"Master Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Jia Shilang's face changed, and he asked with a little displeasure: "Do you think that the Prime Minister and the official will harm you?"

Shen Dongshan was not annoyed, he still shook his head lightly and smiled: "I have no such intention." Shen has been in business for decades, going south and north

I have seen some of the world, I know a little bit about the world, and I know the truth that you get what you pay for. Whatever is 'complimentary' must be sought, and whenever 'cheap' is encountered, there must be eccentricity. For decades, what Shen has seen and heard, no one who gets carried away and is greedy for cheap has not been deceived. All kinds of men and women, without exception! Even so, there are still many people who can't control themselves in the face of 'cheapness', and they don't understand this truth, but they knowingly commit it, and adults know why?"

"Why?" replied in an unkind tone.

"One, greed. Both, fluke. Shen Dongshan said with a smile, "People live in the world and treat people and things, and they can't always rely on the word 'luck'." Whoever encounters 'great luck' will be accompanied by a 'great calamity'. There is a way that blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and blessings and misfortunes lurk, which is exactly this principle. Therefore, when Shen does business with others, he would rather suffer a loss than be cheap, and even deliberately give it to others. Because of this, there is today's Dongshan firm. ”

Jia Shilang's fingers tapped the teacup lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Shen can have today's status, self-cultivation and prudence are important, but it is only one of them. In addition, Master Shen should not forget the second. ”

Shen Dongshan was not shocked, and said indifferently: "I wish to be taught!"

"Do you remember your former best friend Tang Jin?" Jia Shilang said contemptuously, "Master Shen, have you forgotten? The Tang family was the richest man in Jiangnan back then, Tang Jin was young and promising, and he should have an unlimited future. But twenty-four years ago, the Tang Mansion was burned and looted by twenty-five thieves, and the Tang family, which was once prosperous, was reduced to ashes overnight, and the Tang family was sixty-four people, only Tang Jin's youngest son escaped by luck, and the rest all died tragically. Everyone knows that Shen Dongshan and Tang Jin are good friends, the young son of the Tang family is young and frail, and he can only defect to you, I expected you to avenge the Tang family, but unexpectedly, you deceived the orphan of the Tang family, not only did not really help him, but also took the opportunity to deceive all the shops and trade names of the Tang family from him. The Tang family has 27 money houses, 31 silk villages, 15 rice shops, 17 restaurants, and two horse farms...... Under the little fingerprints of the young son of the Tang family, who is not yet illiterate, it will be sent into your pocket in vain. Therefore, there is the first business name of the Great Song Dynasty that is famous all over the world today. Master Shen, if the Tang family had not suffered, if you had not deceived the orphans of the Tang family by despicable means, then the number one business name in the Great Song Dynasty today would not be surnamed 'Shen', but surnamed 'Tang'!"

Jia Shilang brought up the old matter again, which made the smile on Shen Dongshan's face gradually solidify, and Feng Tianba, who was standing on the side, was also secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but have a look of disdain in his eyes when he looked at Shen Dongshan.

"It's not all. Jia Shilang continued, "After you cheated everything from the Tang family, you were rich and wealthy in the world, but you ruthlessly poisoned and murdered the orphans of the Tang family, wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. In order to avoid the government's investigation, after you fed the poison, you threw the orphans of the Tang family on the street and asked him to beg and wait for death. Fortunately, on the road to endless people, the orphan of the Tang family was rescued by a person with strong martial arts before he died of poison, and finally not only picked up a small life, but also practiced a peerless martial arts by chance. ”

At this moment, Feng Tianba finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Dare to ask your lord, this orphan of the Tang family you are talking about...... Are you still alive today?"

"Of course!" Jia Shilang said with a smile, "But it's a pity that although the orphan of the Tang family picked up a small life, when he was rescued, the poison had already penetrated into the brain, so that after he recovered, his memories of the past became intermittent and blurry. One of the most interesting is ...... The orphan of the Tang family still can't recall the name given to him by his father and mother in the past. ”

"What should I do then?" Feng Tianba ignored Shen Dongshan, who had a cloudy face, and still asked intently.

Although he couldn't remember his name, he clearly remembered that the Tang family used to call him by his name in the past. Therefore, he became known as a milk name, and it has been used to this day. Jia Shilang stared at Shen Dongshan, who was embarrassed, with great interest, and sneered, "As for what his milk name is, Master Shen still remembers it vividly." After all, he was a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that made Master Shen sleep. Hehe......"

Facing Jia Shilang's smile hidden in the knife, Shen Dongshan's right hand holding the teacup became tighter and tighter, and the bone joints were already slightly white.

"What's his name......

"Hey!" Without waiting for Feng Tianba to ask, Kui Qi suddenly looked at him fiercely, and said coldly, "You shouldn't ask, you don't ask!"

