Chapter 225

The man in black looked at Qin mubai with his empty mask. He seemed very proud. He patted his clothes, sat down and said slowly, "don't worry, general Qin. Business, it's all a matter of time. We've all spent a lot of time and don't care to talk about it a little bit more. "

"What do you mean?" Qin mubai also sat down and asked.

"Ho ho!" The man in black laughed and was very proud, "today, I'll tell you the truth! Since the beginning of tax and grain payment last autumn, we have been asking Zhang Luo who will be the next governor of Xiangzhou and who will take over the military office of Xiangzhou. Later we learned that it was you and Li Ke, which really made us happy. "

"Why?" Qin mubai couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"Because only under the cover of big people like you can we live better and make more money. When we make enough money, it's time for us to quit. " The man in black chattered with a strange smile. He was very proud. "Do you feel angry, general Qin? In fact, you don't have to be angry. We don't mean to look down on you at all. In fact, we are really afraid of you, especially you, Qin mubai. You're smart and hard to deal with. As for Li Ke, there is no threat to his reputation, because he has a great mind. Xiangzhou was just a passing place. He didn't pay attention to it. So from the beginning, we made a detailed plan for how to deal with you. "

Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow: "so, since we stepped into Xiangzhou, you have been monitoring our every move?"

"Wrong." "Humanity in black" means that since you haven't left Chang'an, your every move has been under our surveillance. I even know that your father went to Lanzhou, and your wife, who has never been there, runs a restaurant in Chang'an. And I'm planning to open a shop in Xiangzhou. "

Qin mubai couldn't help getting a little angry: "if you dare to touch my family, the consequences will be very serious!"

"Don't be angry, general Qin. We just seek wealth, never hurt people innocently, and we don't want to make enemies everywhere. After a long period of hard work, is it not to make friends with general Qin and get rich together? " The man in Black said calmly, "you must know something about us. I don't have to hide it from you. Yes. We do have a large amount of grain on hand and are eager to sell it. Food, you know. The climate in Jiangnan is humid and easy to mildew. Once moldy, it's not worth the money. Last time, you pretended to be a businessman and went to Zhengchang grain company to talk business? The lion opened his mouth and asked for 500000 stone grains. Coincidentally, Zheng Anshun really came to Xiangzhou later, which was a good chance from heaven. And then there were some changes in our plans. "

"Can you tell me about your original plan?" Qin mubai said coldly.

"Ho Ho, it's OK to tell you!" The man in Black said with a smile, "originally, we planned to wait until your wife, Wu Meiniang, a businessman who has become famous in recent years, arrived in Xiangzhou, and then try to get her to make a fortune together, and then through her, we can get through your door and make it convenient for us. Unexpectedly, we played a play in baguidu to test your attitude, but you came to me on your own initiative. Unfortunately, you also moved out of Zheng Anshun. It's a godsend. Chang'an Zheng family, this is the biggest buyer in the world. So a new plan was born. "

"So Zheng Anshun disappeared, Princess Wu's mother and daughter disappeared, and so did my deputy Pang Fei and the commander of the Navy Zhao Chong, right?" Qin mubai's cold way.

"You are right. However, I have no choice but to ask general Qin to bear with me! If we grass-roots bandits want to sit down and talk business with general Qin, we should have some capital in our hands, right? But you can rest assured that we have never dared to abuse any of them. They are all good to eat and drink. They are all safe and comfortable. " The man in Black said, "if you say one thousand, we will say ten thousand. We just want General Qin to be rich with us. How leisurely is it for everyone to take what they need and go their own way? "

"What do you mean, take what you need?" Qin mubai asked.

"Ha ha, general Qin, why pretend to be stupid?" The man in Black said with a smile, "which of the former governor of Xiangzhou or the commander of Junfu is not like us? It is also because we know that Li Ke, king of Wu, and general of Qin are very proud and arrogant. That's why we are cautious and try our best. Seeing that you seem to have put forward an attitude that is not in opposition to us, we have no choice but to do so. In fact, why do you have to? Life, but vegetation Yihui, earn more money, good life, beautiful wife and concubine, thousands of acres of fertile land, satiety, carefree all day, not leisurely? You were born noble, and you don't have to worry about money. We grass-roots bandits were originally just poor people. If we want to be prosperous, we have to find our own way. "

"So you're robbing and killing people and goods?" Qin mubai sneered.

"Well! I'm not here to talk to you about this. " The man in black seemed to be impatient. He knocked his fist on the table and said, "I'm sincere enough to cooperate with general Qin and make a fortune together. I just don't know. What does general Qin mean? "

"To be rich, everyone thinks that no one has any hatred for money." Qin mubai touched his chin and said, "I just want to know how we can cooperate, what I should do, what I can get, and what risks I will take?""Good. That's what general Qin said. That's the attitude a business man should have. " The man in black nodded and said, "what we need general Qin to do is very simple. That is, in the next few days, you don't care about things on the river. At the same time, we have issued a general military order, so that we can travel freely on the Hanjiang River. "

Qin Mu Bai laughed, "is it necessary to lend the Shenyu spaceship to you? That's the game. The loading capacity is large and no one checks it. I'm afraid there's no safer means of carrying cargo than a military ship. "

