How to choose? This is a problem that everyone faces. It is true that the plan proposed by Tang Jin is simply perfect, and everyone can almost effortlessly achieve it, and even exceed the purpose of this trip. On the other hand, the plan to help Tang Xu overthrow the King of Guanshan County is too risky, and the benefits obtained in the end are far inferior to the former, so how to choose seems to be a problem that does not need to be considered.

However, the strange thing was that none of the people agreed with Tang Jin's proposal, but looked at Tang Jin silently, even Qin Hai, who had always been known for being brainless.

They know Tang Jin, he is a person who only looks at the interests of people other than his own, and he helps the interests there, and he doesn't care about any righteousness, humanity, and heavenly principles. But now everyone can see it...... He hesitated. True, he hesitated in such a clear tilt of interest. Transsexualized? Heh, they would rather believe that the Buddha killed people than believe that Tang Jin had changed his sex. Since it's not a transgender, it means that there must be something in it that they don't know. And what they are waiting for now is for Tang Jin to say it.

Tang Jin obviously guessed their thoughts, and instead of saying much, he directly asked, "You say...... Is Tang Xu a fool? ”

Is he a fool? This strange question stopped everyone. Is he? Obviously not, not to mention his planning for so many years, just knowing his background and being able to hide from the king of Guanshan for so long is not something that a fool can do.

"Since he's not a fool, wouldn't he have thought of the possibility I just mentioned?" Tang Jin reminded everyone again.

Everyone suddenly realized. Yes! Tang Xu wouldn't have thought of it? Definitely not, he had investigated Tang Jin, he must have known Tang Jin's style of acting, and the purpose of his coming here, and it was not difficult to deduce that Tang Jin would think of the plan just now after knowing about him. Not only does he know Tang Jin's personality, but he also knows that the interests of the two plans are tilted, why does he dare to tell Tang Jin about this? The only explanation may be...... He's confident! In other words, he has other cards!

And this is the reason why Tang Jin hesitated, without knowing all the hole cards of the other party, no one can say whether the interests will be tilted to that side, although no matter how they think about it, they can't imagine what hole cards Tang Xu can have, but ...... Isn't there a contingency for everything?

"Now let's see what he's going to do." Tang Jin looked in the direction of the county government and showed a meaningful smile on his face.

At the same time, the county yaxiang room

Tang Xu and Tang Yao sat down looking at each other, Tang Xu fiddled with the incense utensils in his hand with a smile on his face, and Tang Yao on the side looked at each other with puzzled faces. After looking at the other party for a long time, Tang Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and snatched the other party's incense burner and said, "Brother! When is it, you're still playing. What do you think? Tell Tang Jin everything about us, what if he crosses you and tells that bastard directly? ”

The baby incense burner was snatched away, and Tang Xu was inevitably angry with others, but for Tang Yao, he could only smile stupidly, nervously glanced at the incense burner in the other party's hand, took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Don't worry, he won't, he won't judge easily when I'm not sure if I have other hole cards in my hand." He is a person who always puts his interests first, and he will not make a choice easily until he judges how much I am worth. ”

"So, you have other hole cards!" Tang Yao said excitedly.

"Not yet." Tang Xu denied it.

"Then you talk!" Tang Yao suddenly became anxious, threw the incense burner in his hand, pulled Tang Xu's ear and said, "You don't have hole cards, and you're still playing here." Tang Jin is not a fool, it won't be long before he understands, and then you and I will be finished! ”

Tang Xu, who was pulling his ears, didn't feel how much pain his ears had, but looked at the incense burner on the ground distressedly, and then forced his emotions and said: "Little ancestor, what I said is that there is no one for the time being, and it will be soon!" ”

"You've got a head! He will wait for you for a few days at most, and in a few days, will you be able to find a sufficient amount of backer? Tang Yao didn't believe it.

Tang Xu felt the gradually increasing strength on his ears, and hurriedly said, "Loose...... Let go! Let go, little ancestor! Ears are falling out! Of course, when did you see your brother and I do something that I am not sure about? I've already found a backer, and I'm just about to make the last move, and I believe that I can do it with a letter. ”

"Really?" Tang Yao heard that the strength in his hand was much looser, and then he suddenly reacted to something, and suddenly increased his strength again: "That's not right!" If it were that easy, you would have been done a long time ago, so why wait until now? ”

Hiss!

