Chapter 82: Liu Jin's Heartbreak
Han Dong was stunned by Liu Jin's words. Is it so direct? He suddenly didn't know what was going on. He turned to look at Jiang Lian, hoping that he would give him some tips. Although Han Dong is a wealthy family in Liaodong, he has given many gifts in recent years.
Bribes are given, but the money is given in various ways, and even under various pretexts, for fear of being caught.
This was the first time he gave a gift to a eunuch. Han Dong was a little confused. Do eunuchs now accept gifts so openly?
Jiang Lian was no longer surprised. Seeing Han Dong looking at him for help, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Eunuch Liu is not an outsider."
"As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief." Liu Jin held the tea cup and said softly: "You insisted on seeing our family today, and you even gave me a generous gift when you did. Naturally, our family knows that you have something to ask for.
Our family will not beat around the bush. If this matter can be handled, our family will accept the money. If this matter cannot be handled, our family will not take your money." After saying that, Liu Jin took the five dollars that Han Dong had given him.
He took out a thousand taels of silver and put it on the table.
At this moment, Han Dong's feeling can only be expressed in two words, that is, pleasure. Giving gifts to civil servants used to be a lot of twists and turns, but now seeing Liu Jin's attitude, Han Dong suddenly felt that Liu Jin was more pleasing to the eye.
This was the clean slate in corruption and bribery. Han Dong was relieved, but he was not short-sighted. He smiled and picked up the banknote Liu Jin put down and put it into Liu Jin's hand calmly: "Liu Jin
My father-in-law, I really have something to entrust you to me, but whether it can come true or not depends on the favor. This is my meeting gift, please accept it, Eunuch Liu."
Is there any reason to get back the money that was given away? Besides, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, it is a good deal to hook up with the eunuch next to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, given how favored Eunuch Liu is, there will definitely be a seat in the Chief of Ceremonies, maybe even a front seat. Under such circumstances, if he can curry favor now, what does this money mean?
?Han Dong thought very broadly and was shrewd enough. When he saw Liu Jin collecting the money again, Han Dong suddenly smiled.
Liu Jin glanced at Han Dong, smiled and nodded: "You are good, generous, and a person who does things. Let's talk about it. We will do our best for you."
"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Han Dong was already happy: "Actually, it's not a big deal. His Royal Highness intends to inspect Liaodong, and my younger brother is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Han Fu. He is responsible for this!
I hope my father-in-law can say a few nice words in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. This has been the case in Liaodong for many years. Although my brother has been conscientious and abiding by the law since he took office, this old habit is hard to change!"
"Don't worry, father-in-law. After everything is done, our Han family will never forget father-in-law's support. I will thank you very much!"
Talking alone wasn't enough, so Han Dong took out another banknote and put it on the table, this time two, and gently pushed it forward in front of Liu Jin.
Calmly picking up the banknote, Liu Jin took a look and found that it was different from the last time. This time it was not 5,000 taels, but 10,000 taels. These two bills were 20,000 taels. Liu Jin's heartbeat accelerated.
That's twenty-five thousand taels. These people are really rich! But Liu Jin could only think that this was all the prince's money, and he didn't dare to put it in his own pocket.
"Things are not easy to handle!" Liu Jin put the banknote into his sleeve, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Liaodong to train armaments. As you know, if the matter was not serious to a certain extent, what would happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Will you come in person? The DPRK is very dissatisfied with Liaodong's battle against the barbarians!"
Han Dong was stunned, hearing that Liu Jin's words were words of evasion. If he were a newbie, he might think that this was words of evasion, and there was nothing he could do about it. But Han Dong knew that since Liu Jin had put the money in his sleeve, then
It means it can be done, but the money is not in place. Thinking of this, Han Dong suddenly smiled, reached out and put another banknote on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Liu Jin.
"Please, father-in-law, please be more considerate." The smile on Han Dong's face was extremely flattering.
Picking up the silver, another ten thousand taels, Liu Jin quietly put it into his sleeve again, and then said with a smile: "Although it is difficult to do, it must be done no matter how difficult it is, right? But Mr. Han, you
You know, although our family is favored in front of the prince, if only one of our family speaks for your brother, I am afraid that we are weak."
"The manpower of the Black Dragon Guard and the other servants serving His Majesty need to be taken care of. This money cannot be spent less. Otherwise, these people will not be able to accomplish anything, but they will be more than capable of failing!"
Han Dong almost cursed in his heart, this is not enough? Thirty-five thousand taels! Although the Han family is rich, this is too much.
In fact, Han Dong really has no money. He only brought these 35,000 taels or 5,000 taels as a meeting gift. In Han Dong's opinion, this is not enough. There may be some left, but
Obviously, Eunuch Liu was still not satisfied. But he couldn't go back at this time, so Han Dong had to grit his teeth and said, "I wonder if 20,000 taels is enough?"
Speaking of this number, Han Dong's heart bleeds. Fifty-five thousand taels, this is not a small number!
When Liu Jin saw Jiang Lian winking at him, he knew in his heart that it was almost done, so he smiled and said: "That's enough, that's enough. Twenty thousand taels is enough to send them away. In this case, then this matter will be taken care of by our family."
Don't worry, Mr. Han, this matter will come to an end in the next few days, and Mr. Han will definitely not be disappointed."
When Han Dong heard what Liu Jin said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fifty-five thousand taels felt a little painful, at least the matter was done.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch-in-law." Han Dong quickly stood up and bowed, his tone full of gratitude, but he had already cursed in his heart. At this moment, Han Dong didn't feel that Eunuch Liu was happy either.
This is the eunuch with a dark heart, he is simply evil.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking, we're going back home. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can't be without anyone near you." Liu Jin stood up and said with a smile.
Jiang Lian and Han Dong sent Liu Jin out together. Watching Liu Jin's carriage leave, Han Dong sighed dejectedly, but he still turned to Jiang Lian and saluted: "Brother Jiang, thank you very much for today."
"Brother Han Xian, don't say this, we don't need to be so polite with each other." Jiang Lian waved his hand and said, then he got in front of Han Dong and said: "Brother Han, don't feel bad about this money, it will not be wasted.
