Chapter 850 You are too thoughtful
Boss Wang immediately looked extremely surprised and prostrated on one knee: "It is a great honor for Wang Chengzhi to win the trust of the prince."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Wang Chengzhi... I only know the name of the proprietor today. Okay, then I will leave this matter to you."
Wang Chengzhi was very excited and clasped his fists heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. I will definitely do my best!"
He was really pleasantly surprised. He understood one thing deeply. With this identity, from then on, he became the prince's person, Penglaiju, and finally had a thigh that was as thick as the sky.
"Okay, hide your identity and work hard. I can't treat you badly." Jiang Fan encouraged.
"I just want to thank you, the king. I would like to obey your order."
Jiang Fan looked at Ding Lang: "You must be careful when doing business. Boss Wang is just an ordinary person. Don't let him fall into danger."
Ding Lang nodded and said: "My subordinates will definitely act with caution. This is why I opened the restaurant opposite Boss Wang. It must be safer to use the restaurant as a way to convey information."
Jiang Fan nodded in approval: "Smart. But..." He smiled: "You want to compete with Boss Wang for business."
Wang Chengzhi smiled and said: "There is no reason to be a solitary eater when doing business. This Babaiwei can be regarded as one of the eight famous families. Once it opens, it will definitely attract a large number of regular gourmets. Maybe the business will be better."
Jiang Fan laughed loudly: "Dr. Wang really has a brain."
Wang Chengzhi kept saying he didn't dare, but after being praised by the prince, his face clearly blossomed into a smile.
"Master Wang, please go to the side hall to rest first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ding," Jiang Fan ordered.
After Wang Chengzhi resigned, Jiang Fan gently stroked the tea cup with calm eyes, seemingly not in a hurry to say anything.
Ding Lang just sat calmly, waiting for the prince to speak.
However, time passed bit by bit, and Jiang Fan never spoke.
Ding Lang could calmly deal with it at first, but after a while, he became a little uneasy.
After all, the person in front of me is the Regent of the Qin Dynasty, a person of the highest rank in the world. Even the teacher and the Supreme Emperor are extremely afraid of him. Facing such a person, no one can be truly calm.
Finally, when Zhao Gao came in to change the third cup of tea, Ding Lang couldn't help it anymore and tentatively said: "I don't know...what is the prince's order?"
Jiang Fan then said: "Nothing else..."
He raised his eyelids and looked at Ding Lang, "I was just thinking... how much of what you just said is true and how much is false?"
Ding Lang was startled and quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, everything Ding Lang says is true."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Don't be alarmed. It's normal for people to be a little more cautious when traveling in the world. I appreciate your caution, but..."
He said slowly: "I believe that as a person, you shouldn't think too deeply. Sometimes you can be simpler... What do you think?"
Ding Lang's expression suddenly changed, "My subordinates can't quite understand what the prince said..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Do you know why I asked Boss Wang to go out?"
Ding Lang said: "My subordinates thought that the prince had confidential and important instructions."
Jiang Fan said: "I have even discussed matters like dealing with the Supreme Emperor with you in front of him, so why should there be any need to avoid taboos?"
Ding Lang's lips moved, but no words came out.
Jiang Fan said calmly: "A restaurant proprietor dares to take the initiative to enter the palace to see me without saying anything. Faced with a major event involving the Supreme Emperor, Taiyue, and even heaven and humans, not only is he not frightened, but he is enthusiastic and wants to participate. What do you think...
…is that normal?”
Ding Lang's eyes moved slightly, but he remained silent.
Jiang Fan continued: "Silence will not solve the problem. You should know that some small thoughts are useless in front of this king."
Ding Lang gritted his teeth: "The prince has just agreed to accept his subordinates."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Yes, but dishonest people have dishonest ways. What do you think?"
Ding Lang finally took a step back slowly and prostrated: "Dr. Wang, you are mine."
Jiang Fan smiled softly: "You see, sometimes the truth is not so difficult to tell."
Ding Lang seemed to have finally made up his mind: "Penglaiju is mine too, from the beginning. Xiaoyaohui...Xiaoyaohui was also deliberately promoted by my subordinates through Dongfeng. But please be clear to me, in order not to arouse suspicion, my subordinates really only do
We have a financial sponsor, and the other five vice-presidents have not participated in selecting their subordinates."
Jiang Fan said calmly: "So, you are simply hesitant and hedging your bets. Boss Wang has an old relationship with me. You think I will trust him, so you let him be the middleman. With him, you can also get information about me."
, while being able to grasp the trends on both sides without revealing your identity, you can do things according to the direction of the wind from both sides, it is really... a good idea."
Ding Lang bowed down and said, "I know my mistake. It's probably because I really had doubts, so I did things in a roundabout way. But please believe me, Your Majesty, the certificate of surrender has been paid, and Ding Lang's intention to serve Your Majesty is indeed genuine. Only
What I’m worried about is that my subordinates, the remnants of the Chen Kingdom, don’t know if they can really gain the prince’s trust.”
Jiang Fan said calmly: "Back then, King Hui destroyed Chen, annexed Chen State and changed it to Chenzhou, and set up a horse racing farm in Chenzhou. However, the remnants of Chen State have been stubbornly resisting, and their desire to restore the country has not faded for decades. You do have
Reason for concern.”
Ding Lang said: "The Bai family was one of them back then, but by my father's generation, they finally thought that the situation was over. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty existed in name only. The Chen Kingdom was just a vassal king granted by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why couldn't they understand the situation? The Bai family
You should find another way out.
Your Majesty, you should know that it is difficult to leave your homeland, and the Bai family is not allowed to leave as a criminal. The only way is to completely integrate into the Qin Dynasty. My father has worked hard for decades to prevent the Bai family from being destroyed. However, due to his status as a criminal, he can only quietly
He always dared not let go of his actions. Even to the generation of his subordinates, they are still deeply affected. Doing things... is inevitably unsatisfactory..."
Jiang Fandao: "The remnants of the Chen Kingdom claim to be the orthodox people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are in conflict with the Great Qin Dynasty. They have never lived in peace for decades. Your words are indeed credible."
Ding Lang said: "Ding Lang speaks from the bottom of his heart. I just concealed it from the prince. I hope that the prince will take my subordinate's thoughts into consideration and not punish him."
Jiang Fan smiled softly: "You little people are very adventurous, you even dare to interfere in the affairs of the court."
Ding Lang's expression changed with horror: "Sure enough... I can't hide it from the prince. The move of Nanchen Racecourse to the south did play a certain role, but it was also to leave an extra escape route for the family."
Jiang Fan said: "Servant Chen He, how much money did you take?"
Ding Lang said hurriedly: "The prince mistakenly blamed Chen He. We used some methods, but they were all shady and Chen He didn't know about it."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Chen He did not disappoint His Majesty. Moving the Chenzhou Racecourse south does have great benefits. It is understandable that you secretly promote this matter. But remember, don't let me find out that you try to interfere with the court again.
Otherwise... I will destroy your entire clan!"
