Ever since Wang Jun reorganized the business of Xu Prefecture and secretly schemed against those aristocratic families, he was very proud of himself.
However, he also felt a little regretful…
" Yuanlong..." Wang Jun looked listlessly at Chen Deng and said," Do you think I should sit here if there's nothing?"”
"…Yes!" Chen Deng didn't know how many times he had answered Wang Jun's question.
"There are still six hours before Lord returns to the residence!”Chen Deng said through gritted teeth.
" Ah…" Wang Jun sighed helplessly. He suddenly turned to Chen Deng and said," Yuanlong, why don't we play chess?"”
"Go?" Chen Deng sized up Wang Jun.
Nuo Nuo said," My lord knows how to play chess? Then why don't you spar with me?”
"Is Gomoku okay?" Wang Jun said without blushing.
"Gomoku?" Chen Deng frowned.
Therefore, Wang Jun told Chen Deng the way to play Gomoku.
Chen Deng immediately glared and said," This…What kind of method is this? How could there be such a method? It's simply an insult to the sages!"
"Alright then!" Wang Jun suddenly stood up and said," Then I'll go back!”
"Wait…Wait! My lord." Stunned, Chen Deng immediately called out to Wang Jun.
With a hesitant look, she said," Then…then alright…"
"Come, come, come!" Wang Jun chuckled and took out a black and white chess set from under the table.
He must have seen it a long time ago, but he didn't know how to play Go.
He could only stare at this only pastime.
If he didn't know Go, he knew Gomoku. That was how the scene above happened.
Chen Deng was intelligent and understood the essence of Gomoku after a brief thought.
After being played by Wang Jun a few times in the beginning, the two of them began to fight without any difference in strength.
Chen Deng suddenly had a feeling.
This seemingly simple method seemed to contain unusual knowledge.
This seemed to be similar to Go. The more pieces there were on the board, the more chess pieces there were.
The more he cared about the follow-up path, the more often he would be taken advantage of by this Mr. Confused.
"Hehe, five already. Sorry, sorry!”Wang Jun smiled and glanced at Chen Deng.
Chen Deng's face turned red and he said in a deep voice," Again!”
"Why don't we add some stakes?" Wang Jun tempted Chen Deng.
"I'm still working for the lord. Do as you see fit!”Chen Deng seemed to have accepted his fate.
Wang Jun was instantly speechless. He suddenly remembered that this guy was still under his command and relying on himself to support himself! He felt depressed.
Chen Deng raised his head and sized up Wang Jun.
"How about this? Let's bet on the wine tonight! If you lose, you'll be the one buying the wine tonight!”Wang Jun looked at Chen Deng slyly with a wicked smile.
" I see…" Shaking his head, Wang Jun smiled and said," My lord, don't be too proud! I already know the profundity of it, so I won't lose again!”
"Hua hua hua! What an arrogant tone!" Wang Jun pursed his lips and said to Chen Deng," Come! You first!"
"It's better to accept it than to respect it!" Wang Jun smiled and placed a piece on the table.
Perhaps it was the lord's ambitious and ambitious bearing that attracted him.
However, he was not happy. He had to guard against this and that. He was full of deception. The current Yue Zi was very good…very good…
"You lost, my lord!" Chen Deng looked at Wang Jun with a smile.
" This..." Wang Jun stared at the chessboard and coughed.
"Looks like I underestimated you…Again!”
"I'll naturally accompany you!"
Suddenly, a servant came in and said," Reporting to my lord, Duke Zheng is outside and wishes to see you!”
"Say I'm not here!" Wang Jun said with red eyes.
Chen Deng looked outside the door and smiled in his heart. Duke Zheng was probably here for the matter with the aristocratic families. Interesting!
The servant was stunned for a moment before leaving.
However, after a while, the servant returned and said to Wang Jun with a bitter face," My Lord, I said that my Lord is not here, but Duke Zheng did not believe me and insisted on coming in!”
"What is it? You don't believe me?" Wang Junzheng and Chen Deng were inseparable.
Hearing this, he said," Alright! When I win this round, I'll tell that old man personally!”
"..." Chen Deng was instantly dumbfounded. His hand trembled, and the chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard.
"Aha!" Wang Jun went down." You lost!"
When he looked up, he suddenly saw a person standing outside the door. He took a closer look and immediately cried out in his heart.
"I seem to have heard Lord Wang say that he isn't here?”Zheng Xuan walked in with a strange expression." You still want to tell me personally?”
The servant quickly ran away.
" Ahem, what are you talking about, Duke Zheng…" Wang Jun used his hand to mess up the chessboard.
" Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I meant to personally go out and inform Duke Zheng that I'm…"
Zheng Xuan stared at Wang Jun's face. Seeing that Wang Jun didn't have any awkward expression, he was slightly stunned. This brat's skin was quite thick!
" My humble words…" Zheng Xuan walked to a seat at the side and sat down.
He smiled and said to Wang Jun," Do you know why I'm here today?”
