Good guy, just now Liu Dao said that he couldn't accomplish much because he was a man of few words. Now when I see gold, I become capable of doing things, but I just don't dare to do things that violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Noriyuki Hosokawa was heartbroken and bleeding, he was still very satisfied with Liu Dao's attitude. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Liu. I am also a serious businessman. How could I do something illegal?"
Liu Dao curled his lips, not sure whether he believed his lies or not.
"Haha..." Liu Dao suddenly laughed, not forgetting to hold the box tightly in his hand, and said: "Since you have invested so much money, what do you want me to do?"
Hosokawa Noriyuki suddenly laughed and said quickly: "Don't worry, Master Liu. I just want Master Liu to help pass the message so that I can ask to see the Governor."
Liu Dao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and asked with some disbelief: "Is it really that simple?"
If that were the case, Liu Dao would agree without hesitation. Just by sending a report, he could get a hundred taels of gold. There was no reason for him to extrapolate such a cheap thing.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki smiled reservedly and said, "Of course, if Mr. Liu can help me find out some information, it would be the best."
It turns out that helping him communicate was just incidental, and the real purpose was to wait for him here. Liu Dao looked at Hosokawa Mochiyuki meaningfully, and said with a sneer: "So you want me to betray the Governor?"
Liu Dao suddenly slapped his hand on the table, glared, and said sternly: "Tell you, you have found the wrong person!"
Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly stretched out his hand to comfort Liu Dao and explained: "Master Liu has misunderstood, misunderstood!"
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Liu Dao immediately stood up angrily and said, "You want to inquire about the information in the Governor's Mansion because you want to be detrimental to the Governor."
Noriyuki Hosokawa immediately explained, "How dare I do anything against the Governor? I want your help to find out how much food the Governor's Mansion has now."
When Liu Dao heard this, his anger subsided a little. He stared at Hosokawa Mochiyuki and asked with some disbelief: "Is it that simple?"
"Of course..." Hosokawa Mokiyuki quickly comforted Liu Dao and sat down again, smiling: "It's just such a request and nothing else. What do you think, Master Liu?"
Liu Dao looked relieved and immediately sat down following Hosokawa Mokiyuki's comfort. After all, there was a box on the table. Even if he didn't want to show respect to Hosokawa Mochiyuki, he had to show respect to the things in the box.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Dao said: "If that's the case, then we can help you ask."
With that said, he pushed the box towards Hosokawa Mochiichi and said, "But you should take this thing back."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki is not a fool. Of course he knows that Liu Dao wants the gold very much, but he just refuses because of his face.
"What did you say, sir?" Hosokawa Noriyuki immediately stopped Yanagata's movements.
However, Liu Dao insisted that he would not accept it, and said: "No reward for no merit, let's wait until we find out the information before we talk."
"Why do you need to be so open-minded, sir?" Hosokawa Mokiyuki pushed the wooden box in front of Liu Dao, patted it twice, and said: "My lord, just accept it with confidence. When the matter is completed, I will be rewarded generously. Besides, , Your Excellency, if you want to get news from other colleagues, you have to have some ideas, right?"
Liu Dao burst out laughing immediately, put the box away in his arms with peace of mind, patted Hosokawa Noriyuki on the shoulder and said: "You are still thoughtful. Leave this matter to us. If we didn't find out, The news you want. This thing will be returned with the original amount."
"No, no, no, sir, you are too humble. With your status in the Governor's Mansion, wouldn't it be easy to get a piece of information?" Hosokawa Mokiyuki complimented.
Liu Dao chuckled and looked at Hosokawa Mokiyuki meaningfully. This old boy obviously has a purpose, but he can agree first so that he can lure the snake out of the hole and let him reveal his fox tail.
After the two initially reached an agreement, they immediately felt much closer to each other. After drinking tea for a while and chatting with each other,
The two of them left the inn one after another.
After Yanado and Hosokawa Mochiyuki said goodbye, a happy sneer appeared on their faces and they touched the wooden box in their arms. He shook his head slightly and sighed secretly: "This old boy is willing to act generously now, but it's a pity that I, Liu Dao, am not stupid and will easily believe the lies of this old boy like you. But although I don't know what you want to do. , but the Governor must know."
Therefore, Liu Dao went directly to see the Governor without any delay.
Jiang Wei heard that his subordinates came to report that Liu Dao wanted to see him for something important. He happened to have nothing to do, so he asked someone to call Liu Dao in.
"Liu Dao, what do you want from this governor?"
Liu Dao lowered his head, stood still, and quickly took out the wooden box.
