It startled the birds taking shelter from the rain in nearby trees.
Le Yu kept looking at Wang Haigong.
There was no fear on Wang Haigong's face, and he didn't even look at Lin Haijun.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "I understand President Jing's determination. How about ten times as much?"
"I think you still don't know enough."
"Twenty times."
"not enough."
"Thirty times."
"not enough."
"I can't even squeeze out more from Wanghaigong's mansion."
"That means you're not squeezing hard enough."
Le Yu stood up and said: "After finishing the captain, prepare to close the team and go back to make battering rams and door-breaking rams. Mr. Wang Hai is old and can't squeeze in. Let's help him. If Nuo is a big man in Wang Hai's mansion, he will definitely be able to squeeze in."
Spend enough money on the military!"
Wan Xisha: "Yes!"
Wang Haigong sighed: "If you really want to do this, you will die in Xuanzhu County."
Le Yu smiled and said: "If we die in Xuanzhu County, you will also die here. The only difference is that we die in your hands and you die in Lan Yan's hands."
"Alas." Mr. Wang Hai nodded towards the back, and the servants moved out two chairs.
"Sit down, young man, and chat with me for a while."
Le Yu looked at the drizzle in the sky and asked, "Captain Wan, can you hold on in the rain for a little longer?"
"Don't be afraid if you persist for a whole day! Usually this little bit of rain doesn't affect our training!" Wan Xisha said, patting his chest.
"Then let me have a rainy discussion with Mr. Wang Haigong." Le Yu sat down and began to complain: "Hey, I said you are so old, how can you still take chances? It would be better if you gave me the money earlier.
If I have to bring someone here, it will make the scene unsightly, Mr. Wanghai, don’t you think so?"
"You..." The girl behind Wang Haigong looked like she wanted to complain, but Wang Haigong stopped her.
"You are right, I am indeed lucky." Wang Haigong shook his head: "After all, I never imagined that President Jing would do this for Lan Yan's military expenses."
"Of course, Lan Yan and I are close friends. If I die, Lan Yan will make the whole city of Xuanzhu County hang with Morrowind blunderbuss." Le Yu boasted shamelessly.
"Haha." Mr. Wanghai smiled noncommittally: "The Wanghai Huyan family can afford the money. However, can President Jing satisfy my curiosity and answer a question?"
"Speaking."
"Actually, many people can't understand why, President Jing, you want to take charge of the task of raising military expenses." Wang Haigong took the hot tea handed over by the girl and drank it while saying: "Everyone knows that this is a hard job, and it is very difficult.
It’s hard to satisfy Lan Yan, and it’s hard to convince everyone.”
"Did you know? About twenty years ago, there was a county governor of Xuanzhu County. At that time, the imperial court needed to provide disaster relief, so it forcibly assigned Xuanzhu County to all households and asked the county governor to collect heavy taxes for disaster relief. Before the tax, the county governor finally received it.
But he couldn't stay in Xuanzhu County any longer, and he couldn't get out of the county governor's house even with a single government order, so he finally rolled back to Yanjing in despair."
"We know that we have to give the money that the court wants, but our hearts are also long-term. The family property that we have accumulated over decades and generations can be taken away by the court with just a word. No matter who it is, we are sure in our hearts.
uncomfortable."
"Everyone needs someone to vent to."
"We can't deal with the imperial court, but can't we deal with a county governor?"
"Same thing."
Wanghai Gong raised his teacup to Leyu.
"We can't deal with Lan Yan, but can't we deal with a Jing family?"
"President Jing, if you seize a chicken feather like this and use it as an arrow, you will run rampant when you succeed, and you will use up every opportunity... Do you know your future fate?"
Le Yu blinked and smiled.
"It's a very educational story, Mr. Wang Hai." He said, "But I noticed one detail in the story - even though you didn't want to be unhappy at all, you still gave me the money, right?"
"yes."
"Then I will take it as your encouragement to the younger generation." Le Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would ask for money at the risk of your life. It turns out that there is a precedent of obediently giving money, so I am relieved.
"
Wanghai Gong shook his head: "This time the Wanghai Huyan family has admitted defeat. When they meet President Jing and Lan Yan, it can be regarded as a disaster for Xuanzhu County."
"But can President Jing answer my doubts? What is the reason that makes you wantonly offend the entire Xuanzhu County? You must know that in this game between Dongyang and Lan Yan, you may not be able to please both sides.
.”
Leyu stretched out two fingers.
"First, you cannot represent Xuanzhu County."
"Second, even if we don't please both sides, it doesn't matter to me."
"I'm not afraid of offending Lan Yan."
"I'm not afraid of offending you."
