Daming Junior Scholar

"Why not? Who said there wasn't?" Mrs. Xu turned her face back and said, "Xu Cheng, come here and tell Mr. He how much money the guards of our Xujiabao get every month." Xu Cheng had already Standing behind the old matriarch, he didn't interrupt until the old matriarch called him, then he came over and said with a smile: "Mr. He doesn't know, our Xujiabao is not a place that is short of money, but Anyone from Xujiabao,

Ten taels of silver will be given out every month, the guards... double. "I'm so dizzy now, according to Xu Cheng's statement, if I work as a guard here for a month, I can get 20 taels of silver. With such a good place, how could anyone go there just to earn his own taels of silver? He Jiaan finally realized that he The idea has been shattered,

He couldn't help sighing, turned around and wanted to leave, but just as he was about to turn around, the old lady Xu said suddenly: "However, there is a way, that is, I don't know if Jia'an will agree."

"Oh, what way?" He Jiaan immediately turned his head and looked at the old lady curiously.Mrs. Xu looked at He Jiaan with a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly after a while: "It is the condition I just mentioned, as long as Jia'an becomes the son-in-law of this Xujiabao, then this Xujiabao will be yours. Xujiabao's guards naturally listen to you

In other words, if you ask them to guard the fort, they will guard the fort, and if you say to resist the Japanese...they will naturally resist the Japanese. Turning around, and then returning to this condition, He Jiaan hesitated for a while with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, he said seriously: "Thank you Mrs. Xu for your kindness, but Jiaan still said the same thing. I already have a virtuous wife, so naturally I won't marry again, and as for the fight against Japanese wives...it has nothing to do with me. "

Chapter 297 Benefit Driven

The loud and loud words made Mrs. Xu stunned, and Xu Cheng who was beside him felt uneasy, and whispered: "Presumptuous." He Jiaan didn't even pay attention to his meaning, and continued: "Since the words have come to this point, I will let you go." To be clear, I, He Jiaan, came here to fight Japanese pirates not for myself. One, I have no official status, not for any so-called political achievements.

"

"Second, I was only entrusted by King Ning to fight Japanese pirates. The militia had military pay, but I didn't."

"Three, my home is in Qingjiangpu, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there is no harassment by Japanese pirates. There is no need for me to come here."

"So, now you understand, it's not just me that you rejected, but an opportunity to drive the Japanese pirates out of Daming completely." Regardless of whether he was right or not, He Jiaan finally expressed all the grievances in his heart. After finishing speaking, Xu's mother and son suddenly fell into silence, and felt that there was nothing wrong with He Jiaan's words.

, were originally two irrelevant things, there is no need to get involved in this matter.After a long while, Mrs. Xu raised his head slowly, but He Jiaan, who had just stood in front of him, had disappeared. However, he did not walk too far, but sat beside Ding Hongyang, and the two were talking in a low voice. what, it seems

But it seemed that Ding Hongyang was teaching him something.

"Mother, why don't I call Mr. He over?" Xu Cheng leaned over to Old Madam Xu and whispered. "Forget it, people have their own aspirations, so don't force him." Mrs. Xu shook her head slowly, then raised her eyes to look at Xu Cheng, sighed softly and said, "My mother is getting old, but this vision But it's still good, Cheng'er, if it's possible

If you don't want to, you might as well lend it to Mr. He through someone, just let him owe you a favor. "

"But, mother." Xu Cheng hesitated, and was about to say something, but seeing the old matriarch's calm expression, he nodded obediently and said, "Yes."

He Jiaan didn't know the conversation between the mother and son, and then sat next to Ding Hongyang, as if he forgot what happened just now, and began to eat and drink.The Xu family's birthday banquet was naturally huge in scale. The meal started at dusk and ended late at night. After the end, He Jia'an and Ding Hongyang came to the courtyard allocated to them, and the guards who brought them did not

Take a rest, and feel relieved after seeing the two of them come back safely. "Jia'an really shouldn't have said those things to the old lady today." After the guards were driven back to rest, He Jia'an and Ding Hongyang made a pot of tea and sat in the yard, feeling the autumn atmosphere. Breeze, Ding Hongyang sighed softly, and continued: "If Jia'an wants to unite with the nearby villages to form a militia, they must first seek the support of Xujiabao. As long as they are willing to send out people, even dozens of people, they will eventually take the lead. role, when the time comes to contact other villages

Much easier. "Brother Ding didn't hear what the head of the Xu family said. The guards of the Xu family actually gave out 20 taels of silver a month. Such a big deal, let alone King Ning, probably couldn't even get it from the emperor of Beijing City." Come out, if you don't believe me, we

After we went back, we asked Miss Su how much money her family gave to the guards. "He Jiaan said without complaint.

This money is indeed a big problem, if you give too much, you can't afford it, if you give too little, people won't come at all, Ding Hongyang couldn't help but sighed, and he had no idea.Just as the pot of tea was bottoming out and the two of them were about to rest, Ding Hongyang, who was sitting, turned his head suddenly, which startled He Jiaan. Following his gaze, there was a It was pitch black, and he was captured by Ding Hongyang

Infected by his movements, he couldn't help whispering: "Brother Ding, what did you find?"

"Someone." Ding Hongyang simply said two words, and then He Jiaan saw a glimmer of light through the gap in the courtyard gate.

It was so miraculous that people could really hear footsteps farther away after practicing martial arts. He Jiaan couldn't help but glance at Ding Hongyang with admiration. Not long after, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard.He shouldn't be a bad person who can knock on the door so openly. He Jiaan went to open the door with confidence and boldness. When he opened the door, he saw two people he didn't know. Your life, please Ding Li

I'm going through the house with Mr. He. "

It's so late, you actually have something to do with yourself?

