1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1961
For Huo Fei, the main purpose of arranging this meeting today is to reach a final agreement with "Master Tian". Whether Guan Anping, who acts as a liaison, will come or not is really not that important anymore.In the one-on-one conversation, Huo Fei can have less scruples and can communicate more directly with "Master Tian".

According to Huo Fei's previous work habits, he should try his best to win over this important person and develop him into a network that he can use, but this time the situation is a bit special. Danzhou made a movement, and it is certain that all relevant parties will be traced by the government after that.

At that time, not to mention that Huo Fei himself will have to go far away to avoid disaster, even this imposing "Lord Tian" will most likely be implicated and held accountable.So even if you manage to hug the opponent's thigh, it will be useless in a few days, so it's better to save this little thought and deal with this big deal that will allow you to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life .

Since it was just two of them eating, Huo Fei immediately asked Xiao Er to open the table and serve the food.Xiao Er quickly delivered two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, four cold dishes, and a jug of iced fruit wine ordered by Huo Fei, and then closed the door and left.

Huo Fei took the initiative to carry the pot to fill the wine glass in front of Zhang Qianzhi, and said: "Master Tian, ​​although this fruit wine is considered wine, it is not intoxicating. After drinking it, it only has a fruity aroma, and there will be no smell of alcohol on your body. Drink less It will not delay your work in the afternoon."

Zhang Qianzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Huo really has a heart, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

It's not that Zhang Qianzhi doesn't know how to drink, it's just that he doesn't like it. In addition, his job is quite special, so he can't drink alcohol in many cases.But when he really needs to drink, he can swallow even high-strength liquor, not to mention it's just fruit wine with a very low alcohol content.

Huo Fei also poured a glass for himself, and then raised his glass to toast: "As I said yesterday, I need to trouble my lord to help me with the rest of the matter."

Zhang Qianzhi had a drink with him, and then responded: "Of course I remember what we talked about yesterday, but it seems that Mr. Huo forgot something."

Huo Fei could not understand what he was implying, and immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Qianzhi: "My lord, this is a bearer fixed amount check issued by Haihan Bank, which can be issued at any Haihan Bank Cash at the bank. The denomination is 1000 yuan, and there are fifty tickets in total. You count the number."

Zhang Qianzhi didn't immediately reach out to get the stack of checks, but looked at Huo Fei and said, "Mr. Huo, what does this mean?"

Huo Fei was stunned and said, "Isn't this the amount your lord asked for yesterday?"

Zhang Qianzhi said with a straight face: "Mr. Huo is planning a big event. In order to help Mr. Huo succeed, I have to gamble my future. Fifty thousand is not enough! Could it be that Mr. Huo thinks that his wealth and future are only worth this?" money?"

Huo Fei was shocked and said: "My lord... this... where did you start?"

Although Huo Fei was already mentally prepared that the other party might change his mind when he came, he never expected that this "Lord Tian" would turn out to be a different person from before, pull his face down and say such words that made him tremble with fear.Hearing what the other party said, it seemed that he had already noticed his true intention to participate in this matter, and he didn't take the [-] figure into consideration at all. It would be a bit troublesome if things turned out like this.

"Where to start? It depends on where you want to start." Zhang Qianzhi said unhurriedly: "Or Mr. Huo, why did you spend so much money to master the itinerary of the son of Joseon?" , what good will it do you?"

Rao Huo Fei is usually considered a person who can speak well, but Zhang Qianzhi's calm question made it difficult for him to respond.He originally thought that the other party was a money-loving person, as long as the money was in place, things would be easy to handle, but he never thought that the other party was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he had already seen that his purpose was impure.

Huo Fei suddenly thought of Guan Anping who didn't show up here today. If the other party had already sensed his intentions, then the real reason why Guan Anping didn't show up might not be busy with official business.As for whether Guan Anping said anything that should not be said to this "Lord Tian", it is not known at the moment, and he did not send any information through the previous reply to his invitation, which made Huo Fei already in a very passive position. situation.

