Main Text Chapter 869: Mend the Fold After the Sheep Have Been Lost
Although the blood demon was seriously injured, she hid in Tianjie. Tianxing Palace had nothing to do with her. In addition, the blood demon's magic source was destroyed for a period of time and it would be difficult to cause trouble. Therefore, Mingzhao and Zhonglikuai did not stay at the Zhengqi Gate for a long time. He left the next day.
The three masters, Yu Lingshi brothers and Miao Yi, saw off the guests outside the Zhengqi Palace. For this reason, they closed the mountain guarding formation and watched the two of them go up to the sky.
After the guests left, the head of Yuling looked back at Miao Yi, feeling very emotional in his heart. The arrival of Tianxing Palace undoubtedly proved that Miao Yi had indeed been trapped for hundreds of years, and because of this, he had a relationship with Tianxing Palace. Asked: "Businessman, Junior Brother Yuxu said you have something important to discuss here?"
"Yes! I have something to ask the leader for advice." Miao Yi cupped his hand.
Yu Ling nodded, turned around and led a few people back to the Zhengqi Palace, and sat down cross-legged together.
After everyone sat down, they all waited for Miao Yi's words. However, Miao Yi glanced at the guard at the door and said through a message, "Master, can you ask the disciples outside to step back?"
Yu Ling was startled, but it seemed that they indeed had important matters to discuss, so she said nothing more and shouted towards the door: "You all should step back. No one is allowed to come near this place without permission."
"Yes!" The disciples outside the door bowed to the hall and then retreated.
After casting a spell to sweep the outside of the hall and confirming that everyone was gone, Yuling said: "If you have anything to say, layman, please tell me."
Miao Yi sighed, "May I ask the boss and the two real people what they think of Zhengqi Grocery Store today?"
The three of them did not expect that this was what he was asking. They looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. The head of Yuling asked, "The success of Zhengqi Grocery Store today is all because of the foundation laid by the layman. What does the layman think?"
Miao Yi frowned, "Zhengqi Grocery Store is developing very fast, but Niu is quite disapproving of it. The matter involves the owner's son, Taoist Deming, and I don't know whether to say something or not."
The three of them looked at each other again, and they all saw that Miao Yi seemed to have opinions about the current Zhengqi Grocery Store. This was a bit beyond their expectations. They all knew that Zhengqi Grocery Store was the foundation laid by Miao Yi, and Deming ran the grocery store. When facing questions from the three of them, Miao Yi would often be used as a defense. I really didn't expect that Miao Yi would actually have objections to the current Zhengqi grocery store.
The head of Yuling nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it, layman!"
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. Asked: "Although some words are unpleasant to hear, they do come from Niu's heart. I dare to ask three real people. Do you know why Niu is willing to settle down in Zhengqimen and why he is willing to serve Zhengqimen? Dare to ask three real people, do you know why Niu is willing to live in Zhengqimen? Why was he unwilling to hand over the Thousand-faced Demon Fox to the Wuxiang Sect when he first caught it, even though the Wuxiang Sect would benefit more from him? Do the real people know why Niu is willing to work hard to establish the Zhengqi grocery store? Do the three real people know why Niu, the owner of Zhengqimen, is unwilling to sign any contract to protect Niu’s own interests?”
The three of them were silent. These questions are somewhat difficult to answer.
Miao Yi looked at the three people's reactions, sighed, and continued: "It's all because I understand the Zhengqi Gate. Just like the five words written on the archway outside, there is righteousness in the world! Because this is the Zhengqi Gate! Because I believe in the Zhengqi Gate. ! Zhengqimen can give me peace of mind. For Niu, peace of mind is a destination! Although Niu does not want to be bound by Zhengqimen, he is willing to give it to him if he gets any benefits. Think of it as home! For Niu, Zhengqi Sect is not as simple as a place to stay, nor is it as simple as a sect to stay in. If it is just a place to stay, if it is only for the benefits, Qunying Guild has recruited me many times. , it is not that Niu has no place to go, and the place he goes to is not a gathering of heroes. There are more places to go to than Zhengqimen, but again, Niu really regards Zhengqimen as his home, because this is Zhengqimen. Qimen! It’s a righteous Qimen with a righteous mind in the world!”
When these words came out, the three real people were moved by them. They truly felt that Miao Yi spoke from the bottom of his heart and was sincerely touching.
"Who would have known..." Miao Yi shook his head, "Who would have thought that after Niu was trapped in the Blood Demon Array for hundreds of years, he returned to Zhengqi Grocery Store and found that something had changed, which made Niu Youde feel uneasy. It turns out that Zhengqimen is no longer the Zhengqimen that Niu originally knew. In order to pursue profits, he has forgotten the roots of Zhengqimen! It is true that in business, it is a wise saying that there is no evil in business. Niu also admits that he is not a gentleman. At the beginning, In order to help the grocery store to open up the situation, it is also unscrupulous, but for Niu, thieves have their own ways, and the roots must never be forgotten at any time. No matter how leafy and leafy the roots grow, there is no place for a waste. It can be overthrown as soon as it comes, so why does it last so long?”
The three of them felt the same way about these words. They were all a little excited after hearing this, and felt like they had found a soulmate.
It would be strange if he wasn't excited. Miao Yi's words hit home the three people's thoughts.
However, the three of them did not reveal anything on the surface. The head of Yuling asked: "Does the layman think it is inappropriate for Zhengqimen to make money from the grocery store?"
