Quan Yuren returned to the council and immediately went to find Lianbazan Qimu. The full name De cheered up and dealt with the government affairs that had accumulated in the state in recent days in the study. The father and son were busy with their own business, and the House finally functioned normally and returned to its original state.

Lao Chen sent the maid to the Wei Mansion in the name of her full name, this was the first time that Wei Rou received the attention of her husband, even though she knew their actual purpose in her heart, she still kept the person and hid it from Wei Gonglu.

After Wei Gonglu returned home, he immediately went to see Jiayue, who was still in a coma, and then ordered someone to clean the room, prepare meals, and welcome Mu Chen and his party who would return later.

In the council, Quan Yuren and Lianbazan Qimu negotiated behind closed doors, and the two had their own needs and tested each other.

"Your Lord, your injuries are getting better, do you need further treatment?"

"The pain is healed, thank you Prince Ren for your concern. Most of the missing teeth made Lianbazan Qimu's speech a little blurred, but he could barely hear it.

"Since the principal is no longer in trouble, then I will get straight to the point, how do you want to solve yesterday's incident?"

"My entire merchant group was killed, how dare you put forward any conditions, as long as it doesn't hurt my life, you can do what you say. ”

"Eh, what you said is serious, yesterday's incident, you and I are both at fault, in terms of death and injury, your merchant group is more serious, but in terms of impact, I, the lord of a city, can't even protect my people in front of everyone, and my reputation is discredited. Quan Yuren unceremoniously divided the fault equally, and blocked the mouth of Lianbazan Qimu who pretended to be pitiful and shirked responsibility.

"Since you have said so, then I will not beat around the bush, we will not pursue each other's events yesterday, you send me back to the wasteland as soon as possible, I will reorganize the merchant group, and come to trade after everything is ready. ”

"As the lord of a state, how can I let you go home empty-handed, besides, other state capitals are already ready to receive you, although there have been some episodes, but I am still confident that this trade will be successfully completed. Rest assured, I have prepared enough for you to trade with the cities. In Quan Yuren's opinion, this trade must be carried out, and if he is released back to the wasteland now, facing the questioning of returning empty-handed, he will definitely try his best to exonerate himself and put all the blame on Baoling City, and the wasteland will definitely put pressure on the human race. There is also a matter that involves the interests of other cities, and if Infinite City blames it, there will be no proper solution in the face of internal and external difficulties.

"I also want to complete this transaction, but just the carriage and horses will not help, the money prepared before the trip is in the hands of the alchemist of the Boundary Map Department, and when she dies, the money is gone. Lianbazan Qimu spread his hands and looked helpless.

"It's... It's okay, the cost of your purchase will be paid by me Baoling City for you, and you can pay it back next time you come. ”

"Oops... I understand your good intentions, but I brought out this money in front of everyone, and you can't solve the problem if you help me pay in advance. "Lianbazan Qimu didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was clear, if you want to continue trading, you have to pay the money.

"It's hard for me, Lord in charge, the procurement cost of the merchant group is not a small amount, and I can't afford it. Do you think this is okay, I will waive all the fees you have to buy in this state, and I will give you some grain, wine and silk..."

"It's not that I deliberately made things difficult for you, this trip, I am also dead, the money is gone, and I go back with a debt, I really can't explain it, and I returned empty-handed, and it is no different from accepting the punishment, so I won't bother Prince Ren to prepare. ”

"I know that the main purpose of your trip this time is to acquire Touyi, and I also know that you have a private deal with Chengping City, do you think this is okay, I will help you solve the matter of Touyi, and the rest..."

"How did Prince Ren know about this, could it be that you and Prince Li... If you can really give me the Piercing Wing for free, then it doesn't hurt for us to continue talking. "Lianbazan Qimu loosened, not to mention other materials, the Penetrating Wing is the lighting material that the Beijin Ministry urgently needs at the moment, and the loss caused by the inability of the Mine Valley to fully open is much larger than the amount of the merchant group procurement money he lost, if he can bring it back on time, then he will definitely be able to offset the merits and avoid punishment.

"Touyi is only produced by our Baoling Prefecture, and the transaction between you and my third brother must go through me, originally I only wanted to do a personal favor from it, but now the situation has to be..."Quan Yuren did not continue, but looked at Lianbazan Qimu with affirmative eyes, waiting for his reply.

Lianbazan Qimucai didn't care about the affairs between their brothers, whoever could meet his requirements would do business with whomever he wanted, and a life-threatening transaction would not care about any business ethics.

"No problem, no problem, isn't it just to continue trading, you just need to prepare the penetrating wings for me, and the rest is easy to say. He calculated in his heart that as long as he could get the highest value for free, the rest of the materials to be bought were small money. Except for the drinks, the rest of the food can be completely ignored or even purchased.

