074 Negotiations
As the sun was about to set, Mrs. Wang finally appeared.
In the faint twilight, a small boat sailed out of the depths of Taihu Lake, except for an old woman rowing a boat, and only Mrs. Wang was in the boat. On this vast lake, it seems a little small, but it seems to have a tragic and decisive taste. Such a chic way of appearing made Zhao Ji also feel a little surprised, and even had a sense of guilt that he was unreasonable and bullying the weak, but the problem was that he was clearly chased all the way by Wang Jiahaonu last night!
When the dinghy approached the painting boat and Mrs. Wang was about to board the boat, the old woman shouted angrily: "Madame......" as if she was parting from life and death.
Zhao Ji sat in the cabin, waiting for Mrs. Wang to enter the cabin. He had also seen the jade statue in the stone room at the bottom of the Jianhu Palace, and when Mrs. Wang entered the door, she couldn't help but take a closer look and make a comparison in her heart. Although Mrs. Wang is old, her appearance has not deteriorated, and she is still radiant, but her face is straight, her eyes are faintly cold and sharp, and the corners of her lips are pursed sharply, giving people a mean and stern impression, and there is really no sense of pleasing to the eye.
Zhao Ji has always believed that although the sentence is a bit exaggerated, it can also be used as a reference in many cases. After a person is over thirty-five years old, what is his mood and character, and his appearance can probably give a feedback or two. The same years go by, and the impact and traces left on each person are different. And this Mrs. Wang, the years have not left a quiet or restrained charm on her, but they have left a trace of extremism, ferocity and even a trace of gloom. Just like a jar of freshly brewed wine that cannot be stored, it is a pity that the world has been transformed into a sour soup after the migration of the world.
While Zhao Ji observed Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang also stared at Zhao Ji unceremoniously. She thought that what she wanted to see was a greasy and powdery, annoying gentleman, but rather unexpectedly, this young man had a good image, not only did he have some frivolity and flamboyance, but he had an elegant and tranquil temperament, and he did not give people a sense of aggressiveness, and there was a kind of confidence and certainty between his eyebrows and eyes.
Excellent young Junyan, Mrs. Wang has not seen it, such as that nephew Murong Fu. Putting aside those prejudices in his heart, in all fairness, Murong Fu is indeed a very good young man, with a family background, he has rules and etiquette in dealing with people, he does not give people a sense of flattery when he treats others, and he is polite when he is alienated from others, and he will not make people resentful. These subsections of daily manners are pieced together to be a person's bearing.
Although Mrs. Wang didn't like Murong Fu in her heart, she still had to admit in her heart that there were indeed very few young people who could compare to Murong Fu. If you compare Murong Fu with the young man in front of him, that graceful bearing is a little pretentious, like the gap between a broken house that supports the scene and the inheritance of the real family.
These thoughts only passed through my heart. Mrs. Wang walked into the cabin, sat down directly on the seat opposite Zhao Ji, and said, "I am the mistress of the Wang family, you must let me talk about it, say what you want to talk about now." ”
Zhao Ji shook his head with a smile after hearing this: "Mrs. Wang, you seem to have misunderstood, I don't have to talk about it." Now that it's happened, it has to be resolved. For me, there are many ways to solve the problem, and talking about it is just one of them. The left and right are just unsmooth, and if I want to go down with this breath, I still have a lot of choices. ”
"Well, there's no need to talk about it!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face sank and she got up and said, "I naturally understand in my heart what kind of power you eunuchs are fighting. But if you want to fiddle with my Wang family's bowing down, it will be very difficult! Since you don't want to talk, then use other methods!"
Zhao Ji looked at Mrs. Wang, who was angry, and then served tea to the guests.
Mrs. Wang's silver teeth were wrong, the cold light in her eyes was frequent, and the clenched fist nails in her sleeves were almost piercing her palms, and she stood for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence: "Let's talk about it...... My family offended you last night, it's all my own fault for running a family, if you have any requests, just say it......"
Hearing this, Zhao Ji showed a smile on his face again, so that his attitude was right. If it's just a trick, then there's no need to talk about it at all. He got up and pleaded: "Since we want to talk about it, then the mustard in my heart can be put away." Madam, please be seated, and let's talk about things and talk about each other's satisfaction. ”
"Just the facts?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer, and only after sitting down did she say, "Since you are willing to be reasonable, it is no better." Is it right to kill someone to pay for your life? My Zhuangzi has become a thief and has killed several people, and my family has gone out to hunt for the murderer, is it wrong? You shielded the murderer and took people on the boat, and my family was eager to catch the thief, but instead of obstructing it, you grabbed my old family member and cut off her arm, what is the reason?
