The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 159 Aftermath
At the same time when the big case of Tianshu City caused an uproar, the instigator, Yang Lu, lived quite comfortably.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes well——

Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes!
Sea Cliff City, where all forces are intertwined, is like an arsenal full of gunpowder. It only needs a little spark to detonate an extremely amazing energy.

What's more, the big case of Tianshu City was a vicious event that shocked the entire Zhongzhou. Even the "Cultivation Finance Weekly" published two consecutive front pages for discussion. Without Yang Lu's continued promotion, the incident could escalate and escalate on its own.

At the moment when Zhu Ziming was in a state of desperation, Yang Lu honestly hid in the backyard of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. While chatting and playing chess with his beautiful lady, he also watched the chaotic situation in Haiya City with cold eyes.

Although the confrontation between several major forces was extremely fierce, the overall development of the situation was still firmly in the hands of Yang Lu.

Although he has been staying in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce honestly on the surface and has not gone out, relying on the secret communication channels he has established with core figures such as Chen Ming, Fang Jiancai, Han Xinhe, and Su Yuanfeng, he can always use his own influence at critical moments. Push the waves to fuel the flames and guide the chaotic situation in the direction that is most beneficial to you.

This is like the butterflies in the Amazon rainforest, as long as they flap their wings a little at the right position, they can cause violent winds and huge waves thousands of miles away. His attitude and decision-making were actually subtly influenced by an early Qi refining monk in Haiya City in an indirect way.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that no one knows the truth.

Li Qingning, who was enthusiastically introducing the situation of Haiya City in front of Yang Lu, was the only exception.

She could probably guess that Yang Lu was behind this major case. After all, it was Yang Lu who first asked her to pass on the key information that changed the direction of the incident to Fang Jian.

Since Yang Lu was able to predict the coming of the beast horde in advance, he obviously played a key role in this incident.

And whether it was the demon pill worth more than 20 Lingshi coins brought back by Yang Lu, or the inexplicable favor of the Far East Chamber of Commerce and Tianshu City, it all showed that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was the biggest hidden beneficiary of the Tianshu City incident.

Li Qingning's personality is simple, not because she has a bad brain. She soon realized that these changes were brought about by Yang Lu for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. She was lying if she was not curious.

However, every time she asked Yang Lu about the details, Yang Lu would only perfunctory her with a smiling expression.

If another person played this deep trick with the eldest lady, Li Qingning would have smashed the opponent's dog's head with a straight punch, but as Yang Lu showed his ability to turn decay into magic, he saved the Qingning Chamber of Commerce from the fire and water. In the movie, Li Qingning has already developed an inexplicable sense of dependence on Yang Lu, and for the first time, she didn't break the casserole and ask the end. Even she herself didn't realize this subconscious change.

Today's Li Qingning is used to asking Yang Lu for advice on all kinds of trivial matters.

For this situation, Yang Lu certainly raised his hands to welcome it.

If it were on the earth, he would want to find beautiful women to chat with him, and he might have to go to places like maid cafes to pay for it, and for a beautiful woman like Li Qingning, he would not spend any money to hire him. Come.

There are beautiful bosses who take the initiative to harass me, let alone small talk, even "996" is a blessing!
Seeing Li Qingning's talkative appearance, Yang Lu couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Miss, I heard that you just went to Haiya City Lord's Mansion to meet Elder Han Xinhe, how is your discussion going?"

When mentioning this matter, Li Qingning's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Elder Han offered to strengthen the cooperation between the Haiya Department and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, but because of the incident in Tianshu City, the entire Haiya Department is in a state of distress, and it may be temporarily ignored. I can't do this..."

"As long as the interests of both parties are closely tied, it will be more difficult for the Haiya faction to cut us off after encountering an incident." Yang Lu nodded, and then asked another question, "Han Xinhe is in charge of the law enforcement hall of the Haiya faction. If the Ya Department wants to take action against the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, it should be done through his channel, has there been any movement from them?"

