Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 656 Preparing for Silver (1)

Xiao Tou's face darkened, these two brats dared to disrespect him and tease him.

"It seems that if I don't give you a wink, are you unwilling to cooperate with the old man?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tou beckoned his subordinates to come over, pointing at them and making a striking motion.

The subordinates surrounded them and punched and kicked Lu Fei and Lin Feng until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Chai Qing couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to intercede for the two of them: "Brother Xiao, forget it, they are still children, they just want to talk fast for a while, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as them, and take them all down and imprison them. God, if they figure it out, they will surrender to you."

Seeing Chai Qing pleading, Xiao Tou thought for a while, and waved his hands to signal his subordinates to stop.

Lu Fei and Lin Feng couldn't support themselves and fell on the deck.

"Drag them all down and lock them up."

Two subordinates stepped forward and dragged Lu Fei and Lin Feng down.

Chai Qing looked at Lu Fei and Lin Feng who were being dragged, and couldn't help sighing.

Xiao Tou didn't care, he laughed.

"Brother Chai, in fact, you don't need to intercede for the two of them. These two people have nothing to do with your Chai family. Wu Tian sent them to protect Chai Jin in name, but in fact to supervise Chai Jin. I killed them, just in time. It is a good thing for the Chai family to get rid of the spies around you for the Chai family."

Chai Qing smiled slightly and remained silent.

Why didn't he think so in his heart, but Chai Jin didn't think so in his heart, he only felt that Wu Tian was kind.

"Brother Xiao, what you said is very reasonable, but things are already like this, and it is useless to say more. I just want to know, what do you mean by what you said just now? What do you want this old man to do?"

When Xiao Tou saw that Chai List was going straight in, he didn't hide it anymore.

"This time, we need to spend a lot of money to fight against Wutian. Just relying on the family property of our few old nobles is no way to support the military expenditure of a million troops. So we want to ask you, the Chai family, to contribute. According to me As we know, the assets of the Chai family over the years are at least about 300 million taels. If the property of the ancestors is included, there should be nearly 1000 million taels of silver. I don’t dare to ask for all of them. As long as you can give 900 million taels of silver, Chai Jin This life, I can assure you that I will keep it."

Hearing this, Chai Qing was dumbfounded.

900 million taels of silver is an astronomical figure for the Chai family. Where can he gather so much silver in such a short time?
"Brother Xiao, are you kidding me? Before 900 million taels of silver, where did the old man go to raise it for you? Can you reduce it a bit, 300 million taels of silver, maybe the old man can sell all his properties and get it for you. 900 million taels of silver, my Chai family really has no choice."

When Xiao Tou heard what Chai Qing said, his face suddenly became displeased.

He looked at Chai Qing with a dark face, which made him a little numb.

"Brother Chai, I said just now that the 900 million taels of silver has been reduced a lot in our friendship over the years. If you continue to bargain with me like this, I'm afraid our deal will fail. I don't care, anyway. Chai Jin is in my hand, it can be used as a talisman, with him, Wutian will have no way to deal with me. Even, if necessary, I can falsely accuse you Chai family of being in the same party as us. In fact, you have already become ours. Party. You said that if Wu Tian knew about this, how would he deal with you?"

Only at this time did Chai Qing understand the purpose of Xiaotou's invitation to come here. Apart from avoiding Liang Guo's pursuit, another purpose was to bring the wealthy Chai family into this matter.

"Brother Xiao, you are too ruthless, our Chai family has no grievances against you, why are you so aggressive?"

Xiao Tou laughed out loud, with strong contempt in his voice.

"Now you have no choice. From the moment you boarded my ship, you must pay attention to sharing weal and woe with us. Even if you risk your life and money, then I have nothing to do. For the sake of old friends, I won't kill you, I will send a boat to take you back to Zhangtai, just go back and wait for Chai Jin to collect the body."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tou waved his hand to signal to his two subordinates.

The subordinates walked up to Chai Qing, and asked Chai Qing to leave expressionlessly.

Looking at Xiao Tou's heartless face, Chai Qing knew that he had no choice.

For the Chai family, he went all out.

"Wait, Brother Xiao, I'll just agree to the conditions you offered. But you have to make sure you don't hurt my nephew."

Hearing this, Xiao Tou waved his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat.

He walked over and looked at Chai Qing with a smile on his face: "Brother Chai, if you said this earlier, we wouldn't have so many misunderstandings."

"I can collect silver for you, but I also need time. After all, this is 900 million taels of silver, and I can't collect it all at once."

Xiao Tou pondered for a while, and said: "Well, I'll give you ten days. After ten days, you send the money to Zhangtai, and someone will meet you."

Chai Qing nodded.

At night, Chai Qing returned to the beach in a boat, and this time there was a little girl waiting there.

The little girl was wearing armor and a red robe, her face was like a cold moon, and she was serious.

When she saw Chai Qing coming ashore, she hurriedly greeted her, cupped her hands and said, "Master Chai, I am Xiao Patriarch's personal guard. My name is Xiao Hong. From now on, I will be responsible for your safety until you handle everything." complete."

Chai Qing glanced at Xiao Hong, smiled calmly, and said: "Well, it seems that my brother Xiao still doesn't believe me, well, he doesn't want to believe me, and I have nothing to say. Follow if you want. "

Xiao Hong nodded, and asked Chai Qing to get on the carriage, and went straight to the train station to rush back to Cangzhou.

All these were detected by Dai Zong's spies, and they immediately reported to Liangcheng.

……

After Wu Tian learned about this from Dai Zong, he was very shocked. He stared at Dai Zong and said, "This Chai Jin already knows where Xiaotou and the others are. Why didn't he send someone to report to the court and act alone? Could it be that he has a double heart for the court?" ?”

Dai Zong cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I haven't investigated this matter clearly, and I dare not make a conclusion. However, I feel that Brother Chai Jin and His Majesty are sworn brothers with us, and His Majesty treats him very politely. He should not He would do such a rebellious thing. I think the reason why he didn't say anything is to find out where Xiaotou is, and after everything is clear, he will report it to His Majesty and send a large army to encircle and suppress him."

After listening to Dai Zong's words, Wu Tian thought of the days he spent with Chai Jin, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable, so he nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, now that we know where Xiaotou is, should Governor Li Shilang send a navy to encircle them?"

Wu Tian pondered for a while, then shook his head.

"This matter is of great importance, and I will handle it myself. You go and prepare, I will go to Cangzhou to meet Chai Qing."
