No matter what, it was very troublesome to offend a prince in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the King of Chu and the King of Hai who were worried about ghosts.
Even if you don’t die, you will have to shed your skin...
"King Chu, why do you do this?" the head of the Cui family asked in a hoarse voice.
"Why else? Of course it's because we haven't picked on him anymore." Chen Boyun said solemnly: "As soon as he came to Guangzhou, he made it clear to Boss He that he wanted to recruit us. But after we discussed it, we didn't pick on him.
He also captured Young Master Yongjia Hou and Xu Zhitai, hoping to scare the monkeys and force us to submit."
"But we still don't pick up on him. As the saying goes, again and again, no more, a noble man like him is even more impatient. Isn't it normal for him to become angry?" Liang Shangjun, the leader of the Liang clan, continued.
"Well, that's probably the case." Everyone nodded, feeling that their analysis was correct.
"Then what should we do? We can't really be the opposite if someone writes a negative word for us, right?" someone else asked.
These words caused all the local tycoons to nod in agreement: "Indeed, we can't let them lead us by the nose."
He Di and Chen Boyun looked at each other, and under the light, they both had worried looks on their faces.
They all feel that these rich people are not as strong as they used to be. Could it be that the world has really changed?
Of course, there were also some who felt relieved, and followed the pattern back then and said bitterly: "What are you afraid of? As long as we are united as one, what if we are against his mother? The court can only ask Boss He to appease us."
"That's true, but we really can't just jump in when someone digs a hole." He Di thought about it and said: "We still have to try our best to value peace. If we are forced to the last step, we can stand still.
reason."
"..." Now the smarter people heard it, and even Mr. He didn't have the courage to go against it before.
"Then we can't bow our heads voluntarily. People have already bullied us at home. If we keep humiliating ourselves, what kind of face will we have?" Liang Shangjun said angrily: "I can't swallow this breath anyway."
"Yes!" Those hot-tempered rich people all agreed: "A person has a face, and a tree has a skin. Besides, this is not just a matter of face."
"That's right, if we lower our heads now, we will have no choice but to be slaughtered by the King of Chu." Now more people continued.
"Let's get to the point." He Di also nodded and said: "You may say a thousand words, but King Chu still wants to recruit us. So he is still scaring us and trying to force us to bow our heads."
"Yes, you can't be fooled by him!" The local tycoons agreed.
"But looking at King Chu's temper, if the fight continues, he will definitely take more extreme actions." Chen Boyun said worriedly again. He must be afraid, because the first place Daotong went to was his home. What's the next step?
As for the means of upgrading, most of the time it is to greet him at his house first.
"Yes, it's not a problem to continue the cold war like this." He Di agreed: "We still have to find someone to convey our intentions to King Chu."
"Well, if there is a channel for dialogue between the two parties, the situation can be controlled. After that, it will be nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money." Chen Boyun immediately seconded the proposal.
Everyone agreed. "Then who should we look for?"
"Of course it's Marquis Yongjia." He Di said solemnly.
"He? His son was arrested by fellow Taoists. He didn't even dare to say a word, but he still helped us spread the word?" Everyone was skeptical.
"The fact that he didn't say a word just means that he can carry it clearly." He Di shook his head and said, "First of all, it was him who said that Zhu Xian went to Yunnan for business, and was caught in front of his home. How could he have the nerve to go to Chu Xian again?
The king wants someone? He is willing to stick his face out and let others beat him."
"Secondly, a small impatience can mess up a big plan. Yongjiahou knew that he was in big trouble. In fact, Zhu Xian's things were just trivial matters. What was really fatal was that he almost let the emperor kill Dao Tong by mistake before." He Di has not been at home these days.
Think less and see the problem thoroughly.
"Although Xu Benya has shouldered everything, everyone knows that the conflict between him and Daotong is far from a life-and-death situation. No one knows who wants to kill Daotong better than Daotong himself." He Di said with a solemn expression.
:
"So as long as the emperor investigates deeply, Zhu Liangzu will not run away. With today's fiery temper, why don't you skin him?"
"So he can't protect himself, why should we interfere with him?" This is the reality of the local tycoons in Guangdong.
"No, he still has hope of passing." He Di said solemnly: "As long as the imperial army moves out... there is no need to move out. In another month, there will be no possibility of the imperial court changing its commander, and his alarm will be lifted.
.”
"This is the last battle for unification. As long as we win back Yunnan and fight well, all old scores can be wiped off." He said with a sigh of relief: "The emperor also does not want the generals who helped him complete the unification to be executed in the blink of an eye.
That would be too ugly, and it would give it a bad reputation."
"It makes sense." Everyone nodded, feeling that He Di's analysis was thorough.
"So, Marquis Yongjia is now doing what he wants, and he will continue to do so until the day when the alarm is lifted." Chen Boyun continued: "Don't say that his son was arrested, even if his father was arrested, he would not say anything.
"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the stagnant atmosphere relaxed a little.
"Then he is willing to take the lead at this time?" someone asked.
"Of course I'll be willing." He Di smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be a waste of time to act as a middleman and send messages back and forth?"
"Yes, yes, it's just a message. He wishes King Chu would keep staring at us." Everyone thought there was nothing wrong with this.
~~
After deciding on the plan, He Di visited General Zhengnan's Mansion the next day.
After the report, I met Zhu Liangzu, who had recently become a ‘nerd general’.
He Di was startled when he saw his unshaven beard, blurry eyes, and emaciated appearance. How could he still be the majestic and domineering general with piercing eyes?
"Oh, Marquis Yongjia, why are you so haggard and haggard after not seeing him for a few days?" He Di quickly asked with concern.
"Are you here to see my joke?" Zhu Liangzu said angrily: "You don't know how scary the emperor is, why did I get so confused that I listened to your bad idea?"
It was He Di who first suggested that Zhu Liangzu take advantage of the express delivery service at 800-mile Express and file a complaint first.
"Oh, who would have thought that King Chu would suddenly return home at this juncture and run three thousand miles to save a magistrate whom he only met once?" He Di still couldn't understand it and said, "It's completely unreasonable."
"Alas..." Zhu Liangzu also sighed and said extremely depressed: "Who says it's not the case? No wonder Hu Weiyong reminded me that Lao Liu can't act according to common sense, he is a freak!"
"It's useless to say all this." He waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you come to me?"
"Of course it's to help Mr. Hou solve his problems." He Di twisted his beard and smiled, and the dog-headed military advisor got up.
