"Then, this matter will be settled by yourselves, and this king will be purely a spectator. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On April 26, in the hall of the county government of Anling County, Zhao Hongrun sat on the main seat and said with a smile to everyone in the hall.

I saw that in front of him, there was a long table, closest to Zhao Hongrun, and opposite sat Yan Yong, the county magistrate of Anling County, and Peng Yi, the county magistrate of Yanling County, these two county magistrates were holding tea cups, and they seemed to be smiling, but the glances that flashed in each other's eyes from time to time were enough to prove that the two were not as harmonious as they appeared.

As for the table outside, there were also ten people sitting in front of them, and their expressions were even more tense and unsmiling.

On Anling's side, of course, it is Zhao Chengzhi, Zhao Chengjiong, Zhao Chengtang, Zhao Chengcan, and Zhao Chengxiu, the children of the Zhao family in Anling, that is, the "five sons of the Zhao family" that has gradually spread in Anling in the past two days, under the arrangement of Zhao Hongrun, these five people will talk with Yanling County as representatives of more than 100,000 people in Anling.

On the Yanling County side, there are also five people, two of whom are still familiar faces, it is the Gongying and Gongfu brothers who are now famous in Yanling, and the other three are Gan Fei, Che Jiang, and Cai Hong, all of whom are the children of nobles in Yanling County.

Some people may wonder, doesn't it mean that it represents the will of the people, why are both of them the children of the nobility.

There is no way, because in this era, a pure commoner cannot convince the public, and second, their knowledge and talent cannot take on such an important matter and achieve results in county-to-county level talks.

As for the third, although this is not a good thing to say, it is undeniable that most of the civilians in this era are hot-blooded, blind, and cloudy, and it is okay to let them carry weapons to the battlefield, but they can argue with others at the negotiation table, perhaps except for being forced to scold a series of foul words greeting each other's ancestors and mothers, I am afraid that there is no complete and constructive basis.

In contrast, although most of the five sons of the Zhao family are gentlemen, they are still more than a few chips higher than the commoners in terms of essays and knowledge.

Of course, the same is true for Yan Ling's side.

The five sons of the Zhao family, and the five people of Yan Ling, sat opposite each other and looked at each other.

Today's negotiations are very simple and general, that is, how to end the boring confrontation between Anling and Yanling, because even if there is no incident of "the murder of Gong's young son", there are fierce conflicts between the people of the two counties in the past.

The reason is very simple, it is nothing more than that almost all of the people living in Anling are Wei people, and almost all of the people living in Yanling are Chu people who defected to Wei.

National sentiment only.

But to end the antagonism between the two counties, it will inevitably involve a central question: who bows their heads? Who conceded?

It is this core issue that makes none of the ten noble children present dare not relax.

Just kidding, today's Anling and Yanling are super counties with hundreds of thousands of people, and the five sons of the Zhao family and the five Yanling people are standing behind each other with hundreds of thousands of people who are eagerly looking forward to their victory, if this is messed up, the spit of the hundreds of thousands of people will be enough to drown the five of them.

There was silence for a long time, and among the five people in Yan Ling, a man named Gan Fei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su's order, how dare I disobey it?" Moreover, my Yanling also has the meaning of turning war into jade silk with Anling, but it is just ...... The thing An Ling did some time ago made Yan Ling indignant. ”

Hearing this, the fifth son, Zhao Chengjiong, frowned and said, "Hasn't the Wang family already paid you compensation for that incident?" ”

Before the words fell, he saw the third son, Zhao Chengzhi, glaring at the clan brothers, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Little Wu, don't talk nonsense!" Saying that, he turned his head to look at Gan Fei, and said with a smile: "The main culprit in that incident is the Wang family, and the Wang family has been expelled from Anling, and can no longer be regarded as my Anling people, Yan Ling and Wang's grievances, you may as well solve it yourself, today's discussion is only between Anling and Yan Ling, and I hope that this brother will not involve outsiders." ”

"Zhao San can......

Zhao Hongrun nodded secretly while listening.

In his opinion, that Gan Fei clearly wanted to borrow the last thing to occupy the moral high ground: You Anling did such an excessive thing to our Yanling last time, and didn't give up some benefits, isn't it reasonable?

However, the third son, Zhao Chengzhi, was not fooled, and in a few words, he classified the main culprit Wang as an outsider: I'm sorry, the Wang family has nothing to do with our Anling, if you want to compensate, you can find the Wang family yourself.

It can be seen that the nobles are not all straw bales, it's just that these people used to live too comfortably, in Zhao Hongrun's words, it's these boys who owe pump!

I have to say that Zhao Chengzhi's words made Gan Fei speechless.

"Find the Wang family to solve it yourself? God knows where those bastards have gone? Do we dare to chase after us?'

Gan Fei snorted hatefully.

Yes, he didn't dare, although Zhao Hongrun emphasized that their Chu people who defected to the Wei State had the same status as the Wei people, but as the so-called people are self-aware, they will defect to other people's countries after all, and Gan Fei naturally understands the truth that everything must be conceded by three points, so as not to arouse the disgust of the Wei people.

As for Gan Fei's glare, the third son, Zhao Chengzhi, didn't pay attention to it at all, because he was sure that these Chu people would not dare to chase after Zhengcheng.

