Chapter 348: Lord Zheng generously donated money(1/2)
Zheng County Master hurriedly shouted outside,
"Get up the sedan! Get up the sedan!"
The sedan chairman outside heard that he was about to leave, but they all staggered. The sedan chair shook twice. The only thing Zheng County Master felt the sharp knife in his throat stabbed into his flesh twice, and he couldn't help but screamed in fear,
"Idiot, do you guys be more cautious about me, do you want to kill me?"
The sedan chair outside staggered and finally stabilized his body. There was a response.
"Master, you... why are you so much heavier?"
Zheng County Master said angrily inside,
"The master is not heavy. He is lazy when he eats enough every day. Now he can't lift the sedan chair. He blames me for coming here. He is such a waste!"
The sedan chairmen were scolded and did not dare to say anything. They could only bury their heads and raise their sedan chairs. The sedan chairmen were crossing the streets with crowds of people. The noisy voices drowned out the words of the people in the sedan chairs. The sedan chairmen outside could not hear the movement inside.
The man inside whispered in Zheng County Master's ear,
"Mr. County Master, don't be afraid, the villain just came to deliver the message..."
"Who are you here to deliver the letter?"
Zheng County Master asked in a low voice, trying hard to avoid the tip of the knife. The sedan chair was really small and the person was strong. Zheng County Master with a big belly was really unable to move the ground. The man responded,
"After the order of our master, our master hasn't gone ashore to do business a lot. He is a little tight and wants to borrow some silver and flowers from you..."
“Go ashore…”
When the Zheng County Master heard the word "get ashore", he moved his heart and asked in a low voice.
"Are you... a member of the Fujiwara family?"
The man answered,
"Just as long as the county master knows it!"
Zheng County Master was annoyed when he heard this.
"We have clear accounts and the money is clear. Our county does not owe you the owner. Why do you ask me for money?"
The man answered,
"There have been more wars on our island recently. The family's fields are not well harvested. The Qi family army is now in the limelight again. It is difficult for our master to do business when he goes ashore. The whole family is supported by our master. Now they are short of money. They think of the county master. You are rich and your hair is thicker than our waist. If you sprinkle a little, you can support all the people in our Fujiwara family. Thinking of the past love, I would like to ask you to help you!"
Zheng County Master said angrily,
"You Fujiwara family can't support you, so what's the matter with this county? This county has no affection with the Japanese pirates!"
The man seemed to have expected that he would deal with this, and then he reached out and took something out of his arms and shook it in front of him.
"Our master had known that the county master was not missing the old love, so he specially called Xiaodi and took a letter to you. There is also your private seal on it. You said that if you handed this letter to your Jinyiwei in your country and reported that you had an affair with Japanese pirates, you would probably not be able to end up with any gold, silver and treasures you have!"
Zheng County Master was shocked when he heard this, and then he remembered that the letter was full of code words, and he couldn't help but hum,
"I don't know why the letters I usually write to my family are in your hands, but I don't want to use this to threaten my county!"
"Is that true?"
The man smiled,
"I heard that the Jinyiwei of your country is very powerful, but he can be arrested without evidence. Whenever an official enters the prison, he must first be tortured. I wonder how many times can the adults stand it?"
Zheng County Master shivered when he heard this. After staying silent for a while, he finally became soft and said in a low voice.
"How much money do you want?"
He also had to give in. It would be fine if he was really an honest official. He was not afraid of people's investigation. But if he really recruited the Jinyiwei, he would be sure to investigate every time. He might even implicate the people behind him. He would not dare to bet that these Japanese pirates would not be anxious!
The man smiled and said,
"The county master is indeed a smart person. Isn't it okay for you to spend some money to buy peace? Isn't it okay for everyone?"
"How much money does it cost?"
Zheng County Master said impatiently, the man stretched out a finger, and Zheng County Master looked at the restaurant lights that were coming through from the sedan chair and couldn't help but get angry.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, your master has a big appetite!"
The man was stunned when he heard this and did not speak. Zheng County Master was angry for a while and gritted his teeth.
"Okay, this county will give you 100,000 taels of silver notes, but you must return all the letters you wrote to me, and... I want him to come!"
The man nodded and gave him the letter in his hand,
"Don't worry, our master keeps his word to the point. This letter is sincerity!"
