Chapter 323 The Purpose of the "Royal Gate"
Chapter 323 The Purpose of the "Royal Gate"
Tie Jibo could tell that Yuan Tianshu's aura was stronger than he had ever seen before.
If a real fight breaks out, I fear it will end the same way as the attack on Cao Erdan.
In the past, the three hundred elite warriors of Tiejiazhuang were invincible, so they were all full of heroic spirit.
Since Cao Erdan single-handedly ruined the entire situation, their fighting spirit has been halved.
Even Tie Jibo became indecisive.
Yuan Tianshu continued:
"Our Mr. Duanmu intends to befriend the Tie family, so he will not tolerate anyone interfering!"
Even my apprentice, if he dares to attack someone from the Tie family, must die!
And as for the murderer who killed the Tie family, Mr. Duanmu will also help the Tie family seek justice!
In that case, killing Tieluan would be considered Razor's personal act.
Tie Jibo asked:
"Who is the other person Mr. Yuan mentioned?"
"Cao Erdan, wasn't it him who killed Tie Baoshan!"
Tie Jibo couldn't help but sigh:
"It was Baoshan who coveted it and brought about his own demise."
Yuan Tianshu laughed heartily:
"I never imagined that Mr. Tie, as the elder and head of the village, would be so ignorant!"
Tie Jibo angrily said:
"I, Tie, have acted uprightly and honestly, and I have a clear conscience. How could I possibly talk about something foolish?"
Yuan Tianshu said:
"Tie Baoshan's fondness for Cao Erdan's treasures is not a capital offense. As the leader of the Tie family, you have your own nephews killed, yet you try to exonerate the other party and listen to the murderer's one-sided story. You cannot convince the public!"
These words sent a shiver down Tie Jibo's spine.
Those words really stung him.
If it were anyone else, even if the Tie family was at fault, Tie Jibo would not tolerate you killing members of the Tie family.
However, Cao Erdan used force first and then diplomacy.
Only after overwhelming the Tie family's three hundred elite soldiers with force did they try to reason with them.
Tie Jibo was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about Cao Erdan.
Therefore, shaking hands and making peace was a last resort!
Although I felt that Cao Erdan was an upright and honest man, I was still somewhat unwilling to let him kill Tie Baoshan like that!
At this moment, after hearing Yuan Tianshu's words, he could only sigh.
Yuan Tianshu struck while the iron was hot:
"Tiejiazhuang is no match for Cao Erdan, so it's understandable that they don't want to suffer any immediate losses."
But the Duanmu family wants to cooperate with you to kill Cao Erdan, and you still refuse to cooperate.
That would be a bit unreasonable.
Calling you foolish is not an exaggeration; isn't this just being out of touch with reality?
Tie Jibo looked at Yuan Tianshu:
Why is the Duanmu family helping me?
"Because Cao Erdan hurt Young Master Duanmu Ye! So we are mortal enemies!"
"If you want me to help your Duanmu family, what benefit would I get from that?"
Yuan Tianchu said in a low voice:
"Kill Cao Erdan to avenge Tie Baoshan, and you'll gain the respect of your men. Besides, Cao Erdan possesses a powerful weapon; if you kill him, it's yours!"
Seeing this, Tie Jibo couldn't help but draw the divine weapon in Cao Erdan's right hand again!
A fleeting glint of greed crossed his eyes.
……
Half an hour later, Yuan Tianchu walked out of the village leisurely.
Tie Jibo didn't see him off; it was Tie Hongguang who took him to the village entrance.
He got into the ride-hailing car that was waiting for him and sped away.
Unbeknownst to everyone, another drone was hovering in the sky above the village entrance.
Meanwhile, in a residential building, several people were holding instant noodles, their eyes glued to the images transmitted back by the drone on their computers.
A thin man in his fifties put down a cup of instant noodles.
ask:
"Wenli, what do you think?"
This man is Ding Zhan, the highest-ranking commander of the Imperial Clan in Nantong Province.
His eyes were fixed on Song Wenli.
Song Wenli was both brave and resourceful, and Ding Zhan greatly admired him.
