Chapter 223: Don't you think it's too late?
(Ask for a collection of red tickets)
Wang Qinian sneered and looked at Pei Shisheng and the others, feeling more and more tall and mighty. The small bench on which Pei Shisheng and the others were sitting was too low, and a few adults felt more aggrieved when they sat there than squatting on the ground. And Wang Qinian's chair was too high, and he couldn't sit on it if he didn't work hard to get up. One tall and one short, that's exactly what he wants.
"You say, is your county guard Wu Province cheap? The general wrote to him kindly, he was rude and didn't even reply to a letter, and he planned to resist the might of my general's troops, did he think that a small Yuncheng could stop tens of thousands of elite soldiers in our Yanyun Village? I also told you, if there were twenty Yanyun Village, the big guy who had blown down the city gate over there, if it weren't for the general's kindness and didn't want to hurt the innocent people in Yuncheng, he would have ordered Yuncheng to be razed to the ground. ”
He leaned over and widened his eyes and asked, "You say, is Wu Province cheap?" ”
Pei Shisheng looked sideways at the few rich people sitting in a row with him, and several people looked at each other, and no one knew how to answer.
Wang Qinian just leaned over and stared at them coldly, not answering them, and he was afraid that the vicious-looking guy would have some cruel means. Pei Shisheng gritted his teeth and whispered a word: "Cheap!" After saying this word, remembering that Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng ordered the city gate to be closed before, Pei Shisheng actually felt a little happy in his heart. Seeing that Pei Shisheng had already spoken, several other rich people also gritted their teeth and said, "Cheap! ”
"It's cheap!"
"Oh?"
Wang Qinian laughed and said: "Since you also think that Wu Xingzhi is a slut and Zhang Sanheng is also a slut, then we can be regarded as agreeing, so that the next business will be much smoother." I have a problem with this person, that is, I never lose my temper and don't embarrass people when I talk to people, as long as I basically get by. I'm just a good talker, with a cold face and a warm heart. ”
Hearing him say this, Pei Shisheng and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This ...... O Leader Wang, I am waiting here mainly to discuss the ransom with the general, after all, two million guan is really a huge fortune, even if I do everything I have, it will be very different, and I ask the leader of the king to say a few more kind words in front of the general, isn't it...... Can it be less? ”
Pei Shisheng asked tentatively.
Wang Qinian said with a smile: "Didn't I say it just now, what kind of person is my general, how can he deign to negotiate such mundane things as money with you?" Vulgar! It's too cheesy! Tacky! I am a layman, so the general has entrusted this matter to me, and if you have anything to say to me, you don't have to bother my general. ”
"The king's leader has become the lord?"
A wealthy man who was also surnamed Wang asked stubbornly.
"What's your last name?"
Wang Qinian asked.
The man hurriedly replied, "Don't let your surname be Wang, and you can't tell the king that you were still a family five hundred years ago." ”
Wang Qinian said with a smile: "It was originally my family, so I have to give you face." You mean two million is too much? Want to make my general drop a little? I can tell you that I have done this to the Lord! ”
The rich man surnamed Wang hurriedly said, "Thank you for taking care of the king!" ”
Wang Qinian pondered for a while and said: "Two million guan is indeed too much, although your family is very rich, it is also difficult to gather so much money for a while, I can understand this, so let's see the face of you who is also surnamed Wang......
Pei Shisheng and the others hurriedly cheered up, staring at Wang Qinian and waiting for the words behind.
"It's okay to avoid ten times, you just need to make up one million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety times, so you can see it?"
He looked at the rich man surnamed Wang and said, "I gritted my teeth and helped you in the face of the danger of being blamed by the general, so you should be satisfied, right?" ”
The corners of the rich man's mouth twitched, and he grinned bitterly, but he didn't know what to say at all. Ten times, it took a long time to talk and talk about it and only drop ten times on the face of the same surname Wang, isn't this deliberately humiliating people? However, the leader surnamed Wang still looked serious and solemn, as if he had made great sacrifices and concessions by exempting the ten yuan from it. Looking at his posture, it seems that just because of this ten yuan money, the general surnamed Li still blames him.
