Chapter 273: Bribery
The city lord was very happy to see that Ge Hong did not mention the issue of reducing the tax rate, and the two of them decided on the number of shops to open and the time to pay the tax every month during the banquet.
In order to thank the city lord, Ge Hong specially prepared a 10,000 gold coin ancestral country deposit ticket, the city lord nodded with satisfaction, and personally sent Ge Hong to the yamen, the city lord did this on the one hand for the sake of money, on the other hand, he couldn't sense the specific cultivation on Ge Hong's body, you must know that he is a high-level Lizun, so Ge Hong is a strong person in the Liwang realm, and he has to be careful.
If he knew that Ge Hong was a high-level power king, he probably wouldn't dare to accept this money, this was the deterrence brought by the realm.
As for the problem of site selection, Ge Hong was not in a hurry, it was very important to choose the location for good business, and the next day he took his subordinates to walk around Huairou City, along the way Ge Hong did not suppress the momentum, and the huge pressure scared the arrogant guys.
The biggest advantage of these people is to bully the soft and fear the hard, although they don't know the specific realm of this middle-aged man, but they know that this person is not something they can provoke, from this day on, the forces in Huairou City will know that there is a master in the city, they as the head snake naturally want to find out the identity of this person, and finally one of the people who is very close to the yamen, through the yamen learned that this person is the vice president of the Guangyao Chamber of Commerce, who came here to open a shop.
For a while, these people began to inquire about the Guangyao Chamber of Commerce, the two cities were too far apart, and the floating population was not much, so the news was relatively closed, and they didn't even know which Guangyao Chamber of Commerce was.
After another two days, Murong Rou arrived, but what Ping'an didn't expect was that it was Li Dali who came with Murong Rou, most of the year ago, this person was still a middle-level Lizun, and now he has been promoted to a high-level Lizun, it seems that this person not only has brains, but also has a good cultivation talent.
Murong Rou was very happy to be transferred by Ping'an, she still felt that fighting and killing was more suitable for herself, and Wuwen was not suitable for a blood-stained person like her, the two sat aside after giving Ping'an a salute, Ping'an looked at Li Dali and said puzzledly: "You are more suitable for the army, don't you know that when you walk out of Hanyun Town, you are not a soldier but the escort of the Glorious Chamber of Commerce?"
"Back to the adult's words, the villain figured out this matter. ”
Ping An looked at Li Dali with a determined look and nodded, since the other party is a smart person, then give him a chance, if he behaves well and is loyal, it is not impossible to reuse him.
Murong Rou knows Ping An very well, his style of doing things is very bold and cold-blooded, she is afraid that these big-headed soldiers who have not experienced killing will not be able to stand it, after hearing this, Ping An sneered: "How can there be anything in the world that only asks and does not pay, since they choose this path, they must be ready at any time, only by experiencing life and death battles can they grow rapidly." ”
After hearing this, the two nodded slightly, and Ping'an then asked about the entry of the personnel into the city, and after listening to the words of the two, he knew that the guards at the city gate here didn't care at all, as long as you didn't blatantly shake in front of them with knives and guns, they basically didn't care.
Three thousand people have entered the city through four gates, Ping An nodded slightly, let them be vigilant, there will be a big move in the next two days, let them have a psychological preparation in advance, and the two hurriedly went out to make arrangements after hearing this.
The team of 3,000 people Murong Rou is the first time to lead, if there is no Li Dali's help, she doesn't know what to do, Li Dali knows that Murong Rou is a celebrity next to Lord Yang, and he needs to have a good relationship with her, so for Murong Rou, Li Dali is responsive.
The two of them called their captains that night and told them about Lord Yang's orders, they had just come out of the barracks, and knew that it was the duty of soldiers to obey orders, although they had some drums in their hearts, but they did not refute it.
Early the next morning, Ping'an took Murong Rou and her ten subordinates and Li Dali. A group of thirteen people came to the yamen of the city lord's mansion, and the yamen guards stretched out their hands to stop Ping'an, and reluctantly smiled: "This prince doesn't know what's going on?"