As Lu Anping's white glove, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's backstabbing behavior of "undertaking the upper hand" has seriously violated the unspoken rules of the Kyushu cultivation world. Not only the Duzhitang cannot spare them, but other neutral forces cannot tolerate such traitors.

This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the ruling class of the cultivation world!
As an ally of Duzhitang, the Haiya family should take thunderous action against the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.

However, Li Qingning shook his head and said helplessly, "After the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce reported Lu Anping to Liu Hanxing, Liu Hanxing has represented the Wuliang Sword Sect and announced that the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is an important witness and accepted the official protection of the Wuliang Sword School."

This result was not what Yang Lu expected.

Zhu Ziming was well aware of the consequences of backstabbing Lu Anping, but he still chose to attack brazenly. On the one hand, he was forced to a dead end by Yang Lu, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Liu Hanxing would come forward to save him.

Liu Hanxing's highest goal is to completely prove Lu Anping's charges.Therefore, Liu Hanxing used the highest authority of the Wuliang Sword Sect to protect the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce under the pretext of protecting the witnesses. This would not only prevent Lu Anping from murdering people, but also secretly protect the people who worked for him, and it would not arouse suspicion.

This is undoubtedly a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Noticing that Yang Lu's expression hadn't changed, Li Qingning couldn't help asking curiously, "Yang Lu, did you know this would happen a long time ago? Just let Zhu Ziming get away with it, isn't it too cheap for him?"

Seeing Li Qingning's eager face, Yang Lu laughed a little and said, "Forging iron requires hard work. The development of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the most important thing. Cleaning up the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is just an incidental goal. What's more... Liu Hanxing thinks it will be smooth sailing If you keep the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, you won’t arouse others’ suspicion, but the Gongde Hall and the Mountain Eagle Sect may not buy him!”

Liu Hanxing didn't know, because of Yang Lu's instigation, Fang Jiancai and Chen Ming had long believed that he was the mastermind behind the scenes. Seeing Liu Hanxing protecting the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, Gongdetang would only suspect that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce was Liu Hanxing's faction Go undercover.

Although Li Qingning didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, seeing Liu Hanxing, the Haiya faction, and the Duzhitang three parties accusing each other was very lively, but the Gongdetang, as the sufferer, never made a sound, and knew that there must be something wrong.

In fact, it's not that Gongdetang doesn't want to speak out, but that it has no position to speak out. Chen Ming and Fang Jiancai have neither evidence nor investigative capabilities. Even if they knew that Liu Hanxing was behind the incident in Tianshu City, they couldn't jump out and make accusations publicly.

But Cheng Shuying also showed his political wisdom this time.

He didn't hold on to the mastermind behind the Tianshu City incident, because it would be meaningless to restore his reputation, so he devoted his energy to fighting for material compensation from the Wuliangjian Sect for the Mountain Eagle Sect.

His reason is also very high-sounding:

The Black Pool Flood King is a monster fostered by the Wuliang Sword Sect in the Tianshu Mountains Nature Reserve. This beast suddenly went berserk and caused chaos in Tianshu City. All lost.

As the overlord of Zhongzhou, the Wuliang Sword Sect would not agree to the unreasonable demands of the Mountain Eagle Sect under normal circumstances.

After all, the Flood Dragon King of the Black Pool is just a mere monster in the early stage of Jindan. It is obvious that you Shanying faction showed your hips and failed to fulfill the responsibility of defending the soil. Now you still have the face to seek compensation from the Wuliang Sword faction?
However, in order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, Mo Yunlan, the financial director of the Wuliangjian Sect, actually supported Cheng Shuying's proposal. When the other Nascent Soul stage monks had no intention of standing in line, even Lin Jianxing had no position to stop it.

In the end, the Shanying faction won the preferential tax policy of "reducing all offerings for the next three years". Finally, Cheng Shuying, who lost his face, reluctantly moved back to the first round, proving that he still has the ability to protect his little brother.
