The old man pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand and made a "9" sign.
"I want this number. As long as you bring the money, I can forget about the past."
After hearing this, both Lin Luo and the cavalry leader could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it requires silver and not some other rare item.
Otherwise, even if the Lin Mansion has thousands of treasures and is as rich as a country, it may not be able to meet the other party's conditions.
As for the monetary compensation proposed by the other party...
A mere ninety thousand taels of silver, although it hurts a bit, to the entire Lin family, it is nothing.
So Lin Luo winked at the cavalry leader beside him. When the cavalry leader saw this, he immediately understood.
He cupped his hands towards the old man and said:
"Old senior, ninety thousand taels of silver, that's not a small sum!"
However, on the other side, when the old man heard the offer, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Wait, when did I ask for ninety thousand taels of silver from the Lin family? Isn't it nine hundred taels...
Could it be that they misunderstood his gesture?
The more the old man thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was reasonable, so he quickly stood up and planned to explain it clearly to the other party.
After all, it's not easy to find someone who has been taken advantage of, but you can't make them bald all at once.
However, when Lin Luo and Lin Luo saw the old man getting up, their scalps felt numb.
"No, old man, we have something to talk about! Isn't it just 90,000 taels of silver? Please wait a moment, I will go back to the mansion to get it now."
"Our young master, he can be your hostage."
Hearing the words of the cavalry leader, Lin Luo Dao Ren was heartbroken.
Damn it, who invited this cavalry leader?
When he said this, he was clearly trying to trick me!
But...if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the most appropriate solution.
Although he was still dissatisfied, Lin Luo still stood there obediently. After all, he didn't want the other party to get angry and kill him directly.
Seeing him being so cooperative, the old man felt happy. But on the surface, he still acted like a master.
"I'll give you half an hour. If you can't get the money, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Luo's expression immediately changed.
He immediately urged his cavalry:
"What are you doing in a daze? Go to the house quickly and get the silver. Senior, just wait a moment, just a moment!"
At this moment, in a private box on the third floor of Qunfang Building.
While Yang Dong was enjoying the tea served by Doulu Jing, he stared at the situation below and said casually:
"The so-called young master of the Lin family, I didn't expect him to be a master of the situation. But he still has a good brain and can clearly see the form."
Hearing this, Doulu Jing's eyes flashed with doubt. She opened her red lips, hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"Young Master Yang, there is something unclear about the little girl. Please give me some advice."
"Huh? If Miss Doulu has any questions, just ask her directly. By the way, are you used to staying here these days?"
"Well... Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Yang for taking me in. The young master can arrange a separate courtyard for the little girl, and the little girl is naturally extremely grateful. That's it, that's it..."
At this point, Doulu Jing's delicate words suddenly stopped, and a light pink blush appeared on her handsome cheeks. At this moment, her cheeks were like ripe peaches, making people want to take a bite just by looking at them.
Seeing her reaction, Yang Dong was filled with confusion.
What the hell is Lu Jing doing? Why are you blushing when you are so good? And can you stop being so seductive? My waist is not made of iron!
"Ahem, Miss Doulu, what's wrong with my arrangement? We're all our own people. If anything happens, just tell us."
"Well, one of our own!"
An inexplicable look flashed across Doulu Jing's eyes. Then a pair of moist eyes looked at Yang Dong, his eyes flickering, seeming to hide some inexplicable emotion.
Such touching eyes almost made Yang Dong unable to control himself. He coughed lightly to hide the impulse in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Doulu Jing's timid voice came to his ears.
"Actually... it's not a big deal. It's just that this courtyard is a little closer to Qunfang Tower. At night, the maids always make noise and can't sleep well."
"It's just a trivial matter, Mr. Yang, don't worry about it."
Because it's too close to Qunfang Tower, the maid is always noisy and can't sleep well?
Wait, isn't Doulujing's maid already left in the Doulu clan by her? Is it possible...
Yang Dong thought of some possibility, and his expression gradually became playful.
At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a house not far away. There seemed to be a suit of apricot-yellow silk clothes hanging on the clothes drying pole.
Now his eyesight is so good that he can even see the unwashed water stains on it.
Looking at the courtyard again, isn't that the same courtyard where I arranged for Dou Lujing to live?
The corner of Yang Dong's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt so embarrassed. It seemed that he had discovered something extraordinary unintentionally.
However... now the capital has been occupied by Lin Chunqiu's forces. If he were far away from Qunfang Tower, it would be difficult for him to protect him.
Unless...she is brought into the palace!
Wait, why do I have such desperate thoughts? Yourong has already overturned his jealousy, and if he brings a little beauty back with him, will I still be able to survive?
Thinking of this, Yang Dong coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, I didn't think about this well enough. It's just that Lin Laogou's spies are everywhere in the capital now. If you leave the vicinity of Qunfang Tower, it will be difficult for me to protect you."
"Master Yang, you don't need to be so concerned. It's just that the maid is a bit spoiled. In this case, when I go back, I will definitely talk about her."
Yang Dong nodded slightly, not intending to continue this embarrassing topic. He continued to cast his gaze downstairs at Qunfang.
At this moment, the guards of the Lin Mansion were seen driving a carriage and reappeared outside the gate of Qunfang Tower.
There is no doubt that the goods contained in this carriage are none other than the money extorted by Hong Laoliu.
Yang Dong looked at the silver in the carriage, but his brows furrowed slightly. Logically speaking, the Lin Mansion does not need to be so troublesome at all. With the Lin family's wealth, it is not difficult to come up with 90,000 taels of silver notes at once.
But at this moment, they didn't take any silver notes, but instead brought a carriage full of silver.
Sure enough, Lin Chunqiu, an old dog, was unwilling to give away his money to others, even if the other party was a master.
Only this time, the old guy miscalculated after all.
He thought Hong Laoliu was just an ordinary expert, but little did he know... that he was actually a bug.
