Chapter 419: Asking for Reparations

"What kind of world is Dahan now, Lord Zhao He, you should also know very well, I, Liu Xian, am actually a rotten life, not as noble as Lord Zhao He. Why? Not to mention that you may not know, I Liu Xian and my mother were infected with the epidemic a few years ago, and my mother failed to recover and died. And a rotten life I picked up from the ghost gate. Before she died, my mother told me about my true life and many secrets that were not known to the world. Since then, I, Liu Xian, have vowed that from now on, I must live well, live for myself, and live to fulfill my mother's last wish. ”

Liu Xian faced Zhao He, suddenly raised his voice, looked a little excited, clenched his fist with his right hand, hit the desk in front of him hard, and said with a bang: "I, Liu Xian, am indeed a person who died once, I don't want to die again, who dares to want my life, I must ...... will definitely take his life first, even if he is the king of heaven! Lord Zhao, you said that my son was doing well in Liulin Village, why did you summon my son to Beijing? Okay, if you enter Beijing, you will enter Beijing, but I don't want any more accidents on the road, otherwise, if I go crazy, I won't care about anything. Wu Jin was killed by me, and I don't want to kill again. Understand? ”

Zhao He was really frightened at this time, for fear that Liu Xian would burst out and kill people.

Although Liu Xian didn't say anything explicitly, Zhao He, who had a ghost in his heart, felt that Liu Xian was targeting him.

These eunuchs, they are indeed greedy and arrogant, and treat ordinary people, especially ordinary people, they are extremely vicious and powerful. However, when they are confronted with those who do not eat their set, and those who dare to use knives against them, then they are cowardly.

Now Zhao He was indeed frightened by Liu Xian, and he didn't dare to think of making trouble for Liu Xian again, at least, before returning to the capital, he didn't dare.

Wu Jin's three or four thousand officers and soldiers were over, and Liu Xian proved to him with facts that Liu Xian would kill people. Aside from this Hanoi Taishou Wu Jin, it is difficult for Zhao He to mobilize military horses to deal with Liu Xian. Maybe you can secretly contact those defenders of the city to create some trouble for Liu Xian, but those defenders and guards are not something that they eunuchs can mobilize, at most they can only promise some benefits and let them make trouble for Liu Xian, but this is at most just disgusting Liu Xian, but it will not cause substantial harm to Liu Xian. After all, those defenders and generals would definitely not directly fight Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan.

Zhao He hurriedly forced a smile and said to Liu Xian as if flattering: "Young Master Liu, little marquis, you can rest assured." Zhao really didn't expect that our family was just waiting for you one step ahead, but such a thing happened. This time, our family opened the way for the Liu Mansion caravan, I see who would dare to come nonsense! That Wu ...... Wu or something, I guess he just heard that the caravan of Liu Mansion had a lot of money, and when he saw the wealth, he wanted to lead the army to loot, right? Hum! Such a thief, Liu Gongzi killed it well, when our family returns to the capital and sees the emperor, we will definitely explain the situation, and we must destroy Wu Jin's family! ”

"It's okay, since that's the case, then I'll bother Lord Zhao. That one...... Wu Jin, as an official of the imperial court, dared to turn into a thief, so it seems that he must not be a good person. is usually an official, but he must be an insatiable corrupt official. When Lord Zhao told the emperor the truth, he also had to mention to the emperor the loss of his caravan, especially the guards of his caravan, who were killed by thousands of people, and this compensation alone almost made his son bankrupt. For this matter, please leave everything to Lord Zhao. ”

"Huh? This, this...... Yes, yes, that's as it should be. Zhao He was a little dumbfounded, he just said this, in order to temporarily calm Liu Xian's heart, but he didn't think that Liu Xian beat the snake with the stick, and really planned to raid Wu Jin's home. However, he had to agree.

"Okay, this is what Lord Zhao and you said, so let's do it, this empty talk, there is no basis for the words, let's set up a note. How can I say it, this time we are also at the call of the emperor, leading the caravan of Liu Mansion into Beijing, and now we have been attacked by Wu Jin and suffered heavy losses, so the imperial court has to say something, right? Liu Xian was happy in his heart, at this time, if there is a benefit, he must ask for it, and now he has scared Zhao He, no matter what he says, he must agree first.

