Chapter 221: Deals and Threats
The once prosperous Fengxian County is now deserted. Almost all shops on the street are closed. Occasionally, a few pedestrians walk by, and they are also in a hurry with a look of horror. Walking on the street, you can clearly hear your footsteps. Such a desolate scene made Liu Bao sigh secretly.
I'm afraid that few people in the city will escape now. Standing in front of the county government office and looking back at the cold street, Liu Bao thought to himself.
At this time, Liu Bao no longer felt humble in front of Old Master Liu, but was arrogant. He stood at the county government office with a very imposing momentum. In addition, the few followers following him could tell at a glance that they were very different from ordinary people. Even the arrogant Qi Bing in Feng County stood in front of Liu Bao, he was cautious.
Take out a famous note from your arms and hand it to the guards at the door, "Go to report to your General Liang, and say that the butler of Mr. Liu from Shayang County is visiting."
The guards didn't know who Mr. Liu was, but they didn't dare to neglect the situation when they saw this man's lofty posture. "Please wait, the villain will repay you."
After a while, Liu Bao had already sat in front of Liang Da. The soldiers didn't know who Mr. Liu was, so Liang Da naturally knew.
"Old Master Liu asked the butler to come. I wonder what to discuss with Liang?" Liang Da sat in the main seat and his expression was arrogant. Old Master Zhao was indeed very famous, but as a general of the victorious country, Liang Da naturally had his reasons. He felt that he had given the other party a lot of face to see this butler.
Liu Bao didn't care, and slowly drank tea on his own, looked at Liang Da, and said slowly: "The old man asked him to come down because he wanted to calm the incident as soon as possible, and everyone was not worried about the harmony."
"As long as General Liu of your country can eliminate all the bandits in Yanshan, I will naturally retreat." Liang Da snorted, "Of course, I will also take away the murderer who killed my general."
Liu Bao smiled, "If this is the case, then I can tell General Liang now that the Yanshan bandits no longer exist. They have been wiped out by General Liu Xing."
"Is that right?" Liang Da laughed, "But where is the person I want?"
"General Liang is very clear that the person who killed General Kou is a level nine master. I believe General Liang should also be clear about the cause. General Liang believes that a level nine master may be captured alive?" Liu Bao said lightly. "Or General Liang had never thought about evacuating Fengxian?"
Liang Da laughed, "Whatever you think, if you don't bring the murderer to justice, our army of Great Qi will never withdraw from Fengxian. If you can't do it, we will do it ourselves."
Liu Bao nodded, stood up, took out a small box from his arms and placed it in front of Liang Da.
"What does Butler Liu mean?" Liang Da put down the teacup and gently tapped the box with his hands.
"The old man gave General Liang a little bit of meaning, just 100,000 taels of silver." Liu Bao said lightly: "General Liang thought it was clear that Fengxian County is Fengxian in Shayang, while Shayang is our old man's Shayang. The old man doesn't want anything to happen in Shayang."
"What if I don't agree?" Liang Da said with a grim smile.
"Then General Liang is too ignorant of human nature." Liu Bao laughed: "General Liang is a county soldier and stationed in Deng County. The main task is not to fight, but to raise food and military expenses for the Qi team. In the past few months, our Shayang County has always met all requests. He would rather go hungry and guarantee your request. This is also the kindness of our old master. But if General Liang cannot even agree to this small request, I can guarantee that you will not raise a grain from next month."
"Are you threatening me?" Liang Da sneered.
"It's not a threat, but just a fact. Now we, Dayue and Daqi are allies, and supporting allies' food is friendship rather than obligation. Even the court cannot force me to Shayang County. I think there is nothing to blame for the Emperor of Daqi. We don't care, but General Yu Liang's future is very related, and I'm afraid that an assessment that is not good at doing things is indispensable. I heard that General Guo Yunji of your side has always been famous for his hot temper. I don't know what he would have to say about General Liang when he learned that General Liang could not raise enough food on time?"
"If you don't give it to me, can't I do it myself?" Liang Da sneered and looked at Liu Bao disdainfully.
Liu Bao smiled slightly, "General Liang, don't forget, now we have five thousand troops in Fengxian. General Liang wants to rob, so he has to think about it first."
"Just because of your wine bags, you want to stop my army?" Liang Da smiled to the sky.
Liu Bao snorted, "Our Dayue County soldiers are indeed a little worse than the Gui army, but General Liang is not the elite of Daqi. What's more, what if there are two more ninth-level masters among our Shayang County soldiers? So what?"
"You!" Liang Da was furious, stood up suddenly, stared at Liu Bao, his face turned red, but he didn't say anything for a while.
