Zhu Taining and He Weiping broke out in cold sweat and felt stiff all over. When the hot wind blew, they felt chilly.
"Brother Zhu, what should we do?" He Weiping actually knew very well that although it was easy for the grasshopper to survive, neither party would benefit.
After a certain party determines the winner, the life of the grassroots will be even more difficult. Not everyone can withstand the strange atmosphere and pressure.
Zhu Taining patted his belly and frowned, as if he had made an important decision. He looked at He Weiping and said, "Do you dare to take a gamble?"
…
"Township Chief, do you still think highly of King You?"
"It's not that I'm optimistic about King You, at least... King You is more human than the Du family!" Long Yaozu sighed: "From the current point of view, supporting King You is courting death, but... this world belongs to their Li family! I As the mayor of the township, I should support them, but you... you can decide what to do on your own."
Looking at the back of the fellow village head leaving, many people fell into deep thought. This was a dilemma decision.
One side will always lose.
…
Qingyun County.
The county office is closed today.
Ding Guomin, the magistrate of Qingyun County, is ill in bed and infected with wind and cold. It is really inconvenient to see guests.
Outside the Qingyun County government office, countless carriages and nobles were waiting.
Many nobles have the desire to curse others.
Ding Guomin was right before and predicted success.
But no one expected that the Du family and others would go to sue King You after they were full.
This is going to be troublesome.
Although everyone is from the noble family camp, now we are enemies.
Your Du family wants farm tools for free, so aren’t we being taken advantage of in vain?
Can this be tolerated?
They wanted to ask the far-sighted Magistrate Ding, but Magistrate Ding was also frightened.
This can no longer be accomplished by cheating.
How many families are involved and how many people are involved?
He, a mere county magistrate, has no right to get involved.
Therefore, Ding Guomin wisely chose to stay ill in bed. He could not wade through this muddy water, and he did not dare to wade through it.
"Master, there's a letter!"
Ding Guomin, who originally planned to continue pretending to be dead, sat up in an instant. The casual look in his eyes disappeared, but instead there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes: "The one in Kyoto?"
"Yes!" Personal guard Ding Haihai nodded.
Ding Min trimmed his hair, solemnly took the letter from Ding Haihai, opened it, and his expression became wonderful.
Ding Haihai didn't know what good news his master had seen, but the expression on his face was the most comfortable in recent days.
Ding Guomin read the letter carefully two or three times, put it away solemnly, and said: "Please come in, gentlemen."
Ding Haihai was shocked. Didn't the master say that he wouldn't go through this muddy water?
Why did you change your mind after reading the letter?
Soon, Ding Guomin finished washing and came to the living room.
"Hahaha--"
People arrive before they arrive, and Ding Guomin, who is involved in official circles, knows best.
The reception hall was overcrowded.
The eight major families in Qingyun County and other famous dignitaries all arrived, and even some dignitaries from other counties came quietly.
In their eyes, Magistrate Ding is simply the best person in the world.
The ability to predict the future is terrifying.
Therefore, they respect the Ding people very much.
"Master Ding!"
The background of these powerful people is not weak. In fact, Ding people are not qualified for them to visit their homes.
But now they are particularly enthusiastic about Ding people.
Ding Guomin said modestly that he did not dare and asked them to sit down.
"Master Ding, this situation is... difficult to handle."
"It's all the Du family's fault..."
"Shh-"
They all bought Li Zhao's farm tools. They originally had priority, but now that the Du family is doing this, they almost feel EMO.
Their eager eyes fell on Ding Guomin's face, and Ding Guomin immediately showed the natural acting side of a politician.
"Everyone..." He considered his words, his expression became more solemn, as if this matter was difficult to handle.
"We are saying this behind closed doors today. If we say it outside this door, Ding will not admit it."
"Of course!" Everyone was overjoyed to see Ding Guomin like this.
They knew that the county magistrate must have his own considerations.
They have already signed a big deal with King You. No matter from any aspect, they don't want King You's things to be free.
This is very detrimental to them.
Ding Guomin coughed and lowered his voice deliberately: "This time, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!"
Everyone nodded approvingly.
"Please forgive Ding for being rude, I would like to ask you a few questions."
"It's okay to ask, my lord!"
"First, what is King You doing?"
"ah?"
Everyone is confused, what is this?
"Hiss, right? What is King You doing?"
"He seemed to have done nothing and even actively refused to see guests."
"Yes, many big bosses who came to do business from far away are cursing!"
Ding Guomin smiled and asked a second question: "When harvesting rice, you need to thresh it. After the rice is dried, you need to clean it. So what's next?"
"Um?"
The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at the magistrate with confusion.
We are here to ask you how to stand in line. What are you asking?
Did the county magistrate mean something?
"Could it be that...the magistrate means that King You has a back-up plan?"
Ding Guomin did not answer this question and continued: "The third question, if you have to face a life and death crisis? Should you just wait for death? Or should you try to gain a chance of survival?"
"hiss--"
The only sound in the living room was the sound of everyone breathing.
If you can't taste the taste at this time, you'd be really stupid.
One by one, the people in charge stood up and bowed to Ding Guomin and clasped their fists: "Thank you, Lord Ding, for clearing up the confusion!"
Ding Guomin quickly waved his hand and said: "Only if you are good to me, Qingyun County will be good. If Qingyun County is good, then I, the county magistrate, will be good."
"It's just Lord Ding... Now everyone who came to do business with King You has gone back cursing..."
Even though Ding Guomin has pointed out the problem, some people are still worried.
Ding Guomin shook his head and said: "This is just my personal guess. You... can make your own choices. Ahem... I've been feeling cold recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you any more. Please feel free to do so."
He picked up the tea, intending to see off the guests.
During sensitive periods, these people dare not stay longer.
Ding Guomin asked Ding Haihai to send them out, and he closed the door again to thank the guests.
After Ding Haihai sent everyone away, he asked with doubts: "Sir, why did you..."
"Shh!" Ding Guomin shook his head and said, "Don't do anything during this period!"
"yes!"
"Then King You..."
Ding Guomin said with a smile: "Let's just keep it under control and tell the people around us not to get involved and speed up the rice harvest."
"Yes!" Ding Haihai asked no more questions.
Ding Guomin looked at the sky outside and sneered: "I don't know how many people will be ruined this time..."
He knew very well that King You would never sit back and wait for death.
If King You is still sitting there, it can only mean one thing. King You was not at a disadvantage from the beginning to the end.
"Prince You, Prince You... do you still have some trump cards and support? Will the family be severely damaged this time?"
