Kowloon wins

Chapter 187
"Evil obstacle, evil obstacle, wait, wait..."

The old man was completely stunned by the ugliness of the elder brothers, pointed at the old Shisan and the others, tremblingly unable to speak a complete sentence.

"Huang Ama calm down, Huang Ama calms down, this matter is all my son's fault. I failed to control my younger brothers, and this evil thing happened. My son is terrified. Please ask Huang Ama to calm down."

In the chaos, the prince suddenly fell to his knees and begged with snot and tears. These words seemed to be persuading the old man to calm down, but no matter how they sounded, it didn't sound right. I am complaining.

"Huang Ama calm down, my son thinks that the tenth brother is really wrong in this matter, but the thirteenth brother is arrogant and domineering, without any respect, but it is not right. He should be beaten and punished. I ask Huang Ama to reprimand you. Take care of your dragon body."

Master Jiu was very shrewd, seeing that the prince had bad intentions, he dared not follow through with his intentions, so he hurried out from the side, fell to his knees on the ground, and begged bitterly.

"Huang Ama, your dragon body is very important, you must not lose anything!"

"Huang Ama, calm down and deal with this matter slowly."

"Please Huang Ama calm down!"

……

Seeing that the crown prince and the ninth master had kneeled down, all the elder brothers dared not stand still, from the eldest elder brother to the lower seventeenth and the younger elder brothers all knelt on the ground, chattering in unison He gave me a lot of persuasion.

"Get out, get out of here!"

The old man was already in a hurry, no matter what everyone said, he slammed the table and roared angrily.

"Huang Ama calms down, Huang Ama calms down, my son, etc..."

Hearing the old man's scolding, all the elder brothers panicked, at least on the surface, and they all rushed to kowtow.

"Get out, get out!"

The old man's anger was not so easy to dissipate. He really didn't want to see all the elder brothers kneeling in front of him again, and he didn't want to listen to the elder brothers' explanations.

"Huang Ama take care, son and minister will leave!"

The old man had already talked about this point, and the elder brothers didn't dare to stay any longer, so they could only thank each other, and each left the hall and went out of the palace on their own.

"Your Majesty, your dragon's body is important. This matter can be dealt with slowly. Don't hurt your dragon's body."

The elder brothers have all gone, but Ma Qi and the other great scholars have not left, but facing the furious old man, no one dares to come forward to speak out easily, only Tong Guowei who has just become an official But he was more courageous, walked out from the sidelines, and persuaded the old man with gentle words.

"Oh, evil, evil, I, alas..."

The old man is a shrewd master, although he was dizzy when the incident happened, but as soon as his anger subsided, he immediately realized what was wrong in this farce, and he felt really sad.

"Your Majesty, this matter is all due to clearing debts. A minister, a person who has become an official, shouldn't discuss current affairs randomly, but he has a block in his heart, so he has to risk his life to speak out. Please forgive me."

Tong Guowei knelt down on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and spoke earnestly.

"Forget it, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The old man sighed for a long time, waved his hands weakly, and agreed to Tong Guowei's request with disinterest.

"Report to Your Majesty, it is a good thing to clear the deficit of the national treasury, and it is also a matter of urgency for the court. It is feasible but there must be rules and regulations. It seems that there is something wrong with the current compulsion to compete, but now it is so troublesome. Selling the property to pay off the debt is really a disgrace to the imperial court, although there are serious misbehaviors among the ten princes, but the law cannot be ignored if you are forced to do so, please Your Majesty pay close attention to it."

Tong Guowei took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart forcibly, and told the story as calmly as possible. Although the words were [-] big boards each, they were actually persuading the old man to re-evaluate the debt settlement. It is clear that he is extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the fourth master and the thirteenth master forcibly chasing after him.

"Well..., in your opinion, what should this matter be like?"

Things have gotten to the point where they are now, the old man knows that it may be unsustainable to settle the debt, no matter what, the imperial court wants to save face, and now there is a ten elder brother who sells the property, and if he comes down again, he will point out There may be more jokes, this is naturally not the situation that the old man would like to see, but the old man does not want to give up halfway, after all, it is an indisputable fact that the national treasury is empty, besides, Fourth Master and others have acted too ruthlessly A little bit, but after all, he was doing business, and the old man couldn't bear to blame him. He hesitated in his heart, and he really didn't know how to solve this matter for a while. After pondering for a while, he still threw the problem to Tong Guowei.

"Your Majesty understands that I believe that this important task must be undertaken by someone who is capable and able to do it. Therefore, I propose that the King of Chengjun preside over the matter. It should be a great success. This minister's humble opinion is also true. I also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."

Tong Guowei was obviously waiting for such a question from the old man, without even thinking about it, he answered the answer he had already had in his heart.

"Huh? Third child?"

