Chapter Eighty-Seven: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
"Smack!"
In the evening, after learning what Xiao Yao said to Lei Xiao in the auction room, Xue Boling was furious, and the wine glass in his hand was slammed to the ground by him, his face was as hideous as a beast that was extremely angry, and he roared hysterically:
"Xiao Yao, you little bastard, you slandered Rong Rong so much and ruined her innocence, Lao Tzu is not finished with you!"
After roaring, he turned his head and saw that Xue Yongning was still standing there, he couldn't help frowning, and shouted angrily:
"If you don't go to cultivate, what are you doing here?"
"Father's ......"
Xue Yongning, whose lips squirmed slightly, and his face was slightly solemn, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Rong Rong and Lei Xiao ......?"
"It's all gossip, don't hear it. ”
As soon as he asked about this, Xue Boling's heart "chuckled", and he hurriedly interrupted him, and then, with a sigh, calmed down his angry mood, and then solemnly comforted him and said:
"Yongning, work hard to cultivate, get a good ranking in this national competition, and make a name for our Xue family! ”
"Make a name for yourself?"
After listening to Xue Boling's words, Xue Yongning had already realized that this was true, and glanced at his father in front of him with a complicated look, he pursed his lips and sneered with a very self-deprecating meaning:
"Our Xue family is now a household name in more than a dozen cities around Nanyang City, and we still need me to make a name for ourselves?"
"Smack!"
As soon as he heard this, Xue Boling's anger that had just calmed down couldn't help but rise, and his face was also "swishing" to the extreme, his arm was raised, and a slap was slapped on Xue Yongning's face without saying anything.
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
His eyes widened and rolled angrily, and he shouted at Xue Yongning, "Don't pay attention to those gossips outside, do you hear them?"
"Gossip? I've done everything, what else is there to dare to admit?"
was slapped in the face, but Xue Yongning's face changed slightly, his lips squirmed a few times, and a sneer mixed with mockery slowly spit out of his mouth.
"Do you dare to talk to me like that? After two years in the Heavenly Dragon Academy, do you feel that your wings are stiff?"
Xue Boling's face suddenly turned cold to the extreme, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes staring at Xue Yongning, and then, another loud slap slammed into Xue Yongning's cheek.
"You think your wings are stiff, don't you?"
Xue Yongning wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, stared at Xue Boling with his pupils shrunk, a touch of resoluteness suddenly flashed inside, and his face became more serious at this moment, and he looked at Xue Boling.
Suddenly, the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder, as if it only took a spark to ignite and explode the air.
"Second child, how do you talk to your father?"
Xue Yongfeng, who was on the side, saw that they were facing Mai Mang with the tip of their needle, so he hurriedly stepped forward, reached out his hand, and pulled Xue Yongning out.
"Leave me alone!"
Xue Yongning broke free as soon as he shook his hand, stared at Xue Boling, whose face turned blue with anger, and asked indifferently:
"Patriarch Xue, may I ask...... Do you remember the last words of the previous patriarch?"
"Yongning!"
At this time, Xue Bokai walked in, felt the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, secretly said badly, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:
"It's all a family, what's not to say?"
At the same time, he glanced at Xue Yongfeng and motioned for him to hurry over and pull Xue Yongning's donkey away.
"Patriarch Xue, have you really forgotten the last words of the previous patriarch?"
Xue Yongning shook off Xue Yongfeng's arm again, asked in an unchanged tone, his eyes became cold, like a beast foraging for food, staring at the prey in front of him: Xue Boling.
"What you see with your eyes may not be true, the Xiao family you see is not the real Xiao family, and Xiao Haotian is not the real helmsman of the Xiao family. ”
"Therefore, don't have the idea of getting rid of the control of the Xiao family, let alone underestimate the Xiao family, especially Xiao Qingfeng, who seems to be indisputable, and try your best to maintain this marriage relationship with the Xiao family, so as to ensure the peace and ......longevity of the Xue family."
Father Xue Haiyang's last words fluttered in Xue Boling's ears, which made the corners of his mouth twitch involuntarily, and his face suddenly darkened, but immediately became gloomy. Since this has been done, we must unswervingly go on, and there must not be the slightest wavering.
"Get out of here!"
He rolled his eyes angrily and shouted, "You are not qualified to point fingers in front of me!"
"Xue Boling!"
Xue Yongning's eyes also widened, and he shouted excitedly: "You are violating the ancestral teachings, you are pushing the Xue family into the fire pit, do you know the Dao? What is the difference between taking refuge in the Lei family and continuing to rely on the Xiao family? With Lei Xiao's identity, will he give Rong Rong the identity of his wife? Do you think Gao Zhi is so easy to climb? Let Rong Rong be a concubine with no status for others, have you fulfilled the responsibility of a father? Xue Boling, you are not a qualified father, nor is you a qualified patriarch. You are the great sinner of the Xue family,......"
With a roar, he was forcibly pulled out by Xue Bokai and Xue Yongfeng's uncle and nephew, but his voice was like thunder, rolling away, floating back and forth above the Xue family.
"Smack!"
The angry Xue Boling picked up another wine glass and slammed it on the ground, his eyes red and roared: "Unfilial son! Who am I doing this for? Is it for myself?"
