MTL - Daily Life In Qin Dynasty-Chapter 224 it's a pity
Chapter 224 What a pity
Everyone glances at you, and I say a word.
Although these Nanyang landlords and nobles are greedy for money, they have no intention of risking their lives.
Now that Mr. Mo's reputation is well known, and at this time when South Korea is falling, it is obviously not a wise decision to rashly take revenge on a top nobleman of the victorious Qin State at this time.
Before they didn't know that [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] was behind Mo Jun, so they sent someone to assassinate Xiong Da.
I found out later.
Several nobles who had participated in the operation that day decided to withdraw from the next plan.
"It's okay, I have resolved your scruples."
While everyone was discussing, the white-haired old man in the front row suddenly said: "In the next action, as long as we don't hurt the lives of those people, someone will help you if the trouble comes from that Lord Shengping." We blocked it."
"Um?"
Hearing the white-haired old man's words, the rest of the people immediately cast surprised glances.
"Patriarch Huang means..."
"Don't forget, the state of Qin is not the only top dignitary like Mr. Shengping. Recently, this old man just hit a line. It just so happens that South Korea has fallen. If we can get on board with that lord, maybe I’m not sure if I have the opportunity to go further.”
The white-haired old man stroked his white beard under his chin, smiled and spoke confidently.
Everyone's eyes lit up slightly.
"How did Mr. Huang get in touch with the dignitaries in Qin State?"
It is no wonder that some people have this question, because although these local nobles have great power in the local area, even the local county guards often need to be restrained by them.
But there is another meaning of imperial power not going to the countryside, which often means that the countryside will not go to the city.
These local clans are local snakes in the local area, but once they leave their own territory, they are ordinary snakes.
Although it is not completely without connections.
Don't forget.
Nanyang was still part of South Korea's territory more than half a month ago.
Even if these local clans have the power to intervene in the royal power, it is only the royal power of South Korea and has nothing to do with Qin.
And now that Nanyang has just fallen, the Huang family has actually contacted the dignitaries of Qin, how can this not surprise them.
Facing the man's question, the white-haired old man suddenly laughed, but he didn't answer directly, he just replied: "That Lord Shengping is still too young after all, since he came to power, he alone has offended Qin State so much. Nobility. Now in the entire Qin country, there is more than one person who wants him to die?"
The remaining seven people looked thoughtful.
In fact, they have heard about everything that Mr. Mo did in Qin during this period. Among other things, the hundreds of newly built academies in Hanzhong are so big that all the scholars and schools in the seven kingdoms are all moved by the wind. .
With such a big commotion, it would be difficult for them not to know what happened.
"I don't know which adult in Qin State the old Patriarch Huang contacted?"
Someone couldn't help asking.
The white-haired old man opened his mouth and was about to answer, but at this moment, he heard a voice suddenly coming from above:
"Actually, I also want to know this question. I wonder if Patriarch Huang can let me listen to it together?"
The sudden voice suddenly changed the faces of the eight people present.
"who?"
"Whoever trespasses here, get out of here, old man."
"Come on, where are the guards?"
Everyone spoke loudly, but no matter what movements they made, there was no guard outside the door entering the lobby, only pieces of black feathers fell from the sky.
Afterwards, accompanied by ghostly afterimages flickering, Hei Yu quietly appeared in the center of the lobby.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Several nobles, you don't need to shout, your guards won't come in... never."
Following Hei Yu's last words, the eyelids of the eight people in the lobby twitched subconsciously.
At least three pieces of information were revealed by the other party’s sentence just now.
One, the opponent is very strong. After all, they are the top landlords and nobles in Nanyang. How could they not bring a few high-end guards when they travel late at night.
But now the guards of the eight of them were dealt with silently, without even a hint of reminder, which is enough to imagine how superb the other party's martial arts are.
Secondly, the other party did not break in by accident, and obviously knew their identities before they came. In other words, the other party's trip was aimed at them.
Third, the other party was not kind.
After judging the current situation in an instant, the eight people calmed down from their panic.
Anyway.
These people are also the patriarchs of the major families, and they still have this state of mind.
"My friend, what's the point of visiting the humble house late at night? If you're not in a hurry, how about sitting down and having a drink first?"
The white-haired old man sorted out his emotions, then slowly raised a wine glass towards Hei Yu and said.
"Heh~~ There's no need to drink. Everyone's time is very tight, so let's not waste time, let's get straight to the point! There is only one purpose for coming here tonight, and that is to ask a few people for an explanation."
"An explanation? I don't know what explanation this friend wants to ask for?"
"A few days ago, the president of my family's chamber of commerce was assassinated, and he escaped with his life. After investigation, it seems that he has a very close relationship with them at this time. I wonder if they can give an explanation. My lord is on a business!"
The eyes of the eight people changed, and after looking at each other, one of them cupped his hands and said, "This friend is from Hanzhong?"
Hei Yu nodded and said: "Not bad!"
Seeing Hei Yu's face, the ugly faces of the eight Nanyang nobles suddenly became even more ugly.
Although they were a little worried that Mo Jun would retaliate before, this speed is a bit too fast!
After a while.
The hooded old man who was the last to arrive tonight among the eight stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "My friend, to tell you the truth, this is a complete misunderstanding. I didn't know about the caravan at first. It is under the command of that adult."
"Let's do it! I'm willing to give you five thousand gold as an apology. I don't know what this friend wants."
South Korea is measured by "big gold". If five thousand gold is exchanged for Qin gold coins, it will be 20,000 gold coins. Such an apology can indeed be regarded as quite sincere.
Not every local noble is as rich as the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun back then. Five thousand gold is not a big deal for these eight local nobles.
This point can be seen from the painful look on everyone's faces after the hooded old man said this sentence.
But they did not object.
They are very clear that the five thousand gold is not so much an 'amendment', it is more appropriate to say it is money for life.
"Oh? It seems that you guys are really sincere! But before discussing the 'amendment', I have one more question to ask Patriarch Huang."
Speaking of this, Hei Yu looked at the white-haired old man with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I would like to know, who is the nobleman of the Qin Kingdom that Patriarch Huang mentioned just now?"
Black Feather's words caused the white-haired old man's eyes to change slightly. The next second, the white-haired old man suddenly moved, kicked the desk away, blocked Black Feather's sight, and jumped out the window without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hei Yu also sighed faintly, his eyes gradually turned cold: "What a pity!"
