Chapter 55: Muddy the Waters

Ye Xiaotian has been circling between Liangyue Valley, Yujiazhai, Zhanjiazhai, and Yangjiabao these days, except for brushing a little sense of storage and becoming familiar, but there is no progress in resolving the dispute over Mercury Mountain.

The matter is concerned about personal interests, and each family can have a certain basis, and there is no way to let anyone let go. This kind of "unclear property rights" caused by historical reasons is difficult to distinguish clearly, and Ye Xiaotian has no choice but to focus on the two brothers, Yang Xianda and Yang Xianmin.

Ye Xiaotian explained the benefits and disadvantages to his two brothers, and bitterly persuaded him and the brothers to stop and not give outsiders a chance to take advantage of. But for the Yang brothers, Mercury Mountain is also an absolute interest that they can't give up, how can they agree to Ye Xiaotian's mediation.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and although the imperial court has never been able to establish a strong rule in Guizhou, the influence of the imperial court is inevitably expanding.

The cities in Guizhou, which were located on the main transportation routes, were still ruled by Tusi, and the local people gradually broadened their horizons, and with the influx of Han people from other places, the original ruling class was gradually losing its absolute dominance compared to the past.

In this way, the fully controllable territory of the Tusi is gradually shrinking, and the Mercury Mountain, which was not indispensable in the territory of the Yang family, is much more important than it was back then, and whoever can master the Mercury Mountain of the two Yang brothers will have the largest source of wealth of the Yang family.

This mine not only produces dansha, which can be exchanged for a large amount of wealth, but also needs miners to open a mine, which provides an opportunity for others to make money and work, so who masters this mine is equivalent to mastering the hearts and minds of the vast majority of the people in Yangjiabao.

On this day, Ye Xiaotian went to Yangjiabao to mediate again, but no progress was made, but the two brothers of the Yang family escalated from a dispute of words to a big fight. In the end, Yang Xianmin's mother, Mrs. Yang Family's Palm Print, was alarmed, and the two stopped stupidly.

Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to leave in a hurry, but before he returned to Yujiazhai, Jiugao came in a hurry.

"Let him come!"

Ye Xiaotian saw Jiugao who was stopped by the guards, and recognized it as Zhan Ning'er's cronies and guards, so he waved his hand and asked them to let them go. Jiu Gao walked up to Ye Xiaotian and arched his hand to him: "Lord Ye, my young lady asked me to give you a word." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "What did Ning'er say?" ”

Jiu Gao said: "My young lady said that my family mainly married her to the Liangyue Gu Guoji family. in exchange for the support of the Guoji family. ”

Ye Xiaotian was taken aback and said, "How can this be?" ”

Jiu Gao said: "My young lady can't beat the head of the family, so I can only ask Lord Ye to find a way." Please come up with an idea, otherwise my young lady will have to marry Liangyue Valley. ”

"Huh?"

"The villain has to rush back to the fort, Lord Ye, farewell!"

Ye Xiaotian watched Jiugao come and go in a daze, and he was puzzled in his heart: "How can this be, what does the Zhan family want to do?" In order to help the Yang family, even his daughter's life is willing to take it out? These toast people are really unreasonable. ”

Ye Xiaotian walked around in place for a long time. His face was cloudy, he suddenly stomped his feet heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "The dead old man surnamed Zhan, you are forcing me!" Yes! You are unkind. I'm unrighteous, look at which of us is blacker! Walk! Go back to Yangjiabao! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhan Boxiong smiled and said to Guoji Toast: "Guoji Toast, then let's just say it!" ”

Goki Toast was as tall and strong as his son Gelong, but he was much older. His gray hair looks like an old lion, and his hair is not tied up. A wild and uninhibited look.

