Seeing Wei Zheng walking over, Li Mu suddenly had a bad idea in his head. He waved to Li Chongyi and whispered a few words in a low voice. Li Chongyi nodded and turned around to go to the back house.
At this time, Wei Zheng also walked to the entrance of the lobby. Li Mu immediately put on a smile and greeted him. Wei Zheng was not in such a good mood. After not seeing each other for a few days, Wei Zheng seemed to have aged a lot, with more wrinkles on his face, and he was more attractive.
He has lost a lot of weight and looks a bit skinny when he gets up close. It seems that the suffering of the past few days has really been a disaster for this old man who has just recovered from a serious illness.
Li Mu felt ashamed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted.
There is no question of whether he is ashamed or not in the matter between him and Wei Zheng. The two sides have different positions. If there is a chance, Li Mu has no doubt that Wei Zheng will kill him. On the other hand, if he has something to ask Wei Zheng, he will
This old guy's character is such that he will definitely not help.
Look at yourself again, you are still willing to help him, how generous you are. It’s just a small amount of money, is it too much?
When you do things for others, you can't do it yourself. It's reasonable to use your money to do your own things!
Li Mu kindly extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Wei Zheng. After all, Wei Zheng was still not used to this new etiquette "invented" by Li Mu. Instead of extending his hand, he put his hand behind his back, which made Li Mu feel embarrassed.
If it had been in the past, Li Mu would have had to have a few words with him. But today, people may come to give money. How can he not respect the God of Wealth in person? Even if he wants to get angry, he has to wait until he refuses. The matter is undecided.
Before, it was better to greet everyone with a smile.
Wei Zheng got straight to the point and said: "Li Mu, I agree to your conditions..."
"Wait!" When Li Mu heard the word 'agree', he felt confident and interrupted Wei Zheng. He waved to Zhao Youcai, who turned around and walked out. Wei Zheng understood that Li Mu was afraid that the news would leak out, so he said
Although he didn't say it, he secretly praised him in his heart. He is so cautious at such a young age, which is indeed extraordinary.
When he was about to speak again, Li Mu said first, "Mr. Wei, this is not the place to talk. You come with me. There is an empty room in the backyard, and there are no guests in the house. We are not afraid of being overheard, so it is suitable for conversation."
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Very good."
After saying that, he followed Li Mu and followed him to a side room. Li Mu carefully looked around to make sure no servants or maids were walking around, then opened the door and invited Wei Zheng in.
Meanwhile, next door.
Liu Shenwei had just used acupuncture to wake up Ju Zhisheng from coma, and was about to cry out in pain when he was frightened by Li Chongyi's sentence that loud noises were not allowed in the Marquis's house. He covered his head with a quilt and moaned in a low voice.
No one paid attention to him in the room, and it was quiet. Suddenly, a conversation came from next door.
"Wei Gong, you can speak now."
Wei Zheng said straightforwardly: "Li Mu, I agree to your request. If you want one hundred thousand guan, I will give you 50,000 guan first. After the thing is done, I will give you the remaining half. I will definitely not agree to this.
Break your promise."
Li Mu was not polite and sneered: "Mr. Wei, this is your fault. You don't do business like this!"
Wei Zhengyin suppressed his anger and said: "What do you mean? I have already agreed to your request, but you are still not satisfied? I will give you half first, and then I will give you half after everything is done. It is very reasonable. Even when doing business, isn't there a deposit?
?”
"Ha! Of course, there is a deposit when doing business, but it also has to be divided. A poor man came to me to do a business of 10,000 yuan, and I asked him to pay a deposit and take the goods away? Then wouldn't I be a fool?
To put it bluntly, Duke Wei’s reputation is good, but in terms of money, who doesn’t know what your situation is like, Wei Zheng?”
"You give me 50,000 yuan, and I'll help you get the job done. What if you don't give me the remaining 50,000 yuan? Even if I rob your house, I probably won't be able to sell it for a fraction of a cent!"
In the next room, Ju Zhisheng heard clearly. Wei Zheng! It turned out to be Wei Zheng!
Before coming to Chang'an, Ju's father and his son got to know all the eloquent people in the Tang Dynasty through various channels. Wei Zheng's name had long been known to them. Everyone said that when it comes to holy family members, there is no eldest grandson.
Ji was the number one person, but if he had any influence over Li Shimin, it was Wei Zheng. Changsun Wuji was afraid that he would have to lag behind, because only Wei Zheng dared to refute the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty face to face and go against him.
This time Gaochang asked for help, Wei Zheng was listed as the top three targets.
Does such an important minister actually ask Zhuluhou to do something? And it’s not just about face, it’s about hundreds of thousands of real money!
One hundred thousand guan! This is not a small amount of money. Even with Gaochang's wealth, it cannot be easily taken out. According to rumors, Wei Zheng is an honest man, but now it seems that the rumors do not seem to be credible. What makes Ju Zhisheng even more stunned is Li Mu
His attitude was such that he wouldn't give in at all, not even giving him half first and half later. What on earth did he have to rely on to dare to speak so loudly?
Thinking of this, Ju Zhisheng got out of the quilt. He didn't care whether his buttocks hurt or not, and raised his ears to listen.
"...If I don't quarrel with you, it doesn't matter if you can't trust me. Then how can I trust you? If I give you a hundred thousand yuan and you don't do anything, wouldn't I suffer a great loss?"
