After being silent for a while, Wang Yanyan raised her head. At this moment, she finally understood the person in front of her.
This person doesn't care much about reputation, let alone what Wang Pang said. He cares about his own face. What this person cares about is his own interests. Whether it is said that he will retaliate for his anger or that he will kill as a warning to others, it is obvious that the other party is determined.
In order to bring this situation back, no one thought that the root cause of this matter was the Cao Gang's robbery of merchant ships.
Maybe it would have been better if she had not chosen the cargo robbery from Sihai Trading Company. Suddenly, she felt a trace of regret in her heart.
"They are not in Yangzhou!" Wang Yanyan said bitterly after looking at Qian Wubing.
"It doesn't matter if we're not in Yangzhou. As long as we're in the Ming Dynasty, I'm really not worried about your people getting away!" Qian Wubing replied nonchalantly. When it comes to taking people, that's Jin Yiwei's specialty.
Well, this is really not a big deal. The Cao Gang abandoned these people, and he went all over the world to claim these people. These people are in panic all day long like bereft dogs, and it is even more relieving than simply capturing them now and sending them to prison.
"Now, I'm afraid we're no longer in Ming Dynasty!" Wang Yanyan risked her life, but the other party refused to give up. She simply let the other party give up: "At this time, I'm afraid they have already set sail to the sea!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Qian Wubing's expression froze, but also the expressions of Qi Heng and other Jin Yiwei who had been staring at Wang Yanyan eagerly became particularly strange.
"Having gone to sea, you are no longer in the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" Qian Wubing seemed to be in disbelief, and confirmed it again.
Wang Yanyan was a little satisfied, but she sneered in her heart. Now, you have nothing to do!
"Well, please write down the names of these people for me. We will deal with this matter when it comes up!" Qian Wubing said to Qi Heng: "I'll take care of you with writing!"
Rubbing her sore wrist, Wang Yanyan wrote down a personal name. The room was quiet, eerily quiet.
After a while, Wang Yanyan handed the written paper to Qian Wubing's hand. Qian Wubing glanced at it: "There were only about twenty people. I remember that there were more than just this number of people that night!"
"Can the commander call all the subordinates outside this room by their names?" Wang Yanyan retorted: "I'm afraid you can only remember their names clearly if you are close to them!"
"That's right!" Qian Wubing nodded, agreed to this statement, blew the wet ink on the paper, and handed the paper to Qi Heng: "Put it away, and give it to Olivia when you see her later.
Leave this matter to her!"
Wang Yanyan didn't know who this Olivia Qian Wubing was talking about, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seemed a little unreasonable to pass the matter like this, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment.
.This person has such a mentality. When Qian Wubing refused to let her go, she felt that the other party was not broad-minded enough. However, if the other party just took it away so lightly, she felt that there must be some conspiracy, and even felt that she had been cheated.
when.
"Okay, we have finally solved the problems of your subordinates!" Qian Wubing clapped his hands, "Let's talk about you!"
"I said, I'll let you do whatever you want, as long as you don't go back on your word!" Wang Yanyan raised her chin slightly: "The words spoken by us Jianghu children are not as unreliable as the words spoken by the officials in the imperial court. We all spit on them one by one.
!”
"Su Su, you said she should be dealt with!" Qian Wubing tilted his head and looked at his personal maid.
Su Su blinked her big eyes, with an innocent look on her face. Didn't the master already know what she wanted to do with this woman? Why did the master ask me again at this time?
"Let's do this!" Qian Wubing laughed, "You tell yourself how I should deal with you!"
Now that Wang Yanyan is here, she has given up the idea of protecting herself. No matter whether Qian Wubing puts her in jail or simply executes her, as long as Caogang can be saved, she will not complain much. However, let her do what the other party wants.
It is really difficult to ask someone to tell me how to deal with him.
Therefore, when faced with such a question, she really didn't know how to respond other than to remain silent.
"Tonight, I have wronged you!" Qian Wubing thought for a while, "Let's talk about this matter until tomorrow's main text. Anyway, there is no rush. You will have a chance to regret it at this moment!"
He looked at Wang Yanyan: "If tomorrow, a lot of money is delivered, I will pretend that this thing never happened. Otherwise, not only you will be unlucky, but everyone in your Cao Gang will have to face the Jinyiwei."
anger!"
Qi Heng and others took the silent Wang Yanyan down. As for where she would be detained tonight and how many people would be guarding her, there was no need to worry about such matters. Instead, they would wait until everyone in the room was gone.
Qian Wubing let out a laugh before he laughed out loud: "This woman is indeed a responsible person, but she's just a little stupid!"
