The atmosphere in the big tent became dull and weird for a while, but Li Tai, the atmosphere killer, did not feel the slightest guilt, seeing that the people present ignored him, he simply turned around and whispered to Yang Kuan to ask how far the counterinsurgency army in Weizhou had been prepared.

Yang Kuan was not in the mood to discuss this topic, he was also very curious about what Li Tai had in mind and how to deal with the matter in front of him, but Li Tai didn't say it, and he couldn't ask directly, otherwise he would seem to be not as resourceful and imaginative as this young man, so he only casually perfunctory asked Li Tai's questions.

Such a dreary atmosphere lasted for most of the quarter, and a state official walked in quickly and said to Li Tai respectfully: "Changshi, that Quan clan's Quan Hanlang is humiliated, how can Changshi and the Li clan in the township be of the same clan, how can we ensure that this matter will be dealt with fairly?" What if after he entered the mine, Changshi refused to fulfill his agreement? ”

Quan Hanlang was the person from the Quan clan who had just entered the account and quarreled with Li Yunxin, and when he heard the state official relay his words, the people in the account couldn't help but whisper and discuss, and some of them were as worried as Quan Hanlang, and felt that Li Tai was unlikely to keep his promise.

Although Li Tai said just now that this was just a joke, everyone was still skeptical, because he had not been in the town for a long time and did not have enough prestige to win the trust of others, and he was really able to do it, which naturally made people suspicious and uneasy.

But some people also sensitively noticed that what Quan Hanlang was worried about was whether Li Tai would fulfill the agreement, and did not question whether this matter was feasible, which shows that in his mind, if there is a premise of fair competition, he is also willing to attract the power of the government to help eradicate the hostile people!

Li Tai laughed after hearing this question, he was still worried that the two sides hated each other and were also very strong, and he must take revenge and eradicate the other party with his own hands instead of pretending to others, if this is the case, then it will be superfluous for him to do anything.

"Tell that Quan Hanlang, I don't know the Li family in this township, even if I want to get close, people may not come to me. The reason why I have gathered all the village sages here today is to adjudicate this matter fairly in public, even if I am not enough to win his trust, but if I deliberately take sides, I will not be able to hide the ears and eyes of the village sages. ”

When Li Tai said this, his voice sank sharply again: "What's more, if I really have this heart, he thinks that if he doesn't respond, he can avoid disaster?" Let him stop thinking about it and answer as soon as possible! ”

Although the words are not pleasant, they tell the truth. In the past few years, the Quan family and the Li family have been evenly matched, and it is difficult for each other to completely suppress the other, but if a third-party force joins it, then the other family will not be far away.

Soon after the state official withdrew, another person in charge of keeping an eye on Li Yunxin also hurriedly entered the account, and Li Tai hurriedly raised his hand to stop him before he could speak, and the clerk handed over the pen and paper and presented it in writing.

The clerk hurriedly leaned over and wrote down the distribution ratio that Li Yunxin said on a piece of paper, and then handed it to Li Tai before entering.

Li Tai took the piece of paper and looked at it, ignoring the curious eyes of the people around him, then folded the paper and handed it back and instructed: "Send it to the Quan Lang for his reference." ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, their expressions suddenly changed again, although they were still at a loss to know what Li Tai was going to do, but they could also guess what kind of changes this step could cause.

Sure enough, not long after the paper with the price code written on it was sent to Kwon Hanlang, Kwon Hanlang's offer was quickly sent in. Li Tai still did not plan to make the price code of both sides public, but sent Quan Hanlang's price code to Li Yunxin.

If so, although the two sides did not see each other, they also realized that Li Tai was deliberately letting them compete with each other, and although the frequency of their respective bids became slower, none of them withdrew.

If there was a feud between them before, there might be other solutions, but when they joined the auction proposed by Li Tai, there was no other choice and retreat for each of them, and only by continuing to overpower each other could they defeat this hometown enemy.

But with the improvement of each other's weight, the taste of this matter has changed, if it was said that at the beginning, it was still to get strong reinforcements to take revenge, and I wanted to put the other party to death.

But in this kind of comparison, their respective bids have already exceeded the psychological price but they can't stop, which means that they have changed from revenge to self-preservation, whether they can put the other party to death or not, the important thing is that they can't be the target of attack!

At this time, everyone in the big tent also realized that things had developed to this point, and the two families who hated each other had been completely tied up in it.

】

Although I don't know what price they have been forced to pay, seeing that the interval between each offer is getting longer and longer, it can be imagined that they are already suffering, but Li Tai has no intention of stopping, but he just ordered to continue to send each other's price codes.

"Enough! Please Li Changshi stop in moderation, why take advantage of the hatred between the two sides to make such a heart-wrenching show! ”

Finally, an old man surnamed Lu got up angrily, looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice.

