Chapter 384: Each Sharpens His Own Knife (2)

"Yo, the fourteenth brother is back."

"Old Fourteen, what's the situation? What did that bastard boy say? ”

……

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Prince Lian's mansion, the eighth master and others sat around the table, chanting and drinking, although there was chatting, but the atmosphere was obviously not very harmonious, there was no side, the old fourteen had a big stake in this, and it was impossible for a group of people not to care, but they were not good to show it, and they just talked casually to pass the time, just when they were bored, but they heard a sound of footsteps, the old fourteen had come out of the entrance of the building, the ninth and tenth masters saw it, and almost at the same time opened their mouths to say hello, the difference is that the old ten is anxious, Regardless of it, he went straight to the point.

"That bastard is really tough!"

The old fourteenth was not in a hurry to answer the old ten's question, first nodded to the eighth master, and then walked to the empty brocade pier in front of the banquet, lifted the hem of the robe, sat down heavily, and scolded angrily.

"Grandma's bear, I know that bastard boy is not a thing, there is more than enough success, and there is more than enough failure, and he should kill a thousand knives of goods......"

Lao Shi's temperament is anxious, and when he heard Lao Fourteen say this, he didn't ask clearly, and even if he was violently spurting words.

"Tenth brother, don't be impatient, what did that kid say, fourteenth brother, you should make it clear."

Seeing this, even if he was a little impatient, he waved his hand to stop the meaningless nonsense of Lao Shi, looked at Lao Fourteen with a frown, and hurriedly asked.

"Here's the thing, bastard......"

Lao Fourteen didn't sell anything more, shook his head, and explained in detail the negotiation with Hongqing.

"What? Governor of Fujian? Grandma is a bear, that little muddy ball really dares to speak, it's strange if he doesn't slap him to death, damn, how many people have been taken out of the family, and how many favors have been taken, it was not easy to take down such a governor, he is good, he wants it with one mouth, and there is no door! ”

Lao Shi was angry, and when he heard Hongqing's exchange conditions, even if he jumped up like an angry lion and slapped a few sons, he scolded without much image.

"This bastard, you really dare to speak, hey, really a few brothers have no money?"

Hongqing's conditions are clear, not to mention that the old ten are angry, that is, even the nine masters, who have always been cautious, are angry, you must know that since the forty-three years of Kangxi, the way for the brothers to get money has become less and less, not only the treasury has no money to borrow, but most of the income of the criminal department has also been wiped out, and then counting the loss of the "Qilin firm" cut off the financial route, the ninth master and the tenth master are already very shy in their pockets, and the silver that should be spent is scarce to be spent. The tenth master has vacated most of the silver at the bottom of the box, which can be regarded as taking such an important position in his hands, and this is when he wants the brothers to spit out such a big benefit, it is really like digging the hearts of the brothers, and it is a matter of course to scold the mother.

"It's excessive, because of this, the younger brother doesn't want to accept it, but vaguely said that it will be discussed, if the ninth brother and the tenth brother think it's inappropriate, then the little brother will go back to the house."

The ninth master and the tenth master scolded him like this, and the old fourteenth was very unhappy, no side, but he talked about it and scolded Hongqing, wouldn't he even scold him with the fourteenth master, besides, in the eyes of the old fourteenth, compared to the big profit of overthrowing the prince, the position of a governor is a very big deal, and he can't even understand such a truth, and the two masters deserve to be a bunch of idle characters, of course, if they are unhappy, they will not show it, It was just a suggestion that he made a gesture of hatred.

"Enough!"

Seeing that the younger brothers were chattering endlessly, the already upset Eighth Master couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped a few slaps suddenly, Huo Ran got up, and after breaking off, he didn't look at the ugly faces of the younger brothers, lowered his head, and paced back and forth in the pavilion like ants on a hot pot.

The eighth master is very annoying, not ordinary annoyance, since he was humiliated by the old man for the position of the prince last year, he has found that his leadership position in the group has gradually shaken, not only the officials who are attached to the bottom gradually have a heart to deviate from morality, even a few younger brothers also have different thoughts, although they are still very respectful on the surface, but in fact they are already playing small tricks, especially the most presumptuous of the old fourteen, if there is no improvement, the huge group of the eight masters will eventually fall apart, And this is obviously not a weight that the eighth master can bear, in other words, if the eighth master wants to maintain his position as a leader, the only way to go is to enter the East Palace as soon as possible, otherwise, then there is only a retreat, and the old fourteen go out to fight, and this is obviously not a situation that the eighth master is happy to see, therefore, this time the prince can be said to be the last fight of the eighth master to take the right path, if it doesn't work out, the right way for the eighth master has been completely cut off, the situation is so grim, but the younger brothers are still there to worry about it, This is how can the eighth master hold back the anger in his heart.

