"Helper, what exactly is the problem you are talking about?" Feng Jingyao asked cautiously, he didn't dare to say that he could solve it, and naturally he didn't dare to ask him confidently, otherwise if Xu Wenqiang threw this problem to him, he couldn't solve it and delayed Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng, and it was estimated that the two would kill him.

"It's that we go to His Highness and give him a gift." Xu Wenqiang said.

"Shall we meet him?" Feng Jingyao asked, puzzled why Xu Wenqiang said "we" instead of "me"? Did he want the two of us to go with him to meet the prince?

Thinking of this, Feng Jingyao was overjoyed, and turned his gaze to Du Yuesheng on the side, and found that Du Yuesheng was also happy, and he seemed to know that Xu Wenqiang wanted him to go with him to meet the prince.

Seeing Du Yuesheng's expression and demeanor, Feng Jingyao believed that what Xu Wenqiang said was true, not deliberately teasing him, and he also had his share in meeting the prince.

To tell the truth, he studied before and gained fame, for what, that is, to be able to enter the civil service of the dynasty for the sake of error-free novels, and to glorify his ancestors. However, although he won the imperial examination of the imperial court, because there was no one to recommend him, he could not get an official position at all, and his family did not provide him with a position to continue to stay in Chang'an City, so he came to Luoyang, and then joined the Qinggang until now. In fact, in the past few years, he has not given up his idea of becoming an official in the court, just because he has never had the opportunity, this kind of thought is just pressed in his heart, and now he finally has such an opportunity, how can Feng Jingyao not be happy?

Before Xu Wenqiang said that when he wanted to recommend him to the prince, he thought that Xu Wenqiang said that he might recommend him to the prince after he gained a firm foothold in front of the prince, but he didn't expect Xu Wenqiang to be so righteous and would be ready to give him the opportunity to meet the prince at the beginning, this is a great opportunity, as long as he can grasp the opportunity, he feels that the opportunity for him to be reused by the prince is not far away.

Du Yuesheng also thought so in his heart, he didn't doubt Xu Wenqiang's recommendation, as long as the prince was willing to accept the Qinggang for his own use, he would be able to work for the prince, and sooner or later he would be appreciated by the prince with his ability, but through such a meeting, he was able to show his talent in front of the prince for the first time, and let the prince pay attention to himself, which was undoubtedly more in line with him than the former, so he was also very grateful to Xu Wenqiang.

Du Yuesheng has a moment of heart, it has been his dream since he was a child, and now the opportunity is in front of him, how can he not cherish it.

"Helper, what gifts did you prepare before?" Feng Jingyao asked, this time he was no longer Xu Wenqiang's military advisor as an outsider like before, but as a participant to share Xu Wenqiang's worries and solve problems.

"The three of them said in the letter that I should prepare four million yuan to send to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that the Crown Prince is going to conquer Tibet, and there may be a lack of silver money to reward his subordinates." Xu Wenqiang said.

"The prince will be short of money, impossible, right?" Feng Jingyao asked a little disbelievingly.

"The prince is not short of money, he has a lot of ways to make money, but he lacks a lot of money, money for war." Du Yuesheng analyzed, "This time, the prince wiped out the Tubo army, captured the Tubo minister Lu Dongzan, and wanted to attack Tubo, which is the rhythm of destroying Tubo." However, the imperial court was transporting troops in Liaodong, and the attack on the prince in terms of money and food was insufficient, and it was reasonable that the prince was short of money. Besides, attacking Tibet is not as entangled as attacking Goryeo, and if the prince wants to fight quickly, he can only motivate the soldiers through rewards. ”

Du Yuesheng is worthy of being the think tank of the Green Gang, and he actually analyzed such a lot of truths with a small amount of information of his own.

"The prince is really short of money, and it's not enough to send four million yuan!" Feng Jingyao said, "To conquer Tibet, how can the prince have to have an army of 200,000, and the reward for an army of 200,000 will only be a mere 4 million?" ”。

"Tubo is very rich, the prince destroyed Tubo, I don't know how much money there will be, he is indeed not short of money, but now he may be short of money." Xu Wenqiang said affirmatively.

