When Xia Banshan returned to his room, Butler and Tug were already waiting here.

"Mr. Xia has worked hard, please take a seat."

Tuge hurriedly made tea for Xia Banshan, showing great respect.

Although Butler and Tug were Tatars, and Xia Banshan was Han, they had always been respectful to the Han Chinese.

This time, they were captured by the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses, and they thought they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was Xia Banshan who saved them.

As a result, the two returned intact, and as long as they arrived in Ping'an Prefecture tomorrow, they could return to the city of Blackwater in Tartary from there.

This time, they have gathered important information, and Lord Aoki Lin will definitely reward the two of them.

"You guys also sit down, this time with me from birth to death, advance and retreat together, it's not easy, we will be brothers in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for saving your life. We Tatars have always had clear grievances and kept our promises. As long as Mr. Xia can use us, he is desperate, and our brothers don't blink an eye. ”

"Hehe, since you are brothers, I want you to live a good life, and I won't ask you to do the desperate things."

Xia Banshan is a Han Chinese, but he has long taken refuge in the Tatars.

He is indeed Xia Shouzhong's fellow countryman, but he is not really related to Xia Shouzhong. It's just that in terms of generation, he is Xia Shouzhong's nephew.

After Xia Shouzhong gained power, many fellow villagers went to the capital to defect, and they all got some benefits.

Xia Banshan originally did business in Jinling, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, and had some money in his hands.

He heard that many people made a lot of money in Ping'an Prefecture, so he ventured to Ping'an Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, the business in Ping'an Prefecture was not easy to do, and he lost all his capital here, and he didn't even have money to go home.

Just when he was unaccompanied and desperate, Qin Mulin found him, took him to Blackwater City, and introduced him to Babur, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Tatars.

Babur not only treated him as a guest, but also gave him a large sum of money to flip through the book. and gave him a large quantity of wool and skins on credit.

With Babur's support, Xia Banshan successfully turned over.

Not only made a fortune, but also revitalized the business in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

It was from that time that Xia Banshan established an intimate relationship with Babur.

Using this connection, he made a lot of money in his business with the Tatars.

With the money, Xia Banshan returned to the capital and gave Xia Shouzhong 50,000 taels of silver.

Because of his generosity, Xia Shouzhong appreciated it. So Xia Shouzhong handed over his money to Xia Banshan to do business for him.

Xia Banshan's business in Dade and the capital was naturally taken care of by Xia Shouzhong.

The Tatars have Babur there, and Dade has Xia Shouzhong here, so Xia Banshan has become a figure who turns his hands into clouds and hands for rain.

Drinking water and thinking of the source, his fortune all depends on Babur. Under the half-threat and half-lure of Babur, Xia Banshan became a spy for the Tatars.

This time, he got the news that Butler and Tug had been arrested and had arrived at the military headquarters, and he immediately took action. took out 20,000 taels of silver and gave it to the squire of the military department who undertook the matter, Hou Xiaolian, the grandson of Hou Guogong.

Under the banner of Xia Shouzhong, he asked Hou Xiaolian to open up to Butler and Tugwang.

As for the reason, it is said that the two are businessmen under him, just a shopkeeper and a partner.

There was Xia Shouzhong's banner here, and the money was collected there, and the handwriting on the road guide and clothes disappeared, so Hou Xiaolian released Butler and Tug on the grounds that there was a reason for the incident and no substantiated reason.

It is precisely because of this that the two are grateful to Xia Banshan.

The reason why he spent such a big price to rescue the two naturally had his own plans.

One is to protect yourself.

After the two Butlers are exposed, they are bound to confess themselves. At worst, he lost his life, and at worst, he couldn't stay in Dade in the future.

The second is to give an explanation to Babur and Aokilin. Although he spent 20,000 taels of silver, Babur would not treat himself badly.

The third reason is that Butler and Tug owe themselves a great favor, and in the future, as long as they need it, as soon as they open their mouths, they will sell their lives.

As for saying that he would not let the two of them die for him, even he didn't believe in this kind of nonsense.

Naturally, he wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary. When it is really necessary for the two of them to die, he will never be polite.

People don't die for themselves, their own lives and glory and wealth are the most important. Even a traitor can do it, and he still cares about the lives of two Tatars? Joke.

"Why did Mr. Xia take the initiative to befriend that Jia Lian? He's Jary's brother, huh? ”

Butler wondered.

He hates Jia Rui to death now, and he can't wait to kill Jia Lian together.

But Xia Banshan actually took the initiative to make friends with the enemy's brothers, which made him feel puzzled. The Han people do things differently from the Tatars.

"Yes, sir, do you want to kill Jia Lian secretly?"

Tigs are even more incomprehensible.

He felt that as long as he was related to Jia Rui, he deserved to die.

"You don't understand that. This Jia Lian is useful to us, and it is very useful. ”

"I don't understand, please teach us."

"Well, I don't understand you either. First of all, the Jia family and the Yun family are world friends. The two families help and support each other. Jia Lian came to Yunguang. ”

"When he arrives here, Yunguang will definitely not treat him badly, and he will be able to know many secrets of the envoys of Ping'an Prefecture."

"What does Mr. mean is to find out the news from Jia Lian?"

Butler finally got it.

"Yes, exactly. Second, the Jia family has two dukes, there are noble concubines in the palace, and there is an uncle Wang Ziteng outside, who is good friends with Jia Lian, and in the future in Shenjing City, he will also have a place to rely on, and he can get a lot of news. ”

"I see, Mr. is really clever."

"So, we not only have to make friends with Jia Lian, but also help him make money."

"Help him make money?"

"Do you think Jia Lian came here just to be an official? Wrong, he's here to make money. They have a business here at home. ”

"Let's help him make money and deliberately befriend him. Let him be our man in the future. ”

"Sir is really smart, he can provide us with more information if he becomes our person."

"Sir, rest assured. From tomorrow onwards, we will be polite to him and do our best to please him. Coax him and tell him to give us more news. ”

Looking at Butler and Tuge's excited appearance, Xia Banshan couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

There are many people who provide information, where is he Jia Lian?

It's too wasteful to use Jia Lian like this.

The descendants of Rong Guogong, this identity is the most valuable.

If the descendants of Dade Rongguo Gong defected to Tatar, it would be a major blow to Dade's decency.

Hou Guogong's descendant, Hou Xiaolian, the squire of the military department, released the Tatar fine work. The descendants of Rong Guogong openly defected to Tatar, I think you still have any dignity?

However, Jia Lian alone is a little lighter, and it would be better if Jia Lian was brought in.

With such a major plan, Xia Banshan naturally wouldn't tell a little person like Butler.

He planned to propose this plan when he met with Babur, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

The king will definitely be interested.
