Chapter 696: Verbal Battle
The young man sneered, and said:
"Wei Hou's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open is really impressive, and the obvious evidence can be said by Wei Hou to be an inconsequential matter. It's just that you can be shameless in front of us, but when you go to the temple in the court, can you be so shameless? ”
When Tao Zhutu heard this, he immediately reprimanded the young people:
"What kind of thing do you dare to be rude to my young master?! If you can't control your tongue, do you want my knife to teach you how to speak? ”
The young man was naturally furious when he heard Tao Zhutu's scolding, but when he saw Tao Zhutu holding his sword and showing his blade, the young man didn't dare to say more, and in the end he had to sit on the seat and dare not speak angrily.
Seeing this, Ji Tanyun personally took the kettle and poured tea for Lan Ziyi, and after he finished pouring the water, he said:
"Wei Hou is kind-hearted, the old man knows, Wei Hou can't see the people suffering, and the old man understands it in his heart. This time the people gathered for nothing more than to owe the grain and not pay it back. As long as the people are willing to return, they don't have to pay back all the food they owe this year, as long as they return to their homes to live and work in peace and contentment, I will help them with some food for the imperial court. ”
As soon as Ji Tanyun finished speaking, the young man sitting in the hall jumped up and said:
"Master Ji, this opening can't be opened! If they don't let those people repay the money this time, then from now on, won't they borrow money but not repay it? ”
Ji Tanyun didn't open his mouth to answer the young man, he just raised his hand to signal the people in the hall not to say much, and his two eyes were staring at Lan Ziyi without moving away from him.
Lan Ziyi could naturally feel the burning gaze projected on his face, Lan Ziyi had encountered a lot of this kind of thing, and he Ji Tanyun was not the one who caused the most pressure. Lan Ziyi slowly picked up the tea bowl and carefully opened the floating tea on the water, and then savored the fragrance of the tea. After taking a sip of hot tea, Lan Ziyi put down the tea bowl again, and then he looked up at Ji Tanyun, at this time, a long time had passed since Ji Tanyun had made a condition.
Lan Ziyi opened his mouth and said to Ji Tanyun:
"Master Ji, don't you understand what I'm saying? The people are organized by themselves, and I have nothing to do with them, and I don't have the ability to command them. ”
Ji Tanyun frowned when he heard Lan Ziyi's excuse, and he said:
"If Wei Hou has any other requirements, please say it directly, and the old man will definitely agree to everything that the old man can do."
Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, and he said:
"Master Ji is a businessman in the end, and his words are all in the tone of a businessman, and there is no ambiguity at all when bargaining. It's just that Ziyi is not a businessman, Ziyi is a marquis of the imperial court, and he doesn't know how to bargain, Ziyi only knows how to act impartially and take people according to orders, and Ziyi doesn't know what other things are required by Master Ji. ”
Everyone in the hall sighed disdainfully when they heard Lan Ziyi's words, and the young man even opened his mouth to count the clouds in the fall;
"Master Ji, can you see it? The guards don't accept your conditions at all, he is a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink, what is the use of you to relieve the debt of the poor ghost? ”
Lan Ziyi interrupted the young man and interjected:
"I have long said that the people will not be ruled by me, and what they will do has nothing to do with me. But if I can give the people a good future, I will definitely go back to do it, this time I came to Master Ji's mansion I have this meaning, I listened to what Master Ji said just now, if Master Ji can really do this, the people will naturally miss the good of you. ”
Ji Tanyun looked at Lan Ziyi, his face was cloudy, this is quite understandable, if anyone sits in Ji Tanyun's position and is threatened by a junior boy, that person will not be comfortable. But the strange thing is that even if Lan Ziyi has forced Ji Tanyun to this point, he still has no intention of getting angry at Lan Ziyi, and even Lan Ziyi himself feels very embarrassed.
Ji Tanyun took a deep breath, and then sighed:
"Since Wei Hou came to my house to do things impartially, then just do it, the old man is a law-abiding person, and he will never do anything that violates the king's law."
Lan Ziyi snorted and sneered twice when he heard this, and he said;
"Master Ji naturally won't be a traitor, but Master Ji's family can't guarantee that he won't make mistakes."
Ji Tanyun Road:
"Which family member is Wei Hou talking about? What crime was committed? If the crime is true, Wei is waiting to be arrested, and I, Ji Tanyun, will definitely not shield and condone my own slaves. ”
Lan Ziyi snorted and sneered when he heard this, and he said:
"Why does Master Ji pretend to be confused? Don't you really know who I'm here to arrest? Is it interesting for you and I to go around the bend here? ”
Ji Tanyun Road:
"I really don't know what Lan Wei is doing here? Since you know it in your heart, please make it clear, and the old man will try his best to cooperate with you. It's really unreasonable to block the door like this. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"A few days ago, when I first came to Yuhang, I first went to the dock to arrest the criminals, and found the person I was looking for on a boat, but in the end I still didn't catch it, and the sailors of the boat were helping people escape, and I had no way at all. In the past few days, I have been tracking down who the boat man is, and the result is naturally that I have found out to the bottom. Isn't Master Ji interested in knowing who the ship's employer is? ”
Ji Tanyun said with a smile:
"Wei Hou came out of Yuhang, and he didn't know a lot of things. The old man is not talented, in the past, he only knew how to gather, and now most of the assets of Yuhangcheng are in my pocket, and most of the merchant ships that run away at sea to make a living are named after me. I also heard about the incident when the guard came that day, that is, a leprosy was smuggled in a ship with my name hanging in my name. The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, I have a lot of people here, and there are a few scoundrels under it, and there is no way to do it, and this matter has been solved in the end. I wonder why Wei Hou had a grudge against a leprosy. ”
Lan Ziyi was really angry when he looked at Ji Tanyun's dead-skinned face, and he said:
"Who said I was looking for leprosy? That leper was really dropped by the crew, what I really want to find is Master Ji, your son-in-law, Ji Zhinian. ”
Ji Tanyun said in surprise when he heard this;
"Wei Hou, it turns out that you came to me to arrest my son. Although I don't know what crime my son has committed, I know it clearly in my heart, the king's law is as big as the sky, my Ji family is doing business safely and steadily, what I know best is to abide by the law, and what I hate the most is the person who is a traitor. Those outlaws who take advantage of the law will most ruin people's industries and disrupt people's business, and I have always caught a prisoner and sent it to the official to commit it alone. It is impossible for my son to provoke the arrest of Taichengwei for no reason, Taichengwei must be unclean when he takes him, and I will never allow him to stay in my mansion with this kind of brute. ”
Lan Ziyi listened to such a long list of nonsense that Ji Tanyun said, and he was already irritable in his heart, and he sneered:
"Master Ji's rule of the family is strictly forbidden, Ziyi admires. But you are so strict with your family, why did you let the stand-in sit on your Ji family's sea boat when Ling Gongzi fled from the capital that day? ”
