Chapter 48: The Truth
After the transaction was completed, Master Lu looked at Xie Hong, who was in the limelight, and was extremely resentful in his heart, this kid was so lucky, the ancestral music box was sacrificed, and he found such a Qibao Linglong Pagoda. What else will come in the future? Could it be six or something? It is really ...... to take the position of Lao Tzu's master book and get so much silver
He was gritting his teeth when he suddenly heard a sigh coming from the official sedan chair, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly leaned to the window and asked, "The proprietor, is there something?" "As a staff member, his main job is to serve the owner, and answering questions and making fun are important responsibilities.
"It's fine, but I just sigh and thank the master."
"He's in the middle of a beautiful scene, what's there to sigh about?" Master Lu was surprised and hurriedly asked. He has followed Wang Zhixian for many years, so he naturally knows the surname of the owner. Wang Zhixian never paid attention to the trivial matters in the yamen, and he didn't know the doorway in it, but Master Lu knew that it was not because the owner didn't understand, but because he didn't want to, or disdainfully understood.
The proprietor is a Jinshi, and with the fame of Jinshi, he is already a member of the scholars, and his ambition is, of course, to govern the country and level the world. The trivial things are confused, but the owner knows everything about officialdom, and Master Lu hurriedly asked, on the one hand, it was funny, and on the other hand, it was also curious.
"Although the officialdom pays attention to compromise, the matter is not done by Master Xie." Wang Zhixian also did not hesitate to give his master some advice, "If he wants to compromise with the Gu family, his previous attitude should not be so stiff, so that he can still sell Lord Gu's favor." He has entered the official career, and the imperial doctor is walking in front of the emperor, and this favor is hard to guarantee that he will not be used for a day. ”
He sighed again and said: "But he has a tough attitude, he has already offended Imperial Doctor Gu to death, and then offered a high price of 30,000 taels, regardless of whether the Dong family's affairs are true or not, in this way, the feud with the Gu family has already been settled." If he is really shrewd, he should not sell the treasure to the Gu family, a young man from a private background is still unusable. ”
Master Lu was puzzled: "He sold the treasure to the face of the owner, and it can be regarded as selling favors to the owner." His position is low, even if he climbs to the imperial doctor, it is useless, as long as the adults remember him here, why worry about anything else? ”
Wang Zhixian sneered when he heard this: "Brother Lu, this official asks you, why did you and I come?" ”
"Naturally, it was at the invitation of the imperial doctor. Uh, could it be ......" Master Lu realized.
"That's it, since the official is here, he refuses to offend Lord Gu. Today, it is still like this, this Lord Gu has obtained a treasure, and he is walking in front of the palace, and now he is weak and weak, and he likes novelties the most...... Brother Lu, don't you understand? ”
"Master Gu will be promoted?"
"Whether he is promoted or not, the official doesn't know, but he will definitely be favored. When the time comes, what is Xie Hong's favor for selling his own official? Wang Zhixian felt deeply, the last time he went to the capital to offer treasures, he won the praise of Gonggong Liu, and promised that he could be promoted without saying it, and today he saw that Imperial Doctor Gu won the lottery, and he was also a little envious.
But he didn't want to fight, and the effect of even offering two pieces was not very good, and besides, he said that he should go to the imperial list, and now the imperial list has been revoked under the opposition of Liu Daxue in Beijing, and if he goes again at this time, wouldn't it be a blockage for Liu Daxue? The imperial doctor has no fame, so he can naturally go, and he doesn't want to come back as a courtier.
"Then the Hou Gu family will retaliate against Master Xie?" When it comes to enemies, Master Lu's brain begins to be flexible. "That'...... Proprietor, if Master Gu asks you to deal with Master Xie, how should we deal with it? ”
"Alas......" Wang Zhi County Magistrate sighed, only waved his hand, and said: "Brother Lu, if the Gu family is here, you just have to deal with it, this official has to practice calligraphy hard recently, and the affairs in the yamen will also be handed over to you." It's here, let's get up and go back to the ya. ”
"Under the order, the owner just needs to rest assured." Master Lu was overjoyed, the owner said this, isn't that ...... Hmph, the kid surnamed Xie, see if you're not dead this time?
……
The two of them were whispering here, and Xie Hong didn't notice that he was being watched by everyone at this moment, and by the way, he had to deal with the Gu family. Everyone has everything, and the most is to ask him about the news of the famous craftsman in Henan, of course, this so-called famous craftsman is made up by Xie Hong himself, and he can only say that the other party is traveling all over the world, and Shenlong is not seeing the tail to deal with it.
The audience was difficult, but the Gu family was easy to deal with, and after some testing, even with the shrewdness of the housekeeper and the pickiness of the imperial doctor Gu, they were all suspicious, so they just said hello hastily, asked if there were any precautions, and left. Looking at their posture, they have the intention of rushing to the capital overnight, but everything that should be done has been done, and Xie Hong doesn't care about the Gu family.
