"Smack!"

Grandmaster Dao slapped the paperweight in his hand on the table, the paperweight was made of copper, heavy and strong, and he vigorously slapped a long case of solid wood and shook it.

"Wang County Order, this is good, there are more than a dozen more lives!" Grandmaster Dao was a little angry, glared angrily at Wang Xuejin, who was sitting on a circle chair on one side, and shouted in a dumb voice: "The water is mixed, but how does this end?" ”

Wang Xuejin got up, bowed to him, and said without any confusion: "My lord is angry, in fact, this matter is expected, and my lord also knows that since the news that the Jingshen Gang secretly harmed the master of the Tang Sect has been released, there will inevitably be such a result." ”

"But you didn't say that they would kill people on the Hezhou territory, and if this matter spreads, the criminal department will come to people, what good will it do us?" The grandmaster asked: "The Tang Sect, the Jingshen Gang, and the Caosi are fighting together, and we Hezhou are regarded as a battlefield. ”

"The vendetta of the rivers and lakes is a mess, who can tell the difference? It is not the good people who die, there is no bitter master, even if someone from the criminal department comes, they will be with the mud, and they will just pull two to finish the work for the dead ghosts, and the adults don't have to worry. Wang Xuejin seemed to be confident, even if the Grandmaster Dao was stormy, he spoke slowly with a pleasant face: "My lord, just be Zhuge Liang who sits firmly in the military tent, make a show, shout on the surface, and watch the play." ”

Grandmaster Dao pondered his words, pondered for a long time, and then glared at him, although he was still displeased, he eased up a lot: "As you said, is it really okay?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials are willing to take the head as a guarantee, this matter will never involve you and me, we just let people let out a few words, who knows?" Wang Xuejin said eloquently: "As for the things on the rivers and lakes, let those people who run the rivers and lakes go to play, there are many dead people, and there will always be people who can't get through it." ”

Grandmaster Dao's heart moved, and he gently dropped his butt back into the chair, frowning and saying softly, "You mean...... Gui Ruyuan and Li Jie, one of them will fall because of this? ”

"Right and wrong are all based on profit, and fighting and killing must be for money." Wang Xuejin replied meaningfully: "Next, it depends on which of them has a deeper foundation and a more stable backing." ”

"No matter who falls, I don't necessarily have any benefits." The Grandmaster frowned deeply, and said with his forehead raised: "Harming others is not beneficial to yourself, your plan is really ......."

"Well, sir, don't say that." Wang Xuejin said: "The river mussels fight, there must be an injury, no matter who wins, it will definitely hurt the vitality, when the time comes, focus on the time, take refuge in the past and hug the thighs, that person is the time to win over people, will he still refuse people thousands of miles away?" Right? ”

Grandmaster Dao was slightly stunned, then raised his eyebrows, nodded incessantly, picked up the tea cup on the table, and said with a smile: "Wang Xianling, drink tea!" ”

……

The state of Chuzhou, the establishment of the embassy.

In Gui Ruyuan's flower hall, there are still a few people sitting, closing the doors and windows, like a secret room.

"Zhen Shuai, the Mongols really did not approach the three passes, looting outside the pass, washing one place after another, killing people and plundering, but they did not continue to move south, the nearest distance is only seventy miles outside the Qifang Pass, and there are only dozens of people, not like they want to attack the pass."

Cheng Xin, the guard of the Seven Parties, stood in the middle of the room and reported to Gui Ruyuan, who was the head of the house, in a deep voice.

Gui Ruyuan doesn't like to live in the barracks, discuss major matters, and call people in the flower hall of his mansion, everyone is used to it, and non-confidants can't enter, everyone can be proud to be here.

Pan Fu, the general of Wuxiu, said happily when he heard this: "I have already said that the Mongols are short-sighted, violent and murderous, and only know some wealth and population, and they will leave after the incident, and they do not need to spend military strength to fight with them. ”

His sycophant was full of flattery, but it was extremely comfortable, and the people on the seat felt very disgusting, and the heart said that the territory of more than 100,000 people in Wuzhou was lost for thousands of miles, and you were embarrassed to say that it was a ploy, and the underground Emperor Taizu Taizong heard it, and he was afraid that he would get up and fight with you in anger.

