Chapter 258 Temptation
I'll go, you spoon, your uncle! Qian Botao, who came to his senses, tried hard to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
This is so scary. It was the "Son of Emperor's Sword" just now. I can't see it once in my life, but I was so desperate that I had the chance to see it once, and I even took it to study it for a long time.
Bitch, that guy is a complete bitch. I just hope that one day the sky will open my eyes and hit the thunder and kill the girl.
Qian Botao was full of resentment, but Li Muyun had already stood in front of Wang Wei.
"Sword of the Emperor?" Wang Yi is not as unsightly as Qian Botao. How could a big shot in the Wang family in Taiyuan not know Li Shimin's sword? So when Li Muyun showed up, he asked in surprise.
After experimenting with Qian Botao with the power of the "Son of Emperor Sword", Li Muyun had already restrained a lot. Seeing that Wang Wei recognized the origin of the sword in his hand, he was not surprised. He just hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Uncle Wang for being promoted to Zhongzhou Assassination. After the imperial edict is issued, don't forget to treat him!"
Now that Li Muyun is in a state of vain, he uses the official title to call Wang Wei, which is a bit abrupt. If it is "Uncle", it means a private visit, and no one can say anything.
"Mu Yun, you have such a good news!" Wang Yi's eyes turned around the 'Sword of Emperor', with a bright smile on his face, and finally patted Li Muyun's shoulder enthusiastically: "But I still have to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't recruited so many escaped people in Shanyin County, I might have been the year when I was the governor of Xiazhou."
In fact, there is no wonder that Wang Yishi is in this situation. After all, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can walk around with the "Sword of Emperors", and even fewer people are as 'agreeable' as Li Muyun.
Although Wang Yi is a top figure in the aristocratic family, he is still much worse than the imperial power. He naturally needs to flatter himself to an emperor's favorite minister like Li Muyun.
After all, it is not easy to kill a minister of justice and not take anything. If Li Muyun had not been of the right age, he was only about ten years apart from Li Shimin, Wang Wei would almost treat him as the emperor's illegitimate son.
At this moment, Fang Yizhi, who came with Li Muyun, walked up from behind, bowed to Wang Wei and said, "I have met Uncle Wang."
"So it's Yizhi. When did you come? Why didn't you say hello in advance?" Wang Yizhi obviously recognized Fang Yizhi. When he saw him coming to see him, he quickly reached out to help him and told him not to be too polite.
One is a nobleman and the other is a noble family. Fang Yizhi recognized Wang Yizhi as not something that was difficult to understand, but the friendship between the two parties should not be very deep, otherwise Xiao Fang would not have been able to come with Mu Yun now.
However, Li Muyun, Fatty, and Gongsun Lan opened their eyes and saw what the hypocrisy of the upper class nobles was.
After a while, after Wang Wei and Fang Yizhi were chatting, Lao Wang let Li Muyun and others into the room and said first: "Muyun, I have heard about your affairs in Chang'an this time. I have to say that you are really too radical this time. If it weren't for Your Majesty's keen eyes, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to pass."
"Uncle Wang, I don't think about this, but I've forced that part to come up at that time. If he is let go, who knows what he will do next time?" Li Muyun has explained the matter more than once, and this time it's still a cliché and continues to use clichés to perfunctory things.
"Forget it, since this matter has passed, then it's over. Just be careful in the future. If there are any difficulties that cannot be solved, don't forget to come to me. Although I may not be able to help you solve it, at least I can help you think of a solution."
Li Muyun was not polite to Wang Wei. Seeing his swearing, he immediately followed the flow and said, "Thank you uncle for your concern, but when it comes to difficulties, there is really something happening right now."
"Oh? What's the matter? Let's hear it!" Wang Wei asked in a greeting voice.
"I'm not hiding it. My father was a little bored in the copycat during this period. My nephew thought about organizing a competition to make him happy, so I wanted to ask my uncle to help inform some surrounding state prefectures. I said that this year's New Year's Eve, my nephew's village will hold a Hebei Road card competition. I hope everyone can participate."
Card skills competition? Wang Wei glanced at Li Muyun and said it was so nice. Isn’t it just a gambling?
There are games like Datang Youpaijiu, so when it comes to the card skills competition, the only one is familiar with it, but Li Muyun’s words are too tactful, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.
But then again, although Li Muyun's request for this is a bit too much, this guy is the holder of the "Son of Emperor Sword". If nothing major issues are involved, no one dares to give his invitation without giving face.
