Chapter 266: Proposal
Hearing such a sharp question, Li Zhan couldn't help frowning, and the fingers on the table flicked slightly, as if he was contemplative.
At this time, a small soldier suddenly entered outside, went straight behind Li Zhan, and also lowered his voice and said: "The latest news, during the day, the Turks entered the city to make trouble, and it was Bai Gongzi who calmed down the emotions of the Turks. Master Jiang felt that if Bai Gongzi was a member of the Holy Lotus Sect, then he should be happy to see the Turks making trouble in the city. ”
This is breaking news!
Li Zhan's face changed when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"It's true, many people have seen it with their own eyes, but at that time, this white prince said a few words in front of the Turkic leader and left, and he didn't know what he was talking about."
Li Zhan squinted his eyes and waved his hand at the soldier, and the other party went down.
The guards next to him asked again: "Lord Wang, what should I do now?" ”
Li Zhan did not answer and remained silent.
Upon learning of this, many more questions suddenly arose.
Why did Bai Song do this?
Could it be the Holy Lotus Sect's suspicious tactics?
If Bai Song is really not the Holy Envoy of the Holy Lotus Sect, then who will be the real Holy Envoy?
Or, is it possible to take some measures that would rather kill the wrong person than let it go?
Before Li Zhan could make a decision, the guards behind him seemed to feel something, and their expressions became nervous: "Lord Wang, someone is hiding in the dark." ”
"According to the original plan, you go and deal with the people hiding in the shadows, if you really have to do it, the officers and soldiers in ambush on the ship are enough to deal with it."
The guards retreated and disappeared from sight.
And Bai Song was still looking at Miss Chen at the moment.
The other party's emotions are now understandable and not cared.
After all, the current first mansion in Youzhou is basically equivalent to the Chen family's hand-over, and the silver taels spent by their own family originally belonged to the Chen family, and the people lost so much, some emotions are understandable.
Bai Song arched his hand with a smile: "Miss Chen, it was all invited by Master Chen, don't you know?" ”
"Bai Song! I'm not done yet! Chen Xirong was extremely angry tonight, and she didn't care about the current occasion.
Bai Song replied again: "Miss Chen, we are all businessmen, and the so-called business is just for profit. It's not a chamber of commerce right now, so why hurt everyone's harmony because of work? ”
"Who is a little kind with you! I...... I...... I ......"
"Sorry!" Chen Fan stood between the two and scolded, "It's not big or small, it's your turn to speak here!" ”
"Dad, he's a vile and shameless villain!"
"Sister......" On the side, the young master of the Chen family, who was submissive, pulled his sister, "Don't be angry, that person is not easy to mess with, you don't have to say a word." ”
Chen Xirong stared at Bai Song, completely unaware of his brother's abnormality, sat down indignantly, and poured himself a full glass of wine.
Chen Fan kept a smile and said to Bai Song: "Don't be surprised Bai Gongzi, my girl lacks some discipline. ”
Bai Song deliberately raised his voice and replied: "Miss Chen has a strong temperament, which is the favor of the younger generation, and she will not be blamed." ”
Listening to the words, Chen Xirong was so angry that she was about to cry, and slammed the cup hard, and it was another big cup.
The discussion on the small table was still there, and Bai Song had already sat among the heads of the family.
Chen Fan signaled to open the table, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
In the flower boat, enjoy the best view of the stage performance on the river, there is no noise, and the sound of the girl playing and singing is also vaguely audible.
After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Chen Fan stopped his glass and said that he wanted to do something important tonight.
"You are all the leading figures in Jixian County, and tonight is a rare time to get together. No matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts we have with each other, in this day, please look at Chen's face and put aside the past for the time being.
I believe you all know very well what the biggest threat in Youzhou is recently. The Holy Lotus Sect infiltrated Youzhou, or deceived or stole or robbed, and I don't know how many families were harmed. I heard that many merchants in Jixian County have been deceived, and many families have died.
Chen estimated that it wouldn't be long before the Holy Lotus Sect would attack our major scholars. Chen summoned the other party together in advance to discuss a reliable way to deal with the Holy Lotus Sect. ”
At the mention of the Holy Lotus Sect, everyone frowned.
Someone said: "Most of the bandits in the Holy Lotus Sect are not afraid of death, how can we deal with the Holy Lotus Sect by waiting for the scholarly sect?" ”
"That is, the thieves of the Holy Lotus Sect are everywhere, and I heard that the money of the merchants is buried in the cemetery, and they can also dig it up for you. Now I can't sleep all day long, I'm afraid that I will wake up in the morning and the money at home will be gone. ”
"From the current point of view, most of the Holy Lotus Sect is mainly stealing, so we have to think of a perfect anti-theft method first."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there doesn't seem to be much good way.
At this time, Li Zhan suddenly interrupted and looked at Bai Song: "Bai Gongzi, now you are the youngest and the most active in thinking, what can you do to implement this?" ”
"It's simple." Bai Song didn't hesitate at all, "Since you are worried about the money being stolen, then think of ways to make the money something that cannot be stolen, such as the Ming Chun Garden I just bought." If you exchange the silver and copper coins for real estate, you can't move them, you can't move them, even if the thieves come, you can't do it. ”
For this kind of thinking, the older generation of figures do not agree with it at all, where do they understand the importance of real estate investment? On the contrary, he felt that only a fool like Bai Song would spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a house.
