023. No one is easy
Zhao Fengming didn't come because he was sick, and Nangong Pu didn't think he would come, it wasn't him who made the appointment, but he didn't expect Luo Yunshi to go to the banquet alone.
The box is small and delicate, and the small round table can only seat a maximum of four people. However, there were only Nangong Pu and Luo Yunshi in the room.
Nangong Pu poured wine for Luo Yunshi, and said with a smile: "They trust you very much." ”
"Everybody's just on the same page." Luo Yunshi picked up the wine glass and saluted.
Nangong Pu smiled and cleansed, "So you want to drive the Nangong clan out of Jingzhou?" ”
"The Nangong family has a big business, it's just a Jingzhou, there is no reason to stay."
"Back then, I talked with Master Hong Laotang for three days, and finally decided to cooperate with each other in Jingzhou." Nangong Pu held the wine glass as if he was reminiscing.
"It's a pity that Old Hall Master Hong passed away five years ago."
"However, in your current way, even if I don't do anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to expel Jingzhou Santang." Nangong Pu said with a smile.
Luo Yunshi smiled, "How do you know that cutting off the way to wealth is not the first step?" ”
"The Nangong family has a big business, just one Jingzhou." Nangong Pu took a sip of wine, "Yanyin is indeed our biggest benefit in Jingzhou. Let's open the conditions. ”
"All."
Nangong Pu laughed, "Then there is nothing to talk about." Tomorrow, the master of the Qin hall will go to hand over the silver, 20,000 taels. ”
Luo Yunshi sighed and smiled, "I heard that the eldest young master, I checked Chengfeng Hall today?" Luo Mou had a suggestion, the eldest young master used the 20,000 taels to collect the property of Chengfeng Hall, which was more beneficial than handing over salt. ”
Nangong Pu nodded, as if thinking about it, and said, "It's a way." I'm not going to do that, though. Besides, I don't think you can afford to spend 100,000 taels to get all the salt. ”
"One hundred and twenty-seven merchants, five hundred taels per household, is sixty-three thousand five. Liu Xuanzhi 5,000, and the rest of Qifengzhuang. Do you think there's a problem? ”
"Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, yes, it's a good idea. But we don't do any good to give up all the salt. Nangong Pu shook his head.
"So, young master, really don't consider Luo's suggestion just now?"
"First, the Nangong clan will not withdraw from Jingzhou; Second, tomorrow the master of the Qin hall will pay 20,000 silver. As the saying goes, the sky is full of prices, and the money is paid back on the ground, so maybe I will accept it. Nangong Pu looked at Luo Yunshi with a smile.
"Okay," Luo Yunshi shrugged, "I hope that Hall Master Qin will not disappoint Da Shao, I believe that for Nangong Da Shao, it will never be difficult to raise 30,000 taels in three days." Otherwise, hehe....... ”
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock at the door, and an attendant walked into the door quickly, whispered a few words in Nangong Pu's ear, and bowed and withdrew.
Nangong Pu raised his head and stared at Luo Yunshi, with no smile on his face, "No wonder you went to the banquet alone." Cheng Zhaofeng led people to surround the Iron Knife Hall, was it Wu Xin or Lin Shi in the yamen? ”
"It's not right to say that. Before I came, I heard that there was a fugitive with strong martial arts in Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou government sent soldiers to arrest the fugitive, so there is nothing wrong with that, right? Besides, Senior Cheng has been working for the government recently, and he is also acting on orders, which is not wrong. As for the Iron Knife Hall, it can only mean that the fugitive ran to the wrong place, or maybe he didn't run wrong, who knows. Moreover, besiege but not attack, hehe, Da Shao, Jingzhou Mansion still gives Da Shao a lot of face. No, Dashao also sent people to surround the yamen, right? Luo Yunshi smiled.
"How can you say that the Iron Knife Hall has also run through the rivers and lakes, are those government soldiers?" Nangong Pu narrowed his eyes.
"As long as the Jingzhou Mansion recognizes it, of course, if the Iron Dao Hall can face this matter calmly, then there will be no casualties, after all, the government only needs that fugitive." Luo Yunshi seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, the eldest young master had better say hello to Hall Master Yang, recently, he is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, haha." Okay, the wine is almost drunk, and Luo said goodbye. Luo Yunshi arched his hand and got up and left.
After a while, Li Songran said angrily as soon as he entered the door: "What is the pursuit of fugitives, I simply want to surround them for three days and miss the salt subscription." Under the banner of Jingzhou Mansion, hmph, are you trying to force us to become traitors? Good calculation. ”
"At least one thing, he wasn't wrong. Yang Wentian was informed that he was not allowed to act rashly. ”
**********
Qi Fengzhuang, Lin Shi was anxious, in his opinion, Luo Yunshi's approach was simply a risk, and it was an exaggeration that Zhao Fengming actually agreed.
Not long ago, among the forty-five sects, the 17 schools of the so-called righteous path sect led by the Yijian faction proposed that they would no longer participate in Qi Fengzhuang's action against the Nangong clan. Their exit has a direct impact on morale.
And the so-called government soldiers are even more hanging, because, when it comes to the government soldiers, Pan Minyi gritted his teeth and did not borrow, not even the flag and clothes. Now among the people besieging the Iron Knife Hall, there is barely only Cheng Zhaofeng who has the status of the government, and that is a group training job sold for him after the banquet of guests in Qifengzhuang. Relying on the banner of Jingzhou Mansion's group training, I don't know how long I can bluff Qin Yongsen and Nangong Pu.
