Chapter 273: Talk
Flying with wings, is the name of these two chic restaurants, located on both sides of the river, looking from afar, the roof of the building resembles a sacred bird, which makes people yearn for it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the day of the opening, there were very few people to congratulate, and because Duan Pingsheng didn't want to make this matter known to everyone, he only invited a few people, after all, the main purpose of choosing this day was to reach a consensus with the two important people in Xicheng to integrate Lu Sansi's old department and use it for Duan Pingsheng, so it was even more impossible to make a big splash.
However, this does not mean that there will be a crowd on the day the restaurant opens, in fact, many Youzhou magnates still gave a gift, and when Duan Pingsheng arrived, the building was already overcrowded.
The three hundred border soldiers who had recovered slightly from their injuries were called by Duan Pingsheng and became the first customers of Biyi Qifeilou.
After getting out of the carriage, the shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately bowed down and invited Duan Pingsheng into the door, but after a few steps, Cao An, the guard of Xicheng, appeared with a worried look. Guo Mu noticed that Cao An was in trouble, so he did not continue to follow Duan Pingsheng, and the shopkeeper also gently retired and continued to complete his work.
The Xicheng guard led the way and led Duan Pingsheng to the private room upstairs, but before entering the door, Cao An whispered to Duan Pingsheng with a somewhat restless expression: "Lord Wang, the situation may have changed a little. ”
Oh?
Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to the earth, this king doesn't believe that there will be any moths." ”
After speaking, Duan Pingsheng pushed the door directly and entered, causing Cao An to open his mouth, so he had to bury his head and follow in, and saw Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan, who were already seated, two dignitaries in Xicheng who held authority.
Let's talk about Ma Tianyuan first, this person is the number one henchman under Lu Sansi, and the second link in the chain of his party's interests, holding financial power. According to Cao An's words, this person's kung fu in making fake accounts is first-class, many entries on Xicheng's books seem to be no problem, but in fact, they imply all kinds of deficits, as Gu Hao, who is the assassin of Youzhou, the reason why he has always been reluctant is that he is afraid of the identity of Lu Sansihuang's relatives, and secondly, his accounts are extremely clean.
As for Dou Pingnan, he is in charge of all the household registrations in Xicheng, strictly speaking, this person did not absolutely take refuge under Lu Sansi, but because of his unique talent that is almost unforgettable, he has become an indispensable figure in the interest chain of Lu Sansi's party.
In general, these two are extremely shrewd characters, Ma Tianyuan has a gloomy face, his eyes are shining, his emaciated figure sits down steadily, and his eyes are staring at Duan Pingsheng's face with fierce eyes. In comparison, Dou Pingnan's posture is richer, his belly is round, and his sitting posture is more calm, unlike Ma Tianyuan, he did not look at Duan Pingsheng, but carefully played with the wine glass in his hand, as if the celadon cup was engraved with flowers.
Cao An saw that the scene was a little bad, so he stood in the middle, raised his hand to signal Duan Pingsheng, and introduced to the two: "Master Ma, Lord Dou, presumably both of them have seen the appearance of King Wuyou, right?" ”
Ma Tianyuan snorted coldly, while Dou Pingnan smiled and nodded.
Cao An frowned, feeling that Ma Tianyuan was really a little faceless, but he completely ignored Cao An's side eyes and just stared at Duan Pingsheng.
In his opinion, if Duan Pingsheng hadn't forcibly taken away the Wind Drunken Moon Tower first, and then slaughtered the Viper Gang, their interest group would not have completely collapsed so quickly, and Ma Tianyuan suspected that it was because Lu Sansi had read some of the remarks on the account book that he decided to leave him behind, and rushed to Songzhou to take office alone with his family.
Therefore, Ma Tianyuan was very hostile to Duan Pingsheng, if it weren't for Cao An's jade pendant showing Lu Sansi, he wouldn't want to come to the banquet.
On the other hand, Dou Pingnan, although he did not show obvious hostility, both Duan Pingsheng and Cao An felt that if they wanted to do this job, it would definitely be more difficult than Ma Tianyuan.
Dou Pingnan is cautious, according to Cao An's observation, he and Ma Tianyuan both set out to erase their stains after Lu Sansi decided to leave the whirlpool of Youzhou, and Ma Tianyuan is already a very powerful character, but he is still slightly inferior to Dou Pingnan, this person has almost erased all traces, as long as there is no ironclad evidence, even if the cold-faced judge is eyeing him, he should be able to be safe and sound.
