Chapter 308

But the image of Xiaoyaosheng at this moment is that even if he is thrown into a pile of beggars, he can be regarded as one of the most outstanding ones.

When Zhao Ying followed Zhang Liang, Xiaoyaosheng had stopped fussing. He was holding a chair with both hands, squatting on the ground, muttering to himself with distracted eyes, and his whole body had lost all energy.

Hearing the footsteps outside, his ears twitched instantly, and his whole body seemed to be pressed on a spring. He jumped up from the ground and threw himself on the door.

He banged the door with all his strength.

"Let me out, let me out, let me out..."

Just listening to it, I feel like this guy is pretty miserable.

Zhao Ying: ...

At that time, I really wanted to kill this guy's arrogance, and I really didn't want to keep him locked up for so long, but isn't it quite busy——

"Open it——"

Zhao Ying signaled to the guard beside him, who immediately opened the door with the key.

Almost as soon as the door was pushed open, a figure rushed toward him. Before the guards around him could react, Zhao Ying had already taken action.

bang——

He grabbed Xiaoyaosheng's arm and forced him to the ground like a chicken.

Who knows, even so, Xiaoyaosheng struggled to turn his head, squinted his eyes, and greedily looked at the sky outside, grinning loudly, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing.

It seemed that Zhao Ying was a little worried, whether he would be locked up for too long and this guy would be stunned.

Xiaoyaosheng struggled for a while at first, but found that he couldn't struggle at all, so he lay down completely, letting Zhao Ying press him into the cool yard. However, a pair of eyes began to focus slowly, and slowly With energy.

When Zhao Ying saw this, he smiled and let go.

Xiaoyaosheng continued to lie on the ground for a while, then supported the ground and slowly got up from the ground. He looked at Zhao Ying who was looking down at him with a smile, and then looked back with lingering fear at the quiet room with the door open behind him. .

"How does Your Highness want to deal with this poor man..."

Zhao Ying could not help but secretly marvel at how quickly his mind returned to normal despite lingering fears. To this day, he still remembers the state of Gai Nie and Zhang Liang when they first came out of the quiet room.

Even though both of them were tough-minded people, it took them two or three days to recover.

This guy has almost recovered so quickly.

Putting aside the fact that this guy is a liar, he really does look like a master.

"Why, these days of intensive cultivation, is it possible that the Taoist master has achieved a thorough enlightenment and improved his cultivation? I look at the roots of the hair, and it has begun to turn from white to black. Could it be that he is rejuvenating?"

"That is……"

Xiaoyaosheng subconsciously wanted to fool him, but after seeing the teasing smile on Zhao Ying's lips, he shut up.

"Your Highness is joking, joking..."

Zhao Ying sighed with regret.

"I thought the Taoist Master had improved his cultivation, and I was just thinking about whether I should let the Taoist Master continue to meditate for some more time..."

"No, no, no..."

Hearing that Zhao Ying actually planned to continue to imprison him, Xiaoyaosheng almost collapsed on the spot and couldn't speak smoothly.

When Zhao Ying saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

Looking at this big liar who was obviously only 40 or [-] years old but pretending to be an old god, he shook his head in disbelief and sighed.

"I can't believe that in this era, there are still people who think of ways to dye black hair white. It really shouldn't be underestimated..."

Having said this, before Xiaoyaosheng could say anything, he suddenly stopped the smile on his face and looked coldly at Xiaoyaosheng, who was standing opposite him and had secretly made preparations to escape.

"If you are sensible, you'd better not think about escaping, otherwise, I don't guarantee whether you can continue to live..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

The movement of his feet suddenly stagnated.

Very wisely, he gave up the plan of waiting for an opportunity to escape, and looked at the emperor's eldest grandson who was having a good time with a shy face.

"The villain was just deceived by eating lard, and actually deceived His Highness. I will never dare to do it again - Your Highness, please don't remember the villain's fault, and spare the villain this time..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Good guy, this bitch doesn't even call himself a villain now, he has been replaced by a villain.

He was not afraid of being blamed by Sanqing, so a thunderbolt struck him.

"You used the name of a Taoist priest to deceive and try to obtain a large amount of money by illegal means. You have violated the criminal law. According to the laws of Daqin, your behavior is the same as that of a thief..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying looked at this guy who claimed to have lived for two decades with interest.

