    After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Xiao Yungui finally stood still, looked back at Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin and said, "You should also remember that I, Zeng Jin, told you that some people in this city will eventually fall, and their positions will be changed.  Someone has replaced you. Now that the opportunity has arisen, I hope you two can follow the general trend and join our kingdom of heaven. But King Dong means that you two should donate all your money and food at home to the holy treasury, so that you can be like King Bei and King Yi in heaven.  , be granted the title of Marquis!"

    As soon as these words came out, Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were shocked. Zhu Changlin opened her mouth and was speechless. She slowly knelt down and murmured: "Prince Xi, Lord Xi, please be noble. You can't do this. Back then, you  That¡¯s not what we said¡­¡±

    Wei Helin blushed and said angrily: "Brother Yutian, get up quickly, what are you asking him for? They just want to confiscate all our wealth. They are no different from ordinary thieves! Let's go. The worst is  It¡¯s just a waste of all the family wealth, what do you ask him to do?!¡±

    As Wei Helin pulled up Zhu Changlin, who was ashen-faced, and was about to leave, Zhu Changlin sighed: "It is indeed retribution, retribution. I, Zhu Changlin, made my fortune by making money from refugees, but as expected, I ended up with nothing in the end. It's really retribution, hahaha  "

    Zhu Changlin smiled sadly, her voice full of sadness, Xiao Yungui suddenly said in a deep voice: "That's what King Dong meant. I'm just asking you two, do you still believe me?!" Xiao Yungui looked at him as he said this.  He looked at the two of them sharply.

    Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were slightly startled. They looked at each other and didn't know what Xiao Yungui meant. They saw Xiao Yungui take out two pieces of paper from his arms and said slowly: "These two pieces of paper were written when you two paid for the chessboard donation."  The note you gave me has your signature on it."

    When the two of them saw that it was indeed the debt note written that day, Xiao Yungui slowly tore the paper into pieces and said, "These two debt bills are invalid. You don't owe me anything, but now Dong Wang  You cannot disobey the order. If you don't obey, there is no guarantee that you two will not be confiscated. I have a new contract here, you can take a look." After speaking, Xiao Yungui took out two more contracts and handed them over.

    The two of them took a glance at it and started reading it. After reading it hastily, they both looked at each other in great surprise, and then turned to look at Xiao Yungui.

    "I know that it's painful to scatter the hard-earned money, but as Boss Zhu himself said, the way you made money in the past was harmful to God's morality. This time, even if it is a punishment from God,  I advise you to follow the wishes of King Dong and donate all the unjust money and food to meet your urgent needs." Xiao Yungui said slowly: "Next, I will lead the troops to go on an expedition. When the time comes, I will follow this  It is stipulated in the contract that money will be allocated from the money and grain obtained to the two of you for business. If you lose, I will be responsible for it. If you make a profit, the profit will be split 50-50 until you earn back all your wealth.  I will never break my promise."

    Wei Helin smiled bitterly: "King Xi, King Xi, you really cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. With just a few words, you tied the two of us to your boat. With just a piece of paper, we were willing to earn money for you."  You are really good at planning money."

    Xiao Yungui calmly walked back to the main seat and sat down. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said calmly: "You two made your fortune by collecting grain during the disaster years. If you two didn't feel guilty, why?  After getting rich, have you always been kind and charitable? Isn't it just to feel better in your heart? Now this contract may not seem very secure to you, but I have always kept my promises, and I will definitely do what I promised, and I will do it absolutely.  . I also destroyed the debt note you wrote to me that day. We don¡¯t owe each other anything. Originally, according to the debt note, even if you lose all your wealth, it won¡¯t be enough. If I destroyed it, it would be obvious that I am the king and you.  As for the sincerity of your cooperation, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t agree to this. I won¡¯t lose anything, so just please come back. Someone from the East Palace will talk to you later.¡±

    Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin looked at each other. Zhu Changlin said with a sad face: "King Xi, does this mean that we are thieves?"

