Chapter 141 - Negotiation (Text)
Titi's carriage, under the guidance of Chen's experience, came to Zuocheng, near the Zongfan Courtyard, known as Lanliufang, the urban area of Guipingli.
It is different from other public living areas, and the most common street landscapes such as kapok, camellia, and hibiscus are different. After passing the lacquer archway which is a landmark,
The most of the streets here are filled with night-scented flowers such as osmanthus and magnolia, and the air smells a little more fat and powder, making the night a little more beautiful.
There is a slight sound of bamboo music, which begins to flow faintly in the cool night breeze, and hidden behind Gao Qiang and the attic is a continuous pile of wind and moon.
Those, slender and graceful figures behind the curtains and curtains, with a half-exposed figure, a striking bright wrist and lotus root, and a warbler and a soft language, directly or indirectly attract, passing by the attention and eyes of pedestrians, both the so-called "Qilou Wangke", which is also a major cultural landscape of Guangfu.
For some topics that are inconvenient to put on the table, or objects that are not suitable for entertaining at home, the "I" in my early years have also visited one or two similar special places, and even small-scale private screenings, but I have never stayed overnight.
In a certain way, I have memories of different styles and experiences in many places from Guangfu to Luodu to Jiangning, and I can barely be regarded as half an old bird.
The carriage went straight through the distractions of the brightly lit rule,
When I came to the door of a small courtyard surrounded by greenery, there was a gap between me and my psychological expectations
Inside, there is a world of delicacy and magnificence,
Some singing tunes in a typical Nanyin style linger in the corridors.
"This is the residence of the Ryukyu clan Sho......"
Chen Shi turned his head sideways and whispered to me.
This Ryukyu is the later Ryukyu, the Okinawa Islands colonized by Japan in modern times, so the Ryukyu Domain is not a big domain, in fact, when the Shang clan opened the Ryukyu Domain, the entire island of the Tu Sanshan tribe of the entire household registration is only a thousand.
However, the geographical location is too good, the so-called East China Sea is important, the folding of the vassals, so it relies on providing transit and services for passing ships, and the rich party, the Shang family also operates maritime trade as a worldly business, even in the maritime group of Guangfu, it is also regarded as the top ten deposits.
And the Shang family claimed that the ancestor was from Shang Kegu, who had gone through the three dynasties of Tianbao, Qianyuan, and Taixing, but their ancestors who had a history to be examined were actually from a certain anti-thief in the land of Jianghuai who swarmed during the Guanying period - the Heavenly Army.
After the defeat of the leader Shang Rang, the second of them, Shang Junchang, took the remnants of the township party to seize the ship and went to sea, drifted to the Ryukyus, then seized its land, and asked for ministers in the South China Sea, so it was called the Ryukyu Domain.
Although he is richer than most of the sea clans, he is a little worse in terms of family background and background, so his status on weekdays is a little embarrassing, and he is secretly called a first-class outburst, but he has many mansions in the city, as a place to make friends with the upper class.
Meeting on such an occasion seems to represent a certain attitude, as well as room for buffering and maneuvering. The owner here is Shang's, and he just showed up to say a few words, leaving us a clean place
At the beginning, the patriarch who accepted my petition appeared, his surname was Du, the word Junyi, it is said that the ancestor was one of the prime ministers' lineage of Nanben, and after the Du clan, among the hundreds of patriarchs in the Zongfanyuan, he was considered a young man
"Rasheng ......"
His apologetic, elongated tone gave me goosebumps all over my body
"I have the right to do things, and I have to do this."
"Anyway, that's how it ......"
Chen Zikun, who gave the order to transfer troops, fled from the heavily guarded barracks, and Liu Ziguang, the captain who led the team to the street, died, drowned in the dung bucket.
These two key figures escaped and died, how could it be so just, and when I asked the Zong Fan Yuan to enter the defense procedure, I got this result.
My first reaction was, is your sister playing with me?
Chen experienced an embarrassed face and stood aside, as if he was also a little helpless about this situation.
"This is a huge scandal for the Sect Clan, if I don't give up and continue to pursue it
I quickly figured out the cause and effect.
"Of course, you can't touch the people behind the scenes, but the clan itself is not necessarily better than ......"
"Rasheng ......"
Du Junyi's face froze, but he smiled bitterly
"Why bother us ...... standing in the foreground"
"Then why bother with such a small feudal family......
I retorted with a sneer
"Because of the unscrupulousness of some people, what is the unjustified calamity that has been suffered......
"Luo Sheng, are you going to go your own way......?"
His face changed and he sighed, but there was some kind of threat in it.
"You don't come back to life when you die,"
I continued to
"Not to mention the reputation and reputation of the family...... That's it."
