The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Yang Lu thought for a while, and felt that what He Mingyuan said was quite reasonable.

The investigation of this counterfeit banknote case was carried out under strict secrecy. Even when Yun Tianhua brazenly arrested people, Liu Hanxing and Lin Jianxing were still kept in the dark. poked out.

And the scope of the comprehension forces that can spread the news at this juncture is actually very small.

According to the subpoenas Yun Tianhua, Su Yuanfeng and others sent to themselves before, when investigating Lin Jianxing’s counterfeit banknote case, Pan’s Trading Company and Lingshi Reserve Bank had checked the transportation records of the ocean-going trading fleet of the Haiya Department. At the stage of handling the case, the specific circumstances of the counterfeit banknote case were already known. Although the whistleblower of the counterfeit banknote case seemed to know far more inside information than the Haiya family "should know", Yang Lu never doubted the Haiya family's Intelligence ability, after all, there are shadows of Tian Daxiao and Tingheyu Pavilion behind the Haiya department!

He has both the motive of committing the crime and intelligence capabilities, which is why He Mingyuan dared to think that it was Haiya who was behind the scenes and wanted to make things bigger without any real evidence.

However, Yang Lu finally shook his head and said, "It's not easy to come to a conclusion on this matter. The Haiya family is only suspected of committing a major crime, but now I feel that Yun Tianhua himself may have stabbed this matter out!"

He Mingyuan said in shock: "Why did Yun Tianhua do this?"

Yang Lu chuckled and said, "Didn't you find out? Yun Tianhua is actually the biggest beneficiary of this leak! Think about it, if you are the Lingshi Reserve Bank, you accidentally find out that your head has messed up Big news, what should you do about it."

He Mingyuan thought for a long time, and finally admitted with a wry smile: "To be honest, I really don't know! No matter how I choose, the result will either be pushed down by Sect Leader Lin, or I will bear the eternal infamy with Sect Leader Lin. Either way, I will be dead." !"

Yang Lu pointed in the direction of the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect and said: "But now Yuntianhua has a third method, as long as this matter is secretly revealed, let everyone know that Lin Jianxing wants to play tricks, and Yuntianhua can do it." Use the power of public opinion to share the pressure on him, thus avoiding the worst result of him resisting Lin Jianxing's will alone."

He Mingyuan still said in disbelief: "Although that's the case, don't everyone say that Yun Tianhua is a good man? That's why he can sit in the position of president..."

The implication of He Mingyuan's words is that a good old man can't use this kind of trick.

But recalling the experience of dealing with Yuntianhua, Yang Lu couldn't help but replied with a smile: "A pure old man can't be the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, even a puppet president! Although Yuntianhua doesn't have much courage, but This doesn't mean that he doesn't have scheming methods, now that there are so many overseas cultivation forces supporting him, won't Yun Tianhua have the confidence to fight against Sect Master Lin!"

"So Yun Tianhua is really suspicious!"

Seeing that He Mingyuan was convinced, Yang Lu waved his hand casually, and changed the subject: "It doesn't matter who stabbed this matter, what matters is, is there any movement from the Wuliang Sword Sect now?"

He Mingyuan replied: "Now the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect should not be too lively. Not only are there a large number of benefit-damaged Cultivation Chambers of Commerce and Cultivation Clans, they go to the gate of the Wuliang Sword Sect to ask for an explanation, and even the Wuliang Sword Sect has a large amount of Lingshi coin deposits. Disciple, I have jointly requested Sect Master Lin to be responsible for the depreciation of Lingshi coins. There are many disciples of Human Sword and Asura Sword among them. In addition, I also heard that the six overseas sects and the six extreme northern sects have sent representatives here Headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect."

Yang Lu frowned and said, "Has the overseas sect openly intervened in this matter?"

"Well, it is said that several overseas sect representatives have come to Zhongzhou recently. After all, the third Lingshi financial crisis is not far away, and the number of Lingshi coins held by those overseas sects is also quite large. Everyone takes the opportunity to make troubles. Sect leader Lin is a On the one hand, on the other hand, they are really afraid that Lin Jianxing will instruct the Lingshi Reserve Bank to do something foolish and turn the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years into waste paper!"

"It seems that these overseas sects didn't realize the spirit stone coins in their hands as soon as possible!"

"The Lingshi Reserve Bank has issued so many Lingshi coins in the past 500 years. Even if they want to cash out, they don't have so many channels. What's more, people in the cultivation world are panicking now, and many places have already rejected Lingshi coins."

