Ye Xiaotian's face darkened as he said, "Letting you go is already the greatest benefit I can give you! Don't forget, if negotiations fail, this official and the young master of the Zhang family, as well as your third and fourth uncles, can join hands and put you to death again! "
Yu Junting stared at him with her large eyes, not saying a word. Although she did not say a single word, her large eyes seemed to be saying a lot, but no one could read what she was saying to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian naturally understood, so he constantly warned himself, "I can't be softhearted, I can't give in! This woman, if you give in a step, she will take ten steps forward. Her pitiful appearance is all an act, you can't be fooled by this little fox! "
Ye Xiaotian roused himself and continued to act mighty, asking in a deep voice, "What, does County Supervisor Yu have an opinion?"
Yu Junting stubbornly said, "If you want me to come forward, then you have to give me benefits!"
Zhang Yutong couldn't help but angrily say, "What do you want?"
Yu Junting slightly raised her chin, "Since your Zhang family can divide their territory to Yong Ni and Agaja Chi Er's families to settle the matter, then you should also divide a piece of territory for my Yu family."
Zhang Yutong flew into a rage and jumped up, "In your dreams, don't even think about it!"
Zhang Yutong turned to Ye Xiaotian and begged for help, "Lord Ye, look, my Zhang family has already agreed to give their territory to Yong Ni and Agaja Chi Er in order to settle the matter, but she still wants a piece of the pie. If that's the case, then I'd rather not negotiate. At worst, I'll just fight to the death!"
Yu Junting also jumped up and sneered, "Good, that's exactly what I'm looking for! When Yong Ni and Agaja Chi Er's families attack Tong Ren and seek revenge for their chieftain, I'll sit on the side and watch the show. It's just that I don't know if Lord Ye, who you're clinging to, will be willing to use his own troops to fight against Yong Ni and Agaja Chi Er's families to protect you! "
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Ye Xiaotian felt a headache coming on. Balance was indeed the best way to control others, but at the same time, one had to be a competent mediator.
Ye Xiaotian said helplessly, "Governor Yu, the Zhang clan has already suffered a great blow. There's no way we'll give you any more land. Otherwise, the young master of the Zhang clan will find it hard to explain to his clansmen.
Yu Junting said, "If that's the case, then I won't be a lobbyist!"
Before Ye Xiaotian could glare at her angrily, Yu Junting had already confidently said, "Yong Ni and Agachir were originally my allies. They were lured to death. Not only can I not avenge them, but I also have to convince their families to give up on revenge. Wouldn't that incur the disdain of the other chieftains? The loss of prestige cannot be measured with money. Shouldn't I ask for compensation?"
Yu Junting angrily glared at Ye Xiaotian. She was naturally the best candidate to convince the Yongni and Agachir clans. Although the two families were angry that their patriarchs had been killed, they couldn't bring themselves to sacrifice their entire families for the sake of revenge. Originally, even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for the Zhang family. But now, the Zhang family had the colossus of Shan Miao as their backer.
It was easy to imagine that as long as Ye Xiaotian appeared, the two families would most likely come to their senses and accept giving up their entire families for the sake of revenge. It was easy to imagine that as long as Ye Xiaotian appeared, the two great clans would most likely come to their senses and accept the offer of land, which was a ladder to climb down the wall, and give up with dignity.
But Ye Xiaotian insisted on her lobbying. Because almost all of the Tongren tribe leaders had close relationships with the Yu family. As long as she agreed to persuade them, she would definitely incur the disgust and disdain of some of the tribe leaders. Ye Xiaotian was destroying her foundation. This was because almost all of the tribe leaders in Tongren had a close relationship with the Yu family. As long as she agreed to be a lobbyist, she would definitely incur the disgust and disdain of some of the tribe leaders. Ye Xiaotian was destroying her foundation.
Yu Junting glared at Ye Xiaotian, gnashing her teeth in hatred. "Why didn't I realize that he was such a heartless fellow before? He squeezes me at night and squeezes me during the day. He won't be satisfied until he squeezes me dry, right? "
Ye Xiaotian muttered to himself. Yu Junting's reasoning wasn't unreasonable. He turned to Zhang Yutong and said, "Young Master of the Zhang family, County Supervisor Yu's words aren't unreasonable. Can you … give us some compensation?"
Zhang Yutong resolutely said, "You want me to give up my land to the people? Absolutely not!" He paused, then reluctantly said, "Forget it! I'll give you one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand bolts of colored satin, and one thousand five hundred cows! I won't accept any more than that! "
Ye Xiaotian looked at Yu Junting and said in a serious tone, "Yu, Jian, Zhou! What do you think? "
Yu Junting, who was originally aggressive, gathered her sleeves like she was gathering her skirt. She sat down lightly and said nonchalantly, "Alright then! I'll send people to collect them. After I've collected everything, I'll go to the Yong family and Agachir family to convince their managers! "
Ye Xiaotian heaved a sigh of relief. With this matter settled, Tongren could be considered to have settled down. The big powers in the outside world had lost their reason to interfere. Ye Xiaotian said, "Alright! Now, it's time to talk about the conditions I want … "
…
The difficult negotiations finally came to an end after endless quarrels and haggling over the smallest details. Some concrete things had not been discussed, but the main parts had been agreed upon. All parties could start to deal with the aftermath at the same time.
