Chapter Eighty-Eight: I'll Spit Out After Eating Me

When the obedient official heard his words, he only felt chills all over his body, you must know that Yan Jiaguang came here for more than 200 mouths, in a word, he would kill if he said that he would kill, not to mention, there were two or three hundred people who fell into the hands of pirates, and this extermination was five hundred, five hundred!

But when he looked at Zhongli's eyes, he knew that this was really murderous, and he was not stupid, destroying the mouth of the Yan family was very beneficial to this huge fleet, as for the loss of the Yan family, these military households didn't care, in the eyes of the military guards, these maritime merchants were actually not much different from pirates, to be honest, this has nothing to do with right and wrong, justice and evil, nothing more than two words, interests.

But that's 500 lives! Most of them are just ordinary citizens, so why not.

Thinking of this, his hands tightened, and he clenched Zhongli's fingertips tightly, "Brother, I'm not disgusted with dirty hands, I'll be honest, it's not so easy for his Yan family to implicate me, there is a brother in my family, and I are like brothers, he is the most appreciated township party of the former cabinet old Xu Jie, known as the world's most famous Qiliner......"

Zhongli's eyes lit up, "Oh! But Chen Jiru and Chen Gongzi. He has always admired the literati, although he does not know the poems made by Emperor Sejong, but the names of the three Wu celebrities are all catchy.

"It is Brother Jiconfucian, he and the heads of the yamen in Nanjing can speak, even if it is the Duke of Xu, he can also have a relationship."

Zhongli's arm muscles relaxed, and he let out a sigh, saying in his heart that he could have a relationship with the Nanjing garrison Xu Guogong's Mansion, and he was not afraid of anyone, "If you say so, it's a bit appropriate, but it's ......"

The obedient official hurriedly added, "Moreover, Miss Yan of the Yan family, it was Yan Dazhang, the head of the Yan family, who personally promised me to be a concubine." This sentence is a big killer, Zhong Guerrilla heard it and sighed, that is his younger brother and sister, is it difficult to kill his younger brother and sister's family, this is too bastard.

He seemed to smile and said, "It's still a brother who is a scholar who thinks about it thoroughly, so that the Yan family's property will not be all your brother in the future." ”

"Brother, don't worry, this trip, why do I want my father-in-law to pay an extra 200,000 taels to come out." The obedient official added another sentence, people can't maintain a relationship just by feelings, even if they meet this guerrilla Zhong again, the 200,000 taels of silver don't want it, it's a bit of a joke.

"Brother, what you said about it, brother, do I seem to be the kind of person who is very greedy?" Zhongli Zhenzhen has a speech, he and the obedient official are eye-to-eye, it is familiar at first sight, but 200,000 taels of silver, just like a well-known sentence in later generations [the so-called loyalty, but the price of betrayal is not enough], these 200,000 taels can build five 2,000 Dafu ships, not to mention corrupt officials, even if the Qing official Hai Rui comes, maybe he will bite his teeth and destroy the Yan family, 200,000 taels! How many things can be done for the court! Anyway, the silver of these maritime merchants is also earned by the imperial court.

As the saying goes, if you eat mine, you will spit it out, and if you take mine, give it back to me.

Yes, you don't look like a corrupt person, but if you are corrupt, then you don't look like a human being. However, this kind of joke did not dare to be spoken, after all, the ancient and modern aesthetics are different, in case people are angry...... Therefore, if you have a cheap mouth, you can only be a five-star master of etiquette and law.

"What my brother said, that is not to treat the younger brother as his own, to be honest, I am very hesitant to accept Miss Yan as a concubine, firstly, I am still young, this kind of thing has not been considered at all, and secondly, their family is a businessman, and they have a bad reputation for me. However, Miss Na Yan admired my talent, and she wanted to marry me. He pretended to be shy, and said in his heart, Miss Yan, I'm sorry, you just have to be cheeky! I'm also for the good of your family, it's better to be cheeky than your Yan family!

Zhongli laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "That's not bad, brother, if I have a daughter, then I will definitely marry you with a dead face." ”

The obedient official was embarrassed, and said in his heart that you don't even have a wife, and you have a rabbit with fine skin and tender meat in the house, where did you come from?

He laughed dryly twice, and then said: "So, I have always wanted this old father-in-law to ......" He simply faced the old man, and the father-in-law called it, "Let the old father-in-law stop the sea business, to be honest, brother, I also have a lot of ways to make money in my stomach, what to do not make money, I have to run to the sea, the sea is dangerous, and secondly, there is always a suspicion of piracy, the reputation is too ugly, if my teacher knows that I accept a young lady from the sea merchant as a concubine, I am afraid that he will scold me." ”

This Zhong Guerrilla rubbed his chin, mumbled, and said: "This makes sense, don't talk about your teacher's and other characters, brother, I look down on these people who run the sea, but I heard that the young lady of the Yan family is known as the first lady in Zhejiang, and she must have the appearance of a city and a country, and I heard that she is also a student of Mr. Qingteng, Mr. Qingteng has a habit of three-inch small feet, this Miss Yan must also be a pair of good feet, oops!" It's fun to want to come to the boudoir......" he digressed as he spoke, rubbing his chin and feeling obscene.

