"Yushi, tonight is Chen Zhi's banquet, let me wait to catch the wind and wash the dust, I will meet those family members during the banquet, and then I really want to see their expressions, listen to their words, and then see how Chen Zhi's expression is."

In the courtyard prepared for the imperial court envoys, Zhang Yang and Yu Liang were playing in the corridor, and Zhang Yang's mouth was imagining the future scene.

This corridor is clean and quiet, the two of them knelt in front of the chessboard, looking calm, Zhang Yang was talking at the same time, but also reached out and dropped a white piece on the chessboard.

Yu Liang was holding a sunspot, which also landed on the chessboard, and said lightly: "You can't say that, after all, it is Daijun, and these families may have scruples and delay time." ”

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, picked up a chess piece, and said: "Chen Zhi represents the county guard, and Yushi represents the imperial court, which is more important, they must be able to distinguish clearly." After the words fell, he pressed the chess pieces on the chessboard, then smiled slightly, lifted the three pieces from Yu Liang's front and put them in the box beside him.

Yu Liang shook his head and said: "You can't blindly feel that everything is going well, not to mention that I sent so many people to contact these families, and I didn't plan for them to agree immediately, after all, Chen Zhi has a proper momentum, and these companies are afraid that they will take the invitation at most, and then make an appointment with me for another time, what I want is just to step by step." ”

After Hua finished speaking, he put down the chess pieces, shook his head and said, "This game of chess, you are going to win." ”

"It's still thoughtful." Zhang Yang also put down the chess pieces, "I won this game by luck, but I can't talk about a small game, and I can't be considered a good thing. ”

When Yu Liang heard this, he seemed to remember something, frowned, and then shook his head.

"He Chen Zhike is also a master of hand talk."

On the opposite side, Zhang Yang was enthusiastically sorting out the chessboard.

"Anyway, we have to wait for a response from that side, so it's better to play another game."

………………

"Don't accept this invitation!

Tang family, Tang Taigong frowned when he learned of the invitation sent by Yu Liang, shook his head directly, and said to Tang Dian and the others in front of him: "Such a thing, you actually came to ask me, don't you have a little bit in your heart?" What is our situation now? That generation of kilns has been built, you have seen the blast furnace, and the finished product is said to be about to be available. ”

"I'm not...... I didn't ......" was severely reprimanded by the Taigong, Tang Dian was immediately a little stunned, he rarely saw his Taigong, showing such a look.

"Confused, no one should let him in!" Seeing Tang Dian's appearance, Tang Taigong lowered his tone, "Go, send people out first, don't take the invitation, and then send someone to the yamen...... No, you go to the yamen in person and report this matter to the Taishou! ”

As the words fell, the old man narrowed his eyes and smiled a little.

"I want to see if anyone dares to follow the other families, if so, then it would be great, if there are one or two less big clans in our Dai County, there will be room for my Tang family to exert themselves, otherwise in the future, the Chen family will be powerful, and my Tang family may have to shrink its power!"

When Tang Dian heard this, he suddenly understood, nodded, turned around and left.

………………

"This invitation, should I accept it first, and then send someone to contact the imperial historian?"

On behalf of the county prince's mansion, Wang Huo looked at the letter in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and stopped the people who were going to report the news to several princes in the back house.

"I don't need to tell it, I thought about it carefully, the current generation of the county is too unstable, I heard that Taishou intends to form a secret organization, which is to be used to monitor our family, it is likely to find the handle of our family, and then weaken it to death, and definitely not let Taishou seize this opportunity! Besides, the matter of the paper mill has not yet been implemented, one accidentally annoyed the Taishou, and the other families are the most happy, and they directly swallowed our share of profits! ”

With this in mind, he called for a junior and handed the invitation to him.

"Go, send me this invitation back, and tell the Imperial Historian that I have been unwell in the last few days! Apologize to him. ”

When the junior heard this, his face was bitter, he didn't know where this was an errand that offended people, I was afraid that he would be hated by the imperial historian when he passed this time, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the head of the family, so he could only walk out dejectedly.

Seeing that the person was gone, Wang Huo still frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly stood up.

"I have to explain this matter to Taishou in person, otherwise if I am misunderstood, then I will do all these things in vain, and maybe other families will seize the opportunity to make it bad."

Thinking so, he sent someone to inform the elders in the backyard, and before he could reply, he should leave first.

………………

"This invitation, my Zhu family can't accept it, and I can't accept it, please go back and inform Yushi and Zhang Jun that my Zhu family can't go to the appointment, I hope he can understand."

At the same time, in the lobby of the Zhu family, the new resident Zhu Xian looked at the man in front of him with a surprised face, and said categorically.

In all fairness, although this man is dressed as a servant, he has a moderate demeanor, which is no less than some celebrities, and at first glance he was cultivated by a big family, which makes people inevitably feel good at first sight.

But looking at this person at this time, Zhu Xian just wanted to leave far away, and it was best not to have any contact with this person, otherwise it would be misunderstood by Chen Zhi, and it would take a long time to explain.