The old man really didn't expect that Tong Guowei would push out the third master to replace the fourth master, and he couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the disaster relief in Henan is coming to an end, and great progress has been made in the river regulation. The rest of the affairs are just a matter of order. With the two cadres, Governor Chen Qidong of Beihe and Governor Rongzhu of Henan, there will be no troubles. There is really no need for Prince Cheng to hold the battle in Henan, and Prince Cheng's son, Hong Qing, is quite organized, and he once competed in the Hecao Yamen with outstanding achievements, and his father and son will come forward to settle their debts, so there is no danger."

Tong Guowei was obviously determined to push the third master into the mud of the clear pond. Seeing that the old man was hesitant, he hurriedly explained it from the side.

"Well, I'll think about this matter for a while, and let's just go."

The old man can trust the abilities of the third master and his son, but thinking about replacing the third master with the fourth master, it would be unfair to the fourth master. It can be regarded as quite successful. Such a sudden change of horses would have dealt a severe blow to Fourth Master. The old man really couldn't bear it. After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't make a final decision, and he didn't want to ask the other senior scholars He waved his hand and gave the order to chase away the guests.

"Sir, please retire!"

Hearing what the old man said, Tong Guowei and the others dared not say any more, they saluted together and left.

"Ugh……"

Everyone had already left, but the old man didn't move, he stood in a daze for a long time in the empty hall, at the end, let out a long sigh full of melancholy, then turned around, dragged his feet, and turned back with heavy steps apse...

At three o'clock in Haishi, the night was getting darker, and a full moon hung high in the sky, shining cold moonlight on the world, as if the earth was covered with a layer of mercury, even if the lamp was not lit, it was very bright, Babeile Outside the West Flower Hall of the mansion, Ba Ye and others were sitting in the moonlight, sipping tea and chatting casually, but apparently they were a little absent-minded—everyone's eyes would look at the gate of the courtyard from time to time After a few glances, it seems to be looking forward to it.

"I've seen the eighth master!"

Waiting and waiting, just when Ba Ye and others were getting impatient, a figure flashed at the gate of the courtyard, and a burly man walked up to him, bowed to Ba Ye, that's all. According to the etiquette of the Jianghu, this man's surname is Zheng, his name is Mingrui, and his nickname is "Iron-armed Ape".

"No, how's the situation?"

Seeing that it was Zheng Mingrui, the third master immediately flashed a trace of anxiety, but he didn't express much, he just asked indifferently.

"Returning to Ba Ye, there is a letter from the other end, saying that it has been done according to what you said, but the holy will is still pending, and it is hard to predict whether the matter will come true."

Zheng Mingrui was well aware of the importance of this matter, so he didn't dare to act recklessly, so he just reported the news concisely.

"Well, I see, let's go down and rest."

Hearing that the holy will was unclear, Ba Ye couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just waved his hand and sent Zheng Mingrui away calmly.

"Grandma is a bear. It's the season. It's not clear yet. Could it be that this fight was for nothing?"

Shi Ye is a rough-tempered person, and when he heard that the holy will was not clear, he immediately became angry and cursed without any scruples.

"Tenth brother, don't talk nonsense, if this word gets out, it must be a joke!"

Hearing that Old Ten was talking nonsense again, Master Jiu was afraid that Master Eight would be offended, so he hurriedly scolded him from the sidelines.

"Hey, come on, why don't we stop talking, listen to myna!"

Master Shi had always been the kindest to Master Jiu, seeing that Master Jiu was unhappy this time, he couldn't talk nonsense anymore, grinned, and handed over the decision-making power to Master Ba.

"Sir, what do you think of this matter?"

Ba Ye ignored the interruption from the two younger brothers, and after immersing himself in thought for a while, he raised his head, bowed his hands to Lu Chunyan solemnly, and saluted Lu Chunyan.

"Although the Holy Majesty is hesitant, he has no choice. The third master will return soon!"

Lu Chunyan had already calculated the overall situation in his heart, and now, facing the question of the eighth master, he gave an incomparable answer without thinking.

"Ha, in front of me? That's a good thing, grandma is a bear, I have long been displeased with the third son's bastard, and it's time to show some color to the dog father and son, hahaha..."

As soon as Lu Chunyan finished speaking, before Ba Ye could express his opinion, Shi Ye laughed out of joy.

"What Brother Ten said is that the third child has always had a good life, and it's time to make him suffer a little bit!"

Although the old fourteen had some friendship with Hongqing, but the personal relationship was personal. On the way to seize the heirloom, he had no friendship at all. If he had the opportunity to beat the third master and his son to the ground, he would never be soft-hearted He went, and hurriedly followed suit.

"Huh..., that's good, that's good!"

Although Lao Jiu didn't have too many words, he couldn't help shouting "Hello" when he let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, then go prepare yourself."

Ba Ye was calm, and ignored the nonsense of the three younger brothers. After thinking for a moment in silence, he calmly made a decision.
