Chapter 573: Someone Asks to See
"Chairman, there are people outside the house asking to see you." There is a report from the guards at the door.
"Who? Didn't you see that I was talking to Minister Xiao and the two of them about business? You tell him to wait in the hall for a while, and I'll go out to see him when I'm done with business. "He said that he was the master of the county magistrate of Qiantang County, and said that they had good news for him to bring to the chairman."
"People from Qiantang County?" The Supreme Treasure was surprised, he hadn't attacked Qiantang County yet, and the people over there couldn't hold their breath and wanted to come to see him, could it really be that they were going to make peace with themselves? It seems that I have to go gradually this person.
"Chairman, this Qiantang County order sent the master to convey the news at this time, there must be something tricky, we still have to be careful." Xiao He reminded.
"Well, I know, this Qiantang County Order is also mine...... Nephew Lu Xiaoyu's old acquaintance. In the past, when King Wu Yue was still there, this Qiantang County Order was made under him. Later, I heard that it was he who betrayed King Wu Yue to make his army fail, and this person also got Xiang Yu's attention, and now he is sitting in the position of Qiantang County Commander. Speaking of which, we also shouted at them in front of Qiantang County before, telling them to lay down their arms and surrender to the republic, but they resolutely refused to open the city gate and shot and wounded several of our brothers on the city tower, saying that they would resist our gang of bandits together with Guangling. The funny thing is that he is still sending his master to deliver the good news, which is really a traitor or a thief. But I still have to meet people, see what tricks they can play, and we'll have a trick to dismantle. Supreme Treasure said confidently.
Xiao He came to the front hall of the Chairman's Mansion with the Supreme Treasure, only to see a middle-aged man waiting there, saluting the Supreme Treasure with a smile: "It's better to see than to hear, this time I finally saw the legendary chairman of the Yanhuang People's Republic, and the little people Shen Youquan saw the chairman." ”
"Master Shen doesn't have to salute, our republic doesn't pay as much attention to etiquette as you Nanchu, we are just a chairman here, that is, I have more things to worry about than other people, not like your King Xiang." As soon as the Supreme Treasure met, he drew a clear line with Nan Chu, and did not save half of Xiang Yu's face at all.
Master Shen was embarrassed for a while, and thought in his heart that the chairman of this republic was really extraordinary, and now he was the most of Wu Yue's people who spoke with heavy troops, and he still spoke so modestly, and now he ridiculed the overlord of Western Chu as high and invincible.
Of course, he couldn't echo the words of the Supreme Treasure, so he had to smile and say: "It's a small one who doesn't understand etiquette, I know that our republic has always advocated equality for all, and the chairman is the same as us ordinary people, so I will retract what I just said." ”
"Master Shen, you are quite familiar with yourself, when did our chairman recognize you as a member of our republic? You are the master of the county order of Qiantang County, no matter how fast our attack is, we can't withstand your defensive posture, anyway, our People's Liberation Army has not captured your Qiantang yet, didn't the Luo County order say that we want to defend Qiantang to the death? Why can't you become a deserter, if you really want to become a citizen of our republic, you can do it, but every one of our people lives a small life, unlike you who have to be served every day, you have to work diligently to get paid for your labor. Xiao He deliberately raised the bar.
It seems that the people here are not so easy to talk to, and I have underestimated their resourcefulness. Master Shen was embarrassed again, "It was our county order that offended everyone of the Republic by making disrespectful remarks before, I feel extremely sorry, this county commander specially sent me to apologize to the chairman and several injured PLA people's Liberation Army, it was our recklessness before." There are 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, and I hope the chairman and Minister Xiao can accept it. As he spoke, he opened the two large boxes he brought and showed them to the Supreme Treasure and Xiao He.
Supreme Treasure glanced at it, it was really full of real gold and silver, it was all the people's fat and people's ointment that Luo Yuan had scavenged, and he would capture Qiantang in the future, and he must return all these belongings to the local people.
Master Shen didn't leave his eyes when he saw the Supreme Treasure staring at these two boxes of belongings, thinking that he was also a greedy person for profit, so it would be easy to do. So he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, if you think it's not enough, there are still a lot of them in the treasury of our Qiantang County Government, waiting for your Excellency to pick them up!" ”
"Oh? It seems that Qiantang County Ling Luo Yuan has been a county order in the past few years to loot gold, silver and jewelry from the people, since you still have a lot of county orders, then I will accept these two boxes first, anyway, you still have a lot, right? Supreme Treasure had a greedy expression on his face.
When Master Shen saw that there was a play, he also smiled and nodded, indicating that he asked the chairman to smile.
Xiao He saw that the Supreme Treasure was abnormal, so greedy for money thought that he was confused by the immediate interests, so he hurriedly touched the Supreme Treasure from behind, and reminded in a low voice: "Chairman, can you collect this money, this is all the people's fat and people's ointment of the people of Qiantang, after you collect this money, how will we explain to the people at that time, this is not what our People's Liberation Army did." ”
"I'm measured, Minister Xiao, I'll explain to you later." Supreme Treasure turned his head and whispered to Xiao He.
"I don't think it's that simple, right? Master Shen came all the way to say the good news, that is, to send us two boxes of gold and silver? The Supreme Treasure closed the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and asked.
"The chairman is really a smart person, and our county magistrate likes to make friends with smart people like you, chairman. It is true that I am here not only to give these things to the President, but also to tell you, the President, something more important. Is it possible to borrow a step to speak? Master Shen pretended to be mysterious and said.
The Supreme Treasure didn't care at all, he had already guessed what Master Shen was going to say next, "Let's say, we are all brothers who were born and died here, and there is nothing that cannot be said." ”
"In that case, then I'll say it. Chairman, I am here to surrender to the Republic on behalf of our Luo County Order! Master Shen said in a low voice.
"Surrender?!" Xiao He pretended to be surprised and shouted loudly, his shout alarmed many people in the Chairman's Mansion, and everyone came out to look in the front hall.
"Shhh, Minister Xiao, take it lightly, don't let others hear it, our county order secretly sent me to inform the chairman of this matter."
"Yes, Minister Xiao, why make such a fuss about this kind of thing, Luo County Ling is so sincere to let Master Shen come to pass the word, and also brought us a meeting gift, we have to be respectful to others."
"I'm sorry, Master Shen, I'm too excited, I didn't expect you to come to Toucheng! This is a good thing, we will be a family in the future, and you are really a member of the republic. I don't know if you can do your work, look at your thin arms and legs, it doesn't look like a material for work, otherwise you follow me to learn logistics things! Xiao He quipped.
