Chapter 214: Cheap Life
Li Dongyang saw that the quarrel was almost over, and slowly interjected a sentence next to him: "Princess, no one asked you to sell the princess's mansion, no matter what Zhu Congwen said, he is also the son of the Zhu family, of course this grain is the Zhu family's loss." ”
As soon as this remark came out, the emperor's eyes lit up, and his head hurt by Chongwen's quarrel before, but he was really taken to the ditch, his eyes were only staring at the princess's mansion, and Li Dongyang made it clear that it was a bright willow.
The Zhu family can almost be called the richest man in the Long Yuan Kingdom, and the business is blooming everywhere, and his Zhu family can develop so fast, not in the name of the royal family.
Since this is the case, it is time for them to cut meat, as long as there is food, even if the Zhu family cuts meat and sells blood, the emperor doesn't care.
Princess Chongwen choked there, the Queen Mother's face became even more gloomy, and she finally led people into the ditch, why did this bastard interject again, couldn't he shut up honestly?
The Queen Mother is reluctant to let the Zhu family out, because the Zhu family's business will be distributed to the Queen Mother, and if it is taken out and compensated, the interests of the Queen Mother will also be damaged, and the two sides will enter the fight again.
This time, it was Zhen Guogong who rushed to the front line, Li Dongyang and the emperor were the worldly masters who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and the two of them had playful expressions on their faces, and they watched with relish.
The compensation was reduced from 10 million stone to 5 million, and then from 5 million to 3 million, and then it couldn't be lowered anymore, and the Zhenguo Gong was ruthless, either taking out such food, or killing Zhu Congwen.
The reason is that Zhu Congwen is too cheap, if it weren't for the face of the princess and the queen mother, Zhu Congwen would have to be killed, he couldn't stay for a moment, and he would be beheaded if he bargained again.
In the argument between the three, Zhu Congwen didn't know when he recovered his demeanor, sat on the ground and watched the three of them quarrel, and seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Li Dongyang spoke again.
"Zhu Shizi, it seems that your life is not very valuable, it is actually worth only three million stone grain." Li Dongyang sat there and clasped his fingers to settle accounts.
The current price of grain is two cents per catty, and one stone is two hundred catties, that is, four hundred wen per stone, and one million and two hundred thousand yuan in silver, which is really not much.
Li Dongyang said that more than a dozen 1.2 million yuan could be taken out in the mountains and rivers, all of which were robbed in the princess's mansion, and Li Dongyang didn't believe half a word when Princess Chongwen cried poor.
Looking at Li Dongyang picking his fingers and counting it, with a look of disgust, Zhenguo Gong's heart was congested, three hundred stones of grain sounded like a lot, and it turned out to be so little when it was exchanged for silver.
Thinking of this, Zhen Guogong stared at Zhu Congwen and said with a disgusted expression: "No way, he is only worth this price in the eyes of the princess, less is less, but he pities those victims." ”
This said that Princess Chongwen's face turned from blue to purple, and the sense of accomplishment of bargaining disappeared in an instant, to be honest, the Zhu family took out these silvers, but the princess was unwilling to cheap outsiders.
But don't say this in front of her son, isn't this disturbing the disharmony between their mother and son.
"The Duke of Yasukuni owes me several Zhu Congwen's lives." Li Dongyang sighed, and another knife was inserted into the queen mother's heart, feeling a little salty in her throat.
The emperor clenched his fist and gagged his mouth, can he say that he wants to laugh? Why is Li Dongyang so good at inserting a knife, why can't he be, it seems that he has to find an opportunity to learn a few tricks.
The matter was negotiated, Li Dongyang asked Princess Chongwen to write a note, the food must be delivered within a month, and if it can't be done, it will be announced to the world, so that everyone can see what kind of person Princess Chongwen is.
If these grains fall into Li Dongyang's hands, maybe the people of the world will scold Li Dongyang for being greedy for money, but these grains are used on the victims, that is, Li Dongyang is benevolent, righteous and kind.
It is Li Dongyang's good reputation to spread out, if Princess Chongwen can't do it, she will be ruthless and unrighteous and black-livered, Li Dongyang's abacus is good.
So the Queen Mother returned to the Longevity Palace with a stomach, and Princess Chongwen took Zhu Congwen back to the Princess's Mansion, all the way to the pain, but she ignored Zhu Congwen's hateful eyes.
Zhu Congwen also felt that his life was so cheap, if he didn't listen to it, he was the son of the princess and the nephew of the emperor, how could he be so cheap.
The emperor was in a good mood, the poison on his body was resolved, and the problem of the victims in the northwest was solved.
Zhen Guogong and Li Dongyang left with a bunch of rewards, grinning proudly along the way, in short, Li Dongyang won this battle.
Of course, the emperor's good mood did not last long, because he had too many things to do, and there were too many people who wanted his life.
The eunuch who was sent to investigate the poison of him reported that the suspected target was missing, and finally found the dead and transparent body, all blistered into a bun, and the death was terrifying.
As for the person who assassinated Dali Siqing in the main hall, it has not been found, although the emperor has cut the face of the queen mother, but the power in the hands of the queen mother is still not to be underestimated, how can she be happy when she thinks that her head is not safe.
The happiest is Li Dongyang, the father and son and the two brothers returned to the Zhenguo Mansion well, and then went into the study, and after a good discussion, Li Dongyang decided to declare a retreat to the outside world.
Li Dongyang felt that the Gushan gambling king must be playing psychological warfare with him, the more he won, the more famous he became, and the greater the pressure on himself, but would Li Dongyang take a fancy to this method?
Of course, it can't affect Li Dongyang, so he decided to improve his strength first, and he is still the most reliable fist this year.
On the second day of Li Dongyang's retreat, Lao Yun Wang and Lao Zhen Guogong quietly returned to the city, first entered the palace to see the emperor, and told the matter of the treasure of Tianfeng, they did not grab the treasure map, but encountered a powerful force.
Where did this force come from, it was necessary to send someone to investigate secretly, and the emperor's mood was even worse, but fortunately, these two old guys still knew how to send a sweet date.
Telling the emperor that Gu Chun is dead, Zheng Guo has one less congenital threat, but there is also bad news, that is, the Xie family has a deep collusion with Zheng Guo, and even Gu Chun has a very shallow relationship with Lao Jingguo.
The emperor felt that a stone was pressed on his heart, and the three of them conspired whether to destroy the Yasukuni Gong now, or to seek military power first? Lao Yunwang felt that it was better to seek military power first, and the military would be in turmoil when the province came.
The emperor deeply thought that those generals who were guarding the border would definitely have to change the wave, and those who were guilty would be convicted, and they would be arrested before the Yasukuni Gong could react, and they should be killed and beheaded.
The three of them conspired for a long time, and the two old men left quietly, and the first thing the old Zhenguo Gong did when he returned to the house was to see the eldest grandson, but he naturally couldn't see it, so Zhenguo Weng was unlucky, and was caught and abused by the old man to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
In the mountains and rivers, Li Dongyang was cultivating, the sword in his hand was flying up and down, the steps under his feet were constantly changing, leaving a string of figures in the space, because the speed was too fast, the afterimage had not dispersed, and Li Dongyang had already appeared somewhere else.
