Wu Yizhou was also unambiguous, rolled up his sleeves and waited for the fight to begin. At this time, Liu Pei continued to say slowly: "Brother Hu, you should know the cause of this matter. The last time I came to Jinan, your gangsters were already broken when they robbed them on the way.

I broke the rules! I didn't kill them all to save face for your gang! But what I didn't expect was that your men would not let go of you and entangled more people to rob me! Isn't this too much?"

Before coming here, Liu Pei had already asked many things about the Daxing. Although the Daxing said that he did all kinds of bad things on weekdays, he publicly advertised that he did not steal or rob. Just like the heroes of Liangshan, those who kill people and set fire all day long say that they

He is doing justice for heaven! So as long as Liu Pei bites this piece of Hu Lin, there is nothing he can do.

Hu Lin raised his eyebrows and said forcefully: "Brother did a little bad last time, but Brother Liu shouldn't have killed him! As long as Brother Liu sues us, we will deal with it! As for this time,

We are just standing up for the brothers who are suffering."

Liu Pei sneered and said: "Did I strike hard? I struck lightly, and I couldn't even save my life! According to the regulations of the township and the government: thieves must be beaten when they come! Those who commit robberies will be killed without guilt! So the casualties of your brothers are the same as those of the government."

I don't care. I brought goods with me to Jinan twice. If the goods are gone, my family will be ruined. How dare I hesitate?"

Liu Pei insisted that he was transporting goods, and then someone robbed him, and his killing behavior was self-defense and counterattack. As for the casualties caused, he had nothing to do with him! From this point of view, Hu Lin had no choice. The two sides could only continue to argue.

As the two sides continued to talk, Hu Lin finally relented and his demands continued to lower. But Liu Pei knew in his heart that negotiations like this were about the strength of both parties! Liu Pei can use 100 people to disperse more than 200 people, so he is naturally not afraid

them.

The gang is a quite loose gang. This time, gathering more than 200 people has already done their best. Not to mention that they hired 5 archers from the military camp and 3 of them died. This requires smoothing out the officers and paying a large sum of money.

Money! And the people in the gang have been beaten and scared. It is simply impossible to gather hundreds more people!

The two sides talked for a long time, and finally Liu Pei became impatient. Liu Pei leaned forward, stared into Hu Lin's eyes and said: "Brother Hu, I can clearly tell you

One thing! At that time, I still had 40 unused fireguns in my cart! If I had used them, I wouldn’t have suffered such casualties!"

Hu Lin's face changed color when he heard this. He didn't know whether this was true or not. But he knew that he was about to be forced into a corner. If there is no result in the talks today, I'm afraid he will have to make a big deal! Otherwise, it will happen.

It's the end of the business card! You'll die without a burial place!

Liu Pei continued: "Today I will talk about my final bottom line. If Brother Hu agrees, we can still make friends in the future! If Brother Hu does not agree, then we will each rely on our strength."

Hu Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell me first."

When Liu Pei saw him opening his mouth, he knew that the matter was almost settled. He said: "Let's not talk about who is responsible for today's matter. I will give Brother Hu 3,000 taels of silver to look after the brothers' injuries! As for serving the wine, forget it.

! In addition, Jiaozhou and Jimo counties will no longer be under your control and will be taken over by me. From now on, we will not interfere with the rivers."

After hearing this, Hu Lin began to think about it and felt that it was feasible. With these 3,000 taels of silver, the problem of archers could be solved. At most, the officers could be given a few more taels of silver! Other injured brothers could also pay for some decoction and medicine.

As for the dead, those who have a family and a family will be given some settling-in allowance. Those who are single can just die. But in the legal profession, singles are the most common, so they can save a lot of money.

Liu Pei was too ruthless in this matter. These bachelors usually fight the hardest and run the fastest! They all ran to the front when they fought that day, and most of them died in the battle! So this is the settlement fee.

It doesn’t cost much. And with these 3,000 taels of silver, I have already made an explanation on my face, so things will be much easier to handle.

However, Hu Lin rolled his eyes and put forward a condition. He said: "Brother Liu's words have some truth! As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. Since Brother Liu is willing to give face, I will not pursue you here! As for Jiaozhou and

People in the two counties of Jimo have never listened to our dispatches. If Brother Liu wants Jiaozhou and Jimo, he may have to go get them himself!"

This Hu Linzhao had the idea of ​​driving away tigers and devouring wolves. Jiaozhou and Jimo counties themselves are poor places. As the saying goes, poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people. The people in those two places are fierce and aggressive, and there are also a lot of smugglers in there.

The salt lords of salt! Those people are real desperadoes, even the government servants dare to attack! They dare to fight against the guardsmen when they encounter it! The reason is very simple. Selling illegal salt in the Ming Dynasty was a serious crime! It is the same as the crime of modern drug trafficking.

It's basically death, so they dare to fight hard!

Hu Lin wanted to use the people from these two places to make Liu Pei suffer a loss! Even if Liu Pei successfully took over the two places, he would still have to fight with these people a few times. If Liu Pei loses, nothing will matter. If the fight

If he wins, the leaders in Jiaozhou and Jimo can also learn a lesson from this, and there will be no loss for him.

But Liu Pei also has his own ideas. The two counties of Jiaozhou and Jimo happen to cover Jiaozhou Bay. As long as he gets the underworld business in these two places, he will be considered a local bully! You must know that there have always been officials in the past dynasties who did not go to the countryside.

According to the theory, the countryside is entirely maintained by local clans and gentry. Therefore, as long as Liu Pei takes over the local underworld business and maintains the situation in the countryside, then he will be the uncrowned king of Jiaozhou Bay! As long as he does not rebel, no one will pay attention to Liu Pei

What to do in Jiaozhou Bay.

So Liu Pei said: "I won't trouble Brother Hu to worry about these things. Let's talk about what happened just now. I have finished what I need to say. Now I ask Brother Hu to settle it!"

Hu Lin squinted his eyes and began to think. His eyes were originally thin, but when he squinted again, he could hardly see his eyes. After a long time, Hu Lin clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Just do what Brother Liu said! From today on

, we both are in conflict with each other."

Liu Pei didn't hesitate and directly ordered the banknote worth 3,000 taels and handed it over. Hu Lin took it and saw that it was the banknote signed by Shopkeeper Hua. He handed over to Shopkeeper Hua and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Hua in the future."

Shopkeeper Hua nodded nonchalantly and said, "I don't care! Anyway, I'm a businessman, as long as you can reach an agreement, that's all."

Hu Lin raised his glass and said, "I'm sorry for bothering shopkeeper Laohua! Brother Liu and I would like to toast you!"

Liu Pei also raised his wine glass and toasted the flower shopkeeper. After putting down his wine glass, the atmosphere at the banquet relaxed and everyone began to drink and eat. But in fact, no one on either side had the intention of eating. After a few bites, everyone
Chapter completed!