After easily dealing with the curious audience, Xie Hong originally wanted to say hello to Wang Zhixian, but found that the other party had already left, and he couldn't even see the shadow at this time. He was a little strange, but he didn't care, and turned and went into his yard.
"Congratulations, sir." As soon as he entered the door, Steward Dong greeted him with a smile on his face, but he had seen the acting skills of the fat man, even with Xie Hong's eyesight, he couldn't tell whether this person was really congratulating him.
"Steward Dong, I'm tired of you this time, do a full set of plays, and ask the housekeeper to transport the silver back to Dongjiazhuang." Xie Hong said with a smile.
"Yes." If it were a different person, and he would transport the silver to the Dong family so stupidly, Steward Dong might have crooked thoughts, but he didn't dare to Xie Hong at all. In addition to the deep impression left on him by the first meeting, as well as the respect of his master for this young man, today's events also made the fat man amazed.
Others don't know, but he is one of the insiders, because when Xie Hong made the Qibao Linglong Pagoda, he was in Dongjiazhuang. And materials and other things, the fat man also has handled, but he never thought that those ordinary bamboo and wood could make such a treasure. Thinking that this treasure was cheap for the Gu family, the fat man was a little distressed.
"My lord, this treasure is sold to the Gu family like this, it's too cheap for them, right?" At this time, there were only his own people in the yard, and there was no need to act, so the fat man asked directly: "Although before buying the treasure, the adults really embarrassed the Gu family, but in the end, they benefited!" ”
For this pagoda, the fat man is very reluctant, "If the adult wants silver, the Dong family can also get it." Besides, if this treasure is sent to the capital, it will be 50,000 or 100,000. ”
"No, Brother Xie, the Gu family didn't give in, they didn't say anything when they left, but there was a fierce light in their eyes. I was angry before, but the old horse still felt that it was wrong, what if they came to retaliate later? ”
Ma Wentao was also puzzled, did he spend so much effort just to embarrass the other party, but he was angry at the time, but this kind of revenge is too childish, right? If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, sooner or later you will have to take revenge on the appearance of the Gu family, what can you do when the time comes?
As soon as Ma Wentao agreed, the fat man forgot about the pain in his flesh, and his curiosity flourished. He is also very shrewd, and he sees Xie Hong's plan most clearly, and he is also sincerely admired.
At the beginning, he pretended to show the pagoda to the rapping Jiujie monk inadvertently, and then sent someone to follow the Gu family, knowing the other party's movements well. Then he was embarrassed, and finally reluctantly agreed, the whole plan went smoothly, and Steward Dong felt that if he was in the game, he would also be in the scheme.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lord Xie grasped the psychology of the Gu family from the beginning, and made this treasure for the surname, which is the factor that determines the surname. How could such a grasp of people's hearts reveal such a big flaw in the end? Is it really just childish revenge?
Regarding the doubts of the two, Xie Hong just smiled, he has been a human being in two lives, although his mentality is still very young, he is also a young man in his twenties, of course he will not do childish things. The reason why he is anticlimactic is naturally because he still has a backhand.
The plan has been completed, and he no longer hides it, and explains it to the two in detail. From the plan to the operation, one by one. These are all formulated by him based on the information obtained in later generations, of course, these are not told to the two of them, he just explains the purpose of each step.
“…… The ultimate goal is to let him buy the pagoda. Xie Hong concluded.
"The purpose in the first place was to let him buy the pagoda?" Steward Dong was dumbfounded, what kind of revenge is this, isn't this intended to let the family take advantage of it from the beginning?
"Is there anything else going on here?" Ma Wentao also began to worship blindly, not in a hurry to question, but to think about whether there was anything he didn't expect.
"Brother Xiaohong, should we continue to keep an eye on the Gu family, and then grab the things back when they are on the road, so that they will have no money?" Erniu also came over, and the suggestions he put forward were also in line with his surname.
Xie Hong Khan, brother is a craftsman, not a robber, how can he do such a tasteless thing? However, the result of what Er Niu said was not bad, and the purpose of making the Gu family empty of money was indeed true.
"Actually, this plan doesn't have to make the Gu family suffer a big loss." Xie Hong explained: "Originally, I thought about venting my evil anger, and then, if that imperial doctor repented and apologized, I wouldn't be too bothered. But looking at his appearance later, it was really unbearable. He is shameless, Brother Ma, you know, I have never been a person who can suffer losses. ”
Ma Wentao nodded and said yes, how could Brother Xie, who can play with the history of the dignified classics under his feet, be a good-tempered person?
"So......" In the surprised eyes of several people, Xie Hong spread out his right hand that had been clenching.
In the palm of his hand is a small cylindrical object, looking at the color, it is very similar to the material of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and there is a very thin transparent silk thread tied on it, and I don't know what it is for.
