Chapter 290 Pressure the shopkeeper, soldier Wanjiang
Chapter 290: Pressure on the shopkeeper, thousands of soldiers
"Sir, are you ready for some rest? I am the innkeeper. I have something to ask you, sir..."
The same formula, the same taste, even the conversational words are no different! Shen Tang stroked his forehead, firstly he was a little surprised by the power of Gao Cunfu's subordinates, and secondly, he was speechless at their inability to adapt.
"Come in!" Shen Tang shook his head and said helplessly.
The door opened, and sure enough, the innkeeper carefully came in.
"I'm here to pay my respects to Master Shen. My master has something to say, please let me pass it on to you!" the shopkeeper said respectfully.
"Say it!"
"My master admires Mr. Shen very much and is looking forward to the cooperation between the two parties. Therefore, in order to show his sincerity, my master agrees to all three conditions of Mr. Shen! However, I also hope that Mr. Shen will not break his promise with my master. .”
"Don't talk about the Jin Kingdom, even in the far north, we still have a lot of manpower..."
A cold light flashed in Shen Tang's eyes, "Are you threatening me? I don't know, are these your words or Gao Cunfu's?"
"this……"
"Do you think that I am begging you to cooperate again? Unfortunately, it is quite the opposite. Since you are worried about my return, let's drop this matter! I have never heard Gao Cunfu's name, and you have never looked for me..."
Shen Tang's words made the shopkeeper's expression change drastically. Those words were indeed his own thoughts, but Gao Cunfu also secretly named some of them in his letter. However, none of them had ever thought that Shen Tang would be such a childish person about this cooperation. , give up when you say give up? How should he explain this? He can guarantee that if this cooperation really fails because of him, Gao Cunfu will definitely leave a deep impression on him.
Moreover, when did the Southerners become so tough on the Jin people?
"My lord, please forgive me. Please forgive me!" He didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly begged Shen Tang for forgiveness. However, Shen Tang just looked at him coldly, but did not speak.
After a while, he saw that Shen Tang still had no intention of speaking, so he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, please forgive me, this time it has nothing to do with my master. It was all the villain who made the decision on his own, which is why I misunderstood you. The villain has nothing to offer, but he has nothing to do with it." I am under the command of my master to control the news channels in the east and west of Hebei Province. As long as the adults need it, I will not let you down. Please forgive me this time."
He had no choice but to misjudge Shen Tang's character, and he couldn't bear the failure of this cooperation. Therefore, he could only compromise with Shen Tang!
Shen Tang sneered again, "Humph, since I promised you, I, Shen Tang, will naturally act in accordance with the agreement. This is the first time, I don't care whether it is your intention or Gao Cunfu's. If it happens again, not only will the cooperation be severed, You have to believe that even if Gao Cunfu is hiding in Shangjing, I can make him regret it!"
"I will leave a team of men and horses tomorrow. The horses will be in my hands before the peace talks. In addition, I will also send people to contact you to discuss future business purchases. As for the third condition, you leave it to me. If you need a token, I will naturally contact you."
The shopkeeper dared to say more, but even took out a palm-sized square purple jade from his arms and handed it to Shen Tang!
"Master Shen, this is a token we specially prepared for you. If you need to summon us, you only need to find a way to draw the sword shape in this jade pendant on the door of the place where you live, and someone from us will naturally go to meet you. .At that time, we only need to show the token, and we will follow your instructions."
After finishing speaking, he took out a black iron plate and handed it to Shen Tang, "Sir, this is the villain's identity plate. If you have instructions, you only need to have someone come with this plate to deliver the message..."
After looking at the long sword engraved in the jade pendant, Shen Tang nodded. Then, the shopkeeper turned around and left knowingly.
After the shopkeeper left, Shen Tang thought for a moment, then got up and walked towards the backyard. Although Wang Meng led his people to the inn, he also left several people behind to follow Shen Tang and others, firstly to protect Shen Tang and others. The second reason for people's safety is to wait for Shen Tang's summons at any time if there is something urgent.
There was a thatched hut next to the stable in the backyard. Shen Tang gently knocked on the door. After a few breaths, a soldier came out.
"grown ups!"
This man was one of the centurions under Wang Meng's command, named Wan Jiang. He was very reliable in his work, so he was arranged to follow Shen Tang.
"Thank you for your hard work!" The Shen family of Shen Tang would naturally not be reluctant to open a few more upper rooms. However, they could not defeat these soldiers and could only make them stay in the hut. Moreover, the horses of Shen Tang and others They are all good horses, but they do need someone to look after them.
"Thank you, sir!" Wan Jiang's face showed a bit of gratitude. They were just the most ordinary soldiers. On weekdays, when facing those scholars, they would unconsciously feel inferior. And most of those people looked down upon them. They are rough men. However, Shen Tang is different. The number one scholar almost regards them as brothers, and he has been very good to them along the way. If you ask your brothers, which one of them does not respect Lord Shen?
"Wan Jiang, I have something to ask General Wang, so I need you to make a hard trip!"
"I'll go immediately!"
Wan Jiang bowed, and then hurriedly left the inn to find Wang Meng.
Shen Tang returned to the house and waited. About half an hour later, Wang Meng's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, Wang Meng wants to see you!"
Shen Tang opened the door and let Wang Meng enter the room.
"General Wang, I have something I want to find some brothers to do. This matter is particularly important. It requires not only courage, but also inspiration. Of course, the most important thing is reliability. I wonder if General Wang has anyone he can recommend?"
When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately chuckled and said: "My lord, what do you think of Wan Jiang? He is a close confidant of Prime Minister Zhang and has followed Prime Minister Zhang for many years. This time it is also to protect your lord, so Prime Minister Zhang ordered him to come with me. Moreover, this Wan Jiang seems dull and silent, but he is calm and resourceful. As long as you leave the matter to him, you will definitely not be disappointed."
Shen Tang was naturally very satisfied with Wan Jiang. Before, he just didn't know whether he was reliable, so he just called Wang Meng. Now, with Wang Meng's words, he naturally dispelled his last worries.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can ask Wan Jiang to come over. I'll give him instructions."
Wang Meng turned around and left, and after a while, he returned with Wan Jiang.
"Wan Jiang, I have an extremely important matter. General Wang recommended you. This matter is almost related to my fate in the future of the Song Dynasty, so I hope you can consider it carefully."
