Zhu Yunwen's ability to deceive people is undeniable. Of course, even though it's deception, it's based on a certain logic and is plausible.
So what he said is basically correct, and there are indeed such people; those behind-the-scenes bosses must also have such plans.
Although Zhu Yunxiang had guessed everything, he was still somewhat disappointed because he had originally imagined that the bosses behind the scenes might have only sent a group of men in black to kill him.
This eliminates the possibility that the boss wants to completely distance himself from the situation. However, since he seems to have deployed all the black-clad men he can, there's only one possibility: he wants to sever ties with these black men.
Once they sever ties, it means that the whereabouts of these behind-the-scenes bosses will no longer be known.
This is bad; it will cause a lot of trouble for the investigation and make it impossible to continue the investigation.
This allowed several bosses to escape justice.
Nevertheless, Zhu Yunwen still said to the masked, bald man:
"Why don't you tell me where those bosses' addresses are? It's not impossible that they're still there."
The bald, masked man was about to give out the address when he suddenly realized something and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Wait, why should I tell you? If I tell you, and the situation has reversed, what if we get caught? Wouldn't all those bosses get caught too?"
Zhu Yunwen stared at the bald, masked man and said:
"If I say you're not smart, you can at least analyze the situation to some extent; but if I say you're smart, the situation you analyze has absolutely nothing to do with your own life or death."
The masked, bald man looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and shook his head, then said:
"For example, if you tell me the address of the mastermind right now, and then you kill me, do you think the authorities would have a chance to find out the mastermind's location?"
The bald, masked man shook his head and said:
"Although I told you, I've already killed you, so naturally no one will know."
Zhu Yunwen also said:
"The second possibility is that you were arrested by the government troops. In that case, even if you didn't reveal the addresses of those behind-the-scenes bosses, it has nothing to do with you."
"You've been arrested, but your boss is still at large. You're just protecting your boss. You're truly loyal, aren't you? You're good dogs."
Upon hearing this, the bald, masked man's eyes widened. Zhu Yuntong said that what he said made sense. It seemed that in either of these two situations, it wouldn't matter if they revealed the address of the mastermind.
Even in the second scenario, if they were arrested by the authorities and their boss's address wasn't exposed, they would still have some sense of unease and resentment.
Bad people are least good at loyalty and most good at betrayal.
So after some thought, the bald, masked man finally smiled and said:
“You’re right. Today, neither situation affects me. Giving them their address, or even if I’m ambushed, it would be a good thing if we could find them. At least we wouldn’t have to be the scapegoats or have everyone pay the price for this.”
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, saying:
"So now you can tell me the address, right?"
The masked, bald man then gave an address: a luxurious mansion in a neighboring county.
After listening, Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, then said to the masked, bald man:
"So now you probably don't know any useful information, right?"
The masked, bald man nodded and said:
"I don't know anymore, so you can go on your journey in peace."
As the masked, bald man prepared to attack Zhu Yuntong, Zhu Yuntong smiled and spoke to those around him:
"We can get started now."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless soldiers rushed out and surrounded the dozen or so masked men.
The lewd, masked, bald man's expression changed, and he immediately looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:
"You did indeed set up an ambush here."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, saying:
"So you don't regret telling those wooden box owners the address they gave you, right? After all, you really didn't have a chance to leave alive and meet up with them."
And indeed, they were proven to be their scapegoats. They not only eliminated you burdens, but also saved you the thousand taels of silver they were supposed to give you.
Looking back now, would you still ask the question, "Who is more powerful, a smart person or a person with superior martial arts skills?"
Hearing this, the masked bald man trembled with rage. He never expected that they would be played again, and that they would be played by their own boss and the young man in front of them together, who could see the true nature of the matter clearly.
These masked men, however, seemed to be fools, completely oblivious to everything, and were being played by both sides.
In the end, he ended up in such a state.
It turns out that sometimes a sharp mind is more useful, while someone who is only physically strong but simple-minded will always be manipulated by others.
Thinking of this, the bald, masked man sighed helplessly, speechless. Soon, the government officials went to the address given by the bald, masked man and his companion to search the mansion of a wealthy family in the neighboring county.
However, no evidence was found to prove that Zhu Yunwen's guess was correct.
The bosses behind the scenes said that the address was fake and they wouldn't stay there to wait for them.
The purpose of doing so was to get rid of these black people. They were preparing to flee, and taking too many people with them would expose their identities.
So at crucial moments, they throw out these men in black. If they can kill Zhu Yunwen, all the better. If they can't, then capturing these guys is like helping these bosses get rid of some burdens and troubles.
Regardless of the outcome, the boss won't suffer any losses. By going against people with low IQs, Zhu Yunwen can often easily manipulate them.
However, these bosses were clearly not unintelligent, so Zhu Yunwen was unable to come up with effective measures to arrest them in a short period of time.
Ultimately, it will require local governments to unite and issue arrest warrants for these behind-the-scenes bosses.
After all, their identities have already been exposed, and once their identities are exposed, they can be easily tracked down in certain places.
In the Ming Dynasty, the identity of ordinary people is strictly controlled, and they need a certificate from the government to go anywhere.
Although it's possible that the magistrate of Nanjiang County had already provided proof for these behind-the-scenes bosses before they went to other counties.
However, going to other places was not so easy, so the focus of the search became a county town next to Nanjiang County.
As long as they can't leave that place, they'll find him sooner or later.
