Zhang Fa smiled and sighed sadly: "Seven days, we really don't have much time. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
"I'm confident." Fang Yu pursed her lips: "At least we can't let the dean's hard work go in vain, right?"
Zhang Fa nodded happily: "That's right."
——
Fang Yu and the others were just starting out after all, or the reason why Tang Yun left the matter to them was because they were just starting out and lacked experience.
The two of them pretended to be secretly investigating, but they didn't know that they had already fallen into the eyes and ears of interested people, watching their every move, as if they wanted to get a glimpse of the deep meaning of Tang Yun's move.
Pei family!!!
When they saw the two men sneaking into Pei's house with what they thought was a secret move, all the forces immediately took notice and spread the news to their master's ears.
The old monk asked in surprise: "Are they checking on the Pei family?"
"That's right."
The monk nodded and said with great certainty: "And I inquired secretly and found that the two of them seemed to not only want to investigate the Pei family, but also have something to do with the previous dynasty."
Previous dynasty?
There was another key word. Buddha was twirling his rosary beads, and he couldn't help but pause. His eyelids trembled and he cast his gaze on him: "Is the Pei family related to the previous dynasty?"
"I don't know."
The old monk shook his head and said to himself in confusion: "The Pei family is related to Yuan Fenglong's death. It is normal for Tang Yun to find out this, but how did he find out about the relationship between the Pei family and the previous dynasty?"
You must know that Leiyin Temple is the biggest local snake in Leihuo Prefecture. It was even able to compete with the imperial court at one time. Even they didn't know that the Pei family had a relationship with the previous dynasty. How did Tang Yun know when he first arrived?
"Could it be that Tang Yun interrogated the Pei family during his secret visit to Xianghuo?"
Fozi remembered something and frowned: "Or maybe he overheard it by chance? According to his strength, this is not impossible.
But the problem is, it involves the previous dynasty and caused a lot of trouble, so he should investigate it secretly, so why would he leave this matter to two young boys?"
"Leverage your strength?"
The old monk thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "He deliberately sent these two young boys to act because he knew that their every move would be watched by all the forces in Xianghuo County.
The Pei family is related to the previous dynasty. This is not a small matter, and it may really cause trouble. Tang Yun's purpose is to draw everyone's attention to this matter, so as to prevent the remnants of the previous dynasty from taking action rashly? "
"absurd."
Buddha shook his head in denial and said: "So what if all the forces pay attention? They are not the swords in Tang Yun's hands, will they listen to his orders? If there are really remnants, they will still take action if they should, and will not take these things into consideration.
And don’t forget what happened when you took Feng Yan over. Coupled with Tang Yun’s mindless behavior this time, I have a vague feeling that his real purpose is not here, but has another agenda.”
A monk was a little shocked: "Buddha is saying that Tang Yun did all this just to divert everyone's attention so that he can act secretly?"
"That's right."
Buddha nodded slightly: "He deliberately behaved uncharacteristically in Jie Feng Yan. The purpose is to make us indecisive and hesitant to advance or retreat. The best way to adapt to changes is to remain unchanged, so that we can be temporarily stabilized.
Then Fang Yu and others were sent to take the lead, using the Pei family as the starting point, thereby attracting the attention of all parties, so that no one would notice Tang Yun himself in a short period of time."
The old monk felt that what he said was indeed reasonable, but he was a little unclear: "So what is his purpose? He took great pains to put out layers of smoke screens, what is the ultimate purpose? It can't be as simple as supporting Fang Yu to rise to power, right?"
Fozi murmured: "I don't know, but I am sure that what made Tang Yun hesitate to create such a smoke screen and go around so many circles to cover it up must be extremely important to him."
The old monk asked: "What should we do?"
The rest of the people focused their attention on Buddha.
"Although we don't know what his intentions are, we can't let him get his way."
Buddha's speed of twisting the rosary increased slightly, and his voice became solemn: "Keep a close eye on Tang Yun, and in addition, use your power to find out the details of the Pei family."
Someone asked in confusion: "But didn't you say that the Pei family, Fang Yu, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were all smokescreens deliberately set off by Tang Yun?"
Buddha glanced at him indifferently and chuckled: "What is imaginary is real, and what is real is imaginary. Tang Yun has extremely subtle control over people's hearts.
It is impossible to do the opposite. Since our Leiyin Temple is a local snake and has enough power to catch it with both hands, why give up on one side? Leave it to chance? "
joke!