"There's nothing wrong with me! Otherwise Niu Youde wouldn't have worked so hard for the opening of Zhengqi Grocery Store. How can Zhengqi Family be so deep-rooted and prosperous if it doesn't make money? I just hate that the grocery store makes less money. I wish I could make more, the better. That way I will only get more and more benefits. But again, thieves have their own rules, and even robbers have their own bottom line. How can Zhengqi Grocery abandon its roots?" Miao Yi bowed to the three of them. He cupped his hands and said in a measured tone: "I disagree with some of Taoist Deming's actions!"
Yuxu and Yulian looked at their senior brother, but didn't say a word. After all, that man was his senior brother's son.
The head of Yuling looked a little solemn. How could he feel better after someone criticized his son in front of him? Asked: "Why do you disagree with me?"
Miao Yi immediately informed the three of them in detail what Demingla said as a lobbyist.
After listening, the head of Yuling looked a little distorted, and suppressed his anger and said: "Even if the layman didn't say anything, how could I not know it? My three brothers all know it, but there is nothing they can do about him. Now he is the righteous one." Qimen has gained huge benefits, everyone has benefited, and people want it, and in the name of rectifying the future of Qimen, if the three of us forcefully oppose it, have you ever thought about the consequences? "
Yuxu sighed: "I didn't expect that after a business deal, an honest man would become so scheming. We fell into his trap without realizing it."
Miao Yi asked back: "Does the real person really think that this is Taoist Deming's idea? This is all someone behind the scenes giving him advice. The real person, who is in charge of the Zhengqi Grocery Store, doesn't think that Taoist Deming and Huangfu Junyan from the Qunying Hall are too close. Yet?"
Yu Lian was obsessed with his own affairs at home and didn't care much about other matters, so he was a little unclear about the situation. Yuxu was startled, "What do you mean, layman, that all this was planned by shopkeeper Huangfu behind his back?"
Miao Yi sneered, "Why do you think the blood demon found me this time? Although the blood demon and I have a history, the blood demon doesn't know who I am, and there is no way to find me so quickly. I'm afraid the master doesn't know, I'm on the front foot As soon as I came back and informed him about the real person and the blood demon, Taoist Master Deming told Huangfu Junyan. Then Huangfu Junyan immediately found me and told me that the blood demon was a member of their group of heroes, and he threatened me about the blood demon in person. It forces me to find people from Tianxing Palace to deal with the blood demon this time! If you don’t believe it, you might as well confront Taoist Deming, I don’t think Taoist Deming even bothers to hide this now!”
"Evil son!" The leader of Yuling shivered with anger. This is tantamount to colluding with outsiders to take advantage of him!
Miao Yi raised his hand to stop: "Don't worry, Master, the real culprit of this matter is not Taoist Deming!" He looked at Master Yuxu, "The real culprit is actually Master Yuxu!"
"..." Master Yuxu was speechless, and Master Yuling and Master Yulian were also stunned.
Miao Yi suddenly looked sad and said: "Zhenren is in charge of the grocery store, why do you ignore the affairs of Zhengqi Grocery Store? Why did you let the lifeblood of Zhengqi Grocery Store fall by the wayside? If it weren't for Zhenren's indulgence, how could Taoist Deming have reached this stage today? ?”
Master Yuxu looked ashamed after saying this, and the head of Yuling said: "Junior brother does not know how to do business, and he does not interfere more because he does not want to affect the operations below. The fault is not with junior brother, but with that evil boy!"
Miao Yi immediately retorted, "Does Taoist Master Deming understand it? Who is born to understand it? I don't understand it either, but I didn't bite the bullet and try my best to do it at the beginning. Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do it!"
Yu Lian, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. Now that the layman has spoken out, is there any way to remedy it?"
Miao Yi nodded: "It's not too late to make amends!"
Master Yuxu immediately humbly asked for advice: "Why teach me?"
Miao Yi said: "Zhengqi Grocery Store is now the financial resource of Zhengqi Sect. If it is used well, it will be harmful to Zhengqi Sect. We cannot throw away the children together just to throw the bath water. The development and growth of Zhengqi Grocery Store is not inconsistent with maintaining the orthodoxy of Zhengqi Sect. , but it is indeed useless to do business with a righteous attitude. It depends on whether the real person is willing to sacrifice his reputation and become a profiteer for the sake of righteousness. Of course, it does not mean that the real person is like Taoist Deming, who is being manipulated by outsiders. I don’t care about Zhengqimen’s life and death. The purpose of letting Zhenren become a profiteer is to keep the grocery store firmly in Zhengqimen’s hands and to be used by Zhengqimen, not by others!”
Be a profiteer? Master Yuxu was hesitant. His inability to agree readily was not because he did not want to be a profiteer, but because he was worried that he would not be able to do it.
Yu Ling and Yu Lian looked at each other and felt that this was a bit embarrassing for him. Yu Ling said: "Since the layman has a way, it is better for the layman to take care of it himself. Junior brother really has no experience in this area. We trust the layman."
Miao Yi waved his hands and said: "This has nothing to do with trust or not. Although I am a member of the Zhengqimen, I am still half an outsider. As I just said, the Zhengqi Grocery Store must be in the hands of the Zhengqimen. If it is in my hands one day It has become more powerful, and one day I will be blinded by profit, and I may do something detrimental to my integrity. I have always regarded money as dirt, and I don’t want to become a mercenary person one day. It's better to stay away from interests. The most important thing is that I don't want to be restrained. I am willing to work hard for the Zhengqi Sect, and I am willing to assist Master Yuxu with all my strength. However, I don't want to get involved in power. I hope that the leader will be successful and continue. Let me be a happy layman." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
