After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Xiao Yungui finally stood still, looked back at Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin, and said, "You should also remember that this king once told you that some people in this city will eventually fall, and someone will take their place. Now that the opportunity has arisen, I hope that both of you will follow the trend and join our kingdom of heaven. But what the king of the east means is to let the two of you donate all the money and food in your family to the holy treasury, and you can be like the king of the north and the king of the wings in the kingdom of heaven, and you can be crowned a marquis! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were shocked, Zhu Changlin opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, and slowly knelt down and muttered: "Lord Xi, Lord West, please raise your noble hand, you can't do this, you and we didn't say that at the beginning......"

Wei Helin blushed and said angrily: "Brother Yutian, hurry up, what else are you asking him to do?" They just want to confiscate all our family wealth, and they are no different from ordinary bandits! Let's go, let's go, the big deal is to scatter all the family wealth, what do you ask him to do?! ”

Saying that, Wei Helin pulled up Zhu Changlin, whose face was like ashes, and was about to leave, Zhu Changlin sighed in his mouth: "Sure enough, it's retribution, retribution, I, Zhu Changlin, started by making a fortune as a refugee, and I still have nothing in the end, it's really unpleasant to retribution, hahaha......

Zhu Changlin laughed sadly, his voice was full of sadness, Xiao Yungui suddenly said in a deep voice: "That's what Dongwang meant, I only ask you two sentences now, do you still believe me?!" Saying that, Xiao Yungui looked at the two of them fiercely.

Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were slightly stunned, and they didn't know what Xiao Yungui meant when they looked at each other, only to see Xiao Yungui take out two pieces of paper from his arms, and said slowly: "These two are the arrears written to me by the two of you when you paid the donation, and they have your signatures on them." ”

The two of them saw that it was indeed the IOU written that day, and then Xiao Yungui slowly tore up the paper contract a few times, and said: "These two IOUs are invalid, you don't owe this king anything, but at the moment, the edict of the king of the east cannot be violated, if you don't obey it, it is difficult to guarantee that you two will not suffer from the disaster of raiding your home." I've got a new contract here, so you can take a look at it. After speaking, Xiao Yungui took out two more contracts and handed them over.

The two of them took a glance and looked at the ten lines, and after reading it in a hurry, both of them looked at each other in surprise, and then turned their heads to look at Xiao Yungui.

"I know that it is painful to peel off the skin and bones to disperse the hard-earned money, but just like Boss Zhu himself said, in the past, your method of making money was hurtful to heaven, even if this trip is God's punishment for you, this king advises you to donate all the ill-gotten money and food according to the will of the king of the east to solve the urgent need." Xiao Yungui said slowly: "Next, this king will lead his troops to go on an expedition, and when the time comes, this king will allocate money from the money and grain obtained to hand over to the two of you to do business. ”

Wei Helin smiled bitterly: "King Xi, King Xi, you really eat people without spitting out bones, and you will tie the two of us firmly to your boat in just a few words, and make me two willing to earn money for you with just a contract, you are really calculating." ”

Xiao Yungui quietly walked back to the main seat and sat down, took a sip of the teacup and said lightly: "The two of you made your fortune by relying on the grain in the disaster year, if you two are not ashamed, why have you been charitable after making a fortune?" Isn't it to feel better? At present, this king's contract may seem to you to have no guarantee, but this king has always kept his promise, and what he promised will definitely be done, and he will do it very well. On the same day, the owe you wrote to the king of this king was also destroyed, we do not owe each other, originally according to the owe note, even if you lose all your net worth, this king destroyed it is to show the sincerity of the cooperation between the king and the two, if you don't agree to the king, it doesn't matter, the king has no loss, the two of you please go back, and later there will be people from the east hall to talk to the two. ”

Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin looked at each other, and Zhu Changlin said with a sad face: "King Xi, are we considered thieves in this way?" ”

Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "Old Zhu, do you want to be a demon if you don't follow the thief now?" There are no eggs under the nest, after the city of Changsha is broken, even if the demon can come back one day, you will be able to stay alone? The methods of the Qing Demon to rectify you are much more fierce than ours, and you will not still fantasize about the Qing Demon coming back at this time. Then Xiao Yungui got up and comforted him gently: "Lao Zhu, Lao Wei, you are not the official of the Qing Demon, in the eyes of the Qing Demon, you are nothing more than a grass people with a little money, if they really come back, they will indiscriminately deduct you from the crime of being a thief, it is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and you will regret it at that time." Besides, our Heavenly Kingdom is doing the great thing of reviving the Han family, if the world is determined in the future, you will not be a thief, but a dragon. ”

Many years later, Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin often talked to people about why they joined the kingdom of heaven that day, and the two always said that they were moved by threats and temptations, but they made the right bet.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Changlin suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "King Xi, since this is the case, I, Zhu Changlin, will sign the pledge, but the contract must state that I am going to work under your King Xi, and I don't want to follow any other prince." ”

Xiao Yungui was overjoyed, and said slowly on his face: "This is natural, including your subordinates and family members will enter my West Palace to do business, you can rest assured, this king will definitely ask for a big official in the West Palace for you, if this king can't do this, he will also sign a contract with Laoshizi." ”

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Changlin first trembled and signed the contract, followed by Wei Helin who also signed the contract, both of them seemed to be half old, and Xiao Yungui, who successfully kidnapped the two, also signed the contract.

