Chapter 193: The Silver Has Arrived
Under the thick night, Dai Yuanhua left in a hurry, his steps were brisk, revealing a strong joy.
Daotai Mansion, but it is still brightly lit.
Ye Chengxin stood in the study, still asking Li Zhen for precautions for starting a factory. It was the first time he had presided over such a thing, and many of them did not understand, and the only advantage was that he had a flexible brain. Ye Chengxin is young, but he can distinguish between priorities and priorities, and he will not cock his ass just because he has been reused by Li Zhen, thinking that he will have peace of mind.
Ye Cheng knew that he didn't do it well this time, and I was afraid that it would not be his turn to come forward for Li Zhen in the future.
Therefore, Ye Cheng is extremely concerned.
Li Zhen was also happy to answer Ye Cheng's questions without the slightest reservation. Teaching a well-known 'hardware king' and business genius in history, Li Zhen also has a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart and feels extremely proud. After answering Ye Cheng's question, Li Zhencai said, "After you go out, let someone invite Earl." ”
"Yes!"
Ye Cheng saluted Li Zhen respectfully, turned around and left.
In a short time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study, and the door opened, and Rawell strode in.
Half a month later, Earl's leg injury has recovered.
The moment he saw Li Zhen, Lawell's heart suddenly became excited, and he could finally talk about repaying the money. In the past half a month, he and Adams, Bourlong, and Bao Ling were detained in the courtyard, staring at each other every day, sighing every day, and they were already suffocating to the point of going crazy, just waiting for Li Zhen to call him to talk about repaying the money, and then leave Shanghai as soon as possible.
After waiting for half a month, I finally waited for Li Zhen's call.
Rawell sat down in the study and said straight to the point: "General Li, can we talk about the ransom?" ”
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Of course you can, I came to you for this matter." According to the agreed conditions, ten million taels of silver, I will let you go. Of course, the rest of the more than 200 soldiers who were imprisoned were released as gifts. ”
Rawell rolled his eyes and asked, "How can I trust you?" ”
This matter is the main concern of Rywell, Adams, Bouron and Bowing.
If the silver is given, but Li Zhen does not let it go, it will be a loss of people and property, people will be seized, and the money will be swallowed up. This kind of thing, Lywell must be guarded against. Rawell stared at Li Zhen with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through the truest thoughts in Li Zhen's heart, but Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged, the eight winds did not move, and he was as calm as a stone statue that had not changed for eternity, which made Lawell feel down.
Li Zhen said in a low voice: "You are already a prisoner, do I need to lie to you?" Besides, you've been in Shanghai for a while, so you know my credibility. Believe it or not, or not, then continue to stay in the house. ”
Rawell thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the truth.
Li Zhen himself is a person with a lot of money, and they are still prisoners, can they deceive him? It's just that Rawell didn't know that Li Zhen spent money like running water, and he wanted to raise soldiers and buy weapons, and he had already spent millions of taels of silver, and he didn't have so much money.
Rawell said, "General Li, I believe in you and hope you keep your promises. ”
Li Zhen smiled: "Of course, my credibility is guaranteed. ”
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Commander Lawell, although I promised to let you go, I have no intention of letting you stay in Shanghai. The British and French troops bombarded Shanghai, which frightened the people of Shanghai, and they still talk about foreigners. Your wanton bombing has also damaged the interests of many businessmen and affected the development of Shanghai's commerce, and they must leave Shanghai. ”
Rawell immediately said: "Don't worry, general, we will leave Shanghai and never set foot here again." ”
As he spoke, Earl spoke in a sincere tone, with a slight smirk on his face.
However, Sharp Ear was already roaring madly in his heart, he would set foot in Shanghai again sooner or later, and he would trample Li Zhen under his feet and wash away the shame left by Li Zhen. Since he met Li Zhen, he has lost every battle, and the reparations have been more than once, so he breathed a big sigh in his heart.
Li Zhen looked at Layer, but sneered again and again in his heart.
This goods has been deflated in his hands many times, and he has repeatedly provoked, and he is clearly a person who will repay him.
Can such a person be credible?
Ghosts won't believe it!
Li Zhen didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Commander Rael, you agreed to my conditions, pay the money." 10 million taels of silver is a lot of money, but you definitely can't give 10 million taels of silver at once, so all you take out are silver tickets. I will send someone to make sure that enough money can be withdrawn from the silver ticket, and that the silver ticket is correct, before I can agree to release the person. ”
Hearing this, Lywell swallowed with a grunt in his throat.
Fortunately, there was no cheating, otherwise it would have been dead.
At the beginning, Rawell came back with 9.2 million taels of silver tickets, but he did not see Li Zhen. Later, after two successive attempts to meet him without success, Bulon had other ideas in his mind, wanting to use the matter of the silver ticket to cheat. As long as they used the silver tickets of the money bank, which had already been lost, to deceive Li Zhen, they could easily earn 9.2 million taels of silver, and they could leave Shanghai smoothly.
Bao Ling tried his best to oppose it, so that he did not cheat,
Rejoicing in his heart, Rawell took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Li Zhen.
After Li Zhen took it, he counted it and made sure that it was 10 million taels of silver tickets, and then said unhurriedly: "Commander Rael, you can go back and wait for news now." Tomorrow I will be able to regain my freedom. ”
Rawell stood up and turned to leave.
Returning to his lodgings, Rawell immediately approached Bulon and shouted, "Bullon, you almost killed you." Li Zhen took the silver ticket and didn't plan to let us leave immediately, he had to confirm the authenticity of the silver ticket tomorrow before letting us go. If your idea is adopted, Li Zhen finds out that the silver ticket is fake, which angers Li Zhen, do you think the four of us can live? ”
Bullong looked embarrassed and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately! Fortunately!
Bouron said, "Bao Ling, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for your hard opposition, the four of us would be four cold corpses tomorrow. Li Zhen is too cunning and cautious. ”
Adams asked, "Spice, how can you be sure that Li Zhen will let us go?" ”
Bao Ling also cared about this issue and looked at Lyearl expectantly.
Rawell shrugged his shoulders and said, "We are all Li Zhen's subordinates now, are we still qualified to negotiate?" Besides, although Li Zhen is cunning, his reputation is reliable, and I think he can believe it. ”
"Stupid!"
Bao Ling scolded a word and said, "If I knew this, I should have gone in person." Thinking that you raised 10 million silver, I let you go, but I didn't expect you to be stunned by Li Zhen in three or two clicks. ”
Adams also spoke and scolded, all of which denounced Earl.
In the silence of the night, the room heard the bird song that the guards outside the courtyard did not understand.
