"You, you, you..." Zheng Zhibao pointed at Liu Ruyi's face tremblingly, but could not say a word.
He was really confused!
Although he had imagined countless possibilities and made a lot of preparations when he came to meet with Liu Ruyi, he never expected that Liu Ruyi would be so direct, so simple, and crude, with no room for maneuver at all.
Let him release the ship!
You know, Mr. Zheng Sanye is definitely a well-known figure on the southeast coast and in the Nanyang area. How has he ever been beaten back to his original form in just a few words like he is today?
"General Liu, you~, don't bully others too much! Our Zheng family is not so easy to mess with!" It took Zheng Zhibao a long time to catch his breath, and he stared into Liu Ruyi's eyes and threatened in a dark voice.
road.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing, "Third Master, are you so angry? Our Caishi Army and your Zheng family are on a par with each other! If the Zheng family wants to negotiate business with our Caishi Army, then I
Welcome! But if you are as unreasonable as Mr. San, then~~~don’t blame me, Mr. Liu, for being cruel!"
By the end of Liu Ruyi's words, her tone was as cold as ice!
Although Zheng Zhibao is arrogant, he also knows that his confidence all comes from his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong! But the man in front of him is a powerful man with a lot of troops. His network of relationships in the Ming Dynasty is so complicated that he can cover the sky with one hand.
, far from being comparable to their Zheng family!
If, if he was really offended to death by this matter, then~ Zheng Zhibao would not be able to explain to his eldest brother!
However, seeing Liu Ruyi's tough attitude, Zheng Zhibao felt that he bowed his head so easily, and he really couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart!
He grabbed the wine bottle on the table, drank a few big sips, and with the strength of the wine on his head, he said to Liu Ruyi: "General Liu, if you want me to release the ship, that's fine! But you have to offer it.
One hundred thousand taels of silver to compensate us for our losses from coming all the way! Otherwise, just don’t talk about it!”
Zheng Zhibao was actually scared in his heart. He was afraid of offending Liu Ruyi, but he didn't want to lose the face of Mr. Zheng in front of his subordinates, so he acted like a pirate, hoping that Liu Ruyi would pay some money to turn this thing away.
The matter is resolved like this!
After all, Liu Ruyi's one hundred ships cost at least more than one million taels of silver. He only took a small amount, and he was able to account for all aspects!
And given the Zheng family's status in the southeastern coastal area, in doing so, Zheng Zhibao has actually made considerable concessions!
You know, if other people buy boats privately like Liu Ruyi, then the Zheng family will definitely fight with them to death!
But who is Liu Ruyi?
How could he be fooled by Zheng Zhibao's little trick?
Liu Ruyi was able to build such a huge foundation as today's Caishi Army because he was ruthless and ruthless. He put his head in his belt and led his brothers to fight for the world with their lives! But now, Zheng Zhibao is like this,
Isn't this "Lu Ban wields a big ax in front of the gate, and Guan Gong wields a big sword in front of him?"
"Third Master, what do you mean by your words?" Liu Ruyi looked into Zheng Zhibao's eyes. He was not as angry as he imagined. After countless storms, Liu Ruyi's thoughts had already changed.
I won’t make big ups and downs over such trivial things again!
"Liu, please stop talking nonsense! I will send someone here to collect the money at noon tomorrow! Otherwise, you will wait for your ship to be burned to ashes!" After Zheng Zhibao finished speaking, he walked quickly without looking back.
leave.
He was really scared. If he continued talking to Liu Ruyi like this, he was afraid that Liu Ruyi would drive him crazy!
Liu Ruyi looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but reveal a sneer at the corner of her mouth!
Originally, Liu Ruyi did not want to have a conflict with the Zheng family so early, but now it seems that this conflict is inevitable!
"Brother, this Zheng family is really arrogant! They dare to be so arrogant towards us! Not to mention the people along the coast!" Outside Suzhou City, in Liu Ruyi's camp, Huo Lang was a little aggrieved.
The way!
"Young Master, why should we be polite to these pirates? Why don't we just stop doing it and let them have a taste of our methods! It's better for these three leopards to have a long memory!" Xiao Liu'er's anger is also right.
Prosperous!
Liu Ruyi didn't speak, but looked at Chun Wa beside her, "Chun Wa, what do you think?"
"General! I humbly serve as the general's vanguard and capture Zheng Zhibao, a bastard, alive in front of the general!" Chunwa knelt down and said.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "I'll leave this matter to Chun Wa and Hui Deng! Remember, be clean and don't hurt his life!"
"Yes!" Chunwa was overjoyed, kowtowed respectfully, and hurriedly got up and left.
