Chapter 526: Master and Apprentice Plans
The candles suddenly smoked, and the shaking fire lit up the figures, and the good living room was ghostly. Wu Tiancheng knelt on the ground, his heart was furious, it was the first time in so many years that he had encountered his master so angry. Tang Yi didn't even want to say a word, he was silent and depressed, as if a dark cloud was shining overhead, making people suffocate and crazy.
Horizontal and vertical is a death, what can be done! Wu Tiancheng knelt and climbed a few steps.
"Master, the disciple didn't mean to hide it from the master, but he just ...... It's just ......" Wu Tiancheng couldn't find a reason, so he could only lie on the ground, "Please punish Master!" β
Tang Yi glanced at him, and suddenly chuckled, "Wu Tiancheng, we've known each other for ten years, right?" At the beginning, I joked for a while, and accepted you as an apprentice, and over the years, your status has become higher and higher, and it is inevitably a little inappropriate to continue to be my apprentice, do you see if it is ......?"
Wu Tiancheng secretly raised his head and saw Tang Yi's sharp gaze, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body trembled.
This is to abolish the title of master and apprentice! Wu Tiancheng lay on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and wept bitterly: "One day as a teacher and a father for life, the disciple can have today, it all depends on the master's cultivation, if the master wants to drive away the disciple, the disciple, the disciple can only die with a clear will!" β
As he spoke, he actually pulled out a dagger from his cuff, showed it up, and ran to his neck!
You're still here for real!
Tang Yi was startled and almost burst into foul language.
Hurriedly stretched out his foot, kicked Wu Tiancheng's wrist violently, and kicked the dagger away. It's just that the movement is still slow, and the dagger cuts a cut more than an inch long on the neck, and the blood flows down instantly.
Tang Yi was so angry that his face turned blue, "Rebel, the more you live, the more you go back, and you also learn to find a short time, crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself." Your daughter-in-law taught it, it's really upside down! Tang Yi was so angry that he turned around on the ground a few times, and there was just a feather duster in the corner of the wall, he grabbed it, and he was about to do it.
Seeing Tang Yi go crazy, Wu Tiancheng suddenly grinned. It touched the wound on his neck, and the pain made him grin at the bared teeth.
"You still dare to laugh at Master, do you think I don't dare to fight?"
Wu Tiancheng hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare to laugh at the master, the disciple is happy, the master, you still recognize the disciple, and you still feel sorry for the disciple, the disciple's heart is hot!" Even if you die, it's worth it! β
Wu Tiancheng smiled innocently, Tang Yi's raised hand couldn't fall anymore. The human heart is made of flesh.
In these years, he took the imperial examination. As an official in the north and south, his status is getting higher and higher, and his power is also increasing. As for Wu Tiancheng, he has always stayed in the traffic line, single-mindedly, staring at himself, how much hard work he has paid, and how much hard work he has put in.
Less than forty people. There is already gray hair on the sideburns, can there be no feelings!
Look at him like this. Tang Yi felt uncomfortable in his heart, raised his eyebrows, reached out and took out the medicine bottle, and threw it to Wu Tiancheng.
"Wash the wound and apply some medicine."
"Alas!" Wu Tiancheng nodded hurriedly, in fact, the wound was not deep. The blood was no longer flowing, he hastily wiped it, applied ointment, and felt cool and comfortable.
Tang Yi walked to the wall at this time. I picked up the dagger and looked at it, it seemed to look familiar.
"Looks like I captured it from the Japanese back then, right?"
"That's right!" Wu Tiancheng hurriedly said: "When the sandbank was victorious, the master picked it by his hand, and the disciple has taken it with him all these years!" β
Tang Yi swept the dagger, and suddenly became angry, "What do you mean, take the dagger I gave you, run to me and commit suicide, who do you want to show it to?" β
Wu Tiancheng was speechless for a while, to be honest, he didn't know why he took out the dagger like crazy just now. If it weren't for Tang Yi's kick, maybe it would have really been stuck in the neck, and even if he didn't die, he would have been injured.
When did he become so impulsive, Master is such a kind person, he promoted himself, gave himself glory and wealth, and he was loyal to Master, why did he get to the point of dying or living?
Wu Tiancheng suddenly felt that he was very inexplicable and wanted to slap two mouths!
He stood stunned, his facial features shrunk into buns, he just couldn't figure it out. On the contrary, it was Tang Yi who suddenly woke up.
Unconsciously, he is already a four-grade official, a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and Wu Tiancheng is just a steward of the traffic line, in front of others, he has pride and conceit. But in front of him, he had nothing.
He put on a face for him, but he just wanted to beat him, but in his opinion, the sky was falling, the sun and the moon were gone, and there was no other choice but to die.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi also wanted to slap his two mouths, with his own identity, he had to consider everything, the Son of Heaven was angry, and he bled millions. Being angry with yourself, even if it's fake, some people can't bear it.
"Tiancheng, we are called master and apprentice, in fact, we are friends, no matter how high my position is, it will not change, never." Tang Yi said and sat next to Wu Tiancheng.
Tears flowed down from the corners of Wu Tiancheng's eyes.
"Master, the disciple has caused you trouble, I'm sorry for your cultivation."
"What are you crying about!" Tang Yi chuckled and said, "I don't blame you. β
"Then ......" Wu Tiancheng was puzzled, the whole thing was blind, don't blame me, why are you putting on a face?
