Chapter 71 Contemporary Heartthrob
Nie Yao only cares about money and not people.
Even though Lin Guizheng assured him that the emperor's grandson would implement benevolent policies and improve people's livelihood after he ascended the throne, he still refused to give in.
The promises are all empty.
Only the money you get is real.
Lin Guizheng couldn't convince him with words, so he had no choice but to agree to Nie Yao's conditions first.
"I will give you 100 million taels first, and I will pay the rest after the matter is completed."
"It seems that Sun Ji didn't explain it to you clearly."
There is no such thing as down payment and final payment in Nie Yao's business. If he says he wants full payment, it means full payment.
Three hundred million, not a penny less.
Otherwise, no troops will be sent.
"Nie Yao, don't go too far!" Lin Guizheng was unwilling to give Nie Yao so much money, even if he really had it.
"Did I bully you?" Nie Yao refused to admit it. "Is it because Master Lin's eyes are blurry and he can't see clearly? I have been in jail the whole time and have done nothing. And you, on the other hand, are begging me for cooperation."
He has a very poisonous tongue.
Lin Guizheng, who had always been respected, was so angry that his beard was flying.
"Okay!" Lin Gui was mentally sentencing Nie Yao to death, waiting for his dream to come true and be executed immediately. With no other options, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Nie Yao's terms.
Nie Yao gave him a month, and as soon as the money arrived, he would go to the border to mobilize troops.
"I hope Master Lin won't try to play tricks on me. If the amount of silver doesn't match, I'll still be angry."
"Just wait!"
Lin Guizheng swung his sleeves heavily and left the prison in anger.
He was gone for a few days.
The leader of the Yuan Kingdom's envoys, their Prince Duan, also came to visit Nie Yao.
The reason was that he had some friendship with Nie Yao, so he wanted to give him something.
It's not good for a person to be too popular, because everyone will try to get close to him.
Nie Yao crossed his legs.
The arrogant attitude is no different from before.
He treated everyone who came to see him in prison equally and refused to give anyone a good face.
"Brother Nie."
Prince Yuan Guoduan expressed his concern for Nie Yao's quality of life after being imprisoned in an approachable tone, and brought him a bunch of valuables as gifts.
Because of his generosity, Nie Yao treated him much better.
At least he got out of bed on his own initiative.
"Brother Duan, what do you want from me?"
Prince Duan is forty years old, thirteen years older than Nie Yao, and his surname is not Duan!
With such a provocative name, no one would believe that he didn't mean it.
Prince Duan was almost driven to collapse by Nie Yao's poisonous mouth. Fortunately, he had heard that Nie Yao was not an easy person to deal with, so he prepared himself mentally before coming.
Having prepared himself mentally, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Brother Nie, you've been busy these days." Prince Duan came in through formal channels, so there were almost no time restrictions.
He began to chat with Nie Yao about family matters.
Even if Nie Yao ignored him, he could still smile and continue chattering.
"Okay. Just say whatever you want to say. Don't talk nonsense." Nie Yao lost interest in him after opening the gift and impatiently asked him to say what he wanted to say.
If you have nothing to do, just get out of here.
"Lord Nie, haven't I been talking to you about something?" Prince Yuan Guoduan pretended to be stupid and said that he was just visiting a friend.
There is no other purpose.
No one believes this.
Nie Yao scoffed, "Have you finished reading? Let's go then."
He ordered them to leave.
Prince Duan was not angry. He smiled good-naturedly and left.
In the following days, he often came to visit, and each time he would bring some expensive gifts, creating the illusion that he had a good relationship with Nie Yao.
"Send me some gold next time."
Nie Yao had already figured out his purpose, so he ordered dishes without hesitation, "Send more, I like a higher bed."
He actually wants to build a bed with gold?!
He is worthy of being the number one corrupt official in Dayu.
"I was inconsiderate." Nie Yao said loudly, but Prince Duan was not angry. "If I had known that the young general liked gold and silver, I should have prepared more when I set off."
He looked contrite.
I also felt that I had put enough bait and there was no need to waste any more fish food.
"It's a pity that I didn't prepare so much gold for this mission to Dayu." He said that he had no money and even if he wanted to make a golden bed for Nie Yao, he was unable to do so.
Want to get away with it without even losing a single layer of skin?
Nie Yao sneered.
"It seems that Prince Duan does not intend to return to Yuan Country in one piece."
"Brother Nie, what do you mean?"
"Don't understand?" Nie Yao kindly translated for him, "If you don't pay, I'll kill you. Do you understand now?"
When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys.
Besides, they haven't fought yet!
Prince Duan couldn't laugh anymore. He asked sullenly, "Major General Nie, do you want to start a war with my Yuan Nation?"
"Isn't that obvious enough?"
Nie Yao smiled maliciously, "I've been here for so long, I'm a little tired of it, I want to go out for a walk."
As for how to get out?
Create war.
As long as the two countries were at war, the emperor would have to use the Nie family. In this way, the initiative in the negotiations would fall into their hands.
"Since your home is far away, I'll give you ten days." Nie Yao blatantly demanded a bribe. "If you don't send me five million taels of gold in ten days, my army stationed outside the city will have a serious talk with you."
"Don't worry, they are not as busy as me and have plenty of time."
Don’t you like chatting about family matters?
I'll let you say it all at once!
Look how kind he is.
Nie Yao opened the door of the cell and walked out. He quickly killed the guards brought by Prince Duan and put a dagger on his neck.
A blood mark of neither deep nor shallow was left.
"Do you understand? Killing you is easy for me."
Prince Duan was confused.
I don’t understand what these Yu people are doing. They can’t even lock up a person!
He was a little panicked because his life was threatened. But then he thought, what Nie Yao wanted was gold. Where would he get the gold if he killed him?
Only then did he calm down.
He questioned Nie Yao: "Aren't you afraid that I will complain to Emperor Yu?"
"You think I'm scared?"
The warning was enough, Nie Yao took back the dagger and told him to go ahead and file a complaint.
He's not afraid anyway.
Nie Yao said: "As long as my father is still in charge of 900,000 people, he won't dare to touch me!"
Nie Yao’s inner thoughts: Haha, my wife would never do anything to me, she couldn’t even bear to scold me!
He suddenly laughed, full of anger.
Prince Duan was quite frightened.
"I understand." No matter what, he agreed to the matter first and then slowly negotiated after he got out. "Within ten days, I will send the gold."
He acted very sincerely and asked Nie Yao if he could make up for the lack of gold with silver of equal value.
"Can."
Nie Yao said tolerantly, "If silver is not enough, then you can use valuable items to pay off the debt."
I don't know if this tactic of sowing discord will work, but I've ended up in debt.
If I had known this, I would not have come to this prison!
Prince Duan was secretly annoyed.
As soon as I left the cell, I began to think about how I could have avoided such a huge loss of property.