Pei Shisheng thought about it for a while, and it was not a way to listen to the king leader talking like this, so he stood up and hugged Wang Qinian and said: "Leader Wang, let's talk quickly, to tell the truth, even if the general really led the army to level Yuncheng, and even the entire Dongping County, he may not be able to get two million yuan." ”
Wang Qinian nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, I'll talk to the general when I go back." ”
Seeing Wang Qinian's attitude change, Pei Shisheng heard Wang Qinian continue before he had time to be happy: "I'll tell the general when I go back, step on Yuncheng and rob all your families to try, if you really don't have so much money, I won't blame you." ”
"The King's Leader ......"
Pei Shisheng almost pleaded and said, "You are like this, there is really no way to talk about it." ”
Wang Qinian's eyelids picked and sneered: "Then what are you going to talk about?" ”
Not far away, there was a small vacant place in the dense military formation, and Li Xian and the iron wolf were playing chess. They were not far from Wang Qinian and those rich people in Yuncheng, but they couldn't see them through two or three human walls. But the sound of Wang Qinian's conversation with those people was clearly audible, and he laughed when he heard Wang Qinian play those rich iron wolves: "This old Wang can really torture people!" ”
Li Xian nodded and smiled: "Make the best use of things, make the best use of people." ”
……
……
Wu Province, the county guard of Dongping County, cleaned up, changed into clean clothes, covered his mouth, and stood on the city wall looking at the people and horses of Yanyun Village in the distance. He had seen Pei Shisheng and the others enter the military formation of Yanyun Village before, but after entering, he could no longer see the figures of several of them. Thinking of the boulder hit before, he still had palpitations, looked at the collapsed city gate tower, and subconsciously took a few steps into the distance.
"Lord Zhang, look...... Pei Shisheng, do they have any hope of negotiating here? ”
Zhang Sanheng thought for a while and said: "There should be no problem, after all, if the negotiation is not proper, the thieves will also be damaged when they attack the city, it is said that Li Da is quite protective of his soldiers, so it is expected that he will not make this choice, right?" It's nothing more than trying to blackmail some more money and food, and the blow just now is just a dismount. ”
"I hope so."
Wu Xingzhi covered his mouth and said, "It's just, why am I so restless? If the conversation fails, the thief orders the siege......"
Zhang Sanheng said solemnly: "The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”
Wu Xingzhi couldn't help but say: "It's all this time, can't you say something useful?" ”
"That's right!"
Zhang Sanheng suddenly remembered something, and said with joy on his face: "Lord Wu, thieves are only for wealth, if the wealth is insufficient, can we make up for it with food?" At the beginning of the year, the grain storage that was supposed to be transported to Huaiyuan, Liaoxi, could not be made because the waterway was blocked by bandits. ”
"Good, good."
Wu Xingzhi hurriedly said: "Quickly send someone out to contact Pei Shisheng, and ask him to tell General Li that this official is willing to spend all the granaries of the treasury in exchange for the safety of the people of Yuncheng!" ”
At this time, Pei Shisheng, who was negotiating with Wang Qinian, was really big, no matter what he said, the leader surnamed Wang only insisted on 1,999,990 yuan, and not a single copper coin could be less. And he has already raised the amount of money on his side from the initial 100,000 to 300,000. Even so, in addition to the money in the Yuncheng Mansion's treasury, the money distributed to these rich families was enough for them to feel distressed about, and they couldn't take out any more.
When he was helpless, one of Wu Xingzhi's relatives went out of the city.
"Lord Fujun said that you can pay for food with food."
He whispered in Pei Shisheng's ear.
Pei Shisheng immediately came to his senses, and said in his heart that Wu Xingzhi had finally done some work.
