I have a backstage in Datang

Lu Zhaoyun was also dragged away.

But everyone was only focused on negotiating, and they didn't pay attention to one thing, that is, Gu Tianya after killing someone, it seemed that something was wrong with him.

It seemed that he was frightened and stupid, and it seemed that he was insane. Since he killed Sun Zhao, his face and eyes were full of bewilderment.

He kept muttering to himself, as if he was really demented, and kept saying: "It doesn't matter whether I die or not, what about the food for the people in the world? Is this the way of the world if people continue to starve to death? Sun Qi, Sun Qi , you see, I can't do anything!"

Li Jiancheng burst into tears and hugged Gu Tianya's shoulder.

He turned his head to look at the crowd, weeping sadly, and said: "Look at my brother-in-law, he has become like this, can you save his life, and give him a little wish... Return some of the land and food embezzled by your family. Ladies and gentlemen, can you save face?"

Want another face?

Return some of the embezzled land and grain?

All the families present looked at each other in blank dismay!

They looked at Gu Tianya, and then at the mournful and weeping Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. For some reason, they had the illusion that these two people were acting, but their acting skills were better than Lu Zhaoyun's.

One pretended to be a fool to escape the crime of killing an official.

One cried loudly and made a request smoothly.

The cooperation is very tacit.

……

Although they knew that Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng were acting, but none of the five surnames and seven Wangs present would expose it.

Today's matter, after all, needs to be settled.

Unless it is a last resort, no one is willing to overturn the table. The aristocratic family is indeed tyrannical, but the Li family's royal family is not just for nothing.

If they really get to the point of tearing their skins apart, many people will die regardless of each other.

This is not the way to benefit.

Concession is the only way to maintain balance.

So, it's time to end.

The aristocratic families present looked at each other quietly, and then a young man stepped forward. He was the representative pushed by the crowd and was responsible for reaching an agreement with the royal family.

This young man is not someone else, he is indeed the Zheng Guanyu who summoned his family members to go to Hebei, unfortunately he failed to catch up with the Turkic World War, and instead became the representative of the family today.

His elder sister is Li Jiancheng's concubine, so everyone pushed him out for negotiation.

But seeing Zheng Guanyu with a wry smile on his face, when he came out, he first called Li Jiancheng brother-in-law, and then said helplessly: "The world's aristocratic families can retreat, but the royal family must also retreat. It can be seen that he has murderous intentions towards the family, so our first request is that he will not be able to hold power from now on, and he will only stay among the people forever and is not allowed to enter the court..."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Does it have to be like this?"

Zheng Guanyu nodded and said: "If ordinary people have murderous intentions towards the family, we will naturally not be so defensive, but he is the husband of Princess Pingyang, so naturally we can't take it lightly. How impulsive he seemed when he killed people today , although this is our strategy, it is also our temptation. It turns out that he has a dangerous personality. If he is in power and he is impulsive again one day, what should we do? We will kill him immediately? Let him kill him? This is definitely not possible Yes, so there must be restrictions.”

Li Jiancheng glanced at Gu Tianya, then turned back to look at Zheng Guanyu, and said helplessly, "Then what else can he do in the future?"

After all, Zheng Guanyu is one of the few soft-hearted people in the family. He sighed and said: "As long as he is not allowed to be an official, not to be in charge of power, we can do whatever we want. We will not stare at him anymore. He can stay in the Folks, it is actually quite good to be a rich man and enjoy the blessings, and it will be smooth for a lifetime."

Li Jiancheng frowned suddenly, and said in displeasure, "You want him to be a merchant?"

The status of merchants in this era is extremely humble, sometimes even inferior to ordinary people.

No wonder Li Jiancheng was displeased, if it was someone else, he would have already lost his temper.

Zheng Guanyu was obviously in a dilemma, and couldn't help but whispered: "Brother-in-law, this is the request of all the aristocratic families. If the Li royal family doesn't agree, we can only tear each other apart."

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath.

He felt sad for Gu Tianya, his brother-in-law's life was over.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya nodded suddenly with a smile, and said, "Okay, I will be a merchant. I will not be an official from now on, and I will be a rich man honestly."

Being a merchant is really promising. When the money accumulates to a certain level, the power thrown out will definitely be a massacre.

Maybe that's when the family will understand what landslides and tsunamis are.

But Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Tianya was sacrificing himself, his heart became more bitter, his tone hardened, and he turned to Zheng Guanyu and said, "We have already agreed to your request, but the aristocratic family can't just make requests. You also need to pay, otherwise this is not a negotiation..."