"Master, how stupid is she? I think she is quite cunning. She knows that I have a good heart and is pretending to be pitiful in front of him. Master, you won't really let her go tomorrow!" Su Su curled her lips and said.
"Let her go, haha..." Qian Wubing laughed, "Let's wait until tomorrow!"
…
When Wang Pan saw Qian Wubing again, Tang San was followed behind him, and Tang San was holding a huge cloth bag in his bulging hands.
But this time, there was no banquet, and there was no friendly envoy to greet them at the door. From the Caobang Headquarters to here, they saw too many Jinyiwei along the way, so that these Jinyiwei with cold and solemn faces,
When they were brought into the house, they didn't react much. A lamb had been washed and placed on the chopping board to be slaughtered. No matter whether the butcher was a novice or an experienced butcher who had killed countless lambs, it didn't matter to them.
That being said, there is not much difference.
"Here are 800,000 taels of banknotes from four bank accounts that are payable on sight!" Wang Pan put the cloth bag in Tang San's hand on the table. When he came in, the Jin Yiwei had already checked their belongings in detail.
He was not worried about Qian Wubing's reaction.
"These are the land deeds of some Hengcheng properties purchased by our Caobang in Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places. Mr. Qian can find an accountant who is familiar with these prices to calculate the market price. The market price is about 1.6 million taels. Caobang
Raising two million in cash in one day is not an easy task. Your Excellency's subordinates are looking closely at Caobang. Even borrowing money from some good merchants is not very convenient.
If your Excellency agrees, these land and house deeds will be discounted to 1.2 million taels. I respect you, Your Excellency. If you find it troublesome, please give Caobang another three or two days to sell these things and get cash!"
"There should also be some stolen money here from the cargo ships that robbed my Sihai Trading Company's merchants!" Qian Wubing fiddled with the paper on the table and asked lightly.
Wang Pan was so overwhelmed by the official authority that he could hardly speak. The young Jin Yiwei who was laughing, eating, drinking and talking to him that day had a serious look on his face. He actually had such authority. He could only lament that he was alive.
After a lifetime, when I am getting old, I actually made a mistake this time.
"I'll keep the banknotes. You take these messy things back!" Qian Wubing saw that he didn't answer and didn't care. "I'm just asking for justice, and I'm not trying to take away your property. This matter is yours."
The Cao Gang did something wrong first, Gang Leader Wang, do you want to admit it or not?"
"That's true!" Wang Pan nodded. When people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads. He understands this more deeply than anyone else.
"However, I said that two million taels cannot be less than one tael. This cannot be ignored. I don't care whether you sell the property or borrow it. After all, the remaining 1.2 million taels
, and it will be sent to Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard within one month, no problem!"
"No problem!" Wang Pan nodded.
"Don't ask me why we sent it there?" Qian Wubing asked.
"My lord must have your lord's intentions, how can ordinary people figure it out!?"
"If you send this money, you have to have a name. Let's just say that the Cao Gang is worried about the war in the southwest and donated 1.2 million silver to the court as military supplies!" Qian Wubing pointed him out: "These
The money will be used by the Longjiang Shipyard to build warships for the navy. Your Cao Gang will also gain a good reputation. Later, I will give a report to the court. The court will give some praise. The Cao Gang will be better in water transportation in the future.
The errands are more or less helpful!"
"Everything is at your command!" Wang Pan said with a bitter taste in his mouth. This was the legendary method of giving a sweet date with a stick. Seeing how the other party was so skillful in this method, how could he mistakenly think that he was just a person?
Thousands of households.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!" Qian Wubing sighed: "However, I want to remind you that if this happens again, it will not be a matter of two million silver. I, Qian, will
Even if you take money, you will kill people. If you can't stop your greed and behead dozens or hundreds of people, I will never be lenient!"
"Sir, you are magnanimous. Caobang will never get involved in such illegal things again!"
"Wang Yanyan and his subordinates, well, I got the roster. These people will never have anything to do with your Cao Gang from now on!" Qian Wubing said again: "I let your Cao Gang go, but these people
I can't let it go, you should know it!"
"My daughter just doesn't know the truth. If she knew that the master was driving a tiger that day, and given her the courage, she wouldn't dare to offend the master..."
"If you keep talking like that, believe it or not, I won't even let the Cao gang go?" Qian Wubing snorted: "You will have to bear the consequences of what you sow. Isn't this the truth when you get older?
You still don’t understand? Or are you trying to force me to find the person behind this?"
Wang Pan suddenly fell silent.
Qian Wubing looked at him again and saw that he was completely silent, and then he said leisurely: "Not to mention that Wang Yanyan surrendered herself last night and confessed all the facts about her intention to assassinate the imperial official. Are you sure you can kill such a person?"
