The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Although Zhu Ziming felt that something was wrong, he was also afraid that Yang Lu would change his mind again, so he had to agree temporarily.

As the proposer, Yang Lu naturally had nothing to say. He swore to Zhu Ziming on the spot that he would not disclose the matter to Ma Kezhang. He was humiliating himself, and fled without even saying hello.

He still couldn't figure out how his plan of killing two birds with one stone was seen through. Could it be that Yang Lu really had his eyes open?
He Mingyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

This time it was Zhu Ziming who came to blackmail the Qingning Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Wuliangjian Sect. How could it be that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce turned to blackmail Zhu Ziming without a few words?

After Zhu Ziming's figure completely disappeared, He Mingyuan asked as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Consultant Yang, forgive me for my shallow knowledge, how did you manage to control Zhu Ziming? Could it be that the letter written by Ma Kezhang was really his?" Forged?"

Lin Musen shook his head and said, "The magic imprint of that letter was indeed written by a monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Zhu Ziming has not yet been able to forge it, and no one in the entire Haiya City dares to help with this."

Lin Musen and He Mingyuan are not fools, but without the key information provided by Yang Chenglong, they can't guess that this letter was actually written by Ma Kezhang in a fit of anger.

Although Ma Kezhang did not mention this letter to Yang Chenglong, he expressed his attitude that he would not be dragged into the water by Zhu Ziming. Therefore, although Yang Lu did not know the specific origin of this letter, he was sure that Ma Kezhang had absolutely no intention of exerting pressure Finally, he was [-]% sure that the content of this letter was definitely not from Ma Kezhang's original intention.

That being the case, it doesn't matter how the letter came about, because without a real hammer, Ma Kezhang would never easily admit that he wrote such a thing behind the back of the Haiya Department.

It can also be seen from this point that Zhu Ziming's gimmick played by relying on information asymmetry is actually quite powerful. People who don't know the inside story can easily be bluffed by him, thinking that Ma Kezhang is already going to put pressure on behalf of the Wuliangjian faction. .

It's just that he never expected that Yang Lu's information asymmetry was even more severe than his, and in the end, his good plan of killing two birds with one stone turned into shooting himself in the foot with a cloud of fire and fine gold.

In addition, Zhu Ziming's psychological quality is not very good.

Yang Lu was actually only [-]% sure of his judgment, but Zhu Ziming showed a guilty expression when he saw that he was probing casually. He immediately realized that he might be right, so Zhu Ziming only used three After two rounds, Yang Lu completely lost his position under Yang Lu's fierce pursuit.

But these contents involve his biggest secret, not to mention Lin Musen and He Mingyuan, even if Miss Li hadn't joined his gang in the foreign battlefield, Yang Lu would not have told her about Yang Chenglong's undercover identity.

This time when Zhu Ziming came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, Yang Lu asked Lin Musen and He Mingyuan to send a message to Zhu Ziming immediately, but did not give them a chance to inform Li Qingning, because he was worried that Li Qingning would not like Zhu Ziming's pretentious behavior when he knew about it. Before the opponent showed his real hole card, he got angry and directly brought out Yang Chenglong to force the opponent.

Although Yang Chenglong can indeed suppress Zhu Ziming, it is too easy to arouse suspicion that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce commanded the representative of the law enforcement hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Lin Musen, He Mingyuan, and Zhu Ziming are not fools, so it is easy to guess To the tricks of it.

Now seeing that He Mingyuan suddenly asked about the secret behind this matter, and even Lin Musen cast a consulting look, Yang Lu just showed an inscrutable smile and said: "This is indeed Zhu Ziming's trick, but He's still too young!"

Seeing that Yang Lu was unwilling to give a clear answer, He Mingyuan had no choice but to change the subject and said, "But Consultant Yang, that Zhu Ziming was clearly terrified of confronting Ma Kezhang just now, why did you take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water and let it go lightly?" people?"

Yang Lu leaned back on his chair, and said with a smile, "If you can trick him into signing an alliance under the city, it's already pretty good!"

He Mingyuan wondered: "Cheat? I think he just took a big advantage in his eagerness to swear. You can actually offer a higher price!"

Yang Lu shook his head and said: "Zhu Ziming is willing to give in, mainly because the last thing Ma Kezhang wants to see is to be dragged into trouble by Zhu Ziming's tricks, but the crux of the problem is that the letter written by Ma Kezhang is gone. what!"

