Chapter Twenty-Three: Begging for Silver
The restaurant was so noisy that Qi Liang didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly took a few bites of food and rushed back, but he wasted the good wine and good food on the table.
Stepping into the house, someone came to report: "Shizi! Master Zhou Quanbin has been waiting in the living room for a long time! ”
"What is he doing again?" Qi Liang didn't have a good breath, turned around and instructed Qian Yunfang: "Mr. go deal with him first, let him wait a little longer!" He walked towards Hao Chunxuan.
Lying comfortably in the bathtub, Qi Liang was wiping his body while thinking about Zhou Quanbin's intentions, now that his body temperature has dropped a lot, and his thinking has broadened, he guessed that Zhou Quanbin should have come for the matter of Mu Wangfu. After seeing the thunderbolt operation of the Efu Mansion, he should know how to respect people, he smiled mockingly, and the movements in his hands finally got faster.
He was not used to this kind of tub bath at first, and he was not used to the waiting of the slaves and maids next to him, but now it was much better, but he still insisted that no woman could stand next to him.
In ancient times, it was not convenient to take a bath, and the hair was not easy to wash, unlike the hair and body washed together in later generations, and the hair dried in a few minutes, and in this era, from washing to drying to tidying up, it was not possible to do it in the hot summer without half an hour, and now Qi Liang climbed out of the bathtub with his head crossed, his body was comfortable, but his hair was still oily.
With a shaved yin and yang head and a "pig tail", what's so nice about it? Qi Liang put down his braids and was secretly annoyed, he really doubted the aesthetics of the Manchurians. This can be regarded as a partial progress in sinicization.,Many Manchus still shave the head of the rat tail money (the whole head only has a piece of hair the size of a copper coin.,Comb a braid and drag it long.。 For the sake of beauty, Qi Liang saw several generals with that kind of head at the birthday banquet in Suofu that day, which was really funny.
After Zhou Quanbin waited for half an hour, Qi Liang came to the living room slowly.
"It's time to see the world!" Zhou Quanbin didn't know whether to laugh at himself or complain.
"It's a hot day, Lord Zhou has worked hard!" Qi Liang sat down in the main seat.
Zhou Quanbin went straight to the point, obviously waiting a little impatiently, and said, "Has the prince heard about it?" The day before yesterday, Mu Wang's Mansion was attacked in a private house in Xihutong, and more than 20 people inside were killed. He stared at Qi Liang without blinking, carefully observing Qi Liang's reaction when he heard this.
Qi Liang said unshockedly: "This matter has long been known to the prince, but I don't know that the people in the house are the remnants of the puppet Mu Wangfu, which is good for the son of the world to get rid of the trouble of his henchmen." ”
Zhou Quanbin couldn't find anything from Qi Liang's face, but he had such a ruthless hand in Beijing City, he had this ability, and he didn't want to be exposed, he didn't have to guess, he was stunned, and his mind was full of ups and downs: "One blow doesn't leave any traces, and the strength of this Efu Mansion is also a little stronger!" ”
Qi Liang glanced at it and smiled faintly, what he wanted was this effect, that is, it could not be recognized as being done by the Efu Mansion, and it would be known that it was done by the Efu Mansion.
Zhou Quanbin was in a trance, and said worriedly: "Shizi! This feud is big, and Mu Wangfu has issued a hero post, vowing to chase the murderer to the end and take revenge! ”
Qi Liang snorted coldly and said: "This prince and the pseudo-Mu Wangfu still have the hatred of being assassinated, although they suffered this misfortune, but this prince will still not let them go!" ”
Zhou Quanbin reminded: "Many heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes are willing to help Mu Wangfu, I heard that Mu Wangfu and Heaven and Earth will form a strategic alliance, and Heaven and Earth will also intervene in this matter!" ”
"Heaven and Earth Society?" Qi Liang was secretly surprised, is there really a heaven and earth meeting? He doesn't care about the heroes on the rivers and lakes to help Mu Wangfu, those are just a rabble, if it is as said in the novel, he has to take a serious look at the Tiandihui, although the Tiandihui is a gang organization on the rivers and lakes, but it is attached to the Zheng family in Taiwan and has a strong military background.
It is not so much that Mu Wangfu and the Heaven and Earth Society have formed a strategic alliance, it is more appropriate to say that the Mu Wangfu is gradually declining and has been attached to the Heaven and Earth Society, Qi Liang sneered again and again, which also shows that Mu Wangfu has fallen to the point that it is not even as good as a Jianghu gang.
"Shizi! The third prince of Zhu has always had a friendship with the Heaven and Earth Society......" Before Zhou Quanbin finished speaking, Qi Liang cut off and said: "If Lord Zhou has anything to say, just say it!" ”
Zhou Quanbin really didn't understand what was wrong with Wu Shizi, as if he had changed a person, he didn't eat soft and hard, he smiled embarrassedly, and said bluntly: "The third prince of Zhu hopes to get the support of the prince!" ”
Isn't it money? made it so complicated and almost killed Lao Tzu, Qi Liang was annoyed when he thought about it, and sneered: "Isn't the third prince Zhu a descendant of the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty?" How could he be short of money? ”
Zhou Quanbin said with dignity: "The third prince of Zhu is for the people of the world to get rid of ......"
