Chapter Ninety-Nine: Compromise

As soon as he heard this, the eyes of the old man in the green robe lying on the lap of the maid lit up, and he glanced at the other old man in the dark robe opposite, and had some calculations in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the middle-aged man in the Confucian robe landed in his voice, several old men present echoed him:

"Brother Zhou, according to Li, it is better to do what Dean Huang said, anyway, it didn't hurt anyone. ”

"Yes, Brother Zhou, don't hurt the harmony between us for the sake of a few subordinates!"

"That's right, that's right, Brother Zhou, this is not a big deal. Since Dean Huang has said so, you might as well be forgiving and forgiving, why make everyone feel bad?"

The old man in the Chinese costume sitting on the main seat couldn't see that these people had already been bought by the middle-aged man in the Confucian robe. But fortunately, he was also prepared, he glanced at the three old men sitting on his left hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, there were more people than others, who was afraid of whom! He cleared his throat:

"Brother Li, Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, what the three of you said is also reasonable. However, there are no rules, let's ......"

Before the old man in the fancy dress finished speaking, the old man in the green robe lying on the lap of the maid suddenly slapped the table, stood up and said, "Brother Zhou is right, there are no rules!"

The corners of the mouth of the old man in the gorgeous clothes who were interrupted twitched, and his years of cultivation made him hold back and not break out, but the eyes of the old man in the green robe also became unkind. If it weren't for such an occasion, he would definitely have to make the old pervert pay the price! He held back his anger and looked at the old man in the green robe viciously and said word by word: "Brother Liu, let me say it well!"

The old man in the green robe who stood up ignored the gaze of the old man in the fancy clothes, but said to himself: "Brother Zhou doesn't have to be like this, everyone understands people." I came here today to discuss the fact that Dean Huang's subordinates broke the rules. Lao Liu, I don't want to see you talk about it, let's just make it clear! Those things outside the city were originally arranged by a few of us in order to suppress those mud legs who want to be on top. But I didn't expect that after finishing it, everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Even the old Wang family, who had always looked down on us, intervened in the pot, and this time it directly blew up, and the big forces of the underworld and the white way all came to Jiangzhou City and set up a mountain outside the city. The mud legs were suppressed, but the wind direction in Jiangzhou City became more chaotic. Even the old Wang family was a little unable to suppress it, so we contacted those of us who were setting up a hill outside the city and set a rule that they could not rob each other. ”

"What is it for? Don't you just want outsiders to think that we local snakes are all of the same heart, so that they want to move us and we have to weigh it! Even the old Wang family feels that they can't suppress the people outside the city, and they want to join forces with us, but now you want to kick the Huang family out. This makes me wonder, are you going to take refuge in some kind of force, ready to divide us landlords, and then take them down for us one by one?"

As soon as these words came out, all the old men in the hall stared at the old man in Chinese clothes on the main seat, and even the three old men who had been befriended in advance by the old man in Chinese clothes also looked at him with suspicion. The old man in the Chinese costume was a little overwhelmed, and kept saying "this, this, this" in his mouth, but in the end, there was no reason for "this".

I only listened to the hall of several old men who spoke for the middle-aged man in Confucian robes, and began to whisper:

"I'll just say why Brother Zhou got angry all of a sudden, it turns out that there is a backstage!"

"Well, although Old Man Liu is a little more colorful, this is true, and now Jiangzhou City is in chaos like this. Not counting the forces on the rivers and lakes, just say that the official forces are in chaos, obviously this Jiangzhou city is hereditary to the Wang family, but there is a Jiangzhou herdsman, and now there is a prince, obviously he has an idea about Jiangzhou City. In this kind of game of big shots, we small families are not even as good as ants, if we don't huddle together to keep warm, isn't that looking for death!"

"That's it, that's it! It seems that Brother Zhou has long been of the same mind as us!"

Hearing these words, the old man in the fancy dress on the main seat blew his beard angrily and glared, but he knew that he still couldn't be angry now, and these people would talk nonsense even more when they were angry. The old man in Chinese clothes clenched his fists, sat on the main seat and took a deep breath, thinking about how to refute the words of the old man in Tsing Yi.

