Need for a Guard

Chapter 769 Shooting yourself in the foot

Yantong's phoenix eyes were smiling, and her brows and eyes were looking forward, revealing that after being flattered by He Dan, she looked elated, but in her heart she knew very well He Dan's real intention of getting close to the Meng family and belittling the Kong family. i^

He Dan is knowledgeable, responsible, and tolerant. He treats the Meng family and the Kong family equally. made a huge change.

The two brothers of the Kong family, the eldest brother Kong Qiufeng, also known as the father of Kong Liren, are entrenched in Hangzhou and dominate the south of the Yangtze River. Except for the three families of Meng, Xun and Han, they have no rivals.

Kong Qingfeng, the second elder brother of the Kong family, is a young Jinshi and No. 2 in the second class.

There is such a glorious promotion path, naturally, firstly because of his own knowledge, secondly because Kong Qingfeng is good at drilling, and thirdly because Kong Qiufeng, the eldest brother of the Kong family, gave him countless gold and silver to open up the relationship with Xiao Yan , After following Xiao Yan's path, he was able to rise straight to the top.

Everything went smoothly, and Kong Qingfeng was always Xiao Yan's confidant between Shi Yue's appearance, until Shi Yue, Bai Mochou, and Kang Shanzhen plotted to make Xiao Yan voluntarily abandon Kong Qingfeng, and Kong Qingfeng was imprisoned , fend for itself.

Seeing Kong Liren's face, Shi Yue and Bai Mochou tried their best to protect Kong Qingfeng, thus avoiding Kong Qingfeng's imprisonment. Kong Qingfeng could not settle down in the capital. He became the official minister of the small court in the south of the Yangtze River.

The arrival of Kong Qingfeng made He Dan very nervous.

In the past, Kong Qingfeng was an official in Beijing, and He Dan treated the Kong family indifferently, but when Kong Qingfeng came to Hangzhou as an official, the situation was very different.

Kong Qingfeng is knowledgeable, talented and famous, knows how to drill, has great ambitions, and has a good relationship with King Fu. Behind him, Kong Qiufeng, the eldest brother of the Kong family, used money to pave the way for Kong Qingfeng——the third son who was an official in the south of the Yangtze River when Kong Qingfeng first entered the south of the Yangtze River. In just one day, Kong Qiu's scenery spent more than one million taels of silver on the banquet to cleanse the dust. i^

Where did all this money go?

He Dan knew very well that he must have sent a lot of gifts to the officials who attended the banquet. Even He Dan himself received 1 taels of silver.

And such a combination of government and business, and the Kong family's large-scale bribery of people's hearts, made He Dan feel unprecedentedly nervous. He guessed that Kong Qingfeng's plan was huge, and he would definitely not just satisfy the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

From that moment on, He Dan put down his airs and quickly colluded with the Meng family - He Dan needed money to pave the way, and the Meng family needed to take advantage of it.

Both sides get what they need, hit it off!

The ultimate goal hidden in He Dan's heart is to get Kong Qingfeng away, or to death, so how can it make the Kong family feel better?

Yan Tong quickly figured out the matter in his mind, and guessed that He Dan joined forces with the Meng family to fight against the brothers of the Kong family, which was also a check and balance strategy deliberately arranged by the emperor's brother, but he didn't think it was strange at all, but admired that the emperor's brother really had The means of imperial power.

"Prime Minister He said it really well, it made me feel much less guilty, but..."

Yantong smiled, "I can understand what Prime Minister He said, and Mr. Meng can understand it, but those businessmen who insulted me behind my back, or those who directly lost their interests, really don't understand at all, hey ... In order to make Bengong's ears quieter, this eccentric move is still unacceptable."

As soon as these words came out, He Dan and Meng Jiao were shocked!

Meng Jiao stood up tremblingly, and stammered: "The eldest princess means...is..."

Yantong said indifferently: "In order to show fairness and justice, I have decided to hand over the tea business for the next three years to the Kong family, so as not to provoke people."

"what?"

Meng Jiao and Kong Liren stood up at the same time, both showing incredulous expressions, but there are two types of inconceivability, Meng Jiao's eyes are full of panic and anger, while Kong Liren's eyes are full of surprise and excitement...

Kong Liren immediately knelt down in front of Yantong, and said loudly: "Thank you for your love, princess, please rest assured, the Kong family will manage the tea business in an orderly manner, and will never embrace the way and rules of business just because of violence. "

Yantong smiled, glanced at Shi Yue, and then said to Kong Liren: "You and Shi Qianhu are friends, Shi Qianhu trusts you, and I naturally trust you unconditionally. Get up."

"Thank you, princess!"

Kong Liren stood up, his face still brimming with uncontrollable excitement, he cupped his hands to Shi Yue and said, "Thank you, Brother Shi, for your concern."

He never dreamed that the tea business, which he had worked so hard to achieve but could not achieve, would succeed because of the eldest princess' appreciation for Shi Yue.

This reason sounds unbelievable, but Kong Liren couldn't help thinking about it. He glanced at Shi Yue and then at the eldest princess, but he felt that the two were very good-looking.

Meng Jiao's heart felt as if it was scorched, he was stunned by Yan Tong, but he didn't know how to resolve it.

He plopped, knelt in front of Yan Tong, and stammered: "His Royal Highness, your decision is really...somewhat difficult, and the Meng family...Meng family will not agree."

"Hehe, the Meng family won't agree?"

With a bang, Yan Tong slammed the teacup on the table heavily, squinting her eyes, shooting a sharp light, her face darkened, she looked directly at Meng Jiao, and said angrily, "Mr. Meng, who showed loyalty just now? You are grateful to this palace, and you obeyed what you said?"

"I..." Meng Jiao knelt there, speechless, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

Yantong curled her lips, feeling extremely annoyed, "You still say that this palace is making things difficult for others? Hmph... Bengong asks you, what do you mean by being difficult for others? The tea business gave you the Meng family, and your Meng family's economic boom has benefited, but it is Ben who is scolded. Gong, does this count as a difficulty for the Meng family?"

"Princess, please calm down. Meng Jiao was reckless just now, and he didn't know how to speak properly. Meng Jiao deserves to die, really deserves to die."

Meng Jiao was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly.

But Shi Yue leaned over, added fuel to the fire, and seduced Yan Tong: "Your Highness, don't be angry, your body is yours, if you get angry, someone will feel distressed, maybe someone is having fun!"

Yan Tong rolled her eyes at Shi Yue, sat silently and muttered, "Who is distressed? You...are distressed?"

I...I feel bad for a fart, you cruel bitch, there is no one who loves you.

Shi Yue pretended not to see what Yan Tong said, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Meng Jiao, and said, "Besides, what did Mr. Meng say wrong just now? Accidentally, I mistakenly said what was really in my heart."

"That... being able to say heart-to-heart words to the eldest princess is the heart of Mr. Meng. However, in the words, it seems that not only is he not grateful to the eldest princess, but also has a strong sense of resentment? Will you repay your kindness with revenge?"
