In the study, Liu Mingzhi sat on a chair with a gloomy face, waiting for Suzaku's arrival.
After about a while of tea, the fragrant wind came and lingered in the study. The red bird floated down into the study softly and enchantingly. When he saw Young Master Liu squatting on the chair, he immediately showed a charming smile and greeted Young Master Liu.
"Master, are you missing Que'er in such a hurry for Que'er to come?"
Before Suzaku got close to the table, Liu Mingzhi's somewhat cold voice came.
"Suzaku, do you know your guilt?"
The smiling Suzaku suddenly froze up and stopped in his steps. He stared blankly at the young master who looked at him with eyes full of displeasure, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Suzaku...Suzaku...Master Dare, what mistake did Suzaku make?"
"Do you know about the rumors about the Second Emperor in the capital?"
Suzaku looked at Young Master Liu blankly, with deep doubts in his eyes: "Second Emperor? What are you talking about, Master? Suzaku really doesn't understand."
"snort!"
Liu Mingzhi snorted coldly, stretched out his palm and slapped the table hard. Suzaku's delicate body kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled. His thoughts of teasing the young master disappeared in an instant, and he began to think rapidly about the information about the second emperor. .
However, Zhuque racked his brains and couldn't think of any information about the second emperor.
This was the first time that Suzaku saw Young Master Liu being so furious with him, and he knew in his heart that the words "Second Emperor" must be the cause.
Sure enough, as soon as the thought flashed through Suzaku's mind, the young master stood up and walked slowly around him.
"My young master spends a lot of money every year to support your relevant departments, especially the Suzaku Division, one of your four departments in charge of intelligence. I am never stingy. Whenever I use money, I will not hesitate to do so. This is how you will repay me." My young master’s?
There are rumors in the capital that this young master is the second emperor. You don't even know about it. Do you, the young master, support you, Suzaku Division, for a living?
Is it possible that one day someone put a weapon to my young master's neck, and you still haven't heard anything about it? "
Hearing Young Master Liu's stern questioning, Suzaku's delicate body couldn't help but tremble. This was the first time she had seen this overwhelming aura from the young master.
In the past, the young master would never have been so powerful, but he really didn't know what happened.
"Young Master, please forgive me. Young Master, please forgive me.
The subordinates have already reported to the young master last time that 90% of the brothers in the Suzaku Division are all in Northern Xinjiang, Jin Kingdom, and Turkic Territory to collect information for the national war.
There is no time to go elsewhere to check for information.
This is your order, Master! "
Liu Mingzhi stopped, looked down at Suzaku's trembling appearance, and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Get up, I wronged you."
"I...I don't dare."
"Get up when I ask you to."
"Yes, I obey."
Liu Mingzhi sat back with a gloomy face: "Give me a squeeze on your shoulders."
"yes!"
Suzaku walked obediently behind Liu Mingzhi, and squeezed the young master's shoulders with her slender jade fingers.
Liu Mingzhi leaned on Suzaku's fragrant arms, and the fragrance was suddenly as warm as jade, which relaxed his tense nerves a lot. He raised his hand to gently knead his forehead, but still felt weak.
The intelligence capabilities of the Suzaku Division were still far from what I expected.
"Quiet, are the manpower of the Suzaku Division not enough?"
Listening to the young master's gentle voice, Suzaku nodded aggrievedly, let go of Young Master Liu's shoulders, and hugged the young master's chest tightly from behind.
Two touches of soft and firm flesh made Young Master Liu enjoy it fiercely.
"Master, you scared Que'er to death just now. It's really not that Que'er didn't try his best. The number of brothers in the Suzaku Division is limited. It is already very difficult to search for information in Dalong. They are also assigned to Turks and Jin Kingdom. A small number of manpower simply cannot handle such a large territory.
At that time, the capital city was calm, and Master, your crises were all around Northern Xinjiang. Que'er could only disperse his manpower to urgent areas first.
Que'er really didn't know that there would be such rumors in the capital, otherwise how could you dare to hide it from the young master and not report it. "
"Sigh... Master, I know I was wrong. Don't take it to heart."
"Que'er doesn't dare, and won't. Suddenly knowing that the young master of the Second Emperor's name is right, he should be furious. This reputation is indeed a bit heart-wrenching.
Que'er will try his best to save the situation when he goes back and see if the brothers can find out some clues and capture the culprit who spreads such remarks to vent his anger on the young master. Que'er will have to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives. "
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, grabbed Suzaku's wrist, pulled him into his arms and sat down.
