Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 513 Chu Pingsheng: You can’t afford to offend my Chai family
"Yes, that's right. Look at Master Chai. He has good looks, talent, title, and money. Miss Dong and him are a perfect match."

Kou Zhong didn't have so many thoughts. Wang Shichong had already agreed to take them to see Yang Guang, so the purpose of this trip was achieved. If he could convince Dong Shu Ni and let her marry Chai Shao, wouldn't Li Xiuning return to his arms?

He was her savior, and the words of a savior should be very important - although this was just a play of a hero saving a beauty performed by him, Xu Ziling and Song Yuzhi in order to get close to Wang Shichong and reach a cooperation.

"you you……"

Dong Shu Ni's hands were shaking as she pointed at Kou Zhong, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Chu Pingsheng looked at the scene in front of him and sneered in his heart. Wang Shichong was also an old fox. He could tell from Dong Shu Ni's words and actions that her feelings towards Kou Zhong were not just simple gratitude, but also a romantic relationship.

The illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel married a gangster? How could that be possible? Why not kill two birds with one stone at tonight's banquet?

She thought that her niece's matchmaking operation would let Dong Shu Ni see clearly which of Kou Zhong's feelings for her and Li Xiu Ning was true and which was false. In this case, would she continue to like Kou Zhong? The two beauties in Luoyang were also somewhat arrogant, okay?

If Master Chai chooses to agree to this proposal, this marriage will be a great one.

Now Xue Ju in the west has declared himself emperor, Li Yuan in the north is ready to make a move, the Song Dynasty in Lingnan is in a precarious situation, Yu Wenzhi "holds the emperor hostage to control the princes", the Dugu family is no pushover, and the peasant uprising is in full swing, Li Mi in Henan, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Du Fuwei in Wu and Chu, Lin Shihong in Jiangnan...

Wang Shichong was the Minister of Personnel and had a very high prestige in the court. His students and old friends were spread across all systems. Whether it was the suggestions and reminders from those below him or his own deductions about the general situation of the world, they all made him feel uneasy. He knew that the capital Luoyang was a popular place in the eyes of many people, and he did not want to give it up. He also had some thoughts of sitting on the throne and becoming emperor, so he recruited soldiers and accumulated strength.

But after actual operation, the biggest problem arose: lack of money.

Just imagine who was the richest in the Sui Dynasty?

Without a doubt, the Chai family.

If Dong Shu Ni could marry into the Chai family, he would gain huge wealth.

With power, soldiers and money, why worry that you won't be able to show your prowess in the coming chaotic times?
If Master Chai doesn't agree, then he will sow discord between Shuanglong and Chai Shao, and then...

"Miss Dong is indeed naturally beautiful. I feel pity for her."

After Chu Pingsheng finished praising this, he changed the subject: "Uncle, you should know that I am a businessman and I never do business at a loss. My marriage with Li Xiuning was granted by the emperor. If I just turn it down, where will the emperor's face be? Where will the integrity of my Chai family be? Integrity is the foundation of the money business."

Wang Shichong looked displeased: "So, nephew doesn't want to?"

"Uncle, as a businessman, even if I marry a wife, I can't help but put some considerations into it. Isn't this too much? How about...you add a little more?"

! ! ! ! ! !
Add some more?
More?!

Everything can be traded?

Hey, this guy is really a greedy guy who turned Wang Shichong's matchmaking into a business... Although Rong Fengxiang knew that for Wang Shichong, this was a win-win business.

But this kind of thing should be kept secret. How can you say whatever you want without restraint? It's easy to lose friends if you do this.

On the point of "sincerity", Rong Fengxiang was convinced.

Xu Ziling showed disdain on his face. Kou Zhong picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, but it tasted wrong no matter how he ate it.

"Add a little more? How do you say it?" Wang Shichong ignored Dong Shu Ni's angry eyes and asked while suppressing his dissatisfaction.

Chu Pingsheng pointed at the beautiful daughter next to Rong Fengxiang and said, "I don't want much, let's add her."

? ? ? ? ?

Rong Jiaojiao looked at this and that, and found that they were all looking at her, then she reacted.

As a daughter of the Great Ming Sect, she came here to cooperate with Wang Shichong and take a look at Shuanglong and Master Chai who are currently in the limelight. How come she ended up eating this melon?
Rong Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Rong Fengxiang was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

Is he going to pack up the two beauties from Luoyang and take them home?
This kid is really bold.

Rong Fengxiang said angrily: "Chai Shao, you are just dreaming!"

Wang Shichong said with embarrassment: "Nephew, your request is too much."

"Is it too much? I don't think so." Chu Pingsheng said sincerely, "The Rong family is a loan shark, and my family runs a money house. If Rong Jiaojiao marries into the Chai family, you can package your business and use the gray area of ​​the law to gain greater profits. Isn't this a win-win situation? President Rong, your business acumen is not good enough..."

Rong Fengxiang pointed at Chu Pingsheng and said, "She is my daughter, not a commodity."

These words are spoken with great righteousness and force.

