Fang Yuan laughed and said, "Ruan Qi, have you forgotten? This isn't a public trial, it's a stage play of political struggle! How true can it be? It's just whatever the people in power want to say! How can it be true? Brother Qi, you're obsessed!"
Ruan Qi suddenly woke up, yes!
The truth they originally knew did not contain any intention to hide or tamper with the truth, but this public trial became a battleground between two forces.
It’s a war of public opinion!
No matter how true the truth of this public trial seems, it cannot stand up to scrutiny!
Ruan Qi sighed, "But these evidences really look real, and what the witnesses said really sounds like the truth!"
"Brother Qi, I believe that all this evidence is true, and the witnesses are telling the truth!"
"Ah! How is that possible? Which one of these is the truth?!"
"The evidence is true, but hiding another part of the truth may completely change the truth! The witnesses are telling the truth. However, this is what they believe to be the truth, and the truth may be completely different. Even if it is true, the truth may be completely different if it is guided! Therefore, no matter how true the evidence and witness testimony are, the truth is what we originally knew."
Ruan Qi was really impressed by Fang Yuan who did not waver at all from beginning to end.
Although Fang Yuan may have no experience and no scheming in political schemes, he can always get to the essence directly and stick to his heart, without being burdened by external things!
From this point of view, Fang Yuan is truly a qualified leader!
Whether it is in terms of team or territory.
…
Jin Chen watched the public trial that was confusing right and wrong, and asked hesitantly, "Father, is this really okay?"
Jin Mao looked very satisfied: "Why, you can't stand it?"
"Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong with that?! As long as the goal is achieved."
"Purpose? Father, what is the purpose? Do you need to clear Wu Zheng's name?"
"Clearing Wu Zheng's name is just one of his goals. Wu Zheng is very concerned about his reputation, especially among the people. Zheng Yuan joined him because of his good reputation among the people."
"Really? I can't tell."
"This is the family tradition that the Wu family has always maintained. Their reputation among the nobles has fluctuated, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes good, sometimes evil. However, their reputation among the common people is excellent! This is especially true among the merchants. Before the Corpse Demon Disaster, the Wu family was the strongest supporter behind the merchants in our territory."
"I see. Then it's no surprise that Zheng Yuan chose the Wu brothers."
This is the fortune of a family! After long-term funding and support for the development of merchants, the harvest has finally come.
"Well, after Zheng Yuan became a Tiandao mercenary, he had to choose to trade with others. The reason he chose to trade with the lord was because the Wu family chose to support the lord. Therefore, Wu Zheng rescued Zheng Yuan, which was also a moral obligation."
"So, there's something so entangled in this matter?"
Although Jin Chen and Zheng Yuan are both Tiandao mercenaries, they are not familiar with each other.
Zheng Yuan and Jin Chen were from different social classes and had no common language. Furthermore, Zheng Yuan seemed to be quite hostile to the nobility and feudal families, with the exception of the Wu family.
The other two were not like Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi, who were on the same mission with him. They were separated by Wu Zheng and belonged to different factions. Naturally, they had less contact and did not know each other well.
Jin Mao taught Jin Chen, "So, as a family head, you must pay attention to the people's hearts. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Father."
Jin Mao truly values the people's well-being. This is evident from the large number of people from the territory serving as council members. Among the other eight deacons, one is a citizen of the territory, a sign that he values the people of the territory.
In the current territory, the people's hearts are basically on Jinmao's side.
"Since public opinion is so important, why bother whitewashing Wu Zheng? Letting him gain a good reputation for nothing?"
"Because it's politically necessary. He's now my staunch ally. I need to give him a benefit. This benefit is what he needs, and I won't feel bad giving it to him, so I thought of this. In fact, even if I didn't do it, Wu Zheng's methods can still clear it up in the future. However, it's not as natural as what I did, and it's just a piece of cake. This is much more cost-effective than a business deal."
"Father, aren't you afraid that Wu Zheng will betray us and become our enemy?"
"Whether enemies or allies, both require management. If you manage well, enemies can become allies. If you manage poorly, even staunch allies can become your enemies at any time."
Jin Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand, Father. I will manage my relationship with Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi well."
Recently, the three of them have indeed become increasingly distant.
If my father hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid we might have really turned from allies into enemies.
Then, their family would be in danger.
He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Their family was able to come to power because of the influence of the three of them. If someone knocked him around, it would be no joke!
Their family might collapse immediately.
Thinking of this, Jin Chen was really scared.
Jin Mao felt relieved when he saw that Jin Chen understood his suggestion.
His son is so unreasonable that it really makes him, as a father, worry a lot.
During the time when Jiang and his group were trying to win over the Tiandao mercenaries, I became increasingly distant from Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi. Isn't this cutting off my own roots?
I really don't know what to say to Jin Chen. Even if he wants to learn management support, he shouldn't neglect his two comrades!
Don't they have a communication system? Even if they're not on a mission together, can't they still communicate through it? What a fool!
Especially at this point, Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi must not allow any accidents to happen, otherwise, they will definitely lose!
…
On Gu Xing's side, everyone was almost going crazy watching this farce-like public trial.
"Captain, are you just going to let them plot against our Gu family without fighting back?"
Gu Xing was also very angry, but now was also a critical period for the plan, and he couldn't alert the enemy! "If you can't bear it, you will ruin the big plan"!
"Don't mind them, they'll cry someday!"
Gu Qing glanced around and asked, "How is the plan going?"
A team member said
"Captain, it's all done. Captain, now is the time, shouldn't we reveal our trump card?"
Gu Xing frowned and glanced at the person who asked the question. After getting to know the situation again, he said to everyone, "The plan is going well. I will use my trump card now."
After Gu Xing left, everyone was wondering what Gu Xing's trump card was.
But no one knows.
Gu Xing is the protagonist today, so he naturally attracts widespread attention.
Gu Xing’s departure touched the hearts of many people.