"Written notes? W-This is not necessary, is it? As long as our family returns to Beijing and makes it clear to the emperor, the imperial court will immediately send someone to confiscate Wu Jin's family. When the time comes, the imperial court will compensate you, Gongzi Liu. Zhao He complained bitterly in his heart and hurriedly shirked it.

"Lord Zhao, this is your mistake. You must know that the emperor sent you to summon Ben Gongzi to Beijing for Qin, but you did not protect Ben Gongzi's safety all the way. Well...... I don't care, let me do the math, the so-called ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Isn't a county too shou equal to a government? The Qing Governor's Mansion has 100,000 snowflakes of silver, so Wu Jin, an outlaw, will definitely have more. However, considering that he may not have served as a taishou in Hanoi for ten years, it is calculated according to 100,000. How much is a tael of silver today? Consistent five strains money, right? That's pretty much, that's it. Then it's 100,000 guan, 100 million money. Cut it by half, and that's 50 million. That should be pretty much the same. ”

"Huh? Fifty million dollars? Zhao He's forehead was sweating.

Is 50 million a lot of money? It's up to whom.

Those wealthy scholar families, they can take out millions of dollars to buy an official position without blinking an eye. And when these eunuchs ask for bribes from others, they basically open their mouths for millions and tens of millions of dollars. For example, when he asked Huangfu Song for a bribe earlier, he opened his mouth for tens of millions of dollars. It's really nothing.

However, for ordinary people, 50 million yuan is really an astronomical amount, and Liu Xian went to business once earlier, but in fact, he only gained tens of millions of money.

Wu Jin, who had been an official in the imperial court for many years, and now he was in Hanoi, so Wu Jin must be desperate to make money. However, he is only a county guard, and his official position is not low or high, and he usually has to honor the eunuchs in the court. It is estimated that if Wu Jin does not have another industrial income, he still has a family property of 10 or 20 million yuan, and it is difficult to say how much it is. One or two million dollars, about six million or so in later generations, as a county guard, or the mayor of a city in later generations, if you are greedy, it is normal to make millions or tens of millions in a year or two.

Now Zhao He is worried that even if he really copied Wu Jin's house, he may not have 50 million money.

"Is 50 million a lot?" Liu Xian's face sank at this time, and he stared at Zhao He with a somewhat vicious expression: "According to the current price, is it more than 50 million yuan?" More than 1,000 people died in my Liu Mansion caravan, even if it was divided equally among them, each of them would be the 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and a life would not be worth the 30,000 or 40,000 yuan? ”

Zhao He's heart jumped again, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "No more, no more, hehe, this is appropriate, so it's decided." ”

"Okay, Wudie, Ning'er, take the four treasures of the study, let's make a note with Lord Zhao."

Liu Xian saw that Zhao He didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately asked the two girls to bring paper and pencils.

Zhao He is now under the eaves, and he has to bow his head, because inside and outside the house, there are basically Liu Xian's people, those caravan guards, the swords in their hands are clearly shaking, and they even have blood, obviously they have not wiped them even after killing people.

He was really worried that after falling out with Liu Xian, Liu Xian would kill him too. If a person dies, he will die, no matter what happens to Liu Xian in the future, but this has nothing to do with him, Zhao He really doesn't want to die.

Liu Xian asked Zhang Ning to write and wrote an agreement according to his own will.

This means that Wu Jin led his officers and soldiers to attack Liu Xian's caravan, causing more than 1,000 casualties and destroying most of the caravan's goods. As compensation, half of Wu Jin's family wealth will be returned to Liu Xian.

These are actually secondary, the most critical place is to compensate Liu Xian 50 million yuan, the guarantor is Zhao He, if Wu Jin's house is not delivered to Liu Xian 50 million yuan, the guarantor Zhao He will compensate.

Zhao He really wanted to die at this time, and such an agreement was equivalent to asking him to give Liu Xian 50 million money. Originally, he didn't really plan to copy Wu Jin's house, and he didn't plan to explain the situation to the emperor, but now he has no choice, so he has to copy Wu Jin's house. He now hopes that Wu Jin's family will have more money, if not, then he can only pay it himself.

However, Zhao He still signed and pressed his handprint.

Because it is impossible for him to deliver this money to Liu Xian, any agreement is useless now. As long as Liu Xian enters Beijing, then it will be the time of Liu Xian's death. It is impossible for the emperor to let Liu Xian live for too long, as long as Liu Xian is dead, then it doesn't matter how much money he promised Liu Xian now.

