Chapter 2093 People were tricked
"Oh my, that's a good idea!"
Chu Yao immediately gave his approval.
Jiang Mojue also agreed, "I think this is feasible, Senior Brother can arrange it."
Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Bai and asked curiously, "You know a lot, kid?"
Xiao Bai answered modestly, "Not really. It's mainly because I've seen it so many times. My brother-in-law usually coaxes my sister in this way, so naturally I learned a little bit."
Chu Yao suddenly came over at this time, stared at Xiao Bai for a while, and asked: "By the way, has the injury on your neck become more serious?"
Xiao Bai was surprised and shrank his neck. "Really?"
Chu Yao narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you get hurt on the left side last night? How come you got hurt on the right side too? There's even a bruise here! What's going on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the table fell into a strange silence.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
This trace... is quite intriguing!
Xiao Bai also realized something, subconsciously covered his neck, and said calmly: "This... There were mosquitoes in the hotel last night, and I got bitten. It's a bit itchy, and I accidentally scratched it."
Chu Yao slapped his thigh and muttered, "Damn mosquito, it bites so hard, it must be very big, right?"
"Yeah, it's very big."
Xiaobai responded vaguely, trying to hide something, and then stopped talking and obediently lowered his head to eat!
Throughout the whole process, Vincent ignored them.
We are all smart people and can see through it at a glance.
Lu Yanjue found it funny, but he didn't tease the little guy anymore.
As for the advice given by Xiaobai, he silently took note of it.
Chu Yao also changed the subject at the right time and said, "Li Han, the news is all saying good things about you, why didn't you try to clear yourself? Such a good opportunity is wasted like this? This is not like his style!
Given his personality, shouldn't he brag about himself? Otherwise, how can he sit on the throne of king?"
Lu Yanjue sneered and replied, "Then you are wrong. He is very smart. Revealing his identity himself will not achieve the best effect."
"How to say?"
Chu Yao was confused and didn't understand what the senior brother meant.
The people present were also a little confused.
Jiang Mojue hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Is he waiting for you to reveal his identity?"
Lu Yanjue nodded, "Obviously that's what it means."
Chu Yao also understood, "This guy actually has some intelligence and vision! He knows that he is an illegitimate child and cannot be shown in public, so he did not take the initiative to reveal it, otherwise, it would be like Wang Po bragging about melons!
But it’s different if it’s revealed by the senior brother. The senior brother’s reputation is high now. If he comes forward and says something casually, it’s better than him publishing countless news!”
So that's how it is. Everyone finally understood.
Based on their understanding of Li Han, they should at least say something good about themselves and seek benefits for them, but he did nothing.
This is a really good plan!
Jiang Mojue couldn't help but ask Lu Yanjue again, "Did you plan to nominate him from the beginning?"
Lu Yanjue did not deny it. “I do have that idea, but there is a prerequisite. He has to make those terms very clear and have some awareness of ‘active giving’.”
Chu Yao didn’t quite understand what the senior brother meant by his last words.
However, that very night, he quickly understood the truth of the matter.
As night fell, Li Han, who had been busy all day, finally finished his work at the base and came back to see Lu Yanjue.
He looked pale and seemed a little tired.
As soon as he entered the door, he placed a pile of things in his hands in front of Lu Yanjue.
Lu Yanjue sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. His simple and casual posture carried the domineering air of someone who had long been in a superior position.
He just glanced at it indifferently, without touching it or saying anything.
Chu Yao couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What is this?"
Li Han replied: "Everything Mr. Lu wants is here, including all the properties seized from your family, all the compensation to the Jiang and Zhou families, and all the losses!
In addition, I will give Miss Jiang Ruoli an additional manor in my own name, and finally this..."
He pulled out an exquisite box from his pocket, which contained a shining badge.
This badge represents the status of "Duke", the highest title for royal ministers, and represents extremely high honor and power.
"This is for you, too."
As he spoke, he bent down and placed the box on the table, explaining, "Mr. Lu is about to become a father. This status is a gift from the royal family. As long as you give birth to a son, he will automatically inherit the title of Duke when he is eighteen years old, and it will be valid forever. This is my promise, and this badge is the witness."
"Yo yo yo~"
Xiao Bai teased, "Why are you so generous this time? Before, when Brother Yan Jue was a count, you tried every means to drive him away. Now you are giving these things again. What do you mean?"
