Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

When the Stone Street Autonomous Chapter was mentioned, the two Stone Street jade masters showed obvious astonishment.

"Autonomous Chapter..." Shi Yue couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to say that all this is for the Autonomous Chapter?"

Wang Luole said: "Yes, what I want to say is exactly what I want to say."

Shi Yue was immediately embarrassed: "I, I just made a slip of the tongue! Please don't hold on to me, let alone become the Riddler!"

Wang Luo then explained: "This is just my personal guess, but after sorting out all the pros and cons, I think this guess has the highest probability of hitting the target. Let's start with the analysis from the Zhang family, the direct parties to this matter. The status of the Zhang family in Stone Street, in fact, He is quite aloof. He holds a jade talisman, is extremely wealthy, and has friends with many wealthy businessmen in Shangcheng District. They have almost no desire in Shijie, and they only covet the jade talisman in Shi Yue's hand. But even so, the Zhang family does not want it at all. No need to do anything extra, as long as you wait patiently, you can naturally get the jade talisman in Shi Yue's hand in about ten years."

Shi Yue couldn't help but retort: ​​"I won't give in!"

Wang Luo said: "Of course you will, because this is a simple matter of weighing the pros and cons. When your persistence will only make the Shi family more of a joke, you can only choose to let go even if you are reluctant to give up."

"How could it become a joke..."

"Of course not now. A girl who just graduated from elementary school less than two years ago has shouldered tens of millions of debts left by her father on her own. She works three jobs every day, even if her personal cultivation is delayed. When encountering a bank He arbitrarily raises interest rates and never admits defeat. Normal people will be moved by this kind of passionate story, and the respect you get in Stone Street comes from this. "

Hearing this, Shi Yue had a vague understanding, and his expression became a little sad.

"But what if we push the timeline back ten years? An old girl who is nearly 30 years old has no serious job and does odd jobs every day. Her cultivation is still stagnant at the level ten years ago, and her personal love life is even more blank. Even Your originally delicate and beautiful appearance has become rough due to being busy outside for a long time and neglecting to maintain it. Familiar elders will still call you Xiaoyue, but the urchins on the street have already called you Aunt Shi, and those without tutoring will still call you. Suddenly he ran past you, called you a crazy woman, and then walked away. "

"Crazy woman..."

"A woman who has chased an unrealistic dream for ten years and still hasn't looked back, is she not a crazy woman? A passionate drama will still feel fresh after one or two years, but after ten years it will feel like you are doing it on purpose If you work hard to maintain your character, you will think that you are greedy for the Shi family's false reputation and are unwilling to part with the jade talisman in your hand. At this time, every day you try to persist is adding to the already hopeless reputation of the Shi family. A stamp of shame, and Zhang Yu only needs to promise to pay off your debts at this time, and also provide you with a small house and arrange a good job. Even if you don't want to accept it, you won't be able to withstand the verbal criticism of the neighbors. "

Wang Luo's story made Shi Yue's hair stand on end and her stomach ached.

Kong Zhang sighed and concluded this off-topic story: "So, why are the Zhang family unwilling to wait patiently? They have been waiting for the jade talisman for at least a hundred years, but they have to rush to it when Shi Yue's reputation is at its best. Do you want success?"

Wang Luo said: "The Zhang family may not be anxious, but Bolan Village is obviously very anxious, because in the whole matter, the Zhang family is just a pawn, and Bolan Village is the chess player behind the scenes. As for why Bolan Village urges the Zhang family to come and seize the jade The talisman obviously cannot be for the jade talisman itself. After all, even if you gather three jade talismans, you cannot summon the dragon to make a wish... So the only possibility, or the only value of the Shijie jade talisman, is that it can influence the autonomy seal. "

"Can it influence the autonomy seal?" Shi Yue couldn't help but ask, "The jade talisman only has a certain appeal in the hearts of people in Shijie. How can it affect the autonomy seal at the level of great law?"

