For Yao Shu, just a letter is not enough to scare him completely. This is actually a question of trade-offs. Compared with the possible risks, which one is more important?
Another reason was that when someone sent a letter, he was so frightened that he cowered away. This not only showed that he had no authority and could not hold his breath, but also that he was too distracted and did not have the stability that a real person should have.
Taking a step back, even if this matter is brought to the table, he may not be able to do anything. At worst, both sides will suffer. After all, the case was closed that year, and if the case is reversed, Zhang Jucheng, as the person handling the case, is also responsible.
Of course, Yao Shu couldn't put the letter directly in front of him. Firstly, Yao Shu did have a problem and couldn't get himself into trouble. Secondly, the letter was written in a flawless manner, without mentioning any substantive content, and there was no blackmail.
It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. If an outsider does not know the details, he will not be able to see anything and just regard it as an unsigned greeting letter.
Zhang Jucheng has also been in the Taoist sect for a long time, so he naturally understands this truth and will not leave any obvious clues for others to use to rebel against the general. If it is not weighed on the scale, it will not weigh four ounces, and if it is weighed on the scale it will not be able to defeat a thousand kilograms.
Zhang Jucheng directly prevents you from getting on the scale.
In this case, Yao Shu could only keep calm and respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.
Zhang Jucheng and Zhang Yuelu asked someone to send the letter over to see his reaction. He could also calm down and see what Zhang Jucheng and Zhang Yuelu had in store.
So Yao Shu put the letter away and said nothing.
This was also expected by Zhang Yuelu, and also by Zhang Jucheng. Otherwise Zhang Jocheng would not have asked Shi Jiaosan to write another detailed and specific material. This is what Yao Shu wants to see.
.
However, how to use this backhand to force Yao Shu to compromise without losing control still requires attention to methods.
Zhang Yuelu definitely can't come forward in person, firstly because the weight is not enough, and secondly because it is inconvenient in various senses.
There is a suitable candidate, and that is Landa Zhenren. Firstly, Landa Zhenren’s status is high enough, above Yao Shu. Secondly, Landa Zhenren’s name is justifiable. Of course, the other Dazhenren also have high enough status, but they have no direct relationship with Yao Shu.
The relationship is not related to his position and he will not seek his own government. Thirdly, Master Lan Da is originally on Zhang Yuelu's side.
As a result, Zhang Yuelu went to see Master Landa and handed the material to Master Landa.
Master Landa just doesn't like to take care of things, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the twists and turns in the Taoist sect, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the master in charge. When he used these methods, juniors like Zhang Yuelu didn't even have it.
Zhang Jucheng, Yao Shu and others were all still babies, so Landa Zhenren just took a look and understood what it meant, and there was no need for Zhang Yuelu to explain anything else.
Master Lan Da only said: "I understand, I will talk to him."
Soon, Yao Shu received the notice, and the master in charge asked him to come over.
Yao Shu secretly said "Here we come", unhurriedly arranged his clothes, and took the letter with him.
When they arrived at the signing room of Master Landa, Master Landa motioned for Yao Shu to sit on the chair opposite him. There was only a desk between them. Sun Yongfeng served Yao Shu tea and then withdrew, leaving only two people.
people.
"Master Landa, what do you want from me?" Yao Shu spoke first, asking knowingly.
Master Lan Da slowly spoke: "Renming, I have some concerns about inviting you here today. From an emotional point of view as a fellow Taoist, I think it's a bit of a fuss. But from an organizational point of view, I have to talk to you."
Talk, on behalf of the Taoist government, on behalf of the Taoist sect..."
"Ren Ming" is the epitome of Yao Shu. Confucianism says: "Shu means benevolence." Mohism says: "Shu means Ming." Together they form the word "Ren Ming", which also means: "Ren is wise and virtuous."
.” is also a beautiful expectation.
Yao Shu smiled: "Master Landa, I can understand. I haven't been in Taoism for a day or two, and I know everything. You won't talk to me for no reason, so let's be honest."
Mr. Lan Da said: "As long as you can understand. When I am in charge of my position and encounter such a situation, I will say what I need to say and ask the questions I need to ask. You just need to answer truthfully."
Yao Shu leaned back in his chair: "I will answer truthfully."
Master Lan also leaned back in his chair, both of them in a relaxed state, as if it was just a casual conversation: "Ren Ming, I recently received a piece of information about you. To be precise, it is a matter that happened many years ago.
An old case involved you. You were the chief deputy head of Zhongzhou Dafu at the time, and the person involved in the case was your former secretary Shi Jiaosan. Do you still remember it?"
Yao Shu said: "Of course I remember that back then, he was misbehaving outside in my name. I was negligent in discipline and was responsible for the oversight. I made a deep self-examination at the meeting with the master of Zhongzhou Daofu."
Landa Zhenren said: "I did a simple investigation on this material, reviewed the relevant files from that year, and communicated with the person who handled the case back then."
Yao Shu seemed to ask unintentionally: "Is this Mr. Zhang from Jiangnan Daofu?"
