Chapter 140: Digging a Pit and Calculating
"It's a small meaning, but it's not a respect! I hope the staff will laugh!"
I have to say that Lokia is indeed better than that Shabak, as soon as he entered the door, before Tarex could speak, he directly put a small stack of gold coin bills respectfully on the table in front of Tarex.
Obviously, it was a personal welcome from Tarex.
However, although the bill was placed on the table, Tarex did not take it, and just looked at him quietly.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward.
What's going on?
Lokia suddenly muttered in his heart, did he want the filial piety money of the Northern Governor?
However, he was not at ease to hand over such a large sum of money to this man, although he was a staff member of the Northern Governor, but who knew if he would not admit it after taking the money? Therefore, Lokia still wanted to hand over the money to the Northern Governor in person.
Therefore, in the next moment, he tugged at the coat of arms around his neck, and then asked in a low voice, "Can I see Lord Beidu?"
"I'm solely responsible for this. ”
Of course, Tarex understood why this guy wanted to see the Northern Governor by name, so in the next moment, he directly tapped his finger lightly on the table, and the meaning was very clear.
"I'm ......," Lokia's hand quickly clutched in his pocket, "I'll visit another day!"
At this time, Lokia's mind was very confused, and he simply wanted to escape from this room in a hurry.
However, Tarex did not speak, still looking at him quietly, with a grim smile on his face.
He didn't believe that this guy Lokia really dared to go, if he dared to go, I am afraid that there would be no Axe Gang in the imperial capital in the future.
He's a smart guy and knows what to choose.
And it turned out to be exactly as Tarex had expected, as Lokia turned and took three steps before coming to a sudden halt, then he glanced back at Tarex before standing back in his original position.
"Is it really okay to hand it over to you?" asked Lokia tentatively.
Tarex suddenly smiled, and that smile was full of contempt, "I heard that the boss of the Axe Gang, Lokia, is ruthless, decisive, and reckless, and now it seems that this is no more than that!"
"You ......" Lokia was suddenly panicked by the other party's words, but there was no way to refute it.
"Since I represent the Northern Governor, this matter must be approved by the Northern Governor, do you think I will do something disrespectful beyond my duty?" Tarrix's tone was extremely bitter, which made Lokia feel very uncomfortable.
However, after hearing this, Lokia's guard also let go a little, because what this staff member said was very reasonable.
If it weren't for the approval of the Northern Governor, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to abuse his power if he was given a hundred dares!
"Don't be angry with a rough man like me who hasn't read a book!" After thinking about this layer, Lokia immediately greeted him with a smile, and in the next moment, he carefully took out a large stack of gold coin bills from the middle layer of his clothes, and put it in front of Tarix with a cautious look, as if he was holding his own life.
But Tarex still didn't reach for it, and Lorkia didn't let go either.
The two faced each other in silence for a full five minutes, and finally Lokia relented, he put down his money bag and took a step back: "Your Excellency, you order!"
Clearly, he just picked up the stack of gold bills and flipped through them, and then said with a gloomy face, "The number of this money is wrong, right?"
Hearing this, Lokia suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, what does it mean to say that the number is not right?
"My lord, this number ......"
"I said less is less!" Tarix instantly tossed the ticket back on the table, looking unwanted. In fact, he did this only to stimulate Lokia so that he could come up with more money, and as for the amount, he gave as little as he wanted.
"My lord, you ......" Lokia suddenly looked depressed, what did he mean that less is less? Who does he think he is, Beidu?
What's more, this amount now is more than what he gave to Audi at the beginning, including the money he wanted to buy the Tiandihui site.
That's not enough? This is completely Chiguoguo's blackmail!
"The amount you gave to the previous Northern Governor Audi is 120,000 gold coins per year! Now you give such a amount, it is nothing more than to buy Shabak and their territory from me, your appetite must be a little big!" Although Tarex did not count the number of the stack of bills, he knew by visual inspection that it was far more than 120,000, at least 200,000, and this guy's ambition was getting bigger and bigger.
"My lord, didn't you just talk to Shabak...... Lokia was a little speechless, the reason why he would come up with so much more money was nothing more than to hear the conversation between Tarex and Shabak before, since the Northern Governor intends to unify the territory, what difference does it make to cooperate with Shabak or with him?
