The Fourth Financial Crisis

While the Tianshu City case caused an uproar, Yang Lu, the instigator, lived a quite comfortable life.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes well——

Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes!

Haiya City, where various forces are intertwined, is like an arsenal filled with gunpowder. It only takes a little spark to detonate extremely amazing energy.

What's more, the Tianshu City case was a vicious incident that shocked the entire Zhongzhou. Even the "Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly" published two consecutive front pages for discussion. Without Yang Lu's continued promotion, the incident could escalate on its own.

Just when Zhu Ziming was worried, Yang Lu hid in the backyard of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. While chatting and playing chess with his beautiful lady, he watched the chaotic situation in Haiya City with a cold eye.

Although the confrontation between the several major forces was extremely fierce, the overall development of the situation was still firmly in Yang Lu's hands.

Although on the surface he has been staying at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce without going out, he can always use his influence at critical moments by virtue of the secret communication channels he has established with core figures such as Chen Ming, Fang Jiancai, Han Xinhe, and Su Yuanfeng. Make every effort to add fuel to the flames and guide the chaotic situation in the direction most beneficial to you.

This is like a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest. As long as it flaps its wings at the right place, it can trigger strong winds and waves thousands of miles away. Even Yuanying stage monks like Cheng Shuying and Mo Yunlan did not realize that they His attitude and decision-making were actually indirectly and subtly influenced by a monk in the early stage of Qi refining in Haiya City.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that no one knows the truth.

Li Qingning, who was enthusiastically introducing the situation of Haiya City in front of Yang Lu, was the only exception.

She could probably guess that Yang Lu was probably behind this major case. After all, it was Yang Lu who first asked her to deliver the key information that changed the direction of the incident to Fang Jiancai.

Since Yang Lu could predict the coming of the beast tide in advance, he obviously played a key role in this incident.

Whether it was the demon pill worth more than 200,000 spirit stone coins brought back by Yang Lu, or the inexplicable overtures from the Far East Chamber of Commerce and Tianshu City, it was clear that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was the biggest hidden beneficiary of the Tianshu City incident.

Li Qingning just has a simple personality, not a bad brain. She soon realized that these changes were brought about by Yang Lu for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. It was a lie that she was not curious.

However, every time she asked Yang Lu for details, Yang Lu would just smile and talk to her.

If someone else had played this profound trick with the eldest lady, Li Qingning would have smashed the opponent's head with a straight punch. However, as Yang Lu showed his ability to turn decay into magic again and again, he saved the Qingning Chamber of Commerce from fire and water. , Li Qingning has developed an inexplicable sense of dependence on Yang Lu, and for the first time, she did not break the casserole to find out the truth. Even she herself was not aware of this change at the subconscious level.

Nowadays, Li Qingning has become accustomed to consulting Yang Lu for his opinion on all kinds of trivial matters.

Yang Lu, of course, welcomed this situation with both hands.

If it were placed on Earth, if he wanted to find a beautiful woman to chat with him, he might have to go to a maid cafe or the like to pay for it. And for a beautiful woman of Li Qingning's level, he wouldn't be able to hire her for any amount of money. Come.

There is a beautiful boss who actively harasses me, let alone chatting, even if it is "996", it is a blessing!

Seeing Li Qingning's talkative attitude, Yang Lu couldn't help but smile and asked: "Miss, I heard that you just went to the Haiya City Lord's Mansion to meet with Elder Han Xinhe. How was the discussion between you two?"

Li Qingning's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons when he mentioned this matter: "Elder Han took the initiative to strengthen the cooperation between the Haiya Department and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. However, because of the incident in Tianshu City, the entire Haiya Department is in a state of distress, so he may not care about it for the time being. Don't do this..."

"As long as the interests of both parties are more tightly bound, it will be more difficult for the Haiya Sect to cut off from us when something happens." Yang Lu nodded, and then asked about another matter, "Han Xinhe is in charge of the Haiya Sect Law Enforcement Hall, if the Haiya Sect If the Ya family wants to take action against the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, they should do so through his channels. Isn’t there any movement from their side yet?”

