Zhao Gao only stayed in the courtyard for half an hour before leaving. When leaving, Qin Wei only handed him ten thousand taels of silver and ten dead men trained by Shi Luan.
How Zhao Gao builds the trap next is his business, Qin Wei just needs to wait.
After sending Zhao Gao away, Qin Wei arranged for people to help Li Shizhen collect books on alchemy and spiritual medicine. At the same time, he also set aside two rooms in the courtyard as a place for Li Shizhen to refine medicine.
However, Li Shizhen actually wanted to open a medical clinic in Shuzhou City. Qin Wei naturally had no objection and asked Xiao Shunzi to arrange a shop for him.
As for Shen Wansan, Qin Wei asked him to go find Li Ru.
At present, he does not own many industries, and the only weapons industry is still in its infancy. Shen Wansan happened to be here, so he will be temporarily responsible for this, so as to share some of the pressure on Li Ru.
The next morning.
Qi Chao arrived at Shuzhou City. He first delivered a greeting card to Qin Wei, and then pulled two carts of gifts to the gate of the courtyard where Qin Wei lived.
Under the leadership of Xiao Shunzi, he came to the main hall of the courtyard and met Qin Wei.
When he first met Qin Wei, his first impression was that he was young.
Now Qin Wei is only seventeen years old, his face is fair and delicate, and the beard on his chin is still downy, thin and soft.
"All servants come together to pay homage to His Highness!"
Qi Qi bowed and worshiped.
Qin Wei looked at him and couldn't help being surprised by his appearance and temperament.
"Eunuch Qi, please sit down!"
Qi Chao sat respectfully on the chair next to him, with his head bowed and his brows bowed, as if he was really a humble servant.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wei picked up the tea and took a sip as if nothing had happened.
"Eunuch Qi, why are you here?"
Although Qi Chao came to Shuzhou City as he wished, Qin Wei still doesn't know Qi Chao's thoughts and purposes.
He could force Qi Chao to come to Shuzhou City, but he could not force Qi Chao to surrender.
"His Highness has worked hard to quell the chaos in Shuzhou and has done a great job. The servant is incompetent and cannot help His Highness. However, the servant still has a small amount of money. I think Your Highness may need it, so I sent it to you!"
With that said, Qi Chao handed the gift list to Xiao Shunzi next to him, and Xiao Shunzi handed it to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei glanced at it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Good guy, this is really a generous move.
Qi Chao came with two carriages. Qin Wei originally thought that there were not many things, but he never expected that there were many things hidden in these two carriages.
First of all, it’s silver. Two carriages can’t hold much silver, but they can hold banknotes!
There are also various miraculous elixirs, rare gems, and even two magical weapons.
Gee, he deserves to be the richest man in Shuzhou. This gift is really big enough.
It's a pity that Qin Wei doesn't want these things.
Maybe he lacks money, but he lacks even more ways to make money.
"I have accepted these miraculous elixirs and magical weapons, but let's forget about the money!"
Qin Wei put the gift list on the table and said calmly.
When Qi Chao heard this, not only did he feel relieved, but his heart trembled and he became a little worried.
"If your Highness needs anything, you can just say so. I will do my best," Qi Chao said.
Qin Wei looked at him with a smile, "Really?"
"I dare not deceive Your Highness!" Qi Chao said.
Qi Chao was ready to be brutally killed today. Even if Qin Wei asked for three to five million taels of silver, he would grit his teeth and take it out.
And what he wanted was for Qin Wei to stop thinking about him.
Although it was not brave enough to do this, he had to do it.
Losing money and eliminating disaster is the simplest and easiest thing for him.
Qin Wei put down the tea, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "I need talents like Eunuch Qi by my side."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Chao froze.
He looked at Qin Wei blankly, his eyes filled with incredible colors, as if what Qin Wei said was nonsense.
"Why don't you make a joke, Your Highness? Your Majesty's servants are your servants!"
He said in a low voice.
"Really? If Grandpa Huang knew that you had created such a family business in Shuzhou, I wonder what he would think?" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"If your Majesty wants it, I am willing to give you all my family wealth." Qi Chao's face no longer had the respect before, and became extremely cold.
Are you kidding me? If you want money, I will give you more if you bite the bullet.
But you actually want me, a servant who belongs to His Majesty!
Qin Wei leaned on the chair, "Maybe Grandpa Huang will kill you!"
Qi Chao's face changed slightly, and the coldness in his eyes became stronger.
As a eunuch, his life and death are just a word from Emperor Li. Even if he has a fortune, he is still just a slave.
His life doesn't belong to him, let alone these wealth?
As for whether Emperor Li would kill him, he didn't dare to bet.
Gambling with your own life?
Unless he's crazy.
"What exactly does Your Highness want?" He said slowly.
Qin Wei smiled and drank tea calmly.