But Zhao He didn't know, but Liu Xian was serious, Zhao He couldn't escape this money.

After Zhao He left, he found that he was drenched in sweat, and he quickly excused himself to be unwell, and he didn't want to accompany Liu Xian to the banquet anymore.

Liu Xian didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao He anymore, and immediately asked his people to start collecting the boats at the Yellow River crossing and preparing to cross the river.

At the same time, Liu Xian asked Zhang Ning to work harder, led the people of the dark camp to cross the river first, let them go to the Yellow River crossing on the opposite bank to inspect the situation, and then reconnoiter the Yellow River wharf on the opposite bank to confirm that there was nothing on the other side of the Yellow River that could threaten the threat of his Liu Fu caravan.

It wasn't until that night that the Liu Fu caravan came to this Yellow River crossing.

Wu Jin had been destroyed, and there was naturally no danger at this Yellow River crossing, and after one night, Zhang Ning returned from the other side of the Yellow River early the next morning, reported the situation on the other side of the Yellow River, and found no threat, so Liu Xiancai ordered the Liu Fu caravan to start crossing the river.

When the Liufu caravan crossed the river, it first unloaded the goods on the oxen and horse-drawn carts, moved them to the boats, first transported some of the goods and the people of the caravan across the river, and then used slightly larger official ships to send the empty oxen and wagons across the river.

In fact, it is really troublesome for caravans to cross the river, especially in a large river like the Yellow River, it is difficult to build pontoon bridges, so they can only transport goods, cattle and horses, oxen and horse-drawn carts and so on separately to cross the river.

This is not a war yet, if it is a war, it will be more difficult for Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan to cross the river.

Think about it, it was in the Three Kingdoms era, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi were all because of natural dangers such as the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River, so it was so difficult to fight.

If Wu Jin did not plan to ambush his caravan, but crossed the men and horses across the Yellow River to defend it, Liu Xian probably really had no chance to enter Beijing with the caravan.

It took a day for the caravan to cross the Yellow River.

In order to prevent Zhao He from giving himself trouble again, Liu Xian waited for all the caravans to cross the Yellow River before crossing the river with him.

After spending the night at the wharf on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Liufu caravan loaded the goods onto the oxen and wagons, and set off on the cattle and horses.

Liu Xian was equal to holding Zhao He hostage, opening the road with him, and encountered checkpoint roadblocks set up by officers and soldiers along the way, all of which let Zhao He come forward to settle down.

In this ancient era, merchants crossing the border, they must pay tolls, there is no way, the world is like this, who calls merchants have no status? Not only the local government officers and soldiers, but also some bandits and bandits who blocked the road and robbed money, if they wanted to pass safely, they had to give money to those bandits and bandits. Also, like the guys in Yannan that Liu Xian met when he first went on a business, they are not government officials or real bandits, but if you set up a roadblock, it will be really difficult for you to pass without spending some money, unless it can be as strong as Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan, and it is related to a strong enough escort ability.

If you can save it, you can save it, Liu Xian doesn't want to be looted every time he crosses the pass of an officer and soldier.

Of course, every time Liu Xian crossed a pass, he would also take the initiative to get acquainted with the officers and soldiers guarding the pass, no matter what they were, or what they were, even if they were ordinary soldiers. Liu Xian would give some money, and the right to treat it as wine money for inviting them to drink.

What Liu Xian saved was the one that was charged at a few percent of the total amount of goods in the caravan when passing through some passes. Buy wine and food for those officers and soldiers guarding the customs for some money, these are small money, but you can have some good relations with them, and make a familiar face, which is convenient for Liu Xian to act in the future.

Or, these relationships will not be used in the future, and these soldiers guarding the pass may not be here in the future, but they can spend a little money to do big things, and be prepared.

In addition, Liu Xian and Yue He, together with Yuehe, showed their identities to those soldiers guarding the pass, and in comparison, Liu Xian's identity was naturally noble. A noble little marquis, but willing to get acquainted with them, these ordinary officers and soldiers, this really flattered those officers and soldiers, plus Liu Xian is modest and polite, amiable and bold, so that they are deeply impressed by Liu Xian and remember Liu Xian.

In this way, we arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass two days later.
