Kowloon wins

Chapter 209 Revisiting Huanghua Station ([-])
Old slick!
Seeing the vivid pained expression on Cao Yin's face, Hong Qing couldn't help but slandered her, but she secretly woke up in her heart, probably because Cao Yin was not an ordinary local official, nor was he like Ba Xi. For those who are honest and honest, if they want to deceive them, the possibility is obviously not that great. If it is self-defeating, it will not be beautiful.

"Don't dare to give advice, Benbaile is just curious about Mr. Cao's choice, heh, let's put it this way, I don't know if Mr. Cao wants to solve the shortfall once and for all, or is he planning to make peace for a while so that it will harm his children and grandchildren?"

Going around in circles with a slippery old bureaucrat like Cao Yin is really troublesome. Although Hongqing is not bad at eloquence, it is not necessary. After all, the two sides can be regarded as two grasshoppers tied together on the same line. ——If the debt of Jiang Ning weaving cannot be completely resolved, the third master will certainly have a lot of trouble, but Cao Yin will not be able to please him. After all, no matter how good the personal relationship between the old man and Cao Yin is, it cannot be broken. It may be because of Cao Yin alone that the entire plan to settle debts is affected. From this point of view, the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial if they cooperate, and they will lose if they are divided. at the heart of it.

"The lower official is stupid, please let the little prince speak clearly."

Although Cao Yin didn't dare to underestimate Hong Qing, but he was mostly imaginary and coping before, and he just wanted to hear what the third master's plan was. In fact, he didn't really plan to have a deep talk with Hong Qing. , but hearing Hong Qing's words, her heart was trembling involuntarily, and she didn't dare to be negligent, bowed her lower body respectfully, and replied with a serious expression.

"Lord Cao, you are being polite. As your holy family, even if you have nothing to do with the debt this time, Huang Mafa will definitely not be embarrassed. At most, you will be reprimanded a little, and we will discuss it later. Speaking of it However, if the root of the disaster is not eliminated, how can future troubles be calmed down? You must know that there is always a banquet in the world. Birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace in the world. Master Cao will not think about his own happy life. But end up with a decadent descendant?"

When dealing with old bureaucrats such as Cao Yin, if you don't break through their inner defenses, don't expect them to cooperate sincerely in everything in the future. Thinking about the possibility of fluke, he pointed out bluntly that if the Cao family did not cooperate, the future would undoubtedly be tragic.

"This this……"

The Cao family was originally a large family, and now it has a large number of people. As the head of the family, Cao Yin has a heavy burden on him. Naturally, he can't just care about himself and ignore the huge family behind him. This can rely on the family members of Mr. Kangxi to survive this catastrophe, but after hearing Hong Qing's analysis like this, the last trace of luck in my heart was disillusioned, her face turned pale instantly, and the sweat all over her face was unstoppable. Flowing down——Cao Yin has read poetry and books, and he will never understand the principle of a gentleman and a courtier. Because he understands, he is really afraid. You must know whether it is the Jiangning weaving he occupies or the Cao family is now The existing property is very fat. Once there is no support from the old man, all forces will surely rush over like hungry wolves and tear the Cao family into pieces, unless the Cao family can find another backer Otherwise, such a tragic end would be inevitable.

"Good tea, the top Yuqian Longjing tea, with a fragrance on the lips and teeth, endless aftertaste, not bad, really good!"

I have said everything that should be said, Hong Qing didn't want to waste any more words, even though Cao Yin's expression kept changing, Hong Qing didn't pay any attention to it, and just picked up the tea bowl and closed it slightly With his eyes, he savored carefully without saying a word, and he still had a leisurely heart to comment on it, as if he came here only to drink tea.

"Pfft!"

This Hong Qing was sipping tea indifferently, while the other Cao Yin couldn't sit still, and fell to his knees on the ground in a cold sweat.

"Oh, Mr. Cao, what are you doing, please hurry up, are you trying to destroy Ben Baylor?"

When Cao Yin knelt down like this, although Hong Qing was very happy in his heart, he jumped up with a look of shock on his face, and while exclaiming in surprise, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Cao Yin. arm.

"I also ask the little prince to be the judge for the subordinates. If there is a commission, I dare not resign!"

Cao Yin has been an official for many years, and he is naturally a master who can stretch and contract. Although he never planned to serve the third master, it does not prevent him from keeping his attitude to the lowest and pretending to be pitiful. It is really like that Son.

"Your Majesty Cao speaks too seriously, please stand up and talk, but if Ben Baylor can help, you must not dare to shirk."

Hongqing had no intention of bringing the Cao family over, and he didn't care whether Cao Yin's performance was true or not. All he asked for was that Cao Yin could cooperate in the matter of paying off debts, and that was enough. As for the power of the Cao family? , Hong Qing really didn't pay much attention to it.

"Thank you little prince Long En, if my Cao family can get out of this catastrophe, it is all thanks to the little prince. I will never forget such a great favor."

Cao Yin is not an ordinary person to be so favored by the old man, and his ability to climb up the pole is really amazing. Hearing what Hong Qing said, he immediately hit the snake with the stick and unceremoniously dealt with the affairs of the Cao family. Er put all his brains on Hong Qing's body, and she was so grateful that she didn't give Hong Qing an excuse to refuse.

"Master Cao doesn't have to be like this, but if Ben Baylor can do it, he should do it, and please sit down and talk."