Sending the two away, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, the curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and Hong Yun'er's soft voice floated over: "What an empty glove white wolf, your trick is really enough, not only solved the matter that the East King handed over to you, but also deceived the two of you into getting on your thief ship, and sure enough, you sold people and asked others to count the money for you." ”

Xiao Yungui put away the contract, frowned and looked at Hong Yun'er and said, "Don't say it so ugly, don't you agree with this matter?" ”

Hong Yun'er pouted and said, "I'm not as dark as you, what the Holy Treasury wants is their family wealth, but I didn't say that I must tie people up on the boat." ”

Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "Since the East King has given me a problem, then I have to even eliminate it, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable to be led by his nose." ”

Hong Yun'er said curiously: "By the way, haven't you already asked for the official photo of the East King for the two of you?" Why not give them to? ”

Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said: "Four-eyed sister, you are really lacking in heart, if you take out the official photo now, wouldn't you tell the two of you that I, Xiao Yungui, have the heart to calculate them?" After a few days, their money will be donated, and I will give them official photos again, they are all my West Hall Boshu, and the official position is not small. ”

Hong Yun'er glanced at him and said: "You have a lot of twists and turns, but you also have miscalculations, you didn't expect that the city seems to be calm, but in fact, many big and wealthy businessmen are plotting." ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and muttered: "That's right, I really didn't expect it, it was still Yang Xiuqing's old and spicy, as soon as he came up, he raided He Yuan's house first without asking questions, and all kinds of incriminating evidence were obtained, it seems that he thought early on that the rich businessmen in the city would not just give in, and he did do the king of the east." ”

Hong Yun'er sighed: "Maybe we all think too simply, rebellion is not a dinner party, it is not so easy to make vested interests give up interests, our rebellion now is to break the old order, reshuffle the cards, redistribute interests, we are making enemies with the whole old shijie, I, can we succeed?" ”

Xiao Yungui was silent for a while before saying: "Since we have already boarded the thief ship, we can only continue to walk, in fact, there are still many wall-riding factions like Zhu Changlin, they actually only think about themselves in their hearts, whether it is us or the Qing court, as long as anyone can give them benefits, they will lean to which side, not to mention that the vested interests you said are also a minority after all, most of them are still poor ghosts and mud legs, I am still confident that we can succeed." At this point, he paused and said, "But only if we can call the shots......"

The two didn't discuss this issue too much, because the family banquet had already begun, and Xiao Chaofu, who came to urge, interrupted the conversation between the two.

Back at the family banquet, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er naturally tried their best to play their respective roles, which surprised the Xiao, Huang, and Jiang families, because they had never experienced such a kind hospitality from the Xiwang couple. Especially the Huang family, Huang Weizheng listened to Xiao Yungui's compliments tremblingly, and thought that he was talking back, but looking at the sincerity on Xiao Yungui's face, it seemed that he was a little uncertain.

During the banquet, Xiao Yungui announced that he had asked the king of the east for an edict, and they all had a small errand for the men of the three families in the west hall, and the daily expenses of the three families were also borne by the west hall, and there was no need to rely on the two Sima Shengku to allocate it, which was regarded as a reassuring pill for the three families, and the relationship that was very stiff in the past began to loosen from this day. Although the people of the Huang family and Xiao Chaolong still have some lingering palpitations, Xiao Yungui feels that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the ice-breaking journey is naturally impossible to achieve overnight.

Xiao Youhe seems to be very afraid of Xiao Yungui, and prefers to stick to Hong Yun'er, and Xiao Yungui also has a clean ear.

After the meal, Xiao Yungui chatted with Huang Weizheng, Huang Shengtong, and Huang Yuxiu until late, talking about the current military and political affairs. And the Huang father and son are scholars after all, or have some unique opinions, for the East King to let the West Hall soldiers and horses slaughter the flag people, the Huang father and son are strongly opposed, according to them, this kind of slaughter must not be done, even if it must be done, it must be avoided by the beginning, and the people of the West Hall cannot be allowed to do it, otherwise the reputation will be bad as soon as the reputation stinks, and the West Hall soldiers and horses will not be able to wash away the reputation of murderous thieves wherever they go in the future.

Xiao Yungui has also been worrying about this matter, but speaking of which, the Huang father and son have no haode plan, so that Xiao Yungui thought of Zuo Zongtang, if this old boy was by his side, how good it would be, he would definitely have a good way.

It was getting late, and the Huang father and son also said goodbye and returned to the house, even if they lived in the governor's yamen, several families still strictly followed the Taiping Army's male and female battalion system, the men lived in the front yard wings, and the female dependents lived in the backyard, among which there were male and female brand swordsmen guarding, Xiao Yungui didn't want to make any mess and be grabbed by pigtails during the extraordinary period.

The door creaked open, Hong Yun'er returned to the house, Xiao Yungui suddenly remembered that now the three families are living in the governor's yamen, if he is still driven out to live in the barracks, it seems too unreasonable, and he salivated and smiled: "Yun'er, there are so many people watching in this courtyard, if I go out again, wouldn't it be very shameful to lose the face of King Xi?" Just let me stay for one night. ”

Hong Yun'er thought for a while with a gloomy face, and finally nodded with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "You wait for a while, I'll come when I go and prepare." ”

Although Xiao Yungui didn't know what Hong Yun'er was going to prepare, he immediately walked excitedly to the bed behind the screen, took off his boots and got into Hong Yun'er's incense tent, and made up his mind that if the four-eyed sister wanted to regret it later, he would not get out of bed and see what she would do.

After a while, Xiao Yungui's enthusiasm was extinguished, Hong Yun'er actually went to pick up Xiao You and this bastard boy and said to sleep together, Xiao Yungui immediately lost any interest. He had to go out of the house to inspect the barracks with the guards again, and scolded Xiao You and this kid in his heart as he went.