"Xiao Yao, you little bastard, I shouldn't have been merciful in the first place, but as a result, wouldn't you be a hundred, where is all this trouble?"
After a short while, Xue Boling gritted his teeth and slammed his palm on the wall next to him, and suddenly, he left a shallow handprint on it.
"Lei Xiao, Xiao Dingtian, you two are not fucking good things!"
Venting his anger again, Xue Boling poured himself a glass of wine, raised his neck, and poured the wine from the cup into his stomach in one gulp, but he did not taste anything except bitterness.
"Big Brother ......"
Xue Bokai, who had already walked in, saw him drink all the wine in the cup and vent the anger in his heart, so he said tentatively and softly:
"I've arranged for someone to go to a nearby city to publicize the gambling game. You see, this handicap ...... How do you decide?"
As soon as he heard this, the anger on Xue Boling's face vanished, replaced by an irresistible majesty.
"How sure are you?" he asked, sitting down.
"That stone, Lao Zhou of the casino has also been to see it, and with everyone's opinion, it is not bullish. Bet on a five-fold increase, and it will be even more unlikely. ”
Xue Bokai secretly looked at his eldest brother Xue Boling and observed the changes in his mood. Don't look at Xue Boling's serious look, but Xue Bokai knows very well that his eldest brother is a master who can change.
Therefore, Xue Bokai was always a little frightened in front of Xue Boling, lest his words annoy the uncertain guy in front of him.
"With your understanding of Xiao Yao, do you think he ...... Will he do such a thankless thing? With his retributive character, will he cheapen Lei Xiao's enemy for nothing?" Xue Boling frowned slightly, and asked softly with a puzzled look.
"Theoretically, no, but I think he hates us the most, so ...... That's ......"
Xue Bokai didn't continue, he felt that there was no need to continue, everyone knew about Xiao Yao's assassination, but it hadn't reached the last moment, and no one had pierced the last layer of paper.
Of course, this was in the past. As Xue Rongrong fell into the hands of the law enforcement team again, Xiao Yao was about to get married early, and this layer of window paper had already been poked into a hole by him.
And he preached everywhere that Xue Rongrong did not abide by women's morals, gave him a green hat, and even tore off the piece of paper on the window one by one, and there was no possibility of even repairing it.
"It seems like that's the case, but I've always had a little ...... in my heart."
Xue Boling nodded thoughtfully, but halfway through his words, the voice of the housekeeper Xue Fu suddenly came from outside:
"Master, I'm back!"
"Teng!"
Hearing this voice, Xue Boling jumped up from the chair at once, jumped to the door with an arrow step, looked a little nervous but asked in a very respectful tone:
"Fu Bo, how is it?
Xue Fu was his father's housekeeper when he was the patriarch, so Xue Boling has always treated him as a relative and has always respected him.
"I didn't see him!"
Xue Fu said unhurriedly, his expression was a little indifferent, "I heard that after Xiao Yao went to the City Lord's Mansion, he left Yewu City with Yu'er and went out to run errands. ”
"He's gone?"
Xue Boling was stunned, Xiao Qingfeng hadn't left Yewu City for more than ten years, and he left suddenly......
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a slightly excited expression: "Then did you go to the City Lord's Mansion to see Xiao Yao?"
"No, he just stayed there for a while and then left. Then, I went to the new house to look for him, but Xiao Qingwu said that Xiao Yao was in retreat and refused......
"What's that?" Xue Boling hurriedly asked.
"Proof of assets of 50 million gold coins!"
"What?"
The brothers Xue Boling and Xue Bokai exclaimed in surprise, their faces changed greatly, their legs were weak, their bodies staggered, and they almost didn't sit on the ground.
After a while, Xue Boling, whose face was angry, clenched his fists, and looked up to the sky with a fierce look in his eyes and roared: "Xiao Yao, you little bastard, you deceive people too much!"
"Big brother, what should I do?"
Xue Bokai was also anxious, the Xue family couldn't take out so many assets at all, unless they took out all the things in the Treasure Pavilion and sold them.
Even if it is enough, it still has to be under Xiao Yao's name, this trick is really to push the Xue family into the fire pit?
"Where do I know what to do?" the emotional Xue Boling shouted.
Xiao Yao's words are already very clear, if he doesn't take out this money and goods as gambling funds, then Xue Rongrong will abolish the cultivation in accordance with the laws of the empire.
But at this time, Xue Yongfeng walked over and glanced at Xue Boling, who was on the verge of an outburst, biting his lower lip with his teeth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"What are you making of again?" Xue Boling asked.
"Lei Xiao came here just now, and he asked you to ...... Give him 10 million proof of assets!" Xue Boling replied stubbornly, not daring to look at his father's eyes, those eyes were too scary.
"I'll ......"
Xue Boling was furious, and was about to scold, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a panicked voice came tremblingly:
"Patriarch, something is wrong, something is wrong! The city guards surrounded our Xue family, saying that after the gambling game is over, we will retreat!"
"It's over!"
Under the successive blows, Xue Boling's face was like ashes, and in his empty eyes, two words flashed clearly in them:
Regret!