Zhao Ji could hear that Mrs. Wang's resentment was still quite big, and she had to let people break Mu Wanqing first, otherwise it would be difficult to get a result after arguing for three days and three nights. After pondering for a while, he said: "What I said is about the matter, I am talking about the matter, I will ignore what happened in the past of Mrs. Zhuang. Even if there are a lot of white bones buried in your Zhuangzi, it has nothing to do with me, and it is the responsibility of the local government to ask about it. What I'm going to talk to you about is that I am boating and cruising on the lake by myself, and your family members are indiscriminately surrounding me to shout and threaten, and if it weren't for my luck skills, I am afraid that I would have done a wrongful thing at the bottom of the lake at this time. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart couldn't help but burst out, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, did this young man say such a thing intentionally or unintentionally? In the past, she didn't have any concept of royal law in her heart, but after listening to Deng Baichuan's bitter expression in the afternoon, she still had a little jealousy after all. I used to think about things too simply, according to Deng Baichuan, if the other party wants to pursue it poorly, I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops will surround her Zhuangzi, not to mention that after escaping far away, I will destroy all the people, but I am afraid that on the day the army is dispatched, my whole family will not be left behind.
As long as the mortals have the existence of the royal law in their hearts, how easy it is to talk about it! If the other party is really as powerful as Deng Baichuan said, I am afraid that even if he escapes from the Great Song Dynasty and goes to Western Xia or Dali, it will be difficult to be peaceful.
What really made Mrs. Wang decide to come to negotiate with her head bowed was an example given by Deng Baichuan. Decades ago, Nong Zhigao, the bandit leader who rebelled in the southwest, fled to Dali, but was beheaded by Dali and sent back to the Great Song Dynasty. What Madame Wang is really afraid of is that she will be treated like this, which is an unacceptable result for her than death!
After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice: "What do you want? As long as you can do it, I will agree to it all." ”
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "I've heard people say that the Wang family has a library building that collects the martial arts secrets of many sects. I've always been a little curious about martial arts, so if Mrs. Wang, you promise to allow me to go in and take a look, the past entanglements will be written off. ”
"Y-How do you know that my family has this place? Who the hell are you? This thing is premeditated, isn't it?" Mrs. Wang's face changed when she heard this, and she was shocked at why this person knew everything about her own affairs. Even if the other party asked her to compensate 100,000 yuan in silver, it was not as shocking as this request.
Zhao Ji continued to smile and said: "Mrs. Wang is serious, everything in this world, in addition to you and me, God knows. How can the world be completely top-secret and not be known to anyone. ”
This explanation naturally couldn't make Mrs. Wang feel relieved, she just frowned and thought about it with a calm face, and only said after a long time: "I can promise you to go to my family's Langhuan Jade Cave, but you have to tell me clearly about this matter, who are you?
Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, how much resentment Mrs. Wang had against the Murong family, how could she just grab a black pot and deduct it on the head of the Murong family? But he didn't care much about these things, shook his head and said, "I can also tell Madam about my own identity." I am the brother of today's official family, and I am titled King Duan. I have met some martial arts friends, and I have heard of the name of Gu Su Murong, but I have never seen it. ”
"You, you are the prince of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Hearing Zhao Ji reveal her identity, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be surprised again, and only after a long time did she murmur: "You are the prince, the Murong family is afraid to avoid it, so naturally it will not ......" Speaking of this, her heart suddenly froze, and even if she stopped talking, her expression was still uncertain, and her eyes looking at Zhao Ji also changed a little. No matter how fierce the martial arts people are, it is indeed difficult to remain calm in the face of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty.
"So, madam, did you agree to my request?" Zhao Ji asked again.
Mrs. Wang nodded a little sluggishly, and then said: "Since you are the prince, you are already extremely rich, and martial arts are just a small means for the people of the rivers and lakes to protect themselves, what is the use of you learning?"
Zhao Ji smiled: "Interested, I don't have to explain." Since Madame has already agreed, I don't know when it will be convenient for the house?"
"Tomorrow, I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow morning. Mrs. Wang said: "It's just that my family is full of women, and it is inconvenient for too many men to enter and exit." Your Guardian ......"
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Madam, please rest assured, I can reflect on this." My guards are waiting outside the mansion, and when the time comes, I will come to visit the mansion alone, and there will be no danger in coming to the lady's mansion. ”