Zheng Guanyu nodded and said: "Since the royal family has made concessions, we will naturally make concessions. We can refund [-]% of the previous dynasty's farmland. The other is the granary left by the Sui Dynasty. The grain stored in it It is indeed empty, and we will refund part of it, but at most we can only refund [-]%..."

He actually didn't hide anything, and directly told about the aristocratic family's embezzlement of the granary, but the more this happened, the more it meant that the matter had come to an end.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Jiancheng sincerely, and said again: "Brother-in-law, you should understand that the family also needs to survive. Land and food are the root and foundation. Your Li royal family used to be a powerful family. For this kind of thing I know better than anyone that it is absolutely impossible to spit out all the meat swallowed by the aristocratic family, and the reason why the [-]% refund is already the biggest concession..."

Li Jiancheng sighed, and said with some disappointment: "I thought it would be [-]%."

Zheng Guanyu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "It is true that [-]% should be refunded, but Gu Tianya killed the official in court. He slapped all the families in the face, and we must give a punishment."

Li Jiancheng nodded, expressing his acceptance of this statement.

But Gu Tianya stopped pretending to be stupid at this time, and suddenly said: "Then I will let you slap your face once, and return [-]% of the land and food, is it okay?"

Zheng Guanyu was taken aback for a moment, and it took a long time before he said with a strange face: "You have to remember, you are no longer a mud leg, don't keep using this kind of rogue trick, it will humiliate your identity and demeanor."

For some reason, he was extremely accommodating to Gu Tianya.

He was not as sarcastic as Lu Zhaoyun, but advised Gu Tianya like a good friend.

But Gu Tianya shook his head again and again, sighed and said, "So what if you are handsome? What if you are humiliated? If I can help the common people get back some more food and land, I, Gu Tianya, will obediently kneel on the ground and let you spit thick phlegm... "

Zheng Guanyu was taken aback again, and suddenly looked up and down Gu Tianya. After a long time, he said again: "Now I finally understand why my brother-in-law insists on protecting you. It turns out that your heart is as soft as his. , you will live very tired like this, the people of the world may not know what you have done... But, I admire it very much."

Gu Tianya was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, we are friends now. Since we are already friends, can some food and land be returned? How about [-]%? [-]% can also be discussed!"

Zheng Guanyu was dumbfounded, suddenly smiled wryly and shook his head, and said, "You're playing a rascal again, and if you do that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

For some reason, he seemed to be extremely friendly to Gu Tianya.

But his face turned serious, and he said in an extremely strict tone: "land and food are the root and foundation, it is absolutely impossible to return [-]%, and [-]% is just a dream. The bottom line of the world's aristocratic families can only [-]% back, but because you killed Sun Zhao, it is equivalent to slapping all the family in the face, so we reduced it by [-]% again, this is the punishment the family made for you..."

Gu Tianya sighed, and said: "So that's your intention, you didn't intend to kill me at all!"

Zheng Guanyu didn't hide it from him, and just nodded in recognition.

Gu Tianya glanced at him, suddenly felt admiration from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but said: "You pushed out a Sun Zhao, deliberately making him provoke me to anger, but you didn't want me to commit the crime of killing an official, your real purpose is Keep that [-]% of the land and food. What a skill, I became your marionette."

Zheng Guanyu suddenly laughed, and said: "Our family is not stupid, killing you is of no benefit, it is tantamount to tearing the face off with the royal family, and neither side wants to go to that step, it is about the fields and granaries of the previous court, We also know that it is impossible to swallow it all, but we have already swallowed it, and we don’t want to spit it all out, so we devised a plan and made a little sacrifice..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Tianya, and said with a smile: "The Sun family in Miyun died one Sun Zhao, but the entire Sun family will be taken care of, and the Tang royal family can only take back [-]% of the land and grain, which should be [-]% now." But it was reduced by [-]%, this is your sin, because it is the family's punishment for you. But, you and I both know that this is just an excuse, we are mainly not willing to part with that [-]% of wealth. "

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, suddenly gave a thumbs up and said: "I admire, I really admire. A punishment for me saves [-]% of my wealth. The family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the wrist is really extraordinary."

He felt admiration from the bottom of his heart, but Zhaoning was suddenly furious, and shouted at Zheng Guanyu: "Zheng Guanyu, are you itchy again? Gu Tianya is my man, you have to call him brother-in-law, You ate the bear heart and leopard guts today, and you dare to punish him..."