"We will send the money, just four million yuan, no more and no less, the prince will doubt our motives, and less will make the prince angry, but we don't send copper money, send gold, just send 40,000 taels of gold to the prince, what do you think, big brother?" Du Yuesheng said.

"40,000 taels of gold, our Green Gang can still get it, so we will send gold." Xu Wenqiang said affirmatively, full of confidence, he has been running the Green Gang for so many years, and it is very clear how much money he has, his gold reserves in the Green Gang are more than 80,000 taels, which is 8 million yuan when converted into copper coins, which is definitely a huge amount of money, not counting other properties.

"However, four million guan is just a stepping stone for us to see the prince, the real gift is still to come, we can't get the prince's trust and respect because of four million guan." Xu Wenqiang said, "And this is where I am entangled..."

"Other gifts, the prince doesn't seem to have any special hobbies." Feng Jingyao was a little embarrassed. Du Yuesheng said with a smile, "It's not that the prince doesn't have hobbies, it's that we don't know his hobbies." ”

"Does the prince like beautiful women?". Feng Jingyao asked.

"Beauty, everyone likes it, but do we have a beautiful woman who can send it to the prince?". Xu Wenqiang said helplessly. If there is really such a purple beauty, for the sake of his own future, Xu Wenqiang will give it to Li Hong without ambiguity.

"We don't have it, it doesn't mean that there is no one in Luoyang City." Du Yuesheng said.

"Give the stolen beauty to the prince, we are looking for death." Xu Wenqiang was a little annoyed, and his tone was a little cold.

"What did the eldest brother say, how can the woman who gave it to the prince rob it, just buy it." Du Yuesheng said with a smile.

Xu Wenqiang suddenly realized that the girl they liked before was robbed, and they didn't think about spending money to buy it at all, so when it comes to beauties this time, Xu Wenqiang's first thought is still robbery, robbership, this is definitely robbership.

"Do you know who has a beautiful woman?". Xu Wenqiang asked.

"I know that the girls in a family are good-looking, but I don't know if they are married." Feng Jingyao pondered.

"How much do you think you can buy him back?" Du Yuesheng asked nervously.

"Those who give it to the crown prince have to buy it as much as they want." Xu Wenqiang said boldly, "Mr. Feng, this matter will be handed over to you, I will give you 100,000 yuan, if the money is not enough, you can come back and get it with me, don't let people say that we can just buy people's girls." ”

It's not that Xu Wenqiang is stingy and unwilling to give Feng Jingyao more money, it's because 100,000 copper coins are enough, and Feng Jingyao can't take it.

In ancient times, copper coins were used, and silver and gold were used in very small quantities, so it was inconvenient to carry silver coins with you.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." Feng Jingyao agreed without hesitation. Nonsense, this matter is related to his future, how can he not be serious?

"I heard that the prince likes to read?" Du Yuesheng suddenly asked, "Is it true?" ”

"Third brother, where did you hear about it?" Xu Wenqiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked. Du Yuesheng said, "Didn't the prince invite Sun Daochang to compile medical skills in the East Palace? We can't deny that there are a lot of medical books in the palace, but are there really so many medical books in the palace? Not necessarily. In that case, why don't we give the prince what we know, and a large number of books? Even if the prince may not like books, it is very vulgar for us to give him money, and if we send him books again, the prince may look down on us. ”

"The prince ordered people to invent movable type printing, which shows that he is very concerned about books, and in this case, we may really throw his temper when we send books." Feng Jingyao also spoke.

"Okay." Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "Send books, collect all the unique books we can collect and send them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow." ”

Xu Wenqiang moved his gaze to Du Yuesheng and said, "Third brother, this matter will be left to you." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll do my best." Du Yuesheng confidently assured. If he was asked to do other things, he might not dare to guarantee it, but if he was asked to collect books, he would not be afraid at all, because in so many years as an elder of the Youth Gang, he had collected a lot of rare books, and he knew that as long as he was willing to spend money, he could find more books from somewhere.

