Chapter 475: Shrewd Hasen
Outside the carriage, dozens of elite soldiers in iron armor, armed with long swords and shields, surrounded Li Yunyang's carriage.
Li Yunyang squinted his eyes, he didn't know what was wrong, could it be that by the king's side, there was also this Caparos's internal response?
So as soon as Li Yunyang received the assassination mission and came to Gray Limburg, he was discovered? However, he had obviously changed his appearance and changed his attire, so it stands to reason that even if Caparos knew that Li Yunyang would come to assassinate him, it would be impossible to recognize his disguise.
Suddenly, Li Yunyang looked at the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Hasen, who was standing anxiously on the side, and kept glancing at him, the index finger and thumb of his right hand kept rubbing, as if he was hinting at him.
Li Yunyang immediately understood what was going on, and directly in front of these city gate guards, he took out a large handful of gold coins from the space ring, stuffed them into the arms of the city gate guards in front of him, and said with a smile: "It is really hard for you military masters to guard the city gate, this little money should be regarded as the tea money that I will reward everyone for the lord, and please be accommodating." ”
Seeing the large handful of gold coins that Li Yunyang took out, and feeling the heavy feeling in his arms, the guards of the city gate, who were originally tense, suddenly opened their eyebrows and laughed, and said: "Recently, it has been rumored that there is a killer who wants to assassinate the lord, this lord should be careful after entering the city, if there is anything you need help with, just come to our brother." ”
The soldiers guarding the gate of Grey Forest Fort pretended that nothing had happened at this moment, and they didn't mention anything to Li Yunyang to show proof of identity, so they let him enter the city directly.
After passing through the city gate, Hasen and Li Yunyang rode in the same carriage, and looked at Li Yunyang for a while before sighing and saying: "Master Leilin, in fact, you don't have to give them so many gold coins just now, like these vampires in Gray Limburg, if you give them ten gold coins, you can send them away." ”
Lei Lin is the pseudonym used by Li Yunyang, and because Hasen didn't know his identity, but saw that Li Yunyang was by no means an ordinary rich businessman, he added an honorific title of lord to his name.
Li Yunyang knew that Hasen was a kind reminder, so he pretended to be a person who rarely went out and said: "President Hasen, thank you for the reminder, I don't go out much, so I don't know the rules here, and I thought that the price of entering the city gate here is the same as that of the imperial capital." ”
"Haha, Master Leilin, there are too many differences between here and the emperor. ”
Listening to Li Yunyang's words, Hasen thought that he was a descendant of a big family or a wealthy family, and he had traveled around to gain experience, so he immediately became a friend and said: "If it was in the imperial capital, no one would dare to assassinate the elder brother of His Majesty the King so blatantly, you must know that from three years ago to now, Gray Limburg has executed more than a hundred assassins." ”
Just now, Li Yunyang heard the city gate guards remind him of the assassins, and thought that the king wanted him to bear the black cauldron, so he deliberately leaked the assassination of Caparos.
Unexpectedly, it was because of Caparos that he was assassinated three years ago, although he didn't know the truth of the matter, but this matter was definitely a great opportunity for Li Yunyang.
Since the Assassins had already appeared three years ago, no matter how strong Caparos's vigilance was and how many masters there were, what more than a hundred Assassins had not done in three years would definitely make them numb.
If you neglect to take precautions, you will definitely find an opportunity for Li Yunyang to take advantage of, so Li Yunyang immediately pretended to be shocked and said, "Oh, there are such things, President Hassen, if you have time, why don't you tell me about it?"
Unexpectedly, Hasen pouted and said: "Actually, there are assassins, but there are not as many as a hundred, anyway, I heard from a friend in the lord's mansion, saying that the lord's wife three years ago, that is, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, wanted to kill the lord's concubine because she fell out of favor, but she didn't expect to be killed by the concubine, the lord loved this concubine deeply, in order to avoid her being punished, so he made up the matter at this moment." ”
"After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a scene of thieves shouting to catch thieves. ”
Hearing this, Li Yunyang immediately laughed, if it was really the assassin assassination caused by Caparos himself, then the matter would be simpler, maybe the other party would not be defenseless at all.
Hasan nodded and said with a smile: "Who says it's not, anyway, after the Prime Minister knew that his daughter was dead, although he was furious, but there was nothing he could do, after all, his daughter was killed by the assassin in order to protect the brother of His Majesty the King." ”
Speaking of this, Hasen opened the curtain of the carriage, looked left and right, and found that no one was eavesdropping around, so he whispered to Li Yunyang and gossiped: "However, after that, the lord really encountered several assassinations, and he died for life, and everyone said at that time that this was the prime minister avenging his daughter." ”
Because Hassan wanted to have a good relationship with Li Yunyang, he told him a lot of things that should not be said, which made Li Yunyang laugh, how ironic it would be if Caparros died under his own rumored assassination.
