"No wonder Zhang Taiyue said: In recent times, all those who are probing the public opinion are from Jiangyou. This Jiangxi public opinion surveying technique is really so superb, Wang has seen it." Wang Qifeng said with emotion.
The so-called Jiangyou refers to Jiangxi. During the Ming Dynasty, Taoism in Jiangxi was very prosperous. Places such as Longhu Mountain and Sanqing Mountain were all famous Taoist mountains, and famous surveyors emerged in endlessly. This sentence quoted by Wang Qi is
The former chief assistant Zhang Juzheng said this, which shows how famous Jiangxi surveyors are.
If someone from somewhere else came and claimed to be a surveyor, I'm afraid Wang Qifeng would be more suspicious. But I heard that Su Hao and Chen Guanyu spoke with Jiangxi accents, and Chen Guanyu not only dressed as a Taoist priest, but also had a facial expression.
The expression on his face was quite Taoist, and he was obviously not a Taoist priest in disguise. In this way, Wang Qifeng's doubts were greatly eliminated.
Now that he had 70% to 80% confidence in Su Hao's identity, Wang Qifeng decided not to go around in circles with Su Hao. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Su, it's a coincidence that Wang happened to be in Yangzhou.
Wang, who is on duty at the general's house, also heard about Mr. Su's story about his apprentice being arrested. I want to hear how Mr. Su plans to redeem him?"
"Brother Wang actually belongs to General Yang Shen's house?" Su Hao widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised. In fact, before Wang Qifeng showed up, he knew that there must be someone from Yang Chaodong's side today.
They have to come to meet him, otherwise, why would the innkeeper personally go out and bring them to Bowang Tower.
"Oh, I'm sorry that I was blind and didn't see it. It's really rude, so rude." Su Hao said repeatedly, and at the same time he stood up and planned to drink some wine or something to express his apology. But he glanced at the table with his eyes.
After looking around, I didn't find any alcoholic beverages. He couldn't serve him a bowl of porridge and "do it first as a courtesy", right?
Wang Qifeng showed the indifference of a superior. He waved his hand and said: "Young Master Su, there is no need to be polite. Wang just met Mr. Su by chance. Mr. Su wants to go to the General's Mansion to redeem someone, do you know what to do?"
Su Hao shook his head and said: "I really don't understand the rules, please ask Brother Wang to teach me."
Wang Qifeng said: "As far as Wang knows, Mr. Su's apprentices were detained as spies. When they were detained, several soldiers of the General's Mansion were injured and have not recovered yet. If Mr. Su is
If you want to redeem people, I'm afraid you have to pay the medical fees of the injured soldiers of the General's Mansion first, otherwise, General Yang may not be able to talk easily."
"This is what it should be, it should be." Su Hao agreed without hesitation. Of course he knew that the so-called hurtful things were all excuses, and the other party was just using them to blackmail him. He was mentally prepared for this kind of blackmail.
If the other party lets him go immediately after hearing what he said, it will make him feel uneasy.
"Mr. Wang, I wonder how much the medical compensation is worth?" Chen Guanyu asked.
Wang Qifeng said: "I have never asked about this, but General Yang Shen always takes good care of his subordinates. If a subordinate is injured, General Yang Shen will always invite the best doctors and use the best medicinal materials to treat him.
Yes, sometimes it’s not a big deal to spend a hundred and eighty taels of silver on a person’s head. I heard that there were more than 20 injured brothers this time, do the math..."
"These damn idiots!" Su Hao suddenly cursed.
"What do you mean, Mr. Su?" Wang Qifeng was confused by Su Hao's curse words. He didn't know why Su Hao suddenly turned against him even though he was speaking well.
Su Hao saw the unhappy look on Wang Qifeng's face and quickly explained: "Brother Wang, don't get me wrong, I'm scolding those incompetent apprentices. These idiots are not very good at work, but they are good at fighting. A dozen of them actually injured
I killed more than 20 people in the General's Mansion. How much money do I have to pay? I understand. This must be because the soldiers in the General's Mansion love the people like their own children and do not fight with my apprentices. Otherwise, how can these apprentices be in the General's Office?
How many rounds should I walk in front of the soldiers of the mansion?"
"Well... Wang doesn't know the details very well." Wang Qifeng said nonchalantly. He was busy thinking about how to blackmail Su Hao, but forgot about the strength comparison between the two sides. A group of soldiers from the General's Office went to arrest more than a dozen civilians.
If more than 20 people were injured, what a bunch of useless soldiers they would be. What Su Hao said just now was just to complain about his nonsense.
"So many people have been injured in the General's Mansion. Naturally, I can't turn a deaf ear. Didn't Brother Wang just say that one person needs at least one hundred and eighty taels of medical treatment? If there are more than 20 people, I can get a medical treatment of 3,000 taels. Brother Wang
Can you go around for me and see if I can redeem my disciples with a compensation of 3,000 taels?" Su Hao said.
When Su Hao was talking, Chen Guanyu seemed to be very anxious. He winked at Su Hao desperately and stepped on the table with his feet. He didn't know whether he made a mistake in haste or was born with no sense of direction. He didn't step on it.
He grabbed Su Hao and stomped Wang Qifeng's feet several times, so painful that Wang Qifeng almost jumped up.
"Sir, we... didn't bring that much money." Chen Guanyu finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Su Hao with a grimace.