Looking at the empty house, how can you feel at ease with a real ticket?
Seeing that the people around him were disdainful, Bai Song turned to say: "If you don't want to invest, then find a money bank and exchange the silver for silver tickets." ”
"Money? Silver ticket? ”
During the Zhenguan period, these are still fresh words that have not appeared.
"The money bank is a special responsible institution for you to keep your property, you only need to hand over the property to the money bank, exchange the money for the bank's silver ticket, and when you need to use the money in the future, you will use the silver ticket to exchange for silver. If the silver is stolen, it is the responsibility of the bank, and it has nothing to do with the family. If the silver ticket is stolen, it can be reported to the money bank immediately for registration, and the silver ticket marked with the ticket number will be invalidated. ”
“……”
A group of old people heard it in a fog, but they vaguely felt that there was some truth.
Bai Song said this, not to solve their problems, but to plant grass for these old men first.
There are many flaws in his description, but he can give these people an idea of money.
The establishment of Qianzhuang was Bai Song's next plan, and speaking out on this occasion was also to pave the way for future implementation.
The masters of each family thought for a long time, and then began to ask their own questions.
Bai Song patiently explained to them, and after Bai Song was so around, the things discussed at the whole dinner were all biased towards Qian Zhuang and silver tickets.
"Alright, alright!" Li Zhan felt that the discussion was not in the right direction, and interrupted again, "We are now discussing the Holy Lotus Sect. This cult is doing mischief in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the court has suffered for a long time! ”
"Lord Wang, our group of people just want to protect themselves, but we can't think of too many ways to deal with the Holy Lotus Sect. Moreover, the Holy Lotus Sect is a matter of the imperial court, what does it have to do with us? ”
I don't know who said this, but Li Zhan was so angry that he didn't know what to say when he blew his beard, but he really couldn't have any confidence in these people.
Li Zhan got up, snorted angrily and prepared to leave.
Bai Song suddenly stood up and chased Li Zhan for a few steps.
"Lord Wang, have you been ordered by the emperor to deal with the Holy Lotus Sect?"
"......" Li Zhan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Bai Song vigilantly.
Bai Song sneered: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be nervous, although it is difficult and risky to deal with the White Lotus Sect, I do have a way." ”
"What's the method?"
"The so-called capture of the thief and capture the king first, as long as the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect is killed, will this Holy Lotus Sect collapse by itself?"
"No one in the world knows who the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect is, but what you said is easy."
"Why don't you insert an undercover agent into the Holy Lotus Sect?"
"Undercover? Who? ”
Bai Song pointed at himself.
Li Zhan was even more surprised: "You? ”
"That's right, I am not talented, but I am willing to help the court solve such troubles."
"You...... What is the purpose? ”
Bai Song touched his nose: "If I can help the prince get rid of the Holy Lotus Sect, can I ask the prince to promise the next thing?" ”
"What?"
"Please ask the prince to ask the emperor for a holy decree to marry Li Jing's granddaughter Li Shuwang?"
Bai Song said, his heart was excited, he remembered that he had personally promised Shu Wang that he would not only marry her, but also let the emperor give her a marriage.
If you can get rid of the Holy Lotus Sect as a condition, this is definitely the fastest and most effective shortcut!
Li Zhan was a little confused, he wasn't sure if Bai Song had anything to do with the Holy Lotus Sect, and now Bai Song took the initiative to break into the Holy Lotus Sect?
Even after living for more than eighty years, Li Zhan's mind was a little overwhelmed, and he said coldly: "Whimsical." ”
"Eh, lord, I'm serious! You think about it, I am a professional undercover agent, I have watched countless police and gangster movies, and my psychological quality is excellent, I don't believe I can tell you about the Infernal Affairs trilogy. ”
Bai Song really didn't expect his proposal to be rejected, and he was disappointed for a while.
At this time, the head of the Chen family caught up, and after a while of persuasion by the prince's side, he finally let him return to the banquet.
Today's discussion was a little bad, and Chen Fan stopped the topic.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, in short, in the future, everyone will communicate more and be unanimous with the outside world. Tonight is the Weihe Lantern Festival, just enjoy the stage.
My Chen family also invited the most popular Qingqi people to present a song, it is the Qing'er girl of Yichun Courtyard, everyone should be restless. ”
Turning his attention to the stage, the atmosphere was slightly calmer.
At this moment, Zheng Liangqiu, the young lady of the Zheng family, raised her glass and came to Bai Song's side to salute first, and then said, "Bai Gongzi, the little girl toasts you." ”
Bai Song raised his glass and drank it, and Zheng Liangqiu said again: "Bai Gongzi, why don't you move to the little woman's table, several sisters over there want to talk to Bai Gongzi." ”
Bai Song looked at the old faces around him, and felt bored, so he took the wine glass and went with Zheng Liangqiu.
Li Zhan watched Bai Song's every move, from the beginning of the determination to the current doubt, how to act tonight, he also had no idea.
