I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Li'an City, Maxi Street, Tao Mansion.

After being brought here by Tao Yingfa Tao Yingfa, Jiang Beiran and his party sat in the middle hall and drank the tea served by the maids.

After a while, a handsome white-clothed boy walked into the middle hall, while Tao Yingfa followed behind the white-clothed boy.

"You are the emperor?"

Looking at Jiang Beiran who was sitting in the upper seat drinking tea, the white-robed young man asked with a slightly playful tone.

However, when the young master in white finished asking, the hall fell into silence, and no one spoke.

The white-clothed boy frowned, walked up to Jiang Beiran and said, "What a new emperor of Shengguo, what do you want to come to my Tao Mansion to show off?"

At this time, Mu Yao stood in front of Jiang Beiran and said: "In this hall, I only asked the dog bark, and I didn't hear anyone, but I don't know where the dog bark came from."

"What a girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth! This young master will let you guide you, who is barking!" The white-robed young man said that the profound energy around his body suddenly exploded, and he was already in the realm of a great profound master.

Seeing that the young master in white made a rude remark when he entered the door, Jiang Beiran knew that Tao Yingfa brought him back to the house not to have a good talk, but to move and rescue the soldiers.

However, Jiang Beiran is very happy to see this kind of provocation. After all, whoever makes the first move will be responsible for the loss, which is conducive to the negotiation after finishing him.

Seeing that the other party was already in the realm of the Great Profound Master, Mu Yao was not at all cowardly, and directly pulled out the Shuanghua Sword to reveal her icy blue profound energy.

"Humph! The mere Profound Master dares to draw his sword in front of this Young Master, courting death!" After speaking, the white-robed Young Master gathered cyan profound energy on the sword, and the whole person swept towards Mu Yao like a gust of wind.

"fall."

With Jiang Beiran's whisper, the originally amazing young man in white instantly fell to the ground with a dog eating shit, making a loud "bang"!

'Very good, it can also have a very good effect on the Great Profound Master. ’

Although Jiang Beiran had 10,000 ways to make the Great Profound Master in front of him make a fool of himself, he thought that Yan Ling had not yet used the Great Profound Master as a test subject, so he tried it, but the effect was still so outstanding.

The young man in white who fell to the ground inexplicably felt extremely ashamed! He got up quickly in anger, stared at Mu Yao and shouted, "What kind of magic did you use!"

Mu Yao, who had no idea what was going on, said inexplicably, "You fell, what's my business?"

"Very good, but there are some ways, then you can try this trick from me again!" After the young man in white finished speaking, he jumped high, and the blue profound energy wrapped around his body like a tornado.

This move was much more terrifying than just now, which made Mu Yao have to stand by and be ready to take out her own protective magic weapon to resist.

"The wind is like..."

Just when the young master in white was about to call out the name of the move, Jiang Beiran whispered again: "Fall."

Then I heard a "Boom"! The boy in white fell vertically in midair, smashing a deep hole on the ground.

This time, everyone in the audience was stunned? Maybe it was accidental when he fell just now? But the second time he fell like this, it was obviously man-made.

The embarrassed young man in white picked it up again from the ground? But this time, he didn't dare to say nonsense? Instead, he took two steps back.

'This bitch is too evil, obviously only a mere Profound Master Realm? But he has mastered such a powerful demon technique, he has no idea what is going on, and he is attacked again and again? It is really scary. ’

Of course, Mu Yao is also dumbfounded? The great profound master on the other side is genuine, and she has the power of profound energy in her two moves. Originally, she thought that she had to sacrifice the profound magic weapon given by her eldest father to win this battle, but before her eyes This guy seems to be out of his mind? Do something stupid.

"Big brother? Are you okay?" Tao Yingfa hurriedly stepped forward to support her brother and asked.

"It's okay." The white-robed boy waved his hand.

It's not that he was trying to be brave. The two falls just now were just ordinary falls, without any profound energy attached to it, as if a master was teasing the younger generation.

When the surprise slowly faded away, Tao Yingfa's arrogance also subsided a little? Looking at Mu Yao and asking, "I don't know which sect's apprentice the girl is."

