ps: (Thanks to Magic Master 001 for his valuable monthly vote)
Of course Ma Mingyuan knows how to choose. He once served as Yuan Shikai's personal guard. If Yuan Shikai were to deal with it, Lao Yuan would probably let him go. The matter of fraud for personal gain can be big or small. If the matter gets serious, Lao Yuan will say for the sake of his own image.
Maybe he was sacrificed.
The crowd in the school was very excited. If there was a trial on the spot, with all the witnesses and evidence available, he would not be able to escape. If he were allowed to go back to Lao Yuan and obscure the matter, he could no longer stay in Baoding Military Academy but could save his life.
Ma Mingyuan didn't know why Chen Hao asked this, he said vaguely: "What do you mean?"
Chen Hao said calmly: "You work under Lord Gongbao, so I can't punish you. If you admit that you have neglected your duty and honestly admit how much money you have received, I can let you withdraw the money and leave. If you don't admit it, then I will
Call the witnesses over, confirm your guilt, report it to Mr. Gongbao, and deal with it in accordance with school regulations."
Ma Mingyuan showed a look of gratitude on his face and said quickly: "I accepted the Xuanyuan Sword for 300 oceans. I was wrong about this. I will go to Mr. Gong Bao to take the blame."
Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Xuanyuan Jian's testimony was concocted by him, and now that Xuanyuan Jian had "committed suicide out of fear of crime", he would definitely be questioned and his reputation would be reduced if he went to find witnesses. Ma Mingyuan took the initiative to plead guilty and admitted to accepting it.
Xuanyuan Jian's bribery and Xuanyuan Jian's death are irrelevant.
This is cheaper for Ma Mingyuan, but it is Chen Hao's best choice. It can not only avoid witnessing the death of Ma Mingyuan and satisfy Yuan Shikai, but also satisfy Yuan Shikai. Because Ma Mingyuan once served as Yuan Shikai's Goshiha, even if he is interrogated in court, Ma Mingyuan can plead guilty.
It is also very likely to offend Lao Yuan.
After Ma Mingyuan confessed, 500 oceans were quickly found in his bedroom. He said that 200 oceans were his savings. Chen Hao knew very well that the 300 oceans were the Xuanyuan Sword's bribe to Ma Mingyuan, and the other 200 oceans must be the bribes of Sanshengshi, but
He didn't say anything.
After Ma Mingyuan left Baoding Military Academy, Chen Hao received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on completing the triggering task 'Self-Proof of Innocence'. Your authority at Baoding Military Academy has been increased, and you can recruit up to 10 additional students.
"
"Player Chen Baxian, because you knew how to choose and did not kill Ma Mingyuan, you made the most correct choice. Your talent for Machiavellianism has been recognized by the system, and you will be rewarded with +1 Machiavellianism. Congratulations on understanding the art of choosing and choosing between Machiavellian skills."
The way to make trade-offs: Primary Machiavellian skills. When faced with a dilemma, the system has a 30% chance of reminding you to give up some of your benefits in order to gain greater benefits.
When receiving the system prompt, Chen Hao felt that this skill was of little use. After careful consideration, he gave up the idea. Whatever you gain, you must lose. There will always be many trade-offs in life. No one can make the most correct choice. This time
Let Mingyuan go, he also figured out the ideas. If he encounters more complicated situations, he won't be able to get it right every time. After all, he is a human being, not a brain.
The probability of 30 is quite high. At least it will allow him to make fewer mistakes. This skill is of great value. In addition to the Machiavellian skills, he is also very satisfied with the rewards he received for completing the "Self-Proof Innocence" task. Recruiting 10 additional students will allow him to enroll.
He can get his core players to study at Baoding Military Academy without any effort.
Ten confidants entered Baoding Military Academy, plus Tang Runzhi and Wu Yu, the number of players studying in Baoding Military Academy in Yingkou reached 12. Chen Hao served as the principal of the military academy, plus 12 student players served as minions, and the number of players who graduated from the military academy
Officers and other players basically have nothing to think about.
After Chen Hao drove away Ma Mingyuan, he handed over the affairs of the military academy to a few instructors, and he resumed his identity as Cheng Zihao. He participated in the military academy training boringly every day, and occasionally received a study task to do it, and he suddenly became leisurely.
It seemed that he was destined to be busy. After more than ten days of this kind of life, Tang Runzhi and Wu Yu found him. Tang Runzhi looked solemn and said: "Boss Chen, Lin Zhi found us today and said that someone was organizing a player gathering. It seems that
It’s going to be bad for us.”
Chen Hao, a player who established a base area and joined the military academy, has all the impressions. This Lin Zhi built a C-level headquarters in the northeast, and the base area developed generally. This person was extremely smooth and had good friends with most of the players in the military academy. Chen Hao was very fond of him.
The impression is not very good.
Lin Zhi's base is in Liaoyang, not far from Yingkou. He came to reveal the news because he wanted to sell Chen Hao a favor. He calculated very clearly that he and other bosses in the military academy would deal with Yingkou. Even if he won, he would have to
What are the benefits? If he sells favors to Yingkou, he can get more if Yingkou wins.
Chen Hao thought clearly about the doorway inside and pondered: "How are those people going to deal with us? Lin Zhi said no?"
Tang Runzhi shook his head and said: "He only said that those people might deal with us. He didn't say how to deal with us specifically, but he said that he wanted to meet you, boss."
