Great Tang Southern Emperor

It's impossible even if you think about it.

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, Wu Tao still respectfully said: "It's a great honor for His Highness to come to the humble house. Please move your Highness."

"Let's go." Li Zhen nodded, and didn't say too many polite words. The difference in status between the two parties is too great. If she acts too close, it will make Wu Tao feel uncertain. It's not because she maintains a slight sense of alienation. is the most suitable.

"The humble house is humble, please don't mind, Your Highness." This house was not bought by Brother Wu Bo in the city, but a house rented by Wu Lao Liu himself near the pier.

Wu Laoliu's house is not small, with two entrances, but the quality... Although it is still complete on the whole, it is not considered a dilapidated house, but the house is also very old, with dilapidated traces everywhere-to be honest, in From Wu Tao's point of view, Li Zhen's coming here simply humiliated his status as King of Yue.

"It's okay." Li Zhen didn't care.

Wu Tao said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness, please sit down, Cao Min will invite father to come out."

Just when Wu Tao left to ask Wu Laoliu to come out, at this moment, there was still a father-son situation going on.

"Bastard, when did you learn to deceive people? Don't think that your father is getting old, so you're confused." At this time, Wu Laoliu is not as half-dead as before?I saw him sitting on the bed, spitting all over Wu Bo's face: "You can't lie to others, and the King of Yue has come to our house? How noble is the King of Yue? Will he come to our poor place?"

Wu Bo on the opposite side had a wry smile on his face. How could he not know at this moment that his father was just pretending to be sick?

But now is not the time to pursue this matter. Seeing that the old man does not believe his words, he can only patiently say: "Father, how dare you lie to you? I am the most honest. When did I lie to you? His Royal Highness Yue really Here we are, we have already arrived at the door, the elder brother has already gone to open the door, you should hurry up and greet him."

"Hey." Seeing the serious look on the second son's face, Wu Laoliu sighed deeply: "Second son, daddy knows that you want daddy to get up, but daddy is sorry for you, daddy really has no face See you, it’s a good boat, why did he just say it’s gone? I’m sorry, why did I covet the little money... If I park the boat in the berth, what’s the matter today? But... I still Just die."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Wu Bo was in a hurry: "Our brother didn't mean to blame you. There are unpredictable things in the sky. To live at sea is to fight against the sky. Isn't it normal for a ship to capsize? ?Your old man has always been blessed and fateful. He has been at sea for decades, and he has never encountered any danger. Even the Dragon King couldn’t stand it anymore, so he capsized the boat—but it’s not a bad thing. Because this boat is gone, it means that your disaster has passed, and the Dragon Lord will have no excuse to trouble you in the future, and you will go to sea again in the future, so you don't have to be trembling."

"Hey..." It's a pity, if Wu Laoliu could listen to persuasion, he wouldn't behave like before.

"I said, why aren't you ready yet? His Highness the King of Yue has already arrived." Just as the two father and son looked at each other, Wu Tao came in. Seeing that Wu Bo and Wu Lao Liu were still talking, he immediately became anxious: " Dad, you'd better get up quickly, His Royal Highness the King of Yue came this time to see you...he's already waiting in front, hurry up."

Wu Lao Liu gave him a strange look: "Boss, my second brother lied to me, how could you lie to me? What good is it good for you to lie to my father together? I have never even met King Yue, how could he Come to see me? What is his identity? What is my identity?

Boss and second, daddy knows that you are doing it for daddy's own good, but it's better not to tell such a lie, it's fine to tell it in front of daddy, but if outsiders listen to it, maybe we will suffer. "

"Oh, dad, who lied to you?" Wu Tao was about to go crazy: "The king of Yue is really in front. You haven't seen the king of Yue, but I have. I can still admit my mistake? He is really here, I want to see you."

"But..." Seeing that the elder son's expression didn't seem to be pretending, Wu Lao Liu was a little suspicious: "Really?"

Wu Tao said: "Of course it is true, when have I lied to you?"

"Then dad will trust you just once." Wu Laoliu hurriedly got up and got dressed under the service of his two sons.

When he came to the main hall, Wu Laoliu saw a gorgeously dressed and noble boy, sitting on a chair and playing with the jade pendant. Seeing that the entire courtyard has been occupied by guards with big arms and round waists, even the corners are guarded by several guards.

Seeing this scene, why Wu Laoliu still doesn't understand, the young man in front of him is undoubtedly the King of Yue—Wu Laoliu is a sensible person, at least in Yuezhou City, there is no one who is qualified to have this standard of guards except the King of Yue personal.