"As long as you don't get angry, these words really made the young master and I really angry. I want to bring about the death of the young master and my whole family.
Second Emperor, what a good Second Emperor.
What a cruel person. "
As Liu Mingzhi said this, he moved a hand dishonestly over Suzaku's delicate body.
Zhuque looked at the young master with a mixture of anger and shame, but did not struggle and allowed the young master to do whatever he wanted on her.
"Quie, the Suzaku Division has to continue to recruit people. The young master now deeply feels the shortcomings of your subordinates."
"Master, Que'er has had this idea for a long time, but it's about money."
"How much more silver do you need?"
"It's still two million taels if you tell me less."
Young Master Liu's palms that were roaming on the soft skin under Zhuque's clothes suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Why are there so many?"
"Master, of course you won't need so much money just to recruit people, but the brothers' settlement expenses, the intelligence fees paid to obtain information, and the brothers' salaries all need money.
Especially the settlement fee is huge.
Our industry is always on the verge of life and death, so we don't rule out the worries of our brothers. How could they devote themselves to you?
It's said that it's settlement money, but it's actually buying their lives.
This is a conservative estimate, there may be more. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Suzaku's helpless look and sighed quietly.
"Two million taels is not a small amount."
"Qie'er knows, so Que'er has been hesitating how to mention this matter to the young master these days. Unexpectedly, the young master said it first, which saved Que'er some trouble."
"Two million taels!"
"Two million taels!"
Liu Mingzhi whispered the number softly, thinking about where he should get the two million taels of silver.
Some corrupt officials will never be able to embezzle so much money in their lifetime.
Liu Mingzhi has handled more than two million times countless times, but that situation was completely different from now.
He had spent tens of millions of taels of silver several times, but that was military supplies to support an army of hundreds of thousands, and was paid by the imperial treasury.
Now that he is a force that supports himself, he has to cash out these silver coins himself.
He has made a lot of money in the past ten years, but the investment from Donghai, the relevant departments, and the related departments is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money he earns, it cannot fill it up.
If it weren't for the old man who supported him with some money from time to time, I'm afraid he would have taken his whole family to the streets to beg for food.
Jiang He was such a bastard, but he took away his goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels to trade with Western countries. After returning to the court, the income from these goods could be multiplied several times.
But this guy hasn't come back for two years. No matter how much money he doesn't get, there is nothing he can do.
Do you have to go to the old man to dig some back?
Young Master Liu gave up this idea instantly. The Liu family not only had his own son, but also had two brothers, Mingli and Mingjie.
As the boss, I can't do this kind of statusless thing all the time.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a long time, and finally put his mind on Guannei Hou Zhu Run. It seemed that he could only borrow some from this guy first.
Back then, this guy lent him millions of taels as soon as he made a move, and now he must be even richer.
Two million taels shouldn't be a difficult task.
After making up his mind, Liu Mingzhi also relaxed.
"Quer, I'll take care of the money. Just recruit people."
"That's great. If the young master has confidence, I'll be relieved."
"Now that the matter has been decided, you should go back first. Master, I will rush to Zhutou's place while it is still early.
Now, young master, I not only feel a little powerless, but also have a feeling of danger. If I don't resolve this matter early, I always feel a little unreliable.
Although the rumors about the Second Emperor did not cause a huge storm, there was definitely an undercurrent surging.
Some of the things that the young master was suspicious of, he gradually figured out the key to it. "
Hearing that the young master let him go again, Suzaku's beautiful red eyes full of spring flashed with sadness.
"Master, can't you stay with Que'er for a while longer? Every time you let Que'er leave after talking about serious things, can't you do something unseemly? Are you a man?"
Listening to Zhuque's charming and complaining tone, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, hugged Suzaku and closed the door and window.
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the study, and charming gasps came one after another.
After two sticks of incense, Suzaku glared at Mr. Liu with an extremely resentful look and left the study with messy steps.
You are so addicted to handjobs that you make others feel uncomfortable, and your heart is as uncomfortable as a cat scratching you. You are really not a man.
I always say that I will be the one next time, and next time, and next time, which next time is this?
After Zhuque Qianying disappeared, Liu Dashao thought about how to talk to Zhutou about borrowing money.
After so many years of being together less and more separated, will the relationship between the two brothers still be the same as before?
Two million.
It's not a small amount.