Since he has the ability to block all possibilities, Buddhists will definitely not be overconfident and do stupid things that they will regret.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, we must investigate and arrest them!
…
The value of time has always varied from person to person.
For Fang Yu and Fang Yu, seven days was too tight. Although they understood Tang Yun's underlying meaning, it was still difficult to implement the action.
Forging a chain of evidence is a bit too difficult for two novices.
However, what they didn't know was that while the two of them were racking their brains and trying their best to connect the Pei family with the remnants of the previous dynasty and put them on the blame, some people were very anxious.
Fang Yu didn't know, Leiyin Temple didn't know, and even the people in Xianghuo County didn't know. Most people thought it was a joke, and it was Tang Yun's reason to use this incident to pull off the tiger's skin and consolidate the forces in Xianghuo County.
Next, they will play tricks of framing and labeling, and at the same time, they will support Fang Yu, his subordinate, to gain a higher position.
But as everyone knows...the Pei family is really related to the previous dynasty.
And these remnants are also very puzzled. They don't know how Tang Yun found out about this matter. Could it be that the Pei family's will is not firm and they have exposed themselves?
When Fang Yu and others started to act, the remnants of the former dynasty in the dark had the same thoughts as most people, but they inadvertently discovered a terrible thing - there was movement in Leiyin Temple.
Damn it!!!
What happened to Leiyin Temple? You sent people to the Pei family to secretly investigate what the hell was going on? Do you really believe what Tang Yun did? Do you really think that the Pei family is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty?
Wait~
They suddenly remembered that at the Jie Feng Banquet not long ago, Tang Yun had uncharacteristically criticized the Buddha, they remembered Tang Yun secretly spying on Xianghuo County, and they remembered the Pei family's extermination for no reason.
Suddenly, they felt shuddering and suddenly enlightened.
The Pei family's dealings with Yuan Fenglong must have been exposed. That's when Tang Yun, a secret agent, came to visit them. However, he never thought that by chance, he would discover that they were related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, so they were tortured and interrogated and then exterminated.
Later, Tang Yun came to Xianghuo County with great fanfare and attacked Leiyin Temple in public, just to send a signal to them secretly and prevent them from becoming vigilant.
Then he secretly joined forces with Leiyin Temple, using Fang Yu and the two as intermediaries, revealing information through them, diverting the attention of almost all the forces in Xianghuo County, and then attacking them with thunderous force.
Tang Yun and the sect have always been at odds with each other. This is true.
So why did they join forces?
Imperial jade seal!!!
Yuxi has a big secret, so...
We have the same interests, so we can join forces~
That does make sense, doesn't it?
With all kinds of false and true calculations, coupled with Tang Yun's personality being inconsistent with the sect, if they hadn't reacted in time, they might have fallen into a trap without even realizing it.
what to do?
what to do?
No, we can't sit still and wait for death.
We need to think of a solution as soon as possible.
Information gap, intelligence asymmetry.
By chance.
This resulted in a staggering variety of behaviors among sentient beings.
The various forces in Xianghuo County thought that Tang Yun was going to use an excuse to clean them up, so everyone was in danger and extremely vigilant.
Leiyin Temple realized that Tang Yun was plotting against them, so they decided to defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Fang Yu and the others thought they were Tang Yun's test, so they worked hard and racked their brains without thinking too much.
The remnants of the previous dynasty thought they had been exposed under Tang Yun's eyes, and were extremely panicked.
Where is Tang Yun?
No one knows what Tang Yun is really thinking, and no one knows what he wants to do in his heart.
…
Tang Yun was sitting in the study, playing with the gadgets in his hands, with a faint smile on his face: "This is really a situation where everyone is in danger and has too much time to take care of himself."
The policy of "courtesy first and then attack" that was agreed upon with Zhou Xun has fermented over the past few days, and now it's time to take action.
Being soft = giving gifts.
The problem is that the imperial court and the sect are at odds with each other. If he hurriedly surrenders, not only will the imperial court be harshly criticized, Leiyin Temple will not believe it either.
So it is necessary to create an inducement, an inducement that everyone takes for granted.
Everyone is confused, worried, and waiting for Tang Yun's next move to make a new judgment.
Then... Next, I will give you the answer.
Tang Yun flicked his fingertips, smiled inexplicably, and turned to Zhenwu Pavilion, ordering his warriors to gather.
