Four hundred and seventy-four, forced into a dead end
At this point, in fact, Tan Yingyu's intention is obvious, but Xie Hongwei is still a little unsure, "If I understand correctly, the landlord hopes to let Xie Huilian sit on the throne of the sect, and only in this way will Xingzhilou help Xie get out of trouble." ”
Tan Yuyu thought that Xie Hongwei would pretend to be confused with him, and then tried to let Xingzhilou help first, and then talk about Zongzi. Unexpectedly, although this sect master is a little unpopular, he is indeed open-minded.
Invite Yu nodded, "Sect Master Xie is right. I would like to cooperate with the Xie family in the business of Xingshi Building. A three-point dividend will be given to the Xie family every year, so that you can breathe a sigh of relief. I also have a way to help Yin Rong quit his gambling addiction and prevent him from embezzling the family property again. But the premise of these must be that the position of the son of the sect must be Xie Huilian's. ”
Xie Hongwei fell silent. He wasn't afraid of spending money, and he wasn't even afraid of tightening his clothes and food to maintain the Xie clan. But he was afraid that others would say that he was selling his reputation, and he was even more afraid that he would be scolded after death, saying that the Xie family of the century-old clan was destroyed in his hands.
But this does not mean that he will be willing to be coerced by Tan Yuyu.
"Just redeem the property." Xie Hong said slightly: "Since there is still cash in the account, just redeem it." Next year it will be back to normal. ”
After Xie Hongwei finished speaking, he motioned to the steward to do it. Although there are so many gambling houses, it will definitely be a lot of things to abolish when they talk about it one by one, but the status of the Xie family is especially high, if these gambling houses still want to operate, they must bow to the Xie family. That's the benefit of being a century-old clan.
"Don't be that troublesome." Tan Yuyu said: "Your clan property walker building has been redeemed. Since we said that we want to help, we naturally can't sit back and watch these family properties fall into the hands of those third-class sects and nine streamers in the gambling house. As long as Xie Huilian becomes the son of the Xie clan, these clansmen's property will be returned with both hands. ”
How could Tan Invite Yu be so stupid as to sit and wait for the Xie family to spend money to redeem the property. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Xie family is down, the foundation is still there. As long as you say hello to the government, which gambling house dares to carry it and not return the property to the Xie family.
If the Xie family didn't even have this ability, then Tan Zhaoyu didn't need to spend this effort to win them over.
Tan Invite Yu saw the weakness of the gambling house, and directly sent someone to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the gambling houses, and exchanged the family wealth that the Zhu family originally planned to disperse with the various gambling houses for the Xie family's family property.
The gambling houses also knew that the Xie family was not easy to mess with, and they couldn't wait to get rid of this hot potato, so Tan Yuyu's proposal was exactly what these people wanted. In the end, Invite Yu didn't spend a penny and forced Xie into a dead end.
Xie Hongwei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at this time. Although Tan Invite Rain said it nicely. But no one is stupid. This is obviously forcing himself to accept Xie Huilian as the son of the sect. Otherwise, these clan properties will have nothing to do with the Xie family.
Although Xie Hongwei didn't know how much ability the Xing Building had. can see Princess Jinling's attitude towards these people, coupled with Tan Zhaoyu's fearless appearance, Xie Hongwei knows that Xingzhilou will definitely not be afraid of opposing the Xie family.
Xie Hong clenched his fists slightly and slammed them against the desk. After being silent for a long time, You Bu struggled and asked, "Does it have to be Huilian?" In the name of the sect master, I guarantee that no matter which lineage Xiaolang is selected by the Xing Shi Lou, he will definitely be the same enemy as the Xing Lou in the future. And the children of the descendants inherit the throne of the sect, so that they can serve the people, and it will also be good for you. ”
Xie Hongwei also saw that Xingzhilou had wasted so much effort, and it was definitely not as simple as simply helping Xie Huilian. As long as the interests are aligned, Zongzi should still be negotiable.
But he didn't expect that Tan Zhaoyu rejected him directly.
"I understand Sect Master Xie's considerations. I also respect the rules of the Xie family. So I have a proposal, I want to ask Princess Jinling to accept Xie Huilian as her grandson. Continuing the incense of the former sect leader Xie Ming. I don't know what Princess Jinling thinks? ”
Princess Jinling didn't expect Tan Zhaoyu to have such a proposal. I was moved for a while. She failed to give birth to a son for Xie Ming, which led to the severance of the orthodox lineage. After so many years, she didn't think about adopting a child. It's just that she and Xie Chao are actually guilty. How can any man be willing to give his son to them? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?
Probably knowing Princess Jinling's concerns, Tan Yuyu further persuaded: "The disaster will not be for the three generations. Today's Song Emperor advocates benevolence and benevolence, and will not reprimand his step-grandchildren because of the sins of the former suzerain. Even if there is a day, as long as our walker building is still there, it will definitely be able to save the day. ”
Princess Jinling's gaze fell on Xie Hongwei, obviously persuaded by Tan Yuyu, but she also took into account Xie Hongwei's thoughts.
Tan Yuyu understood Princess Jinling's thoughts, and turned to Xie Hongwei and said: "The Xie family has rules, since ancient times, the title can be inherited by the son from the father and the grandson by the ancestor, but the suzerain must be a capable person." I heard that Sect Master Xie had said a long time ago that he would choose a person with both ability and political integrity as the sect son. I don't know who you originally wanted? ”
Xie Hong opened his mouth slightly and closed his mouth, wanting to say that he was afraid that if Xing Shilou wholeheartedly supported Xie Huilian, it would be unfavorable to the candidate in his heart. Even if he only talked to Tan Invite Yu for a while, he could see that the landlord in front of him had some means.
Tan Yuyu's voice was gentle, "It seems that Sect Master Xie has some misunderstandings about the Xingshi Building. We are calculating, and we will only use convincing schemes. We don't bother to do such things as indiscriminate killing of innocents. ”
Tan Zhaoyu ordered the tea with his fingers and wrote the word "Lingyun" on the desk. Then he raised his head and asked, "This person is the candidate for the sect in Sect Master Xie's heart?" ”
Xie Hongwei was shocked in his heart, and almost blurted out, "How do you know?" ”
Tan Invite Yu looked at the name on the table and said with approval: "This person's talent is indeed the most outstanding among the young children of the Xie family. Whether it is appearance, background, and talent, it is the best. Pity...... His character and fortune were the worst. I believe that Sect Master Xie also knows this, otherwise he would not be unable to make a decision. ”
Princess Jinling on the side was a little puzzled, why did Xie Lingyun, whom Xie Hongwei often mentioned in front of her, end up as a misbehaving person when he arrived at Tan Inviteu?
Princess Jinling went to see Xie Hongwei again, and saw that his face was solemn, and she stopped talking a little.
Tan Yuyu took the initiative to explain the confusion to Princess Jinling: "Xie Lingyun has always been the most high-profile of the Yan Branch. I heard that he was studious when he was young, well-read, and good at poetry. Among them, calligraphy and pastoral landscape poetry are the most proficient. It's a pity ......"
Tan Yuyu shook his head and said, "He has never had a good career. even had a close relationship with the deceased second prince. Since becoming an official, at least half of the year I will not go to the official office under the pretext of illness. was also bumped into several times by Shangguan and went out to play on sick leave...... I heard that he returned to Chenjun last year, playing and drinking, gathering and writing poems, day and night. Therefore, he was impeached by the Imperial History and removed from all official positions. This kind of person who is only obsessed with mountains and rivers, Sect Master Xie really reassures that the Xie family will be handed over to him? ”