Li Mu was silent for a while, and seemed to agree with Wei Zheng's words, but in the end he refused to let go, saying: "It's normal for no one to trust this kind of one-shot deal. But don't forget, Mr. Wei, I'm not in a hurry. With you like this
I don't have much more than one hundred thousand guan, and I don't have much without your 100,000 guan. To put it bluntly, I don't need this little money. But Mr. Wei, if you are not in a hurry, do you have the trouble to speak to my enemy?"
"You!" Wei Zheng was so angry that his eyes almost bulged out.
"But then again, I'm not an unreasonable person. It's normal for Mr. Wei to have doubts in his heart. So, I can agree to do whatever you say, but," Li Mu paused, looked at Wei Zheng, and smiled.
Fei smiled and said: "Wei Gong has to leave an IOU no matter what. If you really cheat and refuse to pay me in the future, I will take the IOU and file a lawsuit."
Wei Zheng immediately jumped up and became furious, saying: "Li Mu, don't go too far. How can I write you an IOU for this kind of thing?"
"Oh," Li Mu retorted, "Wei Gong also knows that this is a shameful thing, right? If you don't want to write it, well, if you pay one hundred thousand guan in one lump sum, you'll be done with it if you lose a penny!"
"you……"
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, but did not dare to break out. He had already made up his mind to agree to give the money, but in fact he had already given in. It further showed that he had to do this, and there was no room for turning back. Li Mu saw this, so he dared
It's so excessive that I don't worry at all that Wei Zheng will fall out.
As for whether he would seek opportunities to retaliate in the future, Li Mu never thought about it. Even if he helped him without asking for anything in return this time, would he not stumble?
Enemies are enemies, and as long as the fundamental positions of both parties do not change, this fact will not change. Li Mu was not that naive in his two lives. He would not give in at all when he shouldn't.
After a long time, Wei Zheng finally sighed and said: "Okay, pay it all in one lump sum. Just tell me where to send the money!"
"Refreshing!" Li Mu praised and said: "Excuse me, should the bill of one hundred thousand guan be paid in gold and silver, or in copper coins? If it is gold and silver, 100,000 guan is not much, and it does not take up much space. It can be sent to the house. But.
If it's copper coins, the warehouse in my house is full. You can find someone to send it to the Ministry of Works. It just so happens that the Ministry of Works is about to pay monthly salary to the craftsmen, so there is a shortage of copper coins."
"Half gold, silver, and copper coins will be sent to the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon. You can find a cashier and wait there. Don't say that the money is not enough when the money is given to you!"
After that, Wei Zheng seemed to not want to stay any longer, so he stood up and left.
Li Mu put on a smile again and chased after him: "Wei Gong is leaving now? Why don't you stay a little longer? We are about to have lunch, why not stay for a drink? Oh, Wei Gong, why do you keep talking about leaving?
The faster you go, there is a threshold in front of you, so be careful not to fall."
Li Mu stood at the door of the wing, watching Wei Zheng trot out, with a smile on his lips.
The feeling of accepting Wei Zheng's bribe is so beautiful that it's hard to describe. It's just a feeling that makes all the pores in the body feel refreshed. It's wonderful and wonderful.
Li Mu watched Wei Zheng's figure disappear, turned around and went to the next door. As soon as he entered the room, he started shouting: "Is the Crown Prince awake? It's dinner time. I have to have two drinks with the Crown Prince to communicate our feelings, Crown Prince?"
Li Mu stepped into the inner room and saw Ju Zhisheng lying on the bed. He was overjoyed and said: "The prince is indeed as strong as an ox and recovers quickly. Looking at his complexion, he will definitely be back to his original state in less than three days."
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when he said 'ding Neng', the word 'ding' accentuated his accent. 'Ding' is connected with '腚'. Ju Zhisheng was injured in the back of his buttocks. Hearing this word, he couldn't help but think more about it.
But he didn't dare to show it.
Before hearing the conversation just now, Ju Zhisheng might have despised Li Mu, but after hearing the conversation just now, he did not dare to look down upon Li Mu anymore. This is a person that Wei Zheng would even bribe. How powerful is he? Needless to say?
Ju Zhisheng asked himself that he would become a hero sooner or later. Looking at the people who could be called 'heroes' in the past, there was one thing they had to do, that is, they could afford to take it and let it go. There was no dispute between him and Li Mu. The only thing
One thing is because of Zhang Tianai's incident.
But in Ju Zhisheng's eyes, Zhang Tianai didn't take her seriously at all. How could a man be troubled by the love between his children? He didn't care about this.
Then there's the matter of going to jail.
It sounds like this incident happened because of Li Mu, but when you think about it carefully, it has nothing to do with him. He didn't send those guards, so it's not his fault. As for the trauma on the posterior thigh, it has nothing to do with him.
It was Usman who did it, and it has nothing to do with Li Mu.
Thinking of this, Ju Zhisheng comforted himself enough, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Thank you for your good words, I hope so."
"This is a certain thing!" Li Mu fully affirmed, sat on the edge of the bed, held Ju Zhisheng's hand, as if treating his own brother, and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't take this matter to heart, I will humiliate you.
Man, I have already ordered someone to kill him. Not only did he kill him, I also ordered him to be chopped into pieces and fed to the dog. I am afraid that he is already in the dog’s belly by now, so don’t worry.”
