"Three thousand taels?" Qin Yining furrowed his brows and said in an unusual tone, "Are you going to hire thousands of soldiers and horses? Three thousand taels of silver is enough to feed an army. "
Guan Dahu raised his eyebrows. He was very displeased with Qin Yining's tone. However, the Four Links was a large business and the owner had the right to be arrogant. Moreover, this was a woman.
A good man doesn't fight with a woman.
Guan Dahu said, "How can there not be money for people and horses? Moreover, we are going to rob the Tatan's tribute convoy. We are facing real Tatan cavalry. If we aren't careful, we might even lose our lives. Even if we can't be responsible for their lives, we still have to give their families money, right? Moreover, there are many unexpected situations. Buying weapons and horses is also money. "
Speaking to this point, Guan Dahu took a sip of tea to moisten his hoarse throat. Ever since they came out of the desert, his hoarse voice had become even more hoarse.
"Moreover, we aren't taking the Four Links' money for free. Isn't this considered your investment? The more you invest, the more you will get when the matter is done. "
Qin Yining nodded in relief, "That's true."
Liu Ban lowered his head and curled his lips.
Not to mention that they would run away after they got the treasure, they wouldn't give the money to this b * tch. Even if they did give it to her, how could she join them in the "robbery"? How could she determine how much money there was in total?
This four-channel signal was most likely activated by luck, right? Or was there someone else in their family who was in charge and this b * tch was just a shield?
Liu Ban wasn't the only one who thought this. The others also thought the same. He felt that she was a woman after all. She was easy to fool.
Qin Yining noticed that the three of them were looking at her strangely. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. However, he put on an ambitious expression, "How about this, we'll do as you say. Three thousand taels. After you succeed, I want fifty percent of the profits."
Liu Ban frowned and said unhappily, "Fifty percent? You're asking for too much! Don't forget! The ones who are going to risk their lives are us brothers! You didn't do anything, yet you have the nerve to ask for fifty percent? "
Qin Yining, on the other hand, was calm and collected. He displayed the crafty side of a businessman to the fullest. "Don't forget, if I don't fork out this sum of money, you won't even have a 50% chance of winning."
These words caused Liu Ban to choke. The others were also speechless. They looked at Guan Dahu with questioning gazes.
Guan Dahu was a little annoyed by Qin Yining's arrogant attitude. But on second thought, as long as the Four Channels was willing to pay, their matter would be settled. If the Four Channels was unwilling to pay, they wouldn't even have the chance to hire the Blackwind Stockade.
What's more, whether it was fifty-fifty, thirty-seventy, forty-sixty, they didn't plan to give a single cent.
Thinking up to this point, Guan Dahu felt that Liu Ban was being too impulsive. He smiled and said, "You're right. How about this, we'll do as you said. After we're done, we'll split the profits equally. As for how much money we need to recruit soldiers, buy horses, and buy weapons, we'll deal with it ourselves. What do you think? "
"Good, good." Qin Yining clapped his hands and smiled. "In that case, I wish you all success in advance." He turned around and said to Zi Yuan, "Go and tell the shopkeeper to withdraw three thousand taels of silver."
Zi Yuan and Han Xiao, who were standing on the side, were stunned. When they were suddenly called, they came back to their senses. They quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, boss."
Then, they quickly walked out.
After waiting for a while, Zi Yuan came back with a thick stack of 100 taels of silver. She handed it to Qin Yining with both hands.
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand. He raised his chin and signaled her to give it to Guan Dahu.
Guan Dahu, Liu Ban, and the others' eyes were almost hanging on the silver. At this time, their eyes were shining and they were very excited.
Guan Dahu calmly took the silver, counted it, and put it away. Then, he stood up and said, "Good, Boss Qiu is very straightforward! Since you're happy, we're happy too. We'll immediately take action. When we get good news, we'll tell you! Goodbye! "
"Wait a minute." Qin Yining called out softly.
Guan Dahu and Liu Ban both frowned and looked at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining said, "Let's count the money clearly. Let's also write a written agreement. Let's go to the front desk and write a written agreement. "
Guan Dahu thought that no matter what they wrote, he wouldn't be able to return the money. It didn't matter whether they wrote a written agreement or not.
Therefore, he nodded without hesitation.
Qin Yining didn't say much. They went to the front and wrote down the amount clearly. The reason was that they were investing in a business. In the end, both sides signed and pressed their fingerprints.
Guan Dahu signed the agreement with the name "Li Dazhuang." Qin Yining signed the agreement with the name "Qiu Gui."
In any case, Boss Qiu was a woman. She couldn't casually reveal her maiden name. If she wrote something randomly, the other party wouldn't take it to heart since they were here to swindle her.
There were two copies of the agreement. Both sides carefully held them close to their chests.