"So, you are equivalent to trying to steal millions of dollars. According to the law, you should be fined, have a pinched nose, and a broken hair..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiaoyaosheng, whose expression had changed drastically.

He stretched out his hand and made a downward movement and said calmly.

"Inflict palace punishment and enter the battle of Lishan..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

Instantly I felt cold under my crotch and I tightened my legs.

Zhao Ying then said leisurely.

"However, Gu has always been magnanimous and kind to others. He is especially forgiving to people with supernatural powers. It's not that I can't give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you are willing..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

Nowadays, everyone is a slave and I am a fish. Now that he has fallen into the hands of others, what else can be done?

With a pop, he fell to his knees.

"I am willing, I am willing, I am willing..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I haven't negotiated the terms yet, are you willing now?

He waved his hands somewhat boredly.

"Okay, you go down with Zhang Fucheng to sign a selling agreement first. From now on, you will work with me to pay off the debt. The monthly salary - forget it, since you are quite pitiful, then I will give you a little more. , give me a thousand dollars..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

So, I have to work for you for 100 years even if I don’t eat or drink?

Seeing the constipated look on his face, Zhao Ying waved his hand indifferently.

"You don't want to? Forget it, Gu has always been kind to others and never forced himself on others..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

"The villain is willing, willing!"

Zhao Ying raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"I think you are quite agile, so from now on, you can stay with me and act as an errand boy..."

Having said this, he waved his hands in disgust.

"I want to wash away your bad smell first - and by the way, I want to dye your hair back. It's both black and white. What do you mean..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

She followed Zhang Liang down to clean up with a frown on her face.

Zhao Ying turned back to the back garden feeling refreshed.

Everyone belongs to themselves, so is the legendary Qing Gong still far behind?Of course, he was also very interested in this guy's secret recipe for hair dyeing.Well, we are real people and never buy good things from others for free. We can let him pay off the debt with a secret recipe. For example, we can pay [-] yuan, which is very fair——

Xiaoyaosheng naturally didn't know that at this time, his own light-weight skills and hair dyeing secrets were already being noticed by some people. After knowing that there was no hope of his escape, he followed Zhang Liang honestly and walked out.

After walking for a while, I still couldn't help but feel curious and a little confused.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard you say before that someone once meditated in that quiet room for a period of time. I wonder who the master was?"

Zhang Liang: ...

Expressionless and authentic.

"It's just me..."

Xiaoyaosheng:......

I don't want to talk for a moment.

Until, he met Zhao Gao.

……

Although Zhuo Pei was a little obese, he acted quickly after making the decision.

After coming out of the emperor's grandson's house, he used the emperor's grandson's name to take the imperial car and returned directly to Handan.Although the terms have been negotiated with His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, in order to truly implement it, the family's approval must be obtained.

What's more, there is also the supplementary condition of the emperor's grandson.

Become the head of the Zhuo family!

All this can only be seen after returning home.

I have to say that the Chidao of the Qin Dynasty was really advanced. In this era, it was almost like cheating.The distance from Xianyang to Handan was more than 700 kilometers, and it took less than two days to get back.

It’s several times faster than taking a carriage to Xianyang!
Even Zhuo Pei, who is used to seeing the big world, had an unreal feeling when he came down from Chidao.

too fast!
With this speed of delivery of troops and supplies, where in the world is not under the threat of the imperial court's military force?

"Let's go-"

Zhuo Pei withdrew his gaze, looked at the Zhuo family's residence not far away, and gave instructions calmly.

The carriage turned and headed straight for the Zhuo family's mansion.

The old housekeeper huddled in the corner, looking at Zhuo Pei with a cold expression, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

How could it be so easy to fight between family heads and property?
One bad thing is that the father and son turn against each other.

……

"Pei'er is back. Let's talk about how things went. His Highness the Emperor's Grandson has agreed..."

As soon as he returned home, Zhuo Pei was called to his study by his Aweng, Zhuo Gong, the current head of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Pei looked at Ah Weng, who had a look of fatigue and anxiety in his eyes. He nodded first, then shook his head, sighed, walked over, silently picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for his own Ah Weng first.

Zhuo Gong:......

Mo Ruofu, his son-in-law, looked at Zhuo Pei's actions and knew that things might not be simple. He slowly sat back, looked at the son in front of him carefully, and slowly suppressed the smile on his face.

