Need for a Guard

Tian Fen looked at the sly gleam in Shi Yue's eyes, but he didn't quite understand it in his heart, and said blankly, "But I don't feel that I have gained much benefit."

Shi Yue shook his head, and said with a strange smile: "The Beicheng Gang searched for the people's fat and anointment, which caused the common people to complain and dare not speak out. Today, under the banner of General Tian, ​​I arrested those hooligans and killed them all at once. The people were shocked, weeping with gratitude and crying bitterly..."

Tian Fen frowned, seeing that Shi Yue's expression did not seem to be fake, he was puzzled and said, "Why are the people's reactions so extreme?"

Shi Yueruo said meaningfully: "General Tian, ​​Shuiman hanged himself! Those common people have been bullied by the Beicheng gang for a long time, and their grievances have almost reached the point where they can't bear it, but no one came to help them!"

"However, General Tian dared to act in time, uphold justice, and send charcoal in a timely manner. Can these people not be grateful to General Tian?"

"Well said! Well said!" Hearing what Tian Fen said, he was convinced and clapped his hands in agreement.

Shi Yue was quite proud, and raised his head and said: "Now in that busy market, there are rumors about General Tian's heroic deeds everywhere, saying who among the black-clothed guards would dare to fight against the Beicheng Gang? Only General Tian, ​​who cares about the common people, is the only one who cares about the common people. Master, how can we control the life and death of our people?"

Tian Fen's heart trembled when he heard the words, he raised his eyes, but heard Shi Yueruo said with deep meaning: "General Tian, ​​what is prestige, this is prestige!"

"You have the military power in your hands, you have won the appreciation of the emperor, and you have given him an olive branch. If you gain the popular support and prestige again, General Tian, ​​I can't imagine how brilliant you will be once you take off. To put it bluntly, Is Mr. Kang really superhuman? It's not because of luck."

Seeing Tian Fen's eyes flushed with excitement, Shi Yue said again: "Now a very good opportunity is in front of us, we just need to see how Mr. Tian grasps it! Doesn't it mean that Prince Weng and General Xiangning are kind?"

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

Tian Fen recited these words silently in his heart, remained silent for a while, raised his eyes to look at Shi Yue, and said coldly and softly, "Why do you help me like this?"

Shi Yue knew that the answer to this question was not good, and Tian Fen would be suspicious, so he hurriedly stood up, and said in a sonorous voice: "Shi San actually has selfish intentions in helping General Tian."

"A man is born to be a hero, and dies to be a hero! I, Shi San, want to do great things and create a great cause. Hey... It's a pity that the family is dying and there is no way out. I can only pin all my hopes on the general. body."

"General, you are both wise and brave, and you have the right time and place. If you can convince the people, you will win the harmony of people. It is like the three characters of heaven, earth and man. How can you not succeed?"

"It is precisely because I see that General Tian is born with a noble character, is extraordinary, and has great ambitions, so I loyally take refuge in him. I hope that with the help of General Tian's prestige, I will kill all over the world and fulfill my ambition."

"Moreover, General Tian also knows the secret. The hatred between me and Nan Batian is irreconcilable. Either he dies or I die..."

After Shi Yue finished speaking, he stood aside imposingly, and did not avoid Tian Fen's sweeping gaze, and looked at him solemnly.

Tian Fensheng is suspicious, vicious and vicious. The person he wants to use must be loyal to him and unreservedly tear his heart apart to see it.

If Shi Yue answered, it would be to put a high hat on him and completely hide his greedy thoughts, which would make him suspect that Shi Yue had other plans.

What Shi Yue said at this moment revealed his strong ambition, which also allowed Tian Fen to see what was going on in Shi Yue's heart. The sonorous and awe-inspiring expression did not seem to be fake, and the doubts in his heart were finally dispelled!

Tian Fen patted Shi Yue's shoulder, smiled wistfully, and sighed: "Of all my confidants, including Niu Xi, Wang Qinian and others, only you, Shi San, understand my thoughts best."

After a pause, he resolutely said: "Go ahead and do it! As long as you have figured out the pros and cons, go ahead and do it, but remember to notify me in advance, otherwise how can I cooperate with you?"

Hearing this, Shi Yue looked at Tian Fen's eyes that were flushed with excitement, and stared at each other for a long time, both of them burst out laughing tacitly.

Shi Yue already knew that from now on, he would have a completely different status in Tian Fen's eyes from his confidants such as Niu Xi and Wang Qinian.

Niu Xi, Wang Qinian and the others were merely loyal, acting loyally and bravely for Tian Fen.

As for himself, he was the chief think tank who helped Tian Fen make suggestions and lead Tian Fen out of the predicament. Of course, such talents should be treated differently.

Shi Yue understood his status, and no longer pretended to be tender. He sat beside Tian Fen carelessly, and said with deep meaning: "General Tian, ​​there is an matter right now that requires your cooperation!"

Tian Fen narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

Shi Yue sighed and said: "General Tian, ​​the brothers' military salaries cannot be paid on time. Although the responsibility lies with the golden tiger, the brothers can't just sit and eat. Therefore, some brothers have dirty hands and feet to make a living, so they borrowed money from the common people... ..."

Of course Tian Fen understood what Shi Yue meant by "borrowing"!

He also heard Shi Yue say: "Although the brothers can earn a lot of money and solve the problem of livelihood, but, Mr. Tian, ​​this will greatly affect your reputation. You should be short-sighted. No matter what, you must find a way to block everyone Mouth..."

"Golden Tiger!"

Tian Fen thought about it, and sighed, "The Golden Tiger is rich in private pockets, everyone knows it, but my current status is still a bit different from that of the Golden Tiger, so I shouldn't fall out. What should I do?"

Seeing Shi Yue rolling his eyelids, Tian Fen smiled: "Shi San, if you have any second thoughts, tell them quickly."

Shi Yue smiled badly and said: "From my point of view, money is something outside of the body, so don't worry about it. Didn't the emperor give the general a mansion? Then you sell the mansion, turn it into silver taels, and give back to the brothers. This is how you do it." , although my lord lost a mansion, but the benefits are great..."

Tian Fen said: "How do you say this?"

Shi Yue said: "Selling the mansion, firstly, it can show that General Tian is unassuming and low-key, and it can also make Mr. Kang feel at ease with you; secondly, giving money to the brothers will not only make the brothers no longer ask for money. The common people 'borrow money' to make the common people feel grateful to Lord Tian, ​​and you can also buy the hearts of the brothers, so that everyone will be more loyal to you, the general, and win the reputation of loving soldiers like sons."

"There is another most powerful method!" Shi Yueyin said with a smile: "As long as we publicize this matter, there will be a lot of trouble in the city. At least among the tens of thousands of black-clothed guards, your reputation, General Tian, ​​is much higher , and the reputation and status of Jin Jinhu, a miser, will definitely decline seriously, is this a big opportunity for the general?"

Tian Fen heard this clever plan of counting birds with one stone, and couldn't help but smile, and praised repeatedly: "A wonderful plan! A wonderful plan!"

Seeing Tian Fen's overjoyed appearance, Shi Yue suggested viciously: "General, if you can sell the mansion that the emperor gave you to Jin Jinhu, then this scene will be even more exciting..."