Faced with Le Yu's blatant provocation, Wang Haigong shook his head and said with a smile: "Not being afraid of offending and insisting on offending are two different things."
"Do everything to the best of your ability and use all your power. There are many such people in history. They are either lunatics who have been infamous for thousands of years, or outstanding people who shine for a moment. But even if they want to 'kill everyone', it is for their own interests."
"But raising military expenditures and replacing the directors of Xuanzhu's various businesses will not benefit your Jing family at all. On the contrary, your Jing family will also suffer from this, and even offend all the Yinxue people."
"Are there really people in this world who wholeheartedly make wedding dresses for others?"
"have."
Wang Haigong rubbed the faucet of the crutch in Li's hand and said: "But according to the intelligence, Lan Yan is a native of Morrowind and has no connection with the Jing family; regardless of age or age, he cannot be your father or your brother.
"
"President Jing, you have been active in Dongyang, and it is impossible for Lan Yan to have contact with you."
"Could it be that the two of you hit it off right away during the negotiation? Or... Haha, actually I am also very open-minded. Although Jue looks very serious, he married a wife and had children early, but in fact he had a man whom he fell in love with when he was in school.
"
"What!?"
Before Le Yu had time to react, the girl behind Wang Haigong was completely shocked: "My brother, he, he, he actually..."
How miserable.
Le Yu sympathized with this girl. Maybe she secretly felt that her eldest brother was an unparalleled hero, and maybe he was also a brother-controller. She originally came out to listen to gossip, but suddenly
etc.
Wanghaigong, what do you mean by giving this example at this time?
"I have lived for more than sixty years, which is considered a long life. I have seen a lot of everything. I feel that there is no such thing as homosexuality, heterosexuality, old age love, teacher-student love, old-young love... In the final analysis, it is actually two people falling in love.
, it’s that simple.” Wang Haigong stared at Le Yu: “So, President Jing, could it be that you have feelings for Lan Yan?”
"You, you, you, don't spit blood!" Le Yu denied repeatedly: "I, I, I, I wish Lan Yan would die suddenly on the spot!"
The girl's eyes changed.
President Jing, who just scolded Fang Qiu, was so panicked that he stuttered?
Even the grammar is wrong!
If you really hate it so much, why do you work so hard for Lan Yan's military expenses?
Could it be that Jing Zhengwei is really the enemy of the Silver Blood Society just because of Lan Yan!?
Wang Haigong didn't notice that his little daughter's face was red and her eyes were bright. He glanced at Le Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that I have made a mistake. President Jing, please forgive me for my unfounded speculation."
Le Yu calmed down the expression on her face, secretly thinking that this old fox was not easy to deceive.
He doesn't care about Jing Zhengwei's reputation. After all, the joke about Jing Zhengwei x Qin Leyin is already very popular in Xuanzhu County. When Qin Leyin visited a few days ago, the maids in Jingyuan almost rushed over to inform him.
——It doesn’t hurt to have one more news about Jing Zhengwei × Lan Yan.
It would be best to spread it to Xingke County. He remembered that Lan Yan married Lu Zhong's daughter. If such gossip could set Lan Yan's family on fire, that would be great.
"After excluding other speculations, no matter how unbelievable the remaining possibility is, it is the possibility closest to the truth."
Wang Haigong approached Le Yu and lowered his voice and said, "Everything you do is for yourself."
"Raising huge military expenditures for Lan Yan and temporarily taking charge of Xuanzhu's businesses is indeed only beneficial to Lan Yan, not beneficial to your Jing family, and even more detrimental to you, Jing Zhengwei."
"Everyone thinks you are willing to be a dog just to please Lan Yan."
"But that's just the appearance you let everyone see."
"Because you just borrowed Lan Yan's knife to cut the flesh of Chao Yinxue and the nobles of the Xuanzhu family. Although your Jing family has also been cut, other people will only be cut more by you."
"You want to cut off everyone's flesh and bleed them, and make all the nobles of the Chamber of Commerce dying."
Le Yu asked expressionlessly: "But what good will that do to me?"
"Yes, the military expenditure is all blue flames. It is indeed of no benefit to you, and your absolute strength has even become weaker. But..." Wang Haigong glanced at the rain clouds in the sky: "Just like some clouds are high and some are low, although
The Jing family has become weaker, but others will become even weaker."
"What will happen when that time comes?"
The gate of Wanghai Gong's Mansion suddenly became silent, with only the sound of rain dripping, the sound of water flowing along the eaves, and the sound of everyone's own heartbeats.
"Has President Jing married a wife?" Wang Haigong suddenly asked: "As the head of the family, you should also spread your branches as soon as possible."
"Come on, come on, once I understand these things, I will go home and get married." Le Yu said perfunctorily.
