After the wedding banquet, Wan Liyun went straight home and walked into the study with a livid face. Today's secret discussion among the ten owl men in Dongting made all his previous efforts in vain. If You Wuniang led Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu to defect to the imperial court, Then the prosperity and wealth will belong to You Wuniang, Huang Haibo, and Ye Hainiu. Without him, Wanli Yun would have nothing to do.
¡°Dad, you¡¯re looking for me.¡± Not long after, Wan Changsheng walked in and shouted to Wan Liyun who was sitting behind the desk, deep in thought.
"Changsheng, do you think it's better for me to be the master of Dongting Lake, or to have an official career?" Wan Liyun came back to his senses, looked at Wan Changsheng seriously, and asked in a deep voice.
"Dad, of course I want to be an official. Is Huang Haibo the Lord of Dongting Lake? But I don't have to listen to the words of those people in the government and act based on their faces!" Wan Changsheng heard this and smiled on a chair nearby. Sitting down, "Dad, why did you think of asking this today? Do you want to be an official?"
"There is a big fortune waiting for us right in front of us, but the risk is too great, and dad hasn't made up his mind yet." Wan Liyun took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Dad, what happened?" Wan Changsheng saw that Wan Liyun didn't seem to be joking, so his face straightened and he asked in a loud voice. He had rarely seen Wan Liyun look so indecisive.
"You Wuniang has a sharp tongue. If she really convinces the imperial envoy, then they will transform from lake bandits to heroes in countering the rebellion. They will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and they will also be able to honor their ancestors." Wan Liyuan He told Wan Changsheng the result of today's secret discussion among the ten owl men in Dongting, and then said with a sneer, "They have been dominating Dongting Lake for almost twenty years. If they want to turn over so easily, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Every advantage has been taken by them!"
"Dad, what are you going to do?" After Wan Changsheng learned that the result of the secret discussion among the ten owl men in Dongting was to use the treasures left by Zhong Feiyang as gifts in exchange for the trust of the imperial envoy, Wan Changsheng suddenly became interested and said with great interest Looking at Wanli Yun, this shows that the Ten Owls of Dongting have the opportunity to become officials of the imperial court and completely get rid of their status as lake bandits.
"Dad, after thinking about it, I think You Wuniang's idea is a good idea. In this way, we no longer have to look at the faces of those in the government office." Wan Liyun put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked over In front of a painting of roaring tigers and mountains hanging on the wall, he said with emotion, "Our ancestors of the Wan family have never been an official of the imperial court. If we can seize the opportunity this time, we can become a sixth-rank official." It¡¯s not impossible to take over one¡¯s body, and maybe I can still be in charge of a party by then.¡±
"Dad, are they really willing to give up so much treasure to others?" Wan Changsheng stood up and came behind Wan Liyun, and asked with some suspicion. In his opinion, no one would be willing to give away so much treasure for nothing. To give it away, could it be that the Ten Owls of Dongting were not tempted at all when faced with so much money, and had no idea of ??taking it as their own.
"There is a saying that goes like this: A man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure. Although the treasure is tempting, it is a scourge, and whoever gets it will be unlucky!" Wan Liyun turned around after hearing this and smiled at Wan Changsheng. , "We are not fools, and no one has made a fortune over the years. Now they just want to leave a way out for their children and grandchildren in peace, and live the rest of their lives safely with their current property."
"Dad, do you want to find the Imperial Envoy?" Wan Changsheng nodded when he heard this. Time has smoothed the edges of the Ten Owls in Dongting, causing them to lose their former arrogance. He pondered for a moment and asked in a loud voice. .
"Whatever You Wuniang can give to the Imperial Envoy, dad can give to him. Whatever You Wuniang can't give to the Imperial Envoy, dad can give to him." Wan Liyun had a proud smile on his lips, staring at the hanging hanging on the painting. Jing Dahu said coldly, "Who do you think the Imperial Envoy will choose at that time?"
"Dad, what leverage do you have against them?" Wan Changsheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously after hearing this. He really didn't know what Wan Liyun could give the imperial envoy and what You Wuniang couldn't give.
"Contribution!" The smile on Wan Liyun's face gradually turned ferocious, and he said gloomily, "Dad is going to give the Imperial Envoy a big credit, and the Imperial Envoy will definitely like it."
"Dad, what kind of credit?" Wan Changsheng couldn't help but become more and more confused after hearing this. He was confused by Wan Liyun's words. What great credit could Wan Liyun give the imperial envoy?
"You Wuniang and the others colluded with the Merit Sect and secretly funded it. They are guilty of conspiracy. If the Imperial Envoy can capture them, it will definitely be a great achievement." Wan Liyun put his hands on the painting and said proudly, "At that time, my father will be a hero. Not only did he dedicate the treasure under the Dragon King Temple to the Imperial Envoy, but he also gave the Imperial Envoy a great service. He will definitely be put into great use by the Imperial Envoy."
