Chapter 584: Surrender and Lose Half
Guan Laowu has always been a man without his own opinion.
Otherwise, how could he be dragged onto the boat just because of Guan Lao San's casual words?
At this moment, Guan Lao San asked Guan Lao Wu, asking the blind man.
"Third brother, how about you ask Old Seven?"
Guan Laowu shook his head for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him.
In the past, whenever there was something going on in their village, it was Guan Laoqi who took the lead and made the decision. Over time, Guan Laowu got used to going to Guan Laoqi whenever there was something going on.
If it weren't for the fact that Guan Laosan had promised such a good deal before, Guan Laowu would have been worried that Guan Laoqi would not agree, and he would have told Guan Laoqi about this matter long ago.
When Guan Laosan heard Guan Laowu's answer, he suddenly felt like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey. He actually thought of asking Guan Laowu to help him get a charter.
"Just shut up!"
Guan Laosan glared at Guan Laowu unhappily.
If this matter could be asked from Guan Laoqi, why would he need to ask Guan Laowu?
"Guan Lao San, you've already come this far. Do you think that if you stop now, others will just let you go?"
"If I were you, I would stick to it."
Seeing Guan Lao San's expression, Nanny Yang spoke again, "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both wise. You have made great contributions to the court. How could they possibly abandon you?"
"Such a simple plot to sow discord is obvious to anyone who isn't a fool."
"Yang Lao San, if you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences!"
Nanny Yang spoke one after another, each word coherently.
During this process, Old Lady Xu did not interrupt at all, but let Nanny Yang fool around. After Nanny Yang finished speaking, Old Lady Xu said something indifferently.
"Madam Yang, are you saying all this to cover up your guilty conscience?"
"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense!"
When Madam Xu pointed out her worries, Madam Yang denied them three times in a row.
Old Madam Xu chuckled and said, "Guan Lao San, you're not young anymore. I think you should be able to figure out what Nanny Yang's behavior means!"
"This liar, once exposed, will just keep denying it!"
It's such a simple truth that even if Old Lady Xu didn't say it, Old Third Guan would understand it.
The purpose of betrayal is to gain wealth and glory, and to bring honor to the family.
But now, everything is in vain.
He was a joke from beginning to end and was being played like a fool.
Seeing Guan Lao San's expression change, Nanny Yang felt like she was in a state of panic. She wanted to reassure Guan Lao San and make him stand firmly on her side. But a simple hypothetical situation proposed by Old Lady Xu completely confused Guan Lao San.
People are very realistic.
No matter whether it is the emperor or the common people, when faced with a choice, they will consider it from a self-interested perspective.
To the emperor, Mr. Xu, the Marquis of Wucheng, is definitely more valuable than him, Guan Lao San.
Guan Lao San knew very well what the emperor would do to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty. As for the empress dowager, as the emperor's mother, what would she do if the emperor's throne was in jeopardy?
The silent Guan Lao San became more and more convinced that he was a fool.
He had a good life but insisted on making trouble, and as a result, the good life became further and further away from him.
"We can't go on like this!"
Nanny Yang was also a little anxious.
If she allowed Guan Lao San to indulge in her wild thoughts, he would eventually part ways with her. When that happened, she would have no cards in her hand and would be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Guan Lao San, you are already like this now, what are you still hesitating about?"
"Believe me, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely protect you!"
"Just shut up!"
Guan Lao San was not a three-year-old child who knew nothing. When he heard Yang Mama talking again, he roared in response. At this time, Guan Lao San hated Yang Mama in his heart.
If it weren't for Nanny Yang fooling him, how could he have fallen into such a dilemma?
"what to do?"
"What should I do?"
Guan Laosan was thinking and pondering anxiously.
He didn't want to sit and wait for death, he wanted to break the deadlock.
Even if you can't become successful, you must at least keep everything you have now.
"Third brother, how about we release Old Seven and Brother Yue and the others?"
"We were indeed wrong before, but if we admit our mistakes now, there's still time for everything!"
Guan Laowu was also thinking about a solution, and the solution he came up with was to surrender and lose half.
Guan Laosan had thought about admitting defeat and admitting his mistake.
The reason why he dared to do this was that he thought that even if it failed, as long as there were no casualties, he would most likely be able to save his life.
But at this point, Guan Lao San still felt a little unwilling to give up instead of fighting one last time.
"Third brother, don't hesitate!"
At this moment, Guan Laowu had his own opinion.
If they surrender and admit defeat, with their relationship with the Xu family and with Guan Lao Qi's mediation, they shouldn't have any trouble.
"All right!"
Guan Laosan noticed the expressions of several of his fellow tribesmen who followed him, and realized that his situation was hopeless.
So, this group of people quickly helped to untie Guan Laoqi, Yue Laoye and others.
And those old people who had scolded Guan Laosan before but were scared away by Guan Laosan's harsh words now jumped out again and started to denounce Guan Laosan in various ways.
Faced with these people's targeting and condemnation, Guan Laosan knelt obediently on the ground and admitted his mistakes with a very sincere attitude.
Seeing Guan Lao San like this, those who were condemning him were unable to continue speaking.
When Madam Yang saw that the situation was hopeless, she immediately bit the poisoned naan hidden in her tooth and died on the spot.
But before she died, Nanny Yang did not forget to curse everyone.
However, at this time, no one really took Yang Ma's curse seriously.
Because the most important thing right now is how to deal with Guan Lao San and his gang.
"Brother Yue, what do you think we should do about this?"
Guan Laoqi is really in trouble now.
Old Master Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh Brother, it's useless for you to ask me about this matter. You should ask the Xu family's younger sister-in-law!"
"I have no face!"
Guan Laoqi said with a bitter face, "Brother Yue, how about you come with me?"
“…”
Old Master Yue stared at Guan Laoqi and remained silent for a long time.
His attitude made Guan Laoqi feel uneasy and he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Old Master Yue sighed and said, "Seventh Brother, it's not impossible for you to let me accompany you on this matter. But you have to tell me what you think first, right?"
This is the key issue!
Old Master Yue was a sensible man, and he knew that he was dragged along by Guan Laoqi to act as a lobbyist. However, even if he was acting as a lobbyist, he at least had to know what he should say.
