Chapter 20 Fisherman

"boom!"

Accompanied by a powerful palm, the desk made of high-quality red sandalwood turned into powder.

"What's going on here?" Gu Changqing's roar echoed above the Eagle's Nest, and the three men in gold clothes lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Gu Changqing's chest was heaving and rising, suppressing the anger in his heart, he shouted: "A group of useless idiots, bastards, trash! If you can't find something, don't say it, but let people find the trace. What use are you?!"

Thinking that the people he sent had messed things up, Gu Changqing felt an unknown anger in his heart, wishing to smash the heads of all these people to pieces!

The people below were all trembling and did not dare to answer, but Gao Fei who was standing aside said: "Don't get angry, Lord Eagle, I think there is something strange about this matter."

"What's wrong?" Gu Changqing looked at Gao Fei.

Just like Gu Changqing is currently the most valued talent in Tianshen Palace, Gao Fei is also the person Gu Changqing values ​​and appreciates the most. Gu Changqing will take his words seriously.

Gao Fei has already replied: "Qiming is an old man of Yingtang after all, and we have all noticed what he has done all these years. It can be said that he is quite stable, and he has never had any troubles."

Gu Changqing snorted: "I know, that's why I sent him there, but I didn't expect such a leak to come out."

Gao Fei said: "But I think... Is it possible that Qiming and the others did not have the problem?"

"En?" Gu Changqing looked at Gao Fei: "You mean..."

Gao Fei bowed and replied: "I didn't see the matter with my own eyes, so I dare not say anything for sure. But I asked someone to ask the students who were nearby at that time, and I also asked about Xin Yue and Si Yue'er. It is said that Tang Jie You shouted that there was a thief because you found footprints, Lord Eagle, don’t you think it’s a little bit of a fuss to shout that there’s a thief when you find a footprint?”

Gu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "Go on."

Gao Fei said: "In addition, according to the information obtained from the inquiry, the footprint is said to be very clear, and it was stepped on a pile of flour. If there is a slight flaw in the actions of the three of them, there may be some corners that they did not notice, leaving some Small clues, this is reasonable. But if you say that you leave such clear evidence without knowing it... I don’t think Qiming and the others will be so incompetent.”

Hearing this, the three people below looked at Gao Fei with tears in their eyes.

Gu Changqing finally regained his composure.

He sat down, rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "You are right, Gao Fei, I was excited about this matter. It seems that there is a ghost behind this matter..."

"However, my subordinates still don't understand. If Tang Jie really wanted to frame him, why did he do that?"

"Why?" Gu Changqing knocked on the table habitually, but found that the book case had been smashed by his palm, so he could only stand up and take a few steps, and then said: "Of course it is because this matter is of great benefit to him. Now Xie Fengtang must Have you noticed him? Then the Moon Cleansing Sect will definitely keep a close eye on this person, and with the Moon Cleansing Sect involved, it will be difficult for us to attack him."

"What Eagle Lord means is that he is trying to use this incident to attract the attention of the Moon Cleansing Sect and protect himself?" Gao Fei frowned: "But the problem is that the Moon Cleansing Sect is not a good man or woman. We want a military lesson, they I want it too! Could it be...Tang Jie is already planning to hand over the military guide to the Xiyue Sect?"

Speaking of this, Gao Fei's complexion changed drastically.

If this is the case, it is probably the worst ending.

Gu Changqing shook his head: "I don't think he will hand over the military certificate. If he wanted to hand it in, he could have handed it in three years ago. Why bother to be a servant? As long as he is willing to hand over the military certificate, it will be considered as a real pass. Presumably the Xiyue faction will agree, right? If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago."

"Then why did he let the Moon Cleansing faction find him?"

"Why?" Gu Changqing sneered: "Gao Fei, you forgot one thing."

"What?"

Gu Changqing paused word by word: "So far, in fact, we have not had any evidence to prove that he is Tang Jie!"

Gao Fei was stunned.

Gu Changqing said: "Can you really be sure that he is Tang Jie who has a soldier's sword? He is just similar to Tang Jie in origin, age and name, but does this mean that he is Tang Jie? To be honest, even if he arrives Now, you and I can't be sure of this!"

"When something like this happens, he has a 99% chance!" Gao Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, why would he create evidence to frame us?"

"The problem is that our people did go there that night! He shouted out at that time, indicating that it might not be a coincidence, but that he had indeed discovered the clues left by Qiming and the others! So it is entirely possible that he felt something was wrong, and then made a big fuss and put The evidence expands, young people always like to sensationalize, that’s what it is!” Gu Changqing retorted: “The most important thing is, if Tang Jie really wants to frame him, why does he have to choose when we really go? He doesn’t have to Wait for our people to come? You can do it directly at any time."