Wu Laoliu, who had a good idea in his heart, immediately knelt down to Li Zhen: "Caomin, Wu Du, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Yue for thousands of years."

"Old man, please get up quickly." Li Zhen quickly helped him up: "This king's visit this time is not a big deal, but I just heard that your boat was destroyed by the storm, old man Wu, so I came here to find out the situation. "

"Ah?" Wu Laoliu was taken aback, what do you mean?How did the King of Yue know about my ship capsized?And come here specifically to ask?Why is this?

"Old man, the thing is like this..." Li Zhen came here, of course, because of the issue of compensation, and Wu Laoliu, as half of his own people, naturally had to start with his own people.

Chapter 676

Chapter 39

When Li Zhen came out of Wu's house, she was full of smiles, because he knew that as long as he did a few more of the same things, his goal would be achieved.

Li Zhen left satisfied, but Wu Laoliu's family looked at the silver ingot on the table with bewildered faces.

After Li Zhen had walked for a stick of incense, Wu Laoliu finally came to his senses: "This...our ship is destroyed, and the court will pay for it?"

"Father, this is not compensation, this is condolence money, you have to remember this." Wu Tao knew the meaning of this, and quickly said: "Didn't your Highness say it? This is because the government did not do a good job, which led to The lives and properties of the people have been greatly lost, and this amount of money is regarded as condolences from the imperial court, not compensation for the ships, so you must explain this clearly when you go out, so that no one can misinterpret His Highness’s meaning.”

"Oh, dad understands. Dad is not an idiot. He won't talk nonsense when he goes out." After all, Wu Lao Liu is also an old Jianghu. Then he understood the meaning of his words: "But these ten taels of silver...the boat...I..."

"Daddy, don't worry." Seeing that Wu Laoliu was feeling depressed again, Wu Bo hurriedly said, "Father, our boat is fine, there is nothing wrong with it, really there is no problem at all."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wu Laoliu was fine immediately, and happily raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by that? Is our boat not damaged? This is really great."

"It's not... oh... Dad, it's like this." Wu Tao also quickly explained: "Insurance, our ship is insured, and it is still within the validity period. Now that our ship has a problem, the bank will lose money to you. Our—their compensation is enough for us to buy a new boat."

"What you said is true?" Wu Laoliu immediately became interested. He is also a veteran of the sea, and he has heard of insurance, but he was a little suspicious: "You didn't lie to me, did you? When did our family Bought insurance? Why didn’t I know?”

"It's true, dad. I bought the insurance for the boat when I bought the boat." Seeing that his old father didn't believe it, Wu Tao quickly took out the insurance policy: "Father, this is the insurance policy issued by the bank. If you still don't believe it, we Now go to the bank to settle the claim."

"Really? Let's go."

Similar to the conversation between Wu's father and son, it was neither the first nor the last family in Yuezhou, but the news that the King of Yue arrived at this time and visited the affected people spread like wildfire in the city of Yuezhou.

The public naturally welcomes this.

"His Royal Highness King Yue is indeed a good prince who wholeheartedly serves the people."

"Wu Lao Liu has really cultivated his confidence for eight lifetimes, and he can entertain His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

"That's right, with this experience, even if he goes down below, it's enough to explain to the ancestors of their Wu family."

"Why don't I have such good luck? If His Royal Highness King Yue comes to my house, even if I die immediately, I will admit it."

"Oh, His Royal Highness Yue is so close to the people, you say, it would be great if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor."

"Hey, in the future, it seems that this ship still has to park in the berth, otherwise it will be destroyed by the storm, and then it will be regrettable."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there insurance?"

"Are you sure the bank will compensate you in full every time? You have learned a lesson and you don't know what to do. Even if your ship is destroyed, you deserve it."

"That is to say, besides, the bank's compensation depends on the age of your ship. Wu Laoliu is a new ship. If you save the ship, they will not give you full compensation."

"..."

The people naturally applauded, but in the eyes of some people, Li Zhen's actions were full of evil intentions.

"Hmph, Li Zhen has a great way to buy people's hearts."

"I think Li Zhen can't sit still anymore, he's probably going to..."

"Shut up, do you dare to say such a thing?"

"I really hope that dogs will eat dogs between them. If Li Zhen fails, that would be great."

"Hey, this is probably impossible. Now everyone can see that as long as Li Zhen doesn't die, his succession is basically a certainty. How could he fight Li Shimin?"

"That's not necessarily true. If Li Shimin lives long enough, what if Li Zhen can't wait?"

"Then let's pay homage to the gods every day, and ask the gods to bless Li Shimin with a long life."
