Chapter 101 I’m afraid I’m not a fool, right?

Zhaixinglou, the top restaurant in Dongdu.

The main structure has three floors, and the guests on the third floor are either rich or expensive.

Tonight, I will go down to the third floor to entertain distinguished guests.

Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong County, came to Zhaixinglou for a banquet with his entourage.

In front of the stairs on the third floor, only Gongsun Du, his son Gongsun Kang and his bodyguard Tai Shici were allowed to go upstairs.

The rank of Zhijinwu is two thousand stones, and the rank of county guard is two thousand stones.

On the surface, it seems that Gongsun Du is one level lower than Liu Bei, but Liaodong belongs to the lower counties, where the young and old are bordered by the poor.

According to the rules of the officialdom, the Beijing official is one level higher than Liu Bei, and because Liu Bei is in charge of the Northern Army, there is more than two levels difference between them.

One level of officialdom can crush people to death, let alone two levels and above.

Therefore, Gongsun Du respectfully went up to the third floor and entered the largest private room in the middle.

"The governor of Liaodong County in Youzhou, Gongsun Du, also known as Zhi Jinwu."

Liu Bei, who was wearing a formal dress, looked at Gongsun Du who bowed to the ground. Judging from his tone, he was an arrogant and ruthless man.

Behind the opponent on the left is a sturdy young man of about 20 years old, who should be the eldest son Gongsun Kang.

The tall, slender and handsome man on the right side behind him must be Taishi Ci.

Unexpectedly, Jiangdong's most fierce war god actually became a bodyguard, which is like a pearl covered in dust.

In this world, whoever the Jinwu family likes will sooner or later belong to the Jinwu family!

"No gifts! Everyone, please sit down!"

Liu Bei's tone was very calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, which made Gongsun Du have to be cautious.

Following the waiter's guidance, the three of them sat on the left side of Liu Bei, with Gongsun Du in front and the two behind him side by side.

At this time, the three of them saw two people sitting opposite, on the right side of Liu Bei.

Gongsun Du knew the governor of Sanhan County, Shanyu and Qiu Liju of the Wuhuan people, and his disciple Tadun.

These prairie people are tough by nature and don't know etiquette. They don't even understand the principle of receiving their body, hair, and skin from their parents.

The two people opposite each other only have palm-sized hair on the top, which is no more than an inch long.

Gongsun Du immediately understood why Zhi Jinwu invited him today, because he was afraid that the banquet would not be a good one.

At first Qiu Liju was a arrogant person in western Liaoning, but he ended up rolling around in three nests, and he still dares not to fart.

Of course, business in Seoul has been very popular recently, and there are a lot of ships, so it has attracted Japanese pirates.

Gongsundu, who thought that the armed Japanese pirates were unknown, now understands that the news must have leaked somewhere.

Although the two knew each other, Qiu Liju's eyes were obviously not friendly, so Gongsun Du didn't rush to get into trouble and sat quietly on his knees.

After looking both ways, Liu Bei suddenly smiled.

"Oops, I forgot to introduce you, Gongsun County Sheriff, this is Sanhan County Sheriff, Lord Wuhuan, Qiu Liju Chanyu."

Gongsun Du stood up and pretended to have just discovered the other party.

"It turns out to be Sheriff Qiu. I'm sorry! We haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you always?"

With two snorts from his nostrils, Qiu Liju suppressed his anger and said: "The sea area under my rule has recently been disturbed by Japanese pirates. Do you, Gongsun Du, know about it?"

According to Jin Yiwei's news, most of the pirate ships that plundered the Three Hans were Yamatai Japanese, and recently, a large amount of Three Han supplies have appeared on the market in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning. No fool would believe it if Gongsun Du did not participate or support it.<

/p>

The largest merchant in Sanhan was Qiu Liju, so he suffered heavy losses. Knowing that Gongsun Du was behind the Japanese pirates, he wished he could pounce on him and take a bite now.

Gongsun Du pretended to be surprised, raised his hands and said: "Japanese pirates? Where did the governor start talking about this?"