You should know that the fourth-rank official below the "Emperor Sword" can kill anyone you want. Even if you do not have such a "function", this "Emperor Sword" also represents the emperor's trust.
Will someone not come if he can get an invitation from any person like His Majesty the Emperor? I guess no one except some stubborn donkeys should be so ignorant?
Thinking of this, Wang Wei nodded with a smile: "My nephew is filial to the world. No problem. This matter is covered by uncle. I will invite my colleagues to support me."
"In this way, my nephew thanked Uncle Wang." Li Muyun smiled and hugged his fists, expressing his gratitude hypocritically.
At this time, he had already realized the true purpose of the "Son of Heaven Sword".
In fact, this thing is just a celebrity effect, just like later generations putting photos with Ma’s father at home.
He held the "Son of Emperor's Sword" and could not kill people for no reason. It was like taking a photo with Ma Dad at home. He didn't necessarily find Ma Dad. It was the same thing to ask Ma Dad to do things.
But in some cases, the photo actually has some effect, at least in terms of influence, and the same is true for the "Sword of Emperor" in Li Muyun's hand.
After understanding the meaning of it, Li Muyun finally knew what this "Son of Emperor Sword" can be used for in the future. He was in a good mood. At this moment, Wang Wei spoke again: "Nephew, I have some trivial matters recently, and I am very embarrassed. I want to ask my nephew to help you think of a solution."
"Uncle Wang, please speak!" Although Li Muyun didn't know what Wang Yi was going to say, he answered very happily.
This made Wang Yi feel a little uncomfortable, and said with a embarrassed smile: "Nephew, I have no choice, it's really...ah."
"Uncle, don't do this. Just say anything!" Li Muyun smiled sincerely, with no abnormal expression on his face.
Long before he came here, he was mentally prepared. If Wang Wei, the old fox, would never give up if he didn't take advantage of him, but fortunately, Li Muyun is now poor and has no power, no money, and is not afraid of others' attention.
"This matter should be related to my nephew's iron factory." Wang Yi paused when he said this, as if he wanted to see something from Li Muyun's face, but no matter what he saw, he only had a sincere smile. In this case, he had to praise the 'little fox'.
"Iron Factory? Could it be that uncle also wants to do some steel business?" Li Muyun looked at Wang Wei with interest.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean this. But now the clan needs some pig iron, about 100,000 kilograms. I don't know if my nephew can..." Wang Wei stopped embarrassedly when he said this.
In fact, if he didn't say the next thing, Li Muyun understood, he was here to ask for the account, or he was here to test his abilities.
The Wang family has a great business, and the raw material for one million kilograms of pig iron should be good, but now he is asking him to spit out the money again. What is the meaning of it?
One reason is that the Wang family felt a little regretful about what happened at the time, and wanted to worry about clearing the relationship with him, Li Muyun, and told the outside world that the Wang family and him were just business dealings.
However, considering the current situation, Li Muyun believes that such a situation should not exist.
Another point is that the Wang family wants to explore his Li Muyun's background and test his character by asking for rewards.
If he was anxious and turned against him immediately, the Wang family would not want any pig iron again, but the relationship with him should gradually become distant from him in the future. If he agreed without caring, it would mean that Li Muyun is not the kind of petty "villain" who is calculating, and there should be greater cooperation waiting for him next.
Of course, this is just Li Muyun's guess. What is the reality will not be known until the slow development of the future.
But despite this, Li Muyun smiled and nodded: "No problem. My uncle just sends people to the county to pick it up. One pound of pig iron is guaranteed to be fine if you have 100,000 kilograms of pig iron. When will your person arrive and when will your nephew ship the goods to you?"
"Oh, no, no, my nephew misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Wang Yiu saw Li Muyun agree so happily, and a smile appeared on his face, and he explained repeatedly: "I'm fine with the money that this pig iron should be given, but you also know that this pig iron is a controlled product and is really not easy to deal with. If I had no choice, I would never speak to you."
"It's not a problem." Li Muyun shook his head, and kept pulling his clothes regardless of his body. He smiled and said, "One hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron is just a little bit. Since you have spoken, no matter how difficult it is, I will do this for you!"
"Okay! My nephew is so brave!" Wang Yi raised his thumb and praised, and laughed and said, "As long as you have this sentence, you can come to me if you have anything to do in the future."