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "Old Zhu, if you don't want to be a thief now, do you want to become a monster? There are no unbroken eggs under the overturned nest. After Changsha City is destroyed, even if Qing Yao can come back one day, can you be alone? Qing Yao  The methods used to punish you are much harsher than ours. You are not still dreaming that Qing Yao will come back at this time." Xiao Yungui then stood up and said softly and comforted: "Lao Zhu and Lao Wei, you are not officials of Qing Yao.  In the eyes of Qing Yao, you are nothing more than ordinary people with a little money. If they really come back and accuse you of being a fellow thief, it is a serious crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan. Then you will regret it. Besides, our Kingdom of Heaven  What you are doing is the important task of reviving the Han family. If you are to dominate the world in the future, you will not be following thieves, but following the merits of dragons."

    Years later, Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin often talked to people about why they joined the Kingdom of Heaven that day. They always said that it was because they were threatened and exploited.They were moved by temptation, but they both made the right bet.

    After being silent for a long time, Zhu Changlin suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "King Xi, in that case, I, Zhu Changlin, will sign the contract, but it must be clearly stated in the contract that I want to work under you, King Xi, and I don't want to follow any other prince."

    Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and said slowly and calmly: "It's natural. Your subordinates and family members will all come to my West Palace to do business. Don't worry, I will definitely ask a high official from the West Palace to do it for you."  , If I can¡¯t do this, I¡¯ll sign a contract with you.¡±

    After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Changlin tremblingly signed the contract first, followed by Wei Helin, both of whom seemed to be half older. Xiao Yungui, who had successfully kidnapped the two of them, also signed the contract.

    After sending the two of them away, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. When the curtain of the inner hall was lifted, Hong Yun'er's soft voice floated over: "What a white wolf with empty gloves, your tricks are really good enough."  Absolutely, not only did you solve the problem that King Dong asked you to do, but you also deceived two people into boarding your pirate ship. As expected, you sold them and asked others to count the money for you."

    Xiao Yungui put away the contract, frowned at Hong Yun'er and said, "Don't say it in such a bad way, don't you agree with this?"

    Hong Yun'er curled her lips and said, "I'm not as shady as you. What the Holy Treasury wants is their family wealth, but they didn't say they must be kidnapped on the ship."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "Since King Dong has given me a difficult problem, I have to deal with it as well. Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to be led by him."

    Hong Yun'er asked curiously: "By the way, didn't you already ask Dong Wang for official photos for the two of them? Why didn't you give them to them?"

    Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said: "Four-eyed girl, you are really heartless. If you show me your official photo now, wouldn't you tell them that I, Xiao Yungui, deliberately plotted against them? In a few days, their money will be donated, and I  Just give them official photos, and they will be used as a small book in my West Palace. The position is the same as the general system, and the official position is not small."

    Hong Yun'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have a lot of twists and turns, but you also make miscalculations. You didn't expect that everything seems calm in the city, but in fact many big and wealthy businessmen are plotting."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's true. I really didn't expect that Yang Xiuqing was still a savage person. He raided He Yuan's house without asking any questions and collected all kinds of evidence. It seems that he had thought of the people in the city a long time ago.  A wealthy businessman will not just give in, he has indeed become the King of the East."

    Hong Yun'er sighed: "Perhaps we all think too simply. Rebellion is not about treating guests to dinner, and it is not so easy to make vested interests give up their interests. Our rebellion now is to destroy order, reshuffle the cards, and redistribute interests.  , we are against the entire old world, can we succeed?"

    Xiao Yungui was silent for a long time before saying: "Now that we have boarded the pirate ship, we can only continue walking. In fact, there are still many fence-sitting factions like Zhu Changlin and others. In fact, they only think about themselves. No matter whether it is us or the Qing court, whoever decides  If you can give them benefits, they will lean towards whichever side you are talking about. What's more, the vested interests you mentioned are only a minority after all, and most of them are poor people. I am still confident that we can succeed." He paused at this point.  He paused: "But the premise is that we can make the decision"

    The two of them did not discuss this issue too much, because the prepared family banquet had already begun, and Xiao Chaofu, who came to invite them, interrupted their conversation.

