Chapter 36 Four people form an alliance (Please collect and read)
Until then.
After performing meritorious service, a martial scholar returned to Shannan Dao and was promoted several levels in a row, and was appreciated by Governor Wang - his status was not just that of a martial scholar.
It is not a loss for him to marry a daughter.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
soon.
Three or four martial arts masters expressed their willingness to obey the government's arrangements and join Wuyun Tower as undercover agents.
At this time, Wei Tu looked at the martial arts master "Fu Zhizhou" who had taken the lead in rejecting the offer. Seeing that he was not moved, he put down his worries.
Hundred gold reward.
Married to the magistrate’s legitimate daughter…
These two additional rewards added by the prefect still could not make Wei Tu excited.
He still remembered the warning he gave himself when he was practicing martial arts at the Shan family.
—You can gain fame and improve your status through martial arts, but you must remember to avoid fighting and save your life.
He has a great future and there is no need to fight to the death for some trivial matters.
At this moment.
Rewards from the government.
Although it is heavy in Wei Tu's opinion, it would be unwise to waste one's life for this.
Wei Tu knew all the dozen or so martial arts masters who entered the hall. These people were all famous people who had participated in Taoist martial arts competitions.
Especially Fu Zhizhou is a popular candidate to win the championship in the current martial arts examination.
Wei Tu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked to Fu Zhizhou, poked the martial artist's elbow using Wei Fei's method before, and asked: "Martial Master Fu, do you still insist on the idea just now? Wei Mou also the same…"
He Zhifu has increased the reward. If any martial artist is ignorant and still refuses this task...
The consequences can be imagined.
This is to offend the parents of the government and the Marquis of Qianli.
Therefore, if Wei Tu wants to refuse this matter, he must find a few people to join forces with him and put pressure together to reduce Magistrate He's hatred of him.
Fu Zhizhou's reaction was somewhat similar to Wei Tu's. When he saw someone he didn't know behave like this, he frowned slightly.
However, after hearing what Wei Tu said, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed a little, and his eyes towards Wei Tu became a little more friendly.
“Fu and Martial Master Wei have the same idea and reject this matter.”
“First, a dozen or so people conspired, and the risk is too high. Even you and I are of clean origin, have a bright future, and have relatives in the same place, so we dare not leak the secret... But there is still a risk..."
“Both of them, Fu is not interested in rewards.”
"Three, He Zhifu...he only has one year left in his tenure as an official in Qingfeng Prefecture."
Fu Zhizhou thought for a moment, pulled Wei Tu to the corner of the hall, and lowered his voice.
“Wei and Brother Fu think alike.” Seeing that Fu Zhizhou shared his thoughts without hesitation, Wei Tu changed his title to Fu Zhizhou and called him “Brother Fu.”
Hearing Wei Tu call him "Brother Fu", Fu Zhizhou also showed a faint smile on his face, so he also changed the title and called Wei Tu "Brother Wei".
The two call each other brothers.
At this time, the two of them joined forces to reject Magistrate He and resist the pressure together, becoming equivalent to comrades in the trenches.
Again.
The two of them have the same fame.
They are all martial scholars in Jinke.
There is a sense of being in the same year.
“You and I can get a few more people together, and it’s best to get four or five people together,” Fu Zhizhou said.
Listen to this.
Weitu nodded and did not refuse.
The more people refuse, the less danger and pressure he and Fu Zhizhou will encounter.
"Martial Master Wei..." Wei Tu glanced at the audience and saw that Wei Fei was one of the few martial arts masters who did not come to Zhifu He's side, so he walked to Wei Fei and told him what he had discussed with Fu Zhizhou. .
"good."
“Plus me.”
Wei Fei didn’t hesitate too much and nodded directly in agreement.
Lean less.
Fu Zhizhou also grabbed a friend from the same county and walked in the direction of Wei Tu and Wei Fei.
This martial artist's name is "Kou Liang", and he is also a powerful figure in Jinke's martial arts examination.
“Four people are equivalent to one-third of the martial arts masters present.”