"Bah! Who is the sect master, listen carefully? This girl is a follower of Linglong Sect."

'Linglong Sect...'

Hearing that Mu Yao was a follower of the Linglong Sect, Tao Yingfa's arrogance was completely extinguished? Just kidding... Linglong Sect, is that the demon sect created by the Xuanzong-level powerhouse Yin Jianghong? How can they afford it? .

'Although I heard that the new emperor who came to power this time has received strong support from both the righteous and the devil? But I didn't expect that Yin Jianghong would teach the middle disciples to be the guards for the new emperor... If you don't give the new emperor face, you won't give him face. Do you mean...'

Although I am still very unhappy? After all, all the time, no imperial court in the Sheng Kingdom dared to interfere in their sect's affairs, but the form was stronger than that of people. The disciple of the Spirit Dragon Cult in front of him was not only more powerful than him, but also had a more ruthless background.

'Heroes don't suffer from immediate losses, and the right to bear with them this time, and then tell Sect Master Tang about this matter, I don't believe that this little emperor can really let Zongmen make concessions to the court. ’

After swallowing this breath, the white-clothed son whispered a few words to Tao Ying first, and after he left, he put away his sword and bowed to Mu Yao: "It turned out to be the disciple of the Yin sect master, disrespectful and disrespectful. Some misunderstandings, please forgive me."

Seeing that the other party was cowardly, Mu Yao put away her Shuanghua sword and retreated behind Jiang Beiran.

The young man in white, who understood that the emperor in front of him was the speaker, swallowed hard and went up.

He bowed and said: "I was not well entertained just now, so I will apologize to the emperor."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let it pass. Is the young master the person in charge of this Tao Mansion?"

"No, it's just that when my father is not at home, the next person manages it on his behalf. The next name is Tao, the name is Xuefeng, and he is the first son of the Tao family."

"So that's the case, then you should have heard what your brother said about why I came to your Tao Mansion."

Tao Xuefeng nodded, sat on the master seat and said, "It's just that the emperor seems to have misunderstood something. Those workers in the mine were all recruited by us from the village. It shouldn't be illegal to recruit workers, right?"

The peasant man, who had been watching, immediately became anxious when he heard it, picked up the pitchfork and shouted: "You bastard with no eyes! You are obviously forcing us to go! Why did you recruit us! Lao Tzu kill you!"

After speaking, he raised his fork and pointed it at Tao Xuefeng. He didn't forget to look at Jiang Beiran and explained, "Your Majesty! You can't believe the words of this wicked person. This little white face is not a good thing at first glance!"

After comforting the peasant, Jiang Beiran looked at Tao Xuefeng and asked, "So, can I go to the mine and ask those workers, if they are really willing, then I will not ask about this matter, if they are not willing, Just ask Master Tao to put them back in his village, how about that?"

Tao Xuefeng's expression froze after hearing this, and he felt like he was being roasted on the fire. If he agreed to the new emperor's request this time and let the workers go, then if the new emperor went to another part of the Tao family to inspect the property How to do? Can't let it all go.

Don't agree... He doesn't know what the consequences will be. If Yin Jianghong comes to the door, he will become a sinner of the Tao family.

In embarrassment, Tao Fengxue changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, you have been working hard all the way through the mountains and mountains, why don't we have dinner first, and how about we discuss the matter after the meal?"

After drinking a sip of tea, Jiang Beiran replied, "Young Master Tao will have to wait for Ling Zun to return. It's okay, I can wait."

Hearing that the idea of ​​procrastinating was said by the emperor in a low-key way, and it didn't matter at all, Tao Fengxue was inexplicably short, so his mind became hot, and he decided: "The emperor has thought about it a lot, I am in charge of this matter. That's enough, I can ask the emperor to go to our mine to ask those workers, but if they do volunteer to work for my Tao family, should you apologize to our Tao family?"

Jiang Beiran laughed, looked at Tao Fengxue and said, "I'm afraid your Tao family can't bear it."

For a moment, Tao Fengxue felt a huge pressure hit him, as if his head had been hit by some blunt weapon.

