Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

It can be said that as long as he is by Wei Wu's side, Master Zheng's lifeline is in an unknown state.

Commonly known as Schrödinger's lifeline.

Standing opposite Wei Wu, Master Zheng lowered his head in thought for a long time before raising his head and slowly speaking:

"It's not difficult to infiltrate the White Lotus, but it's very troublesome to gain control of the discourse, and it requires opportunity and time."

"There are also different levels of status within the White Lotus Sect. One needs to make contributions to the Holy Sect in order to gradually improve their status."

"but……"

As Master Zheng was speaking, Wei Wu took out the handwritten letter written by Han Yao and placed it on the table.

"This is a letter of recommendation from Han Yao. If I take this with me to see Dharma King Qingyang, will it make things easier?"

"Handwritten letter?"

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Master Zheng frowned even tighter, then looked at Wei Wu and asked:

"Uncle Changle, can you let me take a look at the contents of this letter?"

"No problem. I haven't sealed the letter yet. Feel free to take it out and read it."

Upon hearing this, Master Zheng immediately stepped forward, took the envelope in his hand, opened the letter and examined it carefully.

Ten seconds later, Master Zheng put down the letter, looked at Wei Wu with a serious expression and said:

"Uncle Changle, thank goodness you let me take a look at it. Otherwise, if you had really taken this letter, I'm afraid you would have been in danger."

"Ok?"

Wei Wu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the letter, then looked up at Master Zheng and asked:

"Tell me, what's wrong with the content of this letter?"

"There's nothing wrong with the content of the letter; the problem is the writing style and the lack of code."

As he spoke, Master Zheng picked up the letter again, spread it flat on the table, and then continued:

"This letter is addressed to Dharma King Qingyang, so it will definitely not use flowery sentences. Instead, it will be brief and concise."

"Because Dharma King Qingyang is a rough man himself, he hates the half-spoken, half-concealed way of speaking that scholars use most."

"I've also seen the letters Han Yao wrote to Dharma King Qingyang in the past. They were all written in the style of ordinary people, not this."

Having said that, Master Zheng stretched out his fingers and tapped several places on the letter paper.

"The White Lotus Sect is a traitorous force. They wouldn't write something in black and white unless it was absolutely necessary. They'd keep it hidden."

"You said this is a letter of recommendation from Han Yao to Dharma King Qingyang, so there must be coded messages hidden in these places."

"Normally, these positions should be listed as 'Talent Available' in that order, but this letter doesn't have anything."

"If you take this letter to Dharma King Qingyang, he will immediately notice the problem and attack you on the spot."

After hearing Master Zheng's explanation, Wei Wu couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision not to put all his chips on Han Yao.

As expected, eggs cannot be put in one basket, they still have to be invested separately.

If we had really dealt with Master Zheng yesterday, we would not have discovered the problems in this letter.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu raised his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Sit down and talk!"

"Yes."

Master Zheng carefully sat down halfway, and then Wei Wu spoke again:

"go on."

"Yes!"

Master Zheng nodded, and then continued:

"If you want to control power, even if this letter is correct, I don't recommend that you take it to see Dharma King Qingyang."

"First of all, Han Yao is one of the Four Dharma Kings. It is impossible for Dharma King Qingyang to reuse the talents he recommends."

"When the time comes, I might just assign you a sinecure. You might have some people under you, but you won't have any real power."

After hearing what Master Zheng said, Wei Wu also felt that it made sense.

As a person in power, one will only value people he has trained, rather than people recommended by others.

Especially the White Lotus Sect, a rebellious force that would be severely punished by the imperial court once exposed.

Seeing Wei Wu nod in agreement with his statement, Master Zheng spoke in a more confident tone.

"Secondly, I don't recommend joining the White Lotus and working your way up from the bottom. Doing so would simply be a waste of time."

"Even if you climb up through meritorious service, if you're not a close confidant of the Dharma King, you won't be able to truly control the power of speech."

"Take Han Yao for example. The only ones who really have the final say around him are me and Lao Ma. The others are just tools he can use at will."

Looking at Master Zheng who was talking eloquently, Wei Wu's face was full of amusement.

Being able to point out these shortcomings, it can be said that he is worthy of his status as a legal advisor.

But being able to find fault is not a skill. Being able to give qualified suggestions and come up with effective solutions is a real ability.

So, after Master Zheng finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately said:

"Now that you've discussed the methods you don't recommend, I'd like to hear your recommended methods. Please give me some advice!"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Master Zheng secretly felt relieved that he had prepared himself mentally.

And I actually came up with a solution that has a high probability of being effective.

"Lord Changle, I do have an idea. I can't say it's absolutely effective, but if it succeeds, I'm sure I'll have the say."

Wei Wu grinned.

"tell me the story."

"Let Dharma King Qingyang take the initiative to invite you to join the White Lotus Sect. That way, once you join, you will have the right to speak and will not be suspected."

To be honest, this kind of nonsensical advice really makes people want to speak ill of others.

In fact, if Wei Wu hadn't been here, Shen Lin would have been ready to start cursing.

You say you can invite Dharma King Qingyang, but who are you?

It’s not surprising that Shen Lin would think this way, because that’s how literati speak.

They like to say half a sentence and leave the other half unsaid, deliberately making it seem like they are testing you.

Wei Wu didn't feel anything about this, it was just a matter of speaking habits.

Even Master Zheng himself may not have realized this.

As soon as he realized who he was talking to, he would immediately say everything he needed to say and apologize to himself.

The fact was just as Wei Wu thought. Master Zheng came to his senses as soon as he finished speaking.

The person he is facing now is not Han Yao, but Wei Wu, who can decide his life and death and does not care about his life or death.

After waking up in shock, Master Zheng immediately knelt down regardless of the injury on his leg.

"I have gotten carried away. I hope Lord Changle will forgive me!"

"You've come to your senses quickly, but next time, you won't have the chance to kneel."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I understand."

Wei Wu waved his hand casually.

"Okay, go on, what is your plan."
