Chapter 565: True And False, False And True
Chapter 565: True And False, False And True
After the shadow guards and all sects and sects had left, a cold-faced guard in green clothes walked up to Ming Qi, bowed and said, "Eldest son, the Patriarch asked you to go to the study."
Ming Qi nodded and walked towards the study.
Ming Family Study
Ming Xun looked at the empty dark compartment under a floor tile in the study, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but the disappointment on Ming Xun's face only lasted for a moment, and then he changed into a majestic expression neither happy nor sad.
As if what Ming Xun lost this time was insignificant.
Ming Qi knocked and walked in from the outside, cupped hands bowed and said: "Father."
Ming Xun turned around and looked at Ming Qi and said: "The one who should come is still unstoppable, the Spy of Chu, well-deserved reputation."
Ming Qi saw that the opened secret compartment was empty, and couldn't help but sink in his heart: "Father, what should I do? The contract was stolen, wouldn't the Zhao court immediately start to clear father's secret gangsters?"
Ming Xun smiled and said, "Who said the contracts they stole are all real?"
Ming Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "Father, what do you mean is that the contract they stole is fake?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said, "It's true, but not entirely true."
Ming Qi was startled, and said in surprise: "Could it be that father had predicted this day long ago? Then why didn't father make it all fake?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said: "Spy Shadow is not so confused that he doesn't even have the ability to distinguish between true and false. If a few fake contracts are mixed in a stack of real contracts, then the fake contracts will have credibility. If there is a little bit of truth mixed into the contract, it will be considered all fake, let alone a fake contract. In that case, it will be easy to see through. Everything in the world is true or false, and there is no absolute Is it true or false?"
Ming Qi immediately bowed his cupped hands and said, "The child has been taught!"
Ming Xun said, "Go find a shovel."
Although Ming Qi didn't understand, he went out quickly and brought a shovel over, but when he came in, he found that Ming Xun had already moved the floor around the hidden compartment.
Ming Xun looked at Ming Qi and said, "Dig."
Ming Qi nodded, and began to dig the soil vigorously with the shovel, digging down from around the hidden space, and soon dug a big hole with the hidden space as the center.
The shovel went down the hidden grid, digging out handfuls of soil, even rubbing against his body.
Finally, a small box was dug out. Ming Xun shoveled it up with a shovel and asked, "Father, this is..."
Ming Xun took out the box, opened it, and inside was a stack of contracts.
The paper of these deeds has been slightly yellowed, and it looks like it has been a few years old.
Ming Qi looked at the contract in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Is this also a contract?"
Ming Xun said with a smile: "No one in the world can surpass the spy shadow's intelligence capabilities, but they never thought that there is a secret compartment under the secret compartment."
Ming Qi was surprised and said: "Father has already divided the contract into two parts? One is hidden in the secret compartment, and the other is hidden in the rammed earth under the secret compartment, in order to avoid the spy shadow's pursuit?"
Ming Xun nodded and said, "That's right, true and false, false and false, who can fully detect it?"
"So that's how it is." Ming Qi looked admiring, but suddenly his expression changed: "No! Father, if the Shadow Guard can find this information so quickly, there must be an internal response in the Ming family. Be careful that there are ears behind the walls."
Ming Xun laughed and said, "Of course my father knows that walls have ears, so don't panic."
Ming Qi asked doubtfully, "Father, if the partition wall had ears, they would have heard about the existence of this other contract. If they came to steal it..."
Ming Xun shook his head and said, "Then let them steal it."
Ming Qi was startled, and said pleasantly: "Could it be that father has plans for a long time?"
Ming Xun said with a smile: "If they don't come to steal, this contract is true; if they come to steal, this contract is false."
Ming Qi didn't understand it at first, but he suddenly thought of what his father said to be true and false, false and true, and immediately admired him: "Father is really brilliant!"
Ming Xun said: "Later, my father will give you a list of the stolen contracts. You and Liu'er sneak back to the country of Zhao, tell them about the stolen contracts, and let them leave the capital immediately and take action in advance."
Ming Qi pursed his lips and said, "Father, now that our Ming family has been targeted by Chu's shadow guards, how can my second brother and I get out?"
Ming Xun shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, although the shadow guards have noticed you, they won't stop you."
Ming Qi wondered, "Why?"
Ming Xun said: "There is no benefit in stopping you, neither in the Shadow Guard nor in the Chu State, but if we can contact these generals, this will be beneficial to the Chu State, and they will be happy to see it succeed."
Ming Qi asked again: "These contracts in father's hands..."
Ming Xun sighed and said: "If this uprising can break into the vicinity of Gyeonggi, then this contract will be of great use to us. If it cannot be achieved, or even fails, then let this contract be hidden in the world, but Now it seems that the possibility of failure of this uprising exceeds 70%, are you afraid?"
Ming Qi said with firm eyes: "My child is willing to live and die with his father and establish a brand new Zhao country! It's just... the third brother is still young after all... If my Ming family fails, we should keep a kindling."
Ming Xun said: "Zhou'er, I have my own arrangements, so you can go."
Ming Qi cupped his hands for the last time, and said: "Go now, baby!"
After finishing speaking, Ming Qi left the study.
Ming Xun put the contract box in his hand back to its original position, and re-compacted the soil to cover the floor. After doing this, Ming Xun walked out without paying attention.
Whether it is a stolen contract or a contract that has not been stolen, several of these contracts are fake.
But the names on these fake contracts are not scribbled. The names on these fake contracts are all treacherous ministers of Zhao who only flatter their beards and even lower their eyebrows to please foreign enemies.
Among them, Qin Hui, the traitor of Zhao Guo, had the highest official position.
The treacherous prime minister Qin Hui corrupted the law, framed loyalists, filled his own pockets, and even groveled to the foreign race for glory. When General Long defeated the foreign race and had to sign a contract to pay the old coin, he was the one who facilitated it.
Sometimes I really have to admire that the technology of raising dogs from other races is really top-notch, and they even raised them above the temples of Zhao Guo, and they can still occupy high positions!
It's really scary to think about it!
It was precisely because Zhao State had such an official who harmed the country and the people that Ming Xun added a few false contracts to the contract.
He knew that Zhao Guo would definitely buy this information from Chu State.
In this way, when Emperor Zhao has Qin Hui's name in the stack of contracts, he will definitely have doubts about this person.
Even if he is really lucky enough to see through that the contract is fake, it is useless.
Because this contract was obtained from him no matter whether it was true or not, even if he knew it was false, Zhao Huang would still have a grudge in his heart.
This is human nature.
It takes a long time to restore trust that is lost temporarily.
This is an opportunity he won for himself and also for Zhao Guo.
The State of Zhao is not only the State of Zhao for their Song royal family, but also the State of Zhao for all the people of the State of Zhao.
Even if he failed in the uprising in the end, if he could bring down the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Hui for Zhao Guo, wouldn't that be another kind of success?
