Chapter 410: A Million Dollars for a Life
Zhao Guangyi nodded: "It seems that these brothers are all free and easy people, and they don't dislike An Dalang because of his humble background." Master, what do you think of these seven brothers after you come into contact with them? ”
Tai Qin said solemnly: "Lord Fu Yin, except for An Dalang, these brothers are all talented!" They learned a lot of amazing skills in the West, so in just two years after returning to the Central Plains, they created a lot of foundation and accumulated a lot of net worth. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi was very curious. "Does the West also have a broad and profound knowledge? How did the official hear that it was all wild land? What amazing art are these brothers? ”
Tai Qin said: "The Sprinkle family doesn't know much about the specific matters, so let's wait a while, you can ask Du Dalei in person." ”
Zhao Guangyi picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea.
After a while, the door of the study opened, and several officials came in with Li Jilong and Du Dalei.
Du Dalei and Li Jilong were both drunk and hazy, their heads, faces, and bodies were full of water stains, and they were obviously woken up by the officials.
Tai Qin smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the two of them have suffered a little, these two bastards, they should clean them up.
Zhao Guangyi said to the officials: "It seems that they are still not sober enough, you take them out and continue to pour cold water to sober them up." Then take them to change their clothes, and bring them in again, and the official will question them. ”
The official agreed to come down and went out with Du Dalei and Li Jilong. Then Taiqin heard a commotion outside, obviously the officials were tossing Du Dalei and Li Jilong.
After about half an hour, the sound outside died down.
After more than ten minutes, the door of the study opened, and the officials pushed and shoved Du Dalei and Li Jilong in.
Zhao Guangyi and Taiqin couldn't help laughing when they saw the two of them.
"You're going too far, aren't you?" Zhao Guangyi said with a smile.
It turned out that after the officials woke up the two people with cold water, the clothes on the two people were soaked.
The officials took the two men to the backyard, then stripped them all naked and changed them into their own old clothes.
And Du Dalei and Li Jilong are both tall guys, and after changing into the old clothes of the officials, the sleeves and trouser legs are too short, just like the T-shirts and big pants of later generations, which looks very funny.
When Li Jilong saw Zhao Guangyi, he hurriedly lowered his head and stopped talking.
And Du Dalei, a guy who is not stingy, has not fully woken up from the wine. When he saw Tai Chin and a handsome young man sitting together and laughing, he said in a loud voice:
"Monk, who is he? Yes, it's you kid, you're laughing fart! You turtle son, you laugh at Lao Tzu again, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you! ”
Du Dalei shook his fist, and Tai Qin and Zhao Guangyi's faces turned green.
Tai Qin hurriedly stood up, walked up to Du Dalei, grabbed him by the neck, and then whispered, "Lord Du, don't talk nonsense. Do you still want to live? ”
Du Dalei was pinched very uncomfortably by Tai Qin, Tai Qin stuck his trachea, Du Da Lei couldn't speak at all, so he had to nod.
Tai Qin glared at Du Dalei fiercely and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! ”
Du Dalei gave in, and Tai Qin let him go.
Looking back, Zhao Guangyi's face was pale, and he stared at Du Dalei with an unkind face.
When Du Dalei saw Zhao Guangyi staring at him, he wanted to speak.
Tai Qin snorted, and Du Dalei immediately covered his mouth.
The atmosphere in the room was very awkward, and the officials stared at each other and did not dare to speak. Li Jilong hid in the corner like a quail.
Tai Qin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Please don't be angry, this Du Dalei must not have sobered up yet, and he is still talking nonsense." ”
Zhao Guangyi slowly spoke: "Turtle son? You say I'm a turtle son? Then my brother is also a turtle son? ”
Du Dalei obviously still didn't understand the situation, he rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, who are you? What's so great about your brother?
Tai Qin hurriedly gave Du Dalei a look: "Lord Du Shi, this is Lord Yin Zhao of Kaifeng Mansion, and his brother is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty today!" Why don't you hurry up and make amends to Lord Fu Yin! ”
Du Dalei listened to Taiqin's words and felt that his brain was a little messy, this guy who looked a little thin and didn't look amazing was Zhao Guangyi? Wow, I scolded him for being a turtle son just now, but no, his brother Zhao Da is also a turtle son! It's over, it's time to get in trouble! If you don't handle it well, Lao Tzu will have to move his head! But Lao Tzu has just gotten married, and he doesn't even have a son!
Duda Lei Khan has come down, and his brain is spinning to get out of this unfavorable situation.
He smiled wryly and bowed deeply to Zhao Guangyi.
