Chapter 10: Lü Buwei

The middle-aged man has an extraordinary bearing and luxurious clothes, he is either a noble among the nobles, or a rich man among the rich, Zhao Ping's thoughts turned straight in his heart, and he said secretly: "If he is really Qin Yiren's friend, he thinks there are a lot of benefits, right?" ”

As soon as he thought of the benefits, Zhao Ping's mind was full of energy, and it was difficult to suppress it, accompanied by a smiling face, the smile on his face was layered layer after layer, and asked, "Mr. is really Qin Yiren's friend?" I have been guarding him for three years, and I have never seen any friends come to visit. ”

Hostages are outcasts, and generally speaking, hostages rarely have the possibility of returning to their home countries, either dying in a foreign country or dying of old age, and there is no one in ten hostages who can return to their own country.

Qin Yiren's experience is the best interpretation, since he was placed under house arrest, no one has ever come to visit, and the middle-aged man claimed to be Qin Yiren's friend, which really surprised Zhao Ping.

"Huh!" The middle-aged man let out a burst of laughter and said, "It's not true to say that they are friends, but I've only met a few times." ”

"Oh. Nodding acquaintance. I'll just say, even Qin Guo has given up on him, who cares about Qin Yiren's outcast? Zhao Ping nodded heavily and asked, "In that case, what is the matter with Mr. here?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that three years ago, Qin Yiren borrowed a thousand gold from me, and I came to ask for a debt." The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, which made people feel as warm as a spring breeze.

"Asking for a debt?" Zhao Ping almost laughed and said, "Sir, I'm going to be disappointed, Qin Yiren is penniless, he can't eat enough, he can't dress warmly, how can he get money?" What's more, it's still a thousand gold. ”

The gold of the Warring States period is the gold cake, which is in the shape of a horseshoe, and is also called "horseshoe gold", which is equivalent to the popular saying "gold coin". The amount of gold is a lot of money, even if Qin Yiren is sold, it is not worth this amount.

"It doesn't matter." As soon as the middle-aged man waved his hand, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Hmm. What if the gentleman recovers the debt? "Zhao Ping is a greedy person and will not let go of such an opportunity.

"If the official gives me convenience, I will naturally repay you and divide you into two points." The middle-aged man groaned slightly, and immediately replied.

"Points" means one percent, two points is two percent, and it is twenty gold, which is not a small amount for Zhao Ping. However, he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was very rich and would never miss such a good opportunity, so he shook his head and said, "Yicheng." ”

"The officials are too much. Three points. "Middle-aged people have doubled.

"Eight points."

"Four points."

"Five points."

"Deal."

The two bargained and reached an agreement of five percent. Five percent is fifty gold, Zhao Ping smiled and said, "Sir is offended, your servant can't enter." Sir please. ”

The middle-aged man said to the old man, "Daddy Ximen, you are waiting here." I'll go back as soon as I go. Flicking the sleeves of his robe, he strode into the courtyard gate and walked away quickly.

Father Simon answered, and walked to the side with four guards to wait.

"Can he really beg for money?" A red-clothed official asked softly in Zhao Ping's ear.

"God knows." Zhao Ping shrugged.

"And the lord is still bargaining with him?" The little man in red was puzzled.

Zhao Ping raised his chin proudly and said, "If we can really ask for it, we will have an extra amount of money." If I can't get it, I have nothing to lose. This is something that must not be missed. ”

"Your Excellency is clever." The little man in red was busy patting his ass.

"Rustle!" The soft-soled brocade boots stepped on the leaves, making a rustling sound, and a ** smell rushed into his nose, and the middle-aged man frowned, but nodded heavily.

"So good! This Qin Yi's life is better than death, don't worry about him not bowing to me. The middle-aged man secretly turned his mind.

"Stop!" The middle-aged man was walking, only to hear a broken drink, and a tall man stood in front of him.

The middle-aged man took a look, and saw that although the man in front of him was very tall, he was so thin that he couldn't look like he was wearing a robe on his body, empty, as if he was on a bamboo pole.

