Chapter 8 Chapter One

One of his treacherous tricks was made possible by the shortcomings of human nature, but ultimately failed by the advantages of human nature. There is no good way for Gao Yanei to take possession of Lin Chong's wife.But don't worry, where there is power, there must be villains.In the process of Gao Yanei's calculation to occupy Lin Chong's wife, the two treacherous villains played a very important role.We know that villains are always smart, and these two villains contributed two very obscene and vicious tricks to Gao Yanei, which led Lin Chong into the abyss step by step, and his family was ruined.

The first strategy was contributed by Fu'an.People like Fu An can really use the word "scum" to evaluate him.From what he said to Gao Yanei, it can be seen that this is a very evil person.Yes, he is evil and dirty, but wise!We know that in ancient times, women of some status and status often stayed at home. Like Mrs. Lin Chong, she had just been frightened and molested, and she would not come out casually. evil.How to do it? In response to this situation, Fu'an offered a plan to Gao Yanei, we can call it the plan of "crossing the sea from the sky" and the plan of "tune the tiger away from the mountain". The strategy of "Crossing the Sea with Concealment" is the first of the "Thirty-six Strategies". The original text is as follows: "If you prepare for the week, you will be lazy, and if you see it often, you will not doubt it. Yin is within Yang, not in opposition to Yang. Sun, Taiyin." It means If you think you are well-prepared, you will be paralyzed; if the situation is very common, you will not be confused.The intrigue is hidden in the overt action, progresses with it, and is not opposed to the overt action.The most overt actions hide the most insidious plots.

Let's take a look at Fu'an's strategy. Fu An said to the yamen: "Lu Qian, the confidant of your Gao family, he and Lin Chong are the best. Tomorrow, the yamen will hide in the deep pavilion upstairs of Lu Yuhou and set out some wine and food, but ask Lu Qian to invite Lin Chong to come out. Drinking. But instead of going to Lu Qian's house, Lin Chong was taken to drink elsewhere. Xiao Xian went to his house and said to Mrs. Lin Chong, "Your husband and Lu Qian got so angry that he fell upstairs and called Hurry up and go see, lady. She made it to the upper floor. The woman's family is watery, and when she sees such a romantic person in the yamen, she can't help but refuse to reconcile her with some sweet words. How about Xiaoxian's plan?"

Gao Yanei cheered and said: "Good plan! I will send someone to call Lu Yuhou to order tonight." We see that this plan is really good, and it fully conforms to the basic elements of the plan of "crossing the sea with the sky".Since Lin Chong got angry that day, he will not let his wife out again. Such precautions, of course, will not cause accidents.Lu Qian is a good friend of Lin Chong, and he asked Lu Qian to ask Lin Chong to drink, which is called "if you see it often, you don't doubt it", and asking Lin Chong out to drink with a big swagger, this is called "the sun", and it contains a huge conspiracy, This is called "Taiyin".Taking advantage of Lin Chong's trust in Lu Qian, asking him to come out openly, and then cheating on his wife, this is another trick to "turn the tiger away from the mountain"!The heart of a villain is too vicious, and the tricks of a villain are too yin!

However, although this plan is good, there are two problems.Because, this plan involves the character judgment of two people: Lu Qian and Lin Niangzi. Therefore, the first question is: Since Lu Qian is a good friend of Lin Chong, will he cooperate with them and frame Lin Chong together? In fact, the most brilliant part of this plan lies in this place. To put it simply, the most brilliant part of this plan is not the ingenious design of the traps mentioned above, but the accurate grasp and full use of ugly human nature. Because, whether this plan can be implemented, the key person is Lu Qian, and Lu Qian happens to be Lin Chong's good friend.In fact, Fu An and Gao Yanei encountered a dilemma here: if you don’t use Lu Qian, you can’t deceive Lin Chong; if you use Lu Qian, then Lu Qian is Lin Chong’s good friend for many years, and he may refuse.

But we noticed that when Fu An was thinking about this strategy, he didn't take Lu Qian's possible refusal into account at all, and Gao Yanei also believed in Lu Qian's ability to listen to them and to blame his friends: "Let's send someone tonight Call Lu Yuhou to order." The time is tonight, and the attitude is to call, like calling a dog, let Lu Qian do such a wicked thing, I am not afraid of him hesitating, let alone discuss with him, directly "order Already." That's it. Have we noticed that this contains Fu'an and Gao Yanei's belittling and contempt for Lu Qian's personal morality?Contempt for his conscience and personality?If Lu Qian was a person with moral conscience, he would definitely be angry about this!

However, Fu An and Gao Yanei believed in Lu Qian's cooperation at all. Because they knew that Lu Qian was not only Lin Chong's friend, but also Gao Taiwei's confidant.Between friends and snobbery, Lu Qian will definitely abandon his friends without hesitation and throw himself into the embrace of power! Would Lu Qian do such an obscene and immoral thing as they imagined? When Fu An confided his plan to Lu Qian and asked him to cooperate, did Lu Qian agree, or refused angrily? really!Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Qian agreed to such a despicable task entrusted to him by Fu'an and Gao Yanei. "Lu Yuhou heard it for a while, and there was nothing he could do. He only wanted the yamen to be happy, but he didn't care about friendship." And this was exactly what Gao Yamen and Fu'an expected.This proves one point: villains are often better than gentlemen in judging human nature, and thus use the weakness of human nature to achieve their own goals.

Lu Qian's official position is Yu Hou. According to the description in "Water Margin", he is obviously not a high-level position like "Du Yu Hou", but can only be a low-level military post such as Jiang Yu Hou and Yuan Yu Hou, which is roughly equivalent to a regular official. At the level of the chief, or even just a servant hired by the bureaucracy. In Guanyanguan, he wants to climb up. Fu'an and Gao Yanei knew that they had something that Lu Qian could not refuse, but Lin Chong's side was just a so-called friendship. Therefore, the most brilliant part of this strategy is the judgment of Lu Qian, which is the full use of the ugly side of human nature.