"Hehe, this is the rhythm of collectively forcing the palace!"

He Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. It is said that some emotional protesters at the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect have already blatantly shouted slogans such as dismissing Lin Jianxing! Of course, Zhongzhou is protected by a continent-level magic barrier. Without the permission of the Wuliang Sword Sect, If the Overseas Yuanying Patriarch wants to forcibly enter Zhongzhou to force the palace, he needs to wear down a gap in Zhongzhou's mainland-level magic barrier. It will take half a year to do it. Therefore, no one can really threaten Lin Zhang for the time being. It’s just a mouthful!”

"Even so, this phenomenon is very wrong!"

Hearing what He Mingyuan said, Yang Lu was also shocked.

As we all know, the ordinary cultivators in the cultivation world are all refined egoists. Everyone dares to get together to make a fuss, which is to bet that the Wuliang Sword Sect will not blame the public, but if Lin Jianxing is called to step down, the nature of the matter will change.

At that time, if the iron fist really comes down, we must find some unlucky ghosts to make an example to others.

At such a critical moment, calling out such death slogans to act as a leader is not in line with the usual wretched style of Kyushu cultivators. Even if they are all beaten by Lin Jianxing, most people will just wait for others to take their place. Get ahead.

This is not to say that cultivators are inherently cowardly, but without such a survival philosophy of being wise and protecting themselves, most of them would have died in the battlefield outside the territory. According to Yang Lu, this is also a reverse elimination screening mechanism!

It’s also very interesting to say that among the many novels written by President Lu Yang in the Kyushu cultivation world, the most popular work is a work called "The Legend of X Man's Cultivation of Immortals". The protagonist of this work, Old Demon Han , is the kind of character that will take the initiative to shrink back when encountering things, and then push teammates to die, and this work can achieve such a great success because it coincides with the wretched psychology of a cultivator who never takes the lead. Although in the real world, the result of this kind of psychology is often to die together...

After pondering for a while, Yang Lu made his own judgment: "Since someone took the lead in making trouble, there must be someone behind the scene!"

Hearing Yang Lu's judgment, He Mingyuan did not give a clear attitude on the spot this time: "Even if there are indeed overseas sects instigating this matter, it is impossible for outsiders to find solid evidence, but anyway, the officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect are now So determined. In order to prevent chaos in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou, the Wuliang Sword Sect has recently declared martial law in the Wuliang Mountains, and closed all external ports in Zhongzhou, prohibiting monks from overseas sects from interfering in Zhongzhou. However, Lin Jianxing’s order has no control over the sea. Yacheng, so those overseas monks who have not cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage can still enter and exit freely from Haiya Port, and the Nascent Soul stage monks need the authorization of the Presbyterian Council of the Infinite Sword Sect to enter and exit the mainland barrier, and Yang Chenglong does not have this authority..."

"Doesn't this make Lin Jianxing angry?"

"Isn't it? According to gossip, when Lin Jianxing presided over the emergency meeting of the high-level Wuliangjian faction, he once again angrily denounced the behavior of the Haiya faction for disrespecting the order of the Wuliangjian faction, and called Haiya city the city of compradors!"

"Hey, our City Lord Jiang has long been used to being hacked, and we are not bad for this crime!"

"Sect Leader Lin has just had his mouth full now. He doesn't even dare to go out of the Wuliang Sword Sect now. After all, there are quite a few troublemakers outside who want to die with him!"

Yang Lu couldn't help mocking and said: "No way, if Master Lin denies the validity of the counterfeit banknotes, those sects under his command can't afford to compensate such a huge loss, and those sects who are born out of the world are afraid that they will explode in place, and now things have become a mess. It’s so big, even if he succeeds in forcing the Lingshi Reserve Bank to recognize the validity of counterfeit banknotes, everyone will think that the Lingshi Reserve Bank has become a cash machine for the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the credit of Lingshi coins will still completely collapse..."

He Mingyuan asked curiously: "If you are the head of Lin, how do you plan to solve the predicament?"

Yang Lu spread his hands and said: "No one can solve it. The social governance structure and distribution mechanism of Zhongzhou have long been problematic. It only takes one spark to detonate the powder keg. The Pandora's Box has already been opened. If President Li Qingyang hadn't left a hand, there might be a big problem in the Zhongzhou cultivation world at that time. However, the current head Lin has no usable cards at all, but the crisis is in a short period of time. The second time it was detonated, unless Immortal Feisheng can also leave a few cards for the descendants of the Wuliang Sword Sect like President Li Qingyang did, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, it is inconvenient for Yang Lu to continue talking.