At this moment, the old man in Xuanyi opposite the old man in Tsing Yi also stood up, and started to make peace. I only heard him open his mouth and say: "Brother Liu, you are a little thin when you say that! In my opinion, Brother Zhou is only angry because the caravan was robbed in his own territory, so he will think about separating the Huang family. Let me ask all of you present, if you buy a roast chicken from the south of the city, return to your home in the north of the city, and are about to open it and eat it, and suddenly your brother's dog comes out and takes the roast chicken away, will you also be angry? Do you also want to clean up your brother? This is human nature! Besides, the Zhou family has been in Jiangzhou City for generations, and Lao Zhou has dealt with us for so many years, don't you know his temperament? Don't you still worry about him?

Hearing what the old man in Xuanyi said, the old men present all fell into deep thought, even the old man in gorgeous clothes on the main seat was no exception. Of course, these people will not be reminded of the past because of a few words from the old man in Xuanyi, they are just weighing the interests in their hearts. Although this person likes to be nostalgic as soon as he gets older, it may be more sophistication.

The six old men who sat down, whether they supported Dean Huang or the Zhou family. They all have their own little abacus, and the old man in Tsing Yi is right, the current Jiangzhou City is no longer the Jiangzhou City that only had a family when they were young.

A hundred years ago, the Yang family ascended to Dabao, unified the south of the Qingyun River, and ruled the Great Zhou River in the north. In order to envelop the family forces in the territory, the land of the six state capitals was given to the Zhang family of Shuzhou, the Wang family of Jiangzhou, the Gao family of Tongzhou, the Ye family of Jiaozhou, the Chen family of Yunzhou, and the Li family of Qiongzhou as hereditary fiefs. But a hundred years have passed, and the current Yang family is no longer the Yang family that still needed to rely on domestic forces back then.

Now the six major families and the three major schools in the territory have long become a stumbling block on the road to the development of the Great Sui Imperial Court. If it weren't for the fear that these forces would unite and attack in groups, the imperial court would have sent troops to exterminate them one by one.

How can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, everyone here understands this truth, they know that if the Wang family falls, this Jiangzhou City will inevitably experience a bloody storm. No one dares to guarantee that their family will be able to carry it. So the most important thing for them now is to seek stability, and to leave a way back for their own family. Therefore, whether it is the Zhou family, which may have taken refuge in outside forces, or the Huang family, who has broken the rules, cannot be offended.

So the best way at the moment is to beat the roast chicken dog to death as Vice President Huang said at the beginning, without hurting the feelings between the two brothers. After thinking about it, the three people who originally supported the old man in Chinese clothes took the lead and said: "I think it's better to do what Dean Huang said, I can't hurt the harmony for this matter, I think the Wang family doesn't come, and I don't want us to tear our faces." Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

The old man in Chinese clothes also knew that the general trend had gone at this time, but he didn't expect the old man Liu, who had always been squinting, to be so able to say this, and suddenly disrupted his layout. I saw him sigh, as if he had aged a few years all of a sudden, and waved his hand: "Just do what Dean Huang wants, I hope the same thing won't happen again." ”

After going around in such a big circle, it turned out to be such a result, and Vice President Huang himself couldn't believe it. Originally, he also invited someone from the Wang family as a backhand, but he didn't expect that this backhand would not be used. He thanked everyone solemnly, and finally felt a little more comfortable. Now there is only the matter of exterminating Qinghu Village, and it is useless to keep the disobedient dogs. He is going to let people go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to send another gift, and strive to send troops to destroy Qinghu Village as soon as possible, and settle this matter. In fact, there was no need to be so troublesome, send a few generals to go, and the bandits in Qinghu Village could be wiped out. But in order to convince the people of the Zhou family, he didn't kill a few people casually to make up the numbers, so he had to spend money to invite officers and soldiers to suppress bandits.

Lu Qi didn't know that the fate of his cottage was decided like this.
