Chapter 624: Red Sandalwood
It's just too deceitful!"
"Obviously they went too far first, but in the end, they forgave us?"
"How can that be?!"
After leaving the house, in the side room in the courtyard, Sima Jiulong set up a soundproof formation, and these long-suppressed hosts were the ones who opened their mouths to vent their dissatisfaction.
Listening to their noise, Sima Jiulong said, "No need to be noisy. Since they came prepared, we have no choice, their strength is indeed beyond my imagination, and everything will be left to me next, you can not interject and talk as little as possible, even if they are ridden in the face by them, I will endure it, once our side makes the first move, the nature of this matter will change. ”
"Brother Sima, I think you're too cowardly, aren't you?" At this time, one person argued, "In my opinion, it's better for us to copy the guys and fight with them now, and whoever wins will listen to whomever wins." ”
"Idiot!"
Sima Jiulong immediately reprimanded angrily.
Even in the face of the rudeness of the bandits, he was calm, but at the moment he was angry.
And being so, the person who opened his mouth to argue suddenly wilted.
Sima Jiulong said: "Don't forget what place this is, it is no longer the county seat of my Sima family." We handed out an olive branch to Tongzhou City, just so that we don't need to do it ourselves in this city, and if we do it in order to attract Tongzhou City, wouldn't we be abandoning our roots?"
"But this is still like handing out an olive branch, I think we are almost vassals of the adult family. ”
"Yes, Master Sima, it's just the beginning. ”
The hosts were worried.
Sima Jiulong stared for a moment and said, "Therefore, the dialogues we envisioned before had to be nullified. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"As I just said," Sima Jiulong said, "leave everything to me, and I'll improvise." And you, no matter how angry you are in your heart, hold it in your heart. ”
Everyone looked at each other.
"But the master of the Sima family, what if we hold back our internal injuries?"
One asked.
Then, as the crowd looked at him, there was silence.
And he swept through the crowd blankly, not knowing the situation.
......
"You remember two things. ”
Dongfang Shuo stood behind the bandit's side and looked ahead.
The bandit didn't look back, just tapped the table lightly twice, and his gaze swept over the two hosts who had been left behind in the hall from time to time.
"First," Dongfang Shuo said, "whatever they ask, we will agree." ”
The bandit was stunned.
They have always wanted to take advantage, why can they agree to everything now?
"Don't look back. ”
Before he turned back, Dongfang Shuo was about to stop.
The bandit asked in a low voice, "But in this case, aren't we going to lose?"
"No, we can't lose. ”
The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked.
He said this because he was sure of one thing.
Sima Jiulong is a smart man, since he is a smart man, then he must know how to maximize benefits.
That's why he doesn't make any excessive demands.
Immediately, the bandit asked: "What about ...... What about the second thing?"
"Second," Dongfang Shuo said, "I want them to obey my orders unconditionally from now on." ”
Bandits.
Put these two together, where it still looks like a negotiation, and it is like a joke.
But the bandits knew very well in their hearts that Dongfang Shuo was by no means joking.
But he muttered in his heart.
One hand agrees to any conditions, and the other hand is unconditional obedience.
Can the other party agree to this?
Or, is it true that the other party won't open his mouth?
Just then, a string of footsteps came from outside the door.
So, the bandit sat up straight.
Sima Jiulong took the lead inside, and after entering the room, the hosts did not speak, but walked straight to their respective seats.
Sima Jiulong didn't ask for a place again, but walked to the upper guest seat and sat down on his own.
This move made Dongfang Shuo's eyes flash with a fierce light.
"Are you ready?"
The bandit looked at Sima Jiulong and asked.
"That's right," Sima Jiulong nodded, "Then we can start negotiating." ”
"Negotiating," the bandit leaned forward, put his head on the table with his arm, and looked straight at Sima Jiulong, "Then what does the Sima family master want to talk about?"
"I heard that Your Excellency killed the heads of the Zhao and Qian families in Tongzhou City with his bare hands two months ago, is this a false rumor?"
Sima Jiulong asked.
The bandit squinted, and immediately remembered Dongfang Shuo's explanation to him in his mind, so he spoke: "Is it a false rumor, I think the heart of the Sima family master has already made a decision, right?"
"Hahaha," Sima Jiulong suddenly laughed heartily, "Your Excellency is now the Lord of Tongzhou City, you should also know the value of red sandalwood. For the sake of this red sandalwood, all the county families present also had intersections with the Zhao and Qian families, more or less, but also had some friendships. ”
"Oh?"
The bandit's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then I have to apologize deeply, the head of the Sima family shouldn't blame me for ruining the relationship between the Sima family and the Zhao and Qian families, right?"
Sima Jiulong suddenly laughed.
"No, no, how can this be? It has been half a year since the war, and in the past six months, my Sima family or many other families present have never bought half a red sandalwood from Tongzhou City. ”
"Oh, do you not have the financial resources to buy red sandalwood, or you can't buy red sandalwood, or do you not want red sandalwood from Tongzhou City?"
"After the war, the county was also in chaos, and naturally it didn't care about the red sandalwood. ”
"Then I think that now that the county town is also prosperous, does the Sima family master also want to pick up the red sandalwood again?"
"Hah, maybe that's what it means. Could it be that Your Excellency the City Lord has red sandalwood?"
Sima Jiulong narrowed his eyes.
The bandit said: "Have you heard of the Sima family, the Sun family in Tongzhou City?"
"The Sun family, but I have heard a little, Tongzhou City seems to have a Sun family. ”
"In the future, the head of the Sima family should hear it often," the bandit said with a smile, "because there is only one Sun family in Tongzhou City now, and there is only one Sun family." As soon as the words fell, he looked in the direction of Sun Youjie, the head of the Sun family.
"Oh?"
Looking along the line of sight, the head of the Sima family also looked at Sun Youjie, and immediately gave up his hand, "Your Excellency is the head of the Sun family? ”
"Don't dare to be. ”
Sun Youjie hurriedly got up and made a move.
This Sima family is not something that the Sun family can afford to offend today.
"Red sandalwood is a sign of a solid family, and I have been worrying about whether I should find an opportunity to pick up Tongzhou red sandalwood again," the Sima family master said, and then looked at the bandit again, "Now that His Excellency the city lord has pulled the line, it has saved the trouble of the Sima family." However, whether the family background is solid or not, the red sandalwood is empty, I have a reluctant request, I want the city lord to do a favor, and then help me pull a red sandalwood line. ”
"Oh, how can I help with this?"
"Don't bother too much, I just need the city lord to kill someone for me. ”
"Killing? No problem, it's all trivial. ”
"So, did Your Excellency the City Lord agree?"
"Yes. How many kill?"
"One. ”
"Just one?"
"One, just one. ”
"Kill whom?"
The bandit squinted and leaned forward.
The head of the Sima family also leaned forward a little and said, "Kuidou County Guard, Lu Wuwei." ”