"Lord Lianbazan, there is one more thing I want to ask you, can you hide the truth about the death of the merchant group members after you return to the wasteland, and cut this matter off from Baoling City, so as not to implicate me. "The hundreds of wings that have been prepared have been transported to Chengping City, and Quan Yuren has to re-loot the villagers, and also provide free fleets, gifts, and purchase expenses out of his own pocket for the continuation of trade, such a large expense, he must minimize the impact, including not offending the wasteland people.

"Prince Ren, it's not that I don't want to help with this matter, but we passed through the Boundary Map Department before entering the border, and all six guards and twelve people were present at that time, and the Boundary Map Department was separated from Baoling Prefecture by a line, how do you say I can hide it?"

"This..."Quan Yuren didn't know how to answer for a while, just when he was full of ambition, there was a knock on the door, and the full name De had something to ask.

Quan Yuren asked Lianbazan Qimu to wait, and ordered two jugs of wine to be served, and he went out to see Quan Mingde, and the father and son found a place to carry the person, and talked in a low voice.

"Father, I just got the report, there was a fire in the border black market, there were many casualties, heavy losses, one death in the prison market and one missing, the fire was brought under control early this morning, the whole market has become a ruin, my son has sent someone to help deal with the aftermath, what do you think you need to pay attention to?"

Quan Yuren frowned at first, and then said to Quan Mingde with a smile: "Suspend the rescue, send someone to watch, and report back from time to time." The Father wants to use this to help us get away with our sin. ”

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I'll explain it to you later, you can arrange it first. ”

After the father and son separated, Quan Yuren returned to Lianbazan Qimu's room, he had drunk the two pots of wine, and was playing with the wine vessel idly, his expression was much brighter than before.

"I'm sorry, Director Lianbazan, I just received news that the black market is on fire, you came from that direction, I don't know..."

"This matter has nothing to do with our merchant group, although we stayed overnight in the black market, we never participated in the strife of your human race, but just borrowed it and left early in the morning. Lianbazan Qimu was afraid that he would link the matter to himself, and found a new reason to bargain.

"You misunderstood, misunderstood. Just now we talked about the cause of death of the members of the merchant group, since there is such a thing in front of us, why not take advantage of it. ”

"What do you mean, Prince Ren?"

"Everyone died in the fire, only you were able to escape, the merchant group had an accident in Baoling Prefecture, but you still spared no effort to continue trading. In this way, you will not only have an explanation when you go back, but also shirk your responsibility, and you may even be rewarded for your meritorious service. The relationship between our Baoling Prefecture and the wasteland will not change much, a God-given win-win situation. ”

"Wait, you wait, I know what you mean, but this matter is not something you and I can finalize here, thousands of people have witnessed what is happening in the square, how can you silence them. The Boundary Map tribes have a close relationship with the border dwellers, and I will know the truth as soon as I inquire casually, and I can't risk being exposed at any time to make up such a lie, so you should dispel this idea. ”

"Eh, what Lian Bazan is in charge of is wrong, the incident happened in Baoling City, and the border people will not know the specific details. Now that the black market has been burned, there is no such thing as a secret, and I have sent someone to monitor and block the news, and the Ministry of Boundary Maps must not know anything. As for the sources in the city, you can rest assured that I have been the lord of the city for thirty years, and I still have the confidence to control the mouths of my people. After Quan Yuren finished speaking, he smiled softly at Lianbazan Qimu, showing a confident look.

"But... No, it's still too risky, I only need to bring back the Penetrating Wing to reduce the guilt, but if the lies are exposed, it will really be over, and this plan will not benefit me at all, and the gains will outweigh the losses. "Lianbazan Qimu is not stupid, he can save his life, why should he continue to take risks. Even if both sides will benefit after success, the price of failure is very different, the wasteland is nothing more than no longer trading with Baoling State, but he is facing the punishment of losing his life, so he refuses, not wanting to risk his life.

"Well, you can wait in the city for a few days and see how the common people react before making a decision. If you change your mind, I'm willing to cover all costs, including the cost of your trips to other state capitals. Quan Yuren threw out the bait again, but this time Lianbazin Qimu didn't bite the hook, his expression didn't change at all, and he didn't pay attention to the proposal at all.

The two talked patiently for a long time, although they did not completely reach a consensus, but they also found a way to deal with it, Lianbazan Qimu wanted to avoid punishment after going back, and Quan Yuren hoped to calm things down as soon as possible, but neither of them mentioned Mu Chen, the core figure of the incident, and they didn't know what he would do.