"My lord, there may be some misunderstanding..." Huo Fei didn't dare to test the other party's attitude at the moment. He could only try to shirk his responsibility first, and at the same time began to ponder in his mind how to get out of the current predicament. get away.

"Oh? Is it a misunderstanding? Then tell me, where is the misunderstanding?" Zhang Qianzhi had been observing Huo Fei's reaction, and naturally noticed the flustered mood of the other party, and immediately became more sure of his judgment.But now that Huo Fei has fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Security, there is no need to rush to take him down at this moment. Zhang Qianzhi hopes to defeat the opponent's psychological defense through one-on-one conversations. Contribute to the investigation of the case.

If Huo Fei was smart enough, what he should do at this time is to quickly sell Xue Zheng in order to protect himself, but he is thinking that Xue Zheng still has [-] yuan to pay him, so he is really unwilling to give up directly.For this money, he still wanted to test the other party's true attitude.

"The purpose of the villain's donation is just to have the opportunity to contribute to the country, and has no other intentions. Please be aware of it! But if the adult thinks that this amount is not enough, then the villain will be helpless." Huo Fei decided to struggle again , Maybe the other party's current information is not as much as I thought, just to squeeze more oil from my hands.

Zhang Qianzhi had dealt with various investigation subjects over the years, and had quite a lot of experience. Hearing Huo Fei's words, he knew that he was still lucky and wanted to get away with it.It's a pity that Huo Fei didn't know that almost all his actions had been investigated by the other party, and this attempt in front of Zhang Qianzhi was just futile.

"Contributing to the country? This excuse is good, but the person who paid for the news from you is my Haihan citizen?" Zhang Qianzhi stared into Huo Fei's eyes, wanting to confirm his real reaction immediately.Although there is still a lack of evidence, Zhang Qianzhi judges that Huo Fei's real purpose of obtaining this information is to make a profit, and that group of so-called Great Ming grain merchants is very likely to be the buyer behind him.

Sure enough, this heavy blow made it difficult for the unprepared Huo Fei to parry, and he couldn't even tense his expression at the moment.He really didn't expect that the big deal he thought was actually a big pit, and the government had clearly found out everything, and they just waited for him to take the money and throw it into the net.I shuttled back and forth between Xue Zheng and senior officials, thinking that this operation was very clever, but now it seems that I am just pretending to be smart, and this "Master Tian" is just pretending to act with me.

Zhang Qianzhi saw that Huo Fei's face turned blue and white, but he didn't speak. He knew that what he said just now should hit the other party's life, making it difficult for the other party to respond, so he continued to put pressure on the other party while the iron was hot: "Mr. Huo, You can't just pretend to be dumb right now. You must know how big this matter is. I'm not afraid to tell you that even if you don't say anything, you can't hide what you have done. You walked into this room today Restaurant, don’t even think about going out easily! I know you’re thinking about how to get out, save yourself, you can’t go out.”

After Zhang Qianzhi finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone immediately opened the door from the outside, but it was not the waiter serving the food and wine.Zhang Qianzhi ordered without looking back: "Let the store continue to serve the dishes. Mr. Huo has paid all the money, so it can't be wasted."

The calmer Zhang Qianzhi looked, the more Huo Fei could realize that the situation was completely controlled by the other party, and the more desperate he would feel.His mind is not bad, but because of his disability, his ability to use force is basically negligible, so there is no need to have any idea of ​​using force to escape from this place.As for the coachman and entourage brought out by Huo Fei, he no longer counted on them. Since the other party had made arrangements in advance, they would naturally not let his subordinates go. They must have been arrested long ago.

Now that the opponent has already shown his cards, Huo Fei knew that he couldn't leave, so he gave up trying to figure out how to get out. Now he needs to think about what is best for him - even for the purpose of saving his life .

Although the restaurant was under the control of the security department at this time and temporarily closed its business, the kitchen was still open, and several hot dishes were delivered to Zhang Qianzhi's private room soon.Zhang Qianzhi didn't urge Huo Fei to respond, but instead greeted Huo Fei: "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables. When they get cold, they won't taste good!"