Therefore, after Cheng Zhaofeng led people to surround the Iron Sword Hall, the actual person sitting in the Jingzhou Mansion was replaced by Zhao Fengming. Everyone in Qifeng Village knows very well that the so-called siege of the Iron Dao Hall is one more risk a day; If you really want to do it, the Nangong clan is not at risk at all; If you are not careful, the one who bears the name of a traitor may be Qi Fengzhuang.
After Luo Yunshi came back, he did not meet Lin Shi, but went directly to his room.
One day, as long as he can surround for a day, because he bets that Nangong Pu will not be inactive, although before, neither Li Songran nor Nangong Pu had any actual means of coping, and even Hong Jipeng was arrested, which made Luo Yunshi very unhappy, if he continued to fail to react this time, then there was no need to do the rest of the matter, just admit defeat.
**********
Wu Xin sat in the back hall of Jingzhou Mansion, silently watching the boss Zhao Fengming and Pan Minyi, the master of Jingzhou Mansion, playing chess. Before, when I listened to all the plans of Luo Yunshi, I had always had objections to this step, because by this step, the goal of eighty percent of the salt introduction had been achieved, and the back was just the icing on the cake, but it was extremely risky. After all, no matter how weak Jingzhou Mansion is, it is also an official government, representing the rule of the imperial court, and at that time, the reason why it was not completely opposed was that if the Ren family used the Fuzhou Mansion to issue an official document, it would be implemented according to this step. Unexpectedly, Luo Yunshi really has this ability, and I have to wonder if there is any power behind him.
A few hours ago, Pan Minyi's resoluteness still left an impression. I thought that Luo Yunshi would give a second set of plans, but I didn't expect it to be hard at all. What I didn't expect was that Zhao Fengming actually agreed. Wu Xin only understood at this time that Luo Yunshi had given a promise, was it Baoqi Fengzhuang? I don't think so.
Outside Wu Xin's door, there were Qi Fengzhuang's subordinates everywhere. Zhao Fengming used Qi Fengzhuang as a bargaining chip. Is it to keep Zhao Rongrong? Thinking of this, Wu Xin suddenly felt a little sad. Could it be that Boss Zhao thinks that their brothers are not capable of giving Rong Rong a future? Wu brought a wry smile on his new face, how old is he this year? Lin Shi is the youngest of them, fifty-five, Boss Zhao is one round older than Lin Shi, what about himself? Rong Rong's future, I'm afraid that a few old brothers really can't give it.
Wu Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Fengming, whether it was money or life, it didn't mean much to Boss Zhao. It's just that I don't know if the boss has considered the ending of their brothers for the brothers. Wu Xin despised himself fiercely, and before returning to Qifengzhuang, the brothers had already arranged it. Until now, he has followed Zhao Fengming, for the sake of the brotherhood that has been in the past few decades. If the eldest brother wants to play like this, let's accompany everyone together.
It was late at night, and it was raining.
**********
Luo Yunshi got up very early, and the rain at night, I don't know if Cheng Zhaofeng can withstand the pressure, and I don't know how long the encirclement of the Iron Dao Hall can last, now I have to wait, wait for Nangong Pu to come and talk about the conditions. If you don't come today, you can only let the Iron Sword Hall pay 20,000 pieces of silver, and this is the end.
It wasn't until noon that Nangong Pu finally came.
"Huh? You don't look good. Nangong Pu's first words when he saw Luo Yunshi.
Anyone who hasn't slept much all night will probably have dark circles under their eyes. However, Luo Yunshi still sneezed in response to the occasion. "It rained last night, so I may have felt a little cold." A natural reply.
"Is it raining?"
Luo Yunshi was stunned and didn't answer.
Nangong Pu continued: "You will have a fever when you get drenched in the rain, have you drunk ginger tea?" ”
There was silence, and the sound of breathing could be heard in the whole living room. Finally, Luo Yunshi smiled a little awkwardly, "Let's talk about business." ”
Nangong Pu also seemed to be a little embarrassed and took a sip of tea and nodded, "Okay." Continue to drink tea, adjust your mood, and say, "Young Master Luo, as far as I know, the fugitive who infiltrated the Iron Sword Hall has already escaped. If so, do you think there is still a need for a siege? ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"There will be evidence in a moment. But before we do that, let's talk about the next steps. Nangong Pu was very calm.
"Follow-up? What do you want to talk about? ”
"You can't take all the salt. I'll take 20 percent, and you'll divide 80 percent. ”
"What's the difference between this and yesterday?" Luo Yunshi smiled.
"It's 28 points this year, after all, it's very troublesome to raise money. Also, Hong Jipeng is still in the prison of Jingzhou Mansion, this person has eaten too much, why don't you let it go early? Nangong Pu also smiled and proposed.
"Haha, Da Shao, the matter of the master of the Hong hall has nothing to do with the subordinates."
Nangong Pu nodded, "Yes, but no one from Fuzhou Mansion should never come." It's nothing more than 10,000 taels and those goods. Hong Jipeng's family is already ready to sell the house to make money, and it is estimated that 10,000 taels will be available within three days. It doesn't matter if the goods are there or not, just put those people back. After all, Hong Jipeng, as the hall master, is also responsible for his own actions. In the future, his life should not be too easy. What does Luo Gongzi think? ”
"As I said, this has nothing to do with you. Just salt leads to two or eight points? Hehe, Da Shao, the fugitive is still in the Iron Knife Hall. ”
"Or those shops that paid a deposit, which can be used as compensation. How is it? Leshuitang, to some extent, also contributed. Nangong Pu continued to open conditions.
Luo Yunshi shook his head, "It's not good to talk about this, let's turn over the hole cards." can also let Luo know where the problem is. ”