What's more, Nie Fengdi's attention now is all on Cao An's head, even if Cao An is gone, there will be a Ma Tianyuan next, so Dou Pingnan is so fearless, so he doesn't care much about Duan Pingsheng's existence.
Xin felt that these two were the kind of people who were unruly, and Duan Pingsheng, who was standing with his hands in his hands, asked lightly: "Two adults, you should know the intention of this king, right?" ”
Ma Tianyuan's expression was still cold, but Dou Pingnan pretended to be stupid and said: "I know, of course I know, since the prince's restaurant is located in Xicheng, Master Ma and I will definitely take care of it, please rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Cao An's expression changed, and Ma Tianyuan glanced at Dou Pingnan, stood up suddenly, and pretended to be Chong Duan Pingsheng bowed his hand slightly, and said bluntly: "Ming people don't say dark words, Lord Dou and I have worked together under Lord Lu Sansi and Lord Lu for many years, and now Lord Lu has just gone to Songzhou, the prince is like integrating us, the old man dared to ask, I don't know if the prince has the capital to compare with Lord Lu?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the previously bland atmosphere immediately lost its disguise, Ma Tianyuan was blunt, and sarcastically mocked Duan Pingsheng as soon as he opened his mouth, without Lu Sansi's ability, don't be delusional about becoming the second Lu Sansi.
Dou Pingnan smiled slightly as usual, and didn't look at any change in Duan Pingsheng's expression, so he continued to lower his head and play with the wine glass in his hand.
In the face of Ma Tianyuan's questioning, Duan Pingsheng's expression did not change, he raised his hand and motioned for Ma Tianyuan to sit down first, and then he said: "Lu Sansi Lord Lu is not an ordinary task, this king admires it tightly in his heart, for his appointment as the assassin of Songzhou, in the early morning of the day he left Youzhou, this king thanked him in person, oh, by the way, there were very few people who saw off Lord Lu that day, but Lord Dou was among them. ”
Dou Pingnan glanced at Duan Pingsheng, put down the wine glass, and arched his hand and said: "The prince remembers well, the contemptible people have served under Lord Lu for many years, and he is grateful, so he came forward to send him off, but he just said it to make the prince laugh, Lord Lu didn't appreciate it, and only let me and a few others watch from afar." ”
"Hehe, Lord Dou don't mind, when this king took the jade pendant from Lord Lu, he pointed to your figure from afar and left a four-character evaluation."
Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, Dou Pingnan raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Can the prince tell me?" To tell you the truth, the contemptible people have never heard Lord Lu's evaluation of me. ”
"Do you really want to listen?"
At such a moment, Duan Pingsheng was selling Guanzi, he slowly sat opposite Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan, his waist straight, so that the two elderly adults still had to look up at his face slightly.
"Listen up!"
Dou Pingnan nodded heavily, although he felt that Duan Pingsheng was making up lies, but he still wanted to hear the answer, after all, even if that kind of comment was not Lu Sansi's, it at least represented the opinion of the young county king in front of him.
Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, and said word by word: "The breeze on both sleeves." ”
Breeze on both sleeves?
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three people in the audience suddenly changed, Cao An felt that this evaluation was a little unrealistic, if Dou Pingnan really had a clean sleeve, he would not be involved in their affairs. Ma Tianyuan's expression changed a little drastically, because he felt that Duan Pingsheng was just simply lying, and with his impression of Lu Sansi, he firmly believed that Lu Sansi would not make such an evaluation.
But when Dou Pingnan heard this, the faint smile on his face, instead of being restrained, became more intense, he stood up, bowed his hand in the direction of Song Zhou, and said with gratitude: "Those who know me, only Lord Lu!" ”
Bah!
Shameless old man!
Cao An and Ma Tianyuan secretly despised themselves, thinking that Dou Pingnan was really good at climbing the pole, obviously everyone present knew that the shady chain of interests, Dou Pingnan pretended to be grateful to Dade in a matter-of-fact manner, and he didn't know whether he was acting for himself or for Lu Sansi, who had already gone away.
And Duan Pingsheng saw Dou Pingnan's meticulous appearance, and he valued this person more and more in his heart, Lu Sansi's evaluation of Dou Pingnan's two sleeves was naturally fake, and the reason why he said this was purely a temptation.
If Dou Pingnan was directly angered by Duan Pingsheng's words because he saw through the lie, then Duan Pingsheng would be able to take the opportunity in turn to make it much less difficult for Dou Pingnan to submit to him. But Dou Pingnan pretended to be stupid like this, which made Duan Pingsheng feel more and more that if he wanted to subdue him, he might not be an overnight thing.