"what do you mean……"

"If Ma Kezhang asks, Zhu Ziming can completely evade and say that he did threaten me with that letter, but in order not to drag Deacon Ma into trouble, he himself destroyed the letter afterwards, even you don't believe me Dare to burn Ma Kezhang's personal letter, let alone Ma Kezhang himself?"

"How can this be explained?"

Yang Lu spread his hands and said: "This sounds more reliable than I directly burned Ma Kezhang's letter! Zhu Ziming can even say that he used this strategy to get things done without giving Ma Kezhang If you cause trouble, then Ma Kezhang will not only not blame him, but maybe even praise him for his proper handling of affairs!"

He Mingyuan was dumbfounded and said, "Is this okay?"

"Of course it can be done! I didn't expect Zhu Ziming to show me such a trick suddenly. He didn't prepare the photo stone in advance, otherwise he would definitely be unable to eat it. However, the world has no medicine for regret, since he didn't take the opportunity to catch him. , we can only take advantage of his unresponsiveness, and take advantage of the opportunity to squeeze his wool. If the conditions offered are too harsh, we will have nothing to talk about when Zhu Ziming thinks about it! At least we don’t have to worry about Zhu Ziming recently. Tomorrow will cause trouble!"

Lin Musen couldn't help but interjected: "Consultant Yang, do you think Zhu Ziming can realize that he was cheated?"

Yang Lu smacked his lips and said, "Zhu Ziming is still a bit crooked, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come up with such a slanted way to solve the problem, and even you all think that the conditions I offered are too flimsy, Zhu Ziming must also agree. Realizing that something is wrong, after he calms down, he should be able to figure it out!"

Lin Musen saw that Yang Lu had fooled Zhu Ziming into a daze, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "I finally understand why the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has less than ten cultivators in total, so they can be equal to the Haiya faction Communication, Consultant Yang's methods are really powerful!"

Yang Lu just wanted to say a few words of modesty, but Zhu Ziming's lion's roar suddenly came from the direction of the gate of Qingning Chamber of Commerce: "Yang Lu! How dare you lie to me——"

Yang Lu spread out his hands, showing an expression of "what did I say?", and immediately responded with a lion's roar: "Master Zhu, my eldest lady is still practicing in seclusion! You have sworn to heaven, never If you come to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to make trouble, if you yell a few more words, I'm afraid you will go crazy on the spot!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ziming swears as if he had suddenly realized, and then he didn't say anything more.

Everyone realized at this moment that his violent drinking just now might have been judged by Tiandao as a troublesome behavior, and his merits were also deducted, otherwise he would never have been so silent.

……

Even though Zhu Ziming was cheated, he couldn't even scold him back, and almost got internal injuries, but the problem that should be solved still had to be solved.

After meeting with Yang Chenglong, Ma Kezhang, and Yang Lu one after another, Zhu Ziming successively visited Xu Yannan, Fang Jiancai, Han Xinhe, Su Yuanfeng and other leading figures in the cultivation world of Haiya City.

However, these guys don’t need to give face to the mere Zhujiashang. Except for Xu Yannan who dealt with him casually, the other big bosses didn’t even see him at all. Auction/killing and seizing treasure", and sent him away very perfunctorily.

After finding that complaints through normal channels were completely useless, Zhu Ziming could only find a solution from other angles.

It is impossible to find Liu Hanxing to complain, because the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is a replaceable consumable in front of Liu Hanxing. However, Zhu Ziming's first choice was to abscond overseas instead of seeking help from Liu Hanxing.

The Zhu family cannot afford the risk of being abandoned by Liu Hanxing!
But just like what Yang Lu said, Zhu Ziming is really a bit crooked. Faced with this seemingly incomprehensible desperate situation, Zhu Ziming really wanted to come up with some sideways ideas.

Although most of the Zhongzhou Cultivation Chamber of Commerce are under pressure and dare not lend money to Zhu Ziming casually, not all of them are afraid to lick their blood. woke up:

There is really a chamber of commerce in Kyushu's cultivation world that will and must help him, and that is the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce under Liu Hanxing's name!
Zhu Ziming didn't dare to ask Liu Hanxing himself for help, but that didn't mean he couldn't collude with the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Speaking of which, the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Ziming are also old friends.

