Kai Fu Han

Chapter 161 Sending Letters
"First tell me why you are looking for trouble?"

Even if ordinary people can hold their breath for about a minute, this guy couldn't even hold his breath for half a minute, so he was scared to death.

Liu Xinqi finally saw that this person was a big idiot, so he stopped imposing additional punishment on him and asked directly.

"I just like those of you, honey, and I have evil intentions and want to take them for myself."

There was a cry in his tone of voice:

"I know I was wrong. Sirs, please spare me for once. I will make amends even if I lose my fortune."

Liu Xinqi was angry and funny.

A good trade was disrupted by such a coward. What a rat excrement that ruined a good pot of soup.

There are always these people in the world, who fail more than succeed and fail more than they succeed. Instead of producing, they always want to destroy.

"You're talking loudly. Do you know how much the goods on my ship are worth? Just ask for compensation. Can you afford it?"

As he spoke, Liu Xinqi slapped him on the head.

"Ah!" Wang Hao exclaimed in pain:
"Yes, yes, I can afford to pay compensation. My father is from the royal family of Goryeo. He has real power. Surely he can afford to pay compensation?"

Liu Xinqi asked after listening to Cui Wu's translation.

"Oh? What real power does your father have?"

"My father is in charge of the garrison in Kaijing. My family also has a large amount of salary and Gongyin firewood. Every year, just to collect rent, there are a lot of people coming to the city. There are also a lot of shops in the city. As long as you don't kill me, let me I'll write a letter to my family and I'll definitely be able to afford the compensation."

After the founding of Goryeo, all the cultivated land and mountains and forests in the country were nationalized, and then some of the land and mountains were distributed to civil and military officials and soldiers according to grade, called "Tian Chai Ke".Tian refers to cultivated land, firewood refers to firewood forest, and Ke refers to the rank of officials.Gongyin Tianchai is a hereditary land given to meritorious officials and surrendered wealthy families. Later, it gradually developed that officials above the fifth rank would reward Gongyin Tianchai.

Being able to serve as a source of firewood shows that Wang Hao's father's official position is at least fifth grade. The more officials there are, the greater the official position.

But Wang Hao didn't know the true value of the goods on the dozens of ships of the Xinghan League. An official of the small country of Goryeo, even a noble, would definitely not be able to afford the compensation.

However, Liu Xinqi saw a turn for the better when he heard that his father was the official in charge of the garrison in the capital of Goryeo.

He knelt down, approached Wang Hao, and said:

"Actually, we are really just here for trade. If you hadn't made a fool of yourself and come here to make trouble, things wouldn't have developed to this point. But you still have a chance to survive. Write a letter to your father and ask him to move us out of the capital. The matter is suppressed so that we can continue to trade here, and you will not be in danger of your life by then, and the compensation can be put aside for later."

"Understand?"

Wang Hao nodded quickly: "I understand! I understand!"

This time it was in Chinese.

"Crack!" Liu Xinqi slapped him on the face again.

"You are dishonest. You can speak Chinese, but you have always spoken Korean before."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The force was too strong and Wang Hao cried when he was slapped.

"I was so scared just now that I didn't realize it. Don't hit me again. I will be honest later."

During the Goryeo Dynasty, most nobles and officials could actually speak Chinese, and the characters used by civil servants were also Chinese characters.Only civilians speak Korean.

Goryeo is a country deeply influenced by Confucianism. Confucianism exists in Goryeo as the guiding ideology for governing the country. The imperial examination also lists Confucian classics as examination subjects, although it only focuses on the study of poems and chapters.

But this has also formed a social trend that "being able to speak Chinese means you are noble".

"Untie him and let him write."

Cui Wu stepped forward to untie him, just as Jiao Rui passed the paper left over from the torture to Wang Hao, Wang Hao's hand trembling when he took the paper, probably because he had a psychological shadow on the paper.Then let someone take the pen and ink and hand it to him.

Wang Hao held the pen in his hand, but couldn't write. He said with a sad face: "I don't know what to write."

He seemed frightened.

"I said, you write." Jiao Rui stepped forward to guide.

Let him state in the letter that he is fine, and then briefly explain the origin and development of this farce, and finally attach several requirements of the Xinghan League.There are four main items:

The first is to calm down the situation and continue to develop.

The second is to restore the normal trade of Xinghan League in Kaijing.

Third, merchants in the city must not be prevented from going out of the city to do business with the Xinghan League.

The fourth is about the Wang family's compensation for the losses and casualties of the Xinghan League in this incident.

Promise that as long as the Wang family meets these requirements, the Xinghan League will return Wang Hao before returning.

The conflict in Kaijing resulted in two deaths and seventeen injuries among soldiers who went to the city to display their goods. Liu Xinqi really wanted to kill this idiot Wang Hao with a knife.

But in the end, I chose to focus on the overall situation.

The establishment of stable trade in the capital of Goryeo is very important for the development of the Xinghan League, and it can only be compensated in other ways.

"I hope your status in your family is high enough that your father is willing to make peace and compensate you for your life, otherwise I guarantee that you will not survive tomorrow morning."

Liu Xinqi threatened Wang Hao.

"Then if you bring these two tokens, my father will definitely believe it."

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he took off the jade pendant on his waist and a gold ornament hanging around his neck, and handed them to Liu Xinqi.

Liu Xinqi gave these two things to Cui Wu, then asked the location of Wang Hao's house, and asked Cui Wu to get off the boat to deliver the letter.

"Safety comes first. If you find that something is wrong, escape for your own life. If you can return to the ship, come back. If you can't, then lurk in Goryeo and wait for us to attack again."

"Yes! Leader! I will definitely deliver the letter."

Cui Wu replied solemnly.

Seeing Cui Wu's sampan docking, Liu Xinqi returned to the cabin and attached military commander cards to the two seriously injured soldiers to ensure their safety.

Liu Xinqi now has only nine unused general cards in his hand, including four with two stars, three with three stars, and two with four stars.

"There's only half a year until the end of the year. This general card is really useless."

Liu Xinqi muttered secretly.

When Cui Wu delivered the letter, Liu Xinqi immediately arranged for the soldiers who had been on alert to take turns to rest in order to deal with the possible war that would occur later.

We also dispatched ships to the Licheng River outlet and the outer sea for reconnaissance to increase the fleet's response time to emergencies.

After everything was arranged, Liu Xinqi continued to interrogate Wang Hao.

By this time, the coward was already asking and answering questions, just hoping to survive.

Because the longer he stayed on the ship, the more he understood that these Zhao people were real warriors, daring warriors. These people would carry out Liu Xinqi's orders without any hesitation, even if they were asked to walk through the sea of ​​fire or climb the mountain of knives.

Just like when Liu Xinqi asked Cui Wu to return to the city to deliver a message, the man who caught him immediately agreed without worrying about whether he would be able to come out again after entering the city.