"Tell me, what's going on..."

Zhuo Pei looked at his Aweng calmly without looking away.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun said that if the Zhuo family can be loyal, they can get the right to mine, smelt and operate all the iron ore in the world..."

When Zhuo Gong heard this, he sat upright in excitement. His hands trembled and he almost pulled off all his beard.

But seeing his son's solemn expression, he slowly knelt down and sat back down.

"What about the conditions..."

He knew very well that for a merchant family like his, so-called loyalty was not a condition at all, it could even be regarded as a gift.With the background of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, the Zhuo family will have a solid foundation from now on. As long as the emperor's eldest grandson does not fall, the Zhuo family will no longer have to worry about being afraid.

"Ninety percent of all property under Zhuo's name will be ceded to the emperor's eldest grandson..."

Drogon:! ! ! ! ! !

If [-]% is ceded, can the Zhuo family still be called the Zhuo family?

Can that industry still be considered an industry?

"Did you—did you agree?"

Zhuo Pei nodded slowly.

When Zhuo Gong heard this, he couldn't help but stood up suddenly, patted the case, and cursed.

"Wicked! Do you know that if [-]% of the property is ceded, can this property still be regarded as the property of our Zhuo family? From now on, the name of my Zhuo family will no longer exist in the world. The ancestors' paths are tangled, and the foundation that has been worked hard for generations will be lost forever. Mourning at the end of the dynasty..."

Zhuo Gong was holding on to several cases, breathing heavily, staring at his son in front of him with red eyes.

"When the time comes, not only you, but also Aweng and I will be the descendants of the family. After death, I will not be able to see my ancestors - I cannot agree to this..."

Zhuo Pei's expression remained unchanged, looking at his panting father, he sighed softly and lowered his voice.

"Ah Weng, King Zhao has been dead for more than ten years..."

Zhuo Gong:......

In an instant, it was as if someone had ripped out his spine, and he slowly collapsed on his seat.

Zhuo Pei took a step forward, his huge and fat body slowly squatted down and looked straight into the eyes of his aunt.

"At that time, King Zhao was probably not willing, and probably felt shameless to meet his ancestors - but the Kingdom of Zhao is gone, so is King Zhao, and the royal bloodline of King Zhao is almost gone - even Zhao Xie, now He has also become a bereaved dog. The general trend is that our Zhuo family is not the only one..."

Zhuo Gong:......

Zhuo Pei's words completely defeated the struggle in his heart, and his eyes slowly lost their sparkle.

Zhuo Pei sighed softly.

"Ah, I once read the Tao Te Ching and heard someone say, "Misfortune is where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortune lies." Today's changes in our Zhuo family have never failed to bring blessings to future generations... "

Drogon's eyes remained motionless.

Zhuo Pei could only stand up slowly.

"Although the Zhuo family has lost [-]% of its property, it has gained the right to mine, smelt and operate all the iron ore in the world. From then on, our Zhuo family will no longer be a fat sheep to be manipulated at will, and will no longer be a piece of paper. According to the imperial edict, merchants who can only abandon their homes and careers and migrate thousands of miles become the lackeys of the imperial court and the subordinates of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Pei looked down at his Aweng from a high position.

"The Zhuo family will not disappear. It will even become bigger and more prosperous. It will just exist in a different form. Aweng, you should know that you can't stop this, and our Zhuo family can't stop it either-"

At this point, he sighed and turned away.

"Aweng, you are old, have a good rest. Our Zhuo family will have me in the future——"

After a pause in his tone, he finally added.

"This is also what His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun meant..."

Zhuo Pei turned around and left, and Zhuo Gong slumped down on his seat, seeming to have aged dozens of years in an instant.

After sitting alone for a long time, he finally struggled to get up from the ground.

"Come here, inform all the elders in the family that I have important matters related to the survival of the family that need to be announced!"

Zhuo Pei, who had just returned to his yard, paused subconsciously after hearing the news, and couldn't help but look back in the direction of his Aweng's study.

Zhuo Gong knew his son, but he didn't know Zhuo Gong, his aunt.

He knew that for the sake of the family, his Aweng would definitely make the most correct choice, and he would also have a way to convince those stubborn and stupid elders to make concessions. Although this step was a bit painful, the emperor's eldest grandson chose Zhuo family, Zhuo family has no choice.
