The young man smiled, as if he didn't care about his own safety at all.

"Yuan Gongzi, rest assured, this is the simplest house, there is no ambush, besides, what's the use of a few more people, let me introduce, the contemptible surname is Mu, the single name is Zhejiang, and he is a small scholar."

Yuan Rui glanced at the county lord and guessed in his heart that this person should be a staff member on the bandit's side, who came to the leader to make ideas, and this time he came to negotiate was entrusted by the bandit leader.

Not only Yuan Rui and the county lord, but ordinary people would think like this, no matter what, a bandit leader would not dare to put himself in danger, let alone come over directly to negotiate.

But how did they know that this scholar was the big boss of Peach Blossom Island, and he arranged these few things, in order to get a big bargaining chip, so that he could have the capital to negotiate, and if it dragged on for a long time, it would be too late.

In the hall, there were scholars and Yuan Rui, the three county lords, the main door was open, the guards were at the door, and a few people could be seen, this scene made Yuan Rui can't help but admire this scholar.

"Mu Gongzi, I don't know something, I want to ask in advance, why do you have to talk to me, the prefect of Hangzhou, the general can talk about it!" Yuan Rui still wanted to understand clearly before the negotiation.

"Don't hide it from the prince, at first it was a blind touch, and asked the soldiers who guarded, they said that now the main person in charge of Hangzhou is a principal, and a steward appointed by the court is the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei, and now he is highly respected by the saint, that is, Yuan Gongzi. I wondered if it was possible for you to come forward to talk, after all, with such a background as Wei Guogong, I am afraid there are not many people in the court. ”

Later, the county lord's guards came and took Yuan Gongzi's personal seal, which can be regarded as great sincerity. So today, Xiao Ke will first come to meet Childe and see what Childe means. ”

"You don't even know the origin of my father-in-law, how dare you be so relieved!"

The county lord didn't want to speak, she had a lot of doubts in her heart, and she was very worried that Yuan Rui would not be able to figure out the situation.

"County Lord, I can't say it completely clearly, there is another point that I am willing to talk to Yuan Gongzi about, that is, that statement, I believe that the person who can say this sentence will never be a traitor, nor is he the kind of person who is in the same stream with traitors for personal gain."

Yuan Rui was stunned after hearing the scholar's words, why was these words so awkward when he said these words from his mouth.

"I'm here today, I just want to ask the prince and the county lord a word," the scholar raised his head and stared at the two of them.

"If you have something to say, you just say it, it doesn't look like a person who kills in vain, and it's a bit moral."

"If, I say, if Childe encounters a traitor and thief who frames others for his own selfish interests, or even kills people, will he be willing to help?"

"No if, I can't answer you in generality now, such things can't be said in one sentence!"

Yuan Rui barely thought about it too much, and ordinary personal grudges were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

"Okay, I want to ask again, if Gongzi encounters it, for personal gain, for what official position, and puts the interests of the country at risk, and disregards the safety of the people, causing thousands of innocent and tragic deaths, dare to ask Yuan Gongzi whether he will stand up for the people."

"Mu Gongzi, I still say the same thing, there is no if, this assumption can only be said to be a personal assumption before it happens."

"Yuan Gongzi, if this has already happened and is deliberately concealed by some people, what is Yuan Gongzi going to do!"

"I can't do anything, I'm not going to do anything until I don't have any definitive evidence. However, if I find out that someone did it, then I will do my best to avenge the innocent people. ”

"Yuan Gongzi, I am not a person of temperament, I didn't use big words, and I didn't despise me because I was a little scholar." The wooden boy stood up and gave a salute, "In order to show sincerity, I brought a gift to the son this time." ”

After speaking, Mu Gongzi took out a knife from a package on the side and handed it to Yuan Rui with both hands.

The county lord has always been nervous, and when he saw the scholar take out his weapon, the county lord stared at him for fear of an accident. Seeing the scholar handing over the knife, he also took the first step to get it in his hand, and he didn't give it to Yuan Rui for the first time.

"Mu Gongzi, this is not necessary, no matter where this gift comes from, I think you take it out today, it must be very valuable, I am a scholar, I don't need it, please take it back!" Yuan Rui looked at Mu Gongzi with a casual expression.

"Childe doesn't want to know the origin of this knife," Mu Gongzi asked.

"There's no need, no matter how valuable a knife is, it means the same to me."

"Childe should have heard of Kun and Gong, this knife and Kun and Gong are made of the same person and the same material."

"Mu Gongzi, don't worry about me! No problem, we'll have a chance to talk about it next time! ”

Yuan Rui knew that today's meeting should be almost over, and this scholar would definitely go back to discuss first, as for how to cooperate and negotiate in the future, it depends on what the other party really wants.

As for the conversation between the two just now, Yuan Rui didn't put it in his heart, thinking that at most it was just a temptation between each other.

Back at home, the county lord who had been holding back all the way couldn't help it.

"You said that the knife is really the same as the Kun Gong knife, why don't you?"

"Kun Xuanyuan Sword, why didn't he say Xuanyuan Sword, a little scholar, where did he get this knife from and rob it?"

"He just used it to test it to see if we were greedy, and they must have something to ask us for, either Zhao'an, or someone in the family was arrested and wanted to be replaced, just because they were afraid that our lions would open their mouths."

