The atmosphere in the big tent became dull and strange for a while, but Li Tai, the atmosphere killer, did not feel any guilt at all. Seeing that the people present ignored him, he simply turned around and asked Yang Kuan in a low voice that the counter-insurgency army in Weizhou had been prepared.
To what extent.
Yang Kuan was not in the mood to discuss this topic. He was also very curious about Li Tai's plan and how he wanted to deal with the matter at hand. But if Li Tai didn't tell him, he couldn't ask directly, otherwise he would appear to be inferior to this young man.
He was resourceful and imaginative, so he just responded casually to Li Tai's questions.
Such a dull atmosphere lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. A state official walked in quickly and said to Li Tai respectfully: "Chang Shi, Quan Hanlang of the Quan family has entrusted his humble position to ask the chief history. The chief history is related to the Li family in the village.
How can we ensure that this matter will be dealt with fairly if he is from the same clan? What if after he enters the Feng Mine, Chang Shi refuses to fulfill his agreement?"
Quan Hanlang was the Quan clan member who had just entered the tent to argue with Li Yunxin. After hearing what the state official told him, the people in the tent couldn't help but start talking in whispers. Some of them had the same worries as Quan Hanlang.
It is unlikely that Li Tai will keep his promise.
Although Li Tai just said that this was just a joke, everyone was still half-convinced. This was because he had not been in the town for a long time and did not have enough prestige to win people's trust. And if he could really do it, he would naturally let him
People are confused and restless.
However, some people have sensitively noticed that Quan Hanlang is only worried about whether Li Tai will fulfill the agreement, and does not question whether this matter is feasible. It can be seen that in his mind, if there is a premise of fair competition, he is also willing to attract the government
Use your strength to help eradicate hostile families!
Li Tai laughed after hearing this question. He was originally worried that the two sides hated each other and at the same time had strong character. They must avenge and eradicate each other with their own hands rather than resorting to false hands. If this is true, then he will do whatever he wants.
Superfluous.
"Reply to Mr. Quan, I am not acquainted with the Li family in this village. Even if I want to get close, people may not come to see me. The reason why we have gathered all the sages from the village here today is to judge this case fairly in public.
Even if I can't win his trust, if I want to favor one side, I can't hide it from the eyes and ears of the wise villagers."
At this point, Li Tai's voice suddenly dropped and he said: "What's more, if I really have this intention, does he think that he can avoid disaster by not responding? Let him stop having those useless thoughts and reply as soon as possible!"
Although the words may not sound pleasant to the ears, they are telling the truth. In the past few years, the Quan family and the Li family have been fighting evenly, and it is difficult for each to completely suppress the other. However, if a third party joins the fight, the other family will not be far away from suffering.
Already.
Shortly after the state official retired, another person responsible for keeping an eye on Li Yunxin also hurriedly entered the account. Li Tai raised his hand to stop the person before he could speak, and the person handed over a pen and paper to report in writing.
The official quickly leaned over and wrote the distribution ratio mentioned by Li Yunxin on the paper, then came forward and handed it to Li Tai.
Li Tai took the piece of paper and looked at it, ignoring the curious eyes of the people around him. He folded the paper and handed it back and said, "Send it to Mr. Quan for his reference."
When everyone in the tent heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Although they still didn't know what Li Tai was going to do, they could also guess what kind of changes this move would cause.
Sure enough, shortly after the paper with the price written on it was sent to Quan Hanlang, Quan Hanlang's price was also quickly sent in. However, Li Tai still did not intend to make the prices of both parties public, but instead sent the price of Quan Hanlang to the public.
Send the price code to Li Yunxin.
This happened several times. Although the two parties did not meet each other, they realized that Li Tai was deliberately letting them compete with each other in bidding. Although the frequency of their respective bids slowed down, neither of them quit.
If before, there might have been other ways to resolve the grudge between them, but when they joined the bidding for the deal proposed by Li Tai, they had no other choice or retreat but to continue.
Only by overpowering the opponent can we defeat this country enemy.
However, as each party increased their bets, the flavor of the matter changed. If they were seeking revenge in the beginning by getting strong support, they would have wanted to put the other party to death.
But in this comparison, their respective bids have already exceeded the psychological price but they cannot stop, which means that they have turned from revenge to self-protection. It doesn't matter whether they can put the other party to death. The important thing is that they cannot be attacked.
The goal!
At this time, everyone in the big tent also realized that things had gone bad at this stage, and the two families that hated each other had been completely tied up.
Although they don't know what price they have been forced to pay, seeing that the time between each quotation is getting longer and longer, I think they are already suffering a lot, but Li Tai has no intention of stopping yet.
He just ordered us to continue sending each other's prices.
"That's enough! Please stop it, Li Changshi. Why do you need to take advantage of the hatred between the two parties to make such a heart-breaking act?"
Finally, an old man named Lu, a wealthy and powerful Di people present, stood up angrily, looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice.