'how is this possible! ? Isn't the emperor only ordinary people can be! ? How can this emperor have such a momentum! ? ’

In the panic, Tao Fengxue, who was less confident, already felt a little dizzy, and regretted the reckless promise just now.

‘Why am I so impulsive! ’

Just when Tao Fengxue regretted everything, a full-fledged voice came from outside.

"The honored guest welcomes the door, the old man is late, please also invite the honored guest Haihan!"

Hearing this voice, Tao Fengxue breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and the backbone of their Tao family came back.

Jiang Beiran was a little regretful. He just provoked that Tao Fengxue a little bit, which could have exposed him more flaws, but this time his father came back, and he naturally had no place to speak.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a long beard walked into the central hall, looked at Tao Fengxue on the director's seat, and said, "Feng'er, have you entertained the distinguished guests?"

Tao Fengxue immediately went up to him and replied, "Reporting to my father, there was a little misunderstanding at the beginning, but now it has been made clear, the boy is planning to invite the emperor to eat at the mansion."

The middle-aged man glanced at the deep hole on the ground, then smiled and said, "That's good." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "This is the emperor, old man Tao Yangbo, who just returned from Lei Mingzong, by mistake. To pick up the car, please don't blame the emperor."

'Well... the older ones are still younger than the younger ones. ’

In one sentence, he first expressed his stance that he did not intend to tear his face, and then took out Lei Mingzong and pressed himself, which was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Consul Tao is very polite. It's normal that Consul Tao is not here because I came here suddenly."

Sitting on the empty master seat, Tao Boyang said again: "I heard from the dog, the emperor is here because of the mine?"

"Exactly." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I wonder if Consul Tao knows the new decree issued by me?"

"I know, of course I know. There are signs posted all over the street, and there are special people reading it. It's hard for the old man to know whether or not to know. The emperor's thunderous tactics really opened the old man's eyes."

"Then why did Master Tao arrest the villagers of Xinhe Village to mine for you?"

Tao Yangbo sighed and said, "Oh, this old man also has difficulties. Although this old man's Tao Mansion is backed by Lei Mingzong, he is very majestic on weekdays, but only he knows the hard work."

Although what Tao Yangbo said was somewhat ambiguous, when he said this, it was equivalent to him admitting that he had indeed arrested the villagers for mining, rather than making some poor excuses like his son.

‘The old fox wants to play emotional cards? ’

In Jiang Beiran's guess, Tao Yangbo continued: "This old man has to donate thousands of spirit stones to Lei Mingzong every month, as well as food, mines, paper, silk, etc. If this is not fully delivered, this old man will The whole family is also at risk for their lives.”

After listening to Tao Yangbo's words, a white light suddenly flashed in Jiang Beiran's mind.

'Yup! ’

Jiang Beiran suddenly found that he had been thinking wrong all the time. As the emperor, he should not deal with those sects, even if it was about Shi'an and Yin Jianghong.

He backed him up, and if he insisted, he could suppress him for a while, but these sects would definitely regard him as a thorn in their side, and deal with him quickly.

Moreover, the policy of coercion is a method that cannot be used for a long time, because wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Only a win-win situation is the best way to keep the relationship going.

I have been thinking about how to make those sects change their minds, but I don't know why sect masters like Guan Shi'an have such a lack of understanding of the people at the bottom. There is only one reason. They do not "exploit" the people by themselves. Almost every door has a "folk spokesperson", just like the Ye family and the Shao family in Jiyuan Town, who are ranked first and second. They seem to be majestic, but in fact they are just a messenger under the Sifang Sect and the Full Moon Sect.

For cultivators, cultivation is the top priority. As for digging spiritual stones, planting vegetables, raising silkworms, and other low-level jobs, they naturally wouldn’t do it, and they would all be thrown directly to their subordinates’ families.

And these subordinate families must not only ensure the completion of their tasks, but also make money from them. Naturally, only the common people suffer.

So at this moment, Jiang Bei suddenly realized that he was not dealing with those sects, but the great families under the sects!