The first nomination certificate that Zhu Ziming paid to Liu Hanxing was to smuggle spiritual energy mines from Haiya port to destroy the nine-turn Tianshu formation in Tianshu City.

Later, when the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce participated in the official shantang partner review of the Wuliang Sword Sect, it was also the Liujia Chamber of Commerce that invested 300 million Lingshi coins in cash, accounting for [-]% of the shares of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, it is said that the Liujia Chamber of Commerce is the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. The major shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce is not an exaggeration.

Since it was not the first time for the two parties to cooperate, Zhu Ziming came to Tianshu City immediately and found Liu Qi, the highest person in charge of the southeast region of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Compared with Zhu Ziming, Liu Qi, who is part of the Liu family, is Liu Hanxing's true confidant. Even if a big basket was poked out in the turmoil of Tianshu City, which led to the leak of information on the operation, Liu Hanxing did not remove Liu Qi's position, so it is also It can be seen its status in the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce.But Liu Qi also knew that he made a big mistake in the Tianshu City incident, and since then, he has become more and more cautious in doing things.

After receiving Zhu Ziming's request, Liu Qi didn't want to help at first.

After all, Liu Qi is also very clear that the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system is a hot potato. I don't know how many eyes are staring at it. If it fails, he will at least bear half of the blame.

So he immediately found an excuse to shirk, saying that the assets of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce were Liu Hanxing's private property, and without Liu Hanxing's permission, he could not approve the loan of several million Lingshi coins to the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, which was beyond the limit. the extent of his authority.

However, Zhu Ziming did not let him go easily.

Compared with political allies such as Ma Kezhang and Yang Chenglong, Liu Qi can only be regarded as Liu Hanxing's retainer.

No matter how bad Ma Kezhang and Yang Chenglong are, as long as they don't make political mistakes, they are still decent monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect's foundation period, and they are also the backbone of the entire sect. Even Liu Hanxing can't easily do anything to them, but if Liu Han Xing was dissatisfied with Liu Qi, so he could really punish him to death.

After all, Liu Qi's official identity is only Qingyunzong's low-grade spiritual root outer disciple, and even the clone of this outer disciple is actually Liu Hanxing's personal relationship with Qingyunzong's head Xia Qingyang, who gave him the back door The reason is that the outer disciples of ordinary local sects are all busy working in their respective sects. It is impossible for local sects to send their own disciples to other places to work for other chambers of commerce.

Zhu Ziming grasped this point firmly, saying that everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If you, shopkeeper Liu, don't help your brothers now, and then President Liu will be held accountable for the unfavorable reform pilot, I wish Ziming Although it is definitely over, you, the person in charge of the southeast region of the Liujia Chamber of Commerce who did not lend money to the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, will probably be to blame.

Faced with Zhu Ziming's coercion and lure, shopkeeper Liu finally compromised. In order to send Zhu Ziming away quickly, shopkeeper Liu proposed a compromise plan, which was to introduce Zhu Ziming to several underground banks operated by foreign forces in Nanman Prefecture channel.

These foreign forces are not afraid of offending the vassal sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect. As long as Lilan is high enough, they are willing to do any business. If Liu Qi hadn't been handling overseas business for the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce all the year round, he would not have such a special channel.

But shopkeeper Liu is only responsible for matchmaking, he himself will never participate in the business of the underground bank, so no matter whether Zhu Ziming's philanthropic hall can be built or not, he, Liu Qi, does not have to bear the responsibility.

Looking for a usury loan from an underground bank, the interest rate must be very high, but money is a hero, and without enough Lingshi coins in hand, Zhu Ziming can't afford to worry about things at all.

After Liu Qi repeatedly stated that this was already his bottom line, Zhu Ziming had no choice but to find an underground bank of foreign forces in his own name, and borrowed 200 million Lingshi coins at usury.

Not only that, the underground bank also forced Zhu Ziming to sign the most stringent loan contract. The merits of signing the contract alone are quite expensive. If Zhu Ziming is unable to repay the debt, he will only end up in a state of madness.

This is not aimed at Zhu Ziming, but the rules of underground banks have always been like this.

Through this kind of strict Heavenly Dao contract, even if the debtor does not have the money from the underground bank, the underground bank can still obtain the heavenly merit of slaying demons and demons by beheading the obsessed debtor.

This can also be regarded as a merit mortgage loan with the characteristics of self-cultivation...