The man looked stunned, he wanted to say something, but he was knowledgeable, just looking at Zhu Xian's attitude, it was obvious that he couldn't make sense, so he arched his hand and didn't linger any longer.

As soon as the people on this side left, Zhu Xian breathed a sigh of relief over there.

At this time, Na Zhu Wan came over and asked with some doubts: "No matter what this person says, it also represents the imperial history, to a certain extent, it can be said that it is the face of the imperial court, and it will be inappropriate to just blast it away?" ”

Zhu Xian glanced at him, shook his head and said, "How long has it been since the examples of the Zheng family and the Liu family?" Shouldn't our Zhu family take this as a warning? The mistake of the previous head of the family has not been eliminated, do you dare to make it again? Do you know what a price we paid and what promises we made in order to calm Taishou's anger? ”

The previous head of the Zhu family, that Zhu Liu, because he came forward when Liu Frame took the lead against Chen, so he fell into the handle, and as soon as Liu Frame died, he bore the brunt of it, although Chen Zhi did not delve into it, but where did the Zhu family dare to connive, first took off his human rights and took charge of the industry in other places, and at the same time avoided trouble, on the other hand, he withdrew from the new head of the family to negotiate with Chen Zhi, apologized, promised benefits, and entrusted allegiance, this set of combination punches down, and finally took a breath.

As a result, at this time, someone suddenly came to the door, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the intention behind it, so it was no wonder that Zhu Xian was a little angry.

Isn't this a pit man?

"In short, this matter must not be mentioned again, and there should be no similar actions, you instruct to go down, in the next two months, do not have anything to do with the people sent by the imperial court, let alone have contact, if anyone feels that he can't stand this request, tell me, I will send him to stay somewhere else."

Zhu Xian had a fire in his heart, and his words couldn't help but have a trace of anger, and when the others heard it, they were all silent.

Then, Zhu Xian picked up his coat and hat and was about to go out.

Zhu Wan looked puzzled and chased after him to ask.

"Where else can I go?" Zhu Xian sighed, "Everyone has come in, if you don't explain it to Taishou, Taishou may not think too much, and others may not know how to chew the root of their tongue and become a family, it's difficult......"

With this sigh, the man departed.

At the same time, as the man who sent the invitation left from Zhu's house, several people who sent the post came back one after another, and returned to the independent courtyard before and after, and saw Yu Liang and Zhang Yang.

The person who sent the new Zhu family, as soon as he came in, happened to see that on the corridor, Yu Liang put down the chess pieces, looked at a person and frowned and asked, "You said that the people of the Tang family are unwilling to take the post?" ”

The person who was asked was the one who went to Tang's house to deliver the invitation, and this person lowered his head and said: "Originally, I was going to take it, but then Tang Dian went to ask the elders in the family again, and when he came back, he refused." ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but say: "These old guys, one by one, are really blind, and they only care about the little stability in front of them!" ”

Yu Liang frowned, looked at the person who had just walked over, and asked, "What did the Zhu family say?" ”

"Zhu family ......" The person who sent the Zhu family took out the invitation from his arms and stepped forward quickly, "The Zhu family didn't answer either, and his tone was resolute!" ”

"What a Zhu family! is being suppressed by Chen Zhi, and he dares to refuse us, what a boldness! Zhang Yang couldn't help but comment again, they got a lot of information about the Daijun family from Wang Jun.

Yu Liang frowned, speechless for a long time, but finally nodded and said: "The Tang family and Chen Zhi are close, and the Zhu family is under Chen Zhi's high pressure, this result is not unexpected." ”

When Zhang Yang heard this, he also felt a little reasonable, but he felt as if Yu Liang was comforting himself, and at the same time picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

Yu Liang absentmindedly picked up a chess piece, but before he could drop the chess piece, the servant who went to send his heart to the Wang family came back.

"How?" When the man came to him, Yu Liang immediately couldn't help but ask, "What do the people of the Wang family say?" ”

"The Wang family accepted the invitation, but did not say the specific time, saying that they wanted to discuss."

Hearing this, Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then said lightly: "This Wang family still knows that it is powerful, and it is normal that it is not given immediately, and it is expected ...... me."

Zhang Yang also nodded and said with a smile: "The Wang family can have a future." ”

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a little servant walked quickly, came to Yu Liang's side, and whispered: "Lord, a son of the Wang family is coming." ”

"Children of the Wang family?" When Yu Liang heard this, he sighed in his heart, "What is he doing?" ”

"The man said," said the rumored boy, after a moment's hesitation, "that he had come to return the invitation." ”

"Returning an invitation?" Yu Liang's face suddenly turned pale, and the chess pieces in his hand also fell.

This is not over, and then two more people came in from outside the door, walked quickly to Yu Liang, bowed their heads and whispered......

"Gentleman Qiyu, the Liu family doesn't know what to do, so they won't let me in to deliver the post."

"Reporting to the Lord, the Zheng family is not good or bad, no one answers!"

Wow!

In the next breath, Yu Liang's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to knock the chessboard aside.

Suddenly, black and white fell all over the ground.
