Chapter 2, Section 3, Simon's Covenant (II) 157
Ximen Qingyuan turned his head and said proudly: "The old man talks to the adults of your family, what does it matter to you! Whether to kill or not to kill, whether to return to hiding is the old man's business? Whether to ensure the safety of the next person is the business of the adults of your family, and this is the condition I prescribed." What's your business!"
When the white eagle heard this, he was furious, and he stood up and was about to make a move, how dare the black eagle fall behind, and he was about to make a move when he stepped forward.
Ren Tianqi waved his hand, stopped the two, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ximen can think like this, this official can't ask for it, it is the luck of this official, and it is also the luck of the common people, but I don't know if Mr. wants this official to protect you for a while, or to protect you for a lifetime? If Mr. Ximen can go out of Yangzhou, will this official still have to send someone to protect him? Please also explain clearly." β
Ximen Qingyuan smiled and said: "The old man only needs the adult to ensure that I am safe and sound in Yangzhou for two years, once I get out of Yangzhou, I don't need to worry about the adult." β
Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, this condition is agreed by the official." But I don't know what Mr. Simon just said, but there is a plan for it?"
Ximen Qingyuan smiled: "Of course. The old man asked the lord to make a list to tell the world, and after seven days, the old man washed his hands in front of the gold plate in front of the helmsman of the Zhujiazhuang Fireworks League, and handed over all the account books and gold and silver treasures of the Fireworks League; within these seven days, everyone can come to me to ask for the old debts, but the grievances, everything in the Fireworks League is taken care of by the old man; after these seven days, the old man is an old man in the people, and he can't kill or live again, and the adults will have to take on the duty of guarding. β
Ren Tianqi was happy, hey, my old father-in-law is really good at acting, if you don't ask me to come forward to protect me, look at Fei Mei's face, I can't sit idly by. It's just that in the past few decades, I don't know what this old man has done, who he has killed, anyway, he is a help, so he turned his head and looked at a little red, and saw that a little red was also looking at himself, so he smiled, turned his head to Ximen Qingyuan and said: "Cheng, just listen to Mr. Ximen." The official made it clear that he had made a notice. β
Ximen Qingyuan nodded, got up and came to the door of the hall, clapping his hands.
I saw two big men outside carrying a large wooden box into the hall, put it in the hall, and bowed out.
Everyone was puzzled and looked straight at Ximen Qingyuan.
Ximen Qingyuan hugged his fist towards Ren Tianqi and said with a smile: "Here is 10,000 taels of gold, just take it as a little bit of the old man's heart, and I hope the adults will laugh at it." β
Ren Tianqi was hesitating in his heart, he didn't know what to do, he saw Ximen Qingyuan give his hand, said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the hall, got up and left his seat, and was about to send him off, when he saw the black eagle tiptoeing behind Ximen Qingyuan, raising his hand and waving his fist, making a grimace, Ren Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and sat on the chair.
Everyone sat in the hall, thinking about how sincere the three-eyed Guanyin was in what he had said.
Ren Tianqi's heart is quite bright, and he feels that the old father-in-law wants to deceive himself unreasonably, not only does that make Feimei embarrassed, but Ximen Qingyuan is also self-cutting and the world, and the last way to save himself is almost the best possibility. Indeed, as long as Ximen Qingyuan can give up everything he dreams of, no matter how big the enemy is, even if the small court of Lin'an wants to arrest Ximen Qingyuan, saying that he wants to find a stable place to live in his life, with Ren Tianqi's power and ability, it will be easy. Others don't understand the relationship between Ren Tianqi and Ximen Qingyuan, and they are suspicious and suspicious of the three-eyed Guanyin gold plate, and they don't believe it at all. But Ren Tianqi still can't figure out that Ximen Qingyuan wants to give himself such a big gift, is it really to the end of the mountains and rivers, or has other plans; what makes him even more dilemma is that although he says that he is sitting on Tongyang Erzhou, but it is not justifiable, the people of the world are quite slight, the people are very uneasy, and all the people in the world are not afraid to criticize and write, and it is also thanks to a group of old officials such as Yingguiquan who sincerely worship themselves and fulfill their duties, and the people have never complained; and now if he says that he will risk the world's greatness to protect Ximen Qingyuan and make waves against the wind, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the society in the rivers and lakesγ
Black Eagle rolled his eyes and said: "This old thing of Ximen has killed and injured so many subordinates, and now it is about to become a lost dog, it must be that there are too many enemies outside and too many enemies, and now people have come to the door when they hear the news." Hmph, there is a lot of money and a fart, and "Mu Xiliu used to be called rich in the world", who called him rich and unkind, and did some things that hurt the heavens and reason, only then did he remember to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and wanted us to cover for him, to be a substitute for the dead ghost, it's too late, I really knew it now, why bother in the first place! I think, it's better to take the opportunity to kill him with a click, isn't it better, it's a hundred, wouldn't it be better, and sweep away a scourge for the people of the world!"
The white eagle responded: "That is, this is retribution, evil is rewarded, good is rewarded, it's not that it is not repaid, but the time has not come!"
A little red looked at Ren Tianqi and said with a smile: "Brother Xian really thinks that Mr. Ximen will go to evil and follow good, repent and reform? Or does he have other plans?"