"Of course I know we don't have that much money, who said I would use cash to redeem people?" Su Hao glared at Chen Guanyu and said.
When Su Hao first said that he was willing to pay 3,000 taels of silver, Wang Qifeng was really shocked by Su Hao's generosity. It was just a dozen rough guys, how could anyone be willing to pay so much money for redemption. But when he heard
When Su Hao said he didn't plan to take any cash, Wang Qifeng was shocked again. "If you don't need cash, what are you going to use to redeem someone?"
"Brother Wang, I am willing to offer a mine worth more than 3,000 taels to General Yang Can. Do you think you can redeem my people?" Su Hao asked.
"Is Mr. Su talking about a gold mine?" Wang Qifeng asked subconsciously.
Su Hao shrugged and said: "If General Yang Shen likes gold mines, I can't find him. However, according to my judgment from looking at the earth's energy, there are no gold mines in Bozhou, and the closest gold mine to Bozhou is Mahu.
, I went to Zhenxiong, even if I offer it to General Yang Shen, it will be in vain."
"What kind of mine is that?" Wang Qifeng asked.
Su Hao said: "The nearest one is the coal mine. A good coal mine has an annual output of more than 3,000 taels. I will donate a large coal mine to General Yang Shen. I wonder if General Yang Shen will be willing to let him go."
"Is there really a coal mine in Bozhou? What if coal cannot be mined from the location indicated by Mr. Su?" Wang Qifeng continued to ask. He found that Su Hao's statement was consistent with the statements of He Benzheng and others who had been detained earlier.
From the confirmation point, it seems that He Benzheng and others really did not lie.
Su Hao said with a smile: "This matter is very easy to verify. As long as General Yang agrees to release people, my younger brother will inform General Yang of the location of the coal mine. General Yang can send people to dig and release people when they see the coal. This condition is not bad.
Bar?"
"But isn't Mr. Su here to look for ore for Eunuch Hu? If you donate the mine to General Yang, how will Mr. Su explain it to Eunuch Hu?" Wang Qi asked.
Su Hao said: "Eunuch Hu is not interested in coal mines. Coal mining is hard and tiring. Earning thousands of taels of silver is not enough to do anything. What Eunuch Hu wants is a gold mine. It's a pity that my younger brother has had it mined for so long. I found that
There are no gold mines on the ground in Banshu.”
"That's it." Wang Qifeng said, "Is the coal mine Mr. Su mentioned really located in Bozhou? I don't know where it is located and whether it is convenient to mine. If it is located in the deep mountains, the coal cannot be transported out of the mountain. Such a coal mine
I’m afraid it’s useless.”
Su Hao said: "Brother Wang, you can rest assured about this. Please report it to General Yang on behalf of me. This coal mine is within 20 miles outside Bozhou City. As soon as my apprentice is released, I will immediately point it out to General Yang."
"Okay, if that's the case, then Wang will send a message to Mr. Su, but whether General Yang is willing to accept it, Wang doesn't dare to say." Wang Qifeng said.
At this point in the conversation, the goals of both parties have been achieved. Wang Qifeng stood up and said: "Without further delay, Wang will go to the General's Mansion to meet General Yang to explain Mr. Su's sincerity. Mr. Su will
Just wait for the good news."
Su Hao also stood up, cupped his hands to Wang Qifeng and said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Wang."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Guanyu. Chen Guanyu understood, took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Wang Qifeng's hand. Wang Qifeng pretended to dodge, and Su Hao said: "Wang Qifeng
I want to send a message to my younger brother. I will naturally have to pay for these errands. If things work out, I can also tell Brother Wang about a small coal mine that can be run smoothly. I can make a few hundred taels of pocket money a year. It should be enough.
questionable."
Hearing Su Hao talk about mineral deposits as casually as crops in the field, Wang Qifeng's last doubt about Su Hao disappeared. In those days, prospecting was definitely a technical job, and it was not like Yang Yinglong had not hired a surveyor.
The division prospected near Bozhou, but found nothing in the end. It was obviously the first time for Su Hao to come to Bozhou, but he actually dared to promise to donate a large coal mine to Yang Chaodong, and even dared to offer a small coal mine to Wang Qifeng who had sent the message. This is
What a arrogant person.
Wang Qifeng did not believe that Su Hao was lying. Su Hao made it very clear that as long as Yang Chaodong agreed to release the person, he would tell the location of the mine, and he could see the mine before releasing the person. If he didn't have it in his heart,
He was so sure, how could he dare to make such wild claims?
Since Su Hao is a real surveyor, Yang Chaodong's previous doubts about He Benzheng and others are completely unnecessary. It seems that He Benzheng and others are indeed just running errands for the surveyor, not scouts in the Ming army. Since they are not
There is no need to keep the spy in his hands anymore. It is unwise to offend the mine supervisor Hu Yu for no reason. Being able to get a coal mine through this matter can be regarded as an unexpected windfall. Wang Qifeng knows that the Tusi Mansion is currently working hard and needs to
Su Hao donated a lot of money and mines, which was a great help to the Tusi Mansion.
"Young Master Su is staying at the Jinzhong Inn, right? Then please go back to the inn to have a rest first, while Mr. Wang will deal with the matter first. Don't worry, Mr. Su will take care of this matter. He will definitely give Mr. Su a satisfactory answer. The result is here." Wang Qifeng said, patting his chest. (To be continued.