"General Qin, don't be sarcastic." In fact, as long as you are sincere and willing to cooperate with us, you don't need to do anything. Every year and every month, we will take the initiative to show filial piety. I promise, even if it's a mid autumn Festival Dragon Boat Festival, the filial piety money you receive is more than your salary for three years. If you want to, you can become the local emperor of Xiangzhou. No matter in the officialdom or in the green forest, you will be able to respond to every call, and everyone will be your only leader. "

"What about Li Ke, king of Wu?" Qin mubai said, "he's an assassin. In truth, he is the leader of Xiangzhou. "

"He..." The man in black laughed, as if disdaining, and said, "although he is a commoner prince, his ambition is not small. He was appointed as an official in Xiangzhou far away, neither seeking fame nor profit. It's hard for us to move him. But I can guarantee that he will have a very stable and peaceful life in Xiangzhou these days, and he will not be impeached as he was in Anzhou before. As you know, although Li Ke is smart and capable, he has many bad problems. Just pick one. It's like being addicted to sound, sex, gambling and sex. It's enough to play a book for the emperor. "

Qin Mu Bai's eyebrows were slightly deep, and he could not help but be surprised: how could these people have the ability to communicate with heaven?!

"Don't be surprised, general Qin. Don't think about it The man in Black said calmly, "we are just a group of grass-roots bandits. There is no support in the court. However, it's not difficult for ordinary people to sue the prince because of the clear administration of Zhenguan Tang Dynasty. If anyone writes a complaint to Chang'an Dali temple or the censor station to supervise the censor, the officials dare not refuse to accept it or conceal it, do they not? "

"You are really scheming. You are vicious and mean enough!" Qin mubai drank and scolded in a deep voice.

"Ha ha. Thank you for your compliment. " The man in Black said with a smile, "nowadays, a gentleman is either dead, or two meals and three meals are not available. In contrast, I'm willing to be a despicable villain. In fact, we are really a group of grass-roots bandits who have no ambition or ability. All we want is to make some money and then go back to be good people. Not for wealth, but for food and clothing, living a little better than ordinary people. That's enough. If general Qin is in a dilemma, I'm afraid it's hard for the imperial court and the emperor to explain it, we can also make a promise. Only when we have sold out this batch of grain, we will wash our hands and retire from the world, and the water devil of Xihe River will disappear from now on. In the future, King Wu and general Qin can also report this achievement to the imperial court, saying that after you take office, you will be greatly praised for your political integrity under Xiangzhou. Isn't that the best of both worlds? "

"That sounds good. It's really tempting. I don't have to do anything. I can make a lot of money, get peace, and get awards. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "but I feel it all around. I'm looking for skin with a tiger."

Qin mubai thought very clearly. The so-called thief never dies. Just like those guys who sold k-powder on the dance floor of hall D in previous lives, they cheated those ignorant young people. Even if they didn't give away money for the first time, they said how happy it was. And then when someone gets addicted to drugs, they get on the ship of thieves. They began to exploit and coerce, and even forced good people into prostitution.

Now the man in black is using the same routine. He began to talk about smallpox and tried to pull him into the water. After he got into the water, the handle was just in the other hand. The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. These water ghosts are playing with their heads pinned on their waists, and they are always ready to get their heads cut off. Qin mubai, an official, didn't want to play so hard, so he had to be submissive under their coercion. Constantly for their benefit, completely reduced to tools and puppets.

That's what we often say. If you walk by the river, you can't keep your shoes wet. If you get wet, just take a bath. Once you get wet, never go ashore.

This is probably the way the water ghosts in the west river channel have always lived on. As for the officials in office, they force and lure people into the water, and then they are indulged and supported by the government and the army. It started to run wild. Every time there is a change of officials, they will do the same. Because I always hold the handle of others, so I always have confidence. For those who refuse to cooperate, they may not come to a good end. If they are either pushed out or impeached by the accused, many of them will die in the end.

At this time, Qin mubai was more and more sure that Du Chengyuan in the military mansion was definitely a water ghost. They are very smart and will never take the lead. It's a puppet like officer on his head who's been punished for him. In fact, he is the local tyrant in the military mansion.

In contrast, Wei Xiaochen must be in the same situation.

So over the years, the governor of Xiangzhou and the Duwei of Xiangzhou military mansion have become puppets, receivers and substitutes. It's no wonder that the people in these two positions change more and more frequently, but all of them keep their mouths shut and don't disclose any information about water ghosts.Think about it, Xiangzhou Water Ghost and the government, the army. Almost to form a "industrial chain", there are many hidden rules.

……

"In fact, it's us who seek the skin of the tiger." The man in black took Qin mubai's words and said, "throughout the history of Xiangzhou governor and military officer, nothing is more difficult than you and Li Ke. In the past, we only needed to send a lobbyist to give us two cages of gold and silver to solve all the problems. At most, we would spend more money on the shameless tricks you said. It's compelling. But you can't. You are all people with great talent, and you have some skills. We don't dare to force you to be our puppets. We are just humbling to honor you. If you make money, you'll get the most of it. We'll only make a small profit to support our family. Is that too much? "

"It means that from now on, I will only have to sleep in the military mansion and do nothing else to get rich, right? Otherwise, I will never have peace, and I may lose my official position, my family and friends, or even my family and people. " Qin mubai said.

