The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 848: Business
"Everyone says that I beat him by half, but I know that he let me."

Hong Shengnan laughed: "You still have self-knowledge."

Qian Weining ignored her and continued: "I don't know why he backed down, but I know that with his temperament, there should be a bigger plan."

"Where is this layout, I don't know. The only thing I can confirm is that his sudden retreat seems to be related to a secret organization under him."

"And there is a guy named 'Eight Life' in this organization. I met him some time ago. As for what this 'Eight Life' said to him to make him choose to give in to me, I don't know."

"These news are all sent back by my confidantes and secret posts. After many confirmations, I think it is completely credible."

Hearing this, Li Dao and Hong Shengnan looked at each other, as if they thought of something at the same time, this may also be in their prediction, they did not speak to each other.

"If his game is aimed at me, or even the entire Scholars' Mansion, and he may even have a bigger plan, then I think he will most likely find time to come to the central capital to influence this 'negotiation of the seven surnames' .”

"Coincidentally, I heard that the Head of Haoran offended the Duke's Mansion because of a 'trivial matter' before. Li Ehai once said that he would kill you with his own hands, destroying your decency."

"What Qian means is that I hope that Mr. Haoran can join hands with me to deal with him. Qian guarantees with his personal reputation that he will bear the responsibility of 'pretending to be a prince's mansion' for you."

"Thinking about it, for such a trivial matter, the Duke's Mansion should sell some face, so as not to tear face with the Scholars' Mansion, but the premise is."

"If Li Ehai really came to Zhongdu...no matter what he is planning, we cannot let him succeed, we must let him lose face, so that Qian will be able to bear the responsibility for Mr. Haoran. "

"Similarly, if we fail, my weight is not enough to keep Mr. Haoran and your family upright. That's all Qian wants to say. What does Mr. Haoran think?"

Li Dao smiled.

Hong Shengnan also laughed.

"Having said so much, it turned out that I was painting a big cake."

Li Dao lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said: "No one sentence is true, Mr. Wei Ning, do you think I'm so easy to fool?"

"We joined forces with you to deal with Li Ehai. If we win, you will help me carry it. If we lose, I consider myself unlucky. Doesn't saying this mean that I didn't say anything?"

"What if it's a tie? With your weight, it still doesn't increase or decrease, and you still can't help me carry it. Taking a step back, even if you really win, you are personally willing to help me carry it. Is the scholar's government willing to come forward? "

"As far as I know, although you have shown a challenge in the scholar's residence, many people don't like you as a 'concubine', and they don't want to see you in the top position."

"At that time, even if you win, they will try their best to hold you back and suppress your power and prestige, just like this time, when you were sent to Zhongdu, you will rise and fall secretly."

"When the time comes, the Duke's Mansion will deal with me. Even if you stand up for me, will the people in the Scholars' Mansion make things difficult for the Duke's Mansion because of these 'trivial matters'?"

"Obviously not. They will press you, pull you, and find all kinds of reasons to hinder you. Hmph, you are not the 'Dazai'. How dare you make such a promise to me?"

Qian Weining nodded slightly, and said, "You're right, but how do you know if you don't try it? This is your only way out. If we defeat Li Ehai, there is no doubt that your affairs will turn around."

Li Dao chuckled lightly and said, "Don't bother, I'll take care of my affairs myself."

Qian Weining turned to look at Hong Shengnan, shook his head and said, "Mingtang? I can't bear it."

Li Dao denied: "It's not Mingtang, and I never planned to ask Mingtang to help me carry it."

Qian Weining was puzzled: "Who is that?"

Li Dao didn't answer, Hong Shengnan dragged his chin with one hand, raised his head and looked sideways at the big man, and said with a smile, "Clearness, have you heard of it?"

Qian Weining was momentarily confused, who is Clearance?Buddhists?Who is powerful, have you never heard of it?

After a while, he suddenly remembered this person, and asked in a little surprise, "Li Changsheng?"

Li Dao said with a smile: "Now that I have realized the Bodhisattva fruit, it should be called 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva'. Do you think a Buddhist Bodhisattva can protect me?"

"This is impossible!"

Qian Weining screamed and stood up abruptly, almost hitting the beam with the top of his head, staring at Li Dao with piercing eyes.

Li Dao didn't say a word, and took a sip of tea calmly. He said "impossible", whether he thought it was impossible for Li Changsheng to help me, or it was impossible for him to prove the "Bodhisattva fruit".

Maybe both, but it doesn't matter.

Qian Weining looked at Li Dao for a while, and then looked at Hong Shengnan again.

Hong Shengnan shrugged: "Look at what I do? Believe it or not, believe it or not, pull me down."

Heh, a bodhisattva scares you like this. If I tell you that he is the master of the sword, don't you go crazy.

Qian Weining took a deep breath, sat down again, and after a long silence, said with mixed feelings: "Although I don't know why, Li Changsheng would... I will investigate."

"But I hope that Mr. Haoran can think about it. Li Ehai is very powerful. I don't think I am his opponent... This is the truth."

"Now that Mr. Haoran's worries have been relieved, as far as I think, it should be a big price to let a Bodhisattva come to stand for Mr. Haoran, and he will be subject to many constraints."

"It is impossible for the Bodhisattva to help you deal with the Duke's Mansion. At most, it will only protect you for a while... Let's put it this way, I heard that Mr. Haoran is a 'business' person, so we will treat this as a business."

"Mr. Haoran, please set out the conditions. What do I need to pay before Mr. Haoran will help me?"

Faced with this situation, Li Dao has no reason not to speak up, it was you who took the initiative to be slaughtered, don't blame me.

"Since it's a business, I'll take it."

Li Dao nodded, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The prerequisite for this business is that I will help you deal with Li Ehai, and foil all his plans against you or the scholar's residence. Is it this way?"

Qian Weining said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Li Dao hummed lightly, and said: "Then I will make some conditions. First, you must not obstruct the reports of the "Zhongdu Evening News", no matter what is reported on it."

Qian Weining thought for a moment: "Yes."

"Secondly, I want to have a look at all the 'chronological records' of the Scholars' Mansion from ancient times to the present. Of course, they are the ones that do not involve secrets. As Mr. Wei Ning, the records that can be accessed normally shall prevail. .”

"As long as it doesn't involve secrets, yes."
