Chapter 612: Aoto and Sakamoto Ryoma, the white wolf with nothing to show for it!45
quiet……
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
Whether it was Takeshi Hanheita on the main seat or the Qinwang Party members on the left and right sides, all of them had their faces changed.
Did I hear that right? They looked like this.
You are right - they looked at Qingden like this.
In this world where the drop of a needle can be heard, the person who produced the first sentence was a thin man with a poor face:
"Nioh-sama, you... you are not kidding us, are you?"
"Since I can say this, I naturally have the determination and ability to fulfill my promise."
Qingdeng's calm voice contained a calm and firm tone, making people unable to help but want to believe every word he said.
For a time, the scene was filled with excitement and excitement.
The sound of "hissing" and the rapid "whooshing" breathing were heard together.
Perhaps the reaction of his subordinates was too much like that of Grandma Liu who walked into the Grand View Garden. Wu Shi Banping squinted his eyes, looking helplessly and dissatisfied at his subordinates.
Of course, he was helpless and dissatisfied. Takeshi Hanheita was not angry because his subordinates looked embarrassing.
After all, he could understand their current mood very well.
To put it bluntly... most of the members of Tosa Kin's party are country bumpkins who have never seen much of the world.
The low social class not only limits their ability to receive education, but also limits their horizons.
Although Wu Shi Hanping Tai, who "one man has achieved enlightenment", has made all the "chickens and dogs" of the King Qin Party have their dreams, but knowledge and experience cannot be made up for in a short period of time.
In the eyes of these Baizha villagers who are accustomed to living a hard life, even one tael of gold is considered a huge amount of money.
100,000 taels of gold...this...this...
Not to mention a small organization of several hundred people like the Tosa Kinou Party.
Even for large feudal lords like Satsuma and Choshu, 100,000 taels of gold is a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored!
Such a large sum of money is enough to create an elite force of thousands of people armed to the teeth!
Therefore, Wushi Hanpingtai, who has seen the big world, can't help but be shocked by these numbers.
After a brief period of daze and astonishment, Wu Shi Hanping Tai's expression returned to calmness.
He pursed his lips and stared at the paper in his hand, thinking deeply.
After about half a minute, he casually put the note to his knees.
"Lord Nioh, your idea is too good, isn't it?"
He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an arc of unclear emotion.
"With no deposit, mortgage, or reliable guarantor, you just want to get nothing with a piece of flimsy paper?"
"If after three years, you fail to fulfill your promise, not only do you fail to deliver 100,000 taels of gold to me on time and in the right amount, but you are also unwilling to acknowledge this note, what should I do then?"
"You are the dignified envoy of Gyeonggi Town."
"And I'm a country boy worth nothing."
"If you default on your debt, I won't be able to fight back."
When saying these words, Takeshi Hanpingta specially put on a joking tone.
However, although his tone was joking, his eyes were serious.
In the blink of an eye, a series of deep gazes fell on Qingdeng from the left and right sides.
The heavy weight of "100,000 taels of gold" put their brains into "downtime" mode. It was not until they heard these words from Takeshi Hanpingtai that the Qinwang Party members here suddenly regained their sense of clarity.
That's right! With no mortgage, no deposit, and no trustworthy guarantor, you just rely on a piece of paper and the touch of two lips, and you want to prostitute us for free?
Debt collection has been a troublesome matter since ancient times.
Based on Qingteng's status, if nothing unexpected happens, if he wants to default on his debt, Takeshi Hanheita and others will really have no way to deal with it.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qingdeng's expression remained the same, neither panic nor confusion.
As soon as Wushi Hanpingta finished speaking, he smiled reservedly:
"Mr. Wu Shi, what you said is true."
"To be honest, my money is very tight right now and I can't come up with a sizable deposit or collateral at all."
"As for a guarantor that both you and I can trust, I can't even find one."
"but--"
As his topic suddenly changed, everyone in the audience, including Takeshi Hanheita, unconsciously straightened their backs, cheered up, and listened attentively.
After deliberately pausing for a few breaths, Qingdeng changed into a sonorous and powerful tone and loudly said:
"I will use my honor as a guarantee! Within 3 years, I will deliver 100,000 taels of gold to the Tosa King Party without fail!"
"I will never break my promise! I swear by striking gold!"
After saying that, Qingden picked up Vairocana on the right side of his body, grabbed the sheath with his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, and held the knife across his chest.
With a click, he pulled out the blade, and then put it back into the sheath.
The clang of the sword and the scabbard hitting each other resounded inside and outside the hall and lingered for a long time.
Everyone in the audience looked at Qingdeng blankly.
For a moment, doubts came to Qingdeng:
"Rong, honor?"
"What are you doing! After working for a long time, you are still talking nonsense, just one mouth!"
"Lord Nioh, please forgive me! 'Honour' is not a convincing guarantee!"
Everyone’s doubts continued... Abruptly, Qingdeng took back the initiative with a loud shout:
"Other people's honors are naturally not worth mentioning! However, I am the benevolent king."
Speaking of this, Qingden paused and then repeated it in a solemn tone:
"I am the 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden."
"The honor of the 'Benevolent King' who helps those in need and mends the cracks in the sky with one hand can always be convincing, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
Even those who hate Qingdeng and hate Qingdeng have to admit that Qingdeng has a very good reputation and a very upright personal resume with almost no stains.
Since becoming an official, he has been fighting against all evil forces and doing practical things for the common people.
His "honor" indeed has a very high gold content.
Although it was a time of troubled times when order collapsed, the word "honor" still occupies a very important position in the spiritual world of warriors.
Qingdeng pledged his "honor" as a guarantee... This is already a serious statement.
Therefore, after Qingdeng made his impassioned speech, no one raised any questions.
After looking at each other for a while, they all turned to look at their leader.
"..."
A tense atmosphere instantly arose.
The person who created this atmosphere was naturally Takeichi Hanheita, who had been silent for a long time.
He frowned, his face neither sad nor happy, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.
"...Nioh-sama, it seems that you really appreciate Yataro Iwasaki."
"In ancient times, King Zhao of Yan bought horse bones for a thousand gold, but now Ju Qingdeng spends a hundred thousand gold."
"Now I'm a little curious about Yataro Iwasaki."
"What kind of person is it that makes you do this?"
Qingden spread his hands:
"Well...it's hard for me to explain it to you in just a few words. In short - Yataro Iwasaki is indeed worthy of me doing this for him."
"..."
Wu Shi Hanping Tai fell silent again.
As the silence continued to accumulate... finally, after about 15 seconds, Takeichi Hanheita let out a soft sigh.
"……All right."
"Since you have staked your honor, under such circumstances, if I continue to mother-in-law, it will appear that I am immoral."
As he said this, Wu Shi Banping straightened his back and said seriously:
"Lord Nioh, I will help you as quickly as possible! Please wait for the good news!"
There was a faint commotion in the whole place.
Someone is calm.
Some people are confused.
Some people are angry.
Although their expressions were all kinds of strange, Qingdeng no longer cared about them.
After smiling slightly, Qing Deng bowed lightly to Wu Shi Banping in front of him:
"That's it, you'll have a lot of work!"
…
…
Click, click, click, click...
After hearing the "click, click, click" sound of the door opening next to him, Iwasaki Yataro hurriedly turned his head to look.