The mess left by the Huiyuan has to be properly handled, money is still a trivial matter, and the loss of credibility and confidence is the most important thing.
And for me, the biggest impact is that losing this platform for rational money management has made a lot of things inconvenient all of a sudden.
"I have no reason to take care of your overall situation for the fault of others......"
Speaking of this, I gritted my teeth and said in a deep voice.
"It's a big deal, and the broken bones must let those who act recklessly know what the wrath of the puppet is......"
Du Junyi's face was stunned, and he was a little speechless, and there was a cold scene, so I took the opportunity to turn around and leave.
"Thank you for your hospitality, no need to give ......"
"Why ...... this?"
At this time, someone could not sit still, and came out from the other end of the tent, but it was another older patriarch with whom I had a relationship, but I did not know his name.
"This is the head of the Deng ...... of the Patriarch's Council of the Clan."
Du Junyi also came back to his senses and hurriedly introduced
"I am fortunate to see Deng Shou's honorable ......"
I was slightly surprised,
The affairs of the Imperial Court were quite complicated, so a number of special committees were set up to deal with the affairs of the feudal domain, such as the Magistrate's Council, which was dedicated to the adjudication and negotiation of criminal matters of the Maritime Domain.
As the head of the council, it can be regarded as one of the core members, still above the senior elders who have the right to propose and decide.
I was also in a bold posture, I wanted to refuse directly, and next time I would seek better conditions and, but I didn't expect to directly lead out a big fish.
"The people of the Xiao Riding School, relying on the shade of the door, this is really too unorthodox......"
This Deng Shouzao spoke warmly to me
"It is an unforgivable sin to damage the relationship between the government and the vassals......"
"But in any case, it is reasonable, Luo Sheng should compensate for one or two ......"
"The Chen family will naturally bear the loss of your mansion and Huiyuan, and the new license will also be issued...... Chase Baoxing, which is under the Nanhai Society, will also announce how to invest in one or two. ”
This can be regarded as a lure, Chase Treasure Bank is the largest precious metal trading house under the South China Sea Society, and the silver family behind the mysterious creatures has been seeking for many years.
"In addition, I would like to request that the family retain the right to pursue the relevant persons to the end......
After a series of promises came out, I thought about it and made up the last request.
"I can ignore the back, but the people who have come forward, whether they live or die, must give me an explanation.
"If you can't do it, you can't stop me from getting ...... myself."
"This"
Du Junyi hesitated. But it was Deng Shouzuo who rushed to answer
"As it should be"
Moments after "I" left, Du Junyi sighed
"The last one, why should Duke Deng accept him like this,......"
"I know your friendship with Tanlang, and I know your original intention"
Deng Shouza warned quietly
"But the benefits of the Chen family are not so easy to take......
"I accidentally pulled our council into the water......
"The Dragon Bird Garden handed over a letter of approval, expressing some concern for the Sect Domain, and echoing a certain request
"Now the situation is no longer for you and me to manipulate......"
When I got home, it was late at night, yawning and lying on the table, waiting for my enigmatic creature, and after listening to the process, I suddenly asked
"Why add the last condition, it's not about pushing the people behind them into a corner and offending to death
"Do you think that if I let go of these culprits, the people behind them will be grateful to me and stretch out a good hand......
I gave her a blank look, and perhaps this is the subtle difference between the thinking positions of women and men.
"Girl, you're so sweet......"
"Since we have become a stumbling block to the other party, why worry about offending a little more and a little less
"I can only pull the horse, and I see the move......
"After all, we are not alone in ......"
Here, it is only to reach an intention, and then look at the respective conditions and prior circumstances, in order to complete the final agreement, Chen Shi as a representative in a sense, witnessing the on-site negotiations.
The battlefield on my side may have come to an end temporarily, but the battlefield on Mrs. Chen's side has just begun.
In the days that followed, I realized that I seemed to underestimate their determination and content to make amends
Overnight, all kinds of problems seem to be solved, or naturally eliminated.
The newly sent representative of the General Administration of the Cantonese Navy put forward an order for a larger amount, and the term was as long as eight years, and the scope of procurement was expanded to more than 20 kinds.
The families who climbed the Blue Road were sentenced to exile and cane punishment in the fastest time.
The licenses of the Tiangong and Yakumo Society were also reissued within the fastest efficiency, and the clerk personally delivered them to the door.
Those who deal with each other also seem to have changed again, and they have all become polite and enthusiastic, and they are possessed by exemplary civil servants.
This is the role of the power behind the scenes directly reflected on the table, which makes people unable to extricate themselves, and it is a bit illusory and not practical enough to save the sense.
Many years later, when I was able to hold the power again, and after re-entering the dusty old files, I can't help but sigh that the chance and luck of the year actually escaped such a halfway disaster at the beginning of my life.