Zheng Guanyu immediately smiled wryly, and seemed to take a few steps back in fear, and then argued from a distance: "Sister Xiuning, can we explain some reason? The younger brother is just representing the family, and I am not alone in this punishment." It can be determined."

Zhaoning's pretty face turned cold, and she shouted again: "It wasn't your decision, but you said it. After today's matter is over, I will inevitably beat you up."

Zheng Guanyu shrank his neck immediately, and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya pitifully, and said, "You don't care."

Gu Tianya was a little puzzled, and subconsciously said: "I don't know you very well, why should I care if my wife hits you? Don't say she wants to hit you, in fact, even I want to hit you..."

Zheng Guanyu was aggrieved and said, "We are relatives."

Gu Tianya hecked twice, and said with a smile on his face: "But you make me unable to be an official!"

In fact, he never conceded defeat to the family.

This bow is only for the next revenge.

……

...The second update arrives, and Chapter 12 will be released at 3:[-] noon.

Chapter 106 [Suddenly there is a mysterious person]...3 more

Today's matter, the negotiation is over.

Regardless of the royal family or the aristocratic family, each chose to give in.

Everyone knows that the atmosphere cannot always be tense, otherwise they will be in a stalemate and it will be easy to talk and talk.

That's why Zhaoning pretended to be intimidating, while Zheng Guanyu complained again and again. The intentions of both parties were very obvious. Everyone mentioned the relationship between relatives to ease the atmosphere.

But Zhaoning's threat was a bit harsh. Zheng Guanyu was obviously extremely afraid of Zhaoning. He seemed to be beaten often, so he seemed frightened. Everyone knew that Zhaoning was just threatening, but he felt that he might really do it. Take a beating.

He begged Gu Tianya for help but failed, suddenly turned to Li Jiancheng, and said pitifully: "Brother-in-law, you can't just watch me get beaten up. My sister is your concubine, you must not forget this relationship."

Li Jiancheng laughed, shook his head and said, "You are my brother-in-law, Xiuning is my own sister, and this is not the first time you have been beaten by her violently, just let her beat you twice, otherwise she will go crazy and say Maybe it’s really going to kill me.”

Zheng Guanyu gave a long sigh, turned to look at Zhaoning and said, "My sister, can you hit lightly?"

Zhaoning snorted coldly, apparently not agreeing.

Zheng Guanyu looked up at the sky helplessly, and said as if extremely tragic: "Well, I am unlucky! Who told us that our two families have relatives, and every time we negotiate, I will be pushed out. Once I negotiate, I will be beaten. , I'm used to it, it doesn't matter, I'm just a doormat, and Sister Pingyang can hit me casually..."

Zhaoning suddenly said: "If you choose to leave the family, I can promise not to beat you again."

Zheng Guanyu shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again: "That must not work, I will not be stupid. The dignified son of the Zheng family of Xingyang, who left the family and joined the royal family, you will stop beating me when the time comes, Zheng family of Xingyang It will definitely kill me."

Gu Tianya suddenly said something, and said meaningfully: "I'm very curious about you, I don't think you come from a noble family, if you are interested, you can come to Gu's Village as a guest."

Zheng Guanyu hesitated for a moment, as if hesitant to make a decision, but he finally nodded his head solemnly, and said softly: "I heard that you have established several businesses in the village. I'm going to pay a visit."

Gu Tianya chuckled, stretched out his hand to signal him, and said, "Do you need to make a high-five agreement?"

Zheng Guanyu also laughed, shook his head and said, "Why make an appointment, I will go to Gujia Village with you later."

Gu Tianya nodded, and said, "That's really radiant."

The two looked at each other, and both could see their admiration for each other. What Zheng Guanyu admired was that Gu Tianya cared about the common people, while Gu Tianya admired Zheng Guanyu's free and easy behavior.

This is not like a son of a family, he does not have that kind of hostility.

……

Today's matter has come to an end. The royal family took back [-]% of the land and food, which is not a loss strictly speaking, but the family definitely made a lot of money because they swallowed [-]%.

Gu Tianya felt a little sad in his heart, and suddenly couldn't help sighing, and murmured: "I have prepared for so long, I have worked so hard, but when things come to an end, I can only accept this ending. Sure enough, manpower is sometimes poor. Mere ambition is not enough..."

