Xu Yi said, "Your Majesty did not mean what he said, so Lei Mou had no choice but to reveal his true feelings. Lei Mou grabbed the position of Catching Thieves Division's chief minister without thinking about disturbing anyone's interests, including Song Huaishan and others. If they hadn't come to the door, Lei Mou would never have acted like this. Lei Mou has no power and no background, and has no intention of deeply cultivating the power field of the underworld. All he wants is to earn some incense and save some wealth. I wonder if you think the subordinates are telling the truth?"
Long Wenzhang is very helpless. He has declined politely several times, but this strong bearded man always wants to talk to him.
Master Zuo continued, "What Lord Lei wants to say, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Xu Yi said, "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. What I'm doing now has no intention of damaging Lord Commander's status. Even if I successfully complete the task within three months, I can only hold the position of Catching Thieves Division Secretary for one full term at most. At that time, Lord Commander will still need to recommend me and let me be transferred to another place."
Long Wenzhang was stunned. He didn't expect Lei Chiyan's thoughts to be so delicate, directly exposing his most worried place.
There is a contradiction between Long Wenzhang and Xu Yi, but this contradiction is also divided into main contradiction and secondary contradiction.
The so-called secondary contradiction is that Xu Yi intervened to cover the lack of Catching Thieves Division Sibo and harmed his interests. However, since he did not have the absolute power to control Catching Thieves Division Sibo's position, this benefit cannot be said to be very great.
The main contradiction is that once Xu Yi secures his position as Catching Thieves Division Sibo, he may not be able to challenge Ministry of Punishment's rule in the future, which will directly threaten his prosperity and wealth.
The latter is the main contradiction and the root cause that Long Wenzhang has to face Xu Yi.
Xu Yi realized this and broke the matter directly. He clearly told Long Wenzhang that he had no intention of threatening Long Wenzhang's position and would take the initiative to resolve this main contradiction.
Long Wenzhang said, "I probably know what Lord Lei means. Please wait a moment. I have some urgent matters. It won't be too late to discuss it in detail after Mr. Long has finished dealing with it."
Xu Yi guessed that Long Wenzhang was going to have a secret discussion with this Master Zuo, so he cupped his fists and said, "You adults can do as you please."
Not long after, Long Wenzhang and Master Zuo entered the secret room, and Long Wenzhang said with all his face, "What do you think Brother Zuo?"
Master Zuo said, "Promise him."
Long Wenzhang raised his eyebrows, "Why? I thought Brother Zuo wanted me to compromise?"
Master Zuo said, "This man is fierce and wise. You should not make an enemy of him. Since he is willing to take a step back, it is better to be a friend than an enemy. I just say a few words and put you in a different place with him. How can you do this?"
Long Wenzhang said, "How could Long act like this? This person is simply a gangster..."
At this point, he felt something was wrong. Even he himself recognized Master Zuo's analysis of Lei Chiyan. This was clearly a sinister and vicious guy who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger.
How could such a person be really reckless?
Master Zuo said, "Let's not talk about anything else. This person did such things, violated taboos everywhere, and offended people everywhere. Have you ever noticed the slightest fear in his eyes? A smart man did such incredible things, but alone Without fear, such a person is not worthy of awe, and there is nothing worthy of awe. This person takes one step at a time and sees the enemy first. I predict that this person will be able to break the constraints and secure the position of Catching Thieves Division Secretary."
"Instead of being an enemy of such a person, it is better to form a strong support. Your Excellency, you might as well ask this person to leave a document as proof. As long as he does not hinder your fundamental interests, let him go."
Long Wenzhang pondered for a moment, "Thankfully I have Brother Zuo, otherwise I would have offended this person severely, and just leaving the document would be too petty. It seems that I am really afraid of him. This matter..."
Master Zuo smiled and said, "Of course it's up to me to speak up about this matter. As expected, Lei Chiyan wouldn't dare not agree."
Face is saved, Long Wenzhang is satisfied.
Sure enough, after the second negotiation started, Master Zuo took advantage of the situation and asked Xu Yi to write down his guarantee on paper. Xu Yi did not refuse, signed and stamped, and the agreement between the two parties was reached.
As for Xu Yi's request to establish Wind Message Battalion, it was naturally approved by Long Wenzhang. Since he was optimistic about Xu Yi's future and looked forward to forming a strong support, he naturally would not restrict Xu Yi in these insignificant matters.
Of course, Long Wenzhang will not treat Lei Chiyan all at once. He made it clear that if others want to cause trouble for Lei Chiyan, he will not get involved.
Xu Yi also responded.
He came to negotiate with Long Wenzhang because of one thing: Long Wenzhang was his direct superior. Youdao is the highest official level that can kill people. There is also a saying that people are as high as those who don't ask for help.
He can easily defeat Song Huaishan and others. Apart from the fact that he doesn't care about the forces behind Song Huaishan and others, the biggest factor is that he is the direct superior of Song Huaishan and others. He has many means to let Song Huaishan and others taste the iron fist of power.
In the same way, what he can do to Song Huaishan and others, Long Wenzhang can also do to him.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to obtain Long Wenzhang's understanding. After analyzing Long Wenzhang's psychology, the negotiation was successful.
After all, Long Wenzhang is not as carefree as him and can mess around. On the premise of ensuring his main interests, Long Wenzhang is really not willing to be his enemy.
The most important point is that Long Wenzhang recognizes that Xu Yi is telling the truth. With what Xu Yi has done, it is indeed impossible to work deeply within this system.
After coming out of Long Wenzhang's mansion, Xu Yi rushed to Xia Sibo's house. When he arrived, the person who greeted him was still Steward Xia, but Steward Xia looked extremely miserable. He was wrapped in heavy gauze. He gasped a lot when he took a step.
Seeing Xu Yi, Steward Xia immediately prostrated themselves, gasping for air, and had no words to apologize.
It turned out that because he secretly secretly secreted Xu Yi three hundred Incense Bead, when it came to light, Xia Sibo was really angry, even the most beloved Zhen Niang begged for mercy, but it didn't work, so he directly beat Steward Xia severely. After the beating, Steward Xia was not allowed to rest, forcing him to suffer injuries.
At this moment, when Steward Xia saw the rightful owner coming, he was almost frightened out of his wits. He had no way to apologize and kowtowed desperately, begging Xu Yi not to bring matters to Xia Sibo.
Perhaps the commotion was so loud that it alarmed Xia Sibo, who actually came to greet Xu Yi in person. Xu Yi pointed at Xia Sibo and said, "Old Xia, it's only three hundred Incense Bead, but it still kills people? I think it's almost the same, forget it, anyway, you will be killed by them sooner or later."
Steward Xia fainted after a "grumpy" sound. He didn't expect that Xu Yi would dare to call Xia Sibo "Old Xia" to his face, nor did he expect that Xu Yi would complain about such a trick. He was so furious that he fainted directly.
"What are you doing here? The account between us should be settled clearly."
Just after Xu Yi was introduced into the study, Xia Sibo spoke. He really didn't want to have anything to do with this dangerous person.
