"Li Dawang sold it to me for 300000 taels. He was short of silver and was in a hurry to sell it, so he gave me a 50% discount.
However, I'm not planning to sell it.
If someone really wants it, I won't sell it for less than six hundred thousand. " Tang Wen shook his head.
"Lord Tang, you bought it for 300000 taels of silver and then sold it to the Imperial court for 600000 taels of silver. Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you for blackmailing the Imperial court?" Qingfeng said with a cold smile.
"That's the price of the land next to qianye market. How can you say that you're blackmailing the Imperial court?" Tang Wen sneered.
"Forget it, Lord Zhang, I have to go back to interrogate Qiao Xiao at night. Let's eat here for today." Qingfeng Kang stood up.
"You can interrogate him. You can even randomly add a crime and kill him.
Even though I'm just an Earl with a title, I don't have any power or strength.
However, my Tang family can easily deal with seventy - two murderous, robbing, and extremely vicious Pirates, so is there a need to expend energy to deal with a few people?
Lord Kang, this meal is Lord Zhang's treat.
It's fine if you don't want to give me face, but let's part ways here. " Tang Wen stood up and turned to leave, even faster than Qingfeng Kang.
"Sigh, young man, you're so hot - tempered. It seems that you're getting angry." Zhang Hongjiang shook his head and said,"Sir Kang, let's sit down and continue drinking. Don't mind him."
You're going to hear about Qiao Xiao's case after you've eaten and drunk your fill. However, Yang Yun, you previously mentioned that there were only fifty to sixty guards in somi.
He could actually kill 72 Pirates. It was said that there was also a rank -8 master among the Pirates, but he was also killed.
Now that he had been promoted to a rank 3 Earl, he could form a personal guard of 200 men.
At that time, even 200 Pirates would probably be unable to come ashore.
I do hope that he can kill more Pirates and get rid of the cancer in our Yanling County. "
"Let alone 200 Pirates, even 300 or 400 Pirates would find it hard to break through his camp. From what I understand, there are quite a few rank -8 martial artists among those Pirates. " Yang Yun said.
"Is he that strong?" Qingfeng didn't believe a fart.
"Sir Kang, do you have time to visit the island?" Yang Yun said.
"What's there to see on a deserted island? Lord Zhang, farewell!" Qingfeng Kang flicked his sleeves and left.
"This is too much, this is daylight robbery!" Yang Yun cursed as soon as Qingfeng left.
"You're robbing them for free and not giving them enough battle merits. Even a clay figurine has 30% Qi, so it's normal for Tang Wen to treat it like this. " Zhang Hongjiang said.
"I'm just afraid that Kang Qingfeng will take revenge and kill Qiao Xiao tonight.
At that time, the enmity between the two of them would be set in stone.
Lord Zhang, I think Tang Wen is a very smart person. Somi Island has a bright future.
When the island's farmland is reclaimed, our County can also collect a lot of tax grain.
If Kang Qingfeng messes it up and Tang Wen returns to Liangzhou in a fit of anger, we'll suffer a great loss. " Yang Yun said worriedly.
"Don't worry! He wouldn't dare. " Zhang Hongjiang laughed.
"Why wouldn't he dare? what's the difference between killing a commoner and stepping on an ant for the six Fan School?" Yang Yun said.
"Didn't tang Wen say something harsh just now? House Tang had close to a thousand servants, and he had to consider the consequences.
Moreover, although Tang Wen was now a count in name only, who could guarantee that he would not gain real power in the future?
For an Earl, how difficult would it be to get an official position?
Now that the war in the Northwest was tense, it would not be difficult for the Earl to get an official position.
I'll kill you then. He's a smart man, he won't do anything stupid, so don't worry.
However, he still had to be on guard. You go back and keep an eye on Qiao Xiao, don't let Kang Qingfeng ruin our good plan. " Zhang Hongjiang said.
"I'm so angry. " Qingfeng Kang spat out a mouthful of air and cursed.
"Daren is going to interrogate Qiao Xiao at night?" Yu Hong asked.
"Interrogate my ass, go back to the inn and sleep." Qingfeng cursed.
"Could it be that Daren is afraid of him? Although he was an Earl, he was only an idle person in name.
What could he possibly have on that deserted island?
If we don 't, Zhang Hongjiang and the others will see us as a joke. " Yu Hong said.
"That's true, I'm not afraid of him. Let's go. Let's make that kid suffer first. However, you can't kill him. " Qingfeng said with a nod.
In the middle of the night, Tang Wen received a letter from Yang Yun, saying that Kang Qingfeng interrogated Qiao Xiao at night, and Qiao Xiao left after being beaten up. He also said that he would keep an eye on her.