This world is like this. Without strength, everything is empty talk. Today's affairs have risen to the level of the royal family and aristocratic family. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only be a spectator.

Whether the negotiation is won or lost, his power is almost negligible.

At this time, a hand was stretched out from the side, but Li Jiancheng said with a serious face: "It is very good to be able to get [-]% back."

Zhao Ning was eager to encourage, and said exaggeratedly: "Without your planning and efforts, this matter may have to wait for a long time."

Even Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although there are only [-]% of the land and grain, this is already an extremely huge wealth. The meat swallowed by countless aristocratic families was actually picked out by you. This matter has been repeated many times." Throughout the ages, I am afraid there have not been many precedents."

However, Gu Tianya still had a difficult face, sighed and said: "We all know that those fields and food belong to the common people, we all know that it is a crime for aristocratic families to embezzle food and fields, but what can we do if we know, we can only helplessly hold back .”

Someone from the other family sneered, and said mockingly: "What else do you want? Do you really think you are capable? If you have never climbed up to Princess Pingyang, who do you think will look at you? A born in Guizhou, Thinking about the common people all day long, do you think you are a saint? Is it true that you are the only one in this world who is right..."

Zhaoning was furious, looked at the man fiercely, and shouted: "Lu Zhaoyun, I think you really want to die today."

It turned out that the person who spoke was Lu Zhaoyun, but this guy was not afraid of Zhaoning's intimidation, but instead sneered: "I'm just telling the truth, so that your man can recognize his identity. Otherwise, if he continues like this, The future outcome is worrying, although we promised not to touch him again, we cannot guarantee that he will provoke us."

The implication is self-explanatory, this is to remind Gu Tianya to be more honest.

Zhao Ning's face turned livid, but luckily Li Jiancheng stopped him hastily.

Gu Tianya glanced at him from a distance, and suddenly said with a deep meaning: "Lu Zhaoyun? Fan Yang's Lu family? I wonder if there is someone named Lu Zhaolin in your family?"

Lu Zhaoyun was slightly startled, then snorted coldly, and said: "The Lu family is so huge, with branches stretching all over the place. I have never heard of the Lu Zhaolin you mentioned, so you don't need to get involved with me."

Gu Tianya smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I'm not seeking a relationship with you, I just feel it's a pity, if Lu Zhaolin really came from the Lu family, I'm afraid he will be ashamed because of someone like you."

Lu Zhaoyun was furious immediately, and said in a rage: "Don't you really think you are someone? You can survive today because of the royal family. To put it bluntly, you are a soft food. Do you think our retreat is because You? I'm afraid you think too highly of yourself..."

His tone was so harsh, but Gu Tianya was not angry. Instead, he seemed to have realized something and said with emotion: "Yes, your retreat is not because of me. In your eyes, everything I do is wrong. "

Lu Zhaoyun sneered coldly, and said proudly, "You just need to understand. From now on, you will be honest and abide by the rules. Otherwise, one day you will offend the aristocratic family, and the Li family will not be able to keep you."

He wanted to say a few more words, but he was stopped by someone. Someone dissuaded him in a low voice, and said helplessly: "Brother Zhaoyun, you have gone too far. The reason why the family is tyrannical is not because it is tyrannical. Intimidating others has actually lowered our level."

Lu Zhaoyun's face was a little uneasy, and he subconsciously retorted: "I'm just warning him, making him realize how ridiculous his actions are."

The man from the aristocratic family who held him back sighed, obviously he was unwilling to argue with someone like Lu Zhaoyun, but because they were in the same camp, he had to persuade him again, and said in a low voice: "This time, the interest dispute , both sides have their own appeals, so there is no right or wrong in this matter, and naturally it is not ridiculous..."

The man glanced at Gu Tianya as he spoke, and then said: "If you look at it from the perspective of our family, this little brother Gu is indeed extremely hateful, but if you look at it from the perspective of the people of the world? I am afraid that all The people of the Li people will all set up a plaque for him. Although he is poor, he can think about the world. This is a man with great ambition, and we should admire him. Instead of making ridicule and lowering the level of the family."

Lu Zhaoyun's face turned pale, feeling his face was burning hot, but he was paranoid, how could he admit his mistakes, and said forcefully: "A mud-legged person dares to fight against the family, even if I don't ridicule him, I still want him to recognize himself. Even if he has ambitions, his ambitions are ridiculous."

The family member shook his head helplessly, and gave up continuing to persuade Lu Zhaoyun.
