Good guy, just now Liu Dao said that he could not accomplish much because he was a man of little words. Now when he saw the gold, he became capable of doing things, but he did not dare to do things that violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Hosokawa Noriyuki was heartbroken and bleeding, he was still very satisfied with Liu Dao's attitude. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Liu. I am also a serious businessman. How could I do something illegal?"
Liu Dao curled his lips, not sure whether he believed his lies or not.
"Haha" Liu Dao suddenly laughed, not forgetting to hold the box tightly in his hand, and said: "Since you have invested so much money, what do you want me to do?"
Hosokawa Noriyuki suddenly laughed and said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I just want Mr. Liu to help pass the message so that I can ask to see the governor."
Liu Dao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and asked with some disbelief: "Is it really that simple?"
If this was really the case, Liu Dao would agree without hesitation. Just by sending a report, he would be able to get a hundred taels of gold. There was no reason for him to extrapolate such a cheap thing.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki smiled reservedly and said, "Of course, it would be best if Mr. Liu can help me find out some information."
It turned out that helping him pass the message was just incidental, and the real purpose was to wait for him here. Liu Dao looked at Hosokawa Mokiyuki meaningfully, and said with a sneer: "So you want me to betray the Governor?"
Liu Dao suddenly slapped his hand on the table, glared, and said sternly: "I tell you, you have found the wrong person!"
Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly stretched out his hand to comfort Liu Dao and explained: "Master Liu has a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Liu Dao immediately stood up angrily and said, "You want to inquire about the news in the Governor's Mansion because you want to be detrimental to the Governor."
Noriyuki Hosokawa immediately explained, "How dare I do anything against the Governor? I want your help to find out how much food the Governor's Mansion has now."
After hearing this, Liu Dao's anger subsided a little. He stared at Hosokawa Mochiyuki and asked with some disbelief: "Is it that simple?"
"Of course." Hosokawa Mokiyuki quickly comforted Liu Dao and sat down again, smiling: "It's just such a request and nothing else. What do you think, Master Liu?"
Yanado looked relieved and immediately sat down following Hosokawa Mochiyuki's comfort. After all, there was a box on the table. Even if he didn't want to give Hosokawa Mochiyuki face, he had to give face to the things in the box.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Dao said: "If that's the case, then we can help you ask."
> After saying that, he pushed the box towards Hosokawa Mochiichi and said, "But you should take this thing back."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki is not a fool. Of course he knows that Ryugo really wants the gold, but he just refuses because of his face.
"What did you say, sir?" Noriyuki Hosokawa immediately stopped Yanagata's movements.
But Liu Dao insisted that he would not accept it, and said: "No reward for no merit, let's wait until we find out the information before we talk."
"Why are you so aloof, sir?" Hosokawa Mokiyuki pushed the wooden box in front of Liu Dao, patted it twice, and said, "My lord, just accept it with confidence. When the matter is completed, I will be generously rewarded. Besides,
, Your Excellency, if you want to get news from other colleagues, you have to have some ideas, right?"
Liu Dao burst out laughing immediately, put the box away in his arms with peace of mind, patted Hosokawa Noriyuki on the shoulder and said: "You are still thoughtful. This matter will be left to us. If we didn't find out,
The news you want. The original price of this thing will be returned."
"No, no, no, sir, you are too humble. With your status in the Governor's Mansion, wouldn't it be easy to get a piece of information?" Noriyuki Hosokawa complimented.
Yanagora chuckled and looked at Hosokawa Mokiyuki meaningfully. This old boy obviously had a purpose, but he could agree first before luring the snake out of its hole and letting him reveal his fox tail.
After the two initially reached an agreement, they immediately felt that they were much closer to each other. After drinking tea for a while and chatting with each other, they finally
The two of them left the inn one after another.
After Yanagi and Hosokawa Mochizuki parted, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face, and he touched the wooden box in his arms. He shook his head slightly and sighed secretly: "This old boy is quite generous now, but it's a pity, I Yanagi
You are not stupid to easily believe the lies of an old boy like you. But although I don’t know what you really want to do, the Governor must know."
Therefore, Liu Dao went directly to see the Governor without any delay.
Jiang Wei heard his subordinate come to report that Liu Dao wanted to see him for something important. He happened to have nothing to do, so he asked Liu Dao to come in.
"Liu Dao, what do you want from this governor?"
Liu Dao lowered his head, stood still, and quickly took out the wooden box.
Jiang Wei took a look and asked rather strangely: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Dao raised his head and said truthfully: "Back to Mr.