Why don't you practice my acting skills?
Master, let's not bring such a whole person! Wu Tiancheng's whole person is not good.
"I don't blame you, just because you did the right thing!" Tang Yi finally sank his face, "You tell me the truth, how much salt have you mixed with Lianghuai?" If there is a word false, I will expel you from the division immediately! β
"Disciple doesn't dare!"
Wu Tiancheng hurriedly confessed to Tang Yi, after listening, Tang Yi's eyebrows were raised, and without saying a word, he directly picked up the feather duster, chased Wu Tiancheng all over the house, and made chicken feathers all over the ground.
Tang Yi initially just thought that the traffic line was fanning the flames and raising the price of salt. But when I asked, I realized that Wu Tiancheng had done much more than he thought.
For example, when Yan Maoqing had just gone south, someone went to give him advice and help collect money. That person was arranged by Wu Tiancheng.
Then he wrote a book and redrew the salt area, which was also the idea of that person.
It was Wu Tiancheng who instigated salt merchants and wealthy stove households to make trouble.
Raise prices and create panic, or Wu Tiancheng!
β¦β¦
After listening, Tang Yi almost fainted.
"Traitor, I have to expel you from the sect! Keep you and get me in sooner or later! β
Wu Tiancheng was hit on the forehead, red and swollen, embarrassed, and gasped and explained: "Master, you don't have to worry, the disciple is careful to ensure that he will not be caught." β
"Phew, you just dream!"
Tang Yi was so angry that he threw away the feather duster and sat down on the chair dejectedly, panting.
"Stupid, you come over to me."
Wu Tiancheng trembled and came to Tang Yi.
"Stand aside, when I see your face, I want to kill!"
What's wrong, Wu Tiancheng almost cried, "Master, what did the disciple do wrong, you always make it clear?" β
"What's wrong? From start to finish, you're not right! Tang Yi was angry, raised his octave and said, "Who asked you to plot against Yan Maoqing?" Who asked you to set him up? β
Wu Tiancheng was dumbfounded when asked, and lowered his head, of course he was not full of food, when Yan Maoqing went south and Tang Yi had a grudge, Wu Tiancheng saw it in his eyes.
As a disciple, how can you not be angry for the teacher.
A few years ago, Yan Maoqing was ordered to go south to patrol the salt, and Wu Tiancheng thought about it, so he just dug a pit for him and put Yan Maoqing to death. One is to avenge the master, and the other is to take the opportunity to meddle in the two Huai. Because he wanted to avenge Tang Yi, he hid it, wanting to wait for it to be done, and then repay the teacher for his merits, who knew that Tang Yi would be angry like this, Wu Tiancheng was at a loss and restless.
"That's it, I'll let you understand!"
Tang Yi let Wu Tiancheng sit on the opposite side and sighed: "The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is that it can't see the light. Do you think that if you provoke a conflict between Yan Maoqing and the big salt merchants, they will obediently listen to you and kill you in the dark, and you will live or die? Let you take advantage of the fire. β
"Naive, naΓ―ve, ignorant, stupid!" Tang Yi unceremoniously gave him four evaluations, "Take a long-term view and think more with your brain!" Is Yan Maoqing a person who wants to reform the salt policy? He asked for silver. Are those big salt merchants and wealthy stove households-for-tat? β
Tang Yi asked questions continuously, and Wu Tiancheng was at a loss.
"You just have fun, this time I went south to be a messenger, if I change to someone else, the sky will fall!" Tang Yi said: "Are you not convinced, if Qin Cha arrests the stove households who are leading the trouble, forces the remaining stove households to resume work, and forcefully suppresses the price of salt, what will be the consequences?" Can those wealthy stove households withstand the pressure? β
"Or, if Qin Cha changes his tune and plays to maintain the old salt method, will Yan Maoqing die? Will those giants hold on? β
Wu Tiancheng is not stupid, in fact, he can run rampant in the mall, and his brain is definitely top-notch. Soon they understood what Tang Yi meant.
In fact, all parties involved in the chaos of the two Huai are not strong-willed people. First of all, Yan Maoqing needless to say, secondly, the big salt merchants and wealthy stove households, they all have big businesses, and after fighting, the most likely thing is to compromise and retreat.
Once they relented and reconciled with each other, as soon as the tide receded, it became clear at a glance whether they were wearing pants or not, and the conspiracy was nowhere to hide.
"At that time, the traffic line will be the main culprit in the disruption of the salt administration, not to mention you, even I may not be able to get out of it. Do you know? β
Wu Tiancheng was finally scared, even more frightened than Tang Yi was going to be expelled from the division. Could it be that your wishful thinking is wrong?
Holding his head in both hands, he wanted to put his head between his legs and bury it in the cracks of the ground, lamenting: "It's over, it's over, the disciple has made a big mistake!" "No need to scream, there is a teacher." Tang Yi showed a confident smile, "Although your game is not good, it is still useful, don't worry, I won't give them a chance to compromise, I will force them to fight to the death, and then we will fish in troubled waters and catch a big one!" β
Wu Tiancheng was relieved and said excitedly: "I know that the master is the most capable, by the way, what are we going to do now?" β
"Take you out first, only if you are invincible, can you kill the enemy and win, and reduce the price of salt as quickly as possible, there must be no civil uprising." Tang Yi said thoughtfully. (To be continued.) )
