Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 50 What is your superpower? I have money

"Mr. Jiuxu is well-informed."

Hearing this, Tang Bingwen frowned. He didn't like someone making a fuss about their sect rules, but since He Songling said so, he had to admit it.

"There are many rules in our sect, such as no outsiders are allowed to interfere in the business, no favors are accepted from anyone, no personal feelings are allowed to develop with the employer or the target, etc. But the most important ones are the three iron laws you mentioned. Even the head of the sect is not allowed to violate them."

"Why don't you tell me about it and see if what I found out is correct?" He Songling stretched out his hand towards Tang Bingwen, motioning him to tell us.

"Humph, of course you can. The rest of the sect rules can be discussed, but the three iron laws are red lines. If you cross them, you will die." Tang Bingwen snorted coldly and said, "First, disciples cannot escape privately. Anyone who jumps out of the gate without the unanimous consent of the sect leader and the elders will be killed."

"Well, this is to maintain the loyalty of the disciples, which makes sense. All the Qi refining, traps, and poisoning are taught by the Tang Sect. If you turn around and leave, that would be ridiculous. I would do the same. I can leave, but my skills will remain." He Songling nodded in agreement: "Then what about the second one?"

"Second, once you accept an order, you must carry it out to the end. Anyone who shirks or evades it for any reason will be killed."

"This is to increase work efficiency and improve execution." He Songling even clapped his hands in a fake manner: "It is said that the Tang Sect's golden signboard for hundreds of years is inseparable from the iron-clad sect rules."

"Third, the hierarchy is strict. It is strictly forbidden to manage beyond the level or the scope of authority. The position is stipulated to manage only the matters within the scope of responsibility. Anyone who violates it will be killed. If all the people in the previous level die, the people in the next level will automatically fill the position and become the people in the previous level."

"This one is even better. It is to protect the safety of senior managers and the overall operation of the Tang Sect." He Songling was still making fun of him: "Even if the enemy comes to attack us one day, let alone destroying one or two functional departments of the Tang Sect, even if they kill the sect leader, it will be useless. The Tang Sect can still operate as usual."

He Songling stood up after hearing this and said, "Hey, look, although the Tang Sect is an ancient sect like our Sanyi Sect that has been passed down since the Ming Dynasty, the rules of this sect are not simple and contain the essence of modern management."

"Thank you for your praise, sir." Tang Bingwen also stood up and looked at He Songling with narrowed eyes. He always felt that this kid was up to no good.

"Perhaps you all know me. I have nothing but some dirty money. I will also hire the Tang Clan to do business." He Songling's wealth is not just what he robbed from Huang Silang.

First of all, Huang Silang could come up with 1.8 million taels of silver, so his entire net worth was at least four times that. Otherwise, it would be too risky to pay one-third or even half of his net worth for a fake county magistrate, even if he had found someone to kill him along the way.

After breaking the Huang Silang watchtower, all the money was divided into four parts. The fake county magistrate did not take a penny, and the brothers who left took half of it, 900,000 yuan. Because in that operation, almost all the efforts were made by He Songling, the strange man, they were too embarrassed to take more. Half was left for the people of Echeng.

Of the remaining three, He Songling kept one for the Sanyi Sect, and asked the brothers who were going to Pudong to take the other two to the east, where they took some measures, such as purchasing mining rights, import and export trade, and investing in the bank of the Lao Chang government.

Money has made money over the years, and there is never too much money to support an army, but for the Tang Clan, it is no problem to flood the entire Tang Clan with silver.

The Qi seal on his hand flashed, and he produced a bank draft and slapped it on the table. "I'll hire all the assassins above level 2 in your Tang Sect. They have to kill all the assassins who come to assassinate me. Here's 10,000 dollars. Take it first, and after the task is completed, I'll give you another 40,000 dollars. How do you think?"

"You..." Tang Bingwen guessed what He Songling wanted to do when He Songling said he was rich. He didn't expect that this guy would be so generous. His blood pressure almost burst through his skull, and the eye that had been blind for decades was full of blood.

He Songling's move was a complete extermination plan. According to the second iron rule, once you accept a mission, you must not give up, even if you all die. But the people who want to kill He Songling are also their own people. This fight will never end, because according to the third iron rule, if the upper-level people die, the lower-level people will automatically fill in.

Although the money Wang Ai ordered was only enough to send two or three more assassins, looking at He Songling's attitude, he could easily order another assassin below level 2 to kill him. Sooner or later, within a few years, the entire Tang Sect would be left with less than ten people, and it would completely fall apart.

As for not accepting He Songling's order? That's even more ridiculous. Your Tang Sect can accept the Wang family's order, but not accept the Sanyi Sect's order to protect yourself. What's the logic? Are the brothers unable to do it? Is it a joke that your Tang Sect's rules forbid personal feelings?

If they didn't accept orders from He Songling himself, He Songling was so rich that he could have hired hundreds of people to place orders at the Tang Sect's contact point every day. If they stipulated that the entire Tang Sect would not do any business with He Songling, it would be even more ruined. The business and sect rules of the Tang Sect would become a complete joke, and the Tang Sect, which had existed for hundreds of years, would still collapse into a third-rate sect.

Tang Bingwen never expected that there would be such a shameless person in the circle of extraordinary people who could come up with such a shameless plan to wipe out a family.

There is no other way. Even if other sects pool their money together, not many can come up with 50,000 yuan. Some big sects, such as Shaolin and Wudang, have this money, but they will never use it to hire Tang Sect assassins to do such a boring thing as assassinating themselves and protecting themselves at the same time.

"Old Sect Master, the Tang Sect is open for business, so it's not too much for me to place an order, right?" He Songling spread his hands, "Or is it that the Tang Sect doesn't accept small jobs, and can only be sent out for team building, such as assassinating military commanders, warlord leaders, and foreign governors?"

"You win." If He Songling were to find logical loopholes in their iron rules and create a paradox, there would still be room for maneuver. However, if they really wanted to assassinate some warlords and foreign governors as he said, I'm afraid that all the Tang Sect disciples would die miserably like moths to a flame.

Tang Bingwen pursed his lips and shivered for a long time. In the end, He Songling hid too well and failed to snipe him with Danxi. After a long time, he bowed dejectedly: "I admire you, Mr. Jiuxu. You think what others can't think and do what others can't do. Tangmen admits defeat."

Tang Bingwen's words and deeds showed his contempt for He Songling's meanness and vulgarity, but He Songling didn't care. He just said, "You are just jealous of my wealth."

"Then, old gatekeeper, what do we say about this mission?"

"The rules of the Tang Clan cannot be broken." Tang Bingwen compromised under He Songling's financial ability, but he still had to save face. This was Tang Bingwen's way of dealing with the world. Otherwise, he would end up in a desperate situation.

"If the employer pays three times the liquidated damages and cancels the assignment, that's fine too. We can't reveal who the employer is, so you have to check it out yourself."

"He stepped forward." Whether to reveal or not, the matter was basically exposed. He Songling just needed to know who to trouble. "Goodbye!"

"Wait, Mr. Jiuxu finally came here, and you're leaving so easily?" Tang Bingwen suddenly said sinisterly. Tang Jiaren and Mr. Hong quickly formed a triangle with him, with He Songling as the main person. "You brought such a big order to the Tang Sect, you should accept the thank-you gift from the Tang Sect, right?"