Li Tai was not angry after hearing this. He just raised his finger and pointed at the old man and sneered jokingly: "Old slave, you dare to lose your temper and roar in front of my table. It's best if you don't have any grudges with other families in the countryside, otherwise your head will be removed and sold."
people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked shocked. After a while, they all stood up, pointed at Li Tai and scolded him. The sound almost overturned the big tent. It can be seen that not only did he not
What kind of hatred and grudges there are, but people still respect him a lot. Li Tai was so rude to him that he offended the public.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Yang Kuan, who was watching the show, did not expect Li Tai to be so tough. Seeing that the crowd was raging and about to lose control, he quickly stood up, stamped his feet and roared, then pointed at Li Tai and said: "Bo Shan, General Lu is
How can it be so offensive to the people who have been looking up to the virtuous minister for a long time? Why don't you apologize quickly and ask for the virtuous minister's forgiveness!"
Li Tai also changed his previous arrogant attitude, stood up and bowed to the old man surnamed Lu, then raised his head and looked at the old man and said: "I am ignorant and offensive. I saw that Duke Hua Shanggong and the people in the tent all respected General Lu.
Only then did I realize that I had offended the village chief, so I begged General Lu not to mind."
The old man surnamed Lu was pointed at the nose, scolded the old slave, and even sold his head to others. He felt extremely ashamed and angry, but when he saw Li Tai apologize so sincerely, he couldn't react for a while.
Li Tai didn't wait for the old man to answer, and looked around at the people in the tent who were still indignant. Then he sighed and said: "If we can unite as one and resist the insults from outside, then no one can humiliate us! I am a young man in the country, so I should
As a state commander, if you are arrogant and disrespectful to your hometown, you should feel ashamed and ask for forgiveness.
I invite you all to come here and observe what has happened so far. Having said this, if you still have no self-realization, then I am probably not the distinguished guest I want to entertain at the banquet. Please go out of your tent and do not disturb me. If you can have one or two thoughts in mind, then
Please stay a moment longer to see if my judgment is appropriate."
Since everyone arrived here, their emotions and thoughts have been led by Li Tai. Now that they heard what he said, they were a little undecided and were waiting to see whether the fellow villagers would stay or leave.
The old man surnamed Lu then spoke again: "Everyone, please take a seat first. Just as Li Changshi said, Changshi is the chief minister of the state and the seal envoy to the people of the county. If the judgment is unfair,
If you have to give up your education in one place, we, the local righteous people, also need to remonstrate with you!"
After hearing this, everyone sat down again.
Li Tai no longer asked the other two people to circulate the prices to each other, but placed the papers that had been circulated one by one on the table in front of him. Then he looked at the old man surnamed Lu and said with a smile: "General Lu said that I took advantage of people's hearts."
It's really unfair for me to do such heart-wrenching drama because of the heat.
If nostalgia is as smooth as a jade, how can a heart-breaking plan be used? Only when the situation is incompatible can there be hatred and sworn hatred! This love and this matter did not start with me, all of you have been watching in the countryside for a long time
How can we not know that this nostalgia is profound and difficult to heal?"
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent. Although they were not the parties involved, they felt a little embarrassed when they saw that the two parties were tempted by a stranger and wanted to put the other party to death regardless of the cost.
"The exact price these two companies have paid is for their own sake. Please forgive me for not telling you in detail, but I can also say briefly that their respective bids have already exceeded the profits from the Kuanmagou bran gold mine. That is,
, this mine all belongs to me, and each of them will receive gifts of goods and property."
After Li Tai said this, he let out a long sigh, looked at the crowd and said with a serious tone: "I don't know what you think after hearing this, whether you are gloating about the misfortune and secretly scolding the two families for being stupid. The feud between the two families started in this ditch.
Each clan has suffered many casualties, and in the end, all these frivolous wealth and profits must be given up in order to gain peace and contentment. But I want to remind you, be wary of the same thing with his imperial body!"
"What Li Changshi said is true. Hatred can make people lose their minds. Originally it was only superficial damage, but it was just because of a temporary conflict of spirits. In the end, it was necessary to cut off the flesh to pay for it. Everyone should also remember this.
A lesson, don’t indulge in anger and make grudges against the villagers!”
The old man surnamed Lu also nodded and echoed Li Tai's words.
"More than that, more than that! As the saying goes, one would rather love a handful of soil in one's own hometown than a thousand grains of millet in a foreign land. With a foot like this, it is no longer a duckweed or a catkin. Our family has been traveling abroad for several generations, and we have no love for our hometown.
I miss you even more than you and others who have lived in the hometown for a long time. I am really excited to be in my hometown this time, but unexpectedly, the nostalgia I see after returning home is shocking!"
Li Tai did not feel good because of the support of the old man surnamed Lu. He stood up from the table and walked to the tent. He raised his legs and kicked over the basket of mineral soil that was used for display just now.
The bran gold ore soil immediately filled the tent, and even several powerful men sitting close were hit by the sand, but seeing Li Tai's angry expression, he did not dare to raise his hand to dust it off for a while.
