!"
Jiang You saw that no one had any objections, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took the knife and walked to Tiezhu, saying to him: "Uncle Tiezhu, the law is merciless, don't blame me!"
"Jiang'er, I deserve it, do it!"
Tiezhu was also very tough at this time, and he tore his shirt open.
Jiang You moved his arm at a very fast speed, and three afterimages appeared in the air. The tip of the knife directly pierced Tiezhu, and a total of six blood holes were opened.
After Jiang You put the knife on the tray, the blood on Tiezhu's body spurted out instantly, and soon dyed the ground blood red. Tiezhu
Everyone thought that Jiang You would show mercy, avoid the key position, and fool the matter. With Zhang Jingwu's physical fitness, he should be able to resist it. Who knew that Jiang You didn't care about Tiezhu's life or death at all, and stabbed him from top to bottom. This time, life and death were really up to God.
Seeing that Jiang You showed no mercy, several people who were pleading for Tiezhu said anxiously, "Jiang'er, how can you be so cruel?"
"How dare you speak to the young master like that!"
Elder Qi opened his eyes, roared, raised his hand and punched forward, and from a distance of seven or eight meters, he punched several people and made them spit blood and fly out, falling to the ground.
The Fifth Master snorted coldly, "Next time you do it, I will punish you severely! Okay, drag him down, bury him if he's dead, and send him to Master Ciyun to continue to atone for his sins!"
After the two dragged Zhang Jingwu down, the First Elder Yang suddenly spoke, "This matter is not over yet. The forces in Shu Province killed our people. What about this matter?"
The Fifth Master flicked his hand, and a large mass of black things flew to the floor. When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be thirty heads tied together with hair.
"A few days ago, I went there in person, and the people have been killed!"
Master Ciyun couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately stood up and said, "Fifth Master, why did you kill so many people? Could there be any wrong people among them!"
"Master, don't worry. These people are all relying on their own magical powers to commit crimes. I only took action after collecting evidence, Xiaoxiao!"
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and handed a thick stack of materials to Ciyun, "Master, this is their situation."
Ciyun took a quick look and found that there were not only the crimes committed by these people, but also the confessions of the victims' families. It was very detailed, so he didn't say anything and sat down.
Jiang You then realized what Fifth Master had been busy with a few days ago.
Things have come to this point, and all the endings have been completed. There is nothing else to do after that, and the banquet is over.
When Jiang You walked out of the Yama Palace, the Jade Rabbit was already in the sky. Just as he and Lu Xiaoxiao were about to leave, a Yama came up and said, "Young Master, the friend you brought wants to see you outside!"
Jiang You then remembered Qin Hanfeng. There were too many things to do today, so he forgot about it. Jiang You knew that Qin Hanfeng must have something to ask for, so he asked Lu Xiaoxiao to go with him.
Because after the banquet, Yama cleared the venue. As they walked along, the night was very quiet, and the wind blew, and there was already a breath of spring inside.
Under the guidance of Yama, Jiang You and Lu Xiaoxiao came to a side hall in front, where four or five people were waiting for tea. The tea had been added several times, and it was as light as boiled water without any taste. As for Jiang You, he waited for a long time.
"Brother Hanfeng, I'm busy today, so I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"It didn't take long, it didn't take long!"
Qin Hanfeng stood up happily, took two quick steps to the front and congratulated again, and then introduced the people around him.
"This is our organization's leader, Xu Lai."
"Hello, young master!"
"Qingfeng Xu Lai, what a good name!"
"Xu Lai has wasted his time, lived a mediocre life, and is a vulgar person. He is not as good as his parents!"
Qin Hanfeng then introduced other colleagues.
Jiang You listened, they were all young men and women from big families, this organization really took the upper-class route.
Jiang You didn't want to beat around the bush, so he asked Qin Hanfeng directly if he needed his help with anything.
Qin Hanfeng didn't expect Jiang You to be so direct, and his face was embarrassed, "This, this, there is indeed something to discuss, let Brother Xu speak!"
Xu Lai was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang You, "No need to be so troublesome, Brother Hanfeng, tell me!"
Xu Lai frowned, then smiled and said, "Yes, Hanfeng is a hero of our organization, he speaks more clearly than me!"
Qin Hanfeng was excited when he heard this, knowing that Jiang You was deliberately raising his own weight, and he was very grateful in his heart. He sorted out his thoughts in an instant and said, "Wu Guan, to be honest, we came to Qin Province this time, one is to congratulate you, and the other is to cooperate with Yan Luo?"