The pain in his ear made Tang Xu gasp suddenly, but he still couldn't help but explain: "Because this matter needs to pull Tang Jin's tiger skin to do it, there is no one else who does not agree." Oh, you don't understand, anyway, you know a little bit, now everything is ready, as long as I send a letter, we will immediately have a strong enough backer, and at the same time, we will have enough value for Tang Jin to help us. Don't worry, we are grasshoppers on a rope now, and no one can run away if there is a problem. ”

Hearing this, Tang Yao felt that what Tang Xu said did make some sense, and immediately let go of the other party's ear, "Hmph! Once I believe you, you can do it yourself, and we'll both be done if you mess up. I'm tired, so I'll go to bed first. ”

After speaking, he walked straight out, leaving Tang Xu silently rubbing his reddened ears, while rubbing, he took out a pen and paper, washed a letter in one go, sealed it in an envelope, exchanged it for Chen Youliang, handed it to the other party and said: "Go, send someone to send it to Jiaying Mansion urgently, and be sure to hand it over to Tang Qi, the son of the owner of Jiaying Mansion." ”

Chen Youliang answered yes, took the letter and walked out quickly. For a while, Tang Xu was the only one left in the incense room, looked at the location of Tang Jin's mansion, and then looked at the direction of Jiaying Mansion, and chuckled, "Thank you two ......"

The next morning, in the dining room

"Yu Shizi, according to our report in the city, the county government sent a messenger overnight last night, and it seems that the direction is going to Jiaying Mansion." Fang Xiaoer, who temporarily took over the intelligence work in the city, reported to Tang Jin as soon as they met.

As early as when it was just decided to come to Guanshan County, Tang Jin ordered Fang Datong and the Su sisters to establish an intelligence network in Zhenbei City as soon as possible, but after all, time was pressing, so the two had to hurriedly send some spies to wait for the dispatch, and the rest had to be redeveloped. Although they were in a hurry, the two of them were all first-class good men, and it may be difficult to establish a stable and penetrating intelligence network, but it is still possible to monitor the county government.

"Jiaying Mansion?" Tang Jin frowned slightly when he heard this. He knows this Jiaying Mansion, it is a city in the northernmost part of the Eastern Regions close to the border, and its lord Tang Youming is also a member of the royal family, but according to the hereditary system of titles in the Tang Dynasty, when he dies, their family will be removed from the royal family, except for the surname Tang, there is no half-dime relationship with the royal family.

Tang Xu sent people to Jiaying Mansion and did it so obviously, obviously telling Tang Jin that this was his hole card. But Tang Jin really couldn't understand how a small mansion master could become his dependence? The son of the king of the county relies on a lord of the house, or even the son of the lord of the house, a commoner? It's funny no matter how you think about it.

"Do any of you know the details of the master of Jiaying Mansion?" Tang Jin frowned and looked at a few people. He did make a lot of preparations when he came, but basically it was all about Guanshan County and Guanshan County, Jiaying Mansion...... I really don't know.

"I know." Feng Gu replied, "Tang Youming, the head of Jiaying Mansion, is humble and honest, and he is a good official who loves the people like a son. He has four children under his knees, the eldest Tang Feng, 13 years old, is now preparing for the imperial examination and wants to enter the court as an official; The second eldest Tang Qi, 12 years old, has a strong body and strong martial arts, and his mother is said to be a barbarian in the north and intends to follow the path of martial arts; The third Tang Yingying, 12 years old, loves to read and study, is a famous talented girl, and is also the only female student specially recruited by the Guozijian, and is now studying in the capital; The fourth Tang Ju, ten years old, did not show any special talents, and now, like his eldest brother, is practicing Chinese and calligraphy, and it is estimated that he also plans to take the path of the imperial examination. ”

After Feng Gu finished speaking, Tang Jin showed a look of understanding. The title of the lord of the mansion is different from others, it is not so much a title as an official, and his children are born without the qualifications to inherit the title, and can only be like ordinary people or farming, business, or imperial examinations, choose one of them, in order to have the ability to settle down, of course, now it is estimated that a "ten thousand sons take the heir". However, even if you don't count the "ten thousand sons to take the heirs" Tang Youming's family is okay, the father is kind and filial to the son, and none of the four children have a child, which is really valuable.

"But...... Doesn't that make a big deal? Tang Jin said to himself. Saying so much, except for the third child in the capital, it may be a little useful, and the remaining few don't seem to be a big deal. Needless to say, the eldest and the fourth are poor scholars, and they are useless; If the second child is the second, there is no shortage of brute force on his side, whether it is fighting or killing, with the current ability of his team, it is enough to deal with it. The only thing that interested Tang Jin was that his mother was a Northern Barbarian, but he was only interested, a kid with half Northern Barbarian blood...... It's not a big deal, in the villages and towns near the national border, there are a lot of them.

"So...... What the hell was he thinking? ”
