Chapter 69: The world is dangerous, sir, please try again
"What does your face mean?"

Beside the Jinjiang embankment, in the drizzle, Zhao Duan's voice was cold and violent.

He designed three response postures for this meeting.

A kind of humility, the original owner was already bullying the subordinates and flattering the superiors, so it was not unexpected.

One that is neither humble nor arrogant, focusing on stability.

The third type, the most radical, is to show the original surly and unruly character.

He decided on this strategy after the other party showed off his power. A villain who once gained power should not have to swallow his anger.

This is the play style that best suits the character.

As for whether Pei Kaizhi will be angered and lead to the collapse of negotiations?

He believed that the enemy's defenses should not be broken.

"You know what you're talking about?"

The raindrops hit the bamboo hat, and Pei Kaizhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he narrowed his eyes, filled with the aura of being in a position of power for a long time.

Zhao Duan refused to retreat or evade, and said tit for tat: "You are old and can't hear well? Do you want me to say it again?"

Pei Kaizhi said indifferently:

"It's been years since anyone dared to talk to me like this."

Zhao Duan said quietly:

"You have to be clear about three things. First, I am in Baima Prison, and I only listen to the orders of the saints. It is okay to show off in front of the people below. But it is not okay for me. I dare to offend Li Yanfu, let alone you?"

"Second, in today's meeting, I am here to talk to you, not to beg. Stop your attitude of giving. Please know that within ten steps of a martial artist, fists can kill people faster than swords. If you make me anxious, you will sink into the river."

"Thirdly, I just talked nonsense with you for the sake of your beautiful daughter. Now, I also tell you my request, Lu Liang's life, and the benefits you promised. Only children make choices, I want them all! "

Hua Hua——

The rain is getting heavier, bubbles appear on the river surface, and schools of fish are roiling.

The fishing rod and line trembled slightly, but Pei Kaizhi had no time to pay attention to it.

This important figure in the "Li Party", a minister with real power backed by the Pei family in Huaishui, was stunned to face the threat that was so close at hand.

Realized that I had made a mistake.

Maybe he has been in the temple for too long and is too far away from the bottom of the world. He has forgotten that not everyone is a politician who is well versed in the exchange of interests.

Just like Lu Liang, wasn't he proud back then?
The empress’ lackey in front of us has not suffered any major setbacks since it gained momentum.

Greed is there, but the blood is still there and the backbone is still strong.

"Carrot and stick" is not a panacea. It is possible that the stick will come back and the carrot will be taken away.

Pei Kaizhi was silent for a long time and said, "Do you think I will agree to you?"

Zhao Duan smiled.

The other party's words showed that this old thief had lost the courage to lift the table and act on his own initiative.

"You will agree," Zhao Duan said with a smile: "I heard that the minister dotes on his children the most, especially the younger ones. He dotes on them even more, just like the fourth lady back then and Pei Wulang now."

Pei Kaizhi's heart skipped a beat and he realized something was wrong.

He gave birth to five children in his life. Pei Wulang was the most favored son in his old age.

Zhao Duan sighed softly: "It's a pity that there is no way to teach his children, especially Wu Lang, who is almost the age of his grandson. The minister has no energy to discipline him, and the others dare not to develop a domineering and dissolute temper. "

Pei Kaizhi said solemnly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhao Duan smiled, stood up and bent down, grabbing the fishing rod from the old servant.

He raised his wrist with one arm, the expensive fishing rod was bent like a bow, and the fishing line was straight.

The fish was struggling under the water and making waves, it must be a big one.

"There is a private gambling house in the north of the city. I met Wu Lang not long ago in it. We are similar. He had bad luck. He lost his mind for a while, so he made an IOU to me..."

Zhao Duan described the incident slowly and calmly.

Pei Kaizhi's heart also sank to the bottom of the water little by little.

"So, you are here today to collect debts," Pei Kaizhi said, his gray beard trembling under his bamboo hat, "Where is the IOU?"

"Oh, the servant thinks I will take it with me?"

Zhao Duan sneered: "If you want to verify it, you can go back and interrogate Wu Lang, and you will know whether what I said is true or false."

Pei Kaizhi said expressionlessly: "Do you think you can threaten me with this little mistake?"

"Don't dare," Zhao Duan slowly manipulated the fishing rod, sometimes tightening it and sometimes relaxing it, so that the fish could be exhausted without decoupling:

"How can such a trivial matter threaten you? The most it can do is criticize a godson for his incompetence." After a pause, he smiled and said:
"But... Wulang is not so easy to pass. This dynasty strictly prohibits Gambling, especially for officials and their children, is punished particularly severely.