"I have books and beauties, and the money has been sent, what should I give for the rest?" Xu Wenqiang asked, he didn't think it was enough to give it away, he felt that it was still a little little.

"Green Gang." Suddenly, Du Yuesheng spoke.

Feng Jingyao was stunned, Du Yuesheng dared to say that he asked Xu Wenqiang to send the Green Gang out, the Green Gang was Xu Wenqiang's hard work, how could it be sent out so easily? Although he also felt that Xu Wenqiang should give the Qinggang to the prince, he didn't dare to say this to Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, he had already considered sending the Qing Gang, but the time he sent it was after serving the prince instead of sending the Qing Gang out before he served the prince. However, he also agrees with Du Yuesheng's point of view, it is true that compared with Du Yuesheng, his courage is still a little smaller, and after serving the prince, he will send the Qing Gang out as soon as they meet, these two ways of giving gifts are different, and it is obvious that the latter can get the prince's weight more.

Seeing that Xu Wenqiang didn't speak, Feng Jingyao's heart trembled, thinking that Xu Wenqiang was angry and was about to plead with Du Yuesheng, when he heard Xu Wenqiang say, "The third brother is right, it's a foolish brother who is pedantic, so he will send it to the Green Gang." ”

Xu Wenqiang pondered for a while and said, "Four million yuan, a beautiful woman, tens of thousands of books, and a green gang, our sincerity is very sufficient, and the rest depends on His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Feng Jingyao and Du Yuesheng were both relieved when they heard Xu Wenqiang's words.

Especially Du Yuesheng, he felt that Xu Wenqiang would reject his proposal because he was reluctant to the Green Gang, so that they would only waste an opportunity to impress the prince, but he didn't expect Xu Wenqiang to be so courageous, and he would send it away, and he would send the Green Gang, which he had worked hard for more than ten years, out like this.

When the three of them had finished their discussions, they hurried to their own business, for there was not much time left for them, only one day.

……

Xu Wenqiang's invitation of Du Yuesheng and Feng Jingyao to the mansion to discuss the matter soon reached Ding Li's ears, and Ding Li was very angry when he knew about this matter, because it meant that his horse-headed boss no longer believed in him and was ready to give up on him, otherwise how could he discuss such a major matter without calling him to go?

What to do?

Ding Li was a little panicked.

Following Xu Wenqiang's side, he knows Xu Wenqiang's heart best, if Xu Wenqiang doubts a person, he will not leave this person alive, and he will definitely try to destroy this person. Now that Xu Wenqiang didn't believe in himself, Ding Li felt that suddenly it seemed that someone had targeted him and was ready to take his life at any time.

Don't...

Could it be that Wang Quan had an accident and was discovered by the boss's people?

Ding Li knew that Wang Quan was sent by that person to spy on him, but he was very relieved of Wang Quan, except that he really wanted to serve that person, Wang Quan's temper towards him, for those who had a temper with him, Ding Li would get along with people with his heart.

Thinking that Wang Quan had an accident, Ding Li was anxious, no wonder the boss doubted himself, if he let the boss know about Wang Quan's affairs, he would really be speechless!

Ding Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Xu Wenqiang's methods were ruthless and cruel, he had been taught, and he definitely didn't have to be much worse than Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng was known as the most ruthless and sinister person in the Green Gang, which shows how terrifying Du Yuesheng is, and Ding Li thinks that Xu Wenqiang is on par with Du Yuesheng, which shows how fierce Xu Wenqiang, who is usually gentle and elegant, when he is angry...

"Someone came, was blessed with longevity?? "Ding Li was a little flustered, and he wanted to numb himself in this way.

Suddenly, at this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in and said to him, "Lang Jun, someone outside the door asked to see you, saying that they are here to help you get through the difficulties." ”

"Who? It's no wonder, let him go, I'm not in the mood to see him. "Ding Li has no time to meet others now.

The maid received the order, and hurried out, and when she arrived outside the mansion, she said to a Confucian scholar outside the mansion, "Our family Langjun doesn't want to see you, you can go!" ”

"You tell your family Langjun, just say that he is in trouble now, it has something to do with their boss, our master can save him, if he doesn't see me, he will miss this opportunity by mistake, there will be no next time." Confucian said calmly.

