Chapter 60 The ruthless Cai Mao

"This coach Qu, you are finally here!"

After fighting with the Yellow Turban Army for so long, Cai Mao also knew the division of positions in the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, he was arrested by Liu Zheng, so he naturally had a deep impression of Liu Zheng.

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng coming, he knew that if he wanted to survive, only Liu Zheng would speak and speak.

"This is Cai Mao, General Cai?"

Liu Zheng asked knowingly, and responded to Cai Mao in an inquiring tone.

Cai Mao nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, I'm Cai Mao."

"You come to me, what's the matter?"

Liu Zheng did not ask Cai Mao straight to the point, and about the matter of using money to redeem people, although he knew that Cai Mao came to him, he must have bought his life to spend money and wanted Liu Zheng to let him go.

But businessmen will not expose their bottom line from the beginning.

Even if Liu Zheng really wants to reach a deal with Cai Mao, he will not reveal it from the beginning.

This would not help him and Cai Mao bargaining.

Only when Cai Mao was very unhappy in his performance first would he spare no effort to survive and put in enough chips to let Liu Zheng let him go.

"Shis Coach Qu, I want to know what you want to do with us when you catch us here and imprison us, whether you want to give us a happy word. If you want to kill us, can you give us a happy way? If you just want to detain us, then it would be better to put this sentence on the table and say whether we have a chance to survive."

Cai Mao was actually not afraid of death, but was too frustrated by Liu Zheng in a dungeon like this. If Liu Zheng wanted to kill him, Cai Mao would have no complaints. After all, the defeated general was not qualified to talk about life and death.

So he just wanted to figure out what Liu Zheng's purpose was.

"I have no grudges and grudges with you. If I say I want to kill you, it is not necessary. But if I let you go like this, you are an official army after all, and I am born with an enemy relationship. If I let you go like this, I agree, and my subordinates may not agree."

Liu Zheng knew what Cai Mao meant, so he immediately responded to Cai Mao's words, and did not say that he had to kill Cai Mao and the others, so smart people should be able to hear from Liu Zheng's words that Liu Zheng was giving Cai Mao a step to the point of giving Cai Mao a ransom.

Sure enough, Cai Mao was a smart man. He heard what Liu Zheng said, and immediately showed a hint of joy on his face. He immediately asked Liu Zheng.

"So, Shuai Qu is willing to let me wait?"

"It's not impossible to let you go, it depends on whether you are up to the Tao."

Liu Zheng spoke again, this time he made his intention more obvious.

After spending many years in officialdom, Cai Mao naturally realized what Liu Zheng meant.

"If Shun Qu is willing to let me go, I am willing to take out five hundred golds to respect Shun Qu and many of his brothers."

When Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words, he quickly thought about it.

As far as he knows, in this era, gold and silver are not the main currency circulating.

Although gold is circulating, it is generally owned by high-ranking officials and nobles, while the currency owned by ordinary people is Wuzhu coins.

Wuzhu coins are actually what modern people usually call copper coins. They have a square hole in the outside. Because they have the word Wuzhu engraved on it, they are called Wuzhu coins.

One thousand five-zhu coins are also called Yiguan, or Yiguan.

As for gold and silver, the unit is calculated based on pounds, but the pounds at this time are different from those in modern times.

At this time, the pound was about half the weight of the modern pound.

As for the exchange ratio between gold and Wuzhu coins, Liu Zheng was actually not very clear. After all, he had never received gold. After struggling in this troubled world for so long, it was actually just a savings of Wuzhu coins.

But he heard that a single gold can be at least worth thousands of dollars.

Cai Mao said that he had five hundred gold coins. It is conceivable that this guy's family is still very rich.

You know, what does it mean when one person goes to a hotel to have a simple meal? It is only 30 yuan for five hundred gold?

I'm afraid five hundred gold is a money that many people will never make in their lifetime.

Although Liu Zheng was surprised to hear that Cai Mao was willing to spend so much money to make his acquaintances, Liu Zheng still pretended to be very dissatisfied.

"That's the point?"

Liu Zheng frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction.

When Cai Mao saw Liu Zheng's expression, he knew that Liu Zheng wanted to speak loudly, and he was just about to report the price to a higher place.

But when he heard Qin Jie angrily scolding him in the room opposite.

"Cai Mao, what are you doing? Are you trying to get the enemy? You coward, if you dare to pay for your life, I will definitely punish you!"

Qin Jie is not a person like Cai Mao who is greedy for life and fears death. When he saw that Cai Mao was willing to give money to the Yellow Turban Army in order to survive, he immediately shouted angrily.

Qin Jie's words made Liu Zheng, Cai Mao and others look ugly, and they turn around and look at Qin Jie.

"What a quarrel? It's not your turn yet. If you yell, your price will double later!"

Liu Zheng had no good expression on Qin Jie.

He immediately shouted at Qin Jie, but Qin Jie screamed even more fiercely.

"Bah, traitor, I will not give you a penny at all. If you want my life, you can take it at any time, but if you want me to give you money, I don't have to think about it. I would rather die than surrender."

Qin Jie still has backbone and seems not afraid of death, so he yelled at Liu Zheng in anger.

What he said made Cai Mao sweat coldly, but he sneered.

"Hmph, Qin Jie Prefect, you are not afraid of death. I am scared. If you die, the court will naturally appease your family. But if I die, our Cai family will decline in Jingzhou. So you can die, but I cannot die."

Cai Mao was originally very dissatisfied with Qin Jie, and the two of them had some gaps. At this time, Qin Jie angrily scolded Cai Mao, which made Cai Mao even more unhappy.

He finally waited for Liu Zheng to have a chance to let him have a chance to live. If Qin Jie was ruined, Cai Mao would cry.

So I immediately made my position with Qin Jie and wanted Liu Zheng to know that he and Qin Jie were not the same. Even if Liu Zheng wanted to blame him, he could only blame Qin Jie and would not involve him.

"Prefect Qin Jie, if you say this, you will have no use value to me. I can't say that I can only give you..."

Liu Zheng was halfway through his words and did not continue to say anything.

When Cai Mao heard what Liu Zheng meant, he immediately had an idea and immediately said something to Liu Zheng.

"This coach Qu, if you kill Qin Jie, I'm willing to spend two hundred extra gold!"

Cai Mao's words made Liu Zheng stunned and he immediately looked at Cai Mao in surprise.