"Nonsense!" Feng Tianba is also a hot person, just a little bit, and immediately choked up, "Lao Tzu didn't ask you, you yelled a fart!"

"Celestial. Jia Shilang grabbed the words before Kui Qi refuted them, and said, "This is Master Shen's territory, don't be rude!" Master Shen, when the orphans of the Tang family went to the Yamen to avenge their grievances, if it wasn't for the Prime Minister to help you suppress this matter, how would you have such a happy life today?"

Suddenly, Shen Dongshan, who was pale, laughed out loud unscrupulously, and there was a bit of bohemianism in his laughter.

Seeing this, Jia Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Why is Master Shen laughing?"

"It's okay! It's okay!" Shen Dongshan waved his hand and smiled, "I'm laughing at these things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, and Master Lao Jia is so obsessed with it, and he even doesn't forget to remind Shen all the time." Thank you! Thank you! haha......"

After that, Shen Dongshan turned his strange gaze directly at Feng Tianba, and said jokingly: "Everyone knows about this matter in the world, doesn't Feng Escort know......? Ah Fu!"

"Ah Fu?" Feng Tianba was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself, "Ah Fu? Ah Fu...... Tang Jin, Tang Afu, Tang ......"

As for this, Feng Tianba's face changed suddenly, and a thick look of shock instantly appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously exclaimed: "Tang Afu, the orphan of the Tang family turned out to be the 'ruthless swordsman' Tang Afu?"

"It's this person. Shen Dongshan said frankly, "But Ah Fu has some misunderstandings about me, I didn't want to take away his family business back then, I was just worried that he was young and ignorant and was deceived by others." I am close friends with Don King, so I just help him take care of his business. I told Ah Fu that as long as he is willing to return to me, I can now hand over all the Dongshan Firm to him, so that he can understand my good intentions. People in the world have always liked to speculate maliciously, which is why they have made up some nonsense rumors to ruin my reputation. However, Shen Mouqing is self-purifying, and he is not afraid of shadows, so let them say it, I am worthy of my heart. ”

Regarding Shen Dongshan's explanation, Feng Tianba scoffed. He knows very well that in the mouth of people like Shen Dongshan, there has always been no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are reversed, in short, it is difficult to have a truth.

"True or false. Jia Shilang said with a straight face, "I said this just to remind Master Shen that the prime minister and the official are your friends, we have been helping you and have never harmed you." Therefore, we also hope that Master Shen can stand up and help generously when the imperial court is in danger. ”

The reason why Jia Shilang brought up Tang Afu's matter again was not to deliberately embarrass Shen Dongshan, but to deliberately remind Shen Dongshan that he had his handle in his hand.

Jia Shilang asked Shen Dongshan to recognize who was the lord and who was the slave between him and the imperial court?

This kind of thing is going to stop, and it's too much. Jia Shilang is well versed in this, so Jia Shilang did not expose Shen Dongshan's "self-justification", and even rounded the field for him.

When negotiating, there is only grace, not threat, and the opponent is bound to gain an inch. But there is only power, and there is no grace, and it is difficult to protect things. Among them, it still needs a scheming person like Jia Shilang to handle it properly.

"If I don't regard the Prime Minister and Lord Jia as friends, how can I pass on the letter to Lin'an as soon as I receive the news from Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu?" Sure enough, Shen Dongshan's words became much softer than the tough one just now.

Although Shen Dongshan was dissatisfied with Jia Shilang's "threat", he did not dare to be an enemy of the imperial court. So his attitude changed, he took the initiative to lower his posture and pleaded: "Master Jia, since you have helped Shen so many times, why don't you lend a helping hand again today?" ”

"I don't know how Master Shen wants this official to help?" Jia Shilang asked rhetorically.

"In the Prime Minister's heart, does he want me to help Luo Tianjin, or does he want me to help Jin Fuyu?" Shen Dongshan said frankly, "This matter is related to many decisions in the future, and please tell Lord Jia frankly!"

In the face of Shen Dongshan's repeated questions, Jia Shilang hesitated again and again, and looked at him for a long time before he sighed and said quietly: "That's it! What does the prime minister mean...... In fact, it is more inclined to the Xianwang Mansion. ”

"Luo Tianjin?" Shen Dongshan seemed to have expected this, and nodded slowly, "In this way, we must try to let Luo Tianjin take the initiative in this dispute." ”

"The Prime Minister doesn't want to see fights and fights. Jia Shilang added, "But I don't want to see this matter end in nothing." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Dongshan's eyes changed, and he asked rhetorically, "What does it mean to die without illness?"

