Chapter 60: Give the spirit stone first and then cooperate

Zhang Nanli looked at Lin Huaian's serious look and said softly: "Master Lin, I said before that I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring the spirit stones. As long as you can bring back ten famous swords, I can directly I give you forty thousand spiritual stones."

Lin Huaian ignored Zhang Nanli, who looked sincere, shook his head and said, "How can I cooperate with you if you can't even produce [-] spirit stones? How can I trust you? This little girl has been fooling around with me for a while. I My patience is limited, if you don't bring out the spirit stone, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it and hand her over to the one in Mengzhou one day."

As soon as Zhang Nanli heard about the one from Mengzhou, the shadow of the great knight flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by mentioning the great knight at this time?Did he know something?
"Haha, Mr. Lin is joking. This little girl is the daughter of my old friend. You asked me to take her back. You can hand her over to the great knight, but he won't accept it either." Zhang Nanli chuckled, keeping his eyes fixed on her. Looking at Lin Huaian's look.

Lin Huaian looked directly at him: "This little girl's background is not simple. She told me that the one in Mengzhou was going to rebel. I think the knight master should be very interested in her."

Now Lin Huaian likes to talk about the Mengzhou Cavalry Master's rebellion when he has nothing to do. He doesn't care whether it is true or false. He speaks naturally and casually, without fear. However, everyone who hears it is panicked, including Zhang Nanli. Exception, his heart was beating wildly again, and he found that he had been frightened twice when he arrived in this room.

Why does this girl say anything?Can you talk about this casually?Now there are rumors in the court that the Grand Cavalry Master is rebelling, but on the surface no one is really saying it casually. As everyone knows, if you tell this lie too often, it will become true. As time goes by, the Grand Cavalry Master will have to rebel even if he doesn’t want to. Forced to rebel.

It was only a matter of time before the Great Cavalry Master was attacked, but not now. Mengzhou was Da Chu's northern barrier and needed to resist Bei Qi. The Great Cavalry Master must not rebel at this time.

Zhang Nanli wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little nervous, but still said: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Mr. Lin, don't take it seriously."

Lin Huaian glanced sideways at the panicked old man: "When will you give me [-] spiritual stones?"

This person is trying to push people to death!

Zhang Nanli complained crazily in his heart, where could he find ten thousand spiritual stones at this time?Unless you ask Yue Sword Palace to borrow some?But the amount of [-] spirit stones is too big. If you go to Yue Jian Palace to get [-] spirit stones at once, everyone in Yue Jian Palace will know about it. In a few days, the whole Jiangzhou will know about it. Then he comes this time Don’t you already know everything about picking people up in Jiangzhou?

Outsiders thought that he was coming to Jiangzhou to punish corrupt officials in order to join the cabinet. In fact, these were all incidental. His real purpose was to pick up people; he was originally asked by Hou Jin to pick up people and bring them back to Yue Jian Palace. Jin was useless, no one caught him, and he was tied up.

Seeing that Zhang Nanli had not spoken for a long time, Lin Huaian smiled slightly and said casually: "Xiao Ali said that you are the most corrupt official in the world, and you are in charge of such a prestigious job as the Ministry of Household Affairs. Jiangzhou has been a wealthy place since ancient times. Why don't you find the following people as servants? Borrowing points? It’s not much, the value of those common things can be exchanged for [-] spiritual stones in the market.”

Lin Huaian had been thinking about this sentence for a long time. When Xiao Ali said that this person is the biggest corrupt official in the world, he had an idea in his mind.

It is right to replace Wang Jue and take over the Lingshi Mine, but what he wants is Jiangzhou that he can control, rather than like Wang Jue and other great masters from other states and counties, who only have the ownership of the Lingshi Mine but cannot interfere in military affairs. .

Even if it is not his words, at least in Jiangzhou, no one dares to hinder him behind his back. Therefore, he wants to use Zhang Nanli's hand to disrupt Jiangzhou's officialdom and interfere with military affairs; he has no intention of power. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and just wants to preserve the Qin family.

Asking Zhang Nanli to go to these people working below to ask for money was the first step in the plan.

At this time, Zhang Nanli immediately became wary after hearing Lin Huaian's words that contained evil intentions, but he also thought of the purpose of his trip. The first was to pick up people, and the second was to check Jiangzhou's tax revenue in recent years.Lin Huaian's words gave him a little inspiration, and his mind couldn't help but start to move. He naturally knew what these officials in Jiangzhou had done in the past few years. If he could do it well this time and implement the plan in his heart, both tasks could be completed. And it can be done very beautifully.

After having an idea in his mind, Zhang Nanli smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will find a way to do this and will definitely hand over these ten thousand spirit stones to you. After that, we are talking about the top ten famous swords, but I am worried about Guan Shan." After the gangster got the famous sword and handed it over to his next family, it would be troublesome to trace it. This matter can't be delayed..."

Zhang Nanli did not directly explain the following words, but everyone understood the meaning. Lin Huaian did not answer the call, but suddenly said: "Sir Zhang, we can be considered a semi-cooperative relationship now. In order to deepen the trust between each other, I Got an idea."

Zhang Nanli immediately acted like he was all ears.

"I have a nephew named Qin Tian. He is very loyal and loyal. He usually admires big people like Mr. Zhang. How about you becoming brothers?"

Lin Huaian finished speaking very seriously.

Zhang Nanli was stunned, his eyebrows and beard almost raised.

I am a dignified household minister, and I am sworn sworn brother with a big-headed boy?Isn't this a joke?How could this be possible? !
Zhang Nanli was about to refuse without thinking, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. He looked at Lin Huaian carefully, and then he thought again, this is a great master...

Moreover, this girl also learned some news about the rebellion of the Mengzhou Cavalry. At this time, if I refuse to sworn sworn brothers with his nephew and worsen the relationship, what should he do if he sides with Mengzhou in the future?
Although this possibility is unlikely, Zhang Nanli does not dare to take risks. He feels that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. It is just a sworn homage and has no practical effect. If he can make friends with a great master and gain a little face, It doesn’t matter if you lose it.

After thinking about it, Zhang Nanli forced a smile on his face: "Haha, that's just right. I like to make friends with young knights the most, so just listen to Master Lin."

After the master agreed, Lin Huaian said hello to the outside without any ink.

Qin Tian immediately came over with an incense burner and a live chicken, skillfully inserted incense and chopped off the chicken's head.

Lin Huaian also got a piece of black and white paper for Zhang Nanli to sign and seal.

When Zhang Nanli saw the contract, he began to feel that something was wrong, but he had to shoot the arrow. If he refused at this time, it would be insincere. Then there would be a gap between the two parties, and all the previously discussed cooperation might be invalidated. The most important thing is that , he was afraid of offending this person, and losing his own life was nothing. The main reason was that he was afraid that the girl would really be sent to the great knight.

Zhang Nanli sighed and signed the contract. After it was over, he forced a smile and said: "Master Lin, from now on you can be regarded as your own family. I hope you will take good care of me."