He told Wang Qinian what Wu Xingzhi meant, and Wang Qinian thought for a while and said, "In this case, can you get 100,000 stone grain and grass from the granary of Yuncheng Mansion?" If you can get 100,000 stone of grain and grass, plus 400,000 yuan of money, you can also negotiate. ”
"Poof!"
Li Xian, who was sitting behind the soldiers and playing chess, couldn't help laughing, and said that everyone said that Wang Qinian had a thick face and a black heart, it seems that this guy definitely has the potential to be a politician, and if he is in business, he may also be a huge rich. 100,000 stone grain and grass, don't say a Dongping County, even if it is Qi County and Lu County, which is famous for its wealth, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it out at all for a while.
Pei Shisheng just begged bitterly, Wang Qinian stood up violently and said angrily: "I understand, you are deliberately delaying time, right, in order to let the defenders in the city be ready to fight, in this case, I have nothing to say to you, I will go to see the general, if you want to fight, then fight!" ”
Pei Shisheng even had the heart to kneel, he pulled Wang Qinian and said, "Leader Wang, I really can't take out so much." It's better to do this, I can let Wu Xingzhi open the granary of the treasury, how many of you move out of the city is not enough? As for the money, we can barely make up 300,000 yuan, plus the money in the treasury is also tens of thousands, and Wu Xingzhi's family is extremely rich, if he raids his house, I am afraid that it will only be no less than 100,000 yuan. ”
"There is also Zhang Sanheng, the county prince, this person is a cousin of Yu Wenshu, the general of the imperial court, and he also has a lot of wealth in his family!"
"Aha!"
Wang Qinian smiled: "Your idea is not bad. ”
He looked at Pei Shisheng and said: "You go back and tell Wu Xingzhi to move out all the grain, grass and money in the treasury, if you can't scrape together enough money of 500,000 yuan, I will personally lead the army to his house and Zhang Sanheng's house to search!" ”
Pei Shisheng then woke up to the fact that it was absolutely impossible for Wu Xingzhi to open the city gate, if the city gate was opened and the thieves from Yanyunzhai were put in, what was the point of this negotiation today? I am afraid that when the thieves enter the city, none of the rich families in the city can escape, and all of them will have to be looted by the thieves.
……
……
Just as Li Xian and Iron Fang Wolf were listening interestingly, suddenly a group of black-clothed cavalry hurried from the rear of the army. There are more than ten horsemen in total, and their outfits are very different from the soldiers in Yanyunzhai. Soap boots in black, carrying a sharp iron hammer on his back, it seems to be the Flying Tiger secret spy.
The leading spy directly passed through the Yanyunzhai army formation, and hurried over after asking Li Xian where he was. He separated the soldiers and came to Li Xian, bowed and saluted, and then stepped forward and whispered a few words in Li Xian's ear. Li Xian frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "I know, you go back first, tell Ye Da to let her watch carefully, and I will go back." The spy answered, and hurried back to Juye Zeyanyun Village.
Seeing Li Xian's solemn expression, the iron wolf asked in a low voice, "General, what happened?" ”
Li Xian sighed and said: "I didn't kill Wen Jiao, I said that it would cause trouble, but I didn't expect trouble to come so quickly, Yang Guang transferred Feng Xiaoci, the general of the right Hou Wei, and led more than 30,000 soldiers to cross Yishui, and came to attack our Yanyun Village." ”
He pointed outside and said, "Go, let Wang Qinian almost do, hurry up and collect money and grain, we have to go back to the cottage." ”
The Iron Wolf replied, "I'll go now." ”
Li Xianxin said: Right Hou Wei Feng Xiaoci, if it weren't for the secret spies left along the way when Ye Huaichong went to Jiangdu, he didn't know that you came so quickly. Yang Guang, Yang Guang, you finally remembered me? It's just that...... Don't you think it's too late?
