074 Negotiation

As sunset approaches, Mrs. Wang finally appears.

In the faint twilight, a small boat sailed out from the depths of Taihu Lake. Except for an old woman rowing, there was only Mrs. Wang riding in the boat. On this vast lake, it seemed a bit small, but it seemed to have a tragic and decisive taste. This unique way of appearance surprised Zhao Ji, and even felt guilty of making trouble and bullying the weak. But the problem was that last night, it was clearly that he was chased by the Wang family Haonu and leaned against the shore!

When the boat approached the Lady of the King of Huafang to board the boat, the old woman shouted in grief and anger: "Madam..." It seemed like she was separated from life and death.

Zhao Ji sat in the cabin, waiting for Mrs. Wang to walk into the cabin. He had seen the jade image in the stone chamber at the bottom of Jianhu Palace. When Mrs. Wang entered the door, she couldn't help but look carefully and compare it in her heart. She looked at it in six or seven parts in appearance. Although Mrs. Wang was old, her appearance was still bright and shining. She had just a stern face, and her eyes were faintly shining with a sharp edge. The corners of her lips were pursed, giving people a sense of meanness and sternness. She did not feel pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Ji has always believed that although the saying "Seem comes from the heart" is somewhat exaggerated, it can often be used as a reference. After a person's thirty-five years, his mood, character, and appearance can probably be reflected in his appearance. The same years pass, the impact and traces left on each person are different. However, this Mrs. Wang did not leave a quiet or restrained charm on her, but it left a sense of extremeness, fierceness and even a hint of sinisterness. Just like a jar of new wine cannot be stored in its own way, it turned into sour soup after the world has moved, which is a pity.

While Zhao Ji was observing Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang stared at Zhao Ji without hesitation. She thought she was going to meet a playboy who was so flirtatious that she was disgusting. What was quite surprising was that this young man had a good image. Not only did he not have the frivolous and arrogant appearance of some playboys, but he had a kind of elegant and calm temperament, which did not give people an aggressive feeling, and a kind of confidence and determination appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.

Mrs. Wang has seen an excellent young man, such as the nephew Murong Fu. Putting aside the prejudices in his heart, Murong Fu is indeed a very outstanding young man. He has a family background and has rules and etiquette when dealing with others. He does not give people a flattery when treating others. He is polite when alienating others and does not make people feel resentful. These small details of daily behavior are pieced together to make people feel a person's demeanor.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't like Murong Fu, she still had to admit in her heart that there are very few young people who are now compared to Murong Fu. If Murong Fu compared with the young man in front of her, her graceful demeanor is a little pretentious, as if the gap between a ruined house that strongly supports the scene and the inheritance of a true family.

These thoughts only passed by in my heart. Mrs. Wang walked into the cabin and sat down directly in the seat opposite Zhao Ji, saying, "I am the hostess of the Wang family. You must ask me to talk about it. Let's talk about whatever you want."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "Madam Wang, you seem to have misunderstood. I don't have to talk about it. Since things have happened, you have to solve it. For me, there are many ways to solve it, and talking about it is just one of them. It's just hard to be happy. If you want to keep your breath, I have quite a lot of choices."

"So, there's no need to talk about it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face darkened and stood up suddenly and said, "I naturally understand what power you officials have to fight for. But if you want to trick my Wang family into beating them, it is rare! Since you don't want to talk, then use other methods!"

Zhao Ji looked at Mrs. Wang with an angry face, and then served tea to see her off.

Mrs. Wang's silver teeth were bitten by mistake, her eyes were cold and her clenched fists and nails almost pierced their palms. After standing for a long time, she squeezed out a sentence from her mouth: "Talk about it... My family offended you last night. It was all my mistakes that I made by my own family management. If you have any requests, just say it..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji smiled again, and his attitude was right. If he just wanted to be tough, there was no need to talk about it anymore. He stood up and asked, "Since you want to talk, then you can let go of the grudges in your heart. Please sit down, let's discuss the matter and talk about each other's satisfaction."

"Just discuss the matter?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but sneered at the corner of her mouth. After sitting down, she said again: "Since you are willing to reason, that's great. Killing someone will pay for your life. Is this the truth right? My village has made a thief and killed several lives. Is it wrong for my family to go out to arrest the murderer? You shelter the murderer and keep the man on the boat. My family is eager to catch the thief. Not only do you obstruct, you have caught my old family and chopped off her arm. What's the reason?"

Zhao Ji could hear that Mrs. Wang was quite resentful, and it was a blessing that someone had sent Mu Wanqing away first, otherwise it would be difficult to make a comeback for three days and three nights. After pondering for a while, he said, "What I said is to discuss the matter, and I ignore the past happenings in the wife's village. Even if there are many bones buried in your farm, it has nothing to do with me, and it is the responsibility of the local government to ask about it. What I want to talk to you is that I am rafting around the lake by myself, and your family will surround you indiscriminately and scold and threaten. If I hadn't had some luck and self-defense skills, I would have been a wronged ghost at the bottom of the lake."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but feel confused. Is this young man's words intentionally or unintentionally? In the past, she had no idea of ​​the king's law, but in the afternoon she heard Deng Baichuan's painful statement, she still felt a little afraid. She used to think things too simply. According to Deng Baichuan's statement, if the other party wanted to pursue the matter, she would be afraid that tens of thousands of troops would be surrounded by her farm. Not to mention that she would destroy the whole family after escaping from afar, she was afraid that the whole family would be left without leaving any more.

As long as people have the existence of the king's law in their hearts, it is not easy to avenge them! The shore of the land is the king's land. If the other party is really as powerful as Deng Baichuan said, I am afraid that even if I escape from the Song Dynasty and go to Xixia or Dali, I will find peace.

What really made Mrs. Wang decide to come and negotiate is an example given by Deng Baichuan. Nong Zhigao, the bandit leader who was in trouble in the southwest decades ago, fled to Dali Kingdom, but was cut off by Dali Kingdom and sent back to the Song Dynasty. What Mrs. Wang is really afraid of is that she will be treated like this, which is a result that is more unacceptable than death!