Wei Tu’s eyes moved slightly, gaining the confidence to reject Magistrate He.
His fame lies behind him. (It is difficult for the government to interfere with the results of the Taoist examination.)
Even if Magistrate He hated him, he could not do anything to them as martial arts scholars. At most, he would use his hands and feet to send them to remote places when they were serving as military attachés.
Compared with the danger of going to Wuyun Tower, this is nothing worth mentioning.
“The four of us will be hated if we reject Magistrate He together...”
“After leaving the government office, we will become brothers together.”
“Whoever is in trouble then, let’s help together!”
Fu Zhizhou, as the martial artist who had taken the lead in rejecting He Zhifu, and also had the best performance in martial arts examinations, naturally became the leader among the four.
Fu Zhizhou glanced around Wei Tu and the others, with a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice.
"good!"
“After we go out, we will become brothers together!”
Wei Tu and others were also moved after hearing this. After thinking for a while, they all nodded.
People of the same age, same hometown, and same family are the easiest people to form cliques for selfish purposes.
At this moment, the four of them each have friends from the same county, and they are all Jinkewu scholars... Facing Magistrate He, it is normal for them to "form cliques for personal gain".
…
Fu Yamen.
The living room of the back house.
“Martial men value profit, and the ancients will not deceive me.” Glancing at the group of martial artists gathered around him, He Zhifu showed a faint smile on his lips, secretly thinking that the situation was complete.
As long as one person is tempted to agree, others will also follow suit. This is the experience he has accumulated from being an official for many years.
As for the one or two thorns, if he later lures them with benefits and threatens them with words, they will obey his orders obediently.
However-
Just when Zhifu He was satisfied, he saw four martial arts masters walking over with their heads held high, saluting him with fists in their hands, and saying something that made him very unhappy.
“Zhifu He, the four of us are naturally clumsy and unfit to go undercover in Wuyun Tower. I would like to ask Zhifu He to agree to this matter.”
Wei Tu Si Humanity.
In an instant.
The whole hall was silent.
The eyes of everyone in the hall, including those of Governor He, the martial arts masters, and the rest of the servants and maids, all focused on the four Wei Tu...
Except for the astonishment of Magistrate He, everyone else's eyes were also filled with surprise and a little disbelief.
Zhifu He's face turned gloomy, and he looked coldly at Wei Tu and the other four people in the hall.
It’s enough to say that one person refuses.
When training sheep, one of the animals will always run around and be disobedient.
What’s more, it’s people.
but-
It is different when four people speak out together and speak in unison.
As soon as you hear it, it’s already connected in advance!
“The ancients have a saying, if the ruler is not secretive, his ministers will lose their integrity; if their ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity…”
“Your Majesty, the magistrate, has gathered our martial arts masters here. A dozen people are too many, in case there is a risk of... something leaking out..."
“Please forgive me for the death of my body and my difficulty in obeying my order.”
Fu Zhizhou took the lead and spoke.
"Fu Zhizhou?" Magistrate He obviously knew Fu Zhizhou. He looked at Fu Zhizhou carefully for a few times. Although he did not speak, everyone present felt his anger.
Official power is as high as a mountain!
More than a dozen martial arts masters discussed this matter together. Didn't he know that there was a risk of leaking secrets?
But by doing this, he would not make a "mistake" in this matter.
In the future, if the operation fails or the secret is leaked, the other military scholars who came here will be picked up, and he, the prefect, will not be involved.
At best, he is lax in his work.
one year later.
He left his post and was transferred abroad.
Who cares about the mess in Wuyun Building. ,
PS: There is foreshadowing in writing the plot...
Here at He Zhifu, some readers said that the risk of leaking secrets by more than a dozen people is high. I can only say... you don’t know how to be an official. Does He Zhifu want to find out the information about Wuyun Tower? He was giving an explanation to Governor Wang and indicating that he had done something.
A dozen or so people are strategizing. These dozen people are innocent and they are all reserve military attachés. The risk of leaking secrets is small. Even if the undercover agent fails in the future, they can find reasons to evade here.
This is the shrewdness of an official.
