"What method?" Shen Pinglong asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and handed over the pen, ink, and paper. "I've already told Master Shen in the carriage that my master is coming back soon and is a little anxious. So you just need to show your sincerity. I can ask someone to raise some money."
Shen Pinglong understood.
But because he understood, his expression became even uglier. He gritted his teeth and looked at the middle-aged man: "Is this your idea? Or your master's? Does your master know that you treat his partner like this?"
The middle-aged man smiled.
Even the servant standing behind him raised a sarcastic smile.
Shen Pinglong was furious: "What are you laughing at!"
"Master Shen said something wrong."
The middle-aged man's smile gradually faded, his eyes becoming fierce. "As my master, you are at most a 'dog' in front of him. If this dog doesn't obey, do you think my master will just replace it with another one?"
"you……"
"Master Shen, I have a piece of advice for you. You'd better be more sensible. After all, in Yujiang, the Shen family is not the only one who can accomplish great things for my master."
Shen Pinglong’s face flushed red.
But he soon thought of something and suddenly laughed, "Oh! Impossible! Without our Shen family acting as a bridge, your master wouldn't be able to buy those weapons from Mr. Qi, let alone meet him in person."
"Not to mention, in Yujiang, my Shen family is one of the four major families. Without our Shen family's mediation, the other three families will definitely not fully support your master."
Today's Yujiang River.
Without the suppression of King Yujiang.
Several of their families are the local tyrants.
Even the current emperor couldn't do anything to them, let alone this insignificant King Cheng...
If Shen Pinglong was not unwilling to be one of the four major families and wanted to be the king of Yujiang, why would he reach an agreement with King Cheng...
Thinking of this, Shen Pinglong rolled up his sleeves, revealing the red dot that had extended to his elbow. "See? I'm poisoned. Without 250,000 taels, I won't survive tonight. If I die, your master won't get what he wants."
The middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.
After seemingly thinking for a moment, he pushed the paper, pen and ink forward a little.
In a compromising tone, he said, "Master Shen, please don't embarrass me. You know, 250,000 is not a small amount. If you don't show any appreciation, I won't be able to explain to my master."
"Please write me an IOU, so that I can at least give an explanation to my master."
At this time, middle-aged people changed their self-proclaimed name to "little one".
Shen Pinglong snorted, but finally picked up the pen and quickly wrote out an IOU.
Sign your name and leave your private seal.
"Hurry up!"
The middle-aged man took it, looked at it, and stood up with a smile: "Okay, then Mr. Shen, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to raise money right away."
After saying that, the middle-aged man told the servant beside him to serve him, and he went into the inner room with the IOU.
There is a secret door in the backyard.
Direct access to next door.
"Miss, I've figured it out. King Cheng wants the Shen family of Yujiang to help him buy some weapons from a man called Master Qi. He also wants the Shen family to convince the other families of Yujiang to support him."
The middle-aged man said as he handed over the IOU.
Yang Zhao took it and glanced at it, then turned his head to signal Dong Shuang, and Dong Shuang immediately handed him a box of silver bills.
"From what Chen Pinglong said, it seems that he is the only one who can contact Mr. Qi. Do you want me to find a way to get his contact information?" The middle-aged man asked after taking the box.
Yang Zhao shook his head: "No need."
She looked at the IOU in her hand, the corners of her lips curled up. "I can't force him to tell the truth now, and we can't be sure whether what he forces out is true or false. If we reveal any flaws, it will alert the enemy."
"Wait half an hour, then give him the banknote and let him go."
"After he returns, the shop can be closed."
"yes."
After the middle-aged man left.
Yang Zhao handed the IOU to Dong Shuang who was standing beside him and said to her, "Have someone take this IOU to Yujiang and ask the mistress of the Shen family to collect the debt. Just say..."
…
Shen Pinglong hurried back to the inn.
"Divine doctor, here are two hundred and one thousand taels. Please help me detoxify and save my son."
On the way back, Shen Pinglong took out 40,000 taels.
The old man lying on the couch heard this and sat up. He took the box, counted the banknotes inside, and grinned: "Not bad, not bad. It's fast enough. We can still save them."
The old man stuffed the banknotes into his arms and took out a black pill from his pocket. "It's for detoxification. Take it."
Shen Pinglong hurriedly caught it.
The black balls are very big.
It is a circle larger than two thumbs.
"Swallow it directly without chewing, the detoxification effect will be better."
When Shen Pinglong heard this, he stuffed the meatball into his mouth and swallowed it, almost choking and rolling his eyes.
After swallowing it, he quickly rolled up his sleeves.
"Miraculous doctor, why hasn't this red spot gone away? Instead, it's even redder."
Shen Pinglong stared at the red spot on his arm in horror, it looked so red it could bleed. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he began to feel a burning sensation all over his body.
"I forgot to mention that if you want to completely expel this poison from you, you'll need... women, lots of women."