Judging from Hasen's introduction, this Caparos is an extremely lascivious person, who has to take at least one concubine every year, and has also done things to rob people's daughters. is such a scumbag, even if Li Yunyang kills him, he will not have any guilt.
The two chatted for a long time, and Li Yunyang, who had only planned to take Hassen's hitchhike to Gray Limburg, learned that Hassan was going to attend a banquet held by Caparos tonight, so he wanted to go with Hassan under the pretext of wanting to see it.
And Hasen happened to be still looking for an excuse to keep Li Yunyang, and after hearing this, he immediately said that there was no problem, and at the same time invited Li Yunyang to live in an inn with him.
After Li Yunyang agreed, Hasen's convoy first went to the commercial street west of Gray Limburg, Hasen came this time to purchase a batch of farm tools, the autumn harvest is approaching, these things are also in demand.
Hasen, who is in his fifties, looks less like a businessman and more like an honest farmer, and he also has a somewhat submissive attitude when he speaks.
However, once someone thinks that Hasen is a fat sheep that can be slaughtered at will, then he must pay a lot of price.
As far as Li Yunyang looked at all the way, he found that more than three shops were confused by Hasen's extremely deceptive appearance, and he was forced to purchase all the goods he needed at a low price that was half a percentage higher than the low price of the goods.
After paying the advance payment for ten truckloads of goods, Hasson smiled at Li Yunyang with a smug face: "Master Leilin, my territory is relatively barren, in order to make those farmers spend less money, every time I come to purchase goods, it is like a war, which makes you laugh." ”
When Li Yunyang saw Hasen say this, his originally smiling face suddenly hung a trace of sadness, although it quickly dissipated, he was still seen clearly by him, he smiled and said: "It's okay, President Hasen has done a good thing, how can I laugh at you." ”
Judging from the two hours of observing Hasen's purchase of goods, Li Yunyang can't be sure whether what he said is true or false, but the only thing that can be determined is that Hasen's bargaining ability is really unique.
It was probably because the merchants of Grey Limburg had been deceived by Hasson's honest appearance, so when Hassen bought goods, he never looked for shops with chamber of commerce stewards, but all went to shops that did not know him, but only young apprentices looked at the shops.
Whether it is to buy ten sickles at the reserve price and ask the other party to send one more sickle handle, or to buy ten hoes at the reserve price and let people send two straw hats, it can be seen that Hasen is a strongman who is open source and throttling.
After a lot of trading, Hasen not only spent the lowest level to buy the goods he needed, but also got hundreds of sickle handles and hundreds of straw hats, which was a lot of money.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Yunyang was on an assassination mission and couldn't reveal his identity, he would have wanted to directly recruit Hasen into his subordinates and become his financial officer.
However, Li Yunyang still used the excuse to inquire that Hasen was from Xinluo Town, a hundred miles away from Gray Limburg, and after knowing this, even if he couldn't recruit Hasen this time, there would be opportunities in the future.
After chatting with Hasen in the inn for a long time, when it was close to the evening banquet, Li Yunyang went back to the house to take a bath, changed into the clothes of ordinary nobles attending banquets, and also took off all the gemstone rings on his hands, trying not to make himself appear so conspicuous, so as not to destroy the chance of assassination.
Hasen was a little uncomfortable with Li Yunyang's sudden change from the nouveau riche dress up before to the appearance of a mature and stable aristocrat.
It's just that Hasson suddenly thought that maybe Li Yunyang is not a descendant of an upstart, but a descendant of a big family, and the look just now is just a disguise.
After thinking about it carefully, Hassen felt that the reason why Li Yunyang suddenly changed his outfit was probably because he regarded him as a friend he could make, so he showed his true side.
This idea made Hasen excited for a while, if he can climb up to the big man Li Yunyang, then the day when he will soar is just around the corner!
However, if you let Hasen know that Li Yunyang's change is just for the convenience of assassination, and by the way, if he leaves a way back for himself, I don't know what kind of expression his face will be.
And the two of them rode to the gate of the lord's mansion in Caparos, and Hassen did not take Li Yunyang directly in. Instead, he walked to the two guys who were dressed in old aristocratic clothes, trying to straighten their waists and show their due aristocratic bearing, but because of the holes and shortness of their clothes, they had to bend their bodies again when they were about to show their flesh halfway.
I saw Hassen smile and salute the two of them, and said with a smile: "Respected nobleman, I don't know what I want, have you brought it?"