Jiang You heard it and asked in confusion: "Brother Hanfeng, aren't you developing in Shangjing? Why Why do you want to cooperate with Yan Luo? Yan Luo has no branch in Shangjing, or do you want to develop in Qin Province? "
"It's like this, our organization is called Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, which is to circulate and sell the local unique natural treasures after the spiritual energy of various places is revived. At the same time, we are also building our own intelligence system and selling intelligence. Now we have built a network in six provinces, all of which are in cooperation with local forces. Wu Guan, you also know me. My family has a little influence in Xiang Province. That's how I joined. Now I just want to develop in Qin Province!"
"Oh?"
After listening, Jiang You pondered in his heart. Why does this Ziwei Chamber of Commerce sound a bit like the mysterious Second Investigation Bureau? It's in Shangjing again.
It can't be an external force of the Second Investigation Bureau!
Jiang You didn't have any scruples, and asked as soon as he thought of it, "What is your relationship with the Second Investigation Bureau?"
When Jiang You said this, several people changed color. Qin Hanfeng knew nothing about this matter. "Second Investigation Bureau?"
He looked at Xu Lai. Xu Lai did not expect Jiang You to be so sensitive about this matter and directly guessed the background of his organization.
"Hahaha, since the young master knows the second investigation bureau, then we will not hide it. We are indeed related to the second investigation bureau, but it is only related. The main thing is to do business sincerely! The situation in Shangjing is more chaotic than other provinces. Now various factions are fighting each other, especially after the last news live broadcast incident, the struggle is even more intense, almost to the edge of losing control. Everyone is worried and looking for a way out for themselves. This is how the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce came about, but our role is just a businessman, responsible for making money, and never participating in other things. Please rest assured, young master!"
When Xu Lai said this, even Qin Hanfeng was surprised. He did not expect that his own organization was still in such a situation.
"Does the intelligence Han Feng mentioned before also include the intelligence in the Second Investigation Bureau?"
"Of course, of course, we will continue to update and expand the intelligence, and the intelligence is absolutely reliable and accurate!"
"If I want a top-secret file, is that okay?"
"We are businessmen, as long as the price is right, it's fine!"
After hearing this, Jiang You understood that the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce was actually created by the top management of the Second Investigation Bureau. It was an organization that sold out the interests of the organization for private gain. This practice was actually very common and had always been done this way.
However, seeing that they admitted it so openly, and even the Second Investigation Bureau endorsed their intelligence, it seems that the private interests sought were not the private interests of one or a few people, but the private interests of the party!
Use the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce to gather resources and transport them, so that they can fight more powerfully in Shangjing!
Has it come to this point? Jiang You has reason to believe that the existence of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce is by no means an isolated case. If one family does this, other families will naturally follow suit. In fact, to put it bluntly now, isn't the Zodiac the "Ziwei Chamber of Commerce" on the military side?
"Interesting, how do you want to cooperate?"
"Our Ziwei Chamber of Commerce wants to set up a branch in Chang'an, and will establish trade routes in the future, but the influence of our organization cannot radiate over there. Even if it radiates over there, the resistance from the local forces in Chang'an is also very strong. If you want to use the name of Yan Luo to act in Chang'an, of course, the price we offer will satisfy you!"
"Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to cooperate directly with the Third Investigation Bureau?"
Xu Lin sneered: "The Third Bureau? Haha, they are the biggest resistance!"
"Oh? Isn't the Third Investigation Bureau in Qin Province on the other side of the good relationship with Shangjing quite tense? It's basically the same as independence, why is there still resistance?"
"Young Master, you must not Trusting Zhang Yan, the old fox, who kept saying that he was not in harmony with Shangjing and that the director of the General Administration was his teacher, these were all smokescreens. The special envoys sent by Shangjing at that time were the third bureau that other forces wanted to check and control the local forces. They would naturally do tricks. In fact, they changed their way of existence after losing the power to suppress local forces! "
Jiang You was speechless for a while. He gave Lu Xiaoxiao a look, and Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and left. Jiang You didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise tonight. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Yan's performance at the small meeting. He first denied that they were not in harmony with the higher-ups, and then seemed to be forced to acquiesce, and said that as long as he didn't change his name, there would be no big problem.
Not to mention, after his step-by-step performance, it was really convincing.
Now Jiang You is thinking again, Zhang Heng's purpose here is probably to promote the Righteous Alliance, and then use this method to get in.
These old foxes are not simple. I really don't dare to believe a word of what they say.
But Zhang Yan did not expect that his secret was exposed by the people in the second round. This matter is of great importance and needs to be known to the Fifth Master.