Guoji Toast said boldly: "Okay! Deal! My Guoji family and your Zhan family were originally very friendly, but recently it was only because of the Yang family's affairs that I hurt the harmony, this time our two families got married, and the Yang family's affairs could be resolved peacefully. ”

Zhan Boxiong smiled: "How can it be, Zhan is entangled in mundane affairs, and he has to rush back to the fort." That's it, please send someone to hire Guoji Toast as soon as possible, and we will be a family from now on! ”

The reason why Guoji Tusi helped Yang Xianmin was not only because Yang Xianmin's mother was his sister, but more importantly, for the interests of the Guoji family themselves, the Yang Jiabao who was close at hand was inclined to the Guoji family, which was naturally beneficial to the Guoji family.

But now that you are marrying a more powerful exhibitor, do you still need to consider the gains and losses? Moreover, the Zhan family and the Guoji family are married, even if they turn to Yang Xianda's side, Yang Xianda, who is under the double protection of the Zhan family and the Guoji family, will not alienate the Guoji family, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

Zhan Boxiong's goal has been achieved, and he happily said goodbye, Zhan Boxiong said to the big housekeeper excitedly: "Gelong, call him to call me, Lao Tzu told him a good family business, haha!" ”

After a while, Guoji Gelong hurried to the hall with a burden on his back and a knife on his shoulder. Going far away? ”

Guoji Gelong Top Gun said: "My son is going to the Central Plains to find a famous teacher and learn martial arts, at least three years and five years, and at most ten years and eight years, and he will definitely come back!" ”

Guoji Toast blew his beard and glared: "Fart!" What kind of martial arts to learn, you have to go, first give you Lao Tzu a few grandchildren to come out, Lao Tzu just told you a family, you first marry a daughter-in-law and have children. ”

Guoji Gelong was stunned for a moment and said, "Why didn't my father discuss it with me, he agreed on the marriage with others, I don't want it." ”

Guoji Tusi said angrily: "Marriage is a big event, you don't want it, don't you want it?" Lao Tzu has already discussed with Zhan Tusi, choose a day to get married, marry the girl Ning'er, put down your burden, and honestly wait to be the groom. ”

Guoji Gelong was stunned again, and said in disbelief: "Dad, who do you say?" Let me marry Zhan Ning'er? ”

Guoji Toast looked at him and said, "What? I heard Zhan Tusi say, his niece is very handsome, even if she is not handsome, as a member of the Zhan family, it is enough to be your palm print lady, if you don't like it, just marry a few more ladies, anyway, you must marry this daughter-in-law for me! ”

Gokigron laughed loudly, threw his burden into the air, and cheered, "Good! I'm not leaving, hahaha! Dad, you remember, when you get hired. My son wants to go to Zhan's house in person, hahaha......"

Gokigron laughed and went out, raising his eyebrows and puffing up! You rob my woman, I'll sleep with your woman! He couldn't wait to marry Zhan Ning'er now, and saw Ye Xiaotian's sad, jealous, and painful expression with his own eyes.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yang Xianda had a big fight with his brother, and he didn't want Mrs. Palm Print to come out, so he scolded him for a while, although Mrs. Palm Print was not his biological mother, but after all, she was the one who raised him, and Yang Xianda couldn't be disobedient. I had to swallow my anger and go back to sulk.

At this time, someone reported: "Tusi, Ye Xiancheng is here again." ”

Yang Xianda was deeply surprised, why did Ye Xiaotian come again? Hurriedly tidying up his clothes and welcoming him to the living room, he saw Ye Xiaotian pacing around in the hall, Yang Xianda arched his hand to Ye Xiaotian, and before he could speak, Ye Xiaotian had already rushed over with an arrow, grabbed his arm and said, "Yang Tusi, disaster is coming!" ”

Yang Xianda was taken aback. Hurriedly asked, "Lord Ye, what's the trouble?" ”

Ye Xiaotian whispered a few words to him, and Yang Xianda exclaimed: "Really? Zhan Tusi wants to marry his daughter to the Guoji family? How so, Zhanjia...... Are you going to abandon me? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Abandonment is not counted. It's just that why the exhibitor wants to help you, you should also understand. If it is not good for the exhibitor, will the exhibitor be so selfless to help you? After all, the former kinship has been a long time ago, and now the Zhan family and the Guoji family are married. So who is in power in your Yang family, does it make a difference to them? From the perspective of the interests of the exhibition family, it is not surprising that Zhan Tusi has this intention. ”

Yang Xianda was shocked and angry: "How can the Zhan family be so treacherous! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yang Toast, you are still a toast." What's the point of saying such useless words, if it were you, it would damage your Yang Jiabao's interests for the sake of an already weak kinship? ”

Yang Xianda said hesitantly: "This ......"

