Chapter 163: Dealing with Female Assassins
Time is tight, and Qin Mu doesn't want to go around the circle, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Today I visit you because I have a request."
"Oh? As long as Zhao can, he will never refuse."
"Mr. I have also mentioned the news I have received so far that the 100,000 cavalry of the Huns are about to attack our Tokugawa Castle. I wonder what Mr. thinks about this matter?"
Zhao Dongcheng showed an indescribable sad look on his face, and said impatiently, "What do you think? I am just a businessman, not in his position and do not do his own politics. Where do you think?"
But he quickly calmed down again and quickly calmed down his emotions.
"Mr. Zhao's words are not bad. Isn't it a responsibilities for every man to hear the rise and fall of the world? What's more, the Zhao family is the largest family in Tokugawa County, and Mr. Zhao is the head of the Zhao family. He has a heavy responsibility. How can he refuse with an excuse to not be in his position and not do his own affairs?"
His sharp words and aggressive tone made Zhao Dongcheng carefully look at the new county magistrate who was too young.
"You are so serious about the county magistrate. Although Zhao is foolish, he also knows the reason why everyone in the country is responsible for protecting the country. However, the court is cowardly and incompetent, and local officials are in power. Even if Zhao has such a heart, he will not be able to do so!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Dongcheng couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh? If Mr. Zhao had this intention, he would have a chance to achieve it now." Qin Mu climbed up the pole and said in a hurry.
Zhao Dongcheng was not surprised when he heard this: "Mr. County Magistrate, don't go around in circles. You won't come to me at this time for no reason. Just tell me if you have any purpose today."
"Okay, hurry up and speak quickly. Today I want to ask Mr. Zhao to help our troops guard Tokugawa Castle and fight back against the invasion of the Huns." Qin Mu said.
Zhao Dongcheng was a little surprised. Although he had some premonition, he did not expect that the newly appointed young county magistrate would raise such a difficult question.
"Oh? I am very ambitious, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses I have under my command now?" Zhao Dongcheng asked in confusion.
"It's about 30,000." Liang Qiming Qin Mu replied.
"My lord also knows that the Huns have more than 100,000 cavalry, and the gap between the enemy and us is so great. Why should I be sure to repel the enemy? My lord must not say anything with integrity and passion. I am a businessman. Merchants are the most practical. Since lord has put forward such a suggestion, he must be sure of this matter. I want to hear what lord should use to convince me to accept this proposal?" Zhao Dongcheng said.
Haha, Qin Mu said with great confidence: "Mr. Zhao, please don't worry. If I am not sure, how dare I come to preach?" "Okay, Zhao listen carefully."
Zhao Dongcheng's left hand invited the two to take their seats, and Qin Mu was not humble. After sitting up, he told the officers what he had just told him, starting from the military configuration of the Hunters, the combat goals and disadvantages of the Hunters, and then adding to the strengths of his own troops, the advantages of weapons, arms and logistics supplies, and the strengths of the combat plan to avoid weaknesses. This speech made Zhao Dongcheng's eyes shine and his mood surge.
Finally, Qin Mu concluded: "If we can get the help of the Zhao family and other aspiring people and mobilize the support of the people of the whole city, I believe we are very sure to defeat the enemy's invasion. What's more, if the Huns come to our Tokugawa County, there must be news that we are not accommodating. Compared with them, we have the advantage of time and place. How can we not win."
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, he remembered "Okay!" outside the door. A burly middle-aged man walked in, and the sound was like a loud bell. He said, "My surname is Xu, I bet on this treasure with the county magistrate."
"Who is this?"
Qin Mu and Liang Qiming stood up and asked in confusion.
"This is the head of the Xu family of Tokugawa, Xu Yongchang." Zhao Dongcheng stood up and introduced with a smile. "I think since you have come to the Zhao family, you will definitely visit the Xu family. If you don't bother with the second master, you will simply invite Xu's head of the family."
"It seems that Mr. Zhao knew our purpose as soon as we arrived?"
"Although it is not far away, it is not far away." Zhao Dongcheng replied with a smile.
"Mr. The county magistrate. My surname is Xu is a cheerful person. I have heard what you said just now. I believe Brother Zhao has already had an idea in his heart. Master Zhao also knows that Brother Zhao and I are both businessmen. Merchants always talk about profit. Although the words that Master Xu are very brave and passionate, they are not of any benefit to our two families." Xu Yongchang said.
"This is what I want to talk to you. If you two support me, you two will be the official designated buyers of Tokugawa County in the future."
Qin Mu said that before he came, Qin Mu had thought clearly that businessmen value profit and did not have any profit, so this problem would not be difficult for Qin Mu.