Yuan Rui still has a study of history, isn't that what most of the bandits think in the end?

"I don't have any interest in these peerless divine weapons, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it's all waste in the face of thousands of troops, not to mention this kind of personal blade, it's stupid to say that it's stupid to encounter a few spears."

"Besides, now these bandits at sea are fighting on ships, and they don't even see each other, what's the use of such weapons. The knife he took out may have been snatched from a wealthy businessman, and it was just a favor. ”

"In other words, you don't know that on the battlefield, for military generals, a weapon at hand really plays a big role. My father and brother fought on the battlefield, and the greatest casualties among those soldiers were under the weapons of the thorns. Their scimitars were longer than ours, and their maces could not be stopped by our guns and sticks, and the casualties were heavy. ”

"I saw this at the border gate, it is indeed a big problem, but at present, there is really no good way, the physical strength of our soldiers is not as good as theirs, the weapon is too heavy to hold, and the bamboo gun can be used for a while."

"Look at the dwarves, although they have good knives and have a great advantage over our weapons, but this is temporary, for now, as long as we make the head of the spear, and don't let the ghost knife cut off the handle of our gun, it will be fine. There is also the best weapon to restrain the ghost knife is the real iron rod, the ghost knife is very brittle, as long as the front is hard, the ghost knife will be broken at once. ”

"It's been more than a month, do you have any ideas, whether to go home or continue to stay here."

The county lord didn't want to talk to this rectum anymore, and when it came to another big basket, she didn't even think that she was the one who picked the head.

"I don't have any ideas, I just have time, let's figure this out first, and when Xiaohe is stable, go home directly!"

"You just think about Xiaohe, the child she gave birth to is surnamed Meng, and she is not so close to you, and the one I gave birth to is surnamed Yuan!"

"Isn't the surname Meng Na also my son, how can he be so hypocritical."

"What, I'm hypocritical, I'm thinking about you, okay!"

"Hey, I'm not talking about you, I'm saying you can't be so careful, okay, let's go back and work hard!"

Yuan Rui has been scared during this time, it seems that women are the same, even the county lord will be jealous.

After sending the two of them, the big boss of Peach Blossom Island came out of the private house, turned a few streets, entered another big house, did not stop, and entered the courtyard next door through the side door on the other side.

The people in the two courtyards didn't seem to see them, and they didn't say anything, and no one paused, and no one greeted them.

"How's Miss, doing today?" As the big boss walked towards the house, he asked the servant next to him.

"It's been much better in the past few days, Lang Zhong said that he has basically recovered, and he will recuperate next."

"Well, you go and invite Mr. Yang over."

The big boss sat in his chair for a while, and another man dressed as a scholar walked in.

"It's okay today, it's basically determined that this person is not the kind of person who is wise enough to protect his life, as long as the evidence can be found, he can help us." The big boss told the meeting without concealing it.

"Big boss, it's too risky for us to do this, just in case, in case, a little slippery, but there is no room for anything!"

"I know, but what can I do, continue to be a robber at sea, just go ashore to rob something, and slowly increase my strength, it's too difficult. There is also the fact that it is too late, if you really wait for ten or twenty years, what can you do if the case is overturned! ”

"I didn't expect much, I wanted to test it at the beginning, and I had a little relationship with Wei Guogong, if I could let them come forward, there would always be some chance. But after meeting Yuan Rui this time, my mind changed a little, this scholar is indeed not simple, no matter how I tried, I couldn't change his thinking. Especially in the end, he showed no signs of impatience, even when I heard me talk about such a bad thing as someone harming the people, he was very calm, which is what I liked. ”

"Now it seems that our chips are too small, for him, not enough to impress, we have to think about what else we can do, as long as there is enough interest for him, can we impress him."

"Not necessarily, I've been exploring the roots of this person for the past two days, and I found that he is really different from ordinary people."

Mr. Yang thought for a while, "How to say it, he is not famous, but he is not a big official, nor is he a scholar, doing business to make money." He did a lot of things, most of them were for the people to profit, breeding, handicraft, and even farming, he didn't reach out to take a little bit, which is very, very wrong, on the surface he really is for the people. ”

"Now there is a point mentioned in the academy, Yuan Rui has a statement that has caused a big sensation, I have read it, it can indeed be regarded as the first under the holy word, and it has exceeded the thoughts of many Confucian people."

"Such a person, whether he is an official or what kind of personal interests, can't impress him at all, how can you be sure that he can come to help us, it doesn't mean anything to him to get involved!"

"The people, the people, I understand, I can continue to talk today, because the last one I said is to avenge the people, his focus is on the people, the people, the people, what can be related to the people?"

"We are now sea bandits, and the people along the coast are deeply affected by them, if we can help Yuan Rui to exterminate the scourge of sea bandits, will Yuan Rui help us, you say, will it!"

The big boss suddenly figured it out, yes, the pirates didn't want to do it themselves, if they could help destroy the bandits, then Yuan Rui would trust himself.

It seems that it is necessary to quickly find a way to gain a foothold on the sea, and then find out a few families in the surrounding area, and then unite the official army to wipe out these bandits, so that the people along the coast can live a happy life, and their goals can be achieved.
