"Sir, your asking price is really too high. Fenghui Bank cannot raise so much money. I cannot accept this condition." Liao Baican replied indifferently.
"How about compared with the previous conditions? Is my current condition reasonable?"
Liao Baican's expression was ugly, and he thought about the impossible conditions before. In comparison, although these three million taels of silver were extremely large, they were at least within the scope of human imagination.
Thinking of this, Liao Baican couldn't help but secretly cursed this man for being treacherous.
If there was no previous foreshadowing, if Xia Shang wanted to add three million taels of silver at this time, Liao Baishen would definitely be furious, thinking that this was an impossible transaction.
But compared with the previous conditions, the price of three million taels is obviously much more reasonable.
Liao Baishen's inner changes were all under Xia Shang's observation. He paused and continued: "After these three million taels, even if you completely cut off the relationship with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as long as I still serve as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for one day
, I will never trouble you again. Moreover, I can also help you resolve the misunderstanding between you and King Yong, and ensure that King Yong will not embarrass Fenghui Bank again. As for the three million taels you said is too much, there is no way
There is no need to worry about raising enough money. As long as you can pay the more than one million taels that should have been given to King Yong within half a year, the remaining silver will be treated as the notes of my Xia family deposited in Fenghui Bank. In a short time,
, I won’t take it out either.”
Liao Baican was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Today I have completely surrendered. Since the Lord has given the conditions, I have to agree even if I don't agree."
"Yu Ji."
Yu Ji, who came unhurriedly from below, happened to hear Xia Shang's voice and responded hurriedly.
"My subordinate is here."
"Please follow Mr. Liao to Fenghui Bank to issue a banknote of 1.5 million taels and come back."
"As commanded."
The confused Yu Ji didn't know what was going on. She looked at the current situation and guessed that the matter might have come to an end. Without saying much, she said to Liao Baishen: "Mr. Liao, please."
Liao Baican was reluctant at first, but there was nothing she could do about it at this point. He sighed and said to his coachman: "Take her back to issue a ticket."
The coachman took Yu Ji downstairs.
"Sir, I have agreed to all your requests. As for the matter about King Yong..."
"Let's talk inside." Xia Shang motioned to Liao Baican to go into the house.
The two of them re-entered the house and closed the door.
There are some things that Xia Shang can say freely, but there are some things that more people cannot know.
There were only Yu Nu and Nie Shisan outside. Nie Shisan knew that Master Xia did not want him to hear their conversation, because with his insight, he could not hear clearly what the two people inside said. It was obviously Xia Shang's deliberate decision.
Nie Shisan was not surprised by this. He didn't want to find out anything.
He was the person arranged by the emperor to supervise Xia and Shang, but he was also a person who was afraid of trouble. It was good not to know some secrets, and knowing too much would be a trouble, so he was content to be kept in the dark.
middle.
"I have a treasure that can resolve the grievances between you and King Yong. I promise that I will never fight against Fenghui Bank again."
"What kind of treasure?"
"You don't need me to know about this. But you must promise that after I give you the treasure, you cannot see it in private. Once you know what the treasure is, the treasure will lose its meaning. And you cannot let anyone
People know where you got this thing from, otherwise it will lose its meaning."
In the room, Liao Baican fell into deep thought again.
What exactly does this kid mean? Is the baby so magical? Or is it a mystery? Or is there some unknown secret in it?
Liao Baican didn't speak for a long time, thinking about all the possibilities.
The other party's behavior was already expected by Xia Shang. Xia Shang was still not in a hurry. He waited for a while and waited until Liao Baican had enough time to think before explaining: "In fact, you have no choice in this matter. I can
It is your choice to give the baby to you, whether to watch it or not. You also understand that these two choices will have different consequences. Based on your experience, it should not be difficult to judge which choice is more risky. As for why I want to
You don't let anyone know the origin of the baby, naturally because the origin of the baby cannot be seen in the light. Once people know that I gave it to you, not only will I be implicated, but you will also not be easy. This is a lose-lose situation.
The result is very unwise. As for whether you are worried about whether there is a conspiracy involved? There is no need to worry about it. Because if I want to plot against you, I can do it now."
Xia Shang paused: "What I said before, if Yu Slave leaves with you, you will be killed is not a joke. You have your own methods, and I have mine. If I really want to kill you, you don't have any
Opportunity to get closer to me.”
Liao Baican narrowed his eyes, feeling a hint of pressure from this boy's plain words.
"Baby give it
I, I know what to do." Liao Baican said in a low voice.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get it right away?"
"Could it be that the treasure you mentioned is actually placed here?"
Xia Shang didn't answer, opened the door and left.
After walking out of the room, Xia Shang prepared to go to the top floor.
There is only one person on the roof of Yunxiang Building, and only one of the same number of rooms as downstairs is occupied. It is obviously less popular.
However, the smell here is very familiar. It is the faint smell of Ruo Chujian's body, with a body fragrance similar to that of osmanthus. It is easy to find Ruo Chujian's room by looking for this scent.
Xia Shang knocked on the door, and Ruo Chujian's faint voice came from inside: "No need to call me, I have no appetite, I won't eat."
"Open the door, it's me."
After a while, the door opened, and the first person he saw was still wearing thin clothes. He lowered his eyebrows and nodded, and said softly: "Master, why is it you?"
The voice was soft, but lacked the excitement from before.
Xia Shang looked at her thin shawl, stepped behind it, and gently touched the cold and delicate shoulders: "Add more clothes."
As he spoke, Xia Shang walked in.
It has been nearly half a year since Xia Shang last came here. The furnishings inside are very simple, but have a bookish aroma. There are pianos, chess, bookcases, tea tables, and some dressing tables, screens, curtains, etc. that women should have.
, elegant and clean.
Xia Shang entered the house and looked around, not knowing what he was looking for.
Ruo Chujian chased after him: "Sir, what are you looking for?"
"Where are the things I gave you in Suzhou?"
"Huh?" If you didn't react when you first saw him.
At this time, Xia Shang had already reached the bookcase and stopped.
When Ruo Chu met him, he quickly ran over and stood in front of Xia Shang, as if he wanted to hide something.
Xia Shang frowned slightly: "What are you doing? Sneaky..."
"Sir, didn't...I didn't do anything?"
"Then why are you so secretive? Is there another man hiding in here?"
"Young Master!" Chu Jian stamped his feet angrily, and in order to prove himself, he stepped aside, "Since Young Master wants to watch, then just watch as much as you can."