As Lu Anping's white glove, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's backstabbing behavior of "downcoming the superior" has seriously violated the unspoken rules of the Kyushu cultivation world. Not only Duzhitang cannot spare them, but other neutral forces cannot tolerate such traitors.

This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the ruling class of the cultivation world!

As an ally of Duzhitang, the Haiya Clan should take thunderous action against the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

However, Li Qingning shook his head and said helplessly: "After the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce reported Lu Anping to Liu Hanxing, Liu Hanxing has already announced on behalf of the Wuliang Sword Sect that the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is an important witness and has accepted the official protection of the Wuliang Sword Sect."

This result was not beyond Yang Lu's expectation.

Zhu Ziming was well aware of the consequences of stabbing Lu Anping in the back, but he still chose to take action. On the one hand, he was forced into a dead end by Yang Lu, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Liu Hanxing could come forward to protect him.

Liu Hanxing's highest goal is to completely prove Lu Anping's charges. Therefore, Liu Hanxing used the excuse of witness protection to use the supreme authority of the Wuliang Sword Sect to protect the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. This not only prevented Lu Anping from killing people, but also secretly protected the people who worked for him without arousing suspicion.

This is undoubtedly a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Noticing that Yang Lu's expression had not changed, Li Qingning couldn't help but asked curiously: "Yang Lu, did you already know that this would be the result? Is it too easy for Zhu Ziming to let him get away with it like this?"

Seeing Li Qingning's eagerness to give it a try, Yang Lu said with some humor: "You need to be strong in order to forge iron. The development of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the most important. Cleaning up the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is just a side goal. What's more... Liu Hanxing thinks he is going along with the flow. By protecting Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, others will not be suspicious, but Gongdetang and Shanying Sect may not buy his account!"

Liu Hanxing didn't know that due to Yang Lu's instigation, Fang Jiancai and Chen Ming had long believed that he was the mastermind behind the scenes. Seeing Liu Hanxing protect the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, Gongde Hall would only become more suspicious that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce was Liu Hanxing's sect. Went undercover.

Although Li Qingning didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he saw that the three forces of Liu Hanxing, Haiya Clan, and Duzhitang were very lively in their accusations against each other. However, Gongdetang, as the culprit, never spoke out, and he knew that there must be something fishy.

In fact, it was not that Gongdetang did not want to speak out, but that it had no position to speak out. Chen Ming and Fang Jiancai had neither evidence nor investigative capabilities. Even if they knew that Liu Hanxing was the mastermind behind the Tianshu City incident, they could not jump out and make public accusations.

However, Cheng Shuying also showed his political wisdom this time.

He did not bite the man behind the Tianshu City incident, because doing so would be meaningless to restore his reputation, so he focused his energy on obtaining material compensation for the Mountain Eagle Sect from the Wuliang Sword Sect.

His reasons are also very high-sounding:

The Black Pool Dragon King is a monster fostered by the Wuliang Sword Sect in the Tianshu Mountains Nature Reserve. This beast suddenly went crazy and caused trouble in Tianshu City. The Wuliang Sword Sect must assume management responsibilities and compensate for the damage caused by the Black Pool Dragon King. Total loss.

As the overlord of Zhongzhou, the Wuliang Sword Sect would not agree to the unreasonable demands of the Mountain Eagle Sect under normal circumstances.

After all, the Black Pool Dragon King is just a demonic beast in the early stage of the Golden Core. It is clearly your Mountain Eagle Sect that is showing off and failed to fulfill its responsibility as a defender. Now you still have the nerve to ask for compensation from the Infinite Sword Sect?

However, in order to get rid of the disadvantageous situation, Mo Yunlan, the financial director of the Infinite Sword Sect, actually supported Cheng Shuying's proposal. When other Nascent Soul stage monks had no intention of joining the team, even Lin Jianxing had no position to stop it.

In the end, the Mountain Eagle Sect received a preferential tax policy that "reduced or exempted all tributes for the next three years", which finally allowed the disgraced Cheng Shuying to reluctantly move back to the next round, proving that he was still capable of protecting his younger brother.
