Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4011 (Four Thousand and Eleven) Want

The situation was completely within her expectations, and everyone in Tiecang who answered said they believed it.

However, Tie Hongyan knew that if she used some of the "tricks" they had mentioned before to create the illusion, she would be restricted in her operation, and she would have to spend more time and be more careful. If something was not done perfectly, problems would easily arise. She naturally did not want to be restricted when transferring the blue-armored man. Therefore, she did not want to do it according to the "tricks" they had mentioned, but she had to express this idea first to see how they reacted. So, she asked the Tiecang people if they believed that she had come up with a more interesting method.

Those people expressed their belief.

Tie Hongyan knew that if the number of blue-armored people transferred in each batch was small and if more batches were transferred, it would take longer. She naturally hoped to complete it as soon as possible, but she did not intend to say what to do next or do it without saying hello to other Tiecang people. She wanted to lead those Tiecang people to say things consistent with the method she originally wanted to choose. She asked those Tiecang people whether they thought it would be more convenient to deal with the blue-armored people one by one or in batches.

Before she asked this question, she was not sure that the answer in the hearts of those Tiecang people was what she wanted, but she also thought of the legends about herself. In the legends about her torturing the blue-armored people to death, she often killed them in batches. At this time, she felt that the Tiecang people might deliberately answer that it would be more satisfying to kill them in batches because they had heard such a statement. She also knew that no matter what the Tiecang people thought in their hearts, in front of her, they would tend to give the answer they thought she wanted.

The reason why Tie Hongyan could think of this is inseparable from her familiarity with the environment of Tiecangting. In this place, many people have developed the habit of saying what they think the other party wants to hear in front of more powerful people in order to protect themselves. Especially when facing Tie Wandao, many times, what those Tiecang people think in their hearts seems to be no longer so important, and their inner thoughts are difficult to be heard by others. Even they themselves think that it is more important to accurately guess Tie Wandao's thoughts than to express their true thoughts, because this is related to their future and even their lives. Many people know that Tie Wandao is very face-conscious. They often guess what he wants to hear and then say it, and use this method to make Tie Wandao look more face-conscious.

Those people from Tiecang who were not familiar with Tie Hongyan saw that Tie Hongyan also looked very majestic, so they easily thought that she and Tie Wandao were the same in this regard. Those people had also heard about Tie Wandao punishing some people from Tiecang who said things he didn't want to hear, so they naturally thought that if they said something they shouldn't say in front of Tie Hongyan, they would probably get a similar result.

The reason why they thought so was not only because they knew that Tie Wandao would punish some Tiecang people who said things he didn't want to hear, nor was it only because they felt that Tie Hongyan and Tie Wandao might be similar in this respect. They knew that many people in Tiecang Court were like this in their daily lives. Even in front of people who were not much higher in status than themselves, they would still worry that they would be punished if they said something the other party didn't want to hear. This worry made many people accustomed to guessing what other people meant.