"Ninth brother, let the governor come out, and the silver spent will be paid by the brother."

After pacing back and forth, the eighth master's mood had eased down a little, so he stopped, looked around at the younger brothers with different expressions, considered his tone, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Alas......"

The eighth master is still the leader in the end, and since he has opened his mouth, the ninth master is not easy to object, so he just shook his head and sighed.

"Grandma's bear, and the third child's muddy ball is cheaper, it's really fucking unlucky!"

Although the tenth master was not good at opposing the eighth master's decision, he was extremely unwilling in his heart, so he clenched his fists fiercely and slapped his hands, and scolded hatefully.

"What the starling said is that the position of the governor is just a governor, so why not give it, but if you can bring down the prince this time, everything will be worth it, hey, if you really get to that time, the starling's opportunity will come."

The fourteenth master saw it very openly, and when he saw that the ninth or eleventh master was unwilling, he interjected a sentence from the side and comforted him with all his might, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew it.

"This matter is so decided, whether it is the governor of Fujian or the governor of Guangdong, let it out first, for the brother this can be described as the last fight, if it does not succeed, the brother will die of the heart, since the younger brothers continue to fight, this heart, but also please brothers to complete one, two, for the brother first thank you here."

The eighth master knew that the younger brothers had different thoughts, but he had no choice, and in order to win people's hearts, he had to lower his posture and make a gesture towards the younger brothers, pleading with a sincere and sad face.

"Starling, what are you talking about, the younger brother only serves you alone in his life, let alone a governor, even if you want the younger brother to go to the soup!"

Hearing what the eighth master said, the ninth master's heart was moved, no side, according to the age and title, he is the second person in the group, the eighth master is not playing, he has the heart to take over, but, he just thinks about this in his heart, saying that he will definitely not say it, not only that, but he has to get up quickly, and show his loyalty in an impassioned manner.

"That's right, the younger brother only listens to the starling, regardless of whether there is a knife mountain or a sea of fire in front of him, the younger brother definitely doesn't frown, just accompany the starling brother to break down!"

The tenth master didn't have any big ambitions, of course, he also didn't realize that there were subtle changes in his small group, and he just wanted to arch the eighth master to the top position, and the eighth master's words were already talking about such a field, and the tenth master was in a mood, and he was very energetic.

"Brother Ten's words are right, Brother Starling is the face of Mingjun, we should support ourselves, this heart will never be easier!"

The ninth and eleventh masters had already expressed their attitudes, and although the fourteenth had other thoughts in his heart, he would never show it at this time, and he also rose up, patted his chest generously, and made an oath like a curse.

"Okay, for my brother to have your younger brothers to help, this time we must take advantage of the situation, the momentum is not to be delayed, tomorrow morning I will arrange all kinds of matters first, this battle must be a big victory!"

Seeing that all the younger brothers had already expressed their loyalty, the eighth master didn't want to talk any more, so he arched his hand towards the younger brothers, and his words made a decisive decision.

"Starling don't worry, the little brothers know how to do it."

"Starling relax, the little brothers will do their best!"

"Starling, you just wait to see how well the little brothers behave."

……

After the eighth master made a decision, the brothers had to hurry up to speak out and cheer on the stage, and for a while, the attic was full of the arrogant words of the brothers.

"Well, if it's superfluous, I won't talk about it anymore, and I'll leave everything tomorrow to your younger brothers."

After everyone made a statement, the eighth master made a group again with tears in the corners of his eyes, and thanked him earnestly, and the meaning of expelling customers was unmistakably expressed in his words.

"Starling take care, the little brothers are leaving."

"Starling stays, and the younger brother takes the first step."

……

The eighth master has already said this, and the brothers are not good to stay any longer, so they each confessed a sentence and left together.

"Sir, look ......"

The eighth master didn't send it far, he just watched the younger brothers go downstairs, and when the building was empty, he turned his eyes to Lu Chunyan, who had never said a word, and tentatively asked half of the words.

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!"

Lu Chunyan was not in a hurry to speak, but after being silent for a long time, he gave a meaningful word, which immediately made the eighth master's face stiffen......