Zhang Yuhan hurriedly left with Zhang Yi and the others. The former ruler of Tongren now had to live by Ye Xiaotian's whims. They had not yet adapted to this change and felt uncomfortable staying here.
Yu Junting did not leave. Instead, she chased after Ye Xiaotian from the main hall to the small hall. The servant girl had just left after serving tea when the smiling Ye Xiaotian and the cultured and refined Yu Junting, who was sitting in the guest seat, both put down their teacups and jumped up at the same time.
"Damned girl, what did I say to you yesterday? You clearly agreed, but today you changed your mind and raised conditions!"
"Surnamed Ye, what exactly do you mean! Yesterday you didn't say you wanted me to be a lobbyist! Also, my Third and Fourth Uncles are now sitting there openly. How do you expect me to convince the masses in the future? "
The two of them retorted at the same time and were both startled.
Ye Xiaotian immediately rushed to defend himself. "Didn't I ask you to be a lobbyist to settle the dispute as quickly as possible? Do I need to tell you this in advance? You have such a close relationship with the Yongni and Agachir families. If you don't go, who will? "
Yu Junting angrily said, "If I go, won't the other chieftains look down on me? You just don't want to see me do well! You have no conscience. You bully your own woman like this. Are you still a man? Also, don't avoid talking about it! What's the matter with my Third and Fourth Uncles? I've already demoted them to commoners. They are no longer chieftains. Why did you call them here? Aren't you deliberately trying to undermine me? "
Ye Xiaotian laughed coldly and said bluntly, "That's right! I want them to drag you down, trip you, and keep an eye on you! Is this what you mean when you say that the way of a ruler lies in checks and balances? You're too cunning. I don't trust you. I'll use them to restrain you so you won't think too much! "
Yu Junting said angrily, "Alright, surnamed Ye. You're simply pulling up your pants and refusing to recognize me! I … I'll fight it out with you! "
Yu Junting raised her hand to strike, but Ye Xiaotian grabbed her wrist and said, "You still dare to fight me? Where did your wit and resourcefulness go? Do you think it's appropriate to deal with them now? Right now, we need them to settle the storm as quickly as possible. When the dust settles, you can slowly deal with them. I won't interfere! "
Yu Junting said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You used the Zhang family to restrain me and forced me to be a lobbyist to drive a wedge between me and the other chieftains. I've endured all of this, but the Yu family definitely can't allow these two poisonous snakes to spy on us! "
Ye Xiaotian said, "It's done, it's done. It's not good to complicate matters right now. Once my identity is confirmed by the imperial court, I'll help you deal with those two old fellows, okay? "
"No! I've clearly already dealt with them. You were the one who let them out. You're the one who caused this trouble. Go and settle it for me right now! "
"Right now, stability is the most important. Wait until I confirm my identity!"
"No! You have to … "
Ye Xiaotian grabbed her wrist and twisted it, putting her arm behind her back and pressing it down. Yu Junting leaned over the table. Ye Xiaotian raised his left hand and gave her firm and perky buttocks a few slaps. The slaps were so solid that it felt like porcelain.
Yu Junting angrily shouted, "Why did you hit me?"
Ye Xiaotian said with a straight face, "Who told you to speak to me so rudely? In private, you're a female slave, have you forgotten? A little slave actually dares to speak to her master like this. You have no manners! Are you rebelling? "
Yu Junting said angrily, "How can you be so unreasonable …"
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and hit her again, "You promised me, and now you're trying to reason with me? I'll hit you, I'll hit you! In any case, as long as there's no one else around, you have to obediently be a slave. If you dare to resist … "
Yu Junting's buttocks were burning and numb from his spanking. She struggled to break free and ran to the side with a red face. She covered her buttocks and said in a flustered and exasperated manner, "You can't bully people like this. I'm talking to you as a Chieftain of the Yu Family …"
Ye Xiaotian shook his hand and walked over. He sneered and said, "You want to talk business with me, right? If you want to talk business, let's talk in public. This Ye has nothing to hide from others about business, so why do we have to talk in a private room? Why are you running? "
Yu Junting covered her buttocks and stepped back. She said with a red face, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "I want to spank the little slave's buttocks. Haha, it feels so good. I like it! Come, come, don't hide. You have to keep your promise and come here quickly! "
"You're wretched, dirty, vulgar, shameless, disgusting … I … I still have something to do …"
Yu Junting ran away. Ye Xiaotian laughed loudly. Yu Junting fled to the corridor. Seeing that Ye Xiaotian didn't chase after her and only heard the laughter coming from the living room, she stamped her feet angrily and said angrily, "Bastard, bastard, what a big bastard!"
Li Qiuchi and Su Xuntian walked side by side. Seeing that she was so shy, they couldn't help looking at her curiously.
"What are you looking at? I'll dig out your eyes! "
Yu Junting was fierce. She was like an angry Persian cat, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at them. Seeing this scene, Su Xuntian was at a loss, while Li Qiuchi was thoughtful. Yu Junting saw that Li Qiuchi seemed to understand something. She suddenly felt ashamed. She immediately flicked her sleeves and ran away.
As Yu Junting ran away, she swore angrily in her heart, "Ye, you bullied and humiliated me like this. In the future, I will take revenge on your son a thousand times. If I don't spank his buttocks, I will change my surname to Er!"
