"Obviously you guessed that I have no reason to refuse such a condition, right?"
Modo did not expect that the person in front of him could come up with such a method when he was in such a difficult situation. It was indeed not easy. It seemed that the little emperor who was talking to him at that time was still very difficult to defeat him. This imperial uncle.
Shen Qianshan did not do anything with taxes. For Modo now, the two-tier tax is still a lot. However, in order for him to accept this reality, Shen Qianshan did still lose some, but But he solved the matter in another way.
Although Shopkeeper Sun, who had been living nearby, was always at the table, ever since the letter appeared, he began to wonder what they were talking about. As the only civilian at the table, he could not speak rashly. After asking, I could only sit quietly aside. It was indeed not as good as when I was next to him before. In this way, I felt like I was being plotted.
"You are quite smart." Modo made such an inexplicable statement, and everyone at the table felt that something was wrong. Shopkeeper Sun saw this situation and knew that Shen Qianshan had probably come up with something to make both ends meet. This method can make Modo's expression in front of him soothed so much.
"If sir doesn't mean anything to this matter, it's better to just decide it like this. As long as sir agrees with everything written here, this matter can continue, whether it's for you or me, this matter It's all beneficial and harmless. Mr. Xiang has been in business for so many years, so he doesn't even understand this simple truth." As Shen Qianshan spoke, he kept looking at Shopkeeper Sun beside him. He wanted to. What he wants to do is actually very clear. He has always been the matchmaker between Modo and Shen Zhongbai. In other words, the reason why shopkeeper Sun can stay here for so long is because of his ability to do business. He is not as good as Gusu Liang, but he can still occupy a place in the capital, simply because the person behind him is actually Shen Zhongbai.
Modo is also a businessman. He will not be able to understand such a hint in front of him. Hearing him say this, he will be more or less suspicious of Shopkeeper Sun. In addition, a few days ago, he deliberately Dragging myself to a place like Yuhua Building, now that I think about it, this matter is indeed of no benefit to me at all. Although there is no harm in it, but thinking about it now, it is indeed that I have been used as a weapon by others.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet someone like the prince in this place. Since you have already made such an offer, I seem to have no reason to refuse. Such an offer is indeed very tempting. "
Modo finally put away the contemptuous smile on his face and began to re-examine the young man in front of him. Now it seems that this young man has an extraordinary appearance, which is completely different from the situation he imagined before. It's no wonder that when I made the wrong news before, most of the news I heard about Prince Shen Qianshan was complimentary. Maybe I didn't believe it before, but now I completely believe it.
Even in the face of such great pressure, even under attack from both sides, he could still handle such a big thing very well, which actually made him somewhat unexpected.
"If that's the case, ask Mr. trouble to sign the document, and you and I will leave a token for each other. Mr. Gu and Shopkeeper Sun are also present to testify for the two of us, and we can settle this matter like this. "
Shen Qianshan still had a calm smile on the surface, but in fact he felt relieved. To be honest, when facing the person in front of him, he was really under a lot of pressure. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Although I knew that Gusu Liang had already arranged people outside the door, and even if he really took action, he would not necessarily lose, he still didn't expect that this matter could be solved so easily.
"Okay, I like cheerful people like you. In that case, prepare pen and paper."
Shopkeeper Sun has been sitting next to him, and he is a little confused at this time. But looking at the current situation, it seems that this matter has been finalized. Although I don’t know what the content of this document is, but Obviously, this time the emperor wanted to use this opportunity to suppress the Ninth Prince, but it seemed that there was no way to succeed.
Although Shopkeeper Sun said he was a little dissatisfied, he still didn't feel comfortable on the surface. He didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to honestly ask his subordinates to help them prepare paper and pens.
After Shen Qianshan and Gu Huaian got the signed documents, they naturally left happily. However, Modo and shopkeeper Sun who stayed here still felt a little embarrassed to be together. Modo had already understood Chu clearly understood that shopkeeper Sun had actually been using him. Although he had not caused any substantial harm to himself so far, it was obvious that he was still being used by people like them after he had been in business for many years. Although he had not thought about it yet How should I speak, but it is definitely impossible for the person in front of me to be friends.
"Sir, what is the content of the document just now? Why did you agree so readily to the 20% tax?" After all, shopkeeper Sun will still have some doubts about the situation just now. After all, for such a situation, Modo's emotional changes just now were a bit too big, and it was really unpredictable.
"It's nothing, it's just that he arranged a place for us to stay in the capital, which saved us a lot of things and a lot of money. We don't do such good things in vain." Modo said to the woman around him. There was no good tone, but I still briefly told him the contents of the letter just now. Shopkeeper Sun actually understood in his heart that Shen Qianshan's ability to help handle such a big matter was enough to prove his ability. Sincerely, even if the tax is a little more, it will not affect anything at all.
Moreover, in what Shen Qianshan said just now, he was actually hinting to himself overtly and covertly that the person next to him whom he regarded as a friend was actually using him from the beginning to the end. The things he did for him were actually completely It's not worth it. In addition to the tempting conditions offered by Shen Qianshan just now, Modo really has no reason to refuse. After all, he is different now from before. In the past, he would still sacrifice his life for money. , do some disgraceful things, but at this time, I not only have to consider my own situation, but also consider whether the brothers who follow me can settle down in this place, so now it seems that Shen Qianshan is giving There is absolutely no problem with the conditions he proposed. What's more, before coming to the capital, he had learned more or less about them. The things they promised in that document were also It's true that they can do it, and it's not a big deal to them.
"Well... what do you think, sir? Are you just going to let go of the agreement with the emperor?"
Shopkeeper Sun knew that he was in the wrong, but after all, it was a matter assigned by the emperor. If it was not handled properly, problems would still arise to some extent.
Shopkeeper Sun still wants to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor as much as possible. After all, if he had not been supported by the emperor over the years, he would have gone to nowhere.
"What else can I think about? Under such conditions, do I have any other choice? And if I am not wrong, such a condition of 20% tax should be offered by your emperor. If I today If he really shows off, will he be able to reap the benefits? "
Modo knew something about their royal family. This Shen Qianshan has always been the biggest obstacle on Shen Zhongbai's road to the throne. Therefore, Shen Zhongbai has been targeting Shen Qianshan very much, but he did not expect that this time he was inexplicably... It turned out to be a target for him. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, he may not suffer any loss, but he will definitely not gain anything.
"Why did you say this, sir? We have no ill intentions towards you, otherwise the emperor would not have allowed these foreign businessmen to come to Beijing." Shopkeeper Sun still seemed to want to excuse what he had done. But it was obvious that the person in front of him could no longer listen. Modo simply adjusted his clothes and said, "Apart from anything else, you and I have known each other for so many years. I saved you once at the border. You also helped me in the following things. I thought I could treat you as a trustworthy friend, but I didn't expect you to plot against me in this kind of thing. "
Modo stood up and said, "From now on, you and I will have no other demands. I can treat this matter as if it never happened, and you don't have to criticize me. You should be very clear. What should have happened to the people around me who deceived me and took advantage of me.”
Mo Duo left Tinghai Tower without looking back. However, he was not to blame for this incident. There were not many friends who could stay with him, but he treated every one of them sincerely. Only this person, until Today I discovered that it is not worth treating sincerely.
"As expected, it still doesn't work?"
After the incident happened, Chu Junyou got the news immediately, but it was already too late.
