Chapter 48: Unhappy Breakup
The reason why Xie Ping decided to see Chen Xiaoting was because he still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could make peace with Chen Xiaoting and resolve the conflict.
The leaders below have different thoughts, although Xie Ping is the strongest, but if the people below join forces, they can also pull him off the horse.
At noon the next day, when Chen Xiaoting and his subordinates rushed to Ziyun Restaurant, Xie Ping had not yet come.
So Chen Xiaoting could only order tea first, sat at the window on the second floor, and carefully looked at Xining Street.
Chen Xiaoting did not wear an official uniform today, and he looked a little less aggressive, so that the negotiation could be successful.
Ziyun Restaurant is located on Xining Street, which is the property of Sancai.
Chen Xiaoting chose this place to talk, there was a little bit of goodwill, and he also wanted to have a good talk with Xie Ping.
But Xie Ping's idea is not to give money, but Chen Xiaoting has to pay the price, and it is very unlikely that the two will reach an agreement through negotiation.
Although Chen Xiaoting knew this, he still adhered to the principle of salute first and then soldier, so he decided to make an appointment to meet Xie Ping.
After sitting on the cold bench for a while, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but ask, "Zeng Chun, are you sure that Xie Ping has received the news and said that he is coming?" ”
Zeng Chun dared to be careless about this, and said with certainty: "My lord, that person replied yesterday that he did say that Xie Ping was coming!" ”
"My lord, the surname Xie won't be teasing us, right?" At this time, Zhang Ertie said angrily.
Chen Xiaoting was about to speak, when he saw more than a dozen men pouring out of the street, one of whom was surrounded in the middle.
Chen Xiaoting just glanced at it, and knew that the person in the middle was Xie Ping, and at this time, Xie Ping also glanced at Chen Xiaoting's location.
"Don't panic, people aren't coming!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to say hello to Xie Ping.
This time Xie Ping came out to talk about things, and the powerful person only brought Zhang Wu, and the other three masters all shirked it.
Just such a detail, Xie Ping knew that these three people really had the intention of being superior, otherwise they should have put the overall interests of the gang first and come with him at this time.
Now let him come alone, just to put all the responsibility on him, and when something happens, I will attack him.
"What a bastard!" Xie Ping scolded in his heart.
At this time, I heard Zhang Wu say angrily on the side: "Big brother, you see that the surname Chen is too unscrupulous, and he is still waving blindly in our territory, just like we are the younger brothers!" ”
Xie Ping ignored Zhang Wu, this five-master was just used by him to dictate power, which did not mean that he really valued Zhang Wu.
…………
When Xie Ping and his entourage entered the inn, Chen Xiaoting came to the staircase, which was regarded as welcoming the arrival of Lord Xie.
When Xie Ping appeared at the bottom of the stairs, Chen Xiaoting smiled and said, "Thank you for your great presence, it's a great honor to be here...... Please! ”
Xie Ping's face was gloomy, and he just said coldly: "A grass people, you can't afford to be Lord Chen's self-proclaimed subordinates!"
The two of them only said these two words, and they were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Chen Xiaoting's face did not change, and after Xie Ping went upstairs, the two sat down together.
The two "big shots" were talking, and the younger brothers of both parties were not present, and Chen Xiaoting and Xie Ping were in the box.
There was only a pot of tea on the table, which looked shabby, but it wasn't here for dinner today.
The two of them just sat like this, but Chen Xiaoting said straight to the point: "Thank you, Master, I came to you today to discuss the matter of Xining Street!"
Xie Ping didn't speak, since Chen Xiaoting spoke about this first, he might as well let him finish his words first.
Chen Xiaoting continued: "Now that the yamen has sent an errand, we are also acting on orders, don't blame the master of the meeting!" ”
Who knew that Xie Ping said: "Since it is assigned by the Yamen, I don't know if it is the poor of Zhou Baihu's faction, or Zhang Zongqi?" ”
Xie Ping received the news and knew that it was not the two of them who meant.
Chen Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, and Xie Ping asked what he meant by this.
Without waiting for him to figure it out, Xie Ping spoke again: "If Zhou Baihu speaks, then he should cooperate with ......."
Xie Ping didn't say the latter words, but the meaning was very clear, except for Zhou Bai, he didn't buy it, even Zhang Zhenshan.