"I'm a friend of the city lord, and I'm looking for him for something, so I'm tired of it. The Ping'an guard didn't even ask and ran directly into the yamen, and whispered to himself: "If this is my subordinate, Lao Tzu will definitely take him away." Murong Rou and the others were slightly stunned after hearing this, looked up at the guards who were twisting their buttocks and running away, and forced a smile.
A few minutes later, the guard walked out with a middle-aged literati, and the middle-aged literati looked at Ping'an and the others and was slightly stunned and curious: "My master doesn't seem to know you, right?"
"I'm here this time to talk to the city lord about business, and after the negotiation, I will naturally be friends. ”
The middle-aged scribe's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and introduced Ping'an and others into the yamen, and after entering the lobby, the scribe asked Ping'an and his subordinates to wait for tea in the hall, and he entered the back hall with Ping'an.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the living room of the back hall, with a round face and small eyes, big ears and a red nose, how to look like a businessman, not like the lord of a city, Ping An glanced at this person, looked at this person's sallow face, cloudy eyes, and nodded slightly.
The city lord saw that Ping An looked like a jade, and the clothes on his body looked like the son of a big family, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his fist and saluted, Ping An hugged his fist in return, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged literati.
After sitting down peacefully, the city lord smiled and said, "I don't know what the little brother is looking for the city lord?"
"I want to talk to the lord of the city about a big business, and the business involves a lot, I don't know if you have the guts. ”
The city lord frowned slightly after hearing this, and was a little unhappy in his heart, the other party begged him to do something, and his attitude was still so arrogant, he couldn't help but snort coldly, "Let's hear it, this city lord still has some courage to ask himself." ”
"It's very simple, I'm going to buy a yamen to rest for a day, no matter what happens during this day, the yamen doesn't care, but I promise not to touch anyone who has something to do with the city lord. Ping An went straight to the point and directly stated the purpose of this trip.
"What!" The city lord was taken aback when he heard this, slapped the table and stood up, and looked at Ping An angrily: "You kid is crazy, this matter is impossible, you die of this heart." ”
"Don't worry, Lord of the City, you can see what this is first, and after the matter is completed, there will be another offering. Ping An took out five deposit tickets and put them on the table and pushed them to the city lord.
The city lord glanced at it and knew that it was a deposit ticket, but this kid's request was really difficult, but driven by curiosity, he still picked up the deposit ticket on the table and looked at it, 500,000! A full 500,000 ancestral country deposit ticket! If it is exchanged for the money of Hengyuan Kingdom, it is 2.5 million. If you agree, you will get 500,000. Such a big deal made him hesitate again.
The old god of peace was holding the teacup and quietly tasting tea, the city lord thought for a long time, sighed, and put the money on the table, "It's not that I don't want to agree, but it's useless for me to promise, if something happens to Huairou City, the military will definitely intervene, and I will not be able to escape the blame when the time comes." ”
"Don't worry, Lord of the City, I will solve it in the army, and I won't let you have any worries. ”
"The people on the military side are not as talkative as I am. The city lord did not let go, obviously not believing that peace could be done.
"In that case, you can take this money first, if I get the military, I will come to you again, if I don't get it, how about this money to buy tea for the city lord?"
The city lord looked at the young man who had not changed at all since he came in, and had always been calm as usual, and knew that the other party was not a simple character, since he dared to put 500,000 gold coins here for himself, he was not afraid of regretting it.
After the city lord was entangled for a long time, he didn't touch the money on the table, shook his head and said, "This matter is too big, I can't agree to it." ”
"Hehe, Lord City Lord, since I dare to tell you my purpose directly, do you think you still have the right to refuse?" After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, a flaming giant hand rolled the city lord in front of Ping'an, and Xiao Hei got out of Ping'an's arms and bit the city lord's arm fiercely.
Ping'an pinched the city lord's throat with one hand and said coldly: "I want to kill you as easily as possible, and the poison that bit you just now is the poisonous pet I raised, and only I can solve the poison in you, if you don't agree, you won't survive tomorrow night." ”