Even though she knew that Cao Yin was not easy to deal with, Hong Qing couldn't help but feel a little bit unhappy when she was really tricked by him like a hob. , so he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and comforted Cao Yin on the seat first.

"Please order, my little prince, there will be no servants who refuse to obey."

Cao Yin is obviously very good at striking while the iron is hot, he just sat down, he already bowed his body, and hurriedly asked about the specific regulations.

"Well, Ben Baylor will not be hypocritical. Well, before that, Ben Baylor still has a question to ask. I wonder how much money the Cao family will be able to spend in the next two years to pay off the deficit?"

Although Hong Qing wasn't moved by Cao Yin's sad card, she didn't plan to make any more fuss, and readily agreed to help, but she didn't directly say the solution, but asked first. an extremely sensitive issue.

"This……"

Hearing Hong Qing's question, Cao Yin couldn't help hesitating a little. He really didn't want to make any promises before he could figure out Hong Qing's real intentions, for he was afraid of falling into Hong Qing's schemes.

"The Cao family owes nearly 60 taels. If there is nothing to say, even if Huang Mafa doesn't mind, it can't stand the impeachment of the officials. Please keep this point in mind, Mr. Cao. Well, let's put it this way, if the Cao family can I have shown something this and next year, but Ben Baylor can try to take care of the debt later on.”

Regarding Cao Yin's thoughts, Hong Qing knew it well, but she didn't care, she chuckled lightly, and made a promise without hiding anything.

"Young Lord, it is clear that it is not because the officials are shirking you, but because the family property is limited. In the next one or two years, you can generally get more than [-] taels of silver. If there is more, the family's financial resources may be unsustainable. Please also ask the little prince. Complete."

Although Cao Yin didn't dare to underestimate Hong Qing, but when it comes to trust, it's obviously not very deep. Even if Hong Qing's words are extravagant, he doesn't want to tell the truth, so he replied with an obvious tentative tone. road.

5 taels for two years?Hey, send beggars away, this old thing is really slippery!

Hearing what Cao Yin said, Hongqing's dissatisfaction inevitably surged up, not for anything else, but because Hongqing had someone investigate the Cao family's property a long time ago—even though the Cao family really couldn't afford it. Nearly 60 taels of silver can be squeezed out, and it is not a big problem to take out 10,000+ taels. If you really want to copy the bottom of the Cao family, there are also three 10,000+ taels, which is enough to show the two years Cao Yin said 5 taels of silver is purely a deceiving statement.

"Since Master Cao is insincere, then it's Ben Baylor's troubles, so leave!"

Hong Qing really couldn't bear to haggle with Cao Yin endlessly, so she stood up, as if she wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, little lord, the lower official is willing to give 10 taels of silver, and asks the little lord to leave a way for the lower official to survive. The lower official is very grateful!"

Seeing that Hong Qing was going to leave, Cao Yin became anxious. Although he was not very afraid of the impartial handling of the third master and his son, he had to think about the affairs behind him. Standing up, he stopped Hong Qing with a big stride, and begged anxiously.

"10 taels? Well, that's barely enough, so let's sign it like this."

10 taels is not a small sum. Even if the Cao family is rich, if they want to spend so much in two years, it will take a lot of effort. It is almost Cao Yin's minimum limit. It's not good to push too much, after all, Cao Yin has to cooperate with Cao Yin to perform the next scene, so it's not a good thing to make Cao Yin anxious.

"Ah, this, this, hehe, my little prince, please forgive me for being presumptuous, and how to deal with it in the future, please tell me clearly."

Cao Yin squeezed out the 10 taels of silver to the limit of his mind. It was really painful. How could he be led by the nose by Hong Qing before he figured out what Hong Qing was going to do? He asked shamelessly.

"Master Cao, don't worry, this matter is not too difficult to do, but it will require Mr. Cao to suffer a little bit of grievance. I wonder if Mr. Cao is willing to do it?"

Cao Yin was in a hurry, but Hong Qing was not in a hurry, and slowly began to raise conditions.

"This..., I would like to ask the little prince to make it clear that there is room for discussion."

Although Cao Yin was eager to get rid of the pressure of deficit, it was not his wish to ask him to pay a huge price. At this moment, seeing Hong Qing playing tricks there, he was really dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't want to. If he dared to reveal it, he could only discuss it with Hong Qing in a low voice.

"This matter is not difficult, when..., is Mr. Cao willing to do it?"

Hong Qing smiled, didn't waste any more words, stuck it to Cao Yin's ear, and began to remind Cao Yin carefully, until Cao Yin was dumbfounded.

"That's good, since the young prince won't give up, I'll just obey my orders!"

Cao Yin's expression changed for a long time, and he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, but in the end, he still couldn't bear the pressure of a huge deficit, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to Hong Qing's proposal.

"Okay, Mr. Cao is refreshing, then please sign this contract, and Ben Baylor can arrange one or two, Mr. Cao, please!"

As soon as Cao Yin agreed, Hong Qing was overjoyed, and without further delay, with a shake of her hands, she took out a long-drawn contract from her wide sleeve and handed it to Cao Yin.

"Okay, then it's settled, and I will ask the little prince to help me with everything!"

When the matter came to an end, although Cao Yin was hesitant, he still gritted his teeth and signed the contract, held it in both hands, and handed it to Hong Qing.
