At this time, outside the hall door of the Taifu Mansion, as usual, twelve colorful yarn palace lamps were hung high, illuminating the courtyard like neon falling after the rain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that under such a beautiful light, the servants on call in the courtyard don't feel the charm in it at all, as if they are all like soaking in ice water, their faces are pale and trembling.

"Smack! Crackling" There was the sound of all kinds of porcelain and jade falling to the ground in the study, mixed with the mournful screams of women.

The servants outside the door couldn't help but shrink their heads when they heard this, and their faces became more and more pale, as if they had frozen in the cold and terrifying air.

Soon a gorgeously dressed but bloodied face was lifted out of the hall by two men and sent to the backyard. She is Taifu's favorite concubine, an hour ago or a cluster of people is indispensable, even Mrs. Zheng has to let her three points, but in an instant, she ended up like this, how can the servants in the house not be in danger when they see this kind of scene?

A scholar of medium stature, in his thirties, thin and handsome, with skin as white as moonlight, walked into the courtyard, keeping his head down, as if he was afraid that others would see him.

When he entered the courtyard, the scholar met with the bleeding Mei Ji, who seemed to be very disgusted by the bloody gas, and when the two sides staggered, he pinned his head to the side and blocked his mouth and nose with the folding fan in his hand.

This time, his face was completely revealed in the light, and it turned out that this scholar was actually Wang Chongbei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who led the team to fight against the Taifu family in the game.

Different from the expressions of the sincerely frightened servants in the courtyard, Wang Yunbei didn't seem to feel the tyranny of the Taifu at all, he walked towards the hall with unhurried steps, and when he walked to the door of the hall, the servant who reported it saw that it was him, he stopped making a sound, and even omitted the report, and let him go in by himself.

The gray-blue mixed gold mud of the hall was sprinkled with celadon shards everywhere, and the furniture in the room was sprayed with blood. The scholar walked in, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his brows couldn't help frowning, as if the bloody air had floated over, and he subconsciously raised the fan in front of him again.

When the Taifu saw that it was him who walked in, the anger on his face was somewhat restrained, and he waved his hand impatiently, and all the servants in the hall quietly retreated.

Taifu sat on the rosewood chair and said, "Have you heard?" ”

When Wang Yunbei saw Taifu sitting down, he also stood next to him with interest, and replied softly: "I have heard of it." ”

"I respect him a foot, but he wants to grab a foot! I don't want to think about how I sat on the dragon chair in the first place! Speaking of this, Taifu's expression became extremely ruthless, "He hit my seven inches, but I didn't know that my scorpion still had a tail poison!" ”

Wang Yunbei looked at him coldly, not afraid of the change in the expression on his face, but a little disappointed in his heart. Because revenge and violence are often another face to escape.

After all, Taifu is used to being pampered, and if he wants to put himself in danger from which he will never recover, in addition to his momentary spirit, he must also have fear from the heart.

"He must be given a dose of strong medicine." Thinking of this, Wang Yunbei leaned forward and said: "Luoyang's golden dominance has been broken, so do you know what the lifeblood of the country that can get stuck in Zhao Yuan's neck is next?" ”

Taifu glanced at him sideways and said: "Zhao Yuan is extremely strong, and he has almost installed people who should be in control, if it is said that the climate can be achieved, it is the salt administration." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yunbei smiled faintly and said, "Taifu is wise." It's just that this salt policy is not in your hands. ”

Hearing this, Taifu's face sank, and for him, doubt was equivalent to contempt.

Seeing that Taifu's face was gloomy, Wang Yunbei hurriedly accompanied him with a smile and said: "It's not disrespectful to Taifu, it's really a mix of interests and disadvantages, I just imagined the worst situation." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Taifu, and saw that his anger did not increase, so he said with confidence: "Now the salt politics of Qi State is divided into two lines: east and south. The eastern line was in charge of the king of Lu, and the southern line was presided over by the king of Jing, and the king of Jing and the king of Min were old friends when they were young, so they could get a number of preferential treatment when trading with the Fujian country, so the quality of the southern salt was good and the price was low, and the people and the army loved to use the southern salt. ”

"Dongyan has been declining day by day, and King Lu has a lot of complaints about it. Moreover, King Lu belonged to the first emperor and the eldest prince, and King Jing belonged to the second prince and the first line, in order to compete for the position of the king, there were many deaths and injuries among the two families, and now they have taken the matter of East Salt and South Salt, and it is only a matter of time before the two kings turn against each other. By then, before Zhao Yuan could make a move, our side would have fallen apart. ”

"They dare! With me, how can they be presumptuous! Taifu slammed the table.

Wang Yunbei didn't say anything when he saw this, he was silent for a while, and when he saw that the anger on Taifu's face was gradually dissipating, he said faintly: "I didn't dare before, who can guarantee the ticket after tomorrow?" ”

This time, it was Taifu's turn to fall into deep contemplation.

Wang Yunbei saw that Taifu's face was heavy, and he knew that his words had an effect. So he continued: "Now, the emperor is leading troops to Pingnan, and he can still come up with such a trick to deal with you." So why can't you return the way you are to others? ”

"He can hit you seven inches, can't you?"

Tai Fu clenched his fists with both hands, and his joints made a "creaking" sound because of the exertion, and it could be seen that his inner struggle was fierce.

In the face of Zhao Yuan's attack, whether he counterattacks head-on or compromises backwards, these two choices face two completely different futures.

If he compromised, with Zhao Yuan's character, he would not give Taifu any chance to take back all the power in his hands step by step. In the end, it was impossible for him to stay in Luoyang for a long time, because there was an example of the Queen Mother in front of him. At that time, the Queen Mother was no longer a threat to Zhao Yuan, and she was still kicked out of Hanyang Palace?

If he leaves Luoyang, Taifu's life may be very sad, because he had helped Zhao Yuan before, and he has been hated by his fellow clans, without the protection of the aura of the name Taifu, he will become a fallen leaf that is bullied by the wind and rain, and he will die silently, no one will care, no one will care.

Wang Yunbei guessed Taifu's thoughts, and said softly beside him: "He is now going to Pingnan, and what he is most concerned about is grain and grass. Now that the weather is getting hotter, it's time for flooding. This grain and grass is transported every day, and if it is not guaranteed, the Yellow River will burst one day, and the grain and grass will be pressed on the river and cannot be transported. Do you say? ”

Taifu raised his eyebrows: "He is in the south, where rice is abundant, the Yellow River has burst, and the grain and grass are gone, won't he buy it on the spot?" ”

"Buy?" Wang Yunbei looked up to the sky and laughed: "Who to buy from?" At this time, the early rice has not grown, and I can only buy last year's array rice, but only Shu after the mountains and mountains can be sold. ”

"The King of Shu has always had no friendship with the Great Qi and the families of the Great Pillar Kingdom, and he is extremely stingy. If Da Qi dares to open this mouth, it is strange that he doesn't slaughter Zhao Yuan to the point where only bones are left? ”

Taifu thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can give it a try." ”
