Guo Zhiping was not stupid. When he heard what Ye Mingsheng said, he suddenly realized and said directly:
"Your Majesty, do you mean to submit a petition?"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded: "Since Guo Zhuangshi's brothers are willing to follow me, Mr. Ye, then I should naturally take care of everyone's family affairs. I am willing to pay 1,500 taels as a home for the brothers." fee!"
"In addition, I am willing to take out another five hundred taels of silver and give it to Guo Zhuangshi and your father, as a reward for the two of you..."
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's overweight, even though he didn't take money very seriously in his life, his eyes couldn't help but shine with surprise.
Although the settlement fee required was one thousand taels of silver, Guo Zhiping actually did not really think that Ye Mingsheng would give him one thousand taels of silver.
Therefore, at this price, he actually left Ye Mingsheng room for bargaining. In fact, the price in his mind was only five hundred taels of silver.
Guo Zhiping never expected that Ye Mingsheng would be so wealthy. Not only did he not bargain with him on the price of one thousand taels, but he actually doubled it.
However, Ye Mingsheng offered such a high price, and what they had to do must not be a simple matter. Thinking of this, Guo Zhiping couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then asked Ye Mingsheng very seriously:
"I don't know what kind of certificate of nomination Mr. Ye wants from our brothers?"
"It's not a big deal. I heard that Guo Zhuangshi had some grudges with Wang Laogangzi from Erlang Mountain in Guangning Prefecture?" Ye Mingsheng said lightly:
"Sir, his brother died in my hands..."
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but Guo Zhiping still said calmly:
"I want to kill him, and I need Zhuangzi Guo to give me a little help..." Now that he has spoken out, Ye Mingsheng no longer hides it, and directly tells Guo Zhi about his plan. Ping told the whole story.
After drinking half a cup of tea and considering the possibility of Ye Mingsheng's plan, Guo Zhiping's eyes flashed, he stood up and clasped his fists towards Ye Mingsheng and said:
"In this humble position, I am willing to do my best for you!"
"Very good!" Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng took out a stack of banknotes from the desk drawer and handed it to Guo Zhiping.
"This is one thousand taels of silver! You take it back to do some work first. I'll wait for your good news!"
Seeing the banknote close at hand, Guo Zhiping had a strange look in his eyes. He first bowed and took the banknote, then hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Ye Mingsheng:
"My lord has such trust in me, so I am not afraid of any eventuality..."
Under Guo Zhiping's gaze, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said lightly:
"It's nothing. Ye Mou understands the principle of trusting people when you employ them and distrusting people when you are suspicious. Moreover, Ye Mou's money is not so easy to deceive!"
Feeling the strong confidence emerging from Ye Mingsheng's words, Guo Zhiping looked serious, bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng again, and said in a very firm voice:
"Don't worry, sir, Guo Zhiping will definitely live up to your expectations!"
After discussing the main things, Ye Mingsheng and Guo Zhiping discussed the specific details before letting the confident Guo Zhiping go down to work.
"Master, what method did you use to surrender Guo Zhiping?"
Not long after Guo Zhiping left, Ye Tie walked into the study and said to Ye Mingsheng with admiration:
Ye Tie, who was appointed by Ye Mingsheng to negotiate with Guo Zhiping, could be said to have been played around by Guo Zhiping during this period and suffered a lot...
Ye Tie, who felt his IQ being rubbed on the ground by Guo Zhiping, was really curious as to how Ye Mingsheng could defeat Guo Zhiping so lightly.
Facing Ye Tie's inquiry, Ye Mingsheng had a mysterious smile on his face, but he smiled without saying a word.
He would not tell Ye Tie that he had leaked the news of Guo Zhiping's recruitment to Xing Dalin's details in Fengshan County, thus inducing Xing Dalin, who hated him deeply, to prepare to attack Jiukongya Village.
Xing Dalin has nothing to do with himself now, so he can only pick the weaklings...
Guo Zhiping was also well-informed. After hearing the news that Xing Dalin was going to harm him, he had no choice but to lower his demands to reach an agreement with Ye Mingsheng and obtain the status of Zhenwu Army.
This is why, when answering Guo Zhiping's first condition, Ye Mingsheng deliberately emphasized that after accepting the recruitment, if there are still people who want to harm Jiukongya Village, he and even Chen Dechang will come forward to solve it!
"Have you found out why Guo Zhiping wants to accept the recruitment?" Ye Mingsheng asked calmly:
Ye Tie nodded and explained:
"The young master has found out clearly that five years ago, the Shiwei tribe rioted and attacked Liuhe County. Guo Zhiping happened to save a legitimate daughter of the Gongsun family there. The two fell in love at first sight and wanted to have a private life."
"However, the Gongsun family is a wealthy family. They disliked Guo Zhiping as a bandit and came from a lowly background, so he wanted to beat the mandarin ducks. He casually threw some money to Guo Zhiping and prepared to find out about it."
"Then I planned to take that little lady back to marry someone else, but I never thought that the girl from the Gongsun family was also a strong-tempered person, so she committed suicide with three feet of white silk."
"It is said that Guo Zhiping was deeply affected by this incident. From then on, he made a vow to change his background and prevent what happened to him from happening again to his descendants..."
Ye Mingsheng looked a little surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Guo Zhiping still had such a past, but this could be regarded as a reasonable explanation and could explain why Guo Zhiping wanted to be recruited.
But since it happened five years ago, if Guo Zhiping wanted to be recruited, why wait until now to be recruited by himself?
Seemingly seeing the confusion in Ye Mingsheng's expression, Ye Tie said proudly:
"Guo Zhiping has a very strict tone, and I couldn't get anything out of him. But I went to Jiukongya some time ago and had a drink with his father Guo Zhanshan. During the banquet, I learned something from Brother Guo. , got some news."
"When the incident first happened five years ago, Guo Zhiping wanted to be recruited, but at that time Brother Guo had just gradually transferred power to him, and Guo Zhiping had too little say in the cottage."
"And the most important thing is that the brothers in Jiukongya Mountain Stronghold have been fighting with the Liaoyang army for decades. I don't know how many brothers died at the hands of the army. In addition, Brother Guo was ostracized after he accepted the recruitment. Therefore, Guo Zhiping’s suggestion was unanimously rejected by the brothers on the mountain as soon as it was proposed.”
