Chapter 519

Zong Xin said regretfully: "I guess after the old man sees me... he is going to make his last move. As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty space. Zhao Jing has to take something away this time, and it is something he wants very much." .”

Lei Hong smiled as he walked: "Does it mean to announce that you are my son? Zhao Jing threatened us to give money?"

"No, no, he won't do things that are harmful to others. Announcing my identity is not beneficial to him at all, and it will also offend the Lei Palace. Zhao Jing is not so stupid. It should just force me to marry his granddaughter. If If it's just me, there's really nothing he can do about it, but if it's in the Leiwang's mansion, he doesn't dare to do anything to me."

A group of three came to the living room, and felt admiration in their hearts for a moment.Zhao Jing is really a man, a pure man.At such an old age, he can actually eat a whole table of food and drink so much wine. It is probably because the Zhao Clan's food is too bad, and Zhao Jing hasn't eaten good food for a long time.

After Zhao Jing noticed this, he was frightened out of his wits.Lei Hong became younger... For the aged Zhao Jing, this was a big blow.If the two fight, Lei Hong will win slightly, but if Zhao Jing fights hard, the result will be that Zhao Jing will be seriously injured and Lei Hong will die.

Zhao Jing is too old, so he is not as good as a young man when he moves his hands.But he can fight his life once and spend his whole life cultivating. It is estimated that even Ye Luzhen, Bu Xiangyang and Zhao Jing may not be able to retreat unscathed.Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lei Hong didn't want to offend Zhao Jing to the end, but Zhao Jing was too shameless, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

"You...you are Lei Hong?" Zhao Jing stretched out his finger to Lei Hong and said in surprise, "Why are you... Master Zong Xin, is this a good thing you did?"

Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, goodness is goodness. Filial piety is the first thing to do. If you have good things, you must be filial to your old father. It's a pity that the poor monk tried his best to snatch a drop of unicorn blood from Yeluzhen. If there are extra , of course I will pay tribute to Lord Zhao."

Zhao Jing is jealous. He hates that he didn't work hard when he was young. If he had learned from Lei Hong to pick flowers everywhere and never kill them, there would always be one or two geniuses who inherited all his talents and were born out of blue.It's too late to think about this kind of thing...

Zhao Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Hong, you really have a good son, and you can get this kind of thing for you. Qilin blood... I have never seen what a unicorn looks like in my whole life."

"Brother Zhao, don't be sad, I have never seen what a unicorn looks like." Lei Hong said, "I don't know what advice Brother Zhao has come here from afar?"

Zhao Jing glanced sideways at Zong Xin, and then said: "What else can I do? Is it because I am thinking about my grandson-in-law? Now that Master Zong Xin is famous all over the world, and he has married several wives, I think it is time for him to let him go." Zong Xin married my granddaughter Zhao Ziyan."

"Oh, this is inappropriate." Lei Hong said: "At the beginning, you assured the people of the world that the day Master Zong Xin returned to lay life was the day when Ziyan would leave the cabinet. But my son has not returned to lay life now, he is still a monk."

Zhao Jing really regretted it, his bowels were completely cleared.If I had known that Zong Xin was so capable, I shouldn't have made this promise in the first place, and locked Zong Xin and Ziyan in the same room. Even the wedding could be saved and they would become a couple.Now that Zong Xin is rich and powerful, and has Lei Hong's backing, it may be even more difficult for him to marry Ziyan.

Zhao Jing immediately shook his head, it is not difficult to get Zong Xin to marry Ziyan, but the difficulty is to let Zong Xin spend money on marrying Ziyan, and it will cost a lot of money.

"Monks can also marry wives, can't they? What's more, Zong Xin has married several times. Ziyan has been waiting for Master Zong Xin at home for two years. It won't work if she waits any longer. Girls have to marry when they grow up." Zhao Jing Seeing the tricks, after all, Zong Xin is already married to three women, so does he have to reject Ziyan?

Lei Hong nodded and said: "Brother Zhao is right. Our elders have to worry about the children's marriage. But then again, elders have to take care of their children's health, right? My son has three wives and concubines now. Recently, I plan to marry a Taoist nun named Bai Yu. We have also experienced him at this age. He has no restraint in doing things. My surname Lei just loves my son. If I want to marry another house, I am afraid his health will not be able to bear it."

"For men, three wives and four concubines are very common, nothing to bear, nothing to bear." Zhao Jing said: "Otherwise, let them get married first, and it is inconvenient for us elders to participate in those messy things."

Lei Hongdao: "Brother Zhao is talking about it, otherwise it will be like this Tianyong. We will go to hire next month. When Zhao Zifei, the eldest lady of the Zhao Clan, got married, she received a thousand taels of gold as a dowry. , pay ten times the price to marry the second Miss Zhao clan, this is the only way to show the importance we attach to this marriage. Brother Zhao, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Jing was in a dilemma, ten thousand taels of gold was not a small sum, and Lei Hong could afford it.But what is the use of ten thousand taels of gold?If it is given to an ordinary family, it is estimated that ten or a hundred lifetimes will not be spent.But for the huge Zhao family, how long can ten thousand taels of gold last?