Qiu Liju stood up, pointed at Gongsun Du and cursed loudly: "You dare to do something but don't dare to do it, do you believe that someone led his troops to eradicate Xiangping?"

Tadun, who was a head taller behind him, also stood up and stared fiercely at Gongsun Du's throat, like a fierce wolf ready to attack at any time.

After Gongsun Du died, Gongsun Kang and Taishi Ci also stood up one after another to show off their momentum.

Being able to whip his opponents to death in the downtown area, massacre Gongsun Du of hundreds of wealthy families, and bloody suppress the grassland tribes and Goguryeo, he is certainly not a coward.

Seeing Qiu Liju openly showing off his face, Gongsun Du stopped pretending.

"If Shanyu leads an army to Xiangping, I will prepare a bed with fine wine and prepare it for him."

Well, the talks fell through, that’s good.

"Cough!"

There was a slight cough, and both sides immediately turned to Liu Bei.

"They are all heroes of the same side, and they are all respectable officials of the court. In a civil war, the Han Dynasty's defense force will be lost. It is better for the two of you to give up a certain face and sit down to talk."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. We will have a good talk with you next time."

Gongsundu borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and knelt down.

"Okay! I have always been fair, so I can talk to you."

Liu Bei asked Qiu Liju: "Chanyu, tell me about your losses."

Balabala and Qiu Liju talked and submitted the details of the losses, totaling two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Liu Bei nodded, and Liu Baniu immediately gave the detailed list to Gongsun Du.

"Gongsun County Sheriff, look at the number. Is there any mistake?"

This guy clearly wanted to take advantage of him. Gongsun Du looked very ugly and remained silent.

To be honest, the Japanese pirates probably plundered 200,000 taels, but when two to one were added to five, Gongsun Du actually only got one hundred thousand taels.

If he admits this list, he will have to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation.

Even if you are a superior Jinwu, you can’t just ask me to pay for it!

Unexpectedly, a sentence came from above.

"Chanyu, since Governor Gongsun does not deny it, then I will compensate you for the two hundred thousand taels on his behalf."

Huh?!

Gongsun Du and Qiu Liju were both greatly surprised.

Qiu Liju said it because what Liu Bei said was different from before, and Gongsun Du couldn't figure out why the other party would pay this money for him.

The two sides had almost no interaction before, so why should they help themselves?

Is it because you want to win over yourself, or you want to take refuge with yourself?

No matter what, it’s good to make up for the losses, not to mention that when Zhijinwu opens his mouth, Qiu Liju can’t help but know good from evil.

"This is impossible. How can I let Zhi Jinwu spend this unjust money..."

Seeing Liu Bei laying his hands on him, Qiu Liju shut up decisively and stopped refusing.

He also came to the same conclusion as Gongsun Du, thinking that Liu Bei wanted to win over the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Du thought for a while, but he really had no idea, so he could only stand up and salute.

"In any case, I am grateful for Zhi Jinwu's favor. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

If the situation is unclear, we can only ask for directions.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Well, since I said that, I am thinking of something. The former Taifu was assassinated in the street. Have you all heard about it?"

"Hey, there are many dragons in Kyoto, and the public security is good and bad. I am also frightened by it. Therefore, I intend to recruit strong men to guard for ten and a half months. I wonder if Shengji has any recommendations?"

That’s it!

Gongsun Du suddenly realized.

It turns out that what Zhi Jinwu values ​​​​is his bodyguard Tai Shici. What caused this incident is so damn pretentious!

Holding his nose, Gongsun Du immediately whispered to Taishi Ci.

He originally wanted to conquer this warrior, but he didn't agree, so he passed it on to Liu Bei, and he didn't feel bad at all.

Anyway, ten days and a half, Gongsundu will transfer the order directly.

Taishi Ci, who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason, looked confused.

Damn it, I’m afraid this King is not a fool, right?

That’s two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is enough to hire one hundred thousand people, right?

Taishi Ci's puzzled and surprised expression made Liu Bei very proud.

You know nothing about the world of rich people!

As a result, Taishi Ci successfully transferred the order, and from now on, he will provide a fifteen-day bodyguard mission for the great Han Zhijinwu.

Everything is settled and everyone is happy.