"Dad, treason is a serious crime. If that happens, they will all be executed!" Wan Changsheng couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Wan Liyun's plan would be so vicious. Uproot You Wuniang, Huang Haibo, Ye Hainiu and others.
"If we don't do this, how can we impress the imperial envoy?" Wan Liyun sneered and said to Wan Changsheng, "Remember, if they are neither poisonous nor husbands, it is better for them to die than to show off their power by riding on our heads."
"Kid, remember." Wan Changsheng heard this, raised his hands to Wan Liyun, and said loudly.
"Are you thinking about Lian'er and Bai Yu?" Wan Liyun glanced at Wan Changsheng and suddenly asked, "There is no better son than a father." As a father, he knew exactly what Wan Changsheng was thinking.
"Dad, I can't hide anything from you." Hearing this, Wan Changsheng showed a look of embarrassment on his face. Like Huang Weijie and Ye Zhenshan, he has liked Lian'er since he was a child, and he also likes Bai Yu. Unfortunately, he is not qualified to talk to Huang Weijie. He fought with Ye Zhenshan, so he could only bury this feeling deep in his heart.
"It's just two women. After you gain power, you can have as many as you want." Wan Liyun's eyes fell on the painting on the wall again. "If you want to achieve great things, you can't let your children grow in love." Blinded your eyes."
"What dad teaches is that children know how to do things." Wan Changsheng looked straight and said to Wan Liyun in a deep voice. Since he wanted to become a "big thing", he would not stick to these "little details", just like Wan Liyun said, Once power is gained, what kind of people can women not get?
"You stay in Junshan during this period and pay more attention to what's going on on the island." Wan Liyun heard this and ordered Wan Changsheng without looking back.
"I know, dad." Wan Changsheng bowed and replied respectfully after hearing this.
"You Wuniang!" Wan Liyun looked at the eye-catching tiger in the painting for a long time, and slowly clenched his right fist. He must see Guan Haishan before You Wuniang. In this case, the chance of convincing Guan Haishan would be greater. At the same time, he also showed his sincerity in surrendering to the imperial court.
The next day, according to the pre-arranged plan, Huang Haibo hosted a banquet for Lu Changhe at his home, saying that the Ten Owls of Dongting were willing to give the wealth under the Dragon King Temple to the Gongde Sect to support the great cause of the Gongde Sect, but he hoped that in the Gongde Sect After he succeeded, he was able to work in the capital and expressed concern about the Gongde Sect's capture of Nanxian County.
Lu Changhe never expected that Huang Haibo would use delaying tactics, nor did he expect that the Ten Xiaos of Dongting would adopt You Wuniang's idea and decide to risk everything and fight against the odds. He thought that Dongting Lake was surrendering to him under the pressure of the Gongde Sect's capture of Nanxian County. He couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart. As long as he could get this one million taels of wealth, he would have made a great contribution. He would be rewarded and valued by the superiors. When he succeeds in the future, he would be promoted to a noble rank. Occupying a prominent position.
In Lu Changhe's view, since the Dongting Ten Owls donated 10,000 taels of silver to the Gongde Sect, plus the intermittent funding in the past few years, the total amount of funds has reached nearly 20,000 taels. The Dongting Ten Owls have unknowingly Having boarded the big ship of Merit Sect, I have no choice but to take refuge in Merit Sect.
As the saying goes, it's easier to get on the boat than to get off. The boat of Gongde Sect is not something you can get off easily. In Lu Changhe's hands, people from Dongting Lake have been interacting with people from Gongde Sect without knowing it in the past few years. With these letters and the fact that Dongting Lake funded the Merit Sect with 20,000 taels of silver, even if Dongting Lake jumped into the Yellow River, it would not be able to clear its relationship with the Merit Sect.
If Dongting Lake dares to have second thoughts, then the Gongde Sect will report the evidence to the court. Emperors of all dynasties have adopted bloody suppression of rebellion, and Emperor Qingping will naturally be no exception. Once the evidence reaches the court , Dongting Lake will surely suffer disaster.
It was Lu Changhe who laid out this plan for Dongting Lake. Lu Changhe was very satisfied with his layout. Not only did the Merit Sect get a lot of convenience from Dongting Lake, but it also dragged Dongting Lake into the water, invisibly strengthening the The strength of merit teaching.
Now for Lu Changhe, the wealth of one million taels is far more important than the current situation in Huguang. With such a huge sum of money, the main hall of the Gongde Sect can use this fund to set off a bigger revolution in Dashun. The storm is more important than Huguang alone.
Therefore, Lu Changhe was determined to get the one million taels of wealth left by Zhong Feiyang. He had to get this huge amount of money no matter what. It had far-reaching significance and far-reaching influence on both him and the Merit Sect.
Lu Changhe thought that Huang Haibo's conditions for serving as an official in the capital were quite normal. After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. To put it bluntly, in all dynasties, millions of taels of wealth could be purchased from the imperial court. A prestigious official position, let alone Huang Haibo's desire to be an official in the capital, it is perfectly normal for him to want to find a job in various major yamen.