"There are many ways to turn hostility into friendship, and 'reconciliation as before' may not be the best choice. Jia Shilang said meaningfully, "What the Prime Minister means is that since the various factions of the martial arts have reached this juncture, it is not only a 'disaster', but also a once-in-a-lifetime 'good opportunity'. Everything is just as Master Shen just said, the blessing of the evil depends on it, and the blessing of the disaster lurks. The Prime Minister wants Master Shen to take this opportunity to use a false trick to destroy the enemy and win the ......"

"How about fighting?" Shen Dongshan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked.

"Strive to pass this turmoil and let Luo Tianjin ...... Unify the martial arts and completely end the split situation of the confrontation between the north and the south of the martial arts. Jia Shilang said bluntly.

"Shhh

Hearing this, Shen Dongshan couldn't help but gasp, and said in surprise: "The Prime Minister means to get rid of the golden ......."

"Master Shen!" Before Shen Dongshan could finish speaking, Jia Shilang suddenly interrupted, "You should understand what the Prime Minister means, you don't need to say more, so as not to have ears on the wall." ”

"But ......" Shen Dongshan frowned, and asked with a suspicious face, "The Prime Minister has always wanted to recruit the various factions of An Wulin and serve the imperial court in the future. If Luo Tianjin is allowed to dominate the martial arts, he will be a thousand times more arrogant in the future than he is today. To put it bluntly, when the time comes, Luo Tianjin will be the native emperor of the Central Plains martial arts, and how can he be willing to be subordinate to others? How can he accept the imperial court's recruitment? In this way, it is better to divide the north and the south, so that they will be suspicious of each other and contain each other. In this way, the imperial court can still have some weight in their hearts......"

"This matter does not bother Master Shen. Jia Shilang said with a straight face, "The Prime Minister has his own high opinions, how can you and I be allowed to speculate at will?"

"Could it be...... The Prime Minister still has a move?" Shen Dongshan muttered to himself, "Can you force Luo Tianjin to accept the imperial court's recruitment in the future?"

"Master Shen!" Jia Shilang's face sank, and he said angrily, "There are some things that you know as little as possible, what you should be thinking about now is how to make Luo Tianjin 'look forward to it' without triggering the battle in the rivers and lakes." ”

"This ......" Shen Dongshan was speechless for a while, scratching his head again and again, "Jin Jianwu and the four great families are not vegetarians, and it is not easy for them to resolve their rivalry with the six major sects. Now I still want them to succumb to Luo Tianjin, but I am afraid that ...... It's hard to climb!"

"It's because it's not easy, that's why I want to ask Master Shen to make a move!" Jia Shilang said with a sneer, "Master Shen, I have told you the thoughts of the Prime Minister, I hope you can behave yourself, don't let the court down!"

Shen Dongshan's face was gloomy, and he smiled bitterly: "Master Jia, you know that Shen has always been 'timid and afraid of things', this time you really want to force me to death......"

"Master Shen, if this matter cannot be resolved smoothly, not only will your future be in jeopardy, but even the official, the Prime Minister, and even the Great Song Dynasty will be implicated. Jia Shilang sighed helplessly, "Only those who are 'timid and afraid' can find a way to live in troubled times." If you are 'not afraid', you will only be brave for a while, but you are afraid that you will not even know how to die in the end. Hehe......"

"Thanks to the Prime Minister and Lord Jia, even if Shen gives up his life, he will definitely be loyal to the court. Shen Dongshan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "But if you want to promote this, I'm afraid it's not enough for Shen alone......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Shen asked for a sign in front of the Buddha today, and signed the 'Su Qin Hanging Seal', which is also a fulfillment when I think about it now. Shen Dongshan laughed at himself, "With a three-inch tongue, Shen can try his best." But only if it ...... Can Master Jia give me the next 'Great Seal'?"

"Great Yin?" Jia Shilang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Master Shen wants to be an official?"

"Definitely!" Shen Dongshan waved his hand and smiled, "Shen has no intention of being an official, but if he wants to promote this, he must be gracious and powerful." 'En' mostly refers to 'profit', and Shen has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and he doesn't dare to bother adults. But 'might' doesn't have 'power' and can't be fully displayed, so Shen needs more ...... now Official authority. ”

"Guanwei?" Master Jia didn't know why, and said suspiciously, "What is Guanwei?"

"I have already come up with a strategy to deal with people in the rivers and lakes, or it may have a miraculous effect. But ......" At this point, Shen Dongshan couldn't help but hesitate, staring at Jia Shilang with a meaningful gaze, and said with a smile, "But I want to borrow something from the adults first." ”

"What's that?"

Hearing this, Shen Dongshan suddenly got up, bowed respectfully to Jia Shilang who was dazed, and said, "I have the courage to borrow Lord Jia's official seal for the time being, just in case of emergency!"

......
