Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Plan
But Lin An has also followed his father in business for a long time, and he has also seen all kinds of officialdom, not to mention that the object of this deal is still the golden person, which has to make Lin Anxin feel a little uneasy.
During this siege, Lin An also got a piece of news, that is, only the Jin people were in this siege, and the Liao people were only used as soldiers captured by the Jin people to attack the Great Song Dynasty as a vanguard for them, so it was rumored that the Liao and Jin attacked the Song Dynasty together. It's just that the information of the common people during the war years is blocked, and the rest of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty are also very shocked that the Great Liao, who fought with the Great Song Dynasty, will be destroyed by the Jin Dynasty.
The Jin people have always been scheming, so Lin An can't help but leave one more way back. He decided to see the golden-jeweler again.
"Uncle Helian, I've admired your name for a long time. My father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. Business should be good lately, right?" Lin An bent down and bowed to the golden old man in front of him.
"Haha, I don't know what happened to my eldest nephew today? I don't think I'm here to talk to the old man, right?" The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Andao.
Lin An knew that the old fox in front of him had become a refinement, and he could occupy half of the market with himself in the business field, Helian Shi and Lin Tiandong, one north and one south, were widely spread in the jewelry market. Helian Shi monopolized the jewelry of the entire northern market with the means of reaching the sky with a wide vein, and its means were more because it had the royal background of the Jin Dynasty, which could support it to transport the jewelry of the Western Regions to the north of the Central Plains in a flawless manner.
And Lin An's father, Lin Tiandong, is famous for his spicy knowledge and the eye-catching market in the south. Although Helian Shi and Lin Tiandong are equally famous in the north and south, they have been secretly in a competitive relationship, but because of the scope of the country, Helian Shi has never been able to take the Lin family in the southern market. However, Lin An's father's method of dealing with Helian Shi was to bribe him with a lot of money to help him safely transport the jade from the Western Regions back to the south. Therefore, Helian Shi and the Lin family are competitive on the one hand, and cooperative relations on the other.
"Uncle Helian is discerning, the little nephew is indeed here this time because of what I said last time to rescue my father-in-law. Lin An said.
Helian Shi glanced at Lin An fixedly, then said with a smile: "Oh, didn't this matter have been negotiated last time? ”
Lin An said: "Uncle Helian, my nephew doesn't doubt my uncle's ability and strength at all, just to find out how tomorrow's exchange will be carried out." The little nephew is also well prepared. ”
When Helian Shi heard that Lin An was here for this matter, he suddenly let go of that trace of uneasiness in his heart. At the beginning of Lin An's sudden visit, Helian Shi thought that Lin An was beginning to be suspicious, but now it seems that this hairy boy knows nothing at all.
Helian Shi said: "It turns out that my nephew came for this matter, but in fact, my uncle doesn't know much about this matter, but he only knows that a general with the surname Wanyan in the army is responsible for this matter." will be held accountable for this matter. I don't know exactly how. ”
"Can the little nephew ask to see this Wanyan general?" asked Lin An.
I saw Helian Shi stand up, returned to his seat after walking around, took a sip of tea and sighed: "Nephew, it's not a secret, I'm not very familiar with this Wanyan general, and I also entrusted someone to turn it around, you know that although my uncle is barely a royal relative, he is only a distant relative." This General Wanyan is a royal relative of my Jin Kingdom. It's not something you and me like a small trader can see when you say you can see it. But you don't need to worry about this matter, you are not the only one who will redeem people tomorrow. ”
Lin An listened to Helian Shi's long list of words, secretly suppressed some doubts in his heart, and pretended to nod in response. Then he said, "Then I don't know where to pay the ransom tomorrow?"
"Oh, I know this, tomorrow the butler of my house will lead you to the main camp and redeem your father-in-law. Helian Shi said.
"I see. Good. That nephew has a lot of trouble today, and he will come back tomorrow. After speaking, Lin An took out a gold ingot from his arms and handed it to Helian Shi.
Helian Shi began to pretend to wave his hand and not accept it, and finally pretended that he couldn't accept it, and kept saying kind words. After Lin An left, Helian Shi sat down and thought, "Could it be that this kid has any suspicions? Don't worry about it for now, if this kid goes to the barracks with the housekeeper tomorrow, then the Lin family will collapse. Even if you Lin Tiandong hid in the south, it would be useless, as long as you cut off your Lin inheritance, it would be like cutting off your incense. ”
After Lin An came out, he thought about what Helian Shi said just now. Why do you have to pay the ransom to go to the barracks, but according to the news, all the captives are imprisoned in the imperial city. Tomorrow, I will be accompanied by the butler of Helian Fuzhong. And not Helian Shi himself. But as an intermediary person, Helian Shi kept saying that he was not familiar with General Wanyan, but he seemed to know all this. Could there be any fraud in this?
But at present, except for Helian Shi who can help him contact that Wanyan General, there are other ways that he can't even touch the border. I knew him only in the city, and if I couldn't trust him, I couldn't do it.
Lin An made up his mind and made two arrangements to prepare, if something really happened tomorrow, then he would implement the second plan, and there was only one such opportunity. Missing this opportunity is not only my father-in-law, but also my own disaster.
That night, Lin An found the old housekeeper and said, "Uncle, don't you want to save people? I won't tell you anything, I also came here to save people in the city, isn't your young lady worried about the ransom......?" Well, this is my message for the person I want to save, and you can open it tomorrow when you come to the city to exchange. Just hand him over to General Wanyan. This is two hundred taels of gold. In addition to the ransom for saving people, I paid you for your care during this time and the life-saving grace of your eldest lady. ”
The old housekeeper was very shocked and looked at the one named Hanako who he and the eldest lady rescued that day, but he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it. And now with this ransom, the master can be saved, even if he is asked to do anything, he is willing to agree. So he went very much to Chen Su's house to report the good news to Chen Su.
"Miss, miss, good news. The old butler shouted happily outside the house like a child.
Chen Su thought that tomorrow was the last day of the ransom period, and he had not yet raised the money to rescue his father, so he could only wipe his tears in the room alone. At this time, he heard the old butler shouting happily outside the house, so he wiped his tears and went out and asked, "Old butler, what makes you so happy?"
