Chapter 48 The truth

After the transaction was completed, Master Lu looked at Xie Hong, who was paying attention to him, and felt extremely angry. This kid was so lucky that he gave out the music box from his ancestors and found such a seven-treasure Linglong Tower. What else will happen in the future? Could it be that six or something? He took my position as the chief clerk and got so much money again, it's really...

While he was gritting his teeth, he suddenly heard a sigh from the official sedan chair. He did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to the window and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?" As an aide, his main job is to serve the boss, and answer questions and make fun of it is an important responsibility.

"It's nothing, but I just sigh and thank the chief clerk."

"He is so glorious, what's the pity?" Master Lu asked hurriedly. He had been following Magistrate Wang for many years, and naturally knew the temperament of this boss. Magistrate Wang never cared about the trivial matters in the yamen and did not know the tricks. However, Master Lu knew that this was not because the boss didn't understand, but because he was unwilling to understand, or he was disdainful to understand.

The boss was born as a Jinshi, and with the fame of the Jinshi, he was already considered one of the scholars and officials. Of course, the ambition was to govern the country and pacify the world. How could some trivial matters in the yamen bother the scholars and officials? He was confused about small matters, but the boss knew everything about the officialdom. Master Lu asked urgently, on the one hand, he was just making fun, and on the other hand, he was also curious.

"Although compromise is emphasized in the officialdom, things are not done by Master Xie." Magistrate Wang was also not reluctant to give some advice to his master. "If he wanted to compromise with the Gu family, his previous attitude should not be so stiff, so he could still sell Master Gu's favor. He has entered the official career, and the imperial doctor is walking in front of the imperial court. This favor cannot be guaranteed to be used for a day."

He sighed again, "But he was tough and had offended Doctor Gu to death, and then offered a high price of 30,000 taels. Regardless of whether the matter of the Dong family is true or not, the enemy with the Gu family has been established. If he is really smart, he should not sell the treasure to the Gu family. The young man from the folk is still useless."

Master Lu said in confusion: "He betrayed the treasure for the sake of the boss's face, and he was selling favors to the boss. His position is low, so even if he climbs to the imperial physician, it is useless. As long as the adults remember him well, why worry about anything else?"

Magistrate Wang sneered when he heard this: "Brother Lu, I ask you, why are you and I here?"

"Of course, it was asked by the Imperial Doctor Gu. Uh, is it..." Master Lu seemed to have some understanding.

"That's right? Since I have come, I will not be willing to offend Lord Gu. It's still like this today. Lord Gu has obtained the treasure and is walking in front of the emperor. Now he is still weak last year and likes novelties the most... Brother Lu, don't you understand?"

"Will Mr. Gu be promoted?"

"I don't know whether it is high or high or high, but I will definitely be favored. At that time, what is the favor of Xie Hong selling this official?" County Magistrate Wang felt deeply. The last time he went to the capital to present treasures, he received praise from Eunuch Liu, and promised that he would be promoted soon. Today, he saw that Doctor Gu got the prize, and he was also a little envious.

However, he didn't want to fight for it. The effect of offering two items was not very good. Besides, he responded to the imperial list that day, and now the imperial list has been revoked under the opposition of Grand Secretary Liu in Beijing. Will it be a problem for Grand Secretary Liu to go there at this time? The imperial doctor has no fame, so he can go there naturally. He himself doesn't want to be the title of a jester back.

"Will the Gu family take revenge on the chief clerk Xie in the future?" When it comes to enemies, Master Lu's brain began to become flexible. "Then... Master Gu, if Lord Gu asks you to deal with Chief Cerk Xie, how should we deal with it?"

"Oh..." County Magistrate Wang sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Brother Lu, if someone comes to the Gu family, you just need to deal with it. I have to practice calligraphy hard recently, and I will also leave the affairs in the yamen to you. After this, get up the sedan chair and go back to the yamen."

"I'm taking the order, the boss just need to worry." Master Lu was overjoyed. Isn't the boss saying this? That's... Humph, the boy named Xie, I think you're still alive this time?

The two of them whispered here, but Xie Hong didn't notice that he was being watched by everyone and had to deal with the Gu family. Everyone did everything, but the most thing they wanted to ask him about the famous craftsman in Henan. Of course, the so-called famous craftsman was fabricated by Xie Hong himself, and he could only say that the other party was traveling around the world, and the dragon saw the head but the tail was coming to deal with it.

The onlookers were difficult to deal with, but the Gu family was easy to deal with. After a test, even with the housekeeper's shrewdness and the picky doctor Gu Yudai, they were all suspicious. They just said hello and asked if there were any things to pay attention to, and then left. Judging from their attitude, they wanted to rush to the capital overnight, but they had already done everything they should do, and Xie Hong didn't care about the Gu family anymore.