With his hands behind his back and holding a volume of compiled cases, Tang Yun glanced at the silent warriors present with a half-smile. Who is he? Can he be a whistle blower by pulling out an eyelash?
Tang Yun knew very well that among these people, there were spies from Leiyin Temple, spies from various forces in Xianghuo County, and some spies with evil intentions.
The undercover thing is always mutual. Didn't you see that every recorded sect in the world, Zhenwu Pavilion also sends spies to lurk secretly.
Infernal Affairs.
But it doesn't matter, that's what he wants. If these guys don't report it, how can he be sure that the bald donkeys in Leiyin Temple will bite the hook?
There are no seven days.
Just five days.
For everyone, these five days were not easy, it was too painful.
Seeing Tang Yun finally show up, they somehow felt relieved.
"Colleagues."
Tang Yun smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, facing the sunlight. Instead of making the people present feel warm, they actually shivered in their hearts.
He shook the case in his hand and said: "In the past two days, Japanese officials have found some clues about the Pei family's matter. I didn't expect that these guys are actually related to the remnants of the previous dynasty."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
After a while, a burst of questions suddenly burst out from the crowd: "Sir, have you found out that those remnants of the previous dynasty are also involved with other forces?"
This statement was obviously a test to see if Tang Yun would really use this excuse to deal harsh blows to various forces in Xianghuo County.
With one step, the pressure exploded, completely suppressing the discussion.
Tang Yun looked around at the crowd and said with a half-smile: "Some of them are involved, but we still need to investigate carefully."
It's pure bullshit, it's the same as not saying it.
After a brief shock, the spies immediately reacted, cursed secretly and breathed a sigh of relief. They decided to report the news back as soon as possible.
It was precisely because Tang Yun was vague that they felt relieved.
There is no doubt that Tang Yun is going to take revenge. The target of revenge is naturally the forces that have not submitted before. The imperial martial arts academy can be eliminated by his own people.
Most of the private martial arts academies jointly owned by aristocratic families have also pooled their money to make donations, so they can still be ruled out. Leiyin Temple is too powerful to act rashly, so it must be ruled out. Apart from the above, others cannot escape.
"Let me say something first this time."
Looking at the crowd, Tang Yun announced calmly: "Fang Yu and Zhang Fa have made meritorious service in investigating the case and have extraordinary cultivation and good resumes. I will appoint Fang Yu as the head of Jinguang Mansion, and Zhang Fa will go with me. Do you want to go with me?"
Not convinced?"
Have it?
Of course there is.
But do you dare to say it?
Of course I dare~
Never underestimate people's ambition.
I saw a group of people below hesitate for a long time, and suddenly a middle-aged man stepped forward with a sullen face and said loudly: "Sir, I am not convinced."
"Oh? Why?"
Tang Yun waved his hand, and someone moved a chair behind him. He lifted up his skirt and sat down lazily, staring at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Tell me."
The man subconsciously glanced at the young man behind him, turned around and said: "Returning to your lord, Master Zhao, the master of Jinguang Mansion, fought fiercely with the demon and died of serious injuries. His descendants also made extraordinary achievements. Logically speaking, Mr. Zhao should be the successor to the master of the palace.
.”
"It stands to reason?"
Tang Yun was thoughtful, glanced at the young man, and said with a smile: "Good words, who taught you?"
"I..." The warrior was stunned for a moment, made eye contact with Tang Yun, shuddered subconsciously, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "I feel something in my heart, so tell the truth."
"What you said makes sense."
Tang Yun sighed and suddenly looked at the people behind him: "What about you? What do you think? You think so too?"
On the surface, he seemed to be looking at those people, but his eyes seemed to have glanced at the young man's face.
"As an official, strength is only one aspect, merit is another, and brains are another." Tang Yun looked at him and said slowly: "You are strong enough, and your merits are enough..."
Someone quickly responded: "Sir, the son of Master Zhao has been in Zhenwu Pavilion for more than ten years. Although he does not dare to compare with you, he is definitely not worse than those two young men who are still young."
Tang Yun raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle: "Not bad? Then why do you come to me to complain, saying that you want me to help you and ask the county governor to allocate food for disaster relief?"
"..." The man became silent for a moment and subconsciously looked at the young man.
The young man knew that if he didn't speak up, he might never have another chance.
Seeing him, he immediately took a step forward and plucked up the courage to say, "May I ask, my lord, since you said so, do you think those two young men are better than me?"
