Dark Fairy

Chapter 274 Handle
Bailang closed the door at home and didn't think about it for too long.

The army wanted to recruit people from the sword shop, and this matter was too urgent for him to spend too much time on careful calculation.He had to report to the city lord's mansion on the day he got the news, otherwise it would be easy to give people a handle and attract unfavorable speculation about him.

Bailang's thoughts are very simple, he can't just fall to any side so easily.He didn't like to continue to be a chamber pot for the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't think it was the right thing to bet all his wealth and life on the army from now on.The best way is to sit on the wall, and fall to whichever side is stronger, but you can't get off easily when your feet are hooked on the wall.

Since the two sides don't deal with each other, Bailang, as a piece of duckweed in the middle, doesn't need much strength of his own to achieve the goal of being both sides.Of course, there are still some small means.And attitude is the most important kind of small means.

Less than two hours later, Bailang saw Feng Mingyuan again in the study in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.Before Feng Mingyuan could ask, he recounted what Chen Shen had told him at his home before.Including Chen Shenxu, he did not deliberately lose the position of deputy general of the partial battalion.

"How did you get back?"

"The younger one didn't reply to him." Bailang still told the truth.Then he added, "The army is recruiting people, and I also want to recruit swordsmen. This is not something I can answer. It is up to you, my lord, to make the decision."

Feng Mingyuan looked at the well-behaved and docile Bailang, and thought of something in his heart. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but it wasn't the real smile like before, but a bit chilly.

"You are the person involved, and Liu Jianyu sent someone to find you because he expected that your attitude is very important in this matter. What they want to recruit is useful people, not people who take away some waste or people who are slowing down. So I promise you a big profit, This is to help you relieve your worries. Are you really not tempted?"

"As the seat of the knife shop, Bailang has always been loyal to the lord, without any second thoughts! Please make the decision. No matter what, Bailang will obey the lord's order." Bailang knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and raised his voice to express his determination.

In fact, Bai Lang knew very well that whether he came or not would not change the fact that Feng Mingyuan could not refuse the military recruitment order.

Just kidding, what time is it now?The Pengshan Pass in the south has been broken.The Yunyan barbarian is about to go north, and all the focus of the entire Hong Dynasty will be unstoppably shifted towards the army, forming a joint force of the whole country to resist the aggression of the Yunyan army.At this time, the army ordered to recruit people, and whoever dares to stop will be beheaded!Even if the sword hall is being recruited, even if the sword hall has always been the power of the city lord's mansion in each city, so what?
So as long as Liu Jianyu officially opened his mouth to Feng Mingyuan, Feng Mingyuan couldn't refuse.This was Bailang's judgment.

Feng Mingyuan stood up from the chair, walked to Bai Lang, helped Bai Lang up, looked at him and said: "Bai Lang, you have to remember that Liu Jianyu recruits people, not the knife studio. And you are the master swordsman of the knife studio. , is also my person, Feng Mingyuan. No matter how the situation changes in the future, this fact cannot be changed. You and I have long been bound together by our origins and all kinds of secrets.

You can't live without me.

The military is now powerful, so it is understandable to avoid its edge.But you are not allowed to lose the location of the industrial park and the knife shop to me.Do you get me? "

"Little one understands! No matter what, little one will never forget that he is the sword master of the sword hall!" Bailang replied firmly.But there is his careful thought in words.

Feng Mingyuan nodded and seemed to have no reaction. He just patted Bai Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's good that you can remember your identity. In addition, you don't need to think too much about this matter for the time being. Go back first." Right. If there is a result at that time, I will call you over again."

"Yes! Resign, little one!" Bailang said as he bowed and exited Feng Mingyuan's study.It was Zhou Zhonghao who left Feng Mingyuan in the study and closed the door.

As soon as Bai Lang left, Feng Mingyuan smiled and sat back in his chair.

"Sure enough, it's hard to rely on this kind of half-way recruiter. Those who were obedient before, now they have a choice and their thoughts immediately float." Feng Mingyuan could see the reservation in Bailang's words just now.

"My lord, Bailang can't jump out of your palm. His small thoughts will be shattered by reality in a short time. Although he has a city and a clever mind, he is still not steady enough. Maybe you remind him this time, and he will go down." Can you figure out the taste yourself in the future?" Zhou Zhonghao also had a sullen face.But like Feng Mingyuan, he wasn't worried that Bailang could rebel against the City Lord's Mansion, because they still had the handle on Bailang.

Feng Mingyuan nodded. He agreed with Zhou Zhonghao's statement, and he also felt that it was impossible for Bailang to jump out of his palm.

"That's fine, Liu Jianyu was very blunt in dealing with the Liao family and the Xu family. Now that the Liao family and the Xu family are making so much trouble outside, he is still calm and calm, and he has no intention of helping those few people. This is the plan of an aristocratic family who suffered a big loss in the industrial park.

And the yamen of the Ministry of War in the capital, which has always liked to be a peacemaker, stood in the position of the army this time without prejudice, and Liu Jianyu's position was as solid as gold.From this point of view, not only Liu Jianyu's attitude is changing, but the direction of the entire military system is also changing.And it gets fast.

Do you think this incident against the sword shop could be a test by the Central Military Department Yamen against all established families? "

"What you say is not impossible."

"When trouble comes, individuals start to have their own ideas. But that's good, at least we can use Bailang to continue to firmly control the industrial park. And in the future, we can also use Bailang's change of identity to take Liu Jianyu Pull them in and block the front of the industrial park to avoid being harassed by dead rats like the Liao family and the Xu family.

At the same time, with this additional layer of identity, many things in the military can also be confirmed by Bailang.It's just that the income from the knife studio may be wasted in the future. "

"Not necessarily, the adults can make an integration.

Since Liu Jianyu is interested in the industrial park, we also hope to follow suit, so we will give Liu Jianyu the entire Dongcheng knife shop and leave the West city knife shop.

Then all the businesses that still have income are transferred to the Xicheng Knife Shop, and the rest of the businesses that have declined are left alone.In this way, the income will not be cut off completely, and some power of the knife shop can be left in hand.At the same time, he can "draw a clear line" with Bailang to calm Liu Jianyu's heart. "

Zhou Zhonghao gave his own thoughts.

Feng Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "That's right. Even if Liu Jianyu recruits people, he can't recruit all the people in the sword shop. According to the method you said, we can keep some people so that we won't be drained."

He did whatever he thought of, and Feng Mingyuan immediately began to work out the details with Zhou Zhonghao.

At the end, Feng Mingyuan added: "The foundations of those big crossbows and armor have to be solid. Now that Bailang is thrown out, there can be no problems with this handle. You have to ask yourself and review it frequently."

"Don't worry, sir. A solid foundation for the case has been made. Whenever necessary, a complete case file can be formed immediately. At that time, whether it is reported to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in the capital or to the Yuzhong Military Mansion, the results will definitely be immediate. As long as Bailang dares to act recklessly, life or death will only depend on your thoughts."
