Chapter 308: Make a Deal
Cui Li laughed so much that tears came out, and the whole person fell into a state of madness. Especially when he talked about the Zheng family being made into a human by him, the flash of happiness in his eyes made Zhang Zhengzhi frown.
This is a lunatic, a complete lunatic. Cui Li fell into the joy of revenge. But what Zhang Zheng saw was not only Cui Li's joy, but also Cui Li's indifference that he didn't take human life seriously.
Not only someone else's life, but also his own. Zhang Zheng admits that he is not an indecisive person, but he cannot do it if he drags millions of people into the whirlpool of war for personal vendettas.
If Cui Li slaughtered the Cui family alone, Zhang Zheng would only praise him for being a good man. But the souls of 300,000 innocent people are wandering in the sky of Datang at this moment.
Although the culprits are Li Shimin and the family, Zhang Zheng will not believe that Cui Li did not play a catalytic role in it.
Therefore, Zhang Zheng looked at Cui Li with no trace of sympathy for his misfortune in life.
is still the same sentence, this person can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, Zhang Zheng doesn't like it. Maybe he really didn't know about Lao Li Gang's death, but Cui Li didn't think that Zhang Zheng could think about his kindness.
In the final analysis, everything Cui Li did was ultimately to stab his knife at the family.
Thinking about it, if Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao knew that they were both chess pieces in Cui Li's hands, their thoughts would definitely be similar to Zhang Zheng's.
Cui Li smiled, his expression gradually calmed down, and a trace of clarity was restored in his eyes. Seeing this, Zhang Zheng found a small Mazha and sat down.
Looking at the scarred Cui Li, he said, "Say, what is the purpose of coming to the academy today, it won't be to let me beat you up." Cui Li grinned and said, "Of course not, it's just a matter of passing for you to beat up and get angry." I'm here today mainly to make a deal with you. β
"Deal?" Zhang Zheng was a little puzzled, what deal can Cui Li and himself do? Cui Li lifted the hair that covered his face, ignoring the blood stains on the hair.
Showing a smile, he grinned, "Not bad, deal!" β
"Tell me about it?" Zhang Zheng was a little noncommittal, trading this kind of thing depends on whether the price is suitable or not.
But since Cui Li dared to risk being beaten to death by himself, he also had to come to the academy to talk to him about the deal.
Obviously, he is very satisfied with the price he can give, and he is determined that he will not refuse. So Zhang Zheng decided to listen to his conditions first.
Cui Li knew that Zhang Zheng would definitely not refuse, after all, everyone was a child of a big family.
There is a high degree of similarity in the perception of sentiment and profit. As long as the price you give is high enough, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
So Cui Li directly put forward his request
ββ
"Help me protect my sister and save her from the slaves when I die." Zhang Zheng is not surprised by this, Cui Li may or may not die.
But the situation he is in is now extremely dangerous, which is a well-known thing. Li Shimin can shelter their brother and sister for a while, but he can't shelter them for a lifetime.
Besides, Cui Li is just a chess piece in Li Shimin's hands in the end, and now this chess piece has lost its use value.
Unless he never takes another step out of Chang'an, the Cui family and the Zheng family will not let him go. Since ancient times, the most disgusting character in the world has been a traitor.
No matter what unfair treatment Cui Li suffered in the Cui family, it is an indisputable fact that he betrayed the Cui family.
The life-and-death struggle between the enemies is certainly tragic, but the most painful feeling is still
The yin knife that "one's own person" stabbed into the heart. Therefore, the family can tolerate Zhang Zheng's arrogance, Zhang Zheng's domineering, and Zhang Zheng's various shady methods, because they are enemies of Zhang Zheng.
But Cui Li, this capricious villain, his own person who betrayed his position, must die. Zhang Zheng figured out the reason why Cui Li put forward this condition in an instant.
Then he asked lightly, "What can I get?" β
"Zheng Tong's head, Zheng's daughter is from the third room in Xingyang, and the person in charge of the third room is Zheng Tong. His own sister was cut into a human by me, and he would personally kill me if he could. I will set up a situation to lure him into the academy again, and if I succeed, I will send his head to the college. If I fail, Zheng Tong will definitely show up in person, and you can send someone to fetch it at that time. Cui Li spoke quickly, and at a very fast speed, he told Zhang Zheng the price he was willing to pay.
used his life as bait to fish Zheng Tong out. At that time, no matter whether Cui Li is dead or alive, Zhang Zheng will be able to get Zheng Tong's head.
This result sounds tempting and the conditions are reasonable. But Zhang Zheng still has doubts.
"I'm curious, why don't you go to trade with Your Majesty, I think, Zheng Tong's head, Your Majesty should also be very interested."
"Your Majesty, how to protect, do you want to go into the harem to protect?" Cui Li showed a hint of ridicule on his face, and he said such a rebellious word unabashedly.
Li Tai, the little fat man who hid in the filial piety hall and gritted his teeth, couldn't help but be full of anger when he heard the words.
This Cui Li, so bold, dared to arrange his father like this. Is this mocking his father for being a hungry ghost?
Li Tai's small hands clenched tightly and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
"You should know that although I have a fiancΓ©e, I have not passed through the door now, let alone anyone in the room. You don't worry about your sister handing it over to Your Majesty, but you can rest assured if you hand it over to me? Zhang Zheng pursed his lips and said, what he said was also the truth.
It's not at ease to hand it over to Li Shimin, but it's relieved to hand it over to yourself? Cui Li muttered: "My sister's knowledge is not inferior to any Confucian today, leave her in the academy, do chores or be a husband, even if it is sweeping the floor, I don't want my mother's tragedy to happen to her again." β
"Yes, deal." Zhang Zheng nodded and agreed to Cui Li's deal. It's fair that human lives are exchanged for human lives.
As for whether Cui Li will die, Zhang Zheng guessed that Cui Li would not only not die, but might destroy the Cui family and the Zheng family with his own hands.
Because Cui Li gathered all the factors that the protagonist should have. Poor background, stubborn character, top intelligence.
What's more, there is also a proper protagonist template to help him. If such a person dies easily, it can only be said that it is too leeward.
"When the academy opens, I will send my sister to the academy." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Cui Li stood up and bowed to Zhang Zheng.
"Hmm." Zhang Zheng nodded lightly, and did not have too many mood swings. A huge academy still has the strength to accommodate a weak woman.
