Chapter 18: Taiyin Spirit Gu Pill
The party continued to begin.
Truman continued to play with his glass.
Naturally, he would not remind Zhao Dapang and Qian Dekai.
After all, there is still some shame in accepting bribes.
I have to say that the dish of this drunken immortal residence is indeed delicious, and what interests Truman the most is the two duck heads that look at each other, which emerge from the cool soup, and the name of this dish is Mandarin Duck Playing in the Water.
Truman smiled faintly, isn't this similar to the current scene?
On his right hand, Zhao Dapang was making eye contact with Qian De, his arms moving slightly, and his hands hidden under the table seemed to be gesturing something.
Truman was not prepared to bother them.
He calmly knocked down a duck's head, and then took a cabbage leaf.
Time passed in a hurry, and the two had not yet come up with a result.
Zhao Dahai compared a number under the table again and again, but Qian Dekai always shook his head.
He didn't seem satisfied with the figures Zhao Dahai had proposed.
......
Chen Pinli has not spoken again since then.
He was undoubtedly shrewd, not only responding in the first place, but also setting the standard of ten thousand silver.
While getting the favor of the county order, it also embarrassed the other three.
This hand, he earned.
This would naturally arouse the hostility of several other families, but compared to the favor of the prefectural magistrate personally sent by His Majesty the Emperor, he would not hesitate to choose the latter.
And since thirty years ago, he has offended them, and he naturally doesn't care about that.
Mrs. Luo looked at it in her eyes and thought about it in her heart.
After a while, she spoke.
"Although the concubine has taken back the goods from the adult, the concubine should still be congratulated when the adult takes office as the county commander of our Yangzhou County."
Truman turned his head to look at her, and there was a smile on his beautiful face.
This came as a surprise to him.
Since that day he sent back the detained goods to Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo no longer had any interest in him.
But when he retreated from a hundred miles that day, he still owed Mrs. Luo a favor.
What made Mrs. Luo congratulate him on this time?
Truman thought of only one.
Put pressure on Zhao Qian and the two.
At this point, the pressure on Zhao Qian and the two families, the more Trumen looked at it, the more he felt that Mrs. Luo was a little more beautiful.
He remembered the concubine of that day.
If he is so beautiful and knows how to echo him, and he is rich in money, he really marries him, then he will not let her be a concubine if he says anything, and the position of the eldest wife must be hers.
As for the fiancΓ©e, the eldest princess.
can barely be a concubine.
Never mind.
Such a vicious woman took a break directly.
Truman thought to himself, only to feel more and more beautiful.
As for eating soft rice or something.
Well.....
He has a bad stomach!
Money and wife.
Countless money and a wife who can be on the beauty list.
What could be better than that.
And all this requires only one thing.
Marry the woman in front of you.
......
But.
Marry this woman.
It's something that all Dajin men dream of.
......
Mrs. Luo's return of the goods, Chen Zhao and Qian's three families all knew, and as for the price, they didn't dare to speculate.
After all, Mrs. Luo can come up with one more thing than them.
Judging from the time when Mrs. Luo came out of the yamen that day, it was a bit short, but it was not impossible.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, did the congratulatory gift I mentioned make you so excited? Saliva is pouring out. β
Mrs. Luo on the side naturally didn't know what Truman was thinking, she looked at the former's appearance at this time, and said with a smile.
"Ahh
Embarrassed.
"Madame continues." Truman smiled and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Luo picked up a cup of tea and said, "My lord, the concubine's amount of wine is really limited, so I will replace the wine with tea and congratulate my lord on serving as the county magistrate of our Yangzhou County." β
Yes!
That's it?
Do you think you're going to come up with something good?
Truman raised his glass in disappointment, and then drank it with her.
Mrs. Luo put down the teacup, looked at Truman at this time, and suddenly smiled again.
She smiled and said: "When the adult first arrived in Yangzhou County, food, clothing, housing and transportation will also be troublesome, there is a mansion with a concubine at the East Street, and now there is no one to live in, so she will send it to the adult, and the concubine has prepared ten other servants, and they will also be sent to the adult." β
Truman was sluggish.
There is no doubt that it was a pleasant surprise.
But.
Do you want to collect it?
Take it.
The Chen family has received everything they have sent, and it is unreasonable not to accept it.
Truman thanked him.
Just after Mrs. Luo finished sending it, Zhao Dapang obviously couldn't stand.
He stood up and arched his hand: "My Zhao family is also willing to exchange five thousand taels of silver for that batch of goods, and at the same time prepare five thousand taels of silver, plus some treasures to congratulate your lord on serving as the county commander of our Yangzhou County." β
Truman smiled slightly, and said the same thing as before.
Chen Zhao and Luo have already expressed their positions, but only Qian Dekai is left.
He pinched two balls in his hands.
He said lightly: "Lord Chu, don't you think your appetite is a little big?" β
"Oh, how is it a little big?"
Truman asked calmly.
"Ten thousand taels, Lord Chu thinks he can swallow a small county order?"
Qian Dekai's purpose in saying this was very simple, implying that there were people above him, and his official position was much higher than that of Truman.
Truman smiled faintly, and asked rhetorically: "Yes, my county order is indeed a little smaller than that of the county guard, but if you can swallow it or not, the head of the Qian family will know if you try it?" β
Chand's eyes narrowed into a line: "Aren't you afraid?" β
Truman raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the head of the Qian family threatening me?" β
"I don't dare, I just want my lord to see my situation clearly and return that shipment to me as soon as possible, so as not to go astray."
"Astray! Haha......" He twisted the wine glass, suddenly changed the topic and asked, "The head of the Qian family has done a good job in business over the years, right?" β
"Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, business is not bad."
Truman's face turned cold, and there seemed to be a chill spreading.
"Then did Your Majesty let you do the human tooth business?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a snap, and the two balls in Chand's hand had fallen to the ground.
His face was cold.
His hands were shaking.
It is clear that the secrets of his heart have been unearthed.
Chen Luozhao and the others also looked at Qian Dekai with an incredulous expression, and they didn't seem to expect that the lean old man in front of them would do such a thing that everyone was angry about.
Li Lianyi's eyes widened, her hand was on the hilt of the sword, trembling slightly, and she was eager to capture the person in front of her immediately.
Noticing her mood change, Truman glanced at her and motioned for her not to be impulsive.
Li Lianyi nodded vaguely.
"What are you talking about, sir? I don't understand! β
Qian Dekai's voice trembled.
"Why should the head of the Qian family pretend to be stupid?"
"What about the evidence?" Chandkai was struggling.
Truman smiled faintly.
"The head of the Qian family seems to have forgotten that two of his subordinates were caught a month ago?"
"Impossible, impossible." Qian Dekai's voice trembled even more.
"It really shouldn't be possible, after all, the Taiyin Spirit Gu Pill is not easy to understand."
"And how did you unravel it?" Qian Dekai was already slumped in his chair, weak.
He didn't defend it anymore.
When Truman said the Taiyin Spirit Gu Pill, he had no room for justification.
