I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 490 The principled Xu Qingwan

From a pawn to a person who holds the pawn.

It has to be said that such a condition is indeed fatally attractive to people like You Wenzong.

But You Wenzong is not a fool with a weak will.

The word "loyalty" engraved in his values ​​still made him ready to reject Wei Changtian's olive branch after a period of struggle.

"Young Master Wei, thanks to you for thinking highly of me."

"But I'm sorry I can't agree to that."

"Since you are a minister, you should be loyal to the monarch."

"So you don't need to waste your words anymore, please give me a good time."

"."

Arching his hands, You Wenzong's words were very sincere.

But Wei Changtian didn't look at him, he just kept his head down and picked the wick.

"Snapped!"

Sparks flew, the lamp flower burst, and the originally dim light of the oil lamp suddenly became much larger.

"Master You, have you ever thought about your family?"

Putting the oil lamp back to his side with a calm expression, Wei Changtian asked lazily as if he didn't hear what You Wenzong said just now:
"The army was defeated at Niutoushan. Someone must be responsible for this matter."

"As Han Zhao is a second-rank master, Ning Yongnian will naturally not kill him, so do you think you can only recite this matter?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the collusion with the traitors caused heavy losses to the army."

"Master You, what will happen to your family members in the capital, I don't need to say more about it."

"."

His figure trembled slightly, how could You Wenzong not know what would happen to his family.

He lowered his head silently, and his voice became bitter.

"I'm the one who killed them in this matter."

"However, in the future, someone will surely avenge my wrongdoing."

"Redress the wrongdoing?"

Wei Changtian chuckled: "Lord You, even if Ning Yongnian knows the truth in the future, do you think he will do such a thing?"

"Let's take a step back, even if he will rehabilitate you, but everyone will die, and your family will be extinct. What's the point of returning your innocence then?"

"I"

His fists were clenched tightly, and the candle was flickering.

At this moment, You Wenzong only felt that his throat was extremely dry suddenly, so dry that he could no longer speak.

He himself is not afraid of death, but he is reluctant to part with his parents, wife and children.

What's more, as Wei Changtian said, "collaborating with the enemy" is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans, and by then his wandering family will have no incense to continue.
"Master You, let me tell you the truth."

On the other side, seeing You Wenzong's appearance, Wei Changtian knew that the time was almost up, so he continued to throw out the second condition.

"Before I came to see you, I had my father pick up all your family members in the capital."

"You are also aware of the current situation in the capital. The person my Wei family wants to protect, Ning Yongnian, can't move."

"So as long as you promise to do things for me from now on, then I can keep them safe and sound, and I will send them to Shuzhou to reunite with you in the future."

"And if you don't agree."

"Then even if my Wei family doesn't kill them, Ning Yongnian will never let them go."

Looking at You Wenzong who was short of breath, Wei Changtian paused, and asked again:

"Master You, the pros and cons, I have already explained clearly to you."

"I wonder if you can change your mind now?"

"."

The temptation to assume power.

Threats to family protection.

From Wei Changtian's point of view, under such coercion and temptation, Wenzong had to let go of his mouth no matter what.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get the answer he wanted.

"Young Master Wei, can you allow me to think about this matter for a few more days?"

"."

"can."

Glancing at You Wenzong, Wei Changtian stood up slowly: "It's good to think about it more, if you still have any concerns, you can send someone a message to me at any time."

"However, my patience is limited, and I can wait for the adults for five days at most."

"I don't know if five days is enough for adults to make up their minds?"

"enough."

Also standing up tremblingly, You Wenzong nodded lightly: "Within five days, no matter what, I will definitely give you an answer."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Picking up the oil lamp, Wei Changtian took another deep look at You Wenzong.

"Master You, let me say a few more words at the end."

"Believe it or not, the matter of Yuanzhou City was actually done by Ning Yongnian."

"And that's why I'm going against it."

"I just don't like people like him being emperor, that's why I help Princess Rou'an make herself king."

"Master You, don't forget."

"Ning Yuke is also surnamed Ning."

Soon, Wei Changtian came out of the prison and saw Chu Xianping who had been waiting outside.

"Son."

Chu Xianping took the oil lamp and handed it to the jailer beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Did You Wenzong not agree?"

"Well, I didn't agree."

Wei Changtian nodded: "I said I need to think about it again."

"Then do you want to keep him in prison?"

Chu Xianping thought for a while: "From what I've seen, it's better to put him in an inn and let him walk around in the city."

"Perhaps after seeing the customs and customs of Sichuan, he will no longer be so hesitant as he is now."

"."

Um?Makes sense.

Anyway, You Wenzong is not a warrior, if there is no one to respond, it is impossible to escape.

Let him take a look at the peaceful life of the people in Shuzhou, and compare the situation of the people in other prefectures and counties in Daning. Doesn't this better reflect the "institutional superiority" of Shu?

"Okay, just do it like this, just don't let him run away."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian immediately affirmed Chu Xianping's thoughts.

The two said a few more words, and then he was going to go back to the inn to find Xu Qingwan, and then go back to Shuzhou City together.

Right now, the war has just come to an end temporarily, and there is nothing important in the short term.

So Wei Changtian planned to "hurry up sooner rather than later", and take advantage of this time to marry Liang Qin first, so as not to worry about fighting again, but he doesn't know when it will be delayed.

After bidding farewell to Chu Xianping, he took a carriage all the way back to the inn.

Comrade Xiao Xu, who had received the news in advance, had already packed their luggage and was waiting in the front hall of the inn.

The inn that Wei Changtian stayed in naturally had to be "cleared", so there was no one in the inn except the staff.

However, every time passers-by on the street pass by the open gate, they can't help but take a few more glances inside.

After all, Comrade Xiao Xu's appearance is slightly worse than Yang Liushi's, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is basically not too different from a fairy.

The only thing is that this "celestial fairy" seems to be too "firework".

"."

"Shopkeeper, since we are staying in the store, we must pay the money."

Holding the money bag in her hand, Xu Qingwan was "arguing" with the innkeeper about something.

She has a serious expression, a serious tone, and what she says is extremely righteous.

"When doing business, you must abide by the rules of doing business. I am also a businessman, so I naturally understand this truth, so this money must be paid."

"Xu, Mrs. Xu"

Looking at the silver ingots that had been raised in front of his eyes, the shopkeeper in silk and satin was sweating profusely at this moment: "You, you are joking, it is already a great honor for you and Mr. Wei to patronize the shop, how can I accept your money?" silver."

"Be good, don't embarrass the villain."

"No, I'm not making things difficult for you."

Facing the shopkeeper's begging, Xu Qingwan was uncompromising: "Accept!"

"This"

The shopkeeper wasn't pretending before, he really didn't want the money.

But seeing Xu Qingwan's insistence, he had no choice but to thank her in the end, and carefully took the silver ingot into his hand.

"Mrs. Xie rewarded you with silver."

"The villain will decide in the future"

"You wait."

Suddenly, Xu Qingwan interrupted with some doubts: "Where did I say that I would reward you with money?"

"what?"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded for a moment: "Then, that's the silver ingot."

"This silver ingot is ten taels, and a room here costs three taels a day."

"We stayed for two days, that's six dollars."

Comrade Xiao Xu quickly settled the account clearly, and then stretched out his hand to share.

"Boss, you still want me ninety-two-four."

"."

Shopkeeper: "???"
