Chapter 54: Stratagem
It should have been a bad trip, but I didn't expect that after such a fuss, it would make Ding Lei, Zhao Ziqi and Zhao Yuan closer.
It's just that Zhao Sheng's face is unhappy, he is now a person on a boat, if he doesn't get on the boat, it will be a chopping board of fish and meat, and Ren Song's family will slaughter it.
Even though he was unhappy, he still turned into silence, pouring wine by himself, for Zhao Yuan and Zhao Ziqi, he was no longer able to control it, and for a while he had a feeling of old and vicissitudes, thinking of the calm of his life, it was not as good as Zhao Yuan and a few people were free and easy, married a woman who was also a child of a family, of course, he was also a member of the other party, but he didn't expect that he was incompetent. It's just that his wife Zhou has always stood aside, serving all year round, gentle as water, which moved him again and again. If it weren't for the gentleness and harmony of the Zhou family, his family might not have been able to run so properly.
Other people's families, big families, are full of lights and laughter every day, but in his "clean government", there is a trace of desolation, if it were not for the arrival of Ding Lei, the huge Zhao family at night, there is even a trace of terror.
Zhao Sheng has only married one wife in his life, and he can be regarded as loyal to his original match, even though the saying of "husband is wife" is Confucian truth for nearly a hundred years, he rarely listens to his wife's words occasionally. The Zhou family next to him was constantly pouring wine for Zhao Sheng, while Zhao Yuan and Zhao Ziqi mingled with Ding Lei.
Zhao Ziqi wanted Ding Lei to join them before, Ding Lei looked left and right, and first asked Lin Tong, Wang Wu and others for their opinions, except for Lin Tong, several people had no opinions. Wang Wu was already homeless and framed, and now he has no problem where to go, Gu Taiyan has always been an idle ranger, trying to find a suitable home, and Zhao Ziqi is opening a door for him to live in peace. Lin Tong didn't go, so he naturally had his reasons.
So Ding Lei said: "Then thanks to Brother Ziqi's care, I have the grace to save my life with Zhao Yuan, and I am fortunate to get acquainted, and now when I meet Brother Ziqi, I feel that it is bright and bright, and the future is immeasurable." β
"It's exaggerated, it's exaggerated, I, Zhao Ziqi, came here to live in Cangyan City, one is to play in the mountains and rivers, write books in leisure, and regulate my mood, the second is to recruit chivalrous warriors and help grow up, and the third is to support my cousin, he, now he has to come out, difficult, if you help, things can be advanced. Zhao Ziqi said.
Ding Lei smiled faintly, thought of something, and immediately looked solemn, and said: "Brother Ziqi, I want to know, what are you going to do?" Now the Song family can be said to be the largest family in Cangyan City, it is not so easy to bring down, I advise, if there is no way, hide first, and then make plans, after all, there are four-grade officials behind you, Cangyan City is not the leader, and you can be famous if you go to Tianjing." β
"Tianjing, you don't know, it's as solid as a rock, everyone sings, it's indeed a paradise, but since I came out, I have traveled and seen, I have seen a lot of poor people, life and death, but think that this world is not like Tianjing's heaven on earth, but the real dire water. Now that Great Xia has invaded again, it is like hell on earth, burning eyebrows, Tianjing is singing and dancing like this again, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be broken, and now the twelve counties of Fenglin are soliciting and scattering everywhere, and the Sanren League will be self-reliant, you can join the Sanren League, and you can also become my friend, our relationship is not a right-hand man, but a real chivalrous and chivalrous. Zhao Ziqi said generously and benevolently, which is eye-catching.
Ding Lei's "chivalrous list" did not show signs of becoming an ordinary friend, but it is conceivable that he was not sincere, but had other ideas.
Like Zhao Ziqi, there are many young people who want to be ambitious, Zhao Ziqi is more suitable for winning people's hearts than Zhao Yuan, in other words, he is not as simple as Zhao Yuan and has scheming.
Gu Taiyan said: "There is wine and minced meat, there is money, there are carriages and horses, there is incense and women, there is martial arts and sassy, this is enough." β
Wang Wu said with a smile on the side: "Gu Taiyan, when did you learn Brother Ding and Dai Fengqing, bite the text and chew the words, and say poetry and make the text?"
"No, no, I'm just on a whim, not poetry, I just think it's like this to my appetite, Zhao Ziqi, your life ideals, very much to my heart!" Gu Taiyan toasted a glass of wine, Zhao Ziqi quietly clinked glasses, and then drank it all.
Both of them are hearty.
Ding Leiye also smiled: "I was originally a literati, and now I am living here, I just want to be taken care of, since your Zhao family takes me in, it is the best." β
"Still. When Ding Lei spoke, he paused, his wine glass was halfway suspended, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face.
Zhao Ziqi said: "If you have something to say, since we are friends, then don't beat around the bush." β
Ding Lei's face pretended to struggle for a moment, and then said, "Brother Ziqi, I don't know how much you think I'm worth?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Ziqi said.
Ding Lei's eyebrows moved, and he said: "I mean, if you treat me as a friend, then friendship should be priceless, if you don't treat me as a friend, make a price, I will also help, righteousness." β
"You think too much, how could I not treat you as a friend, all friends, all friends!" Zhao Ziqi smiled dryly, the expression on his face was complicated, and he changed, and then took a sip of wine to cover his expression.