"I don't know!" Wang Jun shook his head.
"You don't know?" Zheng Xuan's expression changed drastically.
He raised his walking stick and shouted at Wang Jun," I can see that you know it very well! Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare to see me?"
Chen Deng was delighted and thought to himself,'That's because you came at a bad time…'
Wang Jun looked at the chessboard and nodded." Then…then you know?”
" I know…" Zheng Xuan was speechless and glared at Wang Jun.
Chen Deng stood up and walked to Wang Jun's side.
"Let me ask you! Why did you plot against the aristocratic families in Xu Prefecture?!"
" No..." Wang Jun looked confused.
He said to Zheng Xuan," Duke Zheng, you saw it too. They were the ones who wanted to buy the land in the west of the city, right?
Did Jun force them to buy it? Then I thought, at that time, the price of land in the west of the city had risen sharply.
So I told them to use the shops in the east of the city to exchange for the land in the west of the city, right?”
"Hmm…That's true, but…"
Wang Jun interrupted Qiao Xuan's words and said with a serious face," I told you how many big shops they have in the east of the city.
I gave them a lot of land in the west of the city. I didn't mistreat them at all. You misunderstood me!”
This brat! Zheng Xuan was so angry that he stomped his walking stick.
He said in a deep voice," Didn't you issue those decrees to scheme against those aristocratic families? If you dare to say no, this old man will slap you!"
Ouch! This old man had a big temper!
Wang Jun dodged, coughed, and said," Yes, yes, yes! But…"
Wang Jun glanced at Zheng Xuan and said in a low voice," You are only doing this for Xu Prefecture and have no selfish motives. Why did Duke Zheng come to question me?”
" Uh…" Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself,'That's right.'
This kid didn't get any benefits from those merchants, so he lost his composure when he came to question him…No!
"My humble words!" Zheng Xuan called out to Wang Jun. Suddenly, he glanced at Chen Deng beside him and then frowned at Wang Jun.
Chen Deng smiled and said," Please excuse me!”
Zheng Xuan nodded. Who knew that Wang Jun would say," There's no harm in Yuanlong staying here!
Duke Zheng, although Yuan Long is my subordinate, he is like my friend. There is nothing I cannot say to him!”
You didn't let me go just now, and now you want to run? You want to leave me here alone? Dream on!
Chen Deng couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. This long-lost feeling of being trusted made him look at Wang Jun gratefully.
Zheng Xuan looked at him in surprise and said," Then I'll be frank! My humble words, do you know?
Observing the Great Han Dynasty for 400 years, why did the aristocratic families not fall? There's a reason for this!"
Wang Jun looked at Chen Deng, who was also looking sideways.
"This old master helped you a great deal earlier. It was also those aristocratic families who helped you on account of this old master.
But in the end, it was those aristocratic families who helped, right?
This was the cause! Now that you've issued that decree to change the business tax to pay…transaction tax, who came up with this term? It's really a mouthful!”
Chen Deng looked at the somewhat embarrassed Wang Jun and was delighted.
My lord, you also have such a time.
"My humble words, have you ever thought that those merchants are all from other counties?
If there was really any trouble, would they help you?
Only those aristocratic families in Xu Prefecture will come to help you!
I asked them to come to you so that you can return the favor.
Who knew that you would actually use this to scheme against them. All my arrangements were in vain!”
When Chen Deng heard this, he sneered in his heart. He could not take it anymore.
He said," Duke Zheng, you are wise. If Xu Prefecture is in trouble, it is reasonable for the aristocratic families to help.
This was because all of their assets and finances were in Xuzhou. They were bound together, so how could they not help?
But what if someone else gave them even greater benefits? Duke Zheng had thought about what kind of situation it would be?”
Zheng Xuan turned around and glanced at Chen Deng. He said hesitantly," Yuanlong, you're also from the Shi family. Let me ask you, why do you insist that the aristocratic families are so unbearable?”
"Humph!" Chen Deng laughed coldly." Aristocratic family? It's because I came from an aristocratic family that I understand them better!”
Zheng Xuan frowned and took a deep look at Chen Deng. He saw that Chen Deng's gaze was spirited and his temperament was extraordinary.
"My humble words, do you think so too?”
Wang Jun tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying," I haven't seen many aristocratic families. There are the Chen Family and the Mi Family of Xu Prefecture.
However, the Chen Clan and the Mi Clan of Xu Prefecture were still better off. They would not raise the grain prices and ignore the people.
On the contrary, they would take food from them to help the people. As for these aristocratic families... Hehe, it's fine if I don't say it!”
Zheng Xuan's face was a little awkward. He knew quite a bit about the filthy matters of the aristocratic families.
It was the first time someone had said it so directly in front of him.
"My humble comment is very…very fair, very fair!”Zheng Xuan took an empty teacup and poured himself a cup.
"It's just that in history, there have been thousands of years of aristocratic families, but there have never been thousands of years of dynasties. I'll leave you to think about it.”With that, Zheng Xuan walked out.
