"Three officials, I am the two ministers and the eunuchs in the harem. I'm bragging, I'm sleeping with the princess, and I've served the empress as well. As long as I give my official money, I guarantee that this Qianjiang County is yours, and I can do whatever I want!"

Long Chen said it with confidence, but Zhang Qian complained about Long Chen in her heart.

Xu Zhi and the other two looked at each other in hearing this. Although these words were rough, they were very reasonable.

The princess and the empress have both slept, so the affairs of the court will definitely be settled.

The governor Chen Zu couldn't help asking: "Sir, aren't you... eunuch? How did you do it?"

Long Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Zu to ask such a question.

"I have my own tricks. If you want to learn, you have to pay."

The governor Chen Zu still wanted to ask, but was frightened by Xu Zhi's gaze.

"How much does that adult want?"

Xu Zhi asked for the other two people.

Long Chen knocked on the table and said, "The governor said that there are 100,000 pirates here. If I want to suppress the pirates, I need at least 100,000 troops. According to the 10 taels of silver for each soldier, I need at least 1 million taels of silver."

hiss...

Xu Zhi and the other two felt a toothache when they heard it.

According to this calculation, each person will pay more than 330,000 yuan in silver, which is not a small amount.

"Sir, this... is too much."

Wang Zhong couldn't help but stand up and said.

Although they are pirates, they feel that the money is stolen with hard work and saved up by killing people and robbing people with one knife and one shot.

This Long Chen has a red mouth and white teeth, and it costs 1 million taels to open his mouth. This is such a loss.

Xu glanced at Chen Zu straightforwardly and said, "Sir, there are no 100,000 pirates. Those pirates on Ghost Island only have to die of 30,000, and they don't need so much money."

Long Chen was secretly happy, but he didn't expect to find out the real situation from Xu Zhi.

Long Chen's face darkened and he said, "Mr. Xu, you are lying about military information. Governor Chen clearly said there was 100,000, but you said there was only 30,000. Do you want me to underestimate the enemy?"

Chen Zu hurriedly said: "Sir, there are indeed only 30,000, only 30,000. The others are mobs who took advantage of the chaos."

Long Chen turned his head and angrily shouted: "Governor Chen, you dare to lie about military affairs!"

Chen Zu immediately explained: "Sir, the official is afraid that you will blame me, so he will say more so that he can shirk responsibility and calm down his anger."

Long Chen's face was gloomy and said, "That's not less than 300,000 taels. I will also regain Zhenhai County. There are many places to use troops and money."

Yuan Tengfei said: "Sir, if we help you recover Zhenhai County, this money..."

Long Chen frowned and asked, "Master Yuan is really capable. Can you recover the city occupied by pirates?"

Yuan Tengfei looked shaking and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

Xu Zhi scolded Yuan Tengfei for being idiot in his heart. In order to save money, he actually said such words.

Long Chen said coldly: "If you can help me recover Zhenhai County, I can ask for less."

Yuan Tengfei was overjoyed and said, "What lord said seriously?"

Long Chen nodded and said, "Take it seriously, if I can help me recover Zhenhai County, I will only have 200,000 taels."

Xu Zhi was secretly scolding Yuan Tengfei for being idiot just now, but now he feels that Yuan Tengfei is really a genius.

Zhenhai County is already a abandoned city, and it is useless to occupy it. As long as you withdraw your troops, you can spend 100,000 taels less. This deal is absolutely cost-effective.

"Don't worry, sir, we will find someone to regain Zhenhai County."

Wang Zhong said happily.

At this time, Xu Zhi asked tentatively: "Sir, to be honest, we have some small money, but taking out 200,000 yuan at a time will be under great pressure."

Long Chen slapped the table and cursed: "What do you mean? Don't you want to give it to 200,000!"

Xu Zhi immediately said, "Sir, don't get me wrong. We want to do this. We give you 60,000 taels of filial piety every year. Look..."

Long Chen sat down without saying a word, squinted his eyes and looked at the three of them coldly.

Xu Zhi and the other two didn't know if Long Chen would agree to this plan.

The governor Chen Zu was very nervous, he was afraid that things would break down.

After a long time, Long Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Three brothers, we will be brothers from now on. I promise that this place will always belong to you."

call...

Xu Zhi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief and the matter was settled.

Every year, Long Chen will always help them conceal the truth. Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.

"Sir, three officials, the officials are preparing some wine in the back yamen. Let's have a drink together?"

Chen Zu is like a little brother.

Long Chen stood up and smiled and said, "It's a must. I made friends with three brothers today and I want to have a drink."

Xu Zhi and the other two were also happy and said, "You are polite, please!"

The few people entered the Houya together, and there was a table of banquets in the yard. An old chef served the wine and food on the table, and then lowered his head.

Long Chen glanced at the old chef from the corner of his eyes, and then sat in the seat on the upper seat. Zhang Qian and Wu Jian were still standing beside him to escort the guards.

Xu Zhi and the other four sat down, Chen Zu sat on the left, and Xu Zhi sat down on the right.

The yamen runners came up to pour wine and the bowls and chopsticks were arranged.

"Sir, we'll give you a drink."

Chen Zu raised his glass, and Long Chen also raised his glass...

Zhang Qian stopped Long Chen and said, "Sir, try it out if it is poisonous first."

Xu Zhi laughed and said, "Don't worry, sir, this is our territory, how can there be poison? Don't worry."

As he said that, Xu Zhi and his friends should do it first.

Long Chen was not in a hurry to drink and handed the wine to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian took out the silver needle and dipped it in wine, and the silver needle immediately turned black.

"poisonous!"

Zhang Qian poured the wine on the ground, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian immediately drew their swords, and the cavalry guards drew their swords together, surrounding Xu Zhi and the other four in the middle.

Long Chen sneered: "Governor Chen, Mr. Xu, you want to poison me to death!"

puff...

Xu Zhi sprayed out the wine from his mouth. Yuan Tengfei had not drunk it yet, but Wang Zhong had already drunk it.

"Pit, shit!"

Wang Zhong pinched his throat and tried hard to sniff the root of his tongue, but he couldn't spit it out.

The yamen runner immediately brought a jug of shit and urine from the toilet. Wang Zhong took a sip and then vomited out a big mouthful.

Although he vomited, Wang Zhong still rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. Xu Zhi shouted to ask a doctor for treatment.

The Houya was in chaos, Long Chen looked cold and asked, "Zhen Zu, you dare to murder the imperial envoy!"

Chen Zu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Sir, I'm not poisoning me. If I were poisoning, how could I poison my grandfather of the Third Grandpa?"

Xu Zhi coughed out a mouthful of black blood from his throat. Although he didn't drink it, he entered his mouth and was poisoned.

Zhang Qian said, "Sir, they poisoned them and killed them together!"

Long Chen stopped him and said, "No, they didn't poison them."

"Zu Chen, if you don't give me an explanation, I will return to Beijing to sue you for affair with the pirates and murder the imperial envoy! The emperor will definitely send troops to pacify Qianjiang County."

After saying that, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian rushed out of the governor's mansion, and immediately got off the city and returned to the military camp.

In the governor's mansion, Xu Zhi kept coughing up blood, and Chen Zu kept urging the doctor to come here to help earlier.

Soon, the doctor entered the Houya to detoxify Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong.