The next disciple named Qiming quickly said: "Maybe it's because of the method of returning to the source?"

"Wrong!" Gu Changqing said: "It is not only the method of returning to the source that can point to the Tianshen Palace. If I were Tang Jie, if I wanted to attract the attention of Xiyue College, I could choose a simpler method. For example, shout me I saw a man in gold walking away from my room. Framed! What is framed, is to create evidence! But he didn't do it, but after we actually went there, even Whether that evidence was made by him, we can't even confirm!"

"This..." Everyone was speechless again.

"That is to say, we still can't confirm that he is Tang Jie? We can't even confirm that he deliberately framed him?" Qiming said angrily.

"That's right, it can't be confirmed! In the past three years, there have been many targets like him. It's just that he was the only one who called out my name as Tang Jie, and the only one who found out that we had been there after we went to search. These two points can only prove that he is suspicious, but they cannot prove that he is!" Gu Changqing sighed: "In this world, there are too many things that can be doubted, but too few things that can be confirmed!"

He is a person who pays attention to evidence. Although he also thinks that the possibility of Tang Jie being Tang Jie is very, very high, it would be unwise to act rashly before finding a military guide.

If you make a mistake, the consequences will be troublesome!

Gu Changqing said again: "But because of this, I can understand why he wants the Moon Sect to pay attention to him."

Gao Fei's eyes lit up: "Because the Moonwashing faction can't be sure."

"That's right." Gu Changqing nodded with a smile: "Now let's make a hypothesis..."

"Assuming that I am Tang Jie and Tang Jie at the same time. I have a military guide in my hand. As long as I succeed in cultivation in the future, I will go to Tiandu Mountain and open the big formation, and I will be able to obtain the treasure of the soldier master. However, it is easy to say that the cultivation is successful. , but it is not easy to do. To open the Heavenly Capital Mountain Formation, at least the strength of Tianxin Daoist is required. But to enter the Heavenly State of Mind is out of reach for most people."

Gao Fei already said, "So not only do I have to enter Xiyue Academy, but I also have to be valued by the academy, become one of the top ten disciples, and receive the inheritance of the secret method, so that I can enter Tianxin firmly!"

"That's right. But I'm just a middle-of-the-road talent at Rank 5 of Yumen, why should I let the Moon Sect value me?" Gu Changqing said.

A fierce light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes: "Naturally rely on the military experience... This is also the only weight in my hand!"

"That's why I want to shout before entering the academy, hoping to attract the attention of the academy."

"But I didn't expect that Tianshen Palace would bribe some people in the academy, suppressed the information and did not report it, and the news of the moon washing party Bingjian was also limited, and the attention may not be enough."

"So I have to find a way to further remind Xiyue Academy."

"The problem is that I don't really want to hand over the military sword, and I can't reveal the secret of the military sword, so how should I remind?"

"That's a bit difficult...but...maybe...you can use the Tianshen Palace in reverse..." Gao Fei's voice gradually became low: "If the Moon Washing Sect finds that the Tianshen Palace is suspicious of me, then they will naturally notice I."

"So what I have to do is to let the investigation of Tianshen Palace fall into the eyes of the Xiyue Sect." Gu Changqing continued: "This is equivalent to letting Tianshen Palace tell the Xiyue Sect that Tang Jie may be Tang Jie."

Gao Fei continued: "That's right, in this way, the Moon-washing faction will pay attention to me, but since the Tianshen Palace is not sure about my identity, the Moon-washing faction can't be sure whether I am Tang Jie."

Gu Changqing: "So the Moon Cleansing faction will definitely keep an eye on me, but they won't act lightly."

Gao Fei: "But the risk still exists. It is very likely that the Xiyue faction will arrest me regardless of everything and conduct a soul search to find out the truth. After all, Xiyue College is under the jurisdiction of the Xiyue faction. They want to arrest people, not like Tianshen Palace It's such a hassle."

Gu Changqing: "Is there anything in the world that doesn't take risks? Facing behemoths like Tianshen Palace and the Moonwashing Sect, if you want to take advantage of the fire, you must take some risks, not to mention that the Moonwashing Sect is not very likely to do so. One Come on, they can't be sure if I'm the person wanted by Tianshen Palace. It will be difficult if they catch the wrong person. The consequences of soul searching are too serious. I can get the information I want. Secondly, there is also Tianshen Palace Tiger Watching by my side. If the Xiyue sect gets nothing, it’s fine. If they gain something, Tianshen Palace will definitely not let it go. At that time, when the news of Moonwashing Academy tortured its own students and sought benefits, the reputation of Moonwashing Sect would be ruined."

