Northern Dynasties

Chapter 333
The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became dull and strange, but Li Tai, the atmosphere killer, did not feel the slightest guilt. Seeing that the people present ignored him, he simply turned around and asked Yang Kuan in a low voice to ask that Weizhou's counter-insurgency army has 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 was going to deal with the situation in front of him. But if Li Tai didn't say anything, he couldn't ask directly, otherwise he would appear to be inferior to this young man. He is resourceful and imaginative, so his questions to Li Tai are just perfunctory.

Such a dull atmosphere lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, a state official walked in quickly, and said to Li Taigong in a respectful voice: "Reporting to the Changshi, the Quan's Quan Hanlang entrusted his post to ask the Changshi, the Changshi is related to the Li family in the village. If he is out of the same clan, how can he guarantee that this matter will be dealt with fairly? What if Chang Shi refuses to fulfill the agreement after he enters the Feng mine?"

Quan Hanlang was the member of the Quan clan who entered the account and quarreled with Li Yunxin just now. Hearing the state official tell him what he said, the people in the account couldn't help discussing in whispers. Li Tai is unlikely to keep his promise.

Even though Li Tai said just now that this was just a joke, everyone was still dubious. This was because he had not been in the town for long and did not have enough prestige to be trusted by others, and he was really able to do it. People are surprised and uneasy.

However, some people noticed sensitively that Quan Hanlang was only worried about whether Li Tai would fulfill the agreement, and did not question whether this matter was 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. The power to help eradicate hostile people!
Li Tai laughed after hearing this question. He was more worried that the two sides hated each other and at the same time had a strong character. They must take revenge and eradicate each other with their own hands instead of pretending to others. If this is the case, then no matter what he does superfluous.

"Reply to Quan Hanlang, I have never met the Li family in this village. Even if I want to get close, people may not come to me. The reason why I recruited all the virtuous elders of the village to come here today is to make a fair judgment on this matter in public. Even if I don't have enough trust in him, if I want to take sides, I will never be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of all the sages in the village."

At this point, Li Tai's voice sank again, "What's more, if I really have the heart, he thinks that he can avoid disaster if he doesn't respond? Let him stop thinking about it and answer as soon as possible!"

Although the words are not pleasant, 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 other to completely suppress the other, but if a third party joins in, then the other family will not be far from suffering.

Not long after the state official resigned, another person in charge of keeping an eye on Li Yunxin also rushed to enter the account. Li Tai hurriedly raised his hand to stop him before he could speak, and ordered the staff to hand over the pen and paper to report in writing.

The official quickly leaned over and wrote the distribution ratio Li Yunxin said on the paper, and then handed it to Li Tai.

Li Tai took the paper and looked at it, ignoring the curious eyes of the people around him, then folded the paper and handed it back, and ordered: "Send it to Mr. Quan Han for his reference."

When everyone in the tent heard this, their expressions immediately changed again. Although they still didn't know what Li Tai was going to do, they could guess what kind of changes this move would cause.

Sure enough, shortly after the paper with the price tag was sent to Quan Hanlang, Quan Hanlang's asking price was also sent in quickly.However, Li Tai still did not intend to disclose the price tag of both parties to the public, but sent Quan Hanlang's price tag to Li Yunxin.

If so, although the two parties did not meet each other, they also realized that Li Tai was deliberately making them compete with each other in the bidding. Although the frequency of their respective bidding slowed down, none of them quit.

If there were other solutions to the enmity between them before, but after they joined the bidding for the transaction proposed by Li Tai, there was no other choice or retreat for each of them, and they could only continue. Only by overpowering the opponent can the enemy in this town be defeated.

However, as each of them increased their stakes, the taste of this matter changed. If it was said that at the beginning, it was revenge for the purpose of obtaining strong support, wishing to put the other party to death.

But in this kind of comparison, their respective bids have already exceeded the psychological price but they can't stop, which means that they have changed from revenge to self-protection. It doesn't matter whether they can put the other party to death, the important thing is that they can't 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 in it.

Although I don't know what price each of them has been forced to pay, but seeing that the interval between each quotation is getting longer and longer, it seems that each of them is already suffering a lot, but Li Tai has no intention of stopping yet. It is just an order to continue to exchange the price tags of both parties.

"That's enough! Li Changshi, please stop in moderation, why bother to take advantage of the hot hatred between the two sides to make such a heart-breaking show!"

Finally, an old man from the Di tribe surnamed Lu got up angrily, looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice.

Li Tai was not angry when he heard the words, he just pointed at the old man and sneered jokingly: "The old slave dares to lose his composure and roar in front of my banquet. It's best that you don't have any grudges with other families in the village, otherwise your head will be taken and sold." people!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room showed astonishment, and after a while they all stood up, pointing at Li Tai and yelling, the sound almost toppled the big tent.It can be seen that not only did he not have any family grievances, but he was also highly regarded by others. Li Tai was so rude to him that he made everyone angry.

