Chapter 106: Transactions
Mrs. Luo's fragrant kiss is a drug, which can easily make people addicted to it.
When Truman came to his senses, it was already time for lunch.
In the past, he went back to the big boat to eat, because after more than a month, the maids also learned to cook some meals.
Although the taste is not very good, it is better to be lively and warm.
Plus with Ji Zhuo's nonsense, you can always find some fun.
But I don't think I can go back to the ship for dinner today.
After straightening out his somewhat messy clothes, Truman walked out of the room.
In the lobby, Xu Jinwu was waiting a little bored.
He had thought about what would happen to the county magistrate and Mrs. Luo in the prison.
But he didn't expect that Mrs. Luo had come out for so long, and the county magistrate hadn't come out yet.
"It shouldn't be."
Xu Jinwu naturally muttered to himself.
On the big ship, the momentum of that night and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was vivid.
So he still has a good idea of the strength of the county magistrate.
But.
Now that Mrs. Luo has been out for so long, he hasn't come out yet.
Could it be that he overestimated the strength of the prefectural magistrate?
Or is it underestimating Mrs. Luo's strength?
Xu Jinwu fell into deep thought.
After thinking about it, I only think that the latter is more likely.
Just when Xu Jinwu had made a decision in his heart, he saw Trumen walk out of the side door.
Just as he was about to ask something, Truman had already said, "Let's go, go out with me." ”
......
The road was closed early after three days of heavy snowfall.
But the necessary roads were cleared early.
Out of the city gate, the two of them went all the way north.
Soon came to Niujiatun.
Niujiatun is the main road for bandits to Yangzhou City, so even if it is snowy, there are still a lot of soldiers stationed here.
Including General Zhang.
The two soon met General Zhang.
There was a cowshed at the entrance of Niujiatun, which was vacated by the people as General Zhang's command post.
There is a wood fire burning in the cowshed, plus the beauty hanging in the sky.
So even though the sides are ventilated, it's not very cold here.
At this time, Truman sat on a chair, and General Zhang and Xu Jinwu sat on either side.
Turning his gaze on General Zhang, Truman asked, "General Zhang, have you found that person?" ”
General Zhang nodded and said, "Well, before Xue, he wanted to go out to convey the news, and everyone got the stolen goods. ”
"The news is just about grain?"
When he caught this traitor, General Zhang passed the news to him.
"It seems that the Tigers are indeed out of food, and it is very sad to pass the news this winter, so they risk the exposure of the moles." Truman said slowly.
"They couldn't help it, originally they wanted to stay with this traitor for a few more hours, waiting for it to be used in attacking the mountain in the future, but now, they have to arrest him." General Zhang sighed.
Truman smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it's a good opportunity." ”
General Zhang said in surprise: "My lord means that we are going to attack the mountain now?" ”
"Nope." Truman shook his head, "There was only a heavy snowfall two days ago, why can't we attack the mountain now." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Negotiate with Miles?"
"Negotiations?" General Zhang and Xu Jinwu said this, they were not stupid, and they instantly understood Truman's thoughts.
"Yes, negotiate." Truman confirmed.
"Go and bring the man up."
"Yes."
General Zhang answered, and quickly called two soldiers to bring the traitor out.
The mole was a young man in his twenties.
At this time, he was covered with scars and trembling, thinking that he had been tortured a lot.
But he still stubbornly kept his mouth shut, and did not wail too much.
"Tell me your name."
Truman approached the traitor and stared at him.
The traitor obviously knew Truman, but he only looked at Truman twice and turned his face away.
The soldiers next to him pinched his chin at the right time and pulled his face back.
"Tell me your name."
Truman continued to ask.
"Cao San."
For the person who pinched his chin, Cao San was obviously a little afraid.
In order to avoid being beaten, he obediently said his name.
"Cao San is right, you can go undercover among my soldiers for so long, and you can spread the news of the food to the Tiger Gang in front of the snow regardless of your own exposure, for the Tiger Gang, I think you have a deep affection for it." Truman looked at him and said with a faint smile.
Cao San glanced at Chu Men deeply and said, "Chu County Order, I know that you are a good official, but please give me a death, I will not reveal any news about the Tiger Gang." ”
Still smiling, Truman stood up and said, "I didn't want to get any news from you. ”
"I just want to make some deals with your helper."
"Deal?" Cao San was puzzled.
"Yes, trade, even if it is exposed, it is necessary to pass on the news about food, I think you Tigers have no food, right?"
"I can give you food to get you through."
Hearing Chu Men's words, Cao San's eyes widened, and he asked in an uncertain tone, "Lord Chu is willing to give us food?" ”
Truman nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, I will give you food." ”
Seeing the other party's certain tone, Cao San suddenly smiled gloomily and said, "If the adults want to destroy our Tiger Gang, why should they use the transaction to deceive me." ”
As if knowing that the other party would not believe it, Truman beckoned outside.
At this moment, dozens of soldiers came from outside, carrying a bag.
Ten people went down, and ten more came up carrying bags full of things.
The soldiers struggled to carry the bag, and it was certain that it contained something.
A moment later, twenty large bags full of things were placed behind Cao San.
"What is this?"
He had already guessed something, and asked with a look of surprise on his face.
Truman smiled faintly, and then said: "This is grain, and I have prepared it long before I thought I was trading with Bailimad. ”
"Twenty bags, ten loads of grain."
"This is the bargaining chip I have to trade with you."
Cao San glanced at the grain in the distance, and then looked at Chumen again.
He shook his head and said slowly, "If you want to destroy our Tiger Gang, why should you use these ten loads of rice at the price. ”
Hearing Cao San say this, Truman couldn't help but appreciate him a little.
"In that case, there's no need to trade."
Truman's face was slightly gloomy, and he turned around resolutely.
Obviously, Truman's actions at this time Cao San did not expect.
He looked at the twenty bags of rice in the distance, and then at Truman, who was about to go away, and after a long time, he was ruthless.
"Lord Chu, please wait."
At the moment when Cao San's words sounded, Truman already had a smile on his face and slowly turned around.
Seeing the smile on the other party's face, Cao San instantly knew that he had been tricked.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Chu, tell me what you want, right?" ”