Gotta get it! Qi Liang stopped Zhou Quanbin: "How much does it cost to say that Lord Zhou?" He always believed that it was necessary for the third prince of Zhu to exist as a restraining force against the Qing court.
Zhou Quanbin didn't expect Wu Shizi to be refreshed, and the lion opened his mouth and said: "One million taels of silver!" ”
Exercise! Do you think Lao Tzu opened a bank? Qi Liang suppressed the urge to beat Zhou Quanbin violently, and said, "Eighty thousand taels!" ”
Zhou Quanbin didn't think that he could really get one million taels of silver, but he didn't expect Qi Liang to be so stingy and only give eighty thousand taels, so he took a step back and said: "Five hundred thousand taels should still be given!" ”
Qi Liang said angrily: "I can only give eighty thousand taels, and there is no one tael more!" "This is tantamount to cutting his flesh, think about how dashing his life would be if he had 80,000 taels of silver in the Hereafter?
How can 80,000 taels be enough? The third prince of Zhu is short of a lot of money to make weapons! Zhou Quanbin begged: "Can the prince give more?" In terms of Mu Wangfu and the Heaven and Earth Society, the third prince of Zhu can help the prince ......"
Qi Liang once again cut off: "Lord Zhou! Do you want 80,000 taels of silver? If you want to, go to the account room with Master Qian to get the money! Qi Liang was taboo about talking about Mu Wangfu, but Zhou Quanbin didn't understand it.
It's better than nothing, 80,000 taels of silver is also a huge amount of money for ordinary people, Zhou Quanbin stood up: "Xie Shizi!" ”
Qi Liang turned to Qian Yunfang on the side and said, "Please take Master Zhou to get the money!" Then he said to Zhou Quanbin: "I have one more condition!" ”
"On what terms?" Zhou Quanbin asked.
Qi Liang said: "I hope that the third prince of Zhu will not act rashly in the capital within a year!" He was worried that Third Prince Zhu would affect his escape plan.
Zhou Quanbin said: "It is advisable for the prince to say this matter to the third prince of Zhu face to face!" ”
Qi Liang said: "It's okay to meet, you can tell me!" "The third prince of Zhu is useful to keep, and if the relationship is too deep, it is easy to be exposed. He said: "In addition, you also reminded the third prince of Zhu, now the wind is tight!" ”
Zhou Quanbin thought for a long time before he understood the meaning of the tight wind, and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Shizi for reminding me!" He turned around and followed Qian Yunfang to the account room.
"If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, it's useless to call yourself a hero!" Qi Liang chewed on this sentence and walked towards his small study, and the little sixth son behind him asked curiously: "Master!" Who is Chen Jinnan? At this time, Gui Ming happened to come over, and Qi Liang didn't answer Xiao Liuzi but asked curiously: "Gui Ming!" How is Chen Jinnan's kung fu? Is it really as tall as the legend says? ”
Monk Gui Ming's second zhang was puzzled, bowed down and said, "Son! The subordinates don't know who Chen Jinnan is? ”
Qi Liang was stunned and said strangely: "You don't know Chen Jinnan? Isn't Chen Jinnan the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society? ”
Gui Ming shook his head blankly: "The chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society is Cai Dezhong, I don't know who Chen Jinnan is!" ”
There is no Wei Xiaobao in this world, but there is a Heaven and Earth Society, and there is a Heaven and Earth Society but there is no Chen Jinnan, Qi Liang smiled bitterly, he made the mistake of inertial thinking again. "How is this Cai Dezhong's martial arts?" He asked.
Gui Ming replied: "Cai Dezhong was born in Shaolin since he was a child, and he is a strong martial artist, and he is one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes!" ”
Qi Liang glanced at it and asked with interest, "How do you compare to it?" ”
Gui Ming said honestly: "Although the subordinates have never met and fought with Cai Dezhong, the subordinates think that they are not against him!" ”
"Is it just because of rumors?" Qi Zhen disagreed.
Gui Ming was ashamed and said: "His subordinates once fought with a martial artist and lost to him, and he was defeated by Cai Dezhong, so Gui Ming should not be as far as Cai Dezhong!" ”
Qi Liang didn't care, he had seen the martial arts of this era, no matter how powerful a person was, he couldn't beat the crowd, let alone the bow and arrow.
"How much does Gui Ming know about heaven and earth?"
Gui Ming replied: "My subordinates are here to report to the prince about the Heaven and Earth Society, and to find out that the Mu Wangfu has formed an alliance with the Heaven and Earth Society!" ”
Qi Liang nodded, this information was not too late, only a few hours later than Zhou Quanbin, who knew about it, and it was already very indicative of Gui Ming's ability.
"I already know about this matter, you send me a copy of the information about the Heaven and Earth Society!" Qi Liang instructed, "In addition, from today onwards, you should also start paying attention to the gangs and martial arts people in the rivers and lakes, and establish corresponding personnel files!" ”
Gui Ming obeyed.
