A knife in love

Chapter 1545

After Liu Sheng Zongyan finished speaking, he picked up the oil-paper umbrella with his left hand, stroked the umbrella handle with his right hand, and then said, "Young Xia Li, if the old man knew earlier that you had arrived in Dongliao County and brought that thing with you, you would have to go to Fusang to do it." You don’t need to ask Island Master Gao for help with big deals. You might as well just tell Shaoxia Li that as long as you agree to do this deal with me, I’ve prepared 20 taels of silver for you, and you can give it to me at any time!”

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Qi Jiu were all terrified when they heard what Liu Shengzongyan said. They thought to themselves that this old thief was so generous that he took out 20 taels of silver all at once.Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu both work in the government and know many official rules.At that time, 5000 taels of silver was enough to manage a hundred households up and down.If you are a Jinshi, you can spend 5 taels of silver to buy off officials from the Ministry of Officials, and you can become a magistrate in a wealthy place.If you find the right way, you can ask the help of six ministers or university scholars, and it is not difficult to exchange 10 taels of silver for a governor.It's just that he didn't know what Liu Sheng Zongyan wanted to get, but he was willing to offer 20 taels of silver to bribe Li Qiufeng.

Seeing Li Qiufeng's silence, Liu Sheng Zongyan continued, "Young Xia Li, I know how many people you have brought with you on this trip. If you want to make this deal, these people are indispensable. They are willing to work with you. There must be extremely harsh conditions. As for what these conditions are, the old man has no intention of knowing. It's just that in addition to Li Shaoxia's 20 taels of silver, the old man also prepared 10 taels of silver for those few people, and they will divide it up. As for each How much you deserve is naturally decided by Li Shaoxia."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "If Shaoxia Li thinks that they have given them a lot, and give them 5 taels, these people should be satisfied."

The more Li Qiufeng heard it, the more frightened he became, but he was also more careful, for fear that he would be careless for a moment, and if Liu Sheng Zongyan found out that he had no idea what he was going to get, he was afraid that this old thief would turn his back on him immediately.The most important thing right now is to deal with this old thief carefully, if he can tell what is hidden on the big ship, that would be the best.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng pretended to be surprised, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Liu Sheng, you are willing to take out 30 taels of silver. I think you are determined to get that thing."

Liu Sheng Zongyan chuckled, and said: "It's about the life and death of my Liu Sheng family. I don't hesitate to spend as much money as I want. If Shaoxia Li can have some compassion and give this thing to this old man, this old man will definitely be grateful. If it will be useful to the old man in the future, Li Shaoxia can just say it."

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu Sheng is willing to spend so much money because he really wants to make this deal. However, this matter is of great importance, and it is not up to Li to decide."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Liu Sheng Zongyan interjected, "Of course this old man knows. The officials and principals of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, etc. will naturally have a share. The money and gifts for the adults have already been prepared by the old man. After the matter is completed , will definitely not make it difficult for Li Shaoxia in front of the adults in the capital."

Li Qiufeng said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Liu Sheng. However, Li's companions on this trip have put in a lot of effort. Moreover, they have many connections with court officials. If there are casualties, Li will be considered to have received the money. I'm afraid I don't have the life to enjoy it."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued: "I don't know if Li's companions are safe or not?"

Liu Sheng Zongyan laughed, and said: "Don't worry about Li Shaoxia, the old man is always careful when doing things, if you don't see blood, you won't see blood. Everyone who is with Li Shaoxia is living well. If Li Shaoxia agrees to do this business with this old man, You can meet them anytime."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "However, there is a friend named Yin among them. When we invited him here, for some reason, his ears disappeared. It is definitely not us. Li Shaoxia must be aware of the injury."

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "Mr. Liu Sheng, if Li's guess is correct, you didn't know that we were going to Fusang for business. Later, you sent people to steal the big boat and captured Yin who stayed on the boat to recuperate. Shopkeeper, force him to tell where he is going. Shopkeeper Yin is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he said that he is going to Fusang country to do business, which reveals the purpose of our trip. Is it right?"

Liu Sheng Zongyan shook his head, and said: "Young Xia Li, you have wronged your friend named Yin. Although this man has no skills, he can be regarded as a tough guy. I personally asked him what he was doing in Liaodong, but he refused to say anything. Later, the old man resorted to tricks. Although he said he was going to Fusang country, he insisted that the person in charge of this trip was a small official surnamed Xiao. If the old man and Li Shaoxia were not old friends, I am afraid that he would really have concealed it. Afterwards, the old man also caught the little official surnamed Xiao. He was quite honest, and without much effort, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told the old man the truth. How could Li Shaoxia, who is the honor of a hundred households in Jin Yiwei, be named Xiao under his command?"

Hearing Liu Shengzongyan's words, Li Qiufeng's heart brightened, thinking that the Japanese pirates stole the big ship, and the shopkeeper Yin who stayed on the ship to recuperate naturally fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates.Liu Sheng Zongyan said that shopkeeper Yin is a tough guy, because he thought he was the one who went to Fusang to do this business.Therefore, shopkeeper Yin said that Xiao Dong was the leader, but Liu Sheng Zongyan naturally didn't believe it.The old thief said that he used some tricks, and it was supposed to be torture. Shopkeeper Yin must have suffered a lot.Later, Xiao Dong was captured by Shinobu Morita in Wangjiazhuang, and escorted to Liu Sheng Zongyan.Xiao Dong was extremely cunning, when he was interrogated by Liu Sheng Zongyan, he heard Liu Sheng Zongyan ask who was the leader of this trip, he looked at his face and guessed that Liu Sheng Zongyan wanted to know if he was the leader, so he put everything together Everything is pushed on him.Xiao Dong is so cunning, he and Liu Sheng Zongyan had a bright moment.The two are intrigues and intrigues, and they are extremely difficult characters to deal with.I have to be extra careful when dealing with the two big traitors.

I just heard Liu Sheng Zongyan say: "This old man knows that Shaoxia Li is the person in charge, and he is overjoyed. No matter what, we can be regarded as old friends, and there is no need to hide what we say or do. As long as Shaoxia Li agrees to give things to the old man, the old man Naturally, the big boat will be returned to Li Shaoxia, and the money and all kinds of gifts will also be moved on board. If Li Shaoxia is interested in official career, it is not too difficult to buy a prefect and governor with this money. If Mr. Li can trust me, I will There are also many friends in the official circles of the capital. As long as the old man writes a letter, Mr. Li will take it. The old man dare not say that it is not difficult to be the master of one of the six departments. If Mr. Li has no intention of official career, take this Wouldn't it be great for Yinzi to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy land and land, and become a rich and carefree man?"
