Chapter 133: Peace Agreement
There was an uproar in the audience, and they all gave Guo Yitian white eyes and ridicule. Guo Yitian had a feeling of betrayal and separation, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Zhao Keran couldn't help but say: "Everyone sees that the prisoner has admitted that he is from the Dragon Gate, facts speak louder than words, Guo Yitian, what else do you have to say?"
When the six major sects all decided that the Dragon Gate was an evil sect, they all despised the Dragon Gate Master Guo Yitian. Cao Zheng secretly rejoiced that Guo Yitian would also be treated as a street rat - everyone shouted and beaten. This chaotic situation is exactly what Cao Zheng wants to see. Although Xiang Wentian respects Guo Yitian's youth and promisingness, as Longmen's reputation gets worse and worse, he firmly believes that Yihe is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the tragedy of Wang Xiaolong's family.
Mei Ruoxue sweated in her heart, and she loved and hated Guo Yitian. Guo Yitian said angrily: "I see that this is a farce with ulterior motives, the rules of the Longmen Gate are very strict, and it is impossible to teach this kind of scum." If someone maliciously slanders Longmen, why should they invite the high-level leaders of the six major sects to watch Longmen's jokes. This is undoubtedly slander, and I will send someone to find out the true details of the culprit. Please take a little time with the dragon gate, and do not be arrogant and prejudiced. ”
Zhao Keran felt that public opinion was on his side, and said with a light smile: "What does Master Guo mean is that I am specifically targeting you? I am a dignified martial arts supreme, recognized as the number one in the world." Tomorrow is the date for the annual election of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and I invited the six major sects to send them, but I didn't expect such an episode to appear, and the performance of the dragon gate was really disappointing. As far as I know, Yihezhai is the predecessor of Longmen, and most of the bandits in it are not of high quality. I suggest disbanding the Dragon Gate, and the disciples inside who are willing to accept the transformation can go to other sects. If you don't behave properly, then go back to farming. ”
Guo Yitian said bluntly: "Don't spray people with blood, our Longmen talents are numerous, but we don't say disbanded." Yihe business is spread all over Tokyo, benefiting one party. Although there are only more than 1,000 people in Longmen, everyone does their part, and there is no scum like you said. Longmen's business is booming, and at the same time, it also pays a lot of protection fees to your sect. I just hope that this matter doesn't make a big fuss, otherwise it won't be good for everyone. ”
Zhao Keran sneered: "Big things can be turned into small things, but the price paid is to pay ten times more protection fees." Otherwise, just wait for Longmen to be surrounded and suppressed!"
This was undoubtedly a thunderbolt from the blue, giving Longmen a major blow. Guo Yitian said angrily: "Since we have said everything, we have ten branches in Tokyo, distributed in all walks of life. The monthly protection fee is three hundred taels of silver, which is already the biggest compromise Longmen has made. If you pay ten times more protection fees, you will undoubtedly not be allowed to do business. You are the leader of the alliance, and I hope you can be reasonable, so that it is good for everyone. ”
Zhao Keran said inch by inch: "The quality of the people in the Dragon Gate is really flattering. It's okay not to pay the protection fee, but there is only one option left for you, and that is to transfer the management rights of the Boxer business and take over by the Star Faction. We can give 10% of the profits to Longmen, so it won't hurt both factions, right?"
Because this move touched the core interests of Longmen, Guo Yitian couldn't bear it anymore. wanted to fight, but the other party was the leader of the martial arts alliance. If you choose to remain silent, you won't be able to account when you go back.
The five major sects all wanted to see the jokes of Longmen, and each had different little calculations. As for tomorrow's alliance leader, it has not changed hands for five consecutive years. The five major parties basically didn't dare to ask for the position of the leader of the alliance, but they gloated a little over the rookie Longmen.
Xiang Wentian drank a lot of wine, and he was able to ignore it in a tense atmosphere.
Mei Ruoxue was a little indignant, although she still had a little bit of a grudge against Guo Yitian, but she was even more disdainful of the aggressive Zhao Keran. This is not a win-win cooperation, it is clearly a robbery, and it is even inferior to the righteous bandits in Yihezhai. Zhao Keran's ambition to annex Tokyo Yihe is clearly revealed, and if he is satisfied, it will be a serious disruption to the normal order of the rivers and lakes.
Thinking of the picture of Guo Yitian sacrificing himself to save others on Mei's father's 60th birthday, Mei Ruoxue still put the overall situation first and decided to come forward to relieve him.
The little girl Mei Ruoxue felt that there must be a misunderstanding, and the signboard of Yihe was well-known in Suzhou City. Now that he has opened 10 chain stores in Tokyo, his business is booming, but it is inevitable that others will covet it. Mei Ruoxue changed her words and asked in front of the prisoner, "You said that you are from Suzhou, how come I have never seen you at the mobilization meeting in Longmen." ”
The prisoner was shocked, and hurriedly explained: "The villain is a newcomer, and he has just joined Longmen, so it is not surprising that you don't know the villain. ”
Mei Ruoxue said step by step: "I heard that the disciples of Longmen are all assigned to other places after some formal vocational training, and you are obviously fooling people when you say that you are a newcomer." ”
Zhao Keran couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "He is making a living in Tokyo, because he was hired as a Longmen servant in Yihe's recruitment. ”
Mei Ruoxue smiled and asked the prisoner, "Since you are a new member of Yihe, you should also know the names of the four protectors of the Dragon Gate, can you come one by one?" Including the bandit three brothers and Yu Luoluo. ”
Guo Yitian was a little confused, asking these questions that everyone knows, even if he is not a person in Longmen, he can answer them, so his face looks a little anxious. Mei Ruoxue affirmed: "The answer is correct. As a servant of the Dragon Gate, I must have a deep impression of the direct person in charge of Tokyo Yihe. So what the little woman wants to ask is who among the four protectors is in charge of the business of Tokyo Yihe?"