Lu Xiaoxiao came back soon and whispered in Jiang You's ear: "The Fifth Master asked you to handle it with full authority!"
Jiang You had a bottom line in his heart when he heard this. Since you, Zhang Yan, did it on the first day, don't blame Yan Luo for doing it on the fifteenth!
"You can use the name of Yan Luo to act, but don't think about the business route. Qin Province has made arrangements to control it in our hands!"
"Young Master, the opening of the business route is extremely expensive. Leave this dirty work to us. We will definitely give a price that Yan Luo is satisfied with. Moreover, after the business route is opened, it is also in the name of Yan Luo. You can also try it for free. Why not do it?"
"There is no need to talk about this matter. After Yan Luo opens up the business route in the future, you can use it at a discounted price!"
Jiang You was very tough on this.
"Okay, that's it for today. Someone from Yan Luo will hand over the rest to you. Brother Han Feng, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave!"
"No problem, just come and see!"
After Jiang You and Lu Xiaoxiao left, Yan Luo arranged accommodation for several people from Ziwei Chamber of Commerce in the county.
A large mansion was reserved for Jiang You at the headquarters, so Jiang You didn't have to live with his grandfather and parents all the time.
The two walked all the way to the back of the headquarters. When there was no one around, Jiang You smiled and said, "Fifth Master always thought he had a plan, but now, Zhang Yan has tricked him!"
Lu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Zhang Yan is playing a double act with Fifth Master today, just to trick those companies into joining the game."
"What? There's this layer? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Aren't you worried about your relationship with those families? I'm afraid that you won't be able to save face. You are not a king. In the future, you must pay equal attention to power and virtue. The Fifth Master doesn't want your mood to be tainted, but who knows that this will happen tonight? Then There’s nothing you can do about it, just let him tell you!”
Lu Xiaoxiao sent Jiang You to the door of his house and went back.
The young master of Yan Luo's house was so large that it could almost be called a mansion. There were three entrances in total. When Jiang You pushed the door open and walked in, he saw the fifth master drinking wine under the vine trellis in front.
"Man is not as good as God. I didn't expect that I would let you know. I am here to explain it to you!"
"Why do you need to explain such a trivial matter?"
"You must say it. You will do the same in the future. A lot of suspicions arise from such trivial matters!"
The fifth master said very seriously indeed.
"Okay then, you say it and I listen!"
"This matter is actually a joint plan between Zhang Heng and I. What he wants is for the Third Investigation Bureau to retain control over Qin Province. After forming the alliance, at critical moments, he wants the support of Yama Luo. What I want is for Yama Luo to be able to Entering a bigger stage and seeking more benefits, that's all, everyone gets what they need.
In the future, Zhang Yan will confront Yama Luo openly and become Yama Luo's enemy in the alliance. In this way, if any company has other ideas in the future, they will get closer to him immediately. If they want to harm Yama Luo, Zhang Yan will cooperate. My family ate it, and so did our place. When making decisions, it can also guide us to make decisions that are beneficial to both of us. "
"Good guy, isn't this just four people in one dormitory and six WeChat groups? Aren't you afraid that other companies are also cooperating privately!"
"Then it's all about their own means, so that's okay? Actually, I wanted to tell you in the future, because we can't just keep calculating with each other for a long time. Driven by profit, and dispersed when the profit is exhausted. Only by driving with virtue can we go far!"
"Oh? When will that be?"
"When Yama can eat them all, then it will be the best time for you to show your power!"
The fifth master's plan is really long-term. He takes one step at a time and thinks about ten steps. When he first formed the alliance, he thought of annexing several other companies. He is indeed domineering and ruthless!
After fifth master cleared Jiang You's doubts, he left.
Jiang You thought about it in the courtyard for a long time and couldn't help but laugh. At this level, no one is a fool. If you think others are fools, then you are the stupidest one.
When the Fifth Master asked him to handle the cooperation with the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, he knew that he would agree. Now, when the Fifth Master cooperated with Zhang Yan, he had another trump card to counterattack. Zhang Yan asked the Fifth Master, a tiger, to cooperate. It was really Don’t worry about being eaten from behind!
Also, just in Qin Province, these families can calculate like this. When they go to Beijing, everyone always talks about chaos. Only now Jiang You has a preliminary understanding of this sentence. It is not a mature person like Mr. Wu who is a mess. If you go in, you will probably be eaten immediately without any bones left.
Forget it, let the Fifth Master handle these matters. We should also see what changes will happen if the scabbard and the Victory Evil Sword merge into one!
