Xiao Yan's voice was not high-pitched, and there was no edge in his words, but those words made Liang Guangyi's face tremble.
"Although I was young back then, I had seen the splendor of the He family. The house was filled with gold and jade, and the palace was decorated with beautiful ornaments. For example, the Liang family was not half as wealthy as the He family."
"Everyone knows the background of the He family and how prominent the He family was when my grandfather was alive. They cannot fall into the hands of the governor. Just let the He family show up and live on the charity from Taishi Liang's fingers. It would be better to just do this. Let’s do this, so that when I die of old age in the future, I won’t be able to see the ancestors of the He family.”
"..."
Liang Guangyi's face stiffened.
If you want money, you need money, no matter what you do, you still belittle him! !
It was as if his mouth had been tempered with poison. He was still looking forward to dying peacefully and in peace, fearing that he would die on the streets one day!
Liang Guangyi's chest felt tight, but he had to silently reassure himself that he was here to seek peace, so don't look at Xiao Yan's face.
Before he set off today, he already knew that there would be blood on this trip, so don't argue with him. As long as he could appease this biting "mad dog" and keep the family safe, it was okay to endure the anger for a while.
Liang Guangyi forced himself to laugh: "Supervisor Xiao is joking, how can the Liang family compare with the He family? But as a family, the other families cannot bear to see the He family wither."
He took out a volume from his sleeve, placed it on the table and pushed it to the opposite side.
"We had many misunderstandings with the He family back then, and we did not help the He family because we listened to the villain's words because we were confused for a while. However, after all, we have been friends for many years and couldn't bear to see the He family's things left to others. I and the other families each collected some."
"Originally I wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but now that I know that the blood of the He family still exists, and what happened back then was unjust, I and others are naturally willing to return it."
Seeing Xiao Yan raising his eyebrows but not smiling, Cao Dejiang also looked at him.
Liang Guangyi's old face was a little embarrassed. He knew that what he said was shameless and embarrassing, but he couldn't directly say that the He family was massacred. They couldn't wait to divide the He family's belongings. Although the facts were clear to each other, they always wanted to make excuses. A fig leaf.
Liang Guangyi did not look at the two people's eyes and continued: "Most of these things were belongings to the He family back then. Now they have returned to their original owners. The rest of the lunch boxes are for me and others to congratulate Governor Xiao on his assumption of the title."
Xiao Yan took the book and glanced at it, first scanning the one hundred thousand gold at the beginning, and then continued to look down.
There are indeed many things in the book, including porcelain treasures, gold and jade items, ancient paintings and jewelry. One of the golden nanmu carvings of mountains and rivers was handed down from the ancestors of the He family. It was once placed in the study of the head of the He family. It was the most popular work of my grandfather at that time. The things I love.
These are all treasures, and it can indeed be seen that the family is sincere. Liang Guangyi is indeed here to seek peace.
only……
Xiao Yan closed the book with a snap: "Master Liang, are you humiliating me?"
Liang Guangyi frowned: "Supervisor Xiao..."
"I think no one knows better than you how much wealth the He family had back then. The money flowing from the fingers of the He family was enough to support half of the capital. Your family's wealth has increased dramatically because of the possessions of the He family. Now you only have You want to get rid of this governor with such a trivial thing?"
Xiao Yan threw the book away, and when it landed on the table, he showed a bit of the coldness of the owner.
"One hundred thousand gold...ha!"
Liang Guangyi pursed his lips: "One hundred thousand gold is not enough for the He family's property, but Governor Xiao should understand that after the He family's property was ransacked, more than half of the property was taken away by His Majesty and the Lu family. Although our family took some, it was not the bulk. …”
"so what?"
Xiao Yan's face was full of indifference: "The Lu family was confiscated and all the property was lost to the national treasury. I can't get it. I will ask for your Majesty's share later. You and your family are safe now only because I knew what happened back then." You are not the mastermind, and I don’t want to go to war, but that doesn’t mean you are innocent.”
Liang Guangyi said anxiously: "I have never harmed the He family..."
"Then do you dare to swear on the ancestors of the Liang family and all the descendants that you were unaware of Lu Chongyuan's plot to murder my grandfather? When the He family was convicted, you and the other families did not add fuel to the flames and turned a blind eye to the He family's innocence. After the genocide was wiped out, like mosquitoes and flies, they pounced on the thousands of corpses of the He family to suck blood and swallow marrow?"
Liang Guangyi's face turned pale after what Xiao Yan said.
"It's true that you didn't get as much as the Lu family and Anti, but you know how much benefit you got after the He family was gone."
"With this little thing, you just want to calm down the trouble and send me away. Do you think I am a beggar?"
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves without looking at Liang Guangyi again.
"Canglang, send Grand Master Liang out!"
"Director Xiao!"
When Cang Lang came in, Liang Guangyi said quickly: "I sincerely want to make peace with you."
"I don't see any sincerity in this."
Xiao Yan said coldly: "I'm afraid Grand Master Liang has forgotten that it is you who begs me now, not me who begs you."
"You don't need to use the same method you used to deal with Cao Gong and others to blackmail me. I don't care what happens to the court or the Wei Dynasty. You don't have to expect that a person who crawled out from the dead will still care. What a great cause."
His brows were stained with frost, his eyes were filled with astonishing ferocity, and his words about "climbing out of the dead" made people feel chilly.
Liang Guangyi's original belief that Xiao Yan's concession was for the sake of the overall situation began to waver. He suddenly remembered that whether Xiao Yan was a son of the He family or..., he had experienced family destruction and death, and had seen his relatives die in vain.
He survived only after nearly dying. Over the years, he used all means to climb to his current position step by step. Even when he was the head of the internal prison, he was never a good person. He would really do it because of the safety of the Wei Dynasty and because of those great righteousnesses. , Comprehensive concession?
Cang Lang stood next to Liang Guangyi with a cold face: "Master Liang, please."
"Director Xiao!"
When Liang Guangyi saw that Xiao Yan was really planning to let him leave and was obviously angry, he frowned and quickly looked at Cao Dejiang: "Mr. Cao."
Cao Dejiang looked unhappy: "Master Liang, since you want to cultivate well, you shouldn't test things everywhere."
After speaking, he calmed down and looked at Xiao Yan: "Master Xiao, I know you don't care about the court, but Princess Xiangning has been taught by Grand Tutor Rong and has always hoped for peace in the world. She also told me that she hopes for the He family. After Zhaoxue, I can live a stable life with you."
"If the Great Wei Dynasty is unstable, the eggs will not be intact if the nest is overthrown. Of course you don't care about this, but you don't want Princess Xiangning to be displaced with you. Or do you want the Rong family to succeed the He family? Are you also called a treasonous thief?"
"You don't need to threaten the governor with Tang Ning!" Xiao Yan's face was full of anger.
Cao Dejiang's voice softened slightly: "It's not a threat, it's just a discussion. I don't want to see you and the family die, the Wei Dynasty overthrown, and the people displaced."
Xiao Yan's eyes changed, as if he hesitated because of Cao Dejiang's words. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"You don't have to replace the He family's items that can't be found, but the governor will ask for 800,000 gold. In addition, each of your families will take half of the book collection and put it in Rongsheng Academy. You can keep the copies at home. "
