Sure enough, after hearing Li Mu's words, the little fat man didn't say anything. After staring at Li Mu for a long time, the little fat man suddenly laughed out loud: "You are really interesting, but I'm not fooled by you this time. Chuxue, go find Lao Zheng."

It seems that the little girl's name is Chuxue. When he heard the fat man's words, the little girl stood up with difficulty, put the cup in her hand on the table, and then quickly walked out.

The little girl didn't raise her head during the whole process, but Li Mu could clearly see the tears on the little girl's face, the slightly trembling body, and the lips that were almost biting bleeding.

Who should I blame?

I can only blame this dog-dance era.

Soon, an old man wearing a black melon-skin hat, a black vest robe, and glasses with only one lens on his ears. He was not tall and serious, and walked in quickly.

Seeing the fat little man, the old man bowed and sighed invisibly, and his expression was serious when he turned to face Li Mu.

"This is Mr. Li. If you don't come, I'm going to find you. My young master accidentally lost the ring I passed down from his ancestors yesterday. I heard that you picked it up. If Mr. Li returns to the original owner, there will be a good reward for the Prince Chun's mansion." The old man bowed slightly to Li Mu. His tone was indeed polite when he spoke, but his face was full of arrogance.

The old man's words revealed a lot of information, the most important thing was "Kong Wang Mansion".

The current King Chun of the Qing Empire was Emperor Daoguang's seventh son, his eldest wife was the sister of Empress Dowager Cixi, and his son was the future Emperor Guangxu, so there is no need to emphasize King Chun's position in the political arena in the late Qing Dynasty.

There must be such a "high reward", but how much "reward" method is worthy of investigation. Perhaps Prince Chun is happy, and Li Mu's official career will be successful from now on, and he may even reach the sky with one step.

Of course, it is more likely that Li Mu will be unable to move forward since his sins.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Mu. Li Mu has no intention of returning to the Qing Dynasty at all, and will not worry about future matters. What Li Mu urgently needs to solve is the current dilemma.

When Li Mu heard the words "Kongwang Mansion", there was a moment in his heart that he wanted to defect to the little fat man to obtain the little fat man's protection. I guess Old Man Chen would not dare to do anything to Li Mu.

But in a blink of an eye, Li Mu overturned this idea. If Li Mu only had to face the fat man, then Li Mu could take a risk, but with the "Old Zheng" in front of him, the road has been blocked. If Li Mu expressed his intention, it is unlikely that the old man in front of him will take in Li Mu, and he may hand Li Mu over to Old Man Chen, and everything will be done.

After thinking about this link, Li Mu no longer thought about the ones that were not there. Looking at Lao Zheng with an impatient look in front of him, Li Mu chuckled and ignored Lao Zheng at all. He went to find the little fat man: "Brother Fatty - this old man said you accidentally lost your ring yesterday - where do you start?"

Listen to these titles, "Fat Brother", "Old Master", tsk, can you still be less reliable?

Compared with Lao Zheng, the little fat man is indeed much easier to deal with. The little fat man's skin is obviously not as good as Lao Zhenghou. After hearing Li Mu's words, the little fat man was a little blushed and did not even pursue Li Mu's disrespect. He sat at the table with his legs crossed his face and looked impatient: "Lao Zheng, don't talk nonsense. I bought it with the money. I can't afford to lose this person."

That's right. How can people from the Dignified Prince's Mansion forcefully rob each other? The old man is shameless, but the little fat man is shameless. Didn't he hear that Li Mu has already called him brothers and brothers?

As expected, he is not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate, and a little fat man with a master like a little fat man, even if he has great skills, he will not be able to use it. Unless he tied up Li Mu and threw it into the sea, he would be completely destroyed.

However, the old man also knew that Li Mu's identity as "school children studying in the United States" was important. The Qing Empire's selection of international students was also a big deal, and it was already heard from heaven, so the old man dared not act rashly.

Look, Prince Chun’s mansion dares not take action, but Old Man Chen dares to take the blame for the world. It turns out that he is not accepting the orders of the king outside the country—

"How much do you want--" Lao Zheng turned around with a helpless look on his face. When he spoke, his hands had already been put into his sleeves. This was the meaning of restraining his hands and feet, and it was also a warning position, indicating that Lao Zheng had begun to enter the state.

"It's not how much I want, but how much this finger is worth for your mansion--" Since Li Mu was determined, he planned to go all the way to the dark, which means not leaving a trace of retreat. Since Li Mu did not plan to return to the Qing Empire, it doesn't matter whether he or she will make a good relationship with the royal palace.

"Haha, Mr. Li, be careful not to chew too much." Old Zheng laughed silently, but the anxiety in his eyes flashed.

Hehe, this is a mistake. If it were a fat man, he wouldn't have to take this ring at will to give it to others last night, but Lao Zheng is different. It is obvious that Lao Zheng knows more about the meaning of this ring to the fat man, or the significance of the Prince Chun Mansion.

As for the things passed down from ancestors, it would not hurt to sell the land of the little fat man, but for the Chun Prince Mansion, if the things passed down from ancestors were left out, it would really become the laughing stock of the Chun Prince Mansion. So now this ring is tied to the honor of the Chun Prince Mansion. If you use money to measure the value, it is really hard to say how much it is worth.

"Haha, Master Zheng, you haven't offered a price, where can I start with the number of more?" Li Mu did not accept Lao Zheng's threat. Silver is indeed a good thing, and it is indeed a life-saving flower. However, for Li Mu, as long as this boat approaches the shore, it is equivalent to Li Mu's seas and fish leaping at the sky and birds flying. No matter how powerful the Prince Chun Mansion is in the Qing Empire, can it be extended to the United States?

After hearing Li Mu's words, Lao Zheng's mouth twitched a few times, and he glared at Li Mu for a long time before he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Ten thousand taels!"

"The deal!" Li Mu made a sure thing immediately.

Ten thousand taels of silver, equivalent to 12,000 US dollars, can be used to support the family in the Ilyino Prefecture for a hundred years. If it were placed in the Qing Empire, the annual salary of the fourth-rank prefect was only 80 taels, plus 2,400 taels of clean silver, 10,000 taels would be almost the total income of a fifth-rank official in the Qing Empire for five years.

From the fourth grade, what is the concept?

If compared with the twenty-first century, it is almost the same as the governor's level.

It was such a perfect era. With a "federal coupon" worth 12,000 US dollars, Li Muzhi was very proud.

Back at Mike's cabin, Li Mu was so proud that he still put a hundred dollar "Federal Coupon" in front of Mike, and picked up Mike's Colt's 1872 single-handed grab and was very happy.

"You, where did you get so much dollars?" Mike looked over and over with the one hundred dollars, as if he could turn into two hundred.

"Don't worry, this is not a 'continental currency', but a serious 'federal coupon' that won't cheat you." Li Mu didn't raise his head and tied the belt connected to the gun holster around his waist.