If the late emperor was on the throne, he might have turned a blind eye and not criticized him harshly, but now that the empress is in charge... The minister also knows that it is raining and windy in the temple, and everyone is in danger, for fear of exposing their sore feet...

At this time, I will hand this note with my fingerprints, indicating the place, time, and gambling details to Mr. Ma.

Or simply hand it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate...the censor affiliated with the Qingliu Party...guess, what will happen? "

Guess? No need to guess at all!
Those evil wolf lackeys who racked their brains to show their loyalty to the empress will bite Goro to death.

Using the laws formulated by Taizu, he tried every means to severely punish him, making him unhappy, and even punished him with "breaking off his hand."

And it is impossible for Li Yanfu to mobilize the entire "Li Party" to fight for a dandy of the Pei family.

Pei Kaizhi's face trembled, and the big fish under the water struggled harder and harder: "If you make it public, then your gambling will also be made public."

"ha!"

Zhao Duan smiled exaggeratedly and didn't care much:

"Isn't it normal for a rotten person like me? I survived Zhuang Xiaocheng's escape, let alone such a trivial matter?

What's more, I just received a reward from His Majesty a few days ago. How can the Qingliu Party target me?
It was impeachment. At worst, they would throw me to Daoxiaolou and spend ten days and a half in jail. I would come out a good man again, but Wulang was not so lucky. "

After a pause, he smiled and said:

"My lord, you don't want your favorite son to end up with his hands and feet cut off, and be stripped of his authority and do hard work, right?"

Wow!
A white wave exploded. Zhao Duan raised his pole, and a plump red-tailed black carp pulled out of the water. He was unable to flick his tail, but he could no longer escape.

Pei Kaizhi, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He sat down exhausted and his previous domineering attitude was no longer there.

Zhao Duan's words were like steel nails piercing into his softest place.

Everyone has weaknesses, and Pei Kaizhi's weakness is his youngest son, who is different from his first three talented children who he personally taught in his early years.

Starting from Si Niang, she was spoiled, Wu Lang was even worse.

The old minister could not accept the option of giving up his younger son. In this case, he had no choice but to give up his son-in-law.

Close your eyes and open them again.

Pei Kaizhi said: "First, Lu Liang cannot die, at least he cannot die in the capital. He can be demoted to the local government, and Siniang will be reconciled with him. Then, he will live or die in the local area. I I won’t care.”

"Second, I will hand over Lu Liang's matter to the Ministry of Punishment. His official robe will be taken off, but the Pei family will not be affected."

"Third, don't even think about teahouses or magical medicines. Young people have too much appetite, so be careful. This is my bottom line."

Sure enough, it was a plastic love between son-in-law and trouble. The corner of Zhao Duan's mouth curled up.

When I caught the fat old carp in my hand, I found that the fish's lips were covered with scars, as if it had bitten the hook many times, but all of them broke free.

An old fish becomes a master, but no matter what, I have a novice protection period.

Zhao Duan laughed and said:

"I also have two requests. First, people can be arrested by the Criminal Department, but I have to participate to prevent you from causing trouble."

Pei Kaizhi closed his eyes: "Yes."

"Second, I don't like the two slaves who were waiting in the teahouse and drug store. You go back and teach them a lesson for me, so they learn to respect others."

A true villain who must retaliate... Pei Kaizhi sighed:
"That's right."

Zhao Duan dropped the fishing rod and was in a good mood: "In this case, I will go back and wait for the good news."

"No!"

Zhao Duan turned around and took two steps, then suddenly stopped, smacked his lips, and said:
"There is one more thing."

Pei Kaizhi's eyes were cold: "Don't push yourself too far."

Zhao Duan smiled and said:
“Don’t be nervous, I just want to say that fishing like this is too slow.”

The words fell.

He suddenly punched the gray Hunhe River in the air, and a faint glow flickered.

"boom!!"

The river exploded into huge waves, and water dropped from the sky, making Pei Kai's bamboo hat rustle.

In mid-air, countless fish stunned by the punch fell to the shore, and in the blink of an eye, their bellies were opened.

Zhao Duan tore his raincoat to pieces, held up an umbrella and left. When he turned around, his eyes were clear and sharp.

At this point, the "knife" he arranged to kill the opponent has been handed out halfway, and victory is in sight.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous. Please come back again, Minister.