Wang Xuanying looked at Dong Shu Ni, who was being used as a political bargaining chip, and felt a little embarrassed. "Hahaha, hahaha..."

Chu Pingsheng, however, laughed so hard that he held his belly, and pointed at the father and daughter and said, "She is your daughter? You said she is your daughter? Hahahaha..."

"why are you laughing?"

"Should I call you President Rong? Or should I call you Pi Chen, the successor of the Laojun Temple, a branch of the True Transmission Sect?"

Rong Fengxiang's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Chu Pingsheng never stopped talking until he was shocked. He continued, "You colluded with Mingzi of the Great Ming Sect and sent her to the Yingui Sect as an undercover agent as your daughter. If I tell Zhu Yuyan about this, I wonder how she will deal with you, father and daughter?"

Rong Jiaojiao couldn't laugh anymore.

Wang Shichong's face was also terribly cold.

Only Shuanglong had an expression as if he was listening to a foreign book.

What is the Great Ming Zunjiao, what is the Laojun Temple, but they know about the Yingui Sect, and Kankan is from the Yingui Sect.

Rong Fengxiang stood up, his eyes fierce and full of murderous intent.

"Liang Shidu, who founded the Liang Kingdom in the north, has the support of the Demon General Zhao Deyan of the Demon Xiang Sect. Zhu Can in the south of Luoyang has the support of the Lotus Master An Long of the Tianlian Sect. Du Fuwei in the east, his general Fu Gongju, is flirting with Zuo Youxian, the Taoist master. Uncle Wang, I believe there is a master behind you, right? Do you think that the Chai family, as the richest family in the world, has no backers?"

Chu Pingsheng showed no fear at all, and laughed: "Rong Fengxiang, believe it or not, if I want you to die at three o'clock in the morning, the King of Hell will not keep you alive until five o'clock."

"Insanity!"

"Whether it's arrogant or not, you can try it and see."

Chu Pingsheng patted the food table and slowly stood up: "And Wang Shichong, do you think I don't know your little calculations? If I marry your illegitimate daughter, you will get a steady stream of financial support, laying the foundation for your future competition in the Central Plains. If I don't agree, it will be a conflict with Shuanglong. After you kill them, you can just push the blame on me, and you won't offend Li Yuan and his son for this."

For Shuanglong, he was listening to the heavenly book just now, and now he is listening to the wordless heavenly book.

What is this guy talking about? It's complicated.

"The account book that Yu Wenzhi asked Dongming Sect to purchase weapons and equipment... Let me think about it, how will you threaten Yu Wenzhi with it? You were originally a general of the army supporting Luoyang, but you were defeated by Li Mi. Later, you were recommended by the King of Yue and transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as the Minister. Although you have a high position, you have lost the military power. Now that the King of Yue is gradually falling out of favor, you have to leave a way out for yourself. Yu Wenzhi is a favorite of the emperor. If he can work harder, the position of the Minister of War, which has been vacant since Fan Zigai's death, seems to be more suitable for making some arrangements for the deployment of troops, right?"

Wang Xuanying was stunned and stared at Master Chai.

Is this Chai Shao, who followed Li Xiuning from Yangzhou to Jinyang? Is he the worm in the Shangshu's stomach? How can he understand the twists and turns in the Shangshu's stomach so clearly?

Chu Pingsheng held up the cup and fanned himself, then took a sip of wine: "Thank you for the banquet, uncle. I am very happy to meet the three beauties today."

After saying this, he placed the unfinished wine glass on the table in front of Wang Shichong and turned to walk outside.

Rong Fengxiang thought of the strange business of "the No. 1 Pawnshop in the World" and suddenly had a premonition that he had made a mistake.

"Who is your Chai family's backer?"

Swish!
Chu Pingsheng swung the folding fan and closed it. He stopped, turned around and smiled at him.

He just smiled and continued walking forward.

"I have never done good deeds in my life, I only love to kill and burn people. Suddenly, the golden shackles are opened, and the jade locks are broken. Hey! The tide is coming on the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am."

The hearty voice floated into the quiet pavilion, penetrated into everyone's ears, and was blown away by the breeze, startling the water lilies by the pond.

Rong Jiaojiao looked at the windy courtyard and thought that the Li family seemed to have offended a powerful person.

"Uncle, you are so calculating!"

Dong Shu Ni's pretty face turned cold. She stared at Wang Shichong for a few more seconds, said something angrily, and left with the intoxicating fragrance.

Seeing that Shuanglong looked unhappy, Wang Xuanying hurried forward to comfort them, saying that it was just a rhetoric used by Chai Shao to alienate their relationship and they must not believe it. If they were still worried, they could go to Jiangdu and wait first. After two days, the father and son would reach their destination and then go to the palace to meet the emperor together.

After he said this, Shuanglong really believed it. After all, Chai Shao was suspected of forming an alliance with Yu Wenzhi, so it was normal for him to seize the opportunity to alienate them from the Wang father and son.

PS: Some characters from the TV series will be there, and I will add characters that are not in the novel as needed.