Lin Tong's eyes gathered on Ding Lei, and he bowed his head slightly, thoughtfully.
Gu Taiyan hadn't reacted yet, but Wang Wu understood, and hurriedly said: "Since Brother Zhao said that they are all friends, then after today, we will take care of each other, Ding Lei, how can we use the business words of Jianghu people?"
"I'm a physician who sells herbs, and it's a professional need, I'm sorry. Ding Lei, seeing that Zhao Ziqi avoided talking about it, hurriedly explained.
Zhao Ziqi waved his hand, looking generous: "It's okay, Brother Ding has one thing to say, the rules of the rivers and lakes, but I didn't make it clear." β
"That's it, let's talk about what will happen in a few days, if my father sends someone here, it's good, if you don't arrive at the battle, or even postpone, what we have to do will be a little troublesome, now we shouldn't alarm the general, first stabilize the situation, this pine Gao Fei, raise it first, let him eat and drink well, don't treat him badly, so as not to fall into the handle, and even let him have obvious injuries, so that we can better negotiate with the Song family." Zhao Ziqi said.
This sentence was deep in Zhao Yuan's mind, thinking of this cousin, he did have a hand, first soldier and then salute.
Ding Lei shook his head and said: "Brother Ziqi, I'm afraid you don't know that the Song family eats people and doesn't spit out bones, that Song Gaoxian is making a lot of trouble in Qiuyan Tower, it's hard to guarantee that they won't send someone to deal with your Zhao family, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the three sons, one has already been damaged, and the other is even more heartfelt, do you think they will negotiate well? The Zhao family is not the first family in Cangyan City, and even the Yu family and the Mu family are inferior. β
"So, what do you mean?" Zhao Ziqi felt that Ding Lei's words made some sense, and he didn't know much about the Song family.
At this time, Zhao Yuan told Zhao Ziqi about the affairs of Qiuyanlou, Qiuyanlou was actually a mysterious organization, which made Zhao Ziqi's eyes flash, and the Luoyanlou in Tianjing City appeared in his heart, and the difference between Qiuyanlou and Qiuyanlou was still deep-rooted, singing and dancing leveled up, occupying the mainstream, and the children of the family had admired it for a long time.
"What I mean is very simple, that is, to give them an empty city plan first, to temporarily empty the Zhao family, it is not our attitude to sit back and wait, be cautious, step by step, in order to seize the opportunity. Ding Leidao.
Zhao Ziqi thought for a while, but listened to Zhao Sheng pat the case and said: "You junior, do you know the situation of our business, give up if you say give up, even if it is for a while, what will it become in the eyes of others? β
Zhou hurriedly served on the side, making Zhao Sheng angry, and Zhao Sheng's anger subsided slightly.
Ding Lei was not provoked, but smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'll call you uncle." If your Zhao family doesn't move out, once the Song family gets angry and kills someone, they will only be detained at most, not sentenced to death. β
"Are you cursing our Zhao family?" Zhao Sheng said angrily.
Ding Lei waved his hand: "It's not that I'm cursing, but the fact, I have a way, Uncle Zhao, my aunt should be from the Zhou family, you go to live there for the time being, and by the way, quietly move Song Gaofei and the others away, as for where to put it safely, it's all up to Uncle Zhao and your guidance." β
Zhao Sheng's expression slowed slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Your method is okay, it's just that we have so many servants, once we mention it, our whereabouts are exposed, it's not the same?"
"If you can drag it out for a few days, take advantage of the night to pass, and a few of us from the rivers and lakes also happened to use their hands and feet to move Song Gaofei and others away, and secretly give food, once your Zhao family's Shaoqing sent someone here, it can be liquidated together, and we will also take the opportunity to retreat and retreat behind the scenes. Ding Lei analyzed the matter.
He didn't do these things in the past, until Zhong Liu broke his forehead and the "chivalrous list" entered it, and then he underwent a transformation.
Now he is more like a think tank, Zhao Ziqi nodded in approval of Ding Lei's words, from the secret disdain at the beginning, to now he does have a little admiration, even if he does not regard Ding Lei and others as friends in his heart, but there are contacts and contacts, and use is also a means.
Several people talked about some specific matters, Zhao Ziqi was ready, only owed Shi Wei, with his approval, Zhao Sheng was also slightly relievedββββ this Zhao Ziqi is a talented person after all, most of Zhao Yuan's books have his notes, he has been smart and witty since he was a child.
The night is late, the stars and the moon are hanging in the sky, the breeze is coming, the flowers and plants are rippling, the courtyard is silent and silent, Ding Lei and a few people are arranged to live in the huge Zhao family, the location is relatively close to the main house, and it is also to cope with the needs of the time.
Taking advantage of the night, Ding Rai did not rest, but left under the pretext, and came to the street in a blink of an eye.
Walking through the long street, the whole street is dim and difficult to see, the lights are around, by the moonlight, the street lamp, the faint light, Ding Lei came to the Linyun Inn.
He happened to have something to discuss with Dai Fengqing, and even decided to recommend Dai Fengqing to Zhao Yuan, the reason why he didn't recommend it to Zhao Ziqi was just because this Zhao Ziqi had different thoughts, he was not a pure reader, and he was afraid that Dai Fengqing would be played with.