Jiang Wei took a look and asked rather strangely: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Dao raised his head and said truthfully: "Back to the Governor, this is..."
After telling the whole story in detail, Liu Dao stood aside with his head lowered, waiting for the Governor's words.
Jiang Wei glanced at the box with emotion. Even though there was one hundred taels of gold inside, he didn't even think about opening it. Now there is only one thought in his mind, that is, Komatsu Reiko is really anxious.
He casually put the box into Liu Dao's hand.
"Mr. Governor, what is this?" Liu Dao was extremely surprised.
It is impossible to say that Liu Dao can easily give up the one hundred taels of gold. Although he is not greedy for money, he came overseas just to make a fortune so that he could go back and honor his ancestors. With such a huge fortune, more than his previous year's income, how could he not be tempted?
But he still knows what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken. Like the silver pancakes Hosokawa Mochiyuki gave him before, they were money that he could safely take. The one hundred taels of gold in front of him was too hot for him to take.
Jiang Wei saw the confusion on Liu Dao's face and said with a smile: "Since he gave it to you, just keep it."
"Collect it, collect it?" Liu Dao became more and more confused as he listened. He was worried that the governor did not understand what he meant, so he said: "Sir, he is just trying to find out how much food there is in the governor's palace."
Jiang Wei nodded and said: "Well, I know. Since he wants you to inquire, then go and inquire. They have given you so much money, wouldn't it be inappropriate if you don't inquire? "
Not suitable? Then is it appropriate to betray the news about the Governor's Palace? Does it fit? Liu Dao swallowed his saliva, wondering why both the Governor-General and Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly became so strange.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki inexplicably spent so much money on how much food there was in a governor's mansion, which was not normal at all.
The Governor was even more strange. Knowing that Hosokawa Mokiyuki wanted to inquire about information, he actually asked himself to find out how much food there was in the Governor's Mansion.
What on earth is going on? Liu Dao's poor wisdom made him very at a loss now, and he didn't know what to do at all.
Jiang Wei looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Go."
"Does the Governor want me to reveal the news to him? But why doesn't the Lord send someone to tell him the news directly?" Liu Dao is not hopelessly stupid. In the state of rapid secretion of adrenaline, he still wants to understand. A little bit.
Jiang Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "That is a smart man. A smart man will only believe in himself when doing things, and will never believe in me. No matter how much food I told him in the Governor's Mansion, he None of them will believe it. But if you tell him, he will definitely believe it. After all, he spent a hundred taels of gold to buy your news. There is no reason for him to not believe it, right? "
When Liu Dao heard this, he was surprised that there were so many twists and turns in it. Forget it, Liu Dao didn't bother to think about it anymore. He thought, it was the Governor who asked me to do it, so let's do it.
With the permission of the Governor, he was not afraid of being discovered by inquiring about information in the Governor's Mansion, and could even be profitable. Why not?
Liu Dao said goodbye and went out, weighing the box in his hand. One hundred taels of gold, he got it just by asking for some information, and there was no trouble at all. He really woke up laughing in his dreams.
After receiving the signal from the Governor, Liu Dao's process of asking for information went very smoothly. In just two days, he found out exactly how much food was stored in the Governor's Mansion. During this period, he just bought some good wine and food, and took a few captains who were guarding the grain store to have a drink. After a few glasses of wine, several captains began to brag, and soon they had a rough idea of the amount of grain in Liu Daoliang's inventory.
Two days later in the morning, Liu Dao took advantage of Xiu Mu to go out and wandered around the street. When no one was paying attention, he ducked and walked into a warehouse.
Turning around a small alleyway, I saw Noriyuki Hosokawa sitting in front of a table, and as expected, there was a table full of wine and food on the table.
Liu Dao said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Why did you make it so mysterious? It was fine at first, but when you did it, it made me feel like I had done something sorry for the Governor's Mansion."
"It's okay, it's okay, what can happen?" Noriyuki Hosokawa quickly smiled to ease the tension, and enthusiastically helped Liu Dao sit down.
Liu Dao was not polite and Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the chair.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki glanced at Yanagida, with a smile on his face, and said: "Looking at Mr. Yanagi's radiant demeanor, the things I asked you to do have been completed, right?"
Although Liu Dao easily found out the information, he could not act too relaxed in front of Hosokawa Mokiyuki. Otherwise, Hosokawa Noriyuki might think that he had no effort at all, and the subsequent reward might be gone? Noriyuki Hosokawa said personally that as long as he gets things done, he will be rewarded generously.
