Chapter 92
Grasp the weak spot tightly, hit the snake seven inches
Dare to ask the enemy how to deal with the future?Said: First take what you love, then listen.

Everything has a key point, just like every martial arts practitioner has a "fate gate" related to life and death, grasping these key points and taking corresponding measures can save a lot of unnecessary waste. "Take what you love" means attacking the opponent's vital points. In layman's terms, it means "strike the snake and hit the seven inches", "grab the knife and grab the handle". and handle.

Zhu Bo in the Han Dynasty was originally born as a general, but was later transferred to Zuo Fengyi.He used some ingenious means to subdue the local evil forces, and was passed down as a good story.In the Changling area, there was a man named Shang Fangjin who came from a rich family.When he was young, he had raped other people's wives and was slashed on the cheek with a knife.Such a villain should have been severely punished, but he bribed the government's meritorious service. Not only was he not dismissed from his post and investigated, but he was promoted to a guard.

After Zhu Bo took office, someone reported the matter to him.Zhu Bo felt that this matter was too absurd, so he summoned Shang Fangjin.Shang Fangjin felt agitated in his heart, so he bit the bullet and came to see Zhu Bo.Zhu Bo carefully looked at Shang Fangjin's face, and sure enough, he found a scar, so he asked his attendants to leave, pretending to be very concerned and asking what happened.

Knowing that Zhu Bo had already understood his situation, Shang Fangjin kowtowed to Zhu Bo one after another like a chicken pecking at rice, truthfully told what happened, and begged Zhu Bo for forgiveness.He didn't dare to lift his head, but kept pleading: "Please forgive me, my lord, and I will never do such outrageous things again."

"Hahaha..." Zhu Bo laughed suddenly, "Manly man, this kind of thing will inevitably happen. I want to avenge your shame and give you a chance to make meritorious service. Will you serve?"

Therefore, Zhu Bo ordered Shang Fang not to disclose the content of this conversation to anyone, and asked him to record some remarks of other officials and report to himself in time.From then on, Shang Fangjin became Zhu Bo's eyes and ears.

Ever since he was released by Zhu Bo and reused, Shang Fangjin has kept Zhu Bo's great kindness in his heart, and worked hard. Soon, many crimes such as theft and rape were solved, which greatly improved the local security situation.Zhu Bo then promoted him to the county magistrate.After quite a while, Zhu Bo suddenly summoned the meritorious man who had accepted bribes from Shangfang, gave him a severe reprimand, took out a pen and paper, and asked the meritorious man to write down all his bribery. There can be no concealment.The meritorious Cao was so frightened that he had no choice but to pick up his pen and write down his bad deeds.

Zhu Bo already knew about this meritorious man's embezzlement and bribery from Shang Fangjin. After reading the confession materials written by Gongcao, he felt that it was not bad, so he said to him: "Go back and reflect on yourself first, and wait for the verdict. From now on , we must mend our ways and refrain from misbehavior!" After speaking, he drew out his knife.

Seeing Zhu Bo draw the saber, the meritorious officer was so frightened that his legs went limp, he bowed and bowed, and kept shouting, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" Zhu Bo swung the saber and grabbed it. He picked up the incriminating materials written by the meritorious Cao, tore them into scraps of paper and threw them away.Since then, that meritorious man has been walking on thin ice all day long, trembling with fear, working diligently and responsibly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Zhu Bo's wisdom is that he is good at exploiting other people's weaknesses to make a big fuss. For a villain like Shang Fangjin, if he threatens him with the things he worries and fears most, it is not difficult to subdue him.

Everyone has weaknesses, just like no matter how tight the formation is on the battlefield, there are loopholes, and there is always a way to crack it.A weakness is usually an insecure, uncontrollable emotion or need, or it can be a small secret preference.No matter what the situation is, once you find this weakness, it may become a "tool of torture" that restrains your strengths and strengths.

Stupid people always show these "instruments of torture" in front of the world without any scruples, while smart people are good at hiding their weaknesses skillfully, discovering the weaknesses of others, and holding them tightly in their own hands. Only by doing this can we use our energy on the cutting edge and achieve our own expectations and goals.Otherwise, you will only touch some irrelevant parts, and the result of the matter will be greatly reduced.
