Chapter 269 Greedy and Loyal, the Size Is Really Right!

“But the money is a bit small, only 500,000 taels!”

Lin Beifan weighed the bank notes in his hand, and said with some distaste: “To be honest, I haven’t received such a small sum of money for a long time. I really have no motivation!”

The Daxia delegation was once again dumbfounded!

500,000 taels of silver is still too little?

You know, those officials who have been officials for a lifetime may not be able to earn 500,000 taels of silver!

However, when they thought of Great Wu’s official environment and Lin Beifan’s greedy nature, they were all relieved.

Looking at each other in dismay, Master Wang said, “Master Lin, how much do you want?”

Lin Beifan asked back: “How much ransom do you want to deduct?”

They looked at each other again, and Lord Wang stretched out a finger: “Is it okay if it’s less than 1 million taels?”

Lin Beifan sneered: “Do you think it’s possible?”

The Daxia delegation and others smiled bitterly, and they also thought it was impossible.

Lord Wang gritted his teeth, and still raised a finger: “Below 10 million taels, is it okay?”

Lin Beifan nodded: “This is more realistic!”

Master Wang cupped his hands and said joyfully, “Then leave it to Master Lin!”

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “As long as you give me 7 million taels, I will lower the ransom to 10 million taels!”

Daxia delegation: “Damn!”

Master Wang was shocked and said: “Master Lin, you want too much, please forgive me for being powerless!”

“A lot? Not much at all!” Lin Beifan shook his head and said very calmly: “You know, I have raised the ransom of 80 million taels to 10 million taels, saving you a full 70 million taels I only need 7,000,000 taels, what’s the matter? You only need to spend one price, 407 can save nine money, I’m already very conscientious!”

The Daxia delegation exploded with rage!

What a shameless lunatic, was the 70 million taels saved?

It was clearly blown out of your lion’s mouth!

Unnecessary silver taels!

And said he has a conscience?

Do you, a corrupt official, still have a conscience?

It’s all dark!

Feed it to the dogs, but the dogs won’t eat it!

“Lord Lin, you want too much, we can’t afford it!” Lord Wang said with suppressed anger.

Lin Beifan shook his head: “That’s your business, anyway, my condition is there! Either pay 80 million taels of ransom to the court, or pay 10 million taels of ransom to the court, and 700 taels of silver to the official, and the rest is out of the question! “

“Lord Lin, are you not afraid that we will report to Empress Great Wu about your embezzlement and bribery?” A person threatened.

Lin Beifan sneered: “You can sue as you please! Do you think His Majesty believes in the ministers of the enemy country, or in me, a loyal and brave uncle who has repeatedly made great contributions to the court?”

The Daxia delegation was speechless.

This guy is really greedy and loyal!

Be very greedy when you should be greedy!

Be very loyal when you should be loyal!

The size is very precise, so as not to leave any openings for others!

Lin Beifan took a sip of tea calmly: “I was threatened just now, and I’m very unhappy. Add another one million taels!”

The face of the Daxia delegation turned green: “Fuck!”

After drinking the tea, Lin Beifan stood up: “Think it over carefully, and then go to the official! By the way, I forgot to remind you that if this matter is not resolved, the prince’s affairs will not be discussed. Let me go!”

Lin Beifan left in a cool way, leaving behind the members of the Daxia delegation, their faces turning red and green.

“My lords, what should I do now?” The corners of Lord Wang’s mouth were bitter.

“This Lin Beifan is too greedy! According to what he said, we have to pay 18 million taels. The price is too high! If our treasury withdraws so much silver taels, it will definitely hurt our bones!”

“But if you don’t give money, this matter will never end!”

“Your Majesty is urging us, the entire Daxia people are watching us, what can we do?”

“Besides, if this matter is not resolved, there is no way to discuss the matter of His Royal Highness!”

“The pressure is too great!”

……

Everyone sighed, hating a certain money-grubbing bastard to death.

“Forget it! Let’s talk to His Majesty first and find out what he has to say! If it really doesn’t work, this part of the silver…” Mr. Wang gritted his teeth: “Let’s get it together!”

Everyone turned pale with shock: “Master Wang, you…”

Lord Wang sighed: “My lords, if your Highness cannot be rescued every day, you will be in danger for another day! Now that the situation in the court is turbulent, your highnesses are taking the opportunity to stir up trouble and encroach on the power space of your highness. We don’t have much time left! “

“If His Royal Highness does not come back, our entire Donggong Group will suffer a devastating blow! Not only will our hard work be wasted, but even our lives and the lives of the clansmen will be lost! By that time, It’s too late to regret it, it’s too late!”

Everyone nodded with serious faces.

Their interests, the family’s interests, have been firmly tied to the crown prince’s, and all will be prosperous and all will suffer!

If their highness the crown prince cannot be rescued and other princes come to power, how can they be tolerated?

Power struggles have always been cruel!