It is also said that the three major gangs in Guangde City all follow their own rules of not paying for one acre and three points of land, how can they obediently take money because of Chen Xiaoting's words.
It is precisely because of the excessive involvement that Xie Ping resolutely resisted Chen Xiaoting, if he broke this rule during his tenure, how could he gain a foothold in Sancai.
"Thank you, Master, what does it mean to divide the Yamen of the hundred households into each other, as good people...... Self-cooperation is! Chen Xiaoting's tone became cold.
He didn't expect Xie Ping to be so resolute, and he didn't even sell Zhang Zhenshan's face in his words.
Who knew that Xie Ping smiled and said: "Since you want to collect the regular money from Xining Street, what is the use of you only looking for me, Captain Chen, other chambers of commerce on the street should also be invited!" ”
Chen Xiaoting picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea and said: "Who doesn't know that Xining Street, you thank the Lord for speaking effectively, as long as you agree to cooperate, can other people still not know the current affairs?" ”
Not wanting to continue talking nonsense, Xie Ping asked: "Since you want to collect money, how much do you plan to collect on Xining Street?" ”
Chen Xiaoting corrected: "Thank you, Master, I didn't accept it...... It's a hundred yamen who collect money! ”
Then he continued: "The meaning of the yamen, Xining Street every month...... One hundred taels of silver! ”
There was silence in the room, and after Xie Ping knocked on the table, he immediately spoke: "Captain Cheng, I'll give you fifty taels, and that's it!" ”
Xie Ping didn't know what contradictions there were in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, he didn't want to involve himself, he knew the danger inside.
But he can't go along with Chen Xiaoting's wishes, then he won't be able to gain a foothold in Sancai, which will also make him lose everything.
So he thought of a compromise and gave Chen Xiaoting thirty taels of silver to settle Chen Xiaoting.
In fact, if it was really calculated according to Chen Xiaoting's one hundred taels, he would only get an extra twenty taels of silver every month, and now Xie Ping would take fifty miles at a time to block Chen Xiaoting.
Chen Xiaoting slowly put down the teacup, Xie Ping couldn't get an answer from his expression, so he was waiting for Chen Xiaoting to speak.
He was confident that the conditions he proposed were very generous, because the fifty taels of silver were given to Chen Xiaoting alone.
Chen Xiaoting smiled and said word by word: "I'm sorry, I want to ...... every month." One hundred taels of silver! ”
Xie Ping's face suddenly fell, and his breath couldn't help but become a little thicker, only to see him stand up and say, "Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it!" ”
Chen Xiaoting also stood up, still calmly said: "Master Xie, you are a smart person, you should understand the truth that the people do not fight with the officials!" ”
Who knew that Xie Ping laughed and said: "I, Xie Ping, have lived for more than 30 years, and I have walked more bridges than you have walked, and I still want you to teach me?" ”
"Young man, don't think that you are dealing with our three talents, you are against the entire Guangde Mansion!" Xie Ping said coldly.
Chen Xiaoting patted his sleeve, and then said: "You are a good person, you can't represent Guangde Mansion!" ”
Both of them tested each other's bottom line, knowing that it would never be possible to negotiate, and Chen Xiaoting did not have such a good attitude at this time.
I saw him walk to the door of the box, and then looked back and said to Xie Ping: "Master Xie, I came in civilian clothes today, and next time we meet...... I'm wearing an official uniform! ”
Threats, naked threats!
Xie Ping was furious in his heart, and then he also threatened: "Aren't you afraid that you can't get out of this restaurant today?" ”
Chen Xiaoting had already stepped out of the door, and said as he walked: "You can try it!" ”
Try it? Of course Xie Ping didn't dare to try, except for those who didn't want to live in this world, no one dared to attack Jinyiwei in broad daylight.
may have heard the noise upstairs, and when Chen Xiaoting walked down the stairs, more than a dozen men with three talents in the lobby immediately surrounded him, and the momentum was terrifying.
Zeng Chun and the others also quickly came behind Chen Xiaoting, and they confronted the people of the three talents opposite.
The momentum of the group of people on the opposite side is naturally extraordinary, but compared with the big scene experienced by Chen Xiaoting in his previous life, it is not much worse.
I saw him pointing at these people, but he still said calmly: "What...... You want to rebel? ”
Knowing the identity of Chen Xiaoting's Jinyi Guard, the two rebels were indeed overwhelming.
