"Haha! What did Mr. Liu say? This county is prosperous under your governance. How can it offend me?
I should learn from you!"
Shen Fengyun said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all. The town they were in was filled with mourners.
But the county town here is prosperous, with lights and colorful decorations on both sides of the streets, which shows how closely Liu Jie is colluding with the landlords and gentry in the city.
"Haha! Sir, that's a compliment! As an official of one parent, I naturally have to be responsible for the people of the other party. Only when the people are comfortable, I, as an official, will be comfortable!"
Liu Jie said with a smile.
Shen Fengyun no longer looked at him, but looked in the direction behind him. There were more than a dozen people in fine clothes standing there, who were the landlords and gentry in the county.
"Who are these people?"
Shen Fengyun asked.
"Haha! Lord Jinyiwei, we are the people of this city!"
The landowners and gentry hurriedly came forward and said with a smile.
"Oh! Are you the people in this city?
These clothes are better than those in the capital, not bad!"
Shen Fengyun said.
"Haha! Lord Jinyiwei is joking, we are no match for the people of the capital!"
The landowners and gentry laughed hurriedly.
Then, Shen Fengyun was invited to a restaurant. There were already hundreds of stunning women waiting there.
These women were all dressed up, and some of them had their clothes opened deliberately. When they saw Shen Fengyun, they hurriedly rushed towards her.
When Shen Fengyun saw these women throwing themselves into his arms, she did not dodge, but said with a smile: "Haha! Mr. Liu, your preparations are very thoughtful."
Seeing that Shen Fengyun did not refuse, Liu Jie and others felt relieved and immediately laughed and said: "Haha! Sir, you are joking, these are what we should do!"
Then, they called the Jin Yiwei to take their seats. Liu Jie offered Shen Fengyun more than a dozen glasses of wine, and then said, "Master Shen, why are you here this time?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just passed by here and saw a town where many victims died, so I came to take a look and ask Mr. Liu what the situation was like."
Shen Fengyun said directly.
When Liu Jie heard this, he asked doubtfully: "Huh?"
Mr. Shen, you mean that under my rule, there is a town with a large number of disaster victims?"
"This! Why didn't I know! It must be my subordinates who neglected their duties! They didn't tell me about such a big thing!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will prepare funds for disaster relief right now to help these victims get out of the sea of misery quickly!"
Shen Fengyun looked at Liu Jie's hard-working performance, but sneered in her heart, thinking, this kid's acting skills are really good, and he is still pretending to be like this at this time!
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, those victims have been properly placed by our Jinyi Guards. However, there is no way to explain such a thing under Mr. Liu's rule, right?"
Shen Fengyun asked in a deep voice.
this……
Liu Jie looked at the woman next to Shen Fengyun. The woman understood and hurriedly filled a glass of wine for Shen Fengyun Zhen and said softly: "Sir, let's drink."
When Shen Fengyun saw the wine being handed to her mouth, she didn't refuse it. She took it and drank it. Liu Jie then smiled and said: "Haha! Mr. Shen, this is indeed my dereliction of duty!"
"Let's do this. Lord Shen, I won't say anything to you about how to punish me!"
Having said this, Liu Jie paused and then said: "I heard that Mr. Shen was ordered to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief. He must have spent a lot of money on the way. If there is a shortage of money, I can think of a way for you!"
Then, he looked at the landlords and gentry present, who hurriedly said: "Yes! Master Liu is saying that we all have some money!"
"If Master Jin Yiwei needs you, we will be obliged to do so!"
"Sir Jinyiwei, although we don't have much family property, it's not a problem to come up with hundreds of thousands taels. As long as you say this, we will collect the money now."
The landlords and gentry directly revealed their trump cards, but Shen Fengyun sneered in her heart, these people were planning to buy him off with a lot of money!
It's a pity that they misjudged themselves. As a member of the Imperial Guard, how could they let down His Highness the Crown Prince's trust in them just because of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?
"Haha! I am very moved after hearing what you said. To be honest, I am indeed short of money now. To tell you the truth, I have spent all the money I had to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief..."
Shen Fengyun said, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
When Liu Jie saw that his opportunity had come, he immediately smiled and said: "Haha! Mr. Shen, as colleagues, we naturally have to help one or two when we are in trouble."
"How much silver is missing? Tell me the number."
Shen Fengyun said directly: "This time when I went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, His Royal Highness the Prince gave me two million Ming coins, and I spent them all this time. If I want to continue to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, I must at least have this amount!"
As he said that, Shen Fengyun raised four fingers, which meant four million Ming coins.
Shen Fengyun and a group of landlords and gentry were dumbfounded at that time. His Highness the Crown Prince gave you two million Ming coins for disaster relief, but you actually asked us for four million Ming coins?
Do you think we are wealthy?
Even if we have something in your hands, we can't let you control it like this!
"Haha! Mr. Shen, you are kidding me. His Highness the Crown Prince spent two million Ming coins on disaster relief. How come the number is so much higher when it comes to you?"
Liu Jie said with a smile.
"Alas! You don't know something. When I got there, even if it was not enough for the two million Ming Dynasty coins, there is a saying that His Highness the Crown Prince gave me less!"
"Now, I have spent all the money and delayed it for such a long time. Two million is obviously not enough. At least four million Ming coins are needed to relieve the flood in Jiangnan!"
Shen Fengyun said with an embarrassed look.
this……
Liu Jie and others were stunned, they just came to fight the local tycoons. However, what Shen Fengyun said is also true. Once there is a flood in Jiangnan, it cannot be solved by two million Ming coins.
"Master Shen, do you want us to collect four million Ming coins for you?"
Liu Jie asked in a deep voice.
"This...that's all it can do."
Shen Fengyun said in a deep voice.
Liu Jie did not refuse directly, but said with a smile: "Master Shen, let's drink first! Let's talk about the money tomorrow."
"Master Liu, we can't delay this matter. It's best to prepare it for me tomorrow so that I can leave here quickly and go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief!"
"Otherwise, if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out about this, I won't be able to save my head. By then, the swords in my brothers' hands will be stained with blood again!"
Shen Fengyun said in a deep voice, his words full of threats.
