"Gulu..." Sima Heng swallowed hard and looked at Chunjiao, obviously feeling the pressure.
Sima Heng knew in his heart that his advantage lay in his brain, and it was his brain that made him want to be the leader.
Sima Heng was very confident and even somewhat arrogant about his own mind.
But if you compare your own mind with that of a master-level master, you have to draw an equal sign between the two...
Even Sima Heng is a little unsure now.
Xia Shang smiled: "It seems that you know it yourself and feel the weight of the head of the Twelve Divisions to some extent."
"No!" Sima Heng forcibly cheered up and said seriously: "I am different from Master Chunjiao. Sometimes, force alone cannot solve the problem."
"You're right, but when it comes to intelligence and scheming, how do you think it compares to me?"
Sima Heng looked at Xia Shang and looked even less confident: "Of course I can't compare with you, sir. I followed you that day, and I also had a desire to win. I wanted to see how capable you are. Since I lost track of you,
That proves that I lost."
"In that case, what else do you have to say? Chunjiao and I each hold the same position. You can't compete with Chunjiao in a martial arts competition. Biwen, you think you're inferior to me, so why do you want me to give you the first position?"
"Just because there is no one around you that you can discuss with."
"Huh?" Xia Shang said quietly.
Sima Heng said: "Everyone who holds great power is surrounded by people who can make suggestions and discuss big plans. The county magistrate has a master around him, the general has a military adviser around him, the emperor has a prime minister around him, and even ordinary big households must have a steward around them."
It can be seen that managing any organization is not something that can be controlled by one person. Adults are smart, but sometimes their intelligence can lead to mistakes. Can adults ensure that all their decisions will not go wrong? There are smart people around them.
It’s not that those in power are incompetent, but it’s actually that those in power are cautious. One more person who can make suggestions means one more choice and one more layer of insurance. I believe adults should understand this truth.
As far as I know, most of the people who follow you now are people with strong martial arts skills. You are overconfident in your own intelligence. You think that as long as you master absolute force and rely on your own mind, you can be invincible. But let me do it.
Look, you are walking on thin ice even if you don't take a step now. If you make a mistake in one step, it will be a matter of life and death. In the future, with me, Sima Heng, on your side to plan one more possibility for you, you will have one more choice and multiple weighings.
The next decision will naturally be to be on the safer side.”
"One more choice..." Xia Shang murmured, feeling very surprised by Sima Heng's words. He indeed mentioned something that Xia Shang had never considered.
Xia Shang pondered for a long time and nodded to Sima Heng: "What you said does make sense. Thank you for reminding me. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will naturally find someone who is smart enough and able to help me. But is this person the same as yours?
It’s not up to you to have the final say, at least I’m not qualified to see you now.”
Sima Heng was anxious: "Sir, if you still don't believe in my ability, you can test me again. No matter what the problem is, I will definitely be able to solve it. And I said that as long as you give me a little time, I can definitely solve it for you."
The jade-faced fox.”
Xia Shang raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "I'm not doubting your mind."
"Why is that? Because of my identity? My family? I can swear that as long as I join the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I will never have anything to do with the Sima family again in my life."
"I have said that joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as easy as you think, and not all capable people can enter. This is not a martial arts gang, let alone the Hanlin Academy in the capital. Everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is carefully selected.
Careful selection must go through layers of selection. What is selected is not only ability, but also psychological preparation. But I think you have too little inner preparation."
"Inner preparation? What else should I prepare?"
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"No, but I can kill one right away!"
With that said, Sima Heng slammed the table and stood up to kill someone.
"Wait a minute!" Xia Shang scolded him, "Do you think the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a mountain bandit? Just kill people?"
"This won't work, that won't work either, sir. I think you are just trying to stall me."
"You said before that joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to keep your true heart in the dark. But do you know how much you will have to do after joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Do you want to keep your true heart here? I'm sorry, this is simply impossible. Anyway.
One day you will encounter something you don't want to do but have to do. After committing a crime against your inner will, the shadow will follow you for a long time. If it accumulates too much, it may make you crazy.
Joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate will make people outside fear you and fear you. Maybe they will give you various benefits and more and more rights. You will face more and more temptations. No one
You and I are no exception to being able to maintain our true intentions under such temptation. You are still very naive now. If you are just seeking inner guidance, joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely be the wrong choice in your life.
Finally, I want to emphasize that killing is not scary, but what is scary is that killing people is addictive!"
Xia Shang spoke these words very seriously, and Sima Heng listened with great concentration.
After Xia Shang finished speaking, Sima Heng didn't speak for a long time. Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of what this man of similar age said, he felt his own naivety from the current atmosphere, and he even doubted himself.
Do you still have the qualifications to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Is it possible to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
"There is a position that suits you very well." Xia Shang suddenly continued, "If you are willing to help me get the jade-faced fox, I will give you a letter of introduction and go to the capital to find the head of Bailisi. As the most common Bailisi
If you can get the approval of Chief Bailisi, I will ask him to keep the Bailisi No. 2 brand for you."
Sima Heng thought for a while: "Okay! I can agree, but if I can be recognized by the adults one day, will you leave me a first seat?"
Xia Shang nodded.
"Don't worry, sir. I will find out the whereabouts of the jade-faced fox within two days... no... one day."
"Do you need any help?"
"No need, one of my subordinates can handle it."
Hearing this, I felt that this person's tone was quite serious, and Chunjiao on the other side was a little disdainful.
Xia Shang didn't say much. Since Sima Heng is so confident, let's see what methods she has.
Afterwards, Xia Shang took Chunjiao and left the inn.
After Chunjiao saw everything that happened before, she had many questions: "Sir, do you really believe him?"
"He knows some details that you can't even investigate, so he must be quite capable." (To be continued)