Looking at Chun Wa's leaving figure, Xiao Liu'er said dissatisfied: "Young master, why don't you let me do this job! I will definitely catch the three leopards for the young master!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Tonight, we have more important things to do! Liu'er, Huolang, please clean up, and we will go to Suzhou City for dinner tonight!"
As night falls, the city of Suzhou is lit up like a rainbow, making it even more lively than during the day.
The streets on both sides were full of vendors selling various items, and the older girls and younger wives who had been bored at home all day also took advantage of this time to come out and have some fun.
As the saying goes, 'There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!'
Suzhou City was originally a treasure in the land of China. As early as hundreds of years ago, in Zhang Shicheng's era, it was already extremely prosperous. After nearly three hundred years of development during the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou City is even better than before. Now, four places in the Ming Dynasty
The war did not affect the prosperity of this ancient city, but made it have a abnormal prosperity!
Liu Ruyi took Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang and slowly walked through the streets and alleys, quietly experiencing the heritage of this ancient city.
Although Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang have followed Liu Ruyi for many years and have killed countless people and seen all kinds of big scenes, the comfort and prosperity of Suzhou City made them a little overwhelmed.
Everything I look at feels fresh!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, "If the world is peaceful in the future, how about we come here to live in peace?"
The two of them nodded together, and Xiao Liuer said: "Young Master, when will our Caishi Town be able to have such a large scale?"
Liu Ruyi patted Xiao Liu'er's head angrily, "Can this fucking thing compare? Suzhou's thousand-year-old ancient city, our Caishi Town, has only developed a few years ago? Let's go, you must be hungry too!
I’ll take you to have a big dinner!”
As soon as they heard about eating, they both became energetic and hurriedly followed Liu Ruyi!
Although both of them are different from what they were in the past, in front of Liu Ruyi, they still retain their original innocence!
~~~~~~
After a lot of twists and turns and asking several people, Liu Ruyi took Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang to a street lined with restaurants.
"Zou's Restaurant!"
Liu Ruyi came to a small restaurant, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Yes, it should be here! Come on, let's go in and try this restaurant's craftsmanship!"
The restaurant is very small, with only four or five tables, but the decoration is very exquisite. It seems that the owner is also a thoughtful person!
But maybe the store is too small. It was lunch time and there were not many customers in the store!
The three of Liu Ruyi sat down at a table. Liu Ruyi said with a smile: "Boss, what are your specialties? Just bring it up! By the way, ten kilograms of cooked mutton! Twenty steamed buns!"
"Come on, sir, don't wait here!" The shopkeeper trotted out quickly and took out plates and chopsticks for Liu Ruyi and the others.
But when the shopkeeper saw Liu Ruyi's face clearly, his hands suddenly trembled, and the plates and chopsticks were scattered on the floor, "Ruyi, you, why are you here?"
The shopkeeper was so happy that he quickly held Liu Ruyi's hand and burst into tears!
Liu Ruyi smiled, hurriedly pulled him to sit aside, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for many years, are you still in good health?"
This person is none other than Liu Ruyi’s mother Zou’s biological brother and Liu Ruyi’s biological uncle, Zou Dabao!
When Liu Ruyi escaped from the Liu Mansion, her mother, Zou, wanted to take Liu Ruyi to join him, buy some fertile land, and live a stable life!
But obviously, Liu Ruyi did not comply with Zou's wish, but instead embarked on a bloody road!
However, now that Liu Ruyi's career has basically stabilized, Zou is no longer as worried as before!
"Ruyi, I heard that you weren't fighting in Sichuan? Why, how did you come here? Hey! You kid, you didn't even say anything in advance. Fortunately, our family runs a restaurant, so I'll let your cousin,
Let me prepare some good dishes for you!"
After Zou Dabao finished speaking, he hurried to the kitchen and shouted: "Xiaobao, come out quickly. Come and see who is here?"
After a while, a slim girl wearing a chef's outfit walked out of the kitchen and said dissatisfied: "Dad, what are you yelling about! Don't you know they are stewing vegetables?"
But when she saw Liu Ruyi's face, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in horror. After a moment, she threw herself into Liu Ruyi's arms and cried: "Cousin, is it really you? Me,
I thought that when you became rich, you would forget about our poor relatives!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, but in her mind, she remembered that time, a little girl with a runny nose, holding a piece of sweet cake, followed her buttocks, and said in a milky voice: "Cousin, if you give it to me every day in the future,
Buy some sweet cakes and I will marry you!"
"Silly girl, why are you crying! Didn't I come to see you and uncle?" Liu Ruyi smiled, patted her head, helped her aside and sat down!