Li Tai was not annoyed when he heard this, he only raised his hand and pointed at the old man and sneered playfully: "The old slave dares to make a gaffe in front of me and roar filial piety, it is best that you do not have a grudge against other families in the township, otherwise you will be picked up and sold by your head!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a look of astonishment, and after a while, they all stood up one after another, pointing at Li Tai is scolding, and the sound almost overturned the big tent. It can be seen that not only does he have no hometown grudges, but he is also very popular, and Li Tai is so rude to him that he is angry.

"Shut up!"

Yang Kuan, who was watching the play from the sidelines, didn't expect Li Tai to be so strong, seeing that the crowd was surging and about to get out of control, he quickly stood up and roared angrily, and then pointed at Li Tai and said: "Boshan, General Lu is the head of the earth that the masses have admired for a long time, how can he be so offended?" Don't apologize quickly, and ask for forgiveness! ”

Li Tai also reversed his previous arrogant posture, stood up and bowed to the old man surnamed Lu, and then raised his head to look at the old man and said: "The younger generation is ignorant and offended, and seeing that the people in the Huashan Gong and tent have no respect for General Lu, I realized that I had offended the head of the township, and I beg General Lu not to mind." ”

The old man surnamed Lu was pointed at his nose and scolded the old slave, and he had to sell his head to others, and he was extremely ashamed in his heart, but seeing Li Tai's sincere apology, he couldn't react for a while.

Li Tai didn't wait for the old man to answer, but looked around at the people in the tent who were still indignant, and then sighed and said: "But if you can unite as one and resist its insult outside, no one can be humiliated!" I am also a young man in the country, and I am on the left side of the state, and once I am arrogant and rude to my hometown, I need to be ashamed of myself, please forgive me.

If you still have no self-realization, then I am afraid that I will not be the guests of the banquet, please do not disturb yourself. If you can have one or two thoughts in mind, then I beg to stay for a few more moments to see if I am right to judge the matter. ”

Since everyone came here, their emotions have been led by Li Tai, and when they heard him say this, they were a little undecided, and they waited left and right to see whether the people in the same country would stay or leave.

The old man surnamed Lu spoke again at this time: "You and enter the table first, as Li Changshi said, Changshi is the seal envoy of the left of the state and the people of the county, if it is unfair to deal with it and self-isolation in one place, we also need to admonish the villagers!" ”

Hearing this, everyone sat down again.

Li Tai no longer continued to let the two of them circulate each other's prices, but put the papers that had been circulated one by one in front of him, and then looked at the old man surnamed Lu and said with a smile: "What General Lu said that I took advantage of people's hearts to make a drama of punishment, which is really a little wronged to me.

If the nostalgia is as smooth as jade, how can the plan be used? Only when the situation is incompatible, will there be hatred! This situation did not start with me, you have been watching things in the township for a long time, can you not know that this hometown is profound and difficult to bridge? ”

When they heard this, they were all silent. Although they were not the two parties involved, they were somewhat embarrassed to see that these two sides were slightly aroused by a stranger and wanted to put each other to death at any cost.

"The specific price of these two companies is for the sake of their respective faces, please forgive me for not telling you in detail, but it can be simply said that their respective bids have already exceeded the profits of the bran gold mine in Kuamagou. That is to say, all of this mine belongs to me, and each of them has a gift from the goods industry. ”

After Li Tai said this, he sighed again, looked at everyone and said in a heavy tone: "I don't know how you feel when you hear this, do you have any schadenfreude in your heart and secretly scolded the two families for being stupid. The feud between the two families began in this ditch, and their respective clans suffered many casualties, and in the end, they had to give up all these floating wealth and profits in exchange for a peace and happiness. But I want to remind you to be wary of him, and the monarchy is the same! ”

"What Li Changshi said is true, and hatred blindfolds people to lose their minds. Originally, it was just a loss of fur, but because of a momentary battle of will, in the end, it was necessary to cut the flesh to pay for it. Everyone should also remember this lesson, and don't indulge in anger and resentment in the township! ”

The old man surnamed Lu also nodded, and opened his mouth to echo Li Tai's words.

"It's not all, it's more! As the saying goes, I would rather love a piece of soil in my hometown than a thousand bells in my hometown, and if I have this root, it is not called duckweed catkins. Our clan has been wandering outside for generations, and the longing for Sang Zi is beyond the reach of you and other people who have lived in the countryside for a long time. This time, I was really excited, but I didn't want to return to my hometown, but the nostalgia I saw was shocking! ”

Li Tai did not have a good face because of the old man surnamed Lu, he stood up from the banquet and walked to the tent, raised his leg and kicked over the basket of mineral soil used for display just now, the mineral mixed with a little bit of bran gold was suddenly sprinkled all over the tent, and even a few Haoqiang who were sitting close were hit by the sand, but seeing Li Tai's angry expression, he didn't dare to raise his hand to dust it off for a while.