Wang Luo said: "Of course it cannot have a positive influence. For example, if you want to expand the scope of autonomy, even if you call hundreds of thousands of people on the streets as the Jade Lord, you will only be ruthlessly suppressed. But on the other hand, what if you transfer the autonomy? ? Or even the abolition of the Seal of Autonomy? For example, if you collect three jade talismans and declare that you want to abolish the Seal of Autonomy on behalf of the people of Shijie... Then even if hundreds of thousands of people in Shijie oppose it, there is enough reason for the higher-ups to take action. , Stone Street has no autonomy from now on.”

As soon as this conclusion came out, Shi Yue and Kong Zhang gasped.

Because this trick really works!

In fact, strictly speaking, this trick has been done many times in the past!

Shijie autonomy is a glorious tradition that has been passed down from more than a thousand years ago. It is an honor earned by the ancestors of the Shi family with their illustrious military exploits. When Rongcheng was first built, Shijie was a country within a country, and the head of the Shi family had more authority than the governor of Rongcheng. The Shijie Autonomy Chapter was written into the great law by Lord Zhu Wang himself. Unless the head of the Shi family voluntarily gives up this privilege, no one else in the world can abolish it except Lu Zhiyao himself.

Then, the head of the Shi family volunteered.

Glory cannot withstand the wear and tear of time. As the Shi family's fortunes decline, the family encounters difficulties many times. Either the core children cause catastrophic disasters, or the family's operations are unfavorable and they owe sky-high debts. At this time, the head of the Shi family would take out the ancestral secret treasure to avert danger.

This secret treasure is naturally the Stone Street Autonomy Seal. The unscrupulous family owners in the past generations have repeatedly sold their autonomy in exchange for the continuation of the family. As it continues to this day, the authority of the family head has been divided into three and turned into three jade talismans, so that the head of the Shanshi family himself is no longer qualified to sell autonomy seals!

In fact, the autonomy chapter of Shijie has long been close to being in name only. The small white building of Qingpingsi is like a nail in the coffin in advance, making fun of the so-called autonomy of this place.

But the Autonomous Chapter has not died after all. Even after thousands of years of low-priced selling by countless Shi family members, the Autonomous Chapter has always retained some of its broken limbs in the Great Law.

The purpose of Bolanzhuang obviously lies in this remaining autonomy chapter.

Shi Yue asked again: "But now, the so-called Shijie autonomy has long been close to being in name only. With the scale of Bolanzhuang, is it necessary to go to war in such a big way for a small profit?"

Kong Zhang pondered: "Thousands of years ago, the Shi family sold its autonomy for the first time, and the buyer got the entire Yuexie Street. Then he transferred it to the Rongcheng Governor's Mansion, returning the power to the orthodoxy. In return, the Governor's Mansion He was given many privileges within the law... To this day, the Wei family is a famous wealthy family in Rong City. "

Shi Yue said: "But the current Stone Street is obviously not worth that much."

"Alas, rich people have their own plans, but it's not something that an old man like me who sets up a stall can understand..." Kong Zhang sighed and then mused, "But indeed, if this matter is really very beneficial... Picture, in the past few decades, it was not the Zhang family’s turn to be there, and the wealthy families in Shangcheng District should have started fierce competition. "

Wang Luo said: "There is no need to speculate here. If you want to know the answer, just ask the person involved directly."

"The person involved?" Kong Zhang was surprised, "You want to ask Gu Shishi directly?"

"Of course it can't be Gu Shishi. The eldest lady's palace is even deeper than Zhang Yu's. She will never say anything she doesn't want to say, and I have nothing to do with her for the time being. So this time I have to settle for the next best thing and ask Another party."

"Zhang Yu? Hasn't he already surrendered to Bolan Village? I'm afraid he won't talk to us."

"So of course I'm not asking Zhang Yu himself, but a person who I'm afraid Zhang Yu himself has ignored."

After a pause, Wang Luo couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, Mr. Kong, are there any reliable supper restaurants in Stone Street? Recommend a good one to me. I'm going to visit the client."