Ren Tianqi was full of thoughts, left and right, frowning, although he was sure that the old man would not play any conspiracy, but he had to be on guard in private. What Ximen Qingyuan did was very contrary to ordinary people's common sense, Ximen Qingyuan was just a slight injury on his hands, for him, it was only a slight injury, not a greater loss, it stands to reason that this Gaoyou battle will not cause Ximen Qingyuan to be so disheartened, and he must have other unknown reasons, Ximen Qingyuan can't escape before he remembers the strategy of washing his hands in Jinpan. After all, the three-eyed Guanyin has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and its notoriety has long been outside, and its people have always been thoughtful and arrogant. At present, it is impossible for him to retreat from the difficulties and decide to wash his hands with gold, but it is more likely to face an irresistible or immeasurable crisis outside, and he is forced to do it, if not, what does it mean. But after all, he is not only the son-in-law of Mr. Simon, but also the parent official of millions of people in these fourteen states, and he wants to think about the court and the world. I saw the righteous brothers speak.
Ren Tianqi raised his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he is sincere or not, let's take the silver first, my brothers didn't see Mr. Simon make such a bold move, it is best to get the silver, and it is best to exterminate and get rid of the fireworks alliance as soon as possible, don't care if they are fighting in the nest, you must know that the Huai River river governance costs a lot of silver taels, and it is really time, the Huai River governance is our first feat to appease the people and benefit the people!"
Everyone laughed and nodded yes.
Ren Tianqi said: "It's just that how to find or send someone to protect Mr. Simon is a big difficulty. β
Bai Ying hurriedly said: "Brother Xian really wants to protect that old thing, I won't go, his grandmother's, he is not your brother-in-law, my uncle's I won't go." β
Ren Tianqi blushed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's natural, Mr. Ximen's subordinates are like clouds, and it is not so easy to find revenge and find fault, but what the younger brother has promised, he should always do it." β
A little red nodded, and said: "That is, the people who go not only need to be strong in martial arts, but also need to have no door and no faction, come and go freely, have no worries, and have a very tight mouth." There is really a person in the world, I don't know the virtuous brother, is he willing to open Chrysostom?"
Ren Tianqi heard a little red words, and snorted and laughed: "Second brother is talking about the eldest brother? The eldest brother is indeed the best candidate." It's just that my eldest brother has always been jealous and hateful, and he doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters, so he may not agree when I open my mouth. β
Black Eagle shouted, "What, what kind of thing is the old thief of Simon, and you want to ask your eldest brother to go for a trip?"
A little red shook the paper fan lightly, and said with a smile: "You guessed wrong, I mean the first sword in the world, don't win the sky Zhang Danfeng!"
Everyone was "ah", indeed, there is no one in the world who is more suitable than Zhang Danfeng to protect Ximen Qingyuan, strong in martial arts, alone, admitting money and not dying. It's just that he has always been at odds with the Xuzhou soldiers, and there is a gap with everyone, not to mention that Ren Tianqi has robbed the name of the first sword in the world, even if he speaks, people may not be willing to come.
A little red said: "I heard that Zhang Danfeng is now walking in Yangzhou, and I heard Lu Shixing say that Zhang Danfeng is also a chivalrous Danfeng, and has repeatedly used large sums of silver to help the people, it seems that this person is not as much as the legend on the rivers and lakes that loves money like life and kills people like hemp, maybe I just saw his not very good side." I think it's feasible to go to him. β
This is the second time Ren Tianqi has heard someone talk about Zhang Danfeng's character, perhaps, Zhang Danfeng is the same as himself, and what he does has his unspeakable hardships.
Ren Tianqi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The second brother said that it would be done, then I will ask Brother Ma to call the Tianci junior, and ask the beggar to help come forward, and save me from waiting to show up." β
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ren Tianqi called the flying bat to tell him a few words and told him to rush to the Qiling Temple outside the city.
Ren Tianqi looked back and smiled: "Little brother, think about it, this time I still have to invite the eldest brother out of the mountain, just in case, I think I still have to make some arrangements in Zhujiazhuang and Renjiabao first, to prevent recurrence, and the situation is out of control." β
Yihong nodded and agreed: "Otherwise, ask the eldest brother to bring some people to hide in Zhu Yongshun's house in Zhujiazhuang first, and I will also bring five hundred personal soldiers to be stationed in the village first." β
Ren Tianqi thought about it and nodded.
In the past two years, the word Yangzhou has been out of the limelight and filled the eyes and ears of people all over the world. First of all, Yangzhou City recruited talents, compared with the southern sword Ren Tianqi, the north mouth Qiu took the opportunity, forced Murong to hate; Then, it was the life and death of Chongya Academy, true and false, a big fight; and then, it was Ren Jiabao who was married and received the grace of heaven, Xuzhou soldiers rose, suppressed bandits and quelled chaos, went north to Qinwang to relieve the siege, and went south to destroy the withered and decayed like connecting the two states, Xuzhou soldiers supported the army and respected themselves, and both sides called the ministers, dominating the 14 states along the north and south banks of the Huaihe River, administering benevolent government, paying taxes lightly, extinguishing violence, disarming and returning to the field, so that the people of the country and the people are safe, the people are happy, the ancient style is reproduced, and all industries are prosperous; now, the fireworks league is in the imperial court, under the influence of Ren Tianqi's benevolent government, and it has self-dissolved by itself, the three-eyed Guanyin gold plate washed his hands and retired to the rivers and lakes. This news flew without wings, and instantly spread all over the banks of the Yangtze River, on both sides of the Huai River, and everyone in the world was surprised and surprised, and they all felt that it was incredible and impossible, so they wanted to see it with their own eyes and argue the truth and falsehood. As a result, people from all over the world gathered in Yangzhou were endless, continuous. Guangling, which was not famous, seemed to have become the center of the world overnight, and the road to Zhujiazhuang was even more crowded, with cars and horses crowded.