"You have a lot of them, so don't be like a rough man like me. I drank too much today, my mouth didn't open the door, and the words I said were all gibberish, so please bear with me. ”
Zhao Guangyi ignored Du Dalei and said to Tai Qin:
"Master, this merchant has committed a great crime of disrespect by daring to insult the royal family, which is a heinous crime and should be punished by beheading. Tomorrow, the official will enter the palace to report to the imperial brother, and then he will be punished. ”
Tai Qin hurriedly defended Du Dalei: "Lord Fu Yin, Du Dalei is definitely drunk and has no words, he does not mean to offend the royal dignity, please forgive him." ”
Du Dalei was also a little scared, he didn't expect Lao Tzu to have a bad year, just came to Bianliang City, he offended Zhao Er, and he wanted to cut off Lao Tzu's head. It seems that Taiqin's words can't be believed, didn't he calculate it for Lao Tzu, saying that Lao Tzu is not dangerous at all when he comes to Bianliang City, this guy is purely farting.
Li Jilong, who was hiding in the corner, panicked, he hurriedly came to Zhao Guangyi and knelt in front of him.
"Uncle, please forgive me, my brother didn't mean to bump into you, he just drank too much and was playing drunk. It's all caused by the kid, and if the kid hadn't drunk him, he wouldn't have been able to talk nonsense. If you are angry, punish me, and please forgive my brother. ”
Zhao Guangyi sneered: "Hmph, you kid is quite righteous, your father was demoted to Zizhou not long ago, and now your Li family is at a low point, can you afford such a crime?" Do you want to involve the whole family? ”
Li Jilong gritted his teeth: "Uncle, the kid is responsible for doing things alone, I will bear this crime myself, and it will not affect the family." I will bear the responsibility for the crime you want to convict. ”
Du Dalei was very moved in his heart, he didn't expect that this second generation of officials, who only met today, would be righteous and take on such a big crime for himself.
He hurriedly said to Zhao Guangyi: "Lord Fu Yin, if something is coming at me, don't embarrass the child." Isn't it just to cut off the head, Lao Tzu admitted it, his head fell off the bowl and had a big scar, and twenty years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again. ”
Li Jilong asked: "Brother, isn't it eighteen years later, and he is a good man again?" Are you wrong? ”
Du Dalei waved his hand: "You little brat, you don't interject when adults speak, and go cool!" Lao Tzu developed late, can't he become an adult at the age of twenty? ”
Zhao Guangyi secretly laughed in his heart, this Du Dalei is also a hob meat! Looks like I'm going to have to scare him.
Zhao Guangyi said with a straight face: "Du Dalei, tomorrow you will be beheaded, what else do you have to say?" ”
Du Dalei said with a wry smile: "Lord Fu Yin, it hurts to kill your head, can I redeem my life with money?" You know, our brother has money, can you make a price? ”
Zhao Guangyi said unhappily: "You still want to bargain? You despise the dignity of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and you should be beheaded. Who told you to pay for your life? Da Song is not short of your money. ”
"One hundred thousand." Du Dalei held out a finger.
Zhao Guangyi smiled contemptuously: "One hundred thousand guan, your life is worth this?" ”
"A million times."
Zhao Guangyi was a little uneasy: "One million? Can you get it? ”
Tai Chin hurriedly said, "No problem. The Sprinkler family can be a guarantee, and they will definitely be able to take out a million yuan. ”
Zhao Guangyi was a little surprised, these people could take out a million without blinking their eyes? Now the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty is only more than 10 million yuan. It seems that these people are really rich!
Taiqin saw that Zhao Guangyi's face was constantly changing, and felt that he must have moved, so he continued to increase: "Lord Fu Yin, they didn't bring much gold, silver and copper coins with them when they came to Bianliang City this time. However, tens of thousands of guan can still be taken out immediately. The Sprinkle family can immediately send people to Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Du Dalei also said: "Lord Fu Yin, this time we have brought a lot of overseas treasures, conservatively estimated, it can also be worth hundreds of thousands." Just leave me alone, it's all yours. If that's not enough, I'll write back at once, and my brother will send the money right away. ”
Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but smack his tongue, the goods brought by these people casually can be worth hundreds of thousands? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
He snorted, "What if you have money?" The dignity of the law of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be exchanged for money. No matter how much money you take, the official won't care. ”
Du Dalei hurriedly said: "Lord Fu Yin, if you use an unparalleled weapon in the world, can you exchange my life?" ”
"An unparalleled ordnance in the world?" Zhao Guangyi suddenly became interested, "What kind of ordnance are you talking about?" ”
Du Dalei said: "A kind of bow and crossbow, a crossbow with an extremely long range and powerful lethality. ”
Zhao Guangyi asked, "Is there a bed crossbow with a long range?" Compared to a bed crossbow, how lethal is it? ”
Du Dalei said: "Lord Yin, this kind of crossbow is about the same size as an ordinary stepping crossbow, and the maximum range can reach between more than 200 and 300 steps. If you fire at about 70 paces, you can pierce through heavy armor. This is a unique weapon in the world! If the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was equipped with this kind of weapon, the Khitans would have to suffer. ”