Because the three Ascending Immortals seem to have really left a hole card for future generations, but this hole card is not for Lin Jianxing, but for himself, a junior earth traveler, and it is impossible for Lin Jianxing to get it.

Seeing Yang Lu hesitated to speak, He Mingyuan frowned and said, "Could it be that Sect Leader Lin has no choice but to take the blame and resign?"

However, before Yang Lu could reply, a third voice came from the room, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be the right time for us to drive Lin Jianxing down and make Mo Yunlan the head? "

Hearing such arrogant remarks, Yang Lu and He Mingyuan quickly turned their heads to look, only to find that a monk of the Wuliang Sword School dressed as a swordsman appeared in the room at some time like a ghost.

When he found out that the secret meeting of his chamber of commerce was overheard, He Mingyuan was shocked and said, "Who the hell are you? How could you bypass the prohibition of our Qingning chamber of commerce and appear here?"

However, Mingzhu didn't even look at him, so he smiled and said to Yang Lu: "Consultant Yang, your Qingning Chamber of Commerce is really eclectic in reducing talents, and you actually let mere mortals act as the second in command of the Chamber of Commerce. There have been quite a few Cultivation Chambers of Commerce for gloves hundreds of years ago, but I have never seen one that is fully authorized to mortals like you."

Yang Lu actually wanted to say that He Mingyuan was at most the third leader, and the leader of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was actually Li Qingning.

However, since Mingzhu Patriarch hadn't figured out whose business the Qingning Chamber of Commerce belonged to, and Li Qingning had already gone to the Haiya faction's cave for retreat, Yang Lu naturally didn't intend to introduce Li Qingning to Mingzhu.

After all, Yang Lu and Mingzhu are just a partnership now, and Mingzhu's ancestor Yuanying-level combat power is like a bug in the entire Zhongzhou Continent. It may not be possible to beat this guy, so the game status of the two sides can be said to be very unequal.

Under such circumstances, it is certainly impossible for Yang Lu to take the initiative to expose his weakness to the other party.

So he did not refute, but took the initiative to introduce: "Guan He is an old man of our chamber of commerce, and his ability and loyalty are not bad. You don't need to be nervous, Guanshi He. This is Mr. Hong, the guest of our Qingning chamber of commerce!"

Over the years, Guanshi He has dealt with countless cultivators.

Seeing that Ming Zhu's tone was extremely loud, and that it happened hundreds of years ago, He Mingyuan was also very curious about the identity of the other party, but seeing that Yang Lu had no intention of introducing him at all, he only thought that this was another person like Lin Musen and Lin Muhu. So he bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, He Mingyuan, met Mr. Hong!"

The world of comprehension has developed for so many years, but many habits are actually different from those thousands of years ago.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the ranks of the cultivation world were much stricter than it is now. Not to mention that ordinary people could not hold their heads up in front of cultivators. Even cultivators with different spiritual roots have different identities. A cultivator with this kind of mid-level spiritual root qualification has no possibility of cultivating to the golden core stage at all.

However, with the development of commerce, capitalist groups such as the Haiya family gradually appeared in Kyushu.

With the differentiation of financial resources of cultivators, capital has gradually become an important factor in determining their status. Not only many grassroots cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots gradually lose their sense of superiority when facing the children of low-grade spiritual roots, even many Ordinary people with high authority gradually have the right to speak in front of the practitioners, and even gain the personal attachment of the practitioners.

As the chief steward of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, He Mingyuan is already a mortal boss in Haiya City second only to Han Fulai.

With his status, he is completely able to talk with other cultivators in the ordinary Qi refining period, so facing Mingzhu whose identity is unknown, this greeting can be regarded as neither humble nor overbearing.But if He Mingyuan knew that the middle-aged monk of the Wuliang Sword Sect in front of him was actually an ancient Yuanying Patriarch, he would probably faint from fright by now...

Fortunately, although Mingzhu is the ancestor of Yuanying, after all, he has been a prisoner for more than 200 years, and his lifespan is about to run out, so he doesn't care about red tape for a long time. Seeing this kind of arrogant attitude, even if it is because of bad merit, some disciples and grandchildren who want to flatter will notice this, and will take the initiative to jump out and punish He Mingyuan...