He Jiaan couldn't help but blinked his eyes in doubt. Could it be that what he said just now really moved Mrs. Xu, that she was really tempted?

But not necessarily, I can't even offer any favorable conditions other than empty talk, so why would people be tempted.

Then what would it be?

He Jia'an was confused and couldn't think of a reason, but Ding Hongyang was more cheerful, and said directly: "Why do Jia'an think so much, go and have a look and you will know."

Brother Ding is still right, you will know if you go and have a look.The two people came out of the yard directly, followed them and walked in the direction of Xu's mansion. There is no such thing as a curfew here, but there are a few street lamps on both sides of the road, which seems extremely wasteful, but thinking of Xu's

Generosity, this oil money should not be a big deal in their eyes.

After passing through the gate, walking the way they came during the day, and passing through a door, the two of He Jiaan were finally brought to a hall. Looking at the brightly lit hall from a distance, He Jiaan saw an unexpected person at a glance. figure.

Pion, why is he here?He Jiaan and Ding Hongyang exchanged glances, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. After the two entered the hall, they realized that there were actually not many people in the hall. Shi

Mother and son, and another person he didn't know. After introducing them, He Jia'an knew that this was also a Lizheng of the village, named Chao Peng.

First they were polite, and then the two of them sat down. Ding Hongyang asked first: "Is there something important for the Majesty to call us here so late?" Old Madam Xu chuckled, obviously talking to Ding Hongyang , but this gaze can't help but always look at He Jiaan. Just now, He Jiaan's attitude did make her a little angry, but when I thought about it afterwards, like this kind of not doing it for money

The person who is moved by money is not the person I am looking for. If he can't wait to agree to it as soon as he lists the conditions, such a person will have no bottom in his heart.

"I'm really sorry to bother you two at such a late hour, but there is still an important matter that I want to discuss with you. For the specific content, I'd like to ask Pi Lizheng to tell you."

Pion again?Before he could open his mouth, He Jia'an knew what kind of idea this fight was about. He fooled himself and Ding Hongyang into failing, but came here to fool Xu's mother and son, and the most unexpected thing for him was that the two seemingly shrewd mother and son actually believed it. up

What he said was just that he didn't know whether it was Xu's idea or Pi Ang's idea to find him and Ding Hongyang.If it was Xu himself, he would understand it, but if it was Pi Ang... Could it be that he really solved his own problems?

Chapter 298 The Way Is Not The Same

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Pi Ang gave Xu's mother and son to trust him so much. He Jiaan didn't mean to object at the beginning, but looked at Pi Ang with interest, and just wanted to hear it. know kung fu,

What kind of plan can he come up with.Although Pi Ang's voice was quite impassioned, He Jia'an didn't hear any intention of planning in it from the beginning to the end.

Bao split the light and finally left.

Isn't this fooling the fool?However, Pi Ang's statement made Xu's mother and son nod repeatedly in agreement. When he finished speaking, Xu's old lady looked at He Jia'an with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. He, do you think Pi Li is serious? How about this idea?

"Does the old lady want to hear me tell the truth or lie?" "He Jiaan didn't mean to save Piang's face at all. At such an important moment, any suggestion by himself would have different effects, so He Jiaan directly stated that he

own meaning.

"This..." Mrs. Xu never expected to hear such an answer from He Jiaan's mouth. After being stunned for a moment, she said with a smile: "Well, let's listen to the lies first."

"It's a lie, Pi Zhuangshi's idea is naturally good. Concentrating on attacking the Japanese pirates' lair will not only restore the place to peace, but also snatch back all the wealth accumulated by the Japanese pirates over the years. Obviously, it will kill two birds with one stone."

Anyone can hear the slight sarcasm in He Jiaan's words. The smile on Mrs. Xu's face gradually disappeared. After listening to He Jiaan's words, she pondered for a while, then said softly: "What about the truth?" I'm afraid it won't sound good to come out, but the old matriarch is still a little bit prepared." He Jiaanteng stood up from his chair and looked directly at Pi Ang, which made him turn his head with a guilty conscience, not daring to look directly at him. what

Jiaan's gaze.

"The family is safe, but it doesn't matter." Mrs. Xu nodded. "Actually, I had already heard these words of Pi Zhuangshi at noon. At that time, I remembered that I raised many questions, but just now I heard Pi Zhuangshi's words, but there was no solution to these problems. Now that Mr. Xu also have

Meaning, then I will explain these problems again from the beginning to the end. If Mr. Pi Zhuang can solve them, then Yongcun Village will naturally have no objections. "

Although what He Jiaan said was reasonable, he could not represent Yongxiang. Ding Hongyang who was sitting on the side suddenly said: "Jiaan's words are what I, Ding Hongyang, meant." That is to say, as long as He Jiaan agrees, Yongxiang will naturally appear. people.

Seeing that there was no objection around him, He Jiaan turned his eyes to Pi Zhonghai, first sized him up, and then asked: "At noon, it was said that Pi Zhuangshi strayed into the island of Japanese pirates because he was hiding from a storm. Yes or no?"

"Yes." Pi Zhonghai nodded.

"Did the strong man go to the island to check it out? How big is the island? How many pirates did you meet? And where are the pirates' lairs? Have you ever been there?"

"This..." Cold sweat dripped down Pi Zhonghai's forehead, and every word He Jiaan asked seemed to hit his heart. He just moved his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. good.

After hesitating for a long time, Pi Zhonghai murmured: "Of course I went to the island, but I was frightened back when I saw Japanese pirates from a distance. As for how many of them... I didn't see clearly."

"You didn't see it clearly?" He Jia'an seized the loophole in his sentence, and snorted disdainfully: "In this case, how many people does Pi Zhuangshi plan to organize to go to the island?"