"Targeted buyer?" Xu and Zhao asked with some confusion.
"That is, targeted buyers, such as the Tokugawa County military and local governments purchasing grain. Under the same conditions and the same price, the Tokugawa official and military must purchase grain from the Xu family. If they purchase clothes, they must purchase from the Zhao family. This is the so-called targeted buyers, that is, the Tokugawa County official procurement can only be purchased through you two companies in the future." Qin Mu said.
"That adult, how many designated buyers are there in Tokugawa County now?"
Zhao Dongcheng asked, Zhao Dongcheng was very interested in this designated buyer. You should know that the procurement volume of a county's military and government is very huge. Even if it is part of it, the profits are very considerable, and the benefits are very huge.
"It's only you two now." Qin Mu said.
"Since the county magistrate has said that, our Xu family is willing to stay in Tokugawa County and advance and retreat with the adults." Xu Yongchang said.
"Our Zhao family is willing to stay in Tokugawa County and advance and retreat with the Lord." Zhao Dongcheng also expressed his opinion.
"Haha, with two support, I am more confident in guarding Tokugawa County."
Qin Mu said that with these two major families that play a vital role among the people of Tokugawa Castle, it can be said that they have received the support of most of the civilians of Tokugawa Castle, which is very helpful for guarding Tokugawa Castle.
...
"Husband, you are back." As soon as Qin Mu arrived at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, he saw Liu Yan and several girls waiting for him at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.
"It's windy at night, why are you waiting for me at the door? If it gets cold, I will feel heartbroken."
Qin Mu said in surprise, "You must know that in the northwest, the wind blows over in May, and it's still a little cold."
"It's not cold, so late, husband, you haven't come back yet, we're not at ease."
Liu Yan said, "I heard from the people in the mansion that the Hunter Cavalry might have been attacked recently. Liu Yan was a little worried about her man. Seeing that her man had not even returned at night, she went to the door of her house to wait for Qin Mu when she saw her. When the other women saw her, they all went to the door of the county magistrate's mansion to wait for Qin Mu.
At this point, the girls of the Crazy Dream couldn't help but look up to Liu Yan, who was only eight years old. She was so scheming and could please men. She would not be her opponent in the future. This made some women who were a little dissatisfied with Liu Yan's young age and became the first wife, and all had the idea of fighting with her.
"Do you know that you are not allowed to do such stupid things in the future?"
Qin Mu held Liu Yan's hand with some emotion and said, "Qin Mu really didn't expect that his eight-year-old wife would now know how to love her man."
"Well, husband, let's go in." Liu Yan took Qin Mu's hand and walked towards the backyard.
"Husband, did you eat tonight?" Liu Yan asked on the way.
"I ate it, ate it at Zhao's house, and drank some wine." Qin Mu said.
"Husband, what are you going to do with that female assassin who was locked in the dungeon of the county magistrate's mansion?" Liu Yan looked at Qin Mu and asked.
"Female assassin?" Qin Mu then remembered that if Liu Yan had not mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about the female assassin who was locked in the county magistrate's mansion.
"Madam, have you seen her?" Qin Mu asked.
"She is the enemy who killed my brother, how could I not go and see her?"
Liu Yan gritted her teeth and said, if it weren't for this female assassin, her brother would definitely be alive now, so Liu Yan wouldn't have let go of the person who killed her brother.
"Who ordered her to do that?" Qin Mu asked.
"No, she is a professional killer and will not confess easily." Liu Yan said.
"Then I will torture me. I don't believe how hard a woman is." Qin Mu said coldly. Qin Mu felt that there was no need to be polite to the assassin who dared to assassinate him.
"The assassin is so beautiful that the person below doesn't understand what his husband is thinking, so he dare not torture her." Liu Yan said.
"Well, what do you think you should deal with this assassin? Otherwise, I will just pull her out and chop it up. As for who sent them to assassinate me, I can guess how many points it is. It doesn't matter whether she has her confession." Qin Mu said.
"Wouldn't it be too cheap for her to kill her?" Liu Yan said.
"Madam, what do you mean?"
He asked in some confusion, wouldn't it be nice to kill the assassin and avenge her brother? Why did she call her cheap?
"I have seen that female assassin. She is really beautiful and she is definitely one of the most beautiful women in a million. It's a pity to kill her, so it's better to keep it. Does your husband really have no idea about her?" Liu Yan asked at Qin Mu.
"In this world, there are so many beautiful women, and I don't care about the lack of such a woman. Who asked him to kill my brother-in-law? If you don't kill her, how can I relieve my anger?" Qin Mu said.
"Husband, killing her is really cheap. I want her to live a life worse than death in my life." Liu Yan said viciously.
