Chapter twenty-five, the bet
Li Ye had a premonition from the beginning that that woman would be in trouble, but he didn't expect the premonition to come true.
The people behind her were all from the yamen, with calluses all over the tiger's mouth, standing upright, and her shoulder blades were spreading outward. She was most likely to be trained and had no choice but to run away. After all, Li Ye had also practiced in his previous life, and some things could be seen.
Looking at their clothes, they were clearly the yamen runners of the Kaiyuan Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture, and Li Ye could almost immediately guess the origin of this little girl, she was a member of the He family.
This is really a huge trouble. The Jing Dynasty's official system is similar to the Song Dynasty. It is considered to be the prime minister's official position, including the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Privy Councilor, the Chief Secretary, the Political Affairs Officer, and the Signing Academy Officer.
But there is a very special thing outside of this, that is, the prefect of Kaiyuan, who is equivalent to a senior official in the BJ city in later generations, and even more importantly, and is generally held by the prince. Although he is not known as a prime minister, his status is definitely not much lower than that of a minister and a college signing. He is a prince without power and power, as long as he has reason, he can do whatever he wants.
He is now only bringing Qiu'er and Yue'er. If the other party starts, he will suffer a great loss. He is not a fool, the power of the human body is limited. People who are immersed in the delusion of human body power are idiots and will eventually regret it. The real strength lies in the heart.
No matter how powerful he is, his objective conditions are only a sixteen-year-old child. He cannot be the opponent of four adults, let alone practiced. Therefore, it is obviously the most rational to stabilize the other person's emotions and talk.
Later generations of psychologists once studied how to convince people and summarized many useful theories. One of them is: narrating the negative nature of opposite traits.
Simply put, for example, if you want to go on an appointment alone on time, do you emphasize to him that the noble nature of the person who goes on an appointment on time is good? Or do you emphasize to him that the evil nature of the person who doesn’t go on an appointment on time is good?
A large number of psychological experiments have shown that the latter is much better than the former.
The popular explanation is: "Children who complete homework on time are good children" are far less persuasive than "Children who do not complete homework on time are children". So Li Ye has been emphasizing the girl in front of him how bad people who bully the few with the more are, and he really convinced her.
Although he was calm on the surface, he felt relieved. After all, planning is based on people and accomplishing things is in heaven, and many things are probabilities. Whether you can do your best or not depends on your face. Doing things is just trying to increase the probability.
For example, the plan to compete for business with Wangjianglou this time is also true.
Li Ye needed a large number of warriors, and the royal family's guards were still not enough. Until he made a fuss to confirm that he had tied up this girl not only by the He family, but also by He Zhao's daughter, he realized that the opportunity had come.
There is no wing army in Kaiyuan Prefecture, only the imperial guards under the Privy Council, but there are not a thousand yamen runners and eight hundred. So many warriors are definitely enough!
.........
In the private room of Wangjiang Tower, there were only Li Ye, Jiao and He Qian, Qiu'er and Yue'er stayed in Tingyu Tower to check the accounts. Li Ye deliberately arranged it, one was to let them get familiar with these tasks, and the other was to pay them aside.
The four yamen runners following He Qian were arranged in the lobby downstairs, and Ji Chunsheng and some guards of the royal palace were also there. They came as he told him, and there were all other armed people, with several tables, probably the guards of the Degong family. There were some warriors on the entire first floor lobby and even the second floor, which were bustling and bustling, and it was very lively. The fat shopkeeper was also happy. How could he not be happy about the business so prosperous?
When Li Ye went upstairs, he only looked at Ji Chunsheng and the others from a distance, without disturbing him. The fat boss also came over to greet him with a smile, very respectful, probably because he knew Li Xingzhou. Li Ye just nodded. He was so happy now that he was afraid that he would cry in the future. Everyone was making a living, so he could only be sorry.
"Ms. He, what happened before is a completely misunderstanding. I apologize to you again, and I will write it off in the future." Li Ye said in the private room and drank the wine in the glass.
He Qian didn't appreciate it: "Hmph, you must be afraid of my life experience. If you don't know, you may still think about tying me back. How could you write off a despicable and vulgar person like you? You'd better be careful in the future. If I let this girl catch your handle, I will never let you go!"
Li Ye was helpless, and he knew that this matter would not end well. He gave medicine to tie the person back and wanted to force him. No one could give up such a thing.
The most terrible thing is that He Qian has this ability. The Kaiyuan Prefecture is in charge of all kinds of affairs in the capital. As long as he commits something casually and is caught, he will leave it to the Kaiyuan Prefecture for investigation. At this time, the problem arises.
For example, if he hurts someone, he can mediate it, but as long as He Qian is actually in operation and wants to punish him, he will be beaten, and the water will be deep at the law enforcement level. If someone knows him, he can't beat him even if he beats a hundred big boards. If he deliberately wants to kill ten boards, he can beat him to death.
The depth of this is beyond the bottom line, and Li Ye is really afraid that this little girl will find fault. Even if he had never met his fiancée, Wang Lianshan, was the grandfather of the clerk, and the leader of the civil servants, it would not be so easy to punish him, after all, he is royal blood.
But it would be different if He Qian was, because Kaiyuan Mansion has real law enforcement power!
The atmosphere became stiff after just a few words. No one spoke for a while. The private room behind the screen was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Gillian, who came with them, did not interrupt, but just quietly drank warm wine. Li Ye was thinking a lot and quickly suppressed the little anger in his heart. At this time, the impulse could not solve any problem.
Li Ye crossed his fingers and looked straight at the girl with bright eyes, white teeth and hatred in front of him: "Let's make a bet."
"Do you want to pretend to be clever again? Do you think I will be fooled!" She slapped the table, her face full of frost.
"Are you scared?"
"You...who said I'm scared! What are you going to bet? Let's listen." It's always just a child.
Li Ye dipped some warm wine with his hands, and then wrote and painted on the table, which was the word "Qi".
"Just bet on this. From now on, in seven days, I will have more customers in Tingyu Tower than Wangjiang Tower."
As soon as the words were finished, even Gillian, who was quietly drinking, couldn't help but raise her head and glance at him in surprise.
He Qian even giggled with her stomach in her arms: "You...hehe, it's your broken building? You're just looking for death!"
"What if you cheat?" she leaned over her head.
"You can send someone to stare at me at any time." Li Ye spread his hands.
"Okay, bet if you want to bet. I will stare at you personally. If you ask someone to act, you will lose."
"That's natural." Li Ye looked at her quietly: "If I win, you can't bring up the old things again. The grudges are written off, so don't bother me in the future."
"If you lose Tingyu Tower, I will belong to me!" He Qian said confidently.
Li Ye doesn't care. He has always looked at the problem thoroughly. If Tingyu's property is not alive, it would be better to give it to her. I can't afford it anyway. This condition seems scary, but it's actually good for him. I smiled slightly and nodded.
"A gentleman's word."