Wang Haigong suddenly became like a gossipy old man: "Who is the target? Is it the female editor-in-chief of Youth Newspaper?"
"Yeah, you know that too?"
"I've heard a little bit. After all, President Jing is now the most influential figure in Xuanzhu County. Of course, I need to investigate your preferences."
Wang Haigong chuckled and said: "However, with that person's background, I'm afraid he can't become your first wife, President Jing, right?"
Le Yu touched his chin: "Do I know about my brother Jing Zhengtang and his fiancée?"
Wang Haigong was stunned and immediately knew what he meant: "That's right, your Jing family has never cared about these rules..."
"You are really similar to your father..."
If Jing Qingji hears these words, he might be able to jump out from under the Nine Springs and pretend to be dead.
"But if the main wife is not from a good background, you will have fewer options to choose a side wife in the future." Wang Haigong advised like a veteran: "Otherwise, the side wife will easily overwhelm the main wife, and the main wife may also be jealous.
What an inconvenience.”
"Then it's okay if I don't marry a concubine, and I don't want to have a harem." Le Yu said: "I think it's enough for me to have Qinglan. If there are more, even if I have more than my heart, I won't be able to do it."
"Young man, as time goes by, you will get tired of it, and it just feels like that." Mr. Wang Haigong looked like someone who had come before.
"I can also eat secretly when I'm tired of it. Why do I have to marry a second wife?" Le Yu rationally analyzed: "You can find a different way to eat secretly every time. It's not only economical and affordable, but also less boring. But if you marry a second wife,
, it’s not just like marrying a second wife, it will be the same as time goes by... I’m just saying, I’m actually not interested in stealing food.”
"Oh, you, you must be so clear to me." Wang Haigong pulled the girl behind him and asked, "What do you think of my little daughter?"
"That's it?" Le Yu raised his eyebrows.
When her father pulled her over, the girl was already confused. She actually looked down on her when she heard Le Yu, and she became even more angry. When would Wang Hai Gong's apple be looked down upon so much?
"President Jing has a really high vision," Wang Haigong gave a thumbs up: "Although my little girl has learned about books and etiquette since she was a child, she is spoiled by others, has a high spirit, and has a bad temper. I hope that President Jing can be more tolerant in the future."
Le Yu waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, please take her back and continue to forgive her. I'm not interested."
Wang Haigong said kindly: "Actually, I don't insist on President Jing marrying my daughter. I just want you to take her back first, get along well with each other like an unmarried couple, and cultivate their relationship well. If you really can't get along, it's because your daughter is not lucky enough to have a chance.
President Jing’s favor.”
"Unmarried couples get along like that? Doesn't that mean they can't sleep together? No, no, no." Le Yu still shook his head: "Of course, it's not okay if we can sleep together. Old man, you'd better give the money quickly and don't make such nonsense——"
Wang Haigong suddenly said in a deep voice: "You can either take your daughter and a hundred times the military expenditure and go away, or you can lead the navy to bloodbath Wanghai's mansion."
His voice was so low that only Le Yu and the girl nearby could hear it. The girl was already very dissatisfied with her father for sending her around like a commodity, but Le Yu was even more dissatisfied when he refused her as if she were a rotten lantern.
, he was about to explode, but after hearing his father’s bloody and heavy words, he immediately calmed down like a basin of cold water was poured on him.
Le Yu narrowed his eyes: "Why do you have to do this?"
"The conventional means is marriage." Wang Haigong said calmly: "In times of trouble, you must use some means to keep the family safe."
"Can you keep your daughter safe by sending her away?"
"Tomorrow your engagement with my little girl will spread throughout Xuanzhu County."
Le Yu smiled: "Didn't you just say that the fate of the Jing family would be extremely miserable? Isn't she your biological child? How could you send her to the crematorium like this? Shouldn't I have no future in your eyes if I act so perversely?
?”
Wang Haigong suddenly said:
"Aren't the Jing family afraid of revenge for offending all the Yinxue people?"
"With the sword of Lan Yan to weaken all forces, what exactly does Jing Zhengwei want to do?"
"When you eliminate other speculations and connect all the clues, no matter how incredible the conclusion is, it is the closest possible possibility to the truth."
"The Wanghai Huyan family can continue to this day, not because each generation of family heads is a wise man who sees everything clearly, but because..."
"No matter how incredible the possibility is, the Huyan family will not ignore it."
Wang Haigong stretched out his hand, patted Le Yu's shoulder gently, and whispered in his ear:
"Follow your orders."
"Hand over a hostage."
"Can I allow you to spare the Huyan family a way out when you raise the butcher's knife in the future?"