Chen Hao understood in an instant that Lin Zhi was the master of not letting go of eagles when he saw rabbits. With his all-round personality, he must know a lot of inside information, but he would not tell it easily. If he could get the information, there would be no point in promising Lin Zhi any favors.
So Chen Hao restored his true identity as Chen Baxian and went to meet Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was very cautious. He told Tang Runzhi and Chen Hao that if they met, they would find him at a cloth shop on Baoding Street. Chen Hao did not go through the gate, but came to the wall behind the school. He used Ladder Cloud to climb over the wall and get out.
After confirming that no one was following him, he walked as far as possible in a remote place, and soon came to the street. The cloth shop he met was located on the west side of the street, and its name was Fuli cloth shop. An NPC shopkeeper was doing business in front of the door. He was sure that there were no players.
At that time, Chen Hao walked over and said, "I'm here to see Boss Lin."
The face of the npc shopkeeper changed. He ordered his clerk to continue doing business, and then led Chen Hao to the backyard of Buzhuang. There was a stone table in the small backyard. There were several side dishes and a jar of wine on the table. Lin Zhizheng, who had a round face, was sitting there.
Waiting on the stone bench.
Seeing Chen Hao follow the shopkeeper into the yard, Lin Zhi stood up with a smile on his face and said: "It's rare that Mr. Chen is willing to show his favor. I have prepared wine and food. I hope Mr. Chen will not dislike having a few drinks with his brother."
Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lin, you are so polite. Brother, you are really cautious! You have arranged the meeting so carefully."
Lin Zhi said with a wry smile: "To be honest, my brothers bought this village temporarily just to meet you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Hao asked in surprise: "Is it possible that Brother Lin Zhi is being followed around the clock?"
Lin Zhiqian laughed twice and said: "That's more or less it! The people who want to deal with Boss Chen this time are all big shots, brother, I can't afford to offend him! My base is in Liaoyang, and I am a neighbor with Boss Chen, so I can deal with them together.
Brother Chen can't do anything about Boss Chen, so I came here to break the news."
Chen Hao secretly despised him in his heart. If he just revealed the news with good intentions, he could just tell Tang Runzhi and Wu Yu directly. Why take the risk of meeting him? Although Lin Zhi did not say who wanted to deal with Chen Hao, but there were probably only a few enemies.
Chen Hao had no idea how the other party would act, so he had to accept the favor.
Chen Hao said with a grateful face: "Thank you Brother Lin for the news. Our bases are close and we can be considered neighbors. We should have more contact in the future. I don't have anything else. I have produced some smokeless gunpowder. If Brother Lin needs me in the future,
Open up the supply and give Brother Lin a 10% discount."
Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Thank you, Boss Chen, for your generosity, but I don't have a bullet production machine. Boss Chen should just sell me the bullets at the market price! In addition, although my brother has built an NPC army of hundreds of people, his commanding ability is very poor.
We are short of a few NPC officers. I hope Boss Chen will be merciful and allow my brothers to recruit a few at the military academy."
Chen Hao frowned after Lin Zhi made the request. Nowadays, there are few companies that can mass-produce bullets, but the produced bullets are basically not put on the market. Therefore, the market is full of high-priced bullets that enter China through secret channels. Players who buy a small amount of bullets have no choice.
The problem is, it is difficult to hoard large quantities of bullets. It is understandable that Lin Zhi wants to buy bullets.
Lin Zhi's base area is not large, and his army only has a few hundred people. The number of bullets he purchased will not be too many. Chen Hao can definitely sell some to him. Chen Hao frowned because of the officer's saying that a person should not be judged by his appearance. If he let Lin Zhi say it,
If he aims to recruit officers in the military academy, he will suffer a big loss if he manages to attract a large number of NPC officers.
Lin Zhi saw Chen Hao's hesitation, and he quickly added: "Don't worry, Boss Chen, my base area is so big that I can't accommodate too many troops, so I recruit at most 20 officers at Baoding Military Academy every year."
Chen Hao was relieved. He only worked at Baoding Military Academy for two years. Baoding Military Academy graduates hundreds of NPC officers every year. It was impossible for him to recruit all of them. It was okay to ask Lin Zhi to recruit 20 officers.
Chen Hao nodded and said: "If Brother Lin has the ability, feel free to recruit, as long as there are no more than 20 people, it's okay."
Lin Zhi's wish came true. He secretly rejoiced at his choice and said: "Boss Chen, after Xuanyuan Jian was canceled by you, he contacted the bosses of all parties who established the base, including me. He called on everyone to unite.
Destroy your base."
Chen Hao was not surprised to hear that Xuanyuan Sword was the leader. Xuanyuan Sword was really good at finding opportunities. There were more than forty players who had established bases and entered the military academy. None of them were simple. Chen Hao warned these people not to fight when the school started.
The NPC officers' ideas will definitely make them dissatisfied.
Therefore, it must be easy for Xuanyuan Sword to contact various people to deal with Chen Hao. After all, no one is willing to enter the military academy and not be able to recruit a single officer.
Chen Hao said curiously: "How many people have accepted the invitation? How are they going to deal with me?"
Lin Zhi said with a smile: "Not one of the forty-four people was left out. Xuanyuan Sword spoke at that time, so those involved in the discussion must keep the plan secret and must not disclose it to anyone. If someone secretly reveals the information, all the bosses will join forces to let him
There is no place to die. It is because of this that I have to take possession of this cloth village, otherwise if someone finds out that I have been in contact with Boss Chen, I will be finished in the game."
