"Let me tell you?"
Zhao Ping felt a little embarrassed, "Mr. Liu, you are an upright official, and your family is not very wealthy."
"If a subordinate is taking advantage of others, are they still human?"
move!
Hearing this, Liu Lai was so moved that he was confused.
I even regretted why I targeted Zhao Ping in the first place?
What a simple common man.
If you take the initiative to show your kindness to him, you might be able to win him over to your side.
Acacia wine, soap, frosting sugar, the Liu family will take them all.
Regret!
Liu Lai felt deeply regretful.
However, Zhao Ping followed up and said: "How about this? Just now you mentioned the number five, and I took it as five hundred thousand taels. Let's make a compromise, and two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver will be enough."
"puff!"
Liu Lai was so angry that he vomited blood.
Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, this is going to wipe out the Liu family's fortune.
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
Liu Lai said angrily.
"Rob?"
Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "With the current situation of the Dawei Dynasty, is it possible to get so much money?"
"I……"
Liu Lai was choked again.
It's really impossible to grab it.
Unless he robbed the Qian family's Tianxia Bank, it was still the Tianxia Bank in the particularly rich Jiangnan area.
A bank like the one in Donghai County wouldn't be able to collect that much money even if it was emptied.
"Zhao Ping, what do you want?"
Liu Lai asked with a dark face, "If you want money, just say so. Why bother entertaining me?"
"I have no entertainment for you."
Zhao Ping said innocently: "Didn't you ask me to tell you the number? I just said it."
"I'm just a villager in the mountains, and I can afford hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Isn't 250,000 taels of silver just like a drop of rain to you, your dignified Minister of Household Affairs?"
"Why do you still look so reluctant?"
"I……"
Liu Lai was dumbfounded.
At first listen, it does make some sense.
But when you taste it carefully, you feel that everything is full of loopholes.
You have acacia wine, soap, and frosting sugar in your hands. Each of them is priceless. If you sell some casually, you can keep up with my busy year.
What's more, our Liu family doesn't just support our children.
There are also various relationships to manage, guards to train, and secret halls to cultivate.
These all cost money.
Before he could speak, Zhao Ping continued: "For the sake of your majesty, I will give you some more discounts."
"Give me two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"can not be lower."
"After all, I plan to give each of those who search your house a jar of acacia wine."
"The money you gave me for the drinks was too little. Wouldn't I lose everything?"
"Forehead!"
Liu Lai was speechless again.
Just take a walk around your house and you will get a jar of acacia wine.
Worth twenty-five thousand taels.
If he hadn't been tied up by Five Flowers at this time, he might have gone there for a walk.
It's like picking up silver.
If it's just one or two pieces of broken silver, you can't pick it up so quickly.
But considering his wealth and life, as well as the secrets hidden in Liu's house, Liu Lai could only bite the bullet and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it."
"Master Liu is indeed a loyal minister of the Dawei Dynasty."
Zhao Ping praised: "In order to prevent the people of the Dawei Dynasty from suffering losses, he actually spent his own money to appease the people. He is really a role model for our generation."
Liu Lai said nothing.
He can no longer tell which of Zhao Ping's sentences is true and which is false?
In other words, he didn't make the distinction clearly from the beginning.
He was tricked by Zhao Ping in such a confused manner and got so much money for nothing.
"You should give it."
Zhao Ping waited for a while and found that Liu Lai was still indifferent. He couldn't help but urge: "You are the Minister of Household Affairs of the Dawei Dynasty. You can't break your promise, right?"
"My hands and feet are tied, how can I give you money?"
Liu Lai's face turned even darker.
"Oh, let me untie you first."
Zhao Ping smiled apologetically.
Start to untie Liu Lai.
People around them only saw the two of them talking there, but they couldn't hear what they said specifically.
See Zhao Ping personally untying Liu Lai.
I thought that the truth had been found out, that Liu Lai was not guilty, and that he was going to be released on the spot.
Even His Majesty Chen Xuan frowned, wondering what Zhao Ping wanted to do.
But he didn't stop it.