Ye Xiaotian turned around and said: "Yang Tusi, once Yang Xianmin gets the help of the Zhan family and the Guoji family, not only will you lose the mercury mountain, I'm afraid that this Tusi position will not be stable." ”

Yang Xianda sat down on the chair with a butt and said with a pale face: "This ...... How good is that? ”

Ye Xiaotian said leisurely: "I have a plan to solve the dilemma of Toast." ”

Yang Xianda grabbed Ye Xiaotian and said impatiently: "What do you think Lord Ye has, please tell me quickly." ”

Ye Xiaotian whispered to Yang Xianda, and Yang Xianda said strangely: "Let my daughter marry the Guoji family?" In this ......, isn't the Guoji family about to marry the Zhan family? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "It's originally a fight for relationship, fight for help, you not only have to marry the Guoji family, but also send the mercury mountain as a dowry, of course, you can put forward conditions to the Guoji family, ask them to take the ripe field in front of the mountain as a dowry, in this way, you lose the trouble and go out, and have a field to explain to the clansmen, although there is a slight loss, but you can keep your position as the toast." ”

Yang Xianda said hesitantly: "Ge Long just said goodbye to the Zhan family, can he marry two ladies at the same time?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yang Tusi, you are confused, who said that I want you to marry your daughter to Guoji Gelong, I want you to marry your daughter to Gelong's father, Guoji Tusi." ”

Yang Xianda suddenly realized, Ye Xiaotian said: "The current situation of the Guoji family is not as good as it was back then, do you think he is willing to marry you for that mine?" When the time comes, you and Brother Ling Yang Xianda will be in a situation of equal proportions, and you have a righteous name in hand, who do you say will have a greater chance of winning? ”

Yang Xianda's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly said nervously: "Aren't the Guoji family afraid that the marriage with the Zhan family will be ruined because of this?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "No matter what the Zhan family does, can this mine be returned to the Zhan family?" No, the Zhan family just wants to expand their influence here, you marry your relatives, the Zhan family and the Zhan family's relatives have become relatives with the Guoji family, and besides, you are close to the Zhan family, and now you haven't torn your face, the Zhan family wishes you were in power in the Yang family, as for the Guoji family, of course, there are no worries. ”

Yang Xianda nodded frequently and said happily: "Good idea!" This time you can solve the siege! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Toast is wise!" So, you just have to pretend that you don't know about the marriage and alliance between the Zhan family and the Guoji family, and go to Liangyue Valley to propose marriage. ”

Yang Xianda high-fived and said, "Okay! I'll prepare a gift and go to Liangyue Valley early tomorrow morning to worship the mountain! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yang Tusi really made a decision immediately, go to Liangyue Valley tomorrow, it's best to stop the drums, don't cause your brother to be alert." ”

Yang Xianda bowed his head and said, "I can save it." ”

Ye Xiaotian's flickering words Yang Xianda was dizzy, and then he gave his hand, and when he walked out of the gate of Yangjiabao, there was a small head man walking towards him, Ye Xiaotian remembered that when he mediated the dispute between the two Yang brothers, this little head man was on Yang Xianmin's side, and immediately coughed lightly, slightly sideways his cheek.

But the little man had seen his appearance, and looked wary of his departure. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly walked out of Yangjia Fort, stood in front of the fort and looked up, and saw that it was still early, so he said: "Let's go, let's go to Liangyue Valley again!" ”

: At the beginning of the month, I sincerely ask you for a guaranteed monthly pass!.