Master Lan Da did not deny: "It was Palace Master Zhang who was responsible for this case. However, Palace Master Zhang said that it had been such a long time that he couldn't remember clearly. He wanted to go back and check it carefully before giving me an answer, so I told him first
You talked, after all, you are closer to me."
Yao Shu asked again: "Maybe I shouldn't ask, but I still can't help but ask, who sent this material?"
Master Lan Da said: "It's anonymous."
Yao Shu's tone was full of sarcasm: "What a great magical power. It can actually be hidden from the perception of an immortal. Could it be that the material was sent by the soul of Chen Shuhua?"
Master Landa was unmoved: "I won't always be in the pledge room. There will always be places I'm not in. As long as I know how to choose the time, it's enough. I don't need the cultivation of an immortal."
Yao Shu said: "What a coincidence, I just received an anonymous letter saying hello to me."
Master Lan Da said: "It's not surprising that the relationships within the Taoist sect are complicated. Some people are afraid of getting burned or retaliated, so they dare not use their real names. There are some, and it is allowed."
There was something in Yao Shu's words, and he seemed to be joking: "I wonder who will retaliate? Is it me? Or the real person from Landa?"
Master Lan Da said: "As for this issue, it is not within the scope of our discussion today. Let's return to the topic. Is there any inside story about Shi Jiao San? Please answer my question directly and don't avoid it."
Yao Shu could only answer the questions head-on, and recounted the circumstances of the case again, which were almost completely consistent with the records in the dossier.
After finishing speaking, Yao Shu said angrily: "What's the point of this? Nowadays, people outside call Zhenren's secretary Xiao Zhenren. In Zhenren's signing room, he is just a secretary, but outside of Zhenren's signing room, he
He is no longer a secretary, but the incarnation of a real person, acting domineeringly under the banner of a real person."
"There are many people like this. Let's not talk about it. Let's talk about Xie Jiaofeng. He used to be the secretary of Master Donghua. Now that Xie Jiaofeng is in jail, could it be that Master Donghua asked him to do this? Master Donghua
It’s just like me, neglecting discipline and bearing the responsibility for neglect.”
Yao Shu's words were very clever. He juxtaposed himself with Master Donghua. The implication was that it was also the secretary who had the problem. If he was held accountable, would Master Donghua be held accountable?
Master Landa did not accept this trick: "No one can be responsible for anyone else for the rest of their lives, not even their parents, nor their bosses."
"If Xie Jiaofeng committed such a thing when he was still a secretary, Master Donghua would certainly bear the responsibility. But now it has been found that Xie Jiaofeng made a big mistake when he was the deputy palace chief. At this time, he had already
If you are not the secretary of Master Donghua, how can you be implicated in Master Donghua?"
"Ren Ming, you said in the palace master's meeting a few days ago that the chief deputy palace chief shall bear the responsibility for oversight. How come today it is Donghua real person who has failed to observe? According to what you said, does Wanxiang Taoist Palace also have to be responsible? After all,
Why don’t you educate Xie Jiaofeng well?”
Yao Shu never expected that Landa Zhenren's words would be so sharp. In a few words, he not only defused his offensive, but also defeated his army. Jiang is still old and spicy.
In the past, he always thought that Master Lan Da was old and arrogant. Now it seems that Master Lan just wants to hide and relax. He just doesn't want to take care of it, but it doesn't mean that he is incapable of taking care of it.
Yao Shu had no choice but to say: "I made a mistake. I shouldn't have involved Master Donghua indiscriminately."
Master Lan Da did not dwell too much on this point, and continued: "The matter about Xie Jiaofeng is not the focus of our conversation today. Let us continue to talk about the matter of Shi Jiao San. This material says that Shi Jiao San was the representative at that time.
You have received it. Strictly speaking, you have received it on behalf of your wife. How do you explain it?"
"The son is nothing." Yao Shu actually doesn't have much of a problem himself. In this position, it is difficult to impress them with some benefits, but sometimes it is inevitable that his wife is unvirtuous and his son is unfilial, and he cannot kill his relatives with justice, so the root of the disaster is sown, and he finally cleans up the mess.
He needs to come.
Master Landa smiled: "I am also inclined to this conclusion, but I can't draw a final conclusion for the time being. It depends on what is going on with Master Zhang in Jiangnan Daofu. Before that, Master Zhang had made it clear to me that although he
He is the person handling the case and the convener at the time, but if something goes wrong in the case and the case needs to be reversed, he will never stop it. He will take up the responsibility that is his. I believe that Mr. Zhang will seek truth from facts in this matter.
of."
Yao Shu couldn't tell. Zhang Jucheng's statement was a naked threat and a determination. Both of us would lose, but it would be you, Yao Shu, who would suffer the greater loss. After all, failure to handle the case could only be a demerit at most. Is it because of what happened many years ago?
This incident removed Zhang Jucheng's real person in charge? There is no such reason. It will not even affect Zhang Jucheng's future. Should he be promoted to the chief minister, he will still be promoted to the chief minister.
Yao Shu is different. He is also the real person in charge. Zhang Jucheng has just removed Li Tianlan. He has great power, but he is restricted at every turn. If he falls into such a quagmire again, the future is unpredictable and he is afraid that he will stop there.
