"Lord Lin, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules."

Sun Feng had also encountered officials who came to escort the tributes in the past, and none of them were unreasonable with the surname Lin.

Those people were nothing more than entertaining some good wine and food, and a few more flattering words were just enough, and the man surnamed Lin actually asked him directly for money.

"General Sun, it's a long way to the capital, and the brothers will inevitably have a time when they are sleepy and lazy, and if the tribute is less than a penny, the official won't know anything."

Lord Lin looked like he was winning, and he threatened Sun Feng that if he didn't give him benefits, he would throw away part of the tribute, and then plant it on Sun Feng's head, only saying that Sun Feng had handed over the tribute.

Quanzhou is such a border place, the imperial court will definitely take the opportunity to punish his crimes, if the surname Lin takes the opportunity to add a few words, then their supplies for this year will be completely lost.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Feng could only agree: "Okay, just do what Lord Lin says, but I don't know how much Lord Lin wants." ”

Sun Feng is also a straight intestine, where are the twists and turns of civil officials, and he directly asked Lord Lin how much he wanted.

Lord Lin chuckled: "It depends on your sincerity, General Sun." ”

Zuo Xingyan saw that Sun Feng couldn't contain the scene, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Don't worry, Lord Lin, let's make sure you are satisfied." ”

"This little lady is a talker, come to my room tonight, and I'll tell you what the capital is like."

Seeing Zuo Xingyan's beauty, Lord Lin wanted to take advantage of her position, and even wanted to step forward and hold Zuo Xingyan's hand.

Jing Beihan was looking at this Lord Lin from the side, but at this moment, seeing that he wanted to pull Zuo Xingyan's hand, where could he bear it, he came close and grabbed Lord Lin's hand: "Lord Lin, please respect yourself." ”

The short six words are sonorous and powerful, and people dare not take offense.

The strength of the hand gradually increased with the words.

Lord Lin's painful eyebrows were wrinkled together, and finally bared his teeth and grinned.

had to beg for mercy: "Let go, let go, I just don't touch her." ”

Hearing this, Jing Beihan loosened his shackles, and Lord Lin rubbed his sore wrist, looking unwilling, but due to Jing Beihan's force, he had to give up.

"General Sun, tomorrow you will escort the tribute and silver money over, and we will count the items and leave to return to the capital." Lord Lin said angrily.

"I know."

Sun Feng is a straight gut, and he is the most shameful for Lord Lin's behavior, and naturally he doesn't have a good face for Lord Lin.

Several people quickly parted unhappily.

The three of them left the post house, Sun Feng frowned on the side, where was he going to get this lot of money.

"General, don't worry, I already have an idea in my heart, go back to the island, and we'll think about it in the long run." Jing Beihan walked to Sun Feng's side and whispered, and signaled that he had ears on the wall.

Sure enough, there were a few postman servants who looked like sprinklers not far from them, trying to listen to them.

Sun Feng nodded, and a few people walked out quickly.

Back on the island, Sun Feng called the deputy general over.

"You go and count how much silver is left in the treasury, and how many things can be exchanged for silver coins, and I will ask for a specific number today." Sun Feng was in a bad mood, and even his tone was a little colder.

Seeing that Sun Feng was in a bad mood, the deputy general didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly took people down to count the warehouse.

"General, you don't really want to give that Lord Lin money, is there so much money in Quanzhou that there is no place to spend it?"

Zuo Xingyan laughed and said, this Sun Feng is too sincere.

"What else can I do if I don't give it to him? On the way, he wanted to say that the tribute was less, and it was planted on our heads, and Quanzhou would have no hope this year. ”

If there is another way, Sun Feng is not willing to give Lord Lin money, but who told him to offend a lot of people when he was in Beijing, if this Lord Lin returns to Beijing to join him, Quanzhou may have no way to live.

"On second thought, there might be something else." Jing Beihan said in a deep voice.

Lord Lin looked like a traitorous villain, even if Sun Feng gave him a full amount of money, he might not be able to say good things for Sun Feng.

"General, I have a solution, do you want to hear it?"

Zuo Xingyan smiled slyly, Jing Beihan knew that this Lord Lin was going to be unlucky.

Zuo Xingyan waved his hand to Sun Feng and Jing Beihan, signaling the two of them to come over, Zuo Xingyan muttered a few words in a low voice, and the three of them all showed smug smiles on their faces.

"Are you still afraid that Lord Lin will bite us back?"

"It's got to be you."

Sun Feng looked appreciative, this Zuo Xingyan and Jing Beihan were really his strongest help, and after they came to Quanzhou, he really gained a lot of benefits.

Sun Feng asked people to sort out the tribute and silver money to be handed over to Lord Lin on the second day overnight, but his expression was extremely happy, and the deputy general was also very strange, the general had to spend so much silver money to make a point, and he didn't feel distressed at all?

On the second day, when the appointed time came, Sun Feng took people and took a boat to transport goods to the opposite shore.

Lord Lin waited at the dock early, for fear that Sun Feng would regret it.

"Lord Lin came early."

Sun Feng smiled, his skin was no longer white after years of sun, wind and rain, and the wrinkles of different shades also made Sun Feng look slightly older than his peers, but at this moment he smiled sincerely and was very happy.

Although Lord Lin wondered why Sun Feng was so happy to pay the money, he couldn't take care of that much when he had the money.

"General Sun, don't talk nonsense, let's inspect the goods directly."

Sun Feng did not hesitate after hearing this, and asked his subordinates to open all the large boxes containing the tribute, all of which were very delicate jade.

Although they have not yet been polished and carved, the color revealed on them is enough to show their value.

Lord Lin checked the boxes one by one, and confirmed that all the jade was not much different from the jade brought by Jing Beihan and the others yesterday, and then nodded with satisfaction.

This errand is beautiful, and it is easy to ask for rewards when I go back.

"Lord Lin, this is for you."

Seeing that Lord Lin had already checked the tribute, Sun Feng hurriedly handed over the delicate box in his hand.

Lord Lin happily took the box and opened it.

I saw that there were six pieces of jade with excellent color in the box, and the jade was translucent throughout, and there was no trace of variegation, and the turquoise color showed their value.

"General Sun, what this official wants is money."

Although Lord Lin could see at a glance that this was a fine emerald jade, in order to get more, he only said that he wanted silver money.

Sun Feng hurriedly explained with a flattering face: "Lord Lin, this silver money is counted, but the jade is priceless. You also know the situation in Quanzhou, there is really no need to take out more money, but there are still some jade. These are all the treasures at the bottom of my box, so Lord Lin will laugh at it. ”

After speaking, Sun Feng pushed the box into Lord Lin's arms again.
