Chapter 209: Buying Lives
Gan Chengze found that he was still overthinking.
"We are the ship of the Tang family in Shanghai, and my son-in-law wants to invite the black master to come over the boat." According to Xu Yuanzuo's instructions, Gan Chengze sent a forged Tang Mansion name post.
This famous post is strictly in accordance with the imitation that Tang Jilu gave to Xu Yuanzuo at the beginning, not to mention that the black people may not have seen the real one, and even if they have seen it, they can't tell the authenticity.
Sure enough, the name of the senior official of Zhengsanpin is still very useful, and Heijuren only brought four Xiao Xi Chang with him, and he personally got on the boat.
This time on the ship, it is naturally self-defeating.
In a short time, the black master "ordered" a few people to come over from his own boat to wait for the call.
After a while, the black master asked someone to bring some clothes, food, and special products from the business bed.
A little longer...... There was no one on the black family's big ship, and Gan Chengze led a team of people, together with An Liuye's men, to board the ship and tie everyone up.
By the time Xu Yuanzuo and Luo Zhenquan arrived, Master Hei had already been tied up on the boat for most of the day.
Luo Zhenquan entered the cabin, clenched his fists and smiled: "Black master, look up for a long time." ”
Although the black master was in a predicament, his complexion was fine, he glanced at Luo Zhenquan and said, "Where is the strong man from?" Listening to the accent doesn't feel like it's local. ”
The negotiations with the business couch were all personally brought by Xu Yuanzuo, Luo Zhenquan still showed up for the first time, plus Gan Chengze was a newcomer, they were all fresh faces, so naturally it would not be reminiscent of Xu Yuanzuo, who had always been "polite and bowing".
Luo Zhenquan glanced at this black master, and he was really seven points arrogant and three points gangster, and he was afraid that he was the most black-hearted among scholars, and most of them were the most famous in the underworld. Such an amphibious talent, if Xu Yuanzuo hadn't been born out of nowhere, no one might be able to suppress him.
"It's just passing. There is less entanglement, so look for your aging edge. Luo Zhenquan returned to the past in a trance, and smoothly got to the point.
The black old man was a bachelor, and said: "The rivers and lakes are in emergency, what is a little silver tael!" I brought five hundred taels on the ship, and the hero took it first. ”
"The money has been taken." Luo Zhenquan said: "I have to borrow another 50,000 taels." ”
"Huh. Scold. Hei Juren laughed dryly: "I respect you as a good man, how can you say such unremarkable words?" How can anyone have so much silver? ”
Luo Zhenquan smiled: "Gossip less." The eldest of my family said: The legs and arms are 10,000 taels each, and the head and body will be spared, so send someone to redeem them. Less than 10,000 taels doesn't count, so one tael less is a leg, or an arm. ”
Hei Juren saw Luo Zhenquan holding a knife and gesturing on his body, obviously a veteran, and his head hung down: "Let go of me, I'll write a letter home." Tell them to bring money. ”
Luo Zhenquan beckoned, and Gan Chengze came in with an archer, pointed a bow and arrow at Heijuren, and untied the rope.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone have long been prepared, which is the minimum work attitude.
"Don't write it to your family, it's just to worry your family." Luo Zhenquan said with good intentions: "Write directly to the silver cellar, just say that you want to change the place to store the silver, and ask our people to bring it back by the way." ”
Xu Yuanzuo stood outside and listened. Seeing that Luo Zhenquan asked for 50,000 taels when he opened his mouth, he secretly said in his heart: You kid is really a lion's mouth. If he really wants to give you fifty thousand taels...... Sixteen taels and one pounds, that is three thousand one hundred and twenty-five pounds, that is, one and a half tons! One thousand taels is enough.
Luo Zhenquan is indeed a lion's mouth, waiting for this black old man to sit on the ground and bargain. Who knew that the black master didn't make a bargain, he accepted it in one bite, and wrote it when he picked up the pen.
This sudden refreshment surprised both Xu Yuanzuo and Luo Zhenquan.
"It's not like I haven't kidnapped people." Heiju said: "Ten tied up and nine tore the ticket." There is also a sinking underwater, how can those who eat black rice have a reason to take money and release people? ”
Luo Zhenquan subconsciously glanced out the window and was easily discovered by this black man.
"I know you're just a guy, and there's a big guy behind it." Hei raised people's hands without shaking, and the pen was like flying: "Since he didn't come out to see me." Presumably acquaintances. Knowing that once the two sides meet, then I know that I will definitely die, and I am afraid that I will not give money. Hehe. ”
Luo Zhenquan said: "You are a clear door." ”
"It's easy to say, go along." Heiju said: "Today I admit it." I think of these 50,000 taels: If I die at your hands, I hope you will also give me a good time, right, I give the silver so refreshed, are you embarrassed to torture me? ”
Luo Zhenquan raised the corners of his mouth: "That's to make sure you don't get offended." ”
After Hei Juren finished writing the note, he said, "There is one more: I am not short of silver." Over the years, I have controlled the commercial tax of the business couch, counting the income from my land, and the monopoly of the silk business, which year has not been recorded in the account of more than 100,000 taels? When I go, the money is cheap, and you can't make a big deal, right? It's better like this, anyway, I haven't seen your big guy, 50,000 taels is your brother's hard-earned money, and when I get home, I will send another 100,000 taels to the hero to drink, how about it? ”
No sane person would believe the words of the Black Lifter. As soon as he is released ashore, maybe in the blink of an eye, the inspection department and the green hand will come to arrest people.
However, the temptation of 100,000 taels is difficult for everyone who has greed in their hearts to resist.
Does Xu Yuanzuo have greed? He is not a saint, naturally he is. And as a man of great ambition, he was never ashamed of greed, but believed that it was the driving force of human progress. If everyone is like a monk who is quiet and inactive, the wild grass and wild vegetables will be satisfied...... Humans are still in caves!
Luo Zhenquan is also greedy, otherwise how could he have the face to work with Xu Yuanzuo, who is dozens of years younger than him? He asked people to stare at Hei Juren, and he took the note to see Xu Yuanzuo.
"Good man," cried the black man, "you take 50,000 taels first, and then wait for the other 100,000 taels to be loaded on the ship, and then talk about whether you let me go or not." In the future, if you have been in business, we will still be good friends. ”
Luo Zhenquan glanced at him with a puzzled look and walked out quickly.
Xu Yuanzuo had already returned to the cabin, so as not to be heard by the black lifters.
"That's the way it is, this thief is still willing to spend 100,000 taels to buy his life." Luo Zhenquan said: "Speaking of which, he has no evidence that we did it......"
"He doesn't need evidence." Xu Yuanzuo corrected: "He is black." As long as you suspect someone, you can burn anyone's house. Evidence, hehe, that's something that the county lord plays with. ”
Luo Zhenquan also makes sense when he thinks about it: "But even if he attacks us, we are not afraid of him." Another group of security guards is about to arrive. ”
"If there is only one day to catch a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief? After all, there will be a day when he can't prevent being overshadowed. Xu Yuanzuo said: "At that time, we may not be able to get 100,000 taels." He may not let us go because of 100,000 taels. ”
Luo Zhenquan was still itching in his heart, sighed, and said, "Okay, since you have spoken, I will naturally listen to you." ”
"But as long as he has fifty thousand taels, it looks like a loss......" Xu Yuanzuo narrowed his eyes, stared at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought. (To be continued......)