"It's great for General Liang to learn that there are indeed two level nine masters among the bandits in Yanshan, but now they have reached an agreement with our old master and will become our old master's helper. If General Liang wants to be tough, then we can only have a tough fight. Not to mention the winner or loser, the two of us will fight, and the bad ones are the alliance between the two countries. If the superiors chase poverty, we may not have something to do, but I'm sure, General Liang, you must have something to do." Liu Bao picked up the teacup and looked at Liang Da with a smile.
After a while, Liang Da finally sat down slowly, "What are you going to do?"
Liu Bao smiled and pushed the little box to Liang Da: "General Liang, being an official for thousands of miles is just a fortune. He is a beauty of becoming a human being, but he can handle state affairs well. Why ruin the harmony between us for a moment? General Liang wanted to expand the territory for the Great Qi, but it was incompatible with reality. What did Da Qi want to do now? General Liang knew that if he ruined the great affairs of His Majesty of your country because of such a small matter, General Liang might not be able to afford to be guilty. Why not stop here? Hello, I, Hello, everyone, and we will cooperate happily in the future. Wouldn't it be better to make a fortune together?"
"Kou Qun died in vain?"
"It's just a small tooth general, and he'll die if he dies. What's the point? It's just something that can be settled with a little silver." Liu Bao said lightly.
Liang Da's breathing heavily and his face changed. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and grabbed the small box on the table, "Okay, go back and tell Mr. Liu that I will withdraw from Fengxian and no longer bother with Kou Qun's death. But the grain I need to raise every year, the old man cannot lose a trace of me."
"Of course." Liu Bao agreed, "This is a small matter. General Liang, we will be friends in the future. The country's war, the loss, the loss, the winning and winning are common. For us, making money and making money are serious. To put it bluntly, even if Shayang County is occupied by your Qi State, Old Master Liu can still call the wind and rain. But if you lose in the Great Qi State, General Liang is afraid that the fate will be in danger. Why? It is because our old master is rich and rooted in the people. No matter who is in power, we need people like our old master, but if there are General Liang, you are not more than you, and you are not less than you. General Liang, if you want to be a person like our old master, you still have a long way to go. Work together and make money together, this is serious."
Liang Da was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick when he was angry by Liu Bao's words, but he had to admit that what the arrogant butler said was the truth. He seemed to be arrogant here, but in Qi State, that's a big deal!
With a blue face, Liang Da slammed the tea bowl cover and said angrily: "Come here, see the guests!"
Liu Bao stood up with a smile and bowed slightly, "General Liang, there will be a date in the future. If you arrive in Deng County in the future, you will definitely come back to visit me again."
Walking out of the Fengxian County Government, Liu Bao sighed softly. He didn't have much worry about dealing with Liang Da. He was just a greedy general, who wanted to make money and promoted. Such a person was naturally easy to deal with. What made him worried was the mysterious bandit team deep in the mountains.
They must not be regarded as a simple bandit team. They will definitely become an important force in Shayang County in the future. This must be made clear. When the old man is unable to eliminate them, it will become a necessary thing to establish a good relationship with them.
For the Zhao family, who is in power is not the most important thing. As long as the Liu family can still have the right to speak in Shayang County, it is enough. However, this bandit team is probably not so easy to deal with. In the future, Zhao's authority in Shayang County may be seriously challenged by them.
When they entered Yanshan again, the first group of released people had been sent to Yanshan. A general and 500 soldiers. According to the previous agreement, only half of them had weapons and armor. After leaving Yanshan, the Liu family had to re-arm these people before they could re-assemble. The play naturally had to do a full set. Fengxian gave Qin Feng, and they would transform into Fengxian County soldiers in the future, and thousands of county soldiers would naturally return to the county city with a majestic spirit, not giving the left prime minister who was eyeing Shayang County in the capital.
Speaking of which, this time, Liu family suffered a huge loss! Liu Bao sighed, hoping that this was the first and last time. Liu Xing will be the last person to be released, and this is also the constraints of the Yanshan bandits on Liu family.
"Mr. Liu, what should I do?" The former county magistrate of Feng County, Ge Qingsheng, stood in front of Liu Bao in a shrunk. The county magistrate was undoubtedly the most unlucky guy. The county town was occupied by Liang Da before, so he was unable to taste the taste of the prison. He was still suffering from wind and snow outside during this period. Now he finally left, but Feng County is not his own.
Liu Bao glanced at Ge Qingsheng, "Mr. Ge, this time, your performance is still very good. The old man appreciates you very much. He will not make any arrangements for you. Please wait patiently."
"Thank you, old man." Ge Qingsheng was overjoyed. (To be continued.)
