Wang Dengku looked at Agutai with a hesitant expression on his face.
This matter is really too big. Should I give up everything I have accumulated and run to the Jiannu?
He said he would reuse me, but who knows what the situation will be like?
He was originally from the Ming Dynasty, so if he went to the Jiannu, he would probably be ostracized. Although he claimed to have made contributions, what kind of contributions were they? It was nothing more than business.
If you go to the Jiannu, you might even have to hand over your money. You might even lose your life for money.
But if Wang Dengku continues to stay in Zhangjiakou, his fate may not be any better.
If the emperor arrested him, he would most likely confiscate his property and exterminate his entire clan. At that point, not only would he lose his money, he might even lose his life, which was not the outcome Wang Dengku wanted.
In this situation, what should Wang Dengku choose?
Whether to go to the Jiannu or continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dengku needs to think carefully.
Agutai looked at Wang Dengku's troubled expression and did not urge him.
This matter was of grave importance. If he showed any enthusiasm, it would only make Wang Dengku more afraid. All he had to do was explain the situation clearly to Wang Dengku, present the facts, and reason with him. The rest was up to Wang Dengku to figure out.
The specific situation was not something he could decide. This matter was crucial, and it affected whether he could leave here alive.
Agutai had thought about every node, even how Wang Dengku would react. He had already prepared a corresponding strategy. Even if Wang Dengku didn't go with him, he would stay.
Sometimes people just need a little hope. After all, no one knows what the final outcome will be. For this little bit of hope, Wang Dengku would not take Agutai's life.
"Okay, this is what happened. Think about it carefully." Wang Dengku looked at Agutai and said directly.
"That's how it is this time. There's no point in talking about it any further." After saying this, Agutai stood up, turned around and walked out.
After Agutai left, Wang Dengku still sat there without moving.
After a while, a man came out from behind. He was in his thirties, with straightforward eyes, a square mouth and a handsome face.
He glanced at Wang Dengku and said respectfully, "Father, the person has left and has not brought anyone else with him. There is no ambush around."
Wang Dengku raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, it was his son.
Wang Dengku values this son very much. He has been raising him personally since he was a child so that he can take over his business in the future.
This time the matter was so important that he brought his son out as well.
Glancing at his son, Wang Dengku gently asked, "What do you think of this incident? Is what that man named Agutai said true?"
"I'm still not sure." Wang Dengku's son said: "It's possible that he was just talking nonsense to save his life, or it could be true."
Wang Dengku nodded and asked in agreement: "If what he said is true, then what should we do?"
"Separate," Wang Dengku's son said solemnly, "If what he said is true, then things will be troublesome. We can't stay together, otherwise no matter which side we end up on, the outcome may not be good."
After glancing at his son, Wang Dengku thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about it in detail."
"Some people will follow Agutai to Jiannu, and some will stay in Ming. If both sides are fine, they will naturally be able to communicate with each other, and those who stay in Jiannu will also be given important positions. After all, Ming is there to help."
"If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, those who remain with the Jiannu can leave behind a legacy, which is equivalent to establishing a grudge against the Ming Dynasty. At that time, life will be much easier with the Jiannu, and they will gain more trust. And when you leave, you won't have to take too much property and money with you, lest they covet you. You can just survive there with your wits. Everyone in our family is capable, and we will definitely do better there."
"What if both sides are destroyed?" Wang Dengku looked at his son and said directly with some concern.
"That won't happen." Wang Dengku's son shook his head and said firmly, "If the Ming Dynasty is gone, the Jiannu will definitely not kill us. We are horse bones, and they want to use our familiarity with the Ming Dynasty to do business."
"You know, if this is true, Zhangjiakou might not be able to do business anymore. At that time, we'll need to open up new trade routes, and our Wang family will naturally be able to be used. As long as we don't all join the Jiannu, they won't be able to control us."
"Are you going?" Wang Dengku looked at his son and asked directly.
"Father goes, and I stay." Wang Dengku's son thought for a moment and said, "You can take the third child with you. As for the family, I will leave it to you. I will definitely not let you down."
Looking at his son, Wang Dengku stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to be so reserved. At this point, what can't be said between father and son?"
In fact, if a person is narrow-minded, he may think that his son wants to drive him away and take over his family business.
But Wang Dengku knew his son wouldn't do that. The reason his son asked him to take the third child away was simply to save his own life. His son was not optimistic about the situation in the Ming Dynasty and obviously believed that what Agutai said was true.
"You should go." Wang Dengku looked at his son and said with great satisfaction, "Your wisdom is enough to handle the situation over there. If it's true, your father might not be able to leave."