After finally dealing with the curious onlookers, Xie Hong originally wanted to say hello to County Magistrate Wang, but found that the other party had already left and could not even see the shadow. He was a little surprised, but he didn't care and turned around and entered his own yard.

"Congratulations, sir." As soon as he entered the door, Butler Dong came up with a smile on his face. He had only seen the fat man's acting skills. Even with Xie Hong's eyesight, he could not tell whether this person really congratulated him.

"Butler Dong, I'm sorry to you this time. I'll do a whole set of shows. I'll ask the butler to transport the money back to Dongjiazhuang tomorrow." Xie Hong said with a smile.

"Affect the order." If someone else had just transferred the money to the Dong family so stupidly, but Mr. Dong might have had bad ideas, but he didn't dare to do anything about Xie Hong. In addition to the deep impression he had left on him when he first met, his master also praised this young man. Today's incident also amazes the fat man.

Others don’t know that he is one of the insiders, because when Xie Hong made the Qibao Linglong Tower, he was in Dongjiazhuang. Moreover, the fat man also handled materials and other things, but he never expected that those ordinary bamboo and wood could make such a treasure. Thinking of this treasure that the Gu family was cheaper, the fat man felt a little distressed.

"Sir, it's too cheap for the Gu family to sell this treasure to them?" At this moment, there were only his own people in the yard and there was no need to act. The fat man asked directly: "Although the adults were really embarrassed by the Gu family before buying the treasure, they were the ones who benefited in the end!"

The fat man was very reluctant to leave this pagoda. "If the adults ask for money, the Dong family can take out all the money. Besides, if this treasure is sent to the capital, it will be 50,000, or 100,000 is no problem."

"No, Brother Xie, the Gu family has not given up. When they left, they didn't say anything, but their eyes were full of fierce light. They had angered before, but Lao Ma still felt something was wrong. What if they came to take revenge in the future?"

Ma Wentao was also puzzled. Did he spend so much effort just to make things difficult for the other party? He vented his anger at that time, but such revenge was too childish, right? If you don’t get rid of the roots, you will take revenge sooner or later, what should you do then?

As soon as Ma Wentao echoed, the fat man forgot to feel pain and was very curious. He was also very smart. He saw Xie Hong's plan the most clearly and sincerely praised him.

At first, he pretended to accidentally see the pagoda for the raving monk Jiujie, and then sent someone to follow the Gu family, and got to know the other party's movements. Then he was embarrassed and finally reluctantly agreed. The whole plan was smooth and Mr. Dong felt that if he was in the game, he would still have to fall into the trap.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mr. Xie grasped the psychology of the Gu family from the beginning and made this treasure in a targeted manner. This is the decisive factor. How could such a big flaw be revealed in the end with such a big flaw? Is it really just a childish revenge?

Xie Hong just smiled at the two people's doubts. He was a man for two lifetimes. Although he was still very young, he was still a young man in his twenties, so of course he would not do childish things. The reason why he started to start or end was naturally because he had a backup plan.

The plan had been completed, and he no longer concealed it and explained it to the two in detail. From making plans to operating, they were all formulated by him by combining the information obtained in later generations. Of course, these were not explained to the two. He just explained the purpose of each step.

"…The ultimate goal is to let him buy the pagoda." Xie Hong concluded.

"The purpose at the beginning was to let him buy the pagoda?" Butler Dong was stunned. This was not revenge. Didn't he plan to take advantage of others from the beginning?

"Is there any other reason for this?" Ma Wentao also began to worship blindly, not in a hurry to question, but instead thought about whether there was anything unexpected in it.

"Brother Xiaohong, should we continue to stare at the Gu family and grab the things back when they set out to save them from their own business?" Erniu also came over, and the suggestions he made were in line with his personality.

Xie Hongda Khan, brother is a craftsman, not a robber, how could he do such a tasteless thing? However, what Erniu said was a good result, and the purpose of making the Gu family lose both money is indeed true.

"Actually, this plan doesn't mean to make the Gu family suffer a big loss." Xie Hong explained: "I originally thought I would extricate my anger, and then, if the imperial physician repented and apologized, I would not do anything. But after seeing his appearance, it was really unbearable. He was shameless, Brother Ma, you know that I have never been able to suffer a loss."

Ma Wentao nodded and said yes, how could Brother Xie, who could trample Dianshi under his feet, have a good temper?

"So..." In the surprised eyes of several people, Xie Hong spread out his right hand that he had been holding.

There was a small cylindrical object in the palm of my hand. Judging from the color, it looked very similar to the material of the Qibao Linglong Tower. There was also a very thin transparent silk thread tied on it. I don’t know what it was for.