"Are you ......?" the middle-aged man asked.

The person who stood in the way was Ma Gai, and said with a calm face: "I'm asking you." ”

"I'm a friend of the Inhuman Son, and I'm here to visit the Son, so please say hello." The middle-aged man explained the reason.

"Childe's friend? How come I haven't seen you in my life? "Ma Gai is Qin Yiren's personal guard, and he knows Qin Yiren's affairs very well, and almost all of Qin Yiren's friends know it.

"In Xia Lu Buwei, I met Gongzi in the Qin State." The middle-aged man reported his home, and it turned out to be the famous profiteer Lu Buwei.

"Lü Buwei?" Ma Gai frowned, thought for a while, but had never heard of this person, and said, "You wait." ”

Yu met in the Qin State, it must have been before Ma Gai was sent to protect Qin Yiren, so he had to know that Ma Gai dropped a sentence and walked away quickly.

"Strange things, strange things." Lu Buwei looked at Ma Gai's back, and shouted strange things: "I heard that Qin Yiren can't eat enough and can't dress warmly, how can his personal guards be so thickly dressed?" ”

When Lu Buwei came to see Qin Yiren, he naturally did the business of buying a country, he had already inquired about Qin Yiren's situation clearly, and knew that Qin Yiren was penniless, had no food to eat, and no clothes to wear. However, when he saw Ma Gai, he saw that Ma Gai was dressed thickly, although the robe was extremely ill-fitting and extremely incommensurate with Ma Gai's thin figure like a bamboo pole, but it was extremely inconsistent with the situation he imagined that his clothes were not covered, or he was shivering from the cold.

Where did he think that Qin Yiren robbed Zhao Ping and them and got warm clothes.

"Is my message wrong?" Lu Buwei's brows furrowed, and he pondered: "The more difficult Qin Yiren is, the better, so that he can obey me; If his situation is not bad, it will be difficult for me to succeed in what I have set out. What should I do? ”

Let's say that Qin Yiren leaned against the wall to bask in the sun, and the warm winter sun was shining on his body, which was warm and comfortable, and Qin Yiren was a little lazy.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and I saw Ma Gai coming quickly and asked, "Is there something?" ”

"Young man, there is a man named Lu Buwei who wants to see you." Magai replied loudly.

"Lü Buwei?" Qin Yiren jumped up from the ground as if he had installed a spring, his mouth wide open, and his face was surprised.

"Yes, he calls himself Lü Buwei. Childe, what's going on? Ma Gai saw Qin Yiren's appearance in his eyes, and he was very surprised, didn't he just come to visit alone, and he was so surprised: "He claimed to have known Gongzi in the Qin State, but it turned out to be true." ”

The reason why Qin Yiren was so surprised was because Lü Buwei's purchase of the country was so famous, and it was still circulating two thousand years later.

What's even worse is that it was Qin Yiren himself who was bought, can he not be surprised?

Besides, he was still talking about Lu Buwei, and he was still thinking about how to deal with Lu Buwei's purchase of the country, whether to accept or reject, he thought about it for so long, but there was still no result.

"My current situation is extremely difficult, it is a matter of life and death, I can't be careless, and it is imperative to ask for help. If the price is right, it's not impossible. Qin Yiren's thoughts turned: "I'm a seller, then, I'll sell it at a good price." ”

Thinking of this, Qin Yiren's brows wrinkled together: "How can this be sold for a good price?" It's a loss to be so unbargaining like that soft egg that you have to be cuckolded. Well, there it is. ”

The light in Qin Yiren's eyes flickered, like the stars at night, extremely bright.

"Childe, do you see it or not?" Seeing that Qin Yiren was silent, Ma Gai hurriedly reminded him.

"Margai, you're so." Qin Yiren beckoned, Ma Gai came over with his ear, and Qin Yiren muttered in his ear for a while.

"This ......" Margai was surprised, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