Only then did Qin Yining say, "Then I congratulate Brother Li on your victory."
"Not a problem. Boss Qiu, please wait."
"Brothers, take care."
Qin Yining smiled as he sent them to the door.
Seeing the good men put on their bamboo hats and straw raincoats and quickly disappear into the rain, Qin Yining turned around and gave Tang Xiu, who was standing in the corner of the room, a look.
Tang Xiu immediately came over.
Qin Yining whispered into his ear, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. Don't alert them."
"Yes." Tang Xiu immediately nodded and went to make the arrangements.
Qin Yining, Head Shopkeeper Yin, and the others returned to the central room.
Head Shopkeeper Yin said, "Wangfei, what do you think these people are planning to do? Can they be trusted? "
Naturally, Qin Yining couldn't casually talk about the treasure. Just now, Ziyuan cleverly went to find Ji Yun and Bing Tang and used the money they brought. Therefore, Qin Yining wouldn't tell Head Shopkeeper Yin about the details. He only smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan for this matter. You just have to control your subordinates well and don't reveal my identity."
Head Shopkeeper Yin nodded repeatedly. How could he dare to talk nonsense? If he ruined Qin Yining's plan, it would be equivalent to offending Prince Zhongshun. If he offended Prince Zhongshun, wouldn't he offend his boss?
"Don't worry, including me, I will take good care of all the underlings and not reveal any secrets."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Yining rested for a while in Sitong Room. After Tang Xiu confirmed that there was no tail, he quietly returned to the inn.
Xie Yue had been waiting for Qin Yining for a long time.
When she saw Qin Yining coming back with his subordinates, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Wangfei, did everything go well today?"
"Everything went well. Everything was expected. " Qin Yining smiled and sat down at the head of the table. He told Xie Yue about what had happened today. Finally, he said, "I've already ordered people to follow them and see what they're going to do."
"In my opinion, what these people said about recruiting people should be true. They probably want to find more people to carry the stones."
Qin Yining nodded, "I think so too. Now, let's wait for the news first. It would be better if the Spies could see their specific plan clearly. "
Xie Yue smiled and said, "That's right."
Both of them laughed. Qin Yining then asked about the residence.
"We've already found one. The location of the house is pretty good. It's a two-sectioned residence. The original family only had an elderly couple and a few servants. They said that the entire family moved back to their hometown. They're not in a hurry to sell this residence, but if the price is right, they can sell it. When Wangfei is free, let's go take a look. "
"Okay. The residence that Sir Xie has his eyes on should be pretty good."
After Qin Yining and Xie Yue discussed, they went to wash their faces and wash off their disguises. Before washing their faces, they carefully observed their faces and even remembered the positions of the small moles.
At night, Jinghu Wei, who Tang Xiu had arranged to gather information, came back.
Qin Yining put on his clothes and came out to meet them.
"Wangfei. This subordinate followed that group of people. They took the money and ate a big meal at a restaurant. Then, they left the city before the city gates were closed and went straight to a famous mountain in the northwest. There's a stronghold on the mountain. It seems to be a bandit's nest. This subordinate followed them from afar and did not let them discover our tracks. However, in order to avoid alerting them, we did not follow them. When we came back, we took the opportunity to ask for water from the scattered poor families nearby. That stronghold is called Heifeng Stronghold. There are about a hundred good men in that stronghold. They usually rob the rich and don't care about helping the poor. However, their appetite is also very big. They even rob the poor. "
"So those people went to contact Heifeng Stronghold?"
"Should be."
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "It's been hard on you. I've asked them to heat up some chicken soup for you on the stove. Since you're tired now, ask them to cook noodles for you. Go and wash up first. The noodles will be sent over in a while. "
Jinghu Wei had followed Qin Yining for a long time. When he heard this, he did not stand on ceremony. He grinned and said, "Thank you, Wangfei." He cupped his hands and left.
Bing Tang then went to the stove to cook.
Qin Yining draped his clothes over himself and hugged a hot water bottle. He sat on the edge of the bed with Ji Yun.
Ji Yun said in a low voice, "Wangfei, do you think those people took the money to cooperate with the people in Heifeng Stronghold?"
Qin Yining nodded, "It must be. The treasure is hidden very deep. Without manpower, they can't steal the stones. They must have used another set of excuses when they went to Heifeng Stronghold. For example, they wanted to cause trouble for the imperial court. They only said that they hired the good men on the mountain to help steal the stones for the Emperor's mausoleum to vent their anger. "
Ji Yun nodded and said, "They used the excuse of robbing the Tatan. The mountain bandits of Heifeng Stronghold are living well. Who would be willing to fight with the Tatans?"
"That's right." Qin Yining smiled and nodded. Then, a hint of worry appeared between his brows.
Ji Yun saw this and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Wangfei? Everything is going according to your plan. Isn't this good? "