Song Wenli swallowed the last bite of instant noodles:
"I think the reason Yuan Tianchu went to the Tie family was simply to join forces with them to deal with Cao Erdan. Now Cao Erdan has become a major threat to the Duanmu family!"
The monsoon, standing to the side, was puzzled:
"How could you think that? The Duanmu family killed Tie Luan, and the murderers were handed over to the Tie family by Cao Erdan. Now the Tie family and Erdan are friends!"
Governor Ding Zhan smiled slightly:
"There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests! I think Wenli is right. Yuan Tianshu is known for his cunning and shrewdness. He is good at using others and will not easily take action himself."
Song Wenli also said:
"It's quite simple to deal with the Tie family; coercion and bribery will suffice!"
Ding Zhan nodded:
"Yes, this is the iron-blooded men of the Tie family who have three hundred elite warriors, yet they can never join the ranks of the big shots and the wealthy, because they are all just brave men!"
Jifeng laughed:
"So, since our royal family is so poor, are we all just brave men?"
Ding Zhan shook his head:
"We are united by the word 'justice.' If you want to get rich, don't come to the Royal Gate!"
Monsoon's rebuttal:
"That's not right. I heard Lao Song say before that if Cao Erdan could come to Huangmen, a million-dollar annual salary wouldn't be a dream!"
Ding Zhan asked him:
"So, did you get the million?"
"I earn over ten thousand a month. They still owe me three months' salary, otherwise I wouldn't be eating instant noodles with you guys!"
Ding Zhan nodded:
"That's right! They owe me six months' salary and I haven't said anything! So, we're not fighting for money!"
As he spoke, he took out a certificate of merit from the drawer:
"This award was personally presented by General Dingguo, and it is my motivation to strive!"
Upon seeing the large red seal on the certificate bearing the words "General Su Yi, the Stabilizer of the Nation," both Song Changli and Ji Feng were filled with awe.
Su Yi is known as the God of War of the Dragon Kingdom.
He is the highest commander of the Imperial Guard.
It was he who, along with his brothers from the royal family, secretly protected the safety of the Dragon Kingdom day and night.
This is what made foreign invaders fear them.
This will deter martial artists from acting recklessly.
Back then, Su Yi, the war god who guarded the nation's gate alone on horseback, was someone everyone spoke highly of.
All of Huangmen's followers are his die-hard fans.
Ding Zhan said:
"Recently, General Dingguo called me with instructions."
Whether it's Nantong Prefecture or Ming Prefecture, there are many powerful families and martial arts practitioners in the prefectures who collude with each other.
Then expand your own power.
If this phenomenon is not curbed as soon as possible, the power of wealthy clans and families may increase and become difficult to control in the future.
If they were to gather a large number of martial arts practitioners, they would inevitably form a criminal gang.
Therefore, we are required to take action, appropriately assist the Security Bureau, and intervene!
Previously, the "Royal Gate" only supervised the martial artists' training and did not care whether wealthy families kept thugs.
It now appears that the authorities are beginning to prioritize controlling privately owned armed forces.
Ding Zhan continued:
"Furthermore, in the twenty years since our Royal Gate was established, there have been too few young people who have joined the Royal Gate for the sake of justice, and it seems that there will be no successors. Moreover, the skills of the new recruits are too weak. Therefore, we should try our best to recruit this young man, Cao Erdan!"
After speaking, he looked at Song Changli.
Song Changli grinned:
“I’ve told Erdan this countless times, I’ve even tried to convince him that he could earn a million a year, but he says he doesn’t want to be tied down!”
Ji Feng laughed and said, "With that beat-up car you're driving, who would believe you can make money by fooling the Royal Family!"
Song Changli nodded in agreement:
"Of course, besides, Cao Erdan has now taken over the Binye Group and is also the president of the cooperative chamber of commerce. His private assets are more than the governor's. I don't think bribery will work on him!"
Ding Zhan was in a real predicament:
"What should we do then? How about we find a few pretty women to seduce him and get him into the family?"
He then waved his hand:
"This isn't a good idea; it sounds bad if people hear about it!"