Halfway through speaking, I realized that I was not talking about the young lady who sold meat in the Qinglou, but my brother's future concubine, Mrs. Ru, who was immediately embarrassed and purple, took off the helmet on his head and took it in his hand, and scratched his head with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be surprised, brother, I am a rough person, although I admire a scholar like you, brother, but there are not many real goods in my stomach, not to mention that I am also a bit of a mound, and I am used to messing around with them, but I am becoming more and more hooligans when I speak." ”

"Brother, that's a true outpouring of feelings." The obedient official is not stingy and patted on the back, "But she is a pair of heavenly feet, and the old father-in-law beats the little pet, but he refuses to let her suffer such crimes." ”

Zhongli immediately smacked his lips, "Alas! It's a pity, brother, let me tell you, this Mr. Qingteng's summary of the fun of playing with little feet is really delicious......"

Seeing that he was talking, there were signs of crooked buildings, and the good official quickly interrupted him, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, these will be in a few years!" "I added a sentence in my heart, nonsense, my little feet are wrapped in a smelly and long footcloth, it's strange that there is no smell, it's normal to have a smell.

Only then did Zhong Guerrilla remember that this Brother Zheng was currently thirteen years old, and he would be fourteen years old in two or three days, and he would tell him that it was too early, so he smiled awkwardly, "It's my brother who was negligent, let's not talk about this, don't talk about this." ”

"Hmmm! Brother, let's get down to business. I plan to let him take out all the profits from this transaction as long as I redeem my old father-in-law, and it is not good to ask my brother to lead the crowd to run for nothing, not to mention, as my brother said, now that the governor and the chief secretary are fighting fiercely, it is difficult for the Yan family to be caught in the middle, so simply stop the trading at sea. ”

Zhongli thought about it, and this time he didn't say no, so he said: "If the Yan family really marries your brother, this maritime business may not be able to continue......" He saw that the obedient official opened his mouth to speak, so he waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't worry, listen to my brother, like this kind of business, someone will do it at any time, if you don't do it, you will cheapen others for nothing, what do I mean!" Fish out your old father-in-law, don't let him come out and run to the sea in the future, enjoy the blessings at home, have nothing to do to build bridges and pave roads, be a great good person, and leave the business to the people below, preferably a person with a foreign surname, even if something goes wrong at that time, you can also cut off the tail of the gecko and not hurt the muscles and bones. ”

This is an old man's move to seek the country, it can be seen that Zhongli still attaches importance to Zheng Guofan, ordinary people, how can they say this, the obedient official understands in his heart, and is very grateful, so he bends down and promises, "I thank my brother for the old father-in-law." ”

This time, Zhongli received his great gift, and said with a smile: "I will accept this gift, brother, you can rest assured, the profit of this trip of 500 Franco cannons is at least 500,000 taels, even if the Yan family is up and down, there must be a net profit of 300,000 yuan, and when the time comes, let him take 400,000 yuan, and his Yan family will pay the silver, and I will ensure his safety in Ningbo, Zhenhai, Dinghai, Guanhai, Changguo, Menshan, Shipu, and Juexi Eight Guard Fleets." ”

"Why don't you invite Old Butler Yan to talk." The obedient official wanted to call the old housekeeper of Yan Gan, and he agreed to the 200,000 taels of silver with empty white teeth! In the end, the Yan family had to decide for themselves, if the Yan family was unwilling, then they would do their best, and the so-called people would obey the destiny of heaven, and they would not feel guilty in their hearts.

Zhongli also felt that he was excited to talk to the obedient official, and in the end he had to look at the Yan family, although his brother was going to marry the young lady of the Yan family as a concubine, but that was the queen, his brother talked about favors, it did not mean that the Yan family was definitely willing to pay money, and it was better to say that it was better to be in the open, so he nodded.

The obedient official called the big head to invite the old housekeeper Yan to come, and the big head agreed to go, and he still didn't forget to hold the Yanling knife that had just been knocked on the bamboo pole, and the good official shook his head, Zhong Li smiled, the two joined hands, they were really good brothers, but the difference in height and age was too great, and when he returned to the cabin, Zhong Guerrilla's favorite little Furong smiled, "Master, little master......" and made tea for the two, and the two of them held the tea cup and ate tea slowly.

Half an hour later, the old housekeeper Yan came, as soon as he entered the cabin, the obedient officer hurriedly put down the teacup, and rushed to say it first, the old housekeeper heard him suddenly change his words to the old father-in-law, and his heart was sudden, but he was an old thief, but on the surface, he didn't see anything unusual at all. When he heard the hidden poem in the letter, he also pulled Zheng Xiaoxianggong in, and immediately blushed, knowing that it was about the matter of the young lady, of course, it is estimated that people also know, but this cannot be said, and it will hurt the feelings of both parties too much.

"Old butler, what I mean is that I will make the decision for my old father-in-law, and I will take out 400,000 silver together with the silver that I went to redeem people this time......"

This 400,000 yuan is equivalent to the Yan family not earning a single copper coin, and it is still pasted into more than 200,000 yuan, but the so-called obedience has to listen to the sound, he has already heard it from the obedient official words, Governor Cai is afraid that he is going to use the Yan family as a substitute for the dead ghost, and the Zhong guerrilla in front of him also covets the silver, if he refuses, let alone save people, right now, the Yan family will be destroyed in an instant.