Lord Governor, this is"
After telling the whole story in detail, Liu Dao stood aside with his head lowered, waiting for the Governor's words.
Jiang Wei glanced at the box with emotion. Even though there was one hundred taels of gold inside, he didn't even think about opening it. Now there was only one thought in his mind, that is, Komatsu Reiko was really anxious.
He casually put the box into Liu Dao's hand.
"Mr. Governor, what is this?" Liu Dao was extremely surprised.
It is impossible to say that Liu Dao can easily part with the one hundred taels of gold. Although he is not jealous of money, he came overseas just to make a fortune so that he could go back and honor his ancestors. With such a huge wealth,
It was more than he had earned in a year before, so how could he not be tempted?
It's just that he still knows what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken. Like the silver pancakes that Hosokawa Mokiyuki gave him before, it is money that can be taken with confidence. But the one hundred taels of gold in front of him is really too hot for him.
It's not for him to take.
Jiang Wei saw the confusion on Liu Dao's face and said with a smile: "Since he gave it to you, just keep it."
"Collect it, collect it?" Liu Dao became more and more confused as he listened. He was worried that the Governor did not understand what he meant, so he said: "Sir, he is just trying to find out how much food there is in the Governor's Mansion."
Jiang Wei nodded and said: "Well, I know. Since he wants you to inquire, then go and inquire. They have given you so much money, wouldn't it be inappropriate if you don't inquire?
"
Not appropriate? Then is it appropriate to betray the news about the Governor's Mansion? Is it appropriate? Liu Dao swallowed his saliva, wondering why both the Governor-General and Hosokawa Mokiyuki suddenly became so strange.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki inexplicably spent so much money on how much food was available in a governor's palace, which was not normal at all.
The Governor was even more strange. Knowing that Hosokawa Noriyuki wanted to inquire about information, he actually asked himself to find out how much food there was in the Governor's Mansion.
What is going on? Liu Dao's poor wisdom makes him very confused now, and he doesn't know what to do at all.
Jiang Wei looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Go."
"Does the Governor want me to reveal the news to him? But why doesn't Your Excellency send someone to tell him the news directly?" Liu Dao is not hopelessly stupid, and in a state of rapid secretion of adrenaline, he still wants to understand.
A little bit.
>
Jiang Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "That is a smart man. A smart man will only believe in himself when doing things, and will never believe in me. No matter how much food I tell him in the Governor's Mansion, he will
No one will believe it. But if you tell him, he will definitely believe it. After all, he spent a hundred taels of gold to buy your news. There is no reason for him to not believe it, right?"
When Liu Dao heard this, he was surprised that there were so many twists and turns. Forget it, Liu Dao didn't bother to think about it anymore. He thought to himself, it was the Governor who asked me to do it, so let's do it.
With the permission of the Governor-General, he was not afraid of being discovered by inquiring about information in the Governor's Mansion, and could even be profitable. Why not do it?
Liu Dao said goodbye and went out, weighing the box in his hand. One hundred taels of gold, he got it just by asking for some information, and there was no trouble at all. He really woke up laughing in his dreams.
After getting the signal from the Governor, Liu Dao's process of asking for information went very smoothly. In just two days, he found out exactly how much food was stored in the Governor's Mansion. During this period, he just bought some good food.
After a good meal and wine, I took a few lieutenants who were guarding the grain store to have a drink. After a few glasses of wine, the lieutenants began to brag each other, and soon the number of grains in Liudao Grain's inventory was known.
A general understanding.
Two days later in the morning, Liu Dao took advantage of Xiu Mu to go out and wandered around the street. When no one was paying attention, he ducked and walked into a warehouse.
Turning around a small alley, I saw Noriyuki Hosokawa sitting in front of a table, and as expected, there was a table full of wine and food on the table.
Liu Dao smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. Why are you doing it so mysteriously? It was fine at first, but when you did it, it made me feel like I had done something sorry for the Governor's Mansion."
"It's okay, it's okay, what can happen?" Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly smiled in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere, and enthusiastically helped Liu Dao sit down.
Liu Dao was not polite and Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the chair.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki glanced at Yanagida, with a smile on his face, and said: "Looking at Mr. Yanagi's radiant demeanor, the things I entrusted you to do must have been completed, right?"
Although Ryuudao found out the information easily, he couldn't act too relaxed in front of Hosokawa Mochiyuki. Otherwise, Hosokawa Mochiyuki might think that he didn't even bother, and the reward behind this would be
Maybe it will be gone? Hosokawa Noriyuki said personally that as long as he gets the job done, he will be rewarded generously.