"This Kang Qingfeng is too despicable." GE Zi Yun said after reading the letter.
"We have to think of something quickly, otherwise, Qiao Xiao will be beaten to death by Kang Qingfeng in prison." The Tang Army was a little anxious.
"It's a good thing that he beat up Qiao Xiao last night. " Tang Wen shook his head and said.
"Is the beating a good thing?" The Tang Army was confused.
"Call us, Zhang Hongjiang, and Yang Yun. It's just to save face.
However, why didn't he dare to kill him directly?
That means that what I said to him was effective. " Tang Wen said.
"Lord Jue, you've said such harsh words, and he's also a little afraid.
So, the next step will probably be to send someone to somi Island to secretly investigate your situation.
If you had a lot of power and men, Qingfeng would naturally be wary of you.
Even if he wanted to make a move on you, he would have to be well prepared.
If you don't do anything, Qiao Xiao is dead.
However, Kang Qingfeng wanted qianye workshop's territory, so he would not kill Qiao Xiao for the time being.
If he wanted to waste time with you, then it would depend on who could last longer.
If you give in and compromise, qianye workshop will be Kang Qingfeng 's. " GE Zi Yun nodded.
"Bufeng, keep in close contact with Constable yang and send someone to keep an eye on the prison. Let's go back to the island and think of ways to recruit more people to strengthen our Tang family's power. " Tang Wen said.
However, just as they were about to set off in the morning, Li Chun 'er sent a Messenger over, saying that there was an important guest who wanted to see Master Tang.
Therefore, Tang Wen replied and Li Chun 'er asked him to meet at the river gazing restaurant at noon.
Tang Wen ordered the Tang Army to return to Soma Island immediately and transport all the mirrors, lipsticks, and other items left on the island to qianye workshop.
At noon, Tang Wen arrived at River gazing restaurant.
In addition to Li Chun 'er, there was a middle - aged man wearing an expensive blue and white silk, with a green jade ring on his finger and a hat made of sky silk on his head.
Seeing Tang Wen come in, the man quickly stood up with Li Chun 'er and bowed slightly."
"Greetings, count."
"No need to be so polite, this should be boss Shen right?" Tang Wen waved his hand, sat down, and asked Shen Xihe.
"I'm Shen Xihe. Jiang state capital's treasure house is opened by my Shen family. " Shen Xihe said.
"Lord Jue, the Shen family not only has a store of treasures, but they also have restaurants and inns. Their business is very big and they are also famous in the provincial capital of Jiang Zhou. Many people in the provincial capital know about the Shen family of stilted building. " Li Chun 'er said.
"It's an honor to meet you!" Tang Wen cupped his fists.
"Every time boss Shen comes to Yanling County, he would come to find me to listen to music. We have known each other for a few years.
This time, seeing the Western goods in my room, boss Shen was also very interested.
I'd like to take a batch of goods from you back to the provincial capital for a trial sale. If we can open up a channel, we'll be able to get more goods in large quantities in the future. " Li Chun 'er said.
"What kind of goods does boss Shen want?" Tang Wen asked.
"Lord Jue, what kind of Western goods have you bought? I want to take a look first." Shen Xihe said.
"Li Quan, bring the box in. Tang Wen shouted to Li Quan outside. The next moment, two of bu Feng's men carried a big box in. "
"The mirror, lipstick, and perfume must have been seen at Li Chun 'er's place.
However, I have some new Western goods here. For example, this is called a disposable lighter, and it's windproof.
This was a Silver Crown, and he was sure that women would like it very much.
Also, this cigarette is made with special spices, so it's much better than those local cigarettes. " Tang Wen put on an act one by one.
Li Chun 'er took the Silver Crown and put it on her head. She couldn't bear to let go.
Shen Xihe, on the other hand, was very interested in lighters and cigarettes. He lit them up and even started smoking.
"Boss Shen, do you think I'm pretty?" Li Chun 'er put on her Silver Crown and asked with a blush on her face.
"Beautiful, you are the courtesan." Shen Xihe said with a smile.
"Lord Jue, how much does a Silver Crown cost?" Li Chun 'er was overjoyed and asked.
"Five hundred taels," Tang Wen replied.
"I know the price of mirror lipsticks and perfume from Li Chun 'er, but how much is a pack of cigarettes? and this lighter, how much is one?" Shen Xihe asked.
"A lighter costs ten taels of silver, and a pack of cigarettes costs five taels of silver." Tang Wen replied.
"I want the goods worth 100000 taels. Can I get a 20% discount on all of them?" Shen Xihe asked.
