After telling everyone about the rumors in Linzi, Chung Geng Sheng asked with a smile, "How do you feel now?"
Jiang Wang asked back, "Does anyone believe it?"
"Why not? Is it because you're the Tianjiao of Qi, the hero of Qi, and you're displaying the flag for your country on the Riverview Platform? "
Chung Geng Sheng said, "The statue on the altar is essentially just mud. It can be placed on the table or stepped on. Do you think you're invincible? Even the golden body of a Divine Descent expert can be broken, let alone your illusory halo. "
Jiang Wang didn't care at first, because it was basically nonsense. But after hearing Chung Geng Sheng's words, he couldn't help but ask, "How many people are stepping on this mud now?"
"They're all over Linzi." Chung Geng Sheng's gaze was faint as he counted with his fingers. "Not only are the streets and alleys full of curses, but there are also people from the imperial court who want to file a case against you. Some want to directly issue a warrant for your arrest, some want to thoroughly investigate Qingyang Town, and directly interrogate your subordinates … Even your Taixu Corner Tower in Tianfu City, there are people who want to nationalize it, suspecting that you have ulterior motives!"
Jiang Wang smiled.
"Your smile is a little ironic." Chung Geng Sheng chuckled.
"I just think …" Jiang Wang said, "I risked my life in the Bewildering World, I fought for Qi's glory on the Riverview Platform, what I've done, what I've achieved, should earn me a little bit of trust."
"Naturally, there are people who trust you." Chung Geng Sheng said, "For example, me and Fourteen."
"You don't understand." Jiang Wang shook his head. "Your trust is more because of feelings. What I'm saying is, why would those people who have never met me judge me based on a few words, but turn a blind eye to what I've really done? "
"You don't understand," Chung Geng Sheng said, "Most of the time, what people say has nothing to do with what you do. This is how the world works, Jiang Wang. Can't you see it clearly? When you're in power, you're at the top of the clouds, and everyone will look up at you. When you lose power, you'll fall to the ground. When passers-by pass by you, won't they step on you? It's just a matter of convenience! "
"Is that so?" Jiang Wang's expression was complicated.
"The person who flatters you today may also be the person who tramples on you in the future." Chung Geng Sheng suddenly laughed, "Don't be so serious, Official Jiang! I'm just letting you get used to it beforehand. No matter what, you are still a dignified third-rank official. There will be more of such things in the future! Although Qi was big, it was still very crowded at high places. The higher you go, the more you will experience! "
Jiang Wang understood. "What do you mean by letting me get used to it beforehand?"
Chung Geng Sheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's fine to say that you are a spy for the Pingdeng State, but it's also very bold to say that you are scheming to restore the country. Why do you think there are still people saying that you kicked widows' doors and dug up graves of families with no descendants? "
"Why?" Jiang Wang looked at him.
"I did it!"
Chung Geng Sheng was quite proud, "At that time, I didn't know whether you were alive or dead, so I just casually dealt with it as if you were still alive."
Jiang Wang roughly figured out his train of thought, but he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Even if you want to muddy the waters, you don't have to say that I dug up graves of families with no descendants, right?"
Chung Geng Sheng's fat flesh rippled with a smile, "So you're saying that you don't mind kicking widows' doors?"
Jiang Wang choked and was speechless. After a while, he said, "You're really something."
"You think that's the end of it?"
Chung Geng Sheng had a strange expression on his face, "There are also people saying that you and I are homosexual, saying that we've been looking for excuses to live together, from the Xiashan Villa to Yaoguang Square, inseparable all the time."
"I didn't do that," he added.
Jiang Wang was shocked, "Then who did it? What's the point of creating this rumor? "
"Who knows?" Chung Geng Sheng said indifferently, "The higher you stand, the more people can see you. And as for people, when there are more, there are all kinds of birds, some big, some small, some long, some short. "
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes, "Are you talking about people?"
"Hahaha." Chung Geng Sheng laughed, "I'm just livening up the atmosphere. Back to the main topic, do you know what this Young Master's ingenuity was this time? "
"You reacted at the first moment and muddied the water. That's already very ingenious," Jiang Wang said respectfully, "Is there anything more ingenious?"
Chung Geng Sheng snorted and waved his hand, "That's nothing."
But looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was enjoying it.
After all, it was the world's number one inner mansion's flattery. Although it was stiff, it was very effective.
"Although the water is muddy and people can't see clearly, you know." But you know … "Zhong Xuan Sheng looked at him and said," There really are fish in the water. "
Jiang Wang paused and said, "Yes."
In fact, he didn't care about the rumors that he had colluded with the Pingping State, that he had protected the remnants of the Yang family, and that he had killed the chief of detectives in Zhaoheng City. Because he had a clear conscience, and there would always be a way to find out the truth.
The only thing he couldn't be calm about was the fact that he had protected the King of Hell from entering the city.
In the end, it was because he had really done it!
Although his state of mind and situation at that time was different from now, what had happened couldn't be easily erased.
"There's no need to hide it," Chung Geng Sheng said, "At that time, we didn't have many choices. You didn't have a sense of belonging to Qi, so you had to fulfill your promise to Yin Guan. And I really needed your help, so I didn't want you to leave Linzi. At the end of the day, it was a choice we made together. In fact, I had a follow-up plan at that time. I wanted to send Yin Guan and the others to Beiya, but Yin Guan didn't trust you, so he didn't give me a chance to do it …
Of course, no matter how many reasons there are, it's still a problem. "
Chung Geng Sheng smiled, "I thought that things have changed with the passage of time. Since someone brought it up, it's a good time to solve this problem. "
"How to solve it?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chung Geng Sheng asked, "Did you pay attention to the rumor? Or did you skip it because you felt guilty? "
Jiang Wang frowned and repeated slowly, "They said that I was secretly a killer from the King of Hell. I protected the King of Hell from entering Linzi and helped them escape afterwards. Even my Qingyang Town was one of the outposts of the King of Hell."
Chung Geng Sheng asked, "Are you a killer from the King of Hell?"
"Of course not!" Jiang Wang said, "Yin Guan invited me, but I refused."
Chung Geng Sheng asked again, "Is there a hidden outpost of the King of Hell in Qingyang Town?"
"Of course there's nothing! Qingyang Town is clean, "Jiang Wang said.
"Very good." Chung Geng Sheng said, "The earliest rumor was that you protected the King of Hell from entering Linzi, colluding with King Qinguang and Coroner King to kill Su She, the president of the Jubao Merchants Association … The rest was added by me."
"The reason why a rumor is a rumor is because it doesn't have a 'source' and can't be 'believed'. Once it spreads, even the person who spread it first can't be the authority to explain it. Everyone has the right to explain it. Obviously, my additions have made it more informative, more methodical, and more convincing. "
"So?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chung Geng Sheng said, "Among all the rumors, this one is the most realistic, the most realistic, and the most likely to get irrefutable evidence. It can be said that it's your lifeline. So soon, someone will ask for a thorough investigation of Qingyang Town. I will mobilize political resources and do my best to oppose it. But in the end, this matter will be as they wish! "
At this point, Jiang Wang completely understood.
Qingyang Town could definitely withstand an investigation!
Since Qingyang Town wasn't an outpost of the King of Hell, and Jiang Wang wasn't a killer from the King of Hell, then the rumor that he protected the King of Hell from entering Linzi was naturally nonsense!
In fact, in this seemingly overwhelming black tide, this was Jiang Wang's only weakness.
And Chung Geng Sheng just gave it a push, and it was already smoothed out.