In order to protect their rights, there will definitely be a bloody massacre!

Therefore, they have no choice but to go to the dark!

If the prince cannot be saved, they will all be finished with him!

Two days passed quickly.

The Daxia delegation was able to meet with Lin Beifan again, hand over a bank note worth 8 million taels to Lin Beifan, and promise to pay a ransom of 10 million taels to the court.

Lin Beifan was very happy: “Is that right? It’s only 18 million taels. You give me the money and I release him. How simple is that?”

The corners of the Daxia delegation’s eyes twitched when they heard this.

18 million taels, just repay?

Almost all their private property was wiped out, and the court’s 12 million taels was added to make up the amount!

“Master Lin, the money has already been given to you, so you know what to do next?”

Lin Beifan patted his chest and assured: “Don’t worry, I’m the most trustworthy official! I’ll report this matter to His Majesty when I go to court tomorrow, and Hulao Pass will definitely release people quickly!”

The representatives of Daxia looked at each other, and Lord Wang said loudly: “Okay! Then please leave to Lord Lin, now let’s talk about the redemption of His Highness the Crown Prince!”

Everyone else became serious. Their trip was mainly for His Royal Highness, Xia Qiong.

Lin Beifan shook his head: “Do you want to redeem the prince Xia Qiong? To be honest, this matter is very difficult! You must know that this war was caused by your prince. Your prince almost ruined our country and our family. He is the country’s great enemy , how could we let him go so easily?”

“Besides, if Xia Tianqiong stays in our hands, you will be wary and dare not use force again! Letting him go is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain! If it were you, what would you do?”

On behalf of Da Xia, their faces were very ugly.

Although I already guessed that this matter would be very difficult, I never thought it would be so difficult.

Master Wang cupped his hands and said, “Lord Lin, I have to leave this matter to you! As long as it can be placed in His Royal Highness, everything can be discussed!”

Lin Beifan was very happy: “Really?”

“Nature is true!”

Lin Beifan said even more happily: “As long as you give me 100 million taels of silver, you will definitely convince His Majesty to release Xia Tianqiong!”

The Daxia delegation: “Damn!”

You can export 100 million taels of silver!

Even if their treasury is emptied, they still won’t be able to come up with so much silver taels!

Mr. Wang said with an ugly face: “Master Lin, don’t be joking! We can’t get 100 million taels of silver at all! There is no one person or country in the world who can get it!”

< p>
Lin Beifan asked with some displeasure: “Then how much can you give?”

Instead, the Daxia delegation was a little undecided.

Lord Wang cautiously raised a finger: “One million taels, is it okay?”

“Yes!” Lin Beifan nodded: “After a hundred years from the crown prince, I will definitely hand over his ashes to you, so that he can return to his roots and rest in peace!”

Daxia delegation: “Damn!”

“If you are in a hurry, I can do it right away!”

Daxia delegation: “Tao Tak Tau…”

Lord Wang gritted his teeth: “5 million taels!”

“Yes!” Lin Beifan nodded again: “After 20 years, I will definitely return the crown prince to you!”

Everyone in Daxia is not calm again!

20 years later?

The daylilies are getting cold!

Lord Wang gritted his teeth again, and said pleadingly: “Lord Lin, 10 million taels! There really can’t be any more, any more will be gone! We’ve already lost everything, and we can’t afford another tael!”

Lin Beifan finally let go: “Okay, I’ll try to persuade His Majesty, the problem shouldn’t be a big deal! But it’s agreed, the 10 million taels are just for me, and the imperial ransom will be calculated separately!”

Lord Wang and the others felt very heartbroken: “Thank you, Lord Lin!”

On the second day, after Lin Beifan came back from the palace, he said, “I have already reported this matter to Your Majesty! After my persuasion, Your Majesty finally nodded and let me go!”

Everyone in Daxia was overjoyed: “Really?”

“Of course, what did I lie to you for? However, His Majesty needs a ransom of 30 million taels before releasing him!”

“30 million taels!” They breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was not much.

At least he has more conscience than some bastard!

It was either 80 million or 100 million, which scared them to the core!

Back and forth, about 20 million taels have been embezzled from them, which is worse than a national thief!

Lin Beifan continued: “However, Your Majesty doesn’t want money, but supplies worth 30 million taels, including grain, salt, steel, cotton cloth, etc.!”

Everyone in Daxia’s complexion became serious again.

Materials worth 30 million taels, this is not a small sum!

If it is really taken out, they will become poor in Daxia, and there will be problems in the operation of the country!

For example, food, if there is not enough food reserves, if there is a famine, people will definitely complain and the country will be in turmoil.

And without food, there is no way to fight.

Lin Beifan seemed to see through their thoughts, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, you can join together slowly! If you can’t do it in one year, you can take two years, and if you can’t do it in two years, you can take three years. When we complete the payment, when will we let them go!”.