"Shut up and shut up!"

Yang Kuan, who was watching the play from the sidelines, didn't expect Li Tai to be so tough. Seeing that the crowd was raging and about to lose control, he quickly stood up, stomped his feet and roared angrily, then pointed at Li Tai and said, "Boshan, General Lu is The masses have long looked up to the virtues, how can they be so offensive? Why don't you apologize quickly and ask the benevolence to forgive me!"

Li Tai also reversed his arrogant attitude before, stood up and bowed to the old man surnamed Lu, then raised his head to look at the old man and said: "Your ignorant offense, seeing that Mr. Hua and the people in the tent respect General Lu, Only then did I realize that I offended the head of the village, I beg General Lu not to mind."

The old man surnamed Lu was pointed at the nose and scolded the old slave, and wanted to sell his head to others, he was extremely ashamed, but seeing Li Tai's sincere apology, he couldn't react for a while.

Li Tai didn't wait for the old man to answer, he turned around to look around at the people in the tent who were still indignant, and then sighed: "But if we can unite as one and defend ourselves against insults from outside, no one can insult us! I am also young and strong in the country. Zhou Shangzuo, once you are arrogant and disrespectful to your hometown, you need to be ashamed and forgive me.

I invite all of you to come here. If you have observed things so far and said this, if you still do not have a little self-realization, then I am afraid that you are not the distinguished guests I want to entertain at the table. Please leave the tent and do not disturb.If you can get one or two thoughts in your heart, please stay for a while to see if my judgment is reasonable or not. "

Since everyone came here, Li Tai has been leading their emotional thinking away. Hearing what he said now, they were a little undecided in their hearts, waiting to see whether the fellow villagers should stay or go.

The old man surnamed Lu said again at this moment: "Everyone, let's go to the table first. As Li Changshi said, Changshi is the envoy who is the Shangzuo of the state and the Linmin of the county. If it is unfair, Since I have been exiled in one place to teach and educate, we, the righteous people of the village, also need to admonish him!"

Hearing this, everyone sat down again.

Li Tai also no longer asked the other two to pass the prices to each other, but placed the papers that had been circulated on the table in front of him one by one, then looked at the old man surnamed Lu and said with a smile: "What General Lu said, I take advantage of people's hearts. It's really unfair to me to play a show of killing the heart while it's hot.

If the nostalgia is as smooth as jade, how can the plan of killing the heart be used?Only when the situation is incompatible can there be hatred and incompatibility!This matter did not start with me. You all have been watching things in the village for a long time, do you not know that the nostalgia is so deep that it is difficult to bridge it? "

When everyone heard this, they were all silent.Although they were not the parties involved, it was somewhat embarrassing to see that both parties were tempted by a foreigner and wanted to put the other party to death regardless of the cost.

"The specific prices of these two companies have already been paid. It is for their own sake. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you in detail, but I can also simply say that their respective bids have already exceeded the benefits of the bran gold mine in Kuamagou. That is , this mine is all owned by me, and each has a gift from the current goods industry."

After Li Tai said this, he sighed again, looked at the crowd and said with a serious tone: "I don't know how you feel after hearing this, whether you are gloating in your heart and secretly scolding the two families for their stupidity. The enmity between the two families began in this ditch, There were many casualties among the members of the respective clans, and in the end, all these frivolous wealth and goods had to be sacrificed in exchange for peace and happiness. But I want to remind everyone to be vigilant that he is the same as the emperor!"

"What Li Changshi said is the truth, but the blindness of hatred makes people lose their minds. It was only a superficial injury, but it was only because of a momentary dispute, and in the end it was necessary to cut flesh to pay for it. Everyone must also remember this A lesson, don't let your anger run wild and make resentment against the village!"

The old man surnamed Lu also nodded and echoed Li Tai's words.

"It's more than that, it's more than that! As the saying goes, I would rather love a piece of soil in my hometown than a thousand bells and millets in other places. If there are roots and feet in this place, it is not duckweed and catkins. My family has traveled abroad for generations. Missing is beyond the reach of people like you who have lived in the countryside for a long time. This time, I feel really excited when I get to work in the countryside, but unexpectedly, what I see after returning home is shocking!"

Li Tai didn't look good because of the support of the old man surnamed Lu. He stood up from the banquet and walked to the tent. He raised his leg and kicked over the basket of ore soil that was used for display just now. The ore soil of bran gold was immediately sprinkled all over the tent, and even a few tyrants who sat close were hit by the sand, but seeing Li Tai's angry expression, he didn't dare to raise his hand to shake it off for a while.
