Wu Yizhou was not ambiguous, rolled up his sleeves and waited for the fight. At this time, Liu Pei then said slowly: "Brother Hu, you should know the cause of this incident. The last time I came to Jinan, you people who beat the people who robbed halfway have already broken the rules! I didn't kill them all at that time, I already saved enough face for your gang! But what I didn't expect was that your subordinates would not hesitate to entangle more people to rob me! Isn't that too much? ”

Before coming, Liu Pei had already asked a lot of things about the line. Although he said that he had done all the bad things on weekdays, he advertised that he did not steal or rob on the surface. is like a hero in Liangshan, who kills people and sets fires all day long, but says that he is doing the right thing for heaven! So as long as Liu Pei bites this piece of Hu Lin, there is no way.

Hu Lin raised his eyebrows and said forcefully: "The brother did a little bad last time, but Brother Liu shouldn't be killed!" As long as Brother Liu sues us, we will deal with it! As for this time, we're just helping our brother who suffers. ”

Liu Pei sneered and said, "I'm heavy? I shot lightly, and I can't save my life! According to the regulations of the township covenant and the government: thieves must be beaten! The robber is not guilty! So I don't care about the deaths and wounds of your brothers. I went to Jinan twice but I brought the goods, and I broke the house when the goods were gone, how dare I hesitate? ”

Liu Pei bit that he was transporting goods, and then someone robbed him, and his killing behavior was self-defense and counterattack. As for the deaths and injuries caused, it has nothing to do with him! From this point there is nothing Hulin can do. The two sides can only continue to argue.

As the two sides continued to talk, Hu Lin finally relented, and his demands continued to be lowered. But Liu Pei understands in his heart that negotiations like this are about the strength of both sides! Liu Pei can use 100 people to break up more than 200 people, so he is naturally not afraid of them.

And the fight line is a rather loose gang. This time, more than 200 people were gathered to do their best. What's more, 5 archers were hired from the barracks and 3 died, which required the officers to be leveled and a large amount of money to be paid! And the people in the gang are already scared. It's impossible to gather a few hundred more people!

The two sides talked for a long time, and finally Liu Pei became impatient. Liu Pei leaned forward, stared at Hu Lin's eyes and said, "Brother Hu, I can tell one thing clearly!" I still had 40 guns in my cart at the time, which was useless! If I had used it, it wouldn't have been a dead or wounded! ”

Hu Lin's face changed color when he listened. He didn't know if it was true or not. But he knew he was about to be cornered. If we can't talk about a result today, I'm afraid it's going to be a big one! Otherwise, the brand will be finished! I will die without a place to bury!

Liu Pei continued: "Today I will talk about my final bottom line. If Brother Hu agrees, we can make friends in the future! If Brother Hu doesn't agree, then let's count it based on our strength. ”

Hu Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "You talk about it first." ”

When Liu Pei saw him open his mouth, he knew that this matter was almost decided. He said, "Let's not talk about today's affairs." I gave Brother Hu 3,000 taels of silver to see the wounds of the brothers! As for the wine, forget it! In addition, the two counties of Jiaozhou and Jimo will no longer be under your control in the future, and I will take over. From now on, our well water will not interfere with river water. ”

Hu Lin listened to it and began to ponder, thinking that this thing was feasible. With these 3,000 taels of silver, the problem of archers can be solved. At most, give the officer a few taels of silver! The other injured brothers can also pay a little bit for the soup and medicine. As for those who are dead, those who have a family will be given some settling-in expenses. Forget it if the single one dies. And there are the most singles in the industry, which can save a lot of silver.

This matter is also Liu Pei's ruthlessness. These singles fight and brawl the hardest on weekdays, and they run the fastest! When they fought that day, they all ran to the front, and basically most of them died! So the settling-in fee for this piece is not much money. And with these 3,000 taels of silver, there is already an explanation on the face, and things are much easier.

However, Hu Lin rolled his eyes and put forward a condition. said: "Brother Liu's words also have some truth! As the saying goes, it is better to settle the dispute, since Brother Liu is willing to give face, I will not chase after it here! As for the two counties of Jiaozhou and Jimo, the people there have never listened to our dispatch, if Brother Liu wants Jiaozhou and Jimo, I'm afraid he will have to take it himself! ”

This Hulin made the idea of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf. Jiaozhou and Jimo counties themselves are poor places, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. The people in those two places are fierce and aggressive, and there are a large number of salt barons who sell illicit salt! Those people are real outlaws, and even the officials of the government dare to do it! Dare to fight when you encounter the guards! The reason is simple, it was a felony to sell illicit salt in the Ming Dynasty! As with modern drug trafficking, it is basically a death to be caught, so they dare to fight hard!

Hu Lin wanted to use the people in these two places to make Liu Pei suffer! Even if Liu Pei successfully takes over the two places, he will have to do a few games with these people. Liu Pei lost, and naturally everything was not mentioned. If he wins, the leaders of Jiaozhou and Jimo can also learn a lesson, and there is no loss for him.

But Liu Pei also has his own ideas. The jurisdiction of Jiaozhou and Jimo counties just envelops Jiaozhou Bay. As long as he gets the underworld business in these two places, he will be regarded as the local overlord! You must know that there has always been a saying that officials do not go to the countryside in all dynasties, and the countryside is maintained by the local clans and gentry. So Liu Pei only needs to occupy the local underworld business and maintain the situation in the countryside. Then he is the uncrowned king of Jiaozhou Bay! As long as he doesn't rebel, no one will care about what Liu Pei does in Jiaozhou Bay.

So Liu Pei said: "Don't bother Brother Hu about these things." Let's talk about what we just did. I've finished what I need to say, so I'll ask Brother Hu to decide now! ”

Hu Linmi's eyes began to think. Originally, his eyes were thin, but when he squinted again, he could barely see his eyes. After a long time, Hu Lin clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Just do what Brother Liu said! From today onwards, the well water on both sides of us will not interfere with the river water. ”

Liu Pei was not ambiguous, and directly ordered a 3,000 taels of silver ticket and handed it over. Hu Lin took it and saw that it was the banker signed by the shopkeeper, so he said to the shopkeeper of the flower: "I'm afraid I will have to worry about the shopkeeper in the future." ”

The shopkeeper nodded nonchalantly and said, "I don't care!" I'm a businessman anyway, as long as you negotiate it. ”

Hu Lin raised his wine glass and said, "This time the matter is annoying!" Brother Liu and I would like to toast you! ”

Liu Pei also raised his wine glass and toasted the shopkeeper together. Putting down the wine glass, the atmosphere at the banquet eased, and everyone began to drink and eat. But in fact, neither side had the heart to eat. Everyone simply ate a few bites and then dispersed. But the flower shopkeeper has eaten a ditch full of trenches!
