Chapter 56: What a cunning old fox
The city lord confessed, and the people present couldn't believe that Wan Jia had the upper hand against the city lord this time.
But discerning people know that on the surface, Wanjia took advantage of this confrontation, but this cheapness can be called meaningless.
Sima Xiuyuan just didn't want to make trouble in vain when the general election was approaching, and when Sima Bowen was elected as the deputy city lord, as time went by, the Wanjia family would suffer after all.
Wan Gaozhuo naturally understood this, originally according to his temper, he should have ridiculed two more sentences at this time, but he was really in no mood.
"Let's go too. Wan Gaozhuo sighed in his heart, he still pretended to be calm on the surface, at least he couldn't let others see that the Wanjia family had the upper hand, but he was depressed.
On the way back to Wanjia, Wan Gaozhuo was silent all the way.
His father's silence made Wan Jian'an feel extremely uneasy, even if his father scolded him a few words, it was much more comfortable than now.
returned to Wanjia, Wan Jian'an saw that his father had no intention of letting him go back to sleep.
Sure enough, Wan Gaozhuo waved his hand and said, "Except for Jian'an, everyone else should step aside." ”
After the others heard this, they all retreated one after another, but Wan Gaozhuo just held his forehead and closed his eyes slightly without speaking.
"Dad, I..." Wan Jian'an spoke, wanting to break this embarrassing atmosphere, even if it was to let his father scold a few more words, it would be more comfortable.
"Jian'an, needless to say, it's not your fault, alas..."
Wan Jian'an, who originally thought he would be scolded, was not scolded this time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.
But seeing his father's face, which seemed to be old in an instant, Wan Jian'an also felt guilty.
"Even if you don't fight that kid from the Sima family today, he won't let you go in the future, maybe it was wrong for your father to let you fight for this position. Wan Gaozhuo waved his hand, as if he didn't want to discuss it in depth.
"No, Dad, you're not wrong, and I would have had a chance to win, but Sima Bowen's guy is too insidious..."
As he spoke, Wan Jian'an explained to his father the scene when he entered Tianji Pavilion in General Town word by word.
"Impossible!" Hearing the end, Wan Gaozhuo decisively denied Wan Jian'an's words.
Wan Jian'an also knew that his father would not believe it, so he directly took out the ten pieces of information from the storage ring, especially about Sima Bowen, and handed them to Wan Gaozhuo's hand first.
Wan Gaozhuo picked up these scrolls and looked at them carefully little by little, and after reading them, the doubts in his eyes had turned into shock.
"There is such a magical place, as long as I dig out the black material of the Sima family one step deeper, I will find someone directly, Sima Xiuyuan's guy will not dare to let his son continue to participate..."
Wan Gaozhuo obviously sees more far-reaching than his own son, Wan Jian'an wants to use these black materials to smear the opponent, and Wan Gaozhuo directly thinks about directly letting the opponent withdraw from the game!
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and it is not unreasonable for Wan Gaozhuo to dominate the pill industry in Jianglin City for so many years.
"Let's go, let's go to General Town now, I want to see that magical pavilion master in person!" Wan Gaozhuo's emotions were a little excited, he thought further, not just the problem of the deputy city lord this time.
If there is the help of Tianji Pavilion's intelligence, he can even bring Wanjia to an unprecedented height, and even compared to the significance of obtaining the news of Tianji Pavilion, it is already greater than the significance of making his son the deputy city lord.
"Dad, it's useless, the pavilion master is dead. ”
Wan Jian'an shook his head in disappointment, and told his father about the previous incident.
"You go, call Xinghai over. After hearing this, Wan Gaozhuo frowned and said to his son.
Xinghai is the masked man who was sent to General Town by Wan Jian'an before.
Wan Jian'an didn't understand why his father did this, but he still went out and called Xinghai in person.
Xinghai came in and didn't understand what was going on, only to see Wan Gaozhuo grab his clothes, and said with a serious face: "You describe the matter of your going to Tianji Pavilion word by word, word by word, without leaking a word." ”
Xinghai was taken aback, and he didn't understand why the master was suddenly like this, so he could only fall into deep memories and tell all the things about Tianji Pavilion.
During this period, every detail was not let go by Wan Gaozhuo, and it was not until Xinghai completely explained it clearly that he was allowed to continue.
After listening, Wan Gaozhuo slapped Xinghai's head: "You have also been working in Wanjia for so many years, and I usually said that you should use your brain, observe and analyze more when you do something." ”
"You two fools, that pavilion master is not dead at all. ”
Wan Gaozhuo's words were a shock to both of them, Xinghai didn't dare to speak, Wan Jian'an asked stubbornly, "Dad, how do you know that the pavilion master is not dead?"
"Jian'an, if you didn't lie, don't say it's the kid from the Sima family, or the old thief from Sima Xiuyuan who personally took action, and he is not the opponent of the pavilion master. Wan Gaozhuo sighed: "You don't understand at all, what kind of realm is that." ”
"Really not dead?" Wan Jianxin still said with some doubts: "Then since you are not dead, why do you say that you are dead?"
"Two possibilities. ”
"First, the pavilion master saw through Xinghai's identity and felt that it would be an insult to his identity if you didn't go in person, so he casually found a reason not to see him. ”
"But the first one may not be big, according to what you said, in addition to the pavilion master, who has a bad attitude and almost does not refuse business, the second possibility is... The maid lied. ”
After Wan Jian'an heard this, he immediately became furious: "Damn, that maid dares to tease me, I will definitely let the pavilion master punish her severely." ”
"Stupid. ”
Wan Gaozhuo snorted coldly: "That maid dares to panic like this, which proves that she is favored by the pavilion master, knowing that the pavilion master will not punish her for this kind of thing, you still want to demolish her." ”
Hearing this, Wan Jian'an broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at his father, and he sincerely admired: What a cunning old fox.
......
A few crisp birdsong sounds came from outside the window, and the sound of chirping woke Bai Feng up.
Bai Feng yawned and pushed open the window.
The sky was still hazy, and the air was a little damp.
"What kind of bird, the sun hasn't even come out and it's crying stupidly, could it be the legendary stupid bird?" Bai Feng was very irritable, and he couldn't sleep when his dream was disturbed.
Bai Feng took out a long stick from the room, and decided to drive away these stupid birds who cultivated immortals and didn't sleep, if they cultivated immortals here every day, would they still want to sleep?
But after poking his head out, Bai Feng didn't see any birds around him when he looked left and right, and was about to close the window and look down, when he found a person imitating bird calls under his window.
"What a big stupid bird!" Bai Feng finished speaking, and directly hit him on the head with a stick.