Zheng County Master took the letter and opened it in the air-opening mouth. Although he didn't look very sincere, he could still remember what he wrote in his own handwriting. Seeing that it was indeed the original work, he stuffed it into his arms and shouted in a low voice.
"Get out quickly!"
The man smiled,
"I'm sorry, please ask the sedan chairman to stop the sedan chair!"
"Stop the sedan!"
Zheng County Master stopped shouting, and the man who was already tired outside was relieved to eat and gasp. He stopped the sedan chair immediately. Zheng County Master shouted again,
"You go to the shop there and buy a few boxes of snacks for the master... all of them!"
The sedan chairmen and Changsui who were following him were all shocked. They didn't know where the master was making a fuss. Changsui was about to ask, but was shouted by Zheng County Master.
"Don't get out of here!"
Several people heard that the master was angry and did not dare to neglect it at the moment, so they immediately jogged away. Then the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and someone came out of it and turned around to the Zheng County Master inside and said,
"The county master has prepared the money, just write a note and put it in the old locust tree hole near the county government. The younger ones will go and get it!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a hatred of Zheng County Master cursing in secret.
"I said it long ago, don't deal with these Japanese pirates. How can a group of beasts who are not worthy of education have benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and trustworthiness!"
Just be obedient when you give the bones, and bite the master if you don’t give the bones!
When my sedan chairmen came back here, they hurriedly ordered,
"Don't go back to the county government office, go and look at the sea tower!"
The sedan chairmen hurriedly carried the sedan chair to look at the sea tower again, but when they got up, they staggered again. The Zheng County Master inside was shaken and hit the wall of the sedan chair, and cursed again,
"A bunch of useless things are trying to shake me to death!"
The sedan chairmen outside were puzzled again. They just thought it was as heavy as before. When they got up, they almost drifted their waists. Why did they get lighter now?
But they didn't dare to ask too much, so they had to hurriedly carry their master to Wanghailou. Zheng County Master arrived at Wanghailou, and without anyone taking him, he went straight to the room on the roof, pushed the door in, and the layout inside was very gorgeous and luxurious, with red curtains hanging on the soft couch, and a man with open breasts exposed on his head. When he saw him coming, he smiled.
"How come Brother Meng Jiang has time to come here today?"
After saying that, he asked with a twitch.
"Brother Meng Jiang has just gone to the banquet. Haven't you enjoyed it yet?"
Zheng Mengjiang stomped his feet and replied,
"Hanzhang, you still have the time to joke. Those Japanese pirates have long said that they can't use it. Now I'll get it... I'll bite it back!"
After saying that, he threw the letter hidden in his arms in front of the person on the couch. The man glanced lazyly and said,
"Isn't this a letter you wrote? How can I show it to me!"
"oops……"
Zheng Mengjiang told what he had encountered today, and was so angry that he was wandering around the room.
"Tell me... what's going on? My decent Daqing court official will be threatened by Japanese pirates. It's really a great humiliation!"
The man on the couch laughed and waved to him,
"Brother Meng Jiang, please sit down first. What else should I do? It made Brother Meng Jiang so angry. It's just a few Japanese pirates. What should I worry about? I'll give you an idea..."
Zheng Mengjiang went over and heard it, and after a while he smiled.
"Okay, okay! It's worthy of Brother Hanzhang. No wonder the little master valued you so much. It's true that I'm not comparable to me!"
After two days, someone had put things in the old locust tree cave near the yamen. As soon as the person who put things left, someone flashed over and reached out to take it, pinched it in his hand, turned around and crawled into the alley next to it, but in a blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Soon, two people appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking at the empty alley,
"Oh no! I didn't keep up..."
"Go back... I'm afraid I won't explain it to the county master!"
The people disappeared, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to report. As soon as their figure disappeared from the alley, a neat figure jumped off the wall above.
"hey-hey!"
Looking at the two of them leaving, the man smiled and turned around and headed into the alley!
Soon, the note came to Yusuke Fujiwara. Yusuke Fujiwara knew the characters of the Central Plains, and he laughed wildly after reading it.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of silver, this...this...is about to be obtained!"
He originally wanted someone to ask for 10,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect that the Zheng surnamed was so generous that he could give so much 100,000 taels of silver!
To be continued...