Gao Fei: "A student's life is worthless. But the reputation of the Moonwashing Sect is worth some money. Especially when the person and the income are not sure, if a student is killed in vain, it will be worth a lot of money." Worse."

Gu Changqing: "So if I were Xie Fengtang, I would definitely not use such simple and rude methods."

Gao Fei: "I will pretend I don't know, and take gentle measures to show him favor, so that he will be grateful to the Moon Cleansing Sect, and he may confess everything by himself in the future. As long as it is handed over by Tang Jie himself, no matter how much the God Palace wants to do that day It's useless, the reputation of the Xiyue faction will not be damaged, and both fame and fortune will be gained!"

Gu Changqing: "Even if he doesn't hand it over, he can still get closer and find out the real news. A child, as long as he works hard, he can always be deceived. If it doesn't work, there is still time for him to be arrested and tortured. Even if it is the worst result , Tang Jie is not Tang Jie, that's just a little preference for a student, and he can't give a small amount of money, anyway, he can attack or retreat, as long as he is in his hands, he can handle anything."

Gao Fei: "This is equivalent to using the Moonwashing faction to contain the Tianshen Palace, and then using the Heavenly God Palace to contain the Moonwashing faction in turn!"

Gu Changqing: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins!"

Gao Fei: "That's why Xie Fengtang immediately gave out ten bottles of elixir and one thousand spiritual coins after the incident happened."

Gu Changqing: "This is just the beginning. If Xie Fengtang thinks that I am Tang Jie, the possibility is very high, if he knows the value of military training, and if I behave better..."

Gao Fei: "Even the ninth floor of Tianyi Pavilion may be opened to me... This kid is ruthless enough!"

When it came to the last sentence, Gao Fei finally stopped imitating Tang Jie, and he and Gu Changqing looked at each other, and gasped at the same time.

The people below were even more stunned.

Why did Gu Changqing never think of the Moon Sect? Because he believed that if Tang Jie wanted to hand over the military guide to the Xiyue Sect, he would have handed it in early, and there was no need to wait until now.

It was this limitation in thinking that made him make a big mistake!

Tang Jie really didn't want to hand over the military guide to the Xiyue faction, but that doesn't mean he didn't want to use the Xiyue faction.

The best way to take advantage of the Moon Sect is not to tell the Moon Sect "I am the one wanted by the Tenshen Palace", but to let the Sects themselves "doubt that I am the one wanted by the Tenshen Palace" through the actions of the Tenshen Palace.

There seems to be no difference between the two.

But in some cases, there is a world of difference.

Doubt is suspicion. You can't confirm him until you find the real thing, before the other party admits it himself, and only have some fragmentary clues!

But he has already begun to fight for his own interests in the process.

Gao Fei murmured: "If this is his plan, then this kid's scheming is too terrifying, right? He is only sixteen years old now!"

Gu Changqing snorted: "You forgot that he started to attract our attention with the name Tang Jie, and when he went to the Weifu, he was already called Tang Jie. If he is really Tang Jie, then this plan, I'm afraid it has already started before entering the Weifu."

"What?" Everyone looked at Gu Changqing in astonishment.

"That year, he was less than thirteen years old." Gu Changqing said leisurely.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to infer. Under normal circumstances, just Tang Jie's shout should make them think that there is a problem. Hands protect themselves.

It's just that they never thought that an underage boy would come up with such a plan.

This is no longer something that can be thought of by a smart mind. The most important thing is that the opponent has seen through the world and has a very deep understanding of this society!

This was more surprising, shocking and inconceivable to them than the plan that had played them in the palm of their hand.

At that moment, they suddenly had a common expectation that all this was just speculation!

Just guessing!

Gao Fei said: "However, there is always an end to this kind of seeking advantage in the cracks. As long as one of the two sides runs out of patience, he will be finished..."

"That's right, this approach is playing with fire, and sooner or later you will burn yourself." Gu Changqing replied: "So there are only two possibilities for this matter in the end."

"Which two possibilities?"

"—He is indeed not Tang Jie. So far, all he has done is to call out that I am Tang Jie, and to inform the academy when he finds someone peeping. From the perspective of a normal person, there is nothing wrong with his actions, and his reaction is not wrong." It's normal, it's just that our luck is bad, and his luck is too good. So this incident is just a coincidence. At his age, it is impossible and should not come up with such a plan. It is our own paranoia and thinking too much."

"What about the second one?"

"He is indeed Tang Jie. All of this was carefully planned by him, just waiting for us to take the bait. If so, then we can no longer treat him as an ignorant boy, but as a cunning The fox, treat it as an unprecedented opponent. If it is such an opponent, it is impossible for him not to realize the hidden risks in this plan, so..."

Gu Changqing raised his head and looked at the crowd:

"He must have a backhand!"
