As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Liang Guangyi's face twitched.
I'm afraid he's not crazy! !
"President Xiao, our family is not the Lu family. It is impossible to give the book collection to Rongsheng Academy, let alone 800,000 gold. Not to mention the treasury of the Wei Dynasty, even the surrounding countries will not be able to provide so much money."
"I am sincerely discussing with you, but you are just talking like a lion and have no intention of negotiating..."
"I didn't want to talk to you at all."
Xiao Yan's words made Liang Guangyi's face turn pale. He put one hand on the table behind him and looked extremely indifferent when his cuffs were hanging down.
"If it weren't for Tang Ning's disgust, and I also owe Taifu Rong and Duke Cao a favor, do you think I would be willing to see you? How can a mere eight hundred thousand gold be exchanged for more than a thousand lives of the He family."
Liang Guangyi was speechless by Xiao Yan's rebuke. He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction: "But 800,000 is too much. The other companies will not agree. I can make the decision and change it to 300,000..."
"Do you think the governor is discussing with you?"
Xiao Yan interrupted Liang Guangyi's words directly and forcefully: "You guys used to suck the blood and marrow of the He family's corpses, how can it be so easy to get away now?"
"Although eight hundred thousand gold is a lot of money, I have inspected your family's assets. Although the combined efforts of you and your family will be strained, I can use this to settle the past grievances and ensure the safety of the family. In exchange for this, I will no longer pursue the He family. Grand Master dares to say a word about the past that is not worth it?"
"If they are unwilling, I will naturally not force them. But whatever the prince wants to do next, it has nothing to do with me."
"you!"
Liang Guangyi glared angrily.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and did not give in.
The charcoal fire in the furnace was strong, and the water in the pot was boiling. The floating bubbles burst when they were cold, and the water vapor splashed out, falling on the hot charcoal stove and making a harsh "chichi" sound.
It was as if he was mocking Liang Guangyi for his fierce appearance and soft heart.
Liang Guangyi's eyes were gloomy, and his face was constantly changing.
Eight hundred thousand gold is too much. Even if it is divided equally, each of them will need more than 100,000. Even if several families have wealth, if they want to take it out, they have to peel off the skin and draw blood to get enough. But as Xiao Yan said, This is stepping on their bottom line and not killing them all. If they can get away from this incident and not investigate the past affairs of the He family in the future, it may not be worth it.
Moreover, Liang Guangyi could see that Xiao Yan was not bluffing, and he was bound to win the 800,000 gold.
If they take it, Xiao Yan is willing to settle the matter and stop the prince from messing around. If they don't take it, this guy will definitely not let it go.
Seeing the hesitation on Liang Guangyi's face, Cao Dejiang was obviously troubled. He glanced at Xiao Yan, stretched out his hand to pull Liang Guangyi and whispered sideways:
"Master Liang, some things cannot be compared with money. The He family lost more than 800,000 gold back then."
He lowered his voice and whispered to him: "Besides, Cui Lin offended Xiao Yan and is still in prison. The whole Cui family may be extremely frightened."
"Due to past friendship, you came out to deal with the Cui family and tried to find a way to calm them down. Cui Lin colluded with the Xuan Qin family to frame Xiao Yan, so that the prince would no longer pursue him for the death penalty of causing trouble to the palace with the death of the deposed queen. The Cui family will definitely treat you If you are grateful, you will be rewarded more."
Liang Guangyi's heart moved.
Among the aristocratic families nowadays, the Cui family is the most dangerous. The other families have old grievances with Xiao Yan. Only Cui Lin was framed in the palace and almost wanted to kill Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan insists on pursuing the case, the Cui family will be the first to bear the brunt. Uneasy, if he agrees to negotiate a peace for the Cui family and only allows the Cui family to lose money and save their lives, they will probably be willing to do so.
The Cui family is considered the richest among the families, and the eldest son Cui's daughter-in-law's natal family is also extremely wealthy.
If the Cui family were to buy Cui Lin's life for 200,000 gold... no, 300,000 gold, and the remaining 500,000 gold would be shared among the other families...
Liang Guangyi was persuaded by Cao Dejiang, his eyes flickered and he gave in to Xiao Yan: "If I agree to Governor Xiao's request and collect the 800,000 gold, is Governor Xiao really willing to settle the past grudges?"
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Of course. After the He family's name is rectified, as long as you don't take the initiative to stir up trouble in the future and don't seek any bad luck with the governor, everything about the He family will be written off."
"The rest..."
"Teacher Liang, eight hundred thousand gold is not a panacea, and my patience is limited."
Liang Guangyi's pupils shrank when he heard Xiao Yan's words. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say another word. He just said in a deep voice: "Okay, 800,000 gold. I will ask someone from the family to give it to me within half a month." , I will also be able to request Governor Xiao to seize the title..."
"There are also your collections of books."
Seeing that Liang Guangyi wanted to refuse, Xiao Yan said casually: "I want to propose marriage to Tang Ning, but my family is poor. Tang Ning is the daughter of the Rong family and is protected by the richest man of the Gu family. It is too tacky to betrothed with ordinary gold and silver. I think Taishi Liang can understand."
Liang Guangyi: "..."
Does he understand?
He understands nothing!
Liang Guangyi felt depressed in his heart and wished he could scold Xiao Yan for being shameless.
He thought gold and silver were tacky, but he didn't want to open his mouth like a lion. He wanted to peel off their skin, break their bones and suck out their marrow.
This one bit off a piece of their meat and took away 800,000 gold. He turned around with an aloof expression on his face. If Cao Dejiang hadn't been dragging him by, Liang Guangyi would have wished for a pot of hot water to be poured on his face. The shameless little thief is brainwashing!
"Master Liang, calm down, calm down..." Cao Dejiang whispered: "It's just a collection of books, a small impatience will mess up the big plan."
"Just a few? You can't stand and talk without pain in your back, why don't you try giving him your precious collection of books?"
"I have not offended Governor Xiao."
"you……"
Liang Guangyi Qijie.
Seeing him glaring at him fiercely, Cao Dejiang coughed and turned to look at Xiao Yan: "Master Xiao, since Grand Master Liang has given in, the collection of books is indeed too difficult for him. These are the foundation of the family. All of a sudden, we need to If you go half way, the other companies will definitely not agree, so how about you take a half step back?"
Xiao Yan saw that Liang Guangyi's face was green with anger, and he had the intention of turning against him. He said, "It's not impossible to take a step back, but the congratulatory gift I can give to Tang Ning cannot be less."
"Either, each of the seven aristocratic families will take half of the collection and send it to Rongsheng Academy, or, the governor will only want 100% of the original copy, but you and your family will allow the students from the academy to enter and copy all the books..."
"impossible!"
Liang Guangyi flatly refused: "How can we allow people to set foot on the important place of the family? What's more, if the place where the books are stored is allowed to come and go at will, what's the difference between it and giving it to you?"
"Then half the collection of books."
"Don't even think about it!"
Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned cold: "This won't work, that won't work either. Why, Grand Master Liang doesn't want to congratulate the governor and Tang Ning on their happiness?"
"you!"
Liang Guangyi felt that he was being unreasonable. How did he and Song Tangning have anything to do with them? Why should they spend all their money to congratulate them? !
He couldn't help but glare angrily: "Xiao Yan, I have repeatedly given in, but don't bully others too much!"
Xiao Yan pointed his fingertips at the side of his face: "I'm just bullying you, so what do you think?"