Vincent couldn't bear to see how his apprentice's IQ kept fluctuating.
He raised his hand and patted Xiao Bai's head, saying, "Just a little cleverness."
Xiao Bai looked at him in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
Vincent analyzed for him: "Isn't this easy to understand? In the news, he restored the reputation and honor for Mr. Lu and his family, but did not give them the badge of the title, which means that he only verbally restored the title of Mr. Lu and his father, but did not give them real power.
But he was afraid of angering Mr. Lu, so he gave the badge to his son. At this moment, the little guy was not even born yet, not to mention, what if it was a daughter? It would have to be delayed for so many years.
The 18-year agreement, when that time comes, Mr. Lu's children will have grown up, and he will have completely taken control of the imperial power of Country G. What will he still have to fear?"
Xiao Bai suddenly realized what was going on and immediately commented, "What a cunning person! I was wondering why he was so generous. Turns out he had ulterior motives!"
Li Han didn't expect that the solution he had finally come up with was revealed by him in just this way.
I have to say that the people around Lu Yanjue are all really smart.
But, just say it, can you please not play crickets in front of others?
This is embarrassing, okay?
Moreover, after being exposed, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't even stand.
He looked at Lu Yanjue, his heart beating fast, and his hands unconsciously grabbed his trouser legs.
Worried...if he did this, it would really anger Lu Yanjue.
He had to say something. If he waited, the situation would be different.
So, he mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth, and said, "This is the greatest sincerity I can give you, please accept it, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yanjue was quite satisfied with Li Han's behavior and attitude.
I have to admit that this guy does have a certain amount of wisdom and insight.
He knew what he cared about and valued: Ruoli and the baby in her belly.
The manor gave him a wife, the duke's badge, and his children. These were gifts to his heart's content and there was no way to find fault with them.
The most important thing is that he behaved well throughout the whole process and didn't play any tricks.
This changed his opinion of Li Han and he thought that this man could still be saved.
Lu Yanjue didn't want to waste too much time on this matter, so he said to Li Han directly: "Since you have met my requirements, I will do as you wish and help you prove your identity, and even let you take over."
He paused and kindly reminded, “But Li Han, you have to understand that the position of king is not as easy as you think. You didn’t want my power to surpass that of the royal family before, so I will satisfy you.
Next, I will take back all the rules and personnel of the Punishment Hall, because I founded and developed this force myself."
Lu Yanjue is not a person who likes to take advantage of others, nor is he a person who likes to suffer losses. He does not want other people's things, and he will never allow others to take his own things for their own use.
When Li Han heard this, his expression changed slightly and he wanted to say something.
The status of the Punishment Hall is extraordinary in the royal family. Its existence is an invisible deterrent force, which is not only useful to royal family members, but also to ministers, the outside world, and even foreign countries... It is well-known and has a huge influence.
He knew very well that the source of this deterrent power was the elite personnel within the Punishment Hall who had been trained at great expense.
If all these personnel were withdrawn now, the existence of the Punishment Hall would be like an empty shell, losing its due function and majesty.
What’s the point of having a decoration?
However, when the words came to his lips, Li Han didn't say them.
Therefore, he came to a conclusion that the best way was to cultivate a force that belonged entirely to him and used it for his own purposes.
Only those who are completely loyal to themselves can become their most reliable helpers at critical moments.
In this way, he can feel completely at ease and sit on the throne of the royal family.
After careful consideration, Li Han finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree."
But Lu Yanjue hadn't finished speaking yet, and added: "There are also royal guards, some of whom are my people, and I will also transfer them away. You need to train and educate those guards again. Do you have any objections?"
Li Han felt bitter in his heart, so how could he dare to have any opinions?
He gritted his teeth and replied, "That's natural. I agree with it all."
The guards within the royal family accompanied him in almost every aspect of his daily life. He knew that he had to use his own people to feel at ease.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Yanjue had nothing to say, "Very good, now that everything has been agreed upon, all previous grudges are written off!
I will explain your identity later, oh!"
At this point, he seemed to remember something, "Oh, there's one more thing..."
Li Han's heart almost collapsed.
Why isn’t it over yet?
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard him say that it was all written off. I thought he wouldn't make any excessive demands again.
He was so exhausted from being cheated that he suddenly became nervous again and asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything else?"