This is the gap: if it were an ordinary civilian, perhaps under Gan Fei's accusation, he would have resigned himself to the compensation that Xia Anling would give to Yan Ling.

And the compensation is a small matter, losing face, being spit on by hundreds of thousands of people because they lost the negotiations, and losing face, which is a big deal.

This is related to whether the Zhao family can really replace the status of the Wang family in Anling and become the largest wealthy family in Anling.

In the ensuing time, the two sides exchanged words, coming and going, as if it was a battlefield, and it was as fierce as a battlefield, and it was so direct that Yan Yong and Peng Yi, the two county magistrates, were eager to go on the field in person and argue with each other.

But unfortunately, they, like Zhao Hongrun, are just spectators.

On the other hand, Zhao Hongrun sat very steadily, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sipping slowly, his eyes showing a look of distraction from time to time.

The chief guard of the sect guarding was proud to bet that if he didn't look at his Royal Highness sitting steadily, he must have been distracted and wanted to do something else.

Glancing at the negotiation table, Wei Jiao bent down and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you don't say anything to stop it, I'm afraid these ten people will have to roll up their sleeves and fight......"

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun, who was distracted, finally came back to his senses when he heard the words and glanced at the negotiation table.

But isn't it, I saw that the two sides who were still sitting in danger just now, one by one, were fighting with red faces and thick necks, where could they still take care of the aristocratic momentum, as if they were just like the ordinary people in the market, stepping on the stool, shouting and provoking each other.

"You have the ability to come?! I'm not afraid of you! ”

"I don't inquire, my Zhao brothers never admit it!"

"Hey! For the sake of His Royal Highness King Su's face, we didn't care about you guys...... What Zhao Thirteen, do you dare to fight alone with my Gongying? ”

"Let's wait until you're healed, dead lame!"

"You bastard......

Just when the five sons of the Zhao family and the five members of Yan Ling were about to roll up their sleeves, and the other was about to dismantle the stool, and they might scuffle with each other at any time, they suddenly heard a sneer from the side: "Hehe." ”

Suddenly, the colors of both sides suddenly changed, and they realized that this was in front of His Royal Highness King Su.

So, the next moment they sat down honestly and didn't dare to make a mistake.

However, Zhao Hongrun did not reprimand, because he had already guessed that the smell of gunpowder in this negotiation would be extremely strong, because this would directly affect the status of Yan Ling and An Ling in the future, and neither side would back down.

Fortunately, he already had an idea.

"Sure enough, you can't tell the result with your mouth alone...... Well, since neither of you will back down, would you like to have a fight? ”

"How do you compare?" Gong Ying had a lot of respect for Zhao Hongrun, and asked in a soothing tone when he heard the words.

I saw Zhao Hongrun gently tapping the corner of his forehead with his fingers, looking at the ten people and saying with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, it's just playing." …… But to play, let's play something big. ”

For a moment, there was silence in the room, and they were all attracted by Zhao Hongrun's words.

I saw Zhao Hongrun put down the teacup, put his hands crossed on the table, and said slowly: "Let's set up a game, if Anling wins, the hill between the two counties in the future will be called Anqiu, otherwise, it will be called Yanqiu." …… The king remembered that there was a river in the place where the two counties were separated, and the people of the two counties often went to this place to fetch water on weekdays, so in the future, the upper reaches of this river would return to the victors, and the lower reaches would return to the losers. ”

“……”

Hearing this, the five sons of the Zhao family and the five people of An Ling were dumbfounded, and even their breathing was a little short.

To be honest, these lottery heads proposed by Zhao Hongrun actually have no actual benefits, but there is only one point, that is, it can make the winning side earn enough face.

"In addition, the king allows, allows the winning side to taunt the loser as much as he wants...... The winner is king! ”

Hearing this, Yan Yong, the county magistrate of Anling County, was shocked, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Su, you are ...... Not suitable, right? ”

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart at this moment: Do you want to resolve the grievances between the two counties, or do you want to pour a barrel of oil on the grievances between the two counties?

However, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to stop Yan Yong, and said with a smile: "Each other is fair and just, and the skills are not as good as others, who can blame them?" …… By the way, this king just thought of a more interesting one, this king plans to ask people to erect a stone monument on the border of Yanling and Anling counties, just call it 'boundary stone', the winner, every year in the presence of the other party, move a mile to the other county......"

Hearing this, Yan Yong and Peng Yi's complexions changed drastically.

Although it is not a lot of land, the meaning of this itself is too significant.

It's okay now, the people of Anling and Yanling counties have to be blown up!

"How?" Zhao Hongrun looked at everyone with interest.

I saw that after glancing at each other, the five people on Yan Ling's side all showed a "hideous" smile, and looked at the five sons of the Zhao family as if provocatively: "Do you dare to take it?" ”

The five sons of the Zhao family suddenly changed from the former gentlemen to the messengers who now shoulder the reputation of a county, although they were apprehensive, but they were not good at bowing their heads at such a time, so they sneered one after another.

"Why don't you dare?"

"In the coming year, I will add one more mile of land to Anling, tsk, I can't ask for it!"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing again, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "What are you arguing about?" See you here! …… You all go back, call on the people with lofty ideals in the county, don't lose when the time comes, and put forward many excuses, which this king will not ignore. ”

"Just according to what His Royal Highness King Su said!"

The five sons of the Zhao family said in unison with the five people of Yan Ling. (To be continued.) )
