After a pause, Wang Junlin asked Zhang Jinzhong: "What is this businessman dressed like?"
Zhang Jinzhong understood what his father-in-law meant and said quickly: "My father-in-law, they are dressed like ordinary businessmen in Fanyang County. They came with a carriage, and the person in the carriage never showed up."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "That's good. You can bring them in personally, drive the carriage directly in, and the people in the carriage should not show their faces, and then bring their principals here."
Zhang Jinzhong agreed and left quickly.
Not long after, the two principals sent by Yuan Taizuo were brought to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin looked at the two people, was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It has only been a few months, and the positions of the two masters and slaves have been reversed."
Before Wang Junlin left the capital, Yuan Taizuo had already sent a Liaodong businessman named Mao Haiming and his entourage to meet him in an attempt to take Yuan Gaisuwen away, but Wang Junlin said he had not actually obtained two islands.
And refused.
But this time it was none other than these two people, but this time Mao Haiming's escort became the principal, while Mao Haiming became the follower.
"To make Duke An of Qin laugh, the first general under the command of Prime Minister Xia Yuan, Jin Yibei, pays homage to Duke An of Qin." The speaker was in his thirties, tall and tall, with a glint in his eyes. At first glance, he was not an easy person. This man
The last time he met Mao Haiming as his escort, Wang Junlin felt that this person might be the person in charge. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"Thank you for your hard work coming from afar. Let's have a sip of tea first!"
Wang Junlin said casually.
Jin Yibei glanced at the maid serving them tea and saw that this girl was not particularly beautiful, but she was relatively beautiful for a maid. The most important thing was that this girl had a very unique temperament.
Jin Yibei looked at this maid and couldn't help but think about Qin An's great reputation and noble status in the Sui Dynasty, which could be seen from the tea maid.
Thinking like this, Jin Yibei and Mao Haiming each took a sip of hot tea. They had indeed come from afar and were a little thirsty now.
"I know the purpose of the two of you coming here is just to take your young master Yuan Gaisuwen back. This is no problem. After all, this is what I and Prime Minister Yuan have agreed upon, but this must wait until I send someone to officially take over.
And control the two agreed islands." Wang Junlin watched the two of them drink tea without warning, thinking whether his poisonous reputation was not poisonous enough, or maybe these two Goguryeo people were very simple, and they could handle it
Is it that simple for these two people?
Jin Yibei didn't know what Wang Junlin was thinking at this time, but because he had a negotiation experience, he was already prepared for what Wang Junlin said, and said: "This is natural, our Prime Minister has already prepared the two islands.
Duke An of Qin can send someone to take over at any time, and the two of us will lead the way."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is settled. In another month at most, I may be able to free up manpower to take over these two islands."
Jin Yibei obviously didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, but when he thought about what was originally agreed upon, it was impossible for Wang Junlin to default on the debt. He had already waited for more than a year, and it would be nothing to wait for another month.
Mao Haiming looked at each other and said, "Then please ask Mr. Qin An to help us take care of our young master for one more month."
Wang Junlin waved his hand and said: "Friendship is friendship, you will have to pay some compensation to take care of your young master for one more month."
Jin Yibei was stunned for a moment, thinking that this man was too arrogant in his work! He asked, "I wonder how much compensation Mr. Qin An wants. If the amount is too much, we don't have so much gold and silver with us."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "You don't need to pay gold or silver, just you two can do something for me."
Jin Yibei felt something bad in his heart, so he bit the bullet and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Qin An needs us to do?"
Wang Junlin looked at this man's face that was starting to turn slightly dark, and said with a smile: "Help me go to the ancestral home of the Lu family, a noble family in Fanyang County, to perform a play."
With his young master in the hands of Wang Junlin, how could Jin Yibei not know the current situation in Fanyang County? His face immediately darkened, and he vaguely understood what Wang Junlin wanted him to do. He frowned and said, "I cannot agree to this request."
Wang Junlin said: "But the problem is that it won't work if you don't agree!"
Jin Yibei was the number one master under Yuan Taizuo and was famous for his bravery in Goguryeo. He grabbed the handle of the sword with his right hand and gritted his teeth and said: "I know that we are in the mansion of Duke An of Qin. If Duke An of Qin is not good for us, it will be difficult for us to escape.
, but I really want to give it a try.”
As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but his body stumbled and he sat down on the stool again.
"Master Jin, what's wrong with your face?" Mao Haiming suddenly shouted from beside him.
Jin Yibei was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Mao Haiming, his face changed, and said: "Your face, you... are poisoned."
When Mao Haiming was reminded by Jin Yibei, his expression changed drastically, but he pointed at Jin Yibei and said, "Master Jin, you are also poisoned."
The two people's faces became extremely ugly, and they looked at the pretty maid standing on one side at the same time, with angry expressions and eyes that seemed to be cannibalistic, but the maid turned a blind eye to their gazes. She walked over and revealed what they had just said.
A black scorpion crawled out of the teapot they were pouring tea from.
Seeing this, Jin Yibei and Mao Haiming's expressions changed again. They scratched their throats and wanted to spit out the tea they drank, but how could they do so?
The little maid was naturally Shen Guoer. At this moment, she gently put the black scorpion into her sleeve, then looked at the two people and said lightly: "If you don't take the antidote within an hour, your whole body will rot and die."
Mao Haiming looked frightened and quickly said to Wang Junlin: "Qin An Gong, whatever you want me to do, I promise you."
After saying that, seeing Shen Guoer and Wang Junlin still looking at Jin Yibei, they said anxiously: "Master Jin, you are just dealing with the Lu family, not betraying the prime minister. This does not betray your oath."
Jin Yibei sighed and said: "Please give me Qin An's orders. I am willing to help Qin An go to the Lu family's ancestral house to perform a play."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Isn't that right? Guo'er, give them the antidote first to calm their shock!"
"Here!" Guo'er agreed, took out two white pills, handed one to each of them, and they quickly took them.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the blackness on their faces dissipated, and the two of them took a long breath. The experience just now was like walking away from the gate of hell.
Shen Guoer suddenly said: "This pill can only temporarily suppress the scorpion venom in your body. After you have done what our adults have told you, I will completely detoxify you."