"You're saying I let him destroy your Axe Gang?" Tarex smiled sinisterly.
"Yes, my lord, why don't you make a price!"
From the outside, Lokia is calm, but no matter how well he pretends to be, he can't escape Tarex's piercing eyes.
"My price is very high, can you afford it?"
"......" Lokia's fist immediately clenched.
"One price, 500,000 per year!"
"500,000?" the price offered by the other party immediately made Lokia gasp, "My lord, are you kidding? 500,000 gold coins, this amount is really ......"
How could Lokia not know how much money could be earned every year from the Northern Governor's territory? Excluding the daily expenses of the brothers and the filial piety money given to the Northern Governor, there was only about 100,000 gold coins left at most every year, and now the other party actually opened his mouth at a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan, which ......
"Is it embarrassing? If you monopolize those profitable businesses and expand them a little more, will you still be so embarrassed?" Seeing that Lokia was a little unreasonable, Tarex immediately reminded him with "kindness".
"Money-making business?huh?" was pointed out by Tarex, Lokia's eyes suddenly burst into two excited lights, yes, although that guy Shabak doesn't do those money-making businesses, but if he takes over the other party's territory and sees those businesses grow bigger, what is the mere 500,000 gold coins?
But the premise is that Shabak's territory belongs to him, otherwise if there is such a roadblock, even if he wants to become bigger, it will get in the way.
"My lord, if I go out, then Shabak their territory ......," Rocky Adam asked in a low voice.
Tarex sneered, "Of course it's yours!"
"Really?"
"What do you say?"
"Well, if the staff can promise on behalf of the Northern Governor to transfer their territory to me, 500,000 gold coins per year...... I'm out!" After a while, Lokia was ruthless, and immediately agreed happily.
Tarex smiled, then put the money away, "You, better not go too far!"
Hearing this, a look of extreme excitement suddenly appeared on Lokia's face, judging from his understanding, this was obviously the acquiescence of the Northern Governor to his direct use of force, as long as the movement was not too big, then it would be no problem.
Therefore, after receiving the promise, he was satisfied, and after stooping and saluting, he quickly withdrew and immediately turned back to the lair, because he had to arrange it as soon as possible, in case Shabak and they were on guard.
"Stupid people always understand words more stupidly!" Seeing Lokia leave, the corners of Tarex's mouth suddenly hung a strange arc.
In his words, it means that if you don't die, you won't die!
......
At the same time, in an alley in a noble district in the north of the inner city.
A suspicious and ragged man was leaning against the wall, gasping slightly, his terrified gaze wandering around all the time, the slightest noise around him making him tremble, and his face was full of fear.
And just then, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the door of the leather sign villa across the alley.
The man hiding in the shadows suddenly looked in.
"Miss, are you back today? Why didn't you let me pick you up?" After the carriage came to a stop, an old man hurried up to meet him.
The girl who got out of the carriage smiled faintly, did not speak, and then prepared to enter the villa accompanied by the old man.
"Is that her?"
The man in the alley seemed to recognize the young lady, but when he tried to get up and chase him out, a noisy footstep suddenly came.
"Excuse me, have you seen one of these people?" Suddenly there was a group of soldiers, their black and white uniforms undoubtedly indicating that they were members of the Imperial Guard, and they seemed to be looking for someone at this time.
After the girl glanced at the portrait, her expression was obviously stunned for a moment, but after a few breaths, she still shook her head and said that she had not seen it.
"Excuse me, if you see this person, please let me know immediately!" the officer was polite and polite, but it still seemed difficult to hide his eagerness to find someone.
So soon they left!
"Miss, the inner city of the imperial capital seems to be very chaotic recently, there are always some unidentified people who come to inquire about this and that, and I don't know what the newly appointed Northern Governor is doing all day, and I don't care!" The old man on the side looked at the soldiers who were gradually moving away, and his complaints were suddenly vented.
And suddenly heard the word "Beidu", the girl who had turned around and walked in, the pace under her feet also paused for a moment, but the next moment it returned to normal, and then disappeared directly into the villa in the sight.
