"This Qu Shuai, you're finally here!"

After fighting with the Yellow Turban Army for so long, Cai Mao also knows the division of positions in the Yellow Turban Army.

And he was arrested by Liu Zheng, so he was naturally quite impressed by Liu Zheng.

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng coming, he knew that if he wanted to live, only Liu Zheng could open his mouth and speak.

"This is Cai Mao, General Cai?"

Liu Zheng asked knowingly, and responded to Cai Mao in an inquiring tone.

Cai Mao immediately nodded.

"Yes, yes, I'm Cai Mao."

"What are you looking for me?"

Liu Zheng didn't get straight to the point and asked Cai Mao about the matter of ransom people with money, although he knew that Cai Mao came to him to buy his life and wanted Liu Zheng to let him go.

But businessmen don't expose their bottom line at the beginning.

Even if Liu Zheng really wanted to make a deal with Cai Mao, he wouldn't show it at the beginning.

This is not conducive to him and Cai Mao's bargaining.

Only if he was very unhappy first, Cai Mao would spare no effort to survive and put down enough chips to let Liu Zheng let him go.

"This Qu Shuai, I want to know what you want to do with us when you arrest us here and detain us, whether you want to die or live, if you want to kill us, can you give us a way to be happy? If you just want to imprison us, then it is better to put this sentence on the table and say whether we can have a chance to live. ”

Cai Mao is actually not afraid of death, but being imprisoned in the dungeon like this by Liu Zheng is too aggrieved, if Liu Zheng wants to kill him, Cai Mao will never complain, after all, the defeated will not be qualified to talk about life and death.

So he just wanted to find out in Liu Zheng's mouth what Liu Zheng's purpose was.

"I have no grievances with you, if I want to kill you, it is not necessary, but if I let you go like this, you are officers and soldiers after all, and I am inherently hostile, so I let you go like this, I promised, and my men and horses may not agree."

Liu Zheng knew what Cai Mao meant, so he immediately responded to Cai Mao, and did not say that Cai Mao must be killed, so smart people should be able to hear from Liu Zheng's words, Liu Zheng is giving Cai Mao a step down, and let Cai Mao take the ransom by himself.

Sure enough, Cai Mao was a smart person, he heard the meaning of Liu Zheng's words, and immediately showed a hint of joy on his face, and immediately asked Liu Zheng.

"So, Qu Shuai is willing to let me wait?"

"It's not impossible to let you go, it depends on whether you can go to the Tao or not."

Liu Zheng spoke again, this time he made his intentions more obvious.

has been in the officialdom all year round, and Cai Mao naturally heard what Liu Zheng meant.

"On the road, if Qu Shuai is willing to let me go, I am willing to pay five hundred gold to honor Qu Shuai and Qu Shuai's many brothers."

As soon as Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words, he quickly calculated in his heart.

As far as he knew, gold and silver were not the main currency in circulation in this day and age.

Although gold is in circulation, it is generally owned by high-ranking officials and nobles, while the currency owned by ordinary people is five baht.

The five-baht coin, in fact, is usually the copper coin that modern people say, the outer circle, the copper coin with a square hole inside, and because it is engraved with the word five baht, it is called the five-baht coin.

A thousand five-baht coins are also called consistent, or a wield.

As for gold and silver, the unit is calculated according to the catty, but the catty at this time is not the same as the modern catty.

At this time, the weight of the catty is probably only half of the weight of the modern catty.

As for the exchange ratio of gold and five-baht money, in fact, Liu Zheng is not too clear, after all, he has never received gold, and he has been in this troubled world for so long, in fact, it is just some savings of five baht.

But he had heard that one gold was worth at least a few thousand dollars.

And Cai Mao, this guy, is 500 gold, it is conceivable that this guy's family is still very rich.

You know, when a person goes to a hotel to have a light meal, it is only 30 yuan, 500 gold, what is the concept?

I'm afraid that 500 gold is money that many people can't earn in a lifetime.

Although Liu Zheng was surprised to hear that Cai Mao was willing to take out so much money for his acquaintance, Liu Zheng still pretended to be very dissatisfied.

"That's it?"

Liu Zheng frowned, expressing great dissatisfaction.

And Cai Mao knew when he saw Liu Zheng's expression that Liu Zheng wanted the lion to open his mouth, and he was just about to quote the price higher.

But he heard that in the opposite room, Qin Jie angrily scolded this side.

"Cai Mao, what are you doing, do you want to be an enemy, you coward, if you dare to pay for your life, I will punish you!"

Qin Jie is not a person like Cai Mao who is greedy for life and afraid of death, as soon as he saw that Cai Mao actually wanted to give money to the Yellow Turban Army in order to survive, he immediately shouted angrily.

Qin Jie's words made Liu Zheng, Cai Mao and the others look ugly, and they turned around and looked at Qin Jie.

"What's the noise, it's not your turn yet, if you shout again, your price will double in a while!"

Liu Zheng didn't have a good face for Qin Jie.

immediately yelled at Qin Jie, but Qin Jie screamed even more fiercely.

"Bah, traitor, the old man will not give you a penny at all, if you want the old man's life, you can take it at any time, but if you want me to give you money, you don't have to think about it, I would rather die than give in."

Qin Jie still had a backbone, and he didn't seem to be afraid of death, so he yelled angrily at Liu Zheng.

What she said made Cai Mao break out in a cold sweat, but she sneered.

"Hmph, Qin Jie is too guarded, you are not afraid of death, I am terrible, if you die, the court will naturally appease your family, but if I die, our Cai family will decline in Jingzhou. So you can die, but I can't. ”

Cai Mao was originally very dissatisfied with Qin Jie, and the two themselves also had some gaps, and at this time, Qin Jie angrily reprimanded Cai Mao, which made Cai Mao even more unhappy.

He finally waited for Liu Zheng, and he could have a chance to let him live, if he was disturbed by Qin Jie, where would he cry.

So immediately made a stand with Qin Jie, and wanted Liu Zheng to know that he and Qin Jie were not of the same mind, even if Liu Zheng wanted to blame, he could only blame Qin Jie alone, and he would not be involved.

"Qin Jie Taishou, if you say so, you will have no use value for me, I can't say it, I can only ...... you"

Liu Zheng was halfway through his sentence and did not continue.

As soon as Cai Mao heard Liu Zheng's meaning, she suddenly had an idea, and immediately said a word to Liu Zheng.

"This Qu Shuai, if you kill Qin Jie, I am willing to pay an extra two hundred gold!"

Cai Mao's words made Liu Zheng stunned, and immediately looked at Cai Mao in surprise.
