Chapter 43: Temptation

What I am talking about was the robbery that caused the entire Shangling last year: the Deng family transported more than one million taels of tribute and was robbed on the way, and all the transported items were robbed, while all the people transported were killed. However, because the incident suddenly happened, the government did not find the murderer in the end, which became a unsolved case. The Deng family also suffered huge losses in this incident. In addition to the one million taels of goods, there were also many pensions for escort personnel. The Li family benefited from this incident. This batch of tributes was originally competed by the Deng family and the Li family, but the Deng family got the right to purchase, but because of the robbery, the court finally gave the right to purchase. Regarding this robbery, many doubts pointed to the Li family, but due to insufficient evidence, it was only left unresolved. This time I showed them some more detailed information collected by the people under the old fox.

"I think that's the end of this matter tonight. I hope that all the well-known figures in the Deng family will do whatever they should do after they go down, sleep when they should, and eat when they should. If you honestly, the monthly payment will not be less than you." I paused and said in a deep voice: "If there are still people who make trouble for me, don't blame me as a junior. I will not be rude to outsiders, and I will not be rude to my own people in front of me!"

After saying that, I looked at the people below. Many people lowered their heads to avoid my gaze after seeing my gaze. I stopped at my second uncle's eldest son, the only person who was close to my age.

"Deng Jian, the scenery of Jinghu is so beautiful! The beauty lowered her eyes like water! It is a rare sentence!" I said with a smile. This is also an aspect of my information. Deng Jian is a relatively outstanding child in the Deng family and is also direct. The source of this poem is written by him when he was traveling in Jinghu. The two of them fell in love with each other. Although he also liked that woman, due to his disparity in status, he was afraid that his family would oppose her, so he could only bury her in his heart. After learning about this situation, I found that this was beneficial to the future. At the same time, I also understood the pain of not being able to be with the person I loved in the original society, so I decided to become a beauty. After coercing the old, I should also lure the younger ones.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Deng Jian's face changed drastically and he asked, "How do you know?"

I smiled and said, "How do I know you don't need to ask, you just need to know that I can help you!"

Deng Jian was happy first, then his expression became dark. To be honest, he didn't want to come tonight, and he had no interest in this. But he had to stoop down his father's death. What I said just now was undoubtedly a surprise news for him, but when he thought that even if I was the head of the family, he still could not change the identity of that person. Even if she entered the Deng Mansion, she would still be looked down upon. If she was unhappy after all, then she would harm her.

Seeing Deng Long's expression, I knew what he was thinking, and said, "I know you have questions, but you forgot that I am the head of the Deng family now. If such an important thing for you is, I can't help with this brother, how many people can do it in the whole Shangling?"

"Really?" Deng Jian asked happily.

"Not bad!" I said affirmatively, "But I want you to promise me something!"

"As long as you can help me, I will agree to you even if you have ten items!"

"Okay!" I walked up to him and said, "I want you to study hard and be the top scorer in this year's examination. I am the head of the family now, and the Deng family still has many things to deal with. I don't have the time and the mind to participate in the imperial examination, so I put my hope on you. Although the Deng family is a prominent family and the court has backers, it is not my own person after all. Maybe the disaster will happen to the Deng family that day. Those people will only try their best to separate themselves from us, rather than helping us desperately. I want you to be admitted to the imperial examination because I hope there are people from my Deng family in the court, and I will rely on some in the future! I promise you that when you are on the list, it is the day when I make your wish! I can use my reputation as a guarantee!"

Deng Jian heard this, bowed with both hands and said, "If my brother can help me make a wish, I will do my best to get the top scorer this year! I hope my brother won't be ruthless at that time!"

I laughed and said, "I will never lose my words, we will swear by swearing!" After that, I stretched out my hand.

Deng Jian also laughed, stretched out his hand, and hit me hard in the air with me, and said, "One word is certain!"

Everyone present was confused and had no idea what kind of puzzle Deng Jian and I were fighting. First, it was Jinghu and Poetry, and then Deng Jian was going to take the top scorer again. Then we two matted as if we had a tacit understanding. Even the second uncle also looked at his son with surprise. Originally, Deng Jian was the most candidate to inherit the position of the head of the Deng family in the entire Deng family, but because the old man secretly passed the position of the head of the family to me, after learning about it, the second uncle was also very angry. With Xu Youcai's encouragement, he participated in the incident tonight. But now, Deng Jian actually swears to take the first scorer this year after my inexplicable passage. This is something that has not been seen before, so why wouldn't it be surprising to him?

After waving Deng Long to sit, I carried my hand behind my back, walked slowly to the door, looked at the sky, and sighed: "This is the end of today's matter. Everyone goes back to rest. I hope that what you do in the future will first think about being the descendants of the Deng family. If someone thinks that I will harm some of your interests, I might as well make it clear here. As long as you are honest and as long as you don't harm the interests of the family, I will turn a blind eye. This is my bottom line. If someone exceeds my bottom line, don't blame me for being rude! Second uncle and third uncle stay, and the rest will be dispersed!"

Seeing me giving the order to expel guests, and many people were really afraid that if they didn't listen to me, they would be Xu Youcai. So, whether they were resentful, afraid, or watching the fun, they all hurriedly dispersed like a mouse seeing a cat. Only the third wife turned around and glared at me, which meant: Wait and see!

I smiled slightly and understood the meaning very clearly: "Fighting with me, you are not just a little bit worse!" She was so angry that she slipped. If the maid next to her was not protected by her quickly, she would have fallen to the ground immediately!