"Nowadays, rats can starve to death in the warehouses of Shuzhou Chief Secretary and Dusi Yamen. Eunuch Qi, what do you think this king wants?"
"If it's just money, I can give you five million taels of silver," Qi Chao said.
Qin Wei shook his head and said: "You still don't understand. What I want is not just money, I want the property in your hands."
"I want you, including everything you own!"
"Your Highness, are you being too domineering?" Qi Chao's expression was cold, and it was clear that he had reached the point where he could not bear it anymore.
Qin Wei said: "You don't have to count on Eunuch Luo. He is already at his age. It's better not to get involved randomly, otherwise it will be bad if he dies accidentally!"
"As for the others, well, they are all in Kyoto, and water from afar cannot quench their thirst nearby."
"Unless you can get Grandpa Huang to speak, I will decide your property!"
"Either you die, and I will only get money, or if you don't die, I will get both people and wealth."
Coercion and inducement.
Now Qin Wei is intimidating Qi Dynasty, just to make Qi Dynasty understand that Shuzhou is his decision, and Qi Dynasty has to give him whatever he wants.
As for inducements, well, this is of no use, because the Qi Dynasty has more money than him, the prince, and other Qin Wei cannot give it to him.
So Qin Wei could only force him to death, forcing him to surrender.
And would the Qi Dynasty rather die than surrender?
Qi Chao was extremely angry, and he had already begun to curse his mother in his heart.
Straight bitch!
Despicable kid, so greedy!
But besides being angry, he also felt very powerless.
This is what he fears most about Qin Wei.
Even if most people do something like this to seize someone's property, they will cover it up a bit, or at least they won't say it to their face.
But Qin Wei not only said it face to face, but also threatened people in such a bad way, which was simply outrageous!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
In just one breath, he had already made a decision.
"If Your Highness wants it, I can't refuse it. I am willing to give it to Your Highness with the property of Long'an Mansion. However, I am the guarding eunuch of Long'an Mansion after all. Please forgive me for not being able to serve Your Highness!"
He is prepared to survive with short tail, so that he can make money again if he has no money. With his ability and status, even if he loses all his property, he can still enjoy wealth and glory.
Qin Wei stared at him, playing with the white jade tea bowl in his hand.
He had to admire Qi Chao's decisiveness and astuteness in making such an important decision in such a short period of time.
When ordinary people face such a choice, they may hesitate, or even get carried away by anger and unwillingness.
But Qi Chao not only did not do it, but instead chose to short-tail to survive.
"Eunuch Qi, you probably don't understand what I mean." Qin Wei said slowly.
"Your Highness, this servant has made the greatest concession." Qi Chao glared at him.
Qin Wei didn't speak, he glanced at Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi understood immediately, walked to the main hall door and summoned Fire Cloud Evil God in.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" Fire Cloud Evil God first bowed his hands to Qin Wei, and then showed a strange smile to Qi Chao.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "From now on, you will follow Eunuch Qi every step of the way. If he dares to do anything untoward, you can kill him directly."
"Here!"
Fire Cloud Evil God grinned.
Targeting people is easy.
Before in Xinning Mansion, he had been keeping an eye on Liu Qing, but now he was watching Qi Chao again.
Although this task was a bit boring, it was easy and he still liked it.
When Qi Chao heard this, his face instantly turned extremely dark.
Threat, blatant and naked threat!
"Fire Cloud Evil God, no one in the world can defeat him. I heard that you have many ninth-level warriors under your command. You can try to see if you can kill him. If you can, then I will give you a chance to live.
Qin Wei said with a smile.
With his handsome face and gentle words, if he ignored the content of his words, Qi Chao might think that he was a harmless young man.
However, the Qi Dynasty now felt that Qin Wei was extremely evil, not only evil, but also very cruel.
"Stay in Shuzhou City for two days, and I will arrange for someone to go to Long'an Mansion to take over your property!" Qin Wei took a sip of tea.
"Eunuch Qi, please!"
Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward to see the guest off.
Qi Chao stared at Qin Wei, then closed his eyes slightly, then turned and walked towards the door.
He knew very well that it was useless to say anything now. Qin Wei had blocked all his roads and left only one path for him.
He has lost all options.
Maybe he should regret that he shouldn't have come.
Unfortunately, he knows that regret is of no use.
"People have to take a long-term view. When you take a long-term view, you will find that the benefits in front of you are really nothing."
Qin Wei's words rang out again and reached Qi Chao's ears.
Qi Chao, who had just stepped out of the main hall door, paused, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
Then his whole body couldn't help but tremble!
What did he think of?
He turned back to look at Qin Wei in disbelief.
In the main hall, Qin Wei was sitting on the main seat, holding tea and tasting it slowly and leisurely. His calm and contented look made him feel extremely horrified.
But then his expression turned bitter again.
There are some things that you really can't hide from even if you want to, and you can't escape even if you want to escape.
