Return to the month before the end of the world

Chapter 287 Yang Mingyu’s choice

"It's not impossible to stay. We will share the 700 million kilograms of grain equally."

"no problem."

Cui Xujie asked in a solemn tone: "Lao Wu, is it too risky this time?"

"I thought you didn't know how to be afraid. Compared with the opportunity, this loss is nothing to fear. Brother, you have overlooked one thing. Since the one from Peach Blossom Spring agreed, he basically recognizes you."

"I'm still a little worried, Xu Feng. This may be the biggest bet I've ever made in my life. If we win, our Cui family will make a comeback. If we lose, it will be doomed."

At this moment, a dissatisfied voice sounded: "Humph, I thought you didn't know how to be afraid. You didn't tell me about such a big thing."

Cui Xujie and Cui Xufeng stood up quickly and respectfully shouted to the visitor: "Dad."

"You still know that I am your father, but you didn't tell me such a big thing."

Seeing his son's embarrassment, Mr. Cui snorted coldly: "Okay, I was very relieved when I handed the Cui family into your hands. You did the right thing."

"dad?"

"If you don't break it, you won't build it. This is a dark era, and it's also an era where heroes emerge in large numbers. Your choice is not wrong. What makes me angry is that you didn't tell me."

"Aren't I afraid that you will worry?"

At the same time, the Li family was in a different situation.

After Li Jing returned home, he immediately asked to see his father, the previous head of the family.

After learning the whole story, Mr. Li yelled angrily: "You stupid pig, people have reminded you like this, but you didn't react at all. How dare you tell me, if I had known you were such a fool, I shouldn't have given birth to you."

Li Jing only felt ashamed, because the old man's voice was really too loud, and the curse just now attracted many people watching the fun.

"Dad, please calm down. Aren't I worried that if we lose, the Li family will have nothing?"

Mr. Li's mood that had just calmed down became violent again. He beat and scolded: "You are a hopeless pig. Are you still alive? Are you still alive? Don't you have any hands or feet?"

After a flurry of excitement, the scene finally calmed down. At this time, Li Jing had become miserable.

At this moment, the old housekeeper walked in from outside. He was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. Maybe he was used to it.

"Sir, just now the Cui family split up. The major branches chose to leave the Cui family. It is said that the current head of the Cui family, Cui Xujie, has gone crazy."

"He is not crazy. He is smarter than anyone else. It is a pity that our Li family did not catch up with the good opportunity."

Li Jing asked in confusion with panda eyes: "Dad, our Li family will also be divided, right?"

"You still have the nerve to speak. If you hadn't made things like this, the Li family would have become so passive!"

"Dad, why on earth did he do this?"

"You?" Mr. Li answered this question in a tone of hatred.

"That guy from the Cui family plans to use 700 million kilograms of grain to gain Xiao Chan's friendship. As for the separation of the family, one reason is to protect the Cui family's bloodline. After all, this is a gamble. If you succeed, you can rise quickly. If you lose, you may lose everything. One reason is to prove your loyalty."

Li Jing suddenly understood and asked in a panic: "Dad, what should we do now?"

"Wait, our Li family has lost the opportunity, but the person who takes the advantage may not be able to obtain the greatest benefits. Send me all the information about Peach Blossom Spring, and I will make arrangements during this time."

In the city lord's mansion, Xiao Chan was also chatting with Yang Mingyu.

"The Cui and Li families found me this morning. The Cui family asked me to be their lobbyist, hoping to persuade you to give up your past grudges."

Yang Mingyu replied in shock: "I didn't expect that he could persuade President Xiao to be a lobbyist. I'm afraid the price is not small, right?"

"The Cui family is willing to contribute 500 million jins of grain to the city lord's palace as compensation, and my reward is 200 million jins of grain plus a promise." Xiao Chan bluntly stated Cui Xujie's conditions.

Yang Mingyu gasped. His first reaction was that Cui Xujie was crazy, otherwise he would not have come up with such a crazy plan.

When he came back to his senses, he asked tentatively: "I wonder what President Xiao means?"

"This is City Lord Yang's private matter, I'm just a messenger."

Just as Yang Mingyu was thinking about it, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence.

Yang Mingyu was a little angry because he was receiving distinguished guests and he specifically reminded them not to disturb them.

After knowing the purpose of his men's visit, Yang Mingyu immediately asked: "Is the situation true?"

"It's true. I've personally investigated it and it's absolutely true."

"I know, you go down first."

Xiao Chan looked at Yang Mingyu's shocked expression and asked cautiously: "City Master Yang, what happened? Maybe I can help."

Yang Mingyu waved his hands and told the truth in a complicated tone: "My subordinates just told me that the Cui family has been separated. The major branches have chosen to leave the Cui family. Now the Cui family is equivalent to a second-rate family."

Xiao Chan was also very surprised. She never expected that the Cui family would split up at this time, and the situation now became even more complicated and confusing.

After more than ten minutes, Yang Mingyu finally came to his senses and asked Xiao Chan: "President Xiao, what do you think I should choose in this matter?

Xiao Chan smiled bitterly: "City Master Yang, I really can't say anything about such an important matter. You still need to make the decision yourself."

Yang Mingyu took a deep breath: "Could President Xiao please tell him something for me, saying that I promised him, for the sake of 500 million kilograms of grain, the previous matter will be wiped out, and President Xiao will be asked to be a witness."

"It's my pleasure."

"Isn't it hard for President Xiao to explain why I agreed to his conditions?"

"I'm indeed a little curious about this, but if it's not convenient to say it, forget it. In fact, I'm not too curious." Xiao Chan smiled bitterly.

"It's not that complicated. They did put a lot of pressure on me before, but with the arrival of President Xiao, these pressures have disappeared. These grains can be considered compensation. At least the people in the city can feel better?"

"They are lucky to have City Master Yang in charge of the imperial city."

"You are my lucky star. If you hadn't appeared, I don't know what Yucheng would have become. But there is one thing I'm confused about. Why did the Cui family spend so much money?" Yang Mingyu laughed.

"Maybe I can answer this question. If I'm not wrong, in addition to apologizing, he also wants to get in touch with Taohuayuan. Only this explanation is the most reasonable."
