Chapter 60: The Helplessness of the Thorn History
Originally, he was still smiling and trying to climb the big tree of Shouwang with three thousand taels of silver, but now he was almost shocked by Li Qing's words and collapsed to the ground on the spot, looking at his flattering smile that had not yet had time to disperse and the shocked look on his face, the expression on the old man's face at this moment was so wonderful and exciting, if it weren't for the old man's surrender to officialdom and vicissitudes, he was so tossed by Li Qing, and he was seriously injured if he didn't die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The old man looked at Li Qing in front of him with a wry smile and said tentatively: "King Shou, Your Highness, three thousand taels is indeed the limit that the lower officials can bear, and the lower officials' annual income is only just one hundred taels of silver, and now His Royal Highness has asked the lower officials to suddenly collect five thousand taels of silver, and the lower officials really can't do it!" ”
That's five thousand taels of silver, not five thousand carrots, and even if it's five thousand carrots, if you give them to others for no reason, you will feel pain, although you are not an iron rooster, but you have always taken money from others, and now the situation is completely opposite, you give money to others, and you have to greet each other with a smile.
If it weren't for the identity of the young man in front of him, he would have scolded him with the character of the old man, where would he talk so much nonsense to him...
If Li Qing believed him, what the hell? From the information collected by the Xuanwu Secret Guard yesterday, it can be seen that the Qizhou Thorn Shi in front of him must be a ruthless master, for so many years, the old man does not know how much people's hard-earned money has been made, if it were not for the urgency of time, Li Qing would definitely find a way to let him spit out a lot of words he ate.
The old man's excuse Li Qing had already expected that if it weren't for this, Li Qing would not have ordered the Xuanwu secret guards to rush to Qizhou City one day in advance to collect evidence, looking at the old man's "wonderful" face, Li Qing casually handed over the materials that Huang Yun handed over to him last night and fell down in front of the old man, and said faintly: "This king advises you to see these things clearly and then consider whether to help this king raise these silver taels!" ”
Originally, the old man was still puzzled, but when he heard Li Qing's words, he suddenly smiled disdainfully, and sighed secretly, just a few dozen pieces of paper can let him take the initiative to help him raise five thousand taels of silver, and the Shouwang in front of him is a little whimsical, after all, it is too tender, even if the city is deep, there is no need to be afraid.
It's just that when the first line of words on the local paper came into view, the original disdain in the old man's heart was swept away, and the old man's already very "wonderful" face became more exciting in an instant, and the embarrassment became more and more obvious, looking at his trembling hands, Li Qing could imagine how angry he was in his heart, and think about it, there is such a son who is not angry and cheats everywhere, and the old man has not been angry until now, which is enough to see how "optimistic and open-minded" the old man is.
In fact, the old man still has a general understanding of what his son did, after all, in the past, the old man even personally took action to settle things for his son, but until this moment the old man finally knew that he knew too little about his son after all, looking at dozens of pieces of paper in his hand, white paper and black letters, dense, the old man no longer had the courage to look at it, after all, the old man still underestimated the extent of his son's "disaster to the country and the people"!
If it weren't for the fact that it was his only son who did these things at this moment, if it was someone else, the old man would probably have erased his existence with his own hands, even with the old man's cultivation, in the face of such a crime, the old man had a kind of impulse to roll his eyes and not wake up. With the old man's understanding, he naturally would not think that so many crimes in front of him were forged by the Shou King in front of him.
Although most of what his son did he didn't know very well, he still had an impression from one or two of them, although most of them had been settled by himself, but if the Shouwang in front of him was really determined to track it down to the end, the old man also knew that with a local official from the third grade, he could not cover the sky with one hand in front of Shouwang, one of the ten kings, and blind the eyes and ears.
If it is changed to other princes and grandsons, the old man can still try to get by, but yesterday he has seen the methods of the young man in front of him, and the old man's plan has already been thrown to Java by him.
At this moment, the old man looked at the young man in front of him with only deep fear, the young man in front of him had just entered the city yesterday, but early this morning, he was able to come up with so much evidence; , With the old man's current strength, if these evidences are carefully investigated, it may take three or five days to be able to do what Shouwang did.
However, what the old man will not forget is that the young man in front of him used only one night to check the things that he could cover up clearly, which is enough to see how extraordinary his means are, I don't know how extraordinary the means are, if the old man is not bad, behind King Shou, there should be a more mysterious and powerful force.
Because, yesterday, the inn where King Shou stayed was already surrounded by the old man's eyeliner, which was called protection, but it was actually surveillance; Even if the young man in front of him found out, the old man had already thought of a countermeasure. But what is strange is that since the report of his subordinates, since King Shou and his party entered the inn yesterday, they have never been found to come out.
The Tsing Yi warriors beside King Shou have not gone out, but at this moment, King Shou can hand over so much evidence to himself, it is obvious that in Qizhou City, there is a mysterious force working for the young man in front of him, and as the leader of Qizhou City, Qizhou City is mixed with such a terrible force, and he is not even aware of it.
This is just to help the young man in front of him collect information, if one day, the Shou King in front of him sees that he is unhappy, and directly orders this force to kill himself, the old man will not have the slightest suspicion, with today's tube in the leopard, the means of this mysterious force are extraordinary, if Li Qingzhen really wants to get rid of himself, then he will definitely not see the rising sun tomorrow.
Originally, it was thought that with the total number of servants and servants of the Assassin's Mansion of nearly 200 people, the old man also thought that he still had a little resistance in the face of this Shou King, (but if the old man was not forced to helplessness) the old man would not do this.
After all, daring to confront the current Tang Dynasty prince requires not only a confrontation in force, but also courage, to put it bluntly, it is the courage of a madman, after all, this is not just a momentary refreshment, after all, it may be that the nine clans are wiped out to pay for the impulse at that time.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Li Qing forcibly "took over" the evidence in the old man's hand and said with a smile: "What, can Liu Tingshi help this king now?" "If you don't help this king, if this king accidentally hands these over to his father, when the time comes, my father will be angry and do something, even if this king wants to help you, there is no way. When Li Qing said the word "help", his tone was particularly long.
Hearing Li Qing say this, the old man couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, even if the old man had already exercised a moody and indescribable mentality after going through the ups and downs of officialdom all the year round, he couldn't help but slap the table and scold, but it was still very difficult for the old man to suppress this tempting impulse, and said with a smile on his face: "The lower official will definitely live up to it, entrusted by King Shou, five thousand taels of silver, and the lower official will immediately prepare for His Royal Highness." It's just that everyone present can see that there is a lot of reluctance under that smile.
Contrary to Li Qing's expectations, the old man did not delay the time this time, perhaps the most urgent thing in the old man's heart at this moment is to send away the plague god in front of him, the old man is afraid that if Li Qing stays for another day, the old man is afraid that today's five thousand taels will become eight thousand taels or even ten thousand taels, and when the time comes, he will not be able to find a place to cry.
At this moment, the only thing the old man thought in his heart was to send the elegant young man in front of him away, no matter what the cost...