A soldier's yearly consumption is five taels of silver, which is only regular consumption. If the loss of weapons and armor during military training is added, a soldier will spend nearly ten taels of silver a year.Moreover, the Zhao Clan belonged to a family-like private army, so the military pay was naturally higher than that of a regular military camp.

1 taels of gold is only enough for the Zhao Clan's [-] troops to last for two months, and it may not be enough.Although it is a large sum, if you take this money, you will not have any hole cards in your hand in the future.Zhao Jing knew very well that because of Zhao Kuangyin's relationship, Zong Xin actually hated the Zhao Clan, he just didn't dare to say it out loud before, but now with Lei Hong's support, Zong Xin has nothing to dare.

As long as he took the 1 taels of gold, if the Zhao Clan wants to borrow some money from Lei Hong in the future, maybe he will give it, but at most it will be three melons and two dates, and I am too embarrassed to turn against him.

Zhao Clan's original army of 8 has been reduced to [-], but the food and drink of [-] people is really a huge amount.Zhao Jing had to find a way to feed these soldiers, so he couldn't get a one-time reward. He had to find a long-term meal ticket. The best choice was of course...Zong Xin's income from Yandao.

Zhao Jing said with a smile: "Ten thousand taels of gold is too precious, how can I be so greedy? My granddaughter is also average, how can I need so much money? Just half of it."

"Okay, Big Brother Zhao, let me impress you. Tianxiao goes to the tent to get 5000 taels of gold, and then sends a team of people to escort the 5000 taels of gold to Luoyang Zhao Clan."

"No, no, it's not half of this, it's the half that Zong Xin gave to Guo Wei." Zhao Jing smiled and said, "My daughter is indeed not disciplined well. If she is allowed to get the same dowry as Princess Da Zhou, even a shameless person like me I feel sorry for all of them. But my granddaughter is capable of literature and martial arts, and her appearance is not bad, as my granddaughter of Zhao Jing, she is still qualified to take half of Princess Dazhou's dowry."

Everyone put their faces down, only Zong Xin was extremely calm, because he knew that this matter could not be discussed.When he first married Ning An, Zong Xin did give Guo Wei [-]% of Yan Island's profit.But it was Zongxin's willingness. The money was given to Guo Wei, and Guo Wei didn't spend it on luxury, but took it from the people and used it for the people. The money was all used to support the development of Dazhou and let the people live a better life. .So Zong Xin is willing to give this money to Guo Wei. Even if he does not marry Ning An, Zong Xin still intends to give Guo Wei such a sum of money, but... Mrs. Guo is too impatient. He also forced his daughter to Zong Xin.

Although Mrs. Guo knew that Guo Wei urgently needed the money, she knew that Dazhou needed a son-in-law like Zong Xin even more. His attached horse could turn all impossible things into reality, so she forced Zong Xin to marry Ning An and even snatched the salt. [-]% of the income of the island.

But Zhao Jing was different. If he gave the money to Zhao Jing, he would at most use it to fill his own army.What Zhao Jing wanted was to rebel, he wanted to be the emperor, maybe let his son and grandson be the emperor.Although this purpose is human nature, Zong Xin will never deliberately give him money to let him destroy the peace that Da Zhou has finally obtained.

"Brother Zhao, you are clearly talking like a lion, you really have the face to say it." Lei Hong said: "How much is a woman worth? [-]% of Yandao's income can allow me to marry hundreds of wives, changing every day New taste. Even if Zhao Ziyan is made of pure gold, it's not so valuable. It's all about this, let's tear our skins apart. It is absolutely impossible to take away the income of Yandao from me. You want If you want, just ask for a price, as long as I think it's not a loss, I want this daughter-in-law, if I think it's a loss, this matter will be avoided."

Zhao Jing turned his head to look at Zong Xin, and then said: "Master Zong Xin, did you say that in the future the world will be named Zhao, although I, Zhao Jing, have not ascended the throne and may not have the opportunity to become emperor, but one day I will What does it mean that the sons and grandsons of the clan will ascend the throne, and instead of trying to please you in advance, you will make things difficult for me everywhere?"

Zong Xin said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, I only said that Tianxia's surname is Zhao, but I didn't say that it would fall into the hands of your Zhao clan. There is one more thing, you have already taken a lot of money from my father, and we also Willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold to marry Zhao Ziyan, is this called making things difficult? Which girl in the world can get so much dowry? Give me all the good things, talk all the good things, don’t be shameless at such an advanced age."

What Zong Xin said was reasonable, Zhao Jing was not angry with Zong Xin's arrogant tone, nor was he angry at him saying that he was shameless, nor was he angry at him for being willing to marry Guo Ning'an with [-] taels of gold from Yandao, but only gave him [-] taels of gold to marry Zhao Ziyan.Zhao Jing was so angry that Zongxin actually said that the world might not fall into the hands of the Zhao Clan?What does it mean?It's completely different from what I said before.

Zhao Jing pointed with his finger: "Zong Xin, tell me clearly, whose hands the world will fall into. Don't think that with Lei Hong's backing, I will not dare to touch you. If there is a real fight, Lei Hong may not It's Lao Tzu's opponent."

Zong Xin said with a smile: "Of course it's someone with the surname Zhao, but there are not millions of people surnamed Zhao in the world, and there are hundreds of thousands. Are you sure that only people from the Zhao Clan have the surname Zhao?"