Since you have decided to let Zhao Ping disrupt the situation, then follow his wishes.
And Zhao Ping did a very good job.
First he wanted to kill Queen Hao Runxiang, then sent people to capture Qian Shi, and now he tied up all the six ministers.
Chen Xuan couldn't find anything wrong with him.
It was even more perfect than what he did in person.
Did you really let yourself go?
Liu Lai was a little shocked.
But I didn’t think about it deeply. Even if I thought about it deeply, I still couldn’t guess Zhao Ping’s true intention.
We can only take one step at a time.
Take advantage of this moment to relax your muscles and stretch your muscles.
"Master Liu, please stop shaking."
Zhao Ping reminded: "Give me the money quickly."
"After I get the money, I'm going to appease the soldiers, and then go to your house to go through the motions."
"Mr. Zhao, do you think I will carry so much money with me?"
Liu Lai smiled bitterly.
"Then how much did you bring?"
Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
"Six thousand taels."
Liu said.
"Give me the six thousand taels first."
Zhao Ping said: "The rest are written in IOUs and then signed and pledged."
puff!
Liu Lai was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
I just said that I would not break my word, and then I was asked to issue an IOU and sign it.
What about integrity between people?
Have you eaten them all?
"hurry up."
Zhao Ping didn't care about that and continued to urge, "If you delay any longer, General Liu and the others won't be able to wait. They will go to your house to search now, and I won't have time to make arrangements."
"If anything is found out, I won't be very friendly to you or me."
threaten!
A naked threat.
But Liu Lai didn't dare to refute.
Who allowed him to hide the ulterior secrets in his home?
This incident also reminded Liu Lai.
Whatever you do in the future, don’t leave the evidence at home.
The cunning rabbit has three caves.
Instead, leave it somewhere else to avoid being searched out by someone with a heart.
But the situation at hand still needs to be dealt with properly.
Liu Lai did not resist anymore and took out three silver notes worth two thousand taels from his arms and handed them to Zhao Ping.
this……
The people around me saw it clearly.
Everyone was talking about it.
"what's up?"
"Master Liu actually gave money to Zhao Ping in front of so many people? Did he want to bribe Zhao Ping? The key is that Zhao Ping accepted it."
"That's not bad. If we are also caught, we can give him money."
"What are you thinking about? We are all loyal ministers and have not offended the queen. Why did Zhao Ping arrest us?"
"Yes, yes, bah, bah, bah, I said the wrong thing."
"..."
There are mixed opinions.
Some people scolded Zhao Ping for being shameless and accepting money from others in person.
Some people think that Zhao Ping is a good person. As long as he dares to collect money, it will be easier to do things. It is better than not having enough money.
Some people are also worried about Zhao Ping.
Doesn't such a blatant cashier leave a clue for others to refer to him in front of His Majesty?
Only Chen Xuan had a smile on his face.
He nodded secretly, "Yes, this boy really likes me, and he actually knows how to make money at this time."
"But these are all my money. I'll wait and see what you do next."
Zhao Ping put the banknote in his arms, then found paper, pen and Indonesian money, and asked Liu Lai to write down the IOU on the spot and sign it.
After all the procedures were completed, he ordered people to tie Liu Lai up.
"Why did you tie me up again?"
After giving the money, Liu Lai felt more confident and showed off his authority, "Isn't this official an upright official?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Liu is an honest official."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "But with so many pairs of eyes around, I can't do too much, right?"
"You will feel aggrieved for a while longer. When the subordinate's men come back from the Liu Mansion and prove your innocence, I will untie you and apologize to you personally in the court after His Majesty returns to the palace."
"snort!"
Liu Lai snorted coldly and could only accept this fact.
Anyway, the money has been given and the IOU has been issued. He believes that Zhao Ping will not embarrass him.
At least the current hurdle passed smoothly.
Once you have your hands free, you must take care of this bastard.
How dare you swallow my money.
I can't choke you to death.
No matter how you collect it now, I will let you spit it out twice as much when the time comes.
"I'm going to give Old General Liu some advice."
Zhao Ping left these words and ran to Liu Dingbei.