Huo Fei felt that the other party seemed to have something to say, but Zhang Qianzhi ignored him, and started to move first with the chopsticks, without any tension at all.But to Huo Fei, this was simply an expression of confidence.

Huo Fei silently poured himself a glass of wine, then raised his head to drink it, put down the glass and wiped his mouth, and then said to Zhang Qianzhi: "My lord, it must not be the real surname Tian?"

Zhang Qianzhi smiled and said: "My surname is Zhang. The real Mr. Tian is accompanying the Prince of Korea to visit other places. He will arrive in Danzhou in a few days, but I think Mr. Huo probably won't have the chance to meet Mr. Tian."

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, disrespect and disrespect!" Huo Fei tried his best to keep calm and try not to show his timidity in front of the other party: "Forgive me for asking, if the villain is willing to cooperate with the government and follow the command of Mr. Zhang, can I get online?" On the one hand, forgive the sin of the villain?"

Zhang Qianzhi slowly put down his chopsticks, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he responded, "Where did Mr. Huo get the confidence to bargain with the government?"

Huo Fei forced himself to be calm and said: "Master Zhang could order the villain to be arrested immediately, but he still sits here and eats in a leisurely manner, which means that the villain should still have a little use value, otherwise he should be served by torture at this time." Bar?"

"He is obviously a smart person, why do he do stupid things? Is it true that you can give up your life for money?" Zhang Qianzhi looked at Huo Fei, sighed and said, "With your brain, doing some regular business is just as good. Get ahead, why is this!"

When Huo Fei heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, and replied loudly: "Why don't you want to live an upright life, but back then, there were a few people in my clan who rebelled against the Haihan government, and they were expelled by confiscating their homes and properties." Leaving Danzhou, the villain’s arm was shot by the Haihan army at that time. Later, he had to amputate to save his life. He had to change his name and surname, and carefully conceal his identity to stay in Danzhou. May I ask Mr. Zhang, the government How have you ever given a villain a way to live?"

How Haihan took control of the Qiongbei area back then, Zhang Qianzhi also knew roughly, the process of course would not be peaceful, and there were quite a few big gentry families who opposed Haihan in the local area.Although Hai Han didn't kill indiscriminately, he did take some rather ruthless methods in order to control the situation quickly.Huo Fei's situation was not uncommon at the time, and in terms of what he had done in the past few years, it was indeed not an antithesis to the government.

However, Zhang Qianzhi will definitely not let the other party's tough attitude continue. He shook his head and said, "A mistake is a mistake. Your previous life experience was pitiful, but it doesn't mean that you can be forgiven for doing wrong things now. But if you are willing to cooperate with us, you can If this matter is settled properly, I can consider pleading for you and save your life first."

Huo Fei said: "The villain is physically disabled. If he is sentenced to a few years of hard labor, how is it different from the death penalty?"

Zhang Qianzhi said: "The hard labor camps are not all for hard work. If you want to negotiate conditions with me here, then I'm not interested. Some people under me like to negotiate conditions with others, how about you Go talk to them, it's just that they like to do things, maybe they can't sit down and talk calmly like they do now."

Of course, Huo Fei would not choose to suffer this kind of immediate loss. When he is tortured, he still has to succumb to the other party and suffer in vain. It is better to admit his failure and choose to cooperate at this time, at least he can save his life.

After quickly calculating the gains and losses, Huo Fei responded: "Then follow Master Zhang's wishes. I don't know what the villain can do for you?"

Zhang Qianzhi said: "Let's talk about the buyer's situation in detail first. How much do you know? It's best to tell them all. If there is still something to hide, then I really can't help you, and I didn't give people a second chance. habit."

At this time, how dare Huo Fei hide anything from the government officials? He even told all the details since he came into contact with Xue Zheng, even the few times the two sides bargained. The process is also said together.

"So where do these people come from, what are their real identities, who do they work for, and why do they trouble the North Koreans? You don't know anything about it?" Zhang Qianzhi was dissatisfied with Huo Fei's confession. Huo Fei didn't mention the key information at all.