Guo Yitian already had the answer in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that Mei Ruoxue's ice and snow were smart, and his admiration was not good, so he had to hide it in his heart.
The prisoner thought for a while, but was speechless. Guo Yitian asked: "If you can't answer, it proves that you are not from the Dragon Gate." All those who wantonly insult the reputation of the Dragon Gate should be punished and taken as a warning. The prisoner calmed down and thought for a while, and eliminated Yu Luoluo, and the second bandit had the best business mind among the three bandit brothers, and replied: "Do you need to talk about that? Of course, the second bandit is in charge of the business of Tokyo Yihe. ”
Mei Ruoxue walked up to the alliance leader and pointed out: "It is Li Yu who is in charge of the Boxer business in Tokyo, not the second bandit he said. So I dare to pack a ticket and say that he is by no means a person in the Dragon Gate, and there must be a misunderstanding in it. Longmen has always paid attention to honesty in doing business, and it is impossible to teach this kind of scum. Please be aware of the alliance leader, and don't let people with ulterior motives cause unnecessary trouble to Yihe. ”
Zhao Keran was making calculations in his heart, and the game that he carefully laid out was exposed by Mei Ruoxue. Zhao Keran still laughed and said: "Miss Mei is really smart, and a few simple interrogations will expose the impostor." A few of you will put this lawless man down and hand him over to the government. ”
The Xingchen disciples on both sides took the prisoners away. Guo Yitian lost no time in saying: "Then is the protection fee of Yihe fulfilled according to the original promise?" Zhao Keran continued to practice hegemonism and said without humility: "No! Yihe is a business done by a group of bandits, and it is an unstable factor in the city. Ten times the protection fee must be paid, otherwise it will be more than this price if the matter is bigger. ”
Mei Ruoxue in the field frowned, and her heart was very uneven. Cao Zheng and Xiang Wentian on the field were originally dissatisfied with Guo Yitian, and now they gloated even more. Cao Zhengdao: "Yes, I support the decision of the alliance leader, Yihe is a rabble. Not paying more protection money is not enough to take this as a warning!"
Guo Yitian's sword eyebrows released a light of uncompromising in his eyes, and said: "The alliance leader's words are wrong, although we are the home of bandits, but now that Yihe has changed its appearance, it is not what it used to be. Ten times the protection fee will definitely not work, three hundred taels is three hundred taels, this is a previously negotiated agreement, and it can't be changed overnight. ”
Zhao Keran said aggressively: "Is there such an agreement between me and you? I don't seem to have said it." It is an indisputable fact that bandits will always be bandits, even if they are transformed into bandits. The previous protection fee was 1,000 taels of silver per month, but you didn't pay it all, and said that you would pay it later when you had enough funds. However, when the faction repeatedly demanded protection fees, the Boxer still postponed the date again and again. Now that the master of the Guo Sect is also present, has he paid all the previous protection fees?"
There was a sigh of embarrassment in the audience, and the six major sects all knew that there was a big event in the Longmen stall. Guo Yitian argued: "You go back on your word first, and it is impossible to pay more protection money." Justice is at ease in people's hearts. If it can be resolved peacefully, it will be resolved peacefully, and if it cannot be resolved peacefully, it will have to be resolved by force. ”
The audience suddenly boiled, and the six major sects sneered at Longmen.
"I see that the head of the Longmen Gate Master is in the water, and he actually provokes the authority of the alliance leader in front of him. ”
"Isn't it? In terms of force, the master of the Dragon Gate Gate is really beyond his own strength!"
"I've seen arrogance, I've never seen such arrogance. Guo Yitian, this kid, was simply mad, and he actually said such unashamed words in the face of the martial arts alliance leader. ”
This fell into Zhao Keran's hands, and he responded: "All sects, please be quiet for a while. Since the contradiction over the payment of protection money has reached the point of irreconcilability, then I hope to have a discussion with Master Guo tomorrow. There is no one more powerful than me in the whole world, who made me the leader of the fifth alliance. For example, Longmen or Humen are third-rate sects, and I don't bother to talk to them. Since justice is in the hearts of the people, as the leader of the alliance, I can't bully the weak. If you can carry my ten tricks tomorrow, you will do as you say if you pay as much protection money, and if you can't resist, Tokyo Yihe will be handed over to the Star Faction to take over, and you won't get any share. Sect Master Guo thinks it's good to be like this?"
Mei Ruoxue had also heard privately that Zhao Keran had always been eyeing the business of Tokyo Yihe, and his martial arts were outstanding, even if the top disciples or even the heads of the six major sects would be defeated within ten moves. Mei Ruoxue looked at Guo Yitian and shook her head, worried: "Master Guo, don't promise him!"
Guo Yitian glanced at Mei Ruoxue, but he had no choice, and plucked up the courage to say: "Okay! ”