The man in black nodded solemnly: "if it's more straightforward, it's really such a situation."

"It seems that I have no choice!" Qin mubai made a bitter smile.

"General Qin is a very clever man. We believe that you will make the right choice. " Said the man in black.

"I need to think it over." Qin mubai said, "and before I make a decision, I should know whether the princess's mother and daughter, Pang Fei and Zhao Chong are safe."

"Don't worry, they are very good. catch me now. We do things according to the rules, otherwise we can't survive for so many years. You'll see them when it's done. Before that, please forgive me for not being able to let you see them. " The man in Black said, "in three days, we will wait for the good news from general Qin. When you come up with a decision, you'll let lady Hua know. "

Qin Mu Bai glanced at the flower lady standing on one side, and the woman said with a smile: "general Qin, why are you so careful. Are you still angry with me? I just want to make fun of you. It's just like that when you men meet beautiful women, they always want to come forward and flirt with each other. It's no different. "

Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow and said, "come here to find her?"

The man in black nodded: "I want to tell general Qin that your every move is always under our attention. Please don't play any tricks. Otherwise, it will infuriate us, which is a matter of vital importance! General Qin, please forgive me. We just want money. I don't want to hurt people. "

"Well, I see." Qin mubai got up and said, "I'll give you an answer at this time in three days. But please also make sure that all the hostages you plundered are safe and sound. Especially the sick Princess and the young princess. If there is a little mistake The consequences are at your own risk

"Don't worry. I have a clear idea of this kind of thing. General Qin just needs to take care of himself. " The man in black also got up and nodded slowly. Two cold lights came out of the empty mask eyes and threw them on Qin mubai, he said. "I also ask general Qin to be careful in military affairs and not to do things that he should not do. Otherwise, the consequences will be the same. "

"See you later!"

Qin mubai shook his robe and went downstairs.

"Cackle - cackle -" flower lady a bunch of Jiao smile, came to black dress person body, with her plump double breast up and down of rub black dress person's elbow son, eat to eat a way: "dead ghost, I was this little man's coquettish make all over fire, you come quickly in me to get rid of fire!"

"Good, ha ha ha!" The man in black laughs deliberately and grabs the breasts of Lady Hua with both hands. Flower lady immediately loud groan wave cry.

Qin mubai, who had just come down the stairs, suddenly felt a shiver of fear. His whole body was hot, his mouth was dry and his tongue was irritable. There was an evil fire rising in his lower abdomen. There was almost only one idea left in his heart. He wanted to lie down on Lady Hua and kill her alive!

"What's the matter? What's wrong with me? " Qin mubai's hands touched his face, and it was burning hot!

"No, I've been poisoned by aphrodisiac, and I found out!" Qin mubai was alert when he looked at the glass lamp on the roof. He was surprised: by the way, this strange fragrance is poison!

"Cluck, cluck!" Flower lady a bunch of waves smile, stripped bare from the stairs and shake down, his hands covered his breasts, coquettish extremely humming way, "come on, handsome little man, sister will love you!"

"Cheap woman, you have poisoned me!" Qin Mu Bai roared angrily.

"Oh, don't be angry! Do you really owe your sister's figure? " Flower lady leaned down on the stairs and licked her lips. He pointed to Qin mubai and said, "no man can escape from me. You won't be the first one. Now you have been poisoned by my strange flowers. If you don't make friends with me, you will become a eunuch like figure. How about your choice? "

The man in black was scolding: "bitch, I told you not to attack general Qin, but you didn't listen. He is our guest"It's just fun. It won't hurt him. At the end of the day. I'm the one who's going to suffer! " Lady Hua chuckled and said, "in other words, if he doesn't have the bad habit of flirting, how can he be poisoned? Don't you think we'll be ok? "

Qin mubai was stunned: when I went over the wall, I picked a gardenia to smell it. Then I mixed it with the fragrance of the lamp oil in the house, and I was poisoned?

"Cunt, old witch, I would rather be a eunuch than you! Bah, you can eat cucumber After scolding, Qin mubai rushes forward, only to find that the gate is locked. In his heart, he was so angry that he tried his best to kick down the gate. The huge and strong gate was knocked over by him, which scared the man in black and the lady in flower.

"Smelly girl, you seem to have gone too far!" The man in black swore.

"How did I know he was so strong? Is there such a man in the world? " Flower Niang son is also some stunned, regretful way, "every man and I have fun, there is no obedience to me.". Isn't that one of your plans? "

"It seems that We still don't know enough about him. He's really not a normal man The man in black sighed, "forget it. Fortunately, it's just a little medicine for spring beauty. It's not very toxic. It will resolve itself in an hour or two. Why did you scare him just now? If you don't have fun immediately, you will become a eunuch? "

"Because no man can stand such coercion and inducement." Flower lady angrily stamped her foot, "is this guy a eunuch?"