After Dou Pingnan did all this, he ignored the gaze of Ma Tianyuan and Cao An, sat back in the chair by himself, his smile did not change, and he continued to play with the wine glass.
Sensing Dou Pingnan's restrictive voice, Duan Pingsheng turned his attention to Ma Tianyuan: "Master Ma asked this king, what capital is comparable to Master Lu Sansi Lu?" This point really makes it difficult for the king to answer, Lord Lu is a relative of the emperor, and there are nobles in the palace, as long as the wind blows on the pillow, no matter what Lord Lu does, he can be smooth. After thinking about it, this king felt that his throne could only cause obstacles everywhere in Youzhou City, and it was really difficult to compare with the existence of Lord Lu. ”
"Hmph, it's good that the prince has this self-knowledge."
Ma Tianyuan snorted coldly, and then stood up: "Since the prince knows that he can't compare with Lord Lu, then I don't think there is any need to talk about your true intentions, there are still some things in the old man's family, so I can only say goodbye first!" ”
"Wait!"
Duan Pingsheng said quietly, Ma Tianyuan frowned, slightly displeased: "I don't know what else is going on with the prince?" ”
"Huh! Lord Ma's words are wrong, this king came today, just for one thing, and this king previously admitted that he was not capable of matching Lord Lu, but it doesn't mean that I can't replace Lord Lu! ”
As soon as the words fell, Dou Pingnan glanced at Duan Pingsheng quietly, while Ma Tianyuan laughed angrily at his remarks: "Lord Wang, do you know what Youzhou City has been saying about you recently?" ”
Duan Pingsheng shook his head slightly.
"Wishful thinking, living in a dream!" Ma Tianyuan glared at Duan Pingsheng and shook his head again and again, "The old man thought this was right before, and now he thinks it's right!" ”
"Hahaha!" Duan Pingsheng laughed out loud, and immediately straightened out, slowly got up, his eyes were sharp, and he spat out the truth, "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it!" ”
Dou Pingnan silently recited this sentence in his heart, feeling extremely free and easy, and extremely arrogant, many Youzhou magnates, including him, felt that Duan Pingsheng wanted to jump out of the palm of the Youzhou general and the imperial court, it was simply a dream, but Duan Pingsheng laughed at others at this time for failing to see through!
That's ...... Interesting......
Ma Tianyuan didn't think that Duan Pingsheng had any qualifications to say that others were kept in the dark, because he firmly believed that Duan Pingsheng was just holding on, so he said with a cold smile: "If the prince thinks so, doesn't he say that those so-called people who can't see through it are mediocre people?" ”
And Duan Pingsheng showed his confident side: "Yes, before the conclusion is made, everything can happen, you think that this king's fate is ill-fated, but don't forget, when you were waiting in Zhu Yuan, you went to the court to find justice for the viper gang, but what an ending did you end up with!" ”
Ma Tianyuan's face sank, but Duan Pingsheng sneered: "The Viper Gang has been completely destroyed, Zhu Yuan has become the helmsman of this king's beggar gang, Lord Lu has withdrawn after throwing out a few scapegoats, leaving you henchmen behind, and living a troubled life in Youzhou!" ”
"You!"
Ma Tianyuan's expression changed again and again, and he felt that Duan Pingsheng's words were really a bit excessive, according to what Duan Pingsheng said, weren't these people all abandoned by Lu Sansi? Although this is the case now, Ma Tianyuan still refuses to accept this reality.
And Dou Pingnan, who was more normal-minded, agreed with Duan Pingsheng's point of view, thinking that at the beginning, he really didn't expect that under the siege of the Lu family's party, a small county king who had lost power would actually stir up monstrous waves, and in turn directly break up the Lu family's party. And although he has cleaned up a lot of incriminating evidence, but in the face of the cold-faced judge, it is still far from being ten or nine, not to mention anything else, if Cao An is arrested and starts to bite people desperately, then the precautions he has made recently can only be reduced to laughter.
"What? Isn't this king right? Duan Pingsheng sat down again, although he was looking up at Ma Tianyuan at this time, his eyes showed a look of contempt, "Presumably Master Ma hasn't been sleeping well lately, right?" Most of my eyes are dark, and I have been worried about the incident in the east window, so I might as well sit down and have a good chat with this king! ”
Duan Pingsheng slapped Nie Fengdi's identity token on the table, attracting Cao An, Ma Tianyuan, and Dou Pingnan to look at him immediately.
"Three, now it's time to help each other in the same boat, although this king has won a little support from Lord Nie, but the three of them still need to work together, lest a big wave come over and the ship will be destroyed and people die!"