But no one will break it, and there is no reason to touch Gui Ruyuan's mold, so everyone echoed, sang praises of virtue, and bragged about the defeat of losing the city without a single soldier, as if he really tried to block the wise move.

Gui Ruyuan was complacent, smiled and pressed his hand, and said: "On the day of this matter, Zhao Yanna, this idiot, still intended to oppose it, Lao Tzu dismissed his official, and now the facts are in front of you, the focus of the Mongols is on the Xia State, and Temujin is heavily encircled and suppressed, how can there be a reason to fight on both sides?" This person has no ink on his chest, how can he be the town marshal of Xingyuan Rongsi? I have already gone to the court, and the will of the other rulers will come later. ”

Cheng Xin said: "I heard that Zhao Yanna has left in the starry night and went to the capital, he has a very close relationship with Li Jie, will he ......?"

"What are you afraid of him doing?" Gui Ruyuan waved his hand and said loudly: "Speaking of Li Jie, I heard that there have been a lot of small movements recently?" ”

"Yes, he sent Caosi manpower to arrest people everywhere, intercept roads and block roads, sweep away many halls in the Jingshen Gang, and also involve people in the Tang Sect, there are actions in the open and in the dark, recently our private salt profits have been greatly reduced, and the salt stacks in many places have been out of stock, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will lose people's hearts, and there will be problems with the cooperation between Boss Jin and us in the future." The person sitting at the bottom hurriedly stood up, he was a general in the Imperial Division, Tong Wenmo, born in Wujinshi, and was extremely trusted by Gui Ruyuan, and he was responsible for the sale of private salt.

"Humph! Jin Rucheng he dares! Gui Ruyuan patted the table, and said with horizontal eyebrows: "Jingshen helps a grass coward, I will uproot it with my fingers, without me as his backer, Jin Rucheng is still in the ravine and ravine, Li Jie is still around!" He has a problem, and I still have a problem! ”

"Of course Jin Rucheng doesn't dare to do this, but Zhen Shuai, Li Jie's approach really has a great impact on our business after the beginning of spring." Jiang Yu Hou hurriedly said.

"Humph! Speaking of which, it's not that he blames Jin Rucheng for being incompetent! Pan Fu interjected, with a look of disdain: "A few assassins were sent out, not only did they not succeed, but they also made a lot of trouble, so that Li Jie got the handle and embarrassed the town commander, if you want me to say, just change someone to cooperate, without his Jingshen Gang, you can't do this business?" ”

"That's right! General Pan is right! Someone chimed in: "This person is useless, just change someone else to do it!" ”

Everyone is in an uproar, the private salt is lucrative, everyone follows Gui Ruyuan to sit on the ground to make money, make a lot of money, how happy, someone comes to destroy, that is the public enemy of everyone.

"Wait! Although Jin Rucheng is stupid, but after all, he is the head snake, without him, and if he supports another person, he will not have such a deep network foundation, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better not to move him easily, the current plan should be put on how to deal with Li Jie. Gui Ruyuan grimaced, squinted, and said slowly.

And they all shut their mouths, and looked at him together, and listened to him.

"Li Jie wants to show his merits and wants to give a big gift in front of Shi Xianggong, okay, I'll give him a big gift." Gui Ruyuan's face became more and more sinister, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a smile, as if he was about to be the king of Hades, and people shuddered when he saw it.

He raised his head, patted the case and said: "In the name of the envoy department, I wrote a letter, saying that the five states outside the Guanxi Province, because of the transshipment envoy department's wanton expropriation and expropriation, on the pretext of levying military expenses, filled his private pockets, made the people miserable, the people were miserable, the population migrated, and the five states have become barren ruins, all of which were committed by his Li Jie's atrocities!" ”

"Directly on Shi Xianggong's desk, I think he Li Jie is still dead!"
