"How dare you recruit such a large number of people? With so many people, they form two thousand-man teams. You are too audacious."
Lu Xun felt that his hands were shaking a little. This happened under their noses. This Wu Cong was really audacious, covering the sky with one hand and doing all kinds of things.
Did he really think that the brand of Prince Daxi's Palace was so useful, that just a prince could continue to be arrogant forever?
The conflict between the civil servant group and the emperor will break out sooner or later. Everyone must be careful of the thunder in him. If the conflict between the two parties intensifies, and the thunder in his body is detonated first, he will inevitably be shattered to pieces, and no scum will be left!
In particular, the case of maternal and child abduction also involves issues of morality and public sentiment. If the incident really comes to light, even the civil service group may not necessarily protect them to the death.
Wu Cong obviously didn't have enough understanding of the seriousness of this matter. Seeing Lu Xun so angry, he couldn't help but said impatiently: "Master Lu, I think you are still too careful. There are only two thousand people here. What kind of."
"There is no shortage of such people in our capital. There are plenty of people. If you catch a lot of them, even if you arrest two thousand people, it will still not affect the prosperity of the capital."
Lu Xun said angrily: "Are these two thousand people arrested from the capital? You are too bold. Does Jing Zhaoyin know about this?"
Lu Xun felt as if there was an invisible net that was constantly being tied around his head, making him breathless. He wanted to struggle, but everything seemed to be destined.
He suddenly shuddered and realized that he could never sit still and wait for death.
Now Li Baiyi probably hasn't found King Daxi's head yet, and there is still hope. As long as these people are dealt with, everything will be fine.
No matter how powerful Li Baiyi was, how could he still frame the King of the West out of thin air without his stolen goods?
Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn't help but relax a little.
Wu Cong glanced at Li Haonan, who quickly explained to Lu Xun: "Mr. Lu, several hundred of these people were arrested from the county town of Zianzi, and the rest were arrested from the counties and countryside surrounding the county town. No. When it comes to the high-ranking officials in the capital, we can still figure this out."
Lu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't involve too much with those dignitaries, there was still room for maneuver.
"That's good. Although there are a lot of dignitaries in the capital, compared with the common people, their number is still pitifully small."
"Catching a high-ranking official may involve a large group of people. We have to guard against this."
"Even if these people are ordinary people, we can't just forget about it. There are more than 2,000 people. Things will come to light one day. You must deal with these people quickly and don't leave any traces. Otherwise, It is very likely that it will be burned on King Daxi’s head.”
Hearing this, Li Haonan couldn't help but look at Wu Cong with wide eyes: "Little prince, are we really going to give away all these people? That would be such a waste. These are more than two thousand people. How many people are they worth at least?" It’s ten thousand taels of silver.”
Wu Cong looked at Li Haonan and snorted: "What tens of thousands of taels of silver? This is a full two million taels!"
Upon hearing this, Li Haonan and Lu Xun couldn't help being surprised: "Two million taels, young prince, are you right? Our cost here is only tens of thousands of taels of silver. These two thousand or so people are enough." .”
Wu Cong looked at the two of them and said with a mocking look on his face: "You know the cost price, but have you ever thought about how important the population is to Beiyuan."
"They often go south to thresh the grass and valleys. What is it for? Isn't it just for money, women, and children?"
"In order to expand the population, the tribal leaders in Beiyuan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy women and children. Women and children are not valuable here, but in Beiyuan, they are luxury goods."
"What's more, if we have to send these people out, it will cost a lot of money."
"Two hundred taels is less than that. If the market improves, we might be able to sell it for four hundred taels or even five million taels."
When Li Haonan heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed and he said: "Is it true, young prince, then we can't deal with this person. It would be a pity to lose such a large sum of money like this."
Wu Cong nodded, looked at Lu Xun beside him, and said: "Master Lu, I know you are cautious, but with such a huge benefit, do you think Xiao Wang will let it go? Wealth can be gained through danger, at worst we can finish it. Just give up on this vote."
Lu Xun saw it clearly: "Young prince, I know this is indeed a large amount of money, but we must not ignore long-term considerations for the sake of immediate interests."
"If this matter really comes to light, even 20 million taels of silver can't buy it back. We will lose our lives."
"So, we don't want the money anymore, how about we send the person back."
Wu Cong waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Impossible, Mr. Lu, don't talk about this matter again."
"With such a huge amount of income, unless you can make up for it, why should I give up?"
Lu Xun immediately stamped his feet. He didn't expect that Wu Cong could be so petty, and that a young prince would risk the future of the palace for five million taels.
"My young prince, why are you so stubborn? What's the point of getting this kind of money? If you want money, you can go to the prince and ask for it. How much money do you want, and the prince won't give it to you?"
"At a time like this, if you ask the prince for money, you are saving the prince trouble. At this time of trouble, if you don't cause trouble, you will burn more money. You still want to make this kind of money."
Lu Xun said earnestly: "Now the emperor and the government want to find the civil servant group and cause trouble for us. Don't you think we should think about the overall situation?"
Wu Cong softened slightly after hearing this: "Then what do you think I should do? I'm not willing to give up these five million taels. You have to give me an explanation."
Lu Xun looked at Wu Cong who seemed to be in great pain, but he understood Wu Cong's thoughts very well. He was reluctant to part with the money and the opportunity to show off in front of the prince.
"Little prince, let's do this. I will go to the prince now to ask for instructions on what to do next. I will discuss a countermeasure with the prince."
"But before I come back, you must do what I said, destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces, and don't let your opponent get any clues."
"When I come back, if the prince doesn't allow these people to be eliminated, it won't be too late for you to stop."