Seeing that the maid was a little embarrassed, he took out a hanging copper coin and handed it to the maid, "Please report it again." ”

The maid glanced at the copper coin in her hand and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Finally, this time Ding Li did not get angry again, but invited Confucian students into the mansion. Because a sentence from Confucian changed his attitude, saying that it was related to their boss, and he was in trouble. Isn't Ding Li now experiencing difficulties and troubles?

"Where is this gentleman from?" When he arrived in the living room, Ding Li asked about Confucius.

"Don't ask the deputy gang leader where I'm from, can I ask the deputy gang leader a few questions first?". Confucian said.

"Just ask!" Ding Li said a little irritably.

Confucian asked, "Are you Qinggang ready to serve the prince?" ”

"Yes." Ding Li nodded slightly, he didn't have the heart to doubt how a Confucian student could know such a confidential thing.

"But you don't agree, do you?" Confucian asked.

"Yes." Ding Li moved his gaze to the Confucian face, this time he no longer despised the Confucian in front of him, but asked seriously, "How does Mr. know?" ”

"Did the deputy gang leader not think of a solution and was questioned by Xu Wenqiang?" Confucius continued to ask, "I'm afraid my life is in danger now, right?" ”

"What does the gentleman teach me?" Ding Li asked eagerly. Confucianism's three questions completely made Ding Li lose his temper, and then thought that Xu Wenqiang was going to kill himself, Ding Li regarded Confucianism as his savior.

"It's not difficult for me to save you, I'm afraid that the deputy gang leader won't want to listen to me." Confucian said arrogantly.

"As long as Ding Li can be saved, no matter what Mr. says, Ding Li is willing to listen." Ding Li said eagerly, the more he didn't want to die, the more he was afraid that Xu Wenqiang would kill him, and the more Confucian students became dependent, so he would be led by Confucian students.

"Sure, deputy gang leader?" Confucius asked uncertainly.

"Ding Li can swear to the sky..."

Ding Li was forced to swear a poisonous oath, and Confucian Sheng put his mouth to Ding Li's ear and said his plan.

"No, this can't be done, I can't do this, I don't dare to do this." After listening to Confucianism's words, Ding Li was excited and immediately refused. After that, his face turned pale, and his body trembled a little, as if he was frightened.

"Deputy gang leader, you have to think clearly, if you don't do this, you must die, if you do this, not only can you save Xu Wenqiang and them, let them understand your love, but also make a great contribution in front of that person, what reason do you have to refuse? Besides, with us to help you, you won't fail, if you fail, we can't get out of it, and we have a lot to lose, do you say we want to see such a thing happen? ”。 Confucian continued to tempt Ding Lidao.

Ding Li continued to shake his head, he didn't want to, but he didn't dare, he really didn't dare!

"The deputy gang leader may need time to think about it, but I want to tell the deputy gang leader that Xu Wenqiang is discussing how to meet the prince tomorrow, and they will go to see the prince tomorrow afternoon, there is not much time left for you, if you want to think about it, it is not too late." Confucius said, and strode out of the living room.

"By the way, the deputy gang is mainly thinking clearly, so they will find me at the Lafulin Inn." Confucius left his address before leaving, and left in a hurry.

Ding Li was the only one left in the living room.

Ding Li has been silent.

After half a ring, his face returned to its usual color, he took a deep breath and asked the people around him, "Is Wang Quan here?" ”。

"Not yet." The person next to him replied.

"Did Gang Master Xu send someone to invite me to discuss the matter?" Ding Li continued to ask.

"Nope." The people around him continued to answer.

Ding Li's face was ugly and uncertain, could he really only do this? But if you do this, is there still a way to live? Ding Li was very hesitant, very difficult, and afraid to make a decision.

However, there is not much time left for him, there is really not much left, Xu Wenqiang will meet with the prince tomorrow afternoon.

Thinking of this, Ding Li was frightened, and unconsciously sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still didn't dare to make a decision, and he didn't dare to agree to Confucianism...... Because he's afraid, really afraid......