    After returning home to the banquet, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er naturally tried their best to play their respective roles, which surprised the three families of Xiao, Huang and Jiang because they had never experienced such a docile attitude from the Xiwang couple.  Hospitality.  Especially for the Huang family, Huang Weizheng listened to Xiao Yungui's compliments with trepidation, thinking that he was being sarcastic, but looking at the sincerity on Xiao Yungui's face, he seemed a little unsure.

    During the banquet, Xiao Yungui announced that he had requested an order from the King of the East, and all the men from the three families had been offered jobs in the West Palace. The daily expenses of the three families would also be borne by the West Palace.  It was a reassurance for all three families that they no longer had to rely on funds from the two Sima Shengku. The previously tense relationship began to loosen from this day on.  Although everyone in the Huang family and Xiao Chaolong still have some lingering fears, Xiao Yungui feels that the three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day, and the ice-breaking journey cannot be completed overnight. A good start is half the success, and it can be regarded as a gift to the real King of the West.  Xiao Chaogui has an explanation.

    " Xiao Youhe seems to be very afraid of Xiao Yungui and prefers to stick to Hong Yun'er. Xiao Yungui also has a clean ear.

    After dinner, Xiao Yungui chatted with Huang Weizheng, Huang Shengtong, and Huang Yuxiu until very late, talking about the current military and political affairs. The Jiang family and Xiao family could not get in the conversation, so they left early and went back to the house to sleep.  After all, the Huang family and his son were scholars, and they still had some unique insights. The Huang family and his son strongly opposed the East King's request for the soldiers and horses of the West Palace to massacre the bannermen. In their opinion, such a massacre could not be done, even if it must be done.  Important?, we must also find a way to avoid it, and we cannot let people from the West Palace do it, otherwise it will be very bad if we get a bad reputation. In the future, wherever the soldiers and horses of the West Palace go, they will not be able to wash away the reputation of murderous thieves.

    Xiao Yungui has also been worried about this matter, but after all, the Huangs and his son did not have a good plan, so Xiao Yungui thought of Zuo Zongtang. It would be great if this old boy was by his side. He would definitely have a good idea.  .

    It was getting late, and the Huangs and their sons also said goodbye and went back to the house. Even though they lived in the governor's office, the families still strictly followed the Taiping Army's gender-separated camp system. The men lived in the wing room in the front yard, and the women lived in the backyard. Each of them had a male and female sword.  Hand guard, Xiao Yungui didn't want to cause any trouble and have his pigtails grabbed in an emergency.

    The door opened with a creak, and Hong Yun'er returned to the house. Xiao Yungui suddenly remembered that the family members of the three families were now living in the governor's Yamen. It seemed too unreasonable for him to be kicked out to live in a military camp. He immediately said with a salivating smile: "  Yun'er, there are so many people watching in this courtyard, if I go out again, wouldn't it be a disgrace to King Xi? Just let me stay one night."

    Hong Yun'er thought for a while with a gloomy face, then blushed and finally nodded, saying in a low voice: "Wait a moment, I'll get ready and I'll come back."

    These words were like the sound of gospel. Looking at Hong Yun'er's beautiful figure exiting the room, Xiao Yungui didn't know what Hong Yun'er was going to prepare, but he immediately walked excitedly to the bed behind the screen, took off his boots and got into Hong Yun'er's room.  In his son's incense tent, he made up his mind that if the four-eyed girl wanted to go back on her word later, he would stay in bed and see what she would do.

    After a while, Xiao Yungui's enthusiasm was extinguished. Hong Yun'er actually went to bring Xiao You and this bastard over and asked them to sleep together. Xiao Yungui immediately lost all interest.  He had no choice but to take his personal swordsman out of the house once again to inspect the military camp. As he walked, he scolded Xiao You and this kid for their incompetence.
