C362 It's Hard to Change the Current Situation

Du Qi didn't know how to respond to Yan Hao's words. He didn't want to see Yan Hao's smiling face, which looked like a philanthropist. Du Qi wanted to leave just like that, but he also wanted to know why Yan Hao had called him here and the result of the matter with Yu Dayuv. Therefore, Du Qi could only look elsewhere and quietly listen to Lu Bing and Yan Shifan's negotiation.

At this time, Lu Bing said, "Shixian should know that I don't have enough money. I only have these three thousand silver notes. It was also the money that I hurriedly gathered from a few ministers. Please don't be too stingy, Shixian. I must help you with this favor, I will definitely remember this in my heart. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future. "

Yan Shifan laughed and said, "The world-famous Lord Lu came today to ask me, Bai Ding, to be poor? Who didn't know that Lord Lu had a generous salary? There was no second person in the world who didn't know about it. The Embroidered Uniform Guard under his jurisdiction also collected a lot of money from the people. When have we ever seen Lord Lu be so generous? If even Lord Lu didn't have enough money, would there still be a rich person under the heavens? Obviously, Lord Lu said this because he sincerely wanted to make me happy. He didn't have any intention of asking me to help him."

After a moment of silence, Lu Bing said calmly, "Since Shixian said so, please give me a price. I will make Shixian satisfied and let him go even if I have to sell everything I have!"

Yan Shifan reacted very quickly. As soon as Lu Bing finished speaking, he laughed loudly and said, "Ha! Lord Lu is indeed a straightforward person! It's just that I'm not letting him go. I'm going to help Lord Lu save him. Ha! As the saying goes, 'a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a good general is hard to seek'. In that case, a good general was worth at least a thousand gold coins, and Yu Dayuv was not an ordinary good general. He was a good general amongst good generals, a handsome general that was difficult to obtain even with ten thousand gold coins. Looking at Lord Lu's golden face, no matter how one put it, it could not be less than five thousand gold taels! Since Lord Lu could casually get three thousand gold taels in a hurry, it should not be difficult for him to get five thousand gold taels in ten days, half a month, or even longer if he is not in a hurry, right? "

When Du Qi heard Yan Shifan openly asking for a high price, it was obvious that he was deliberately making things difficult for Lu Bing. Thinking that Lu Bing's humiliation today was all because of him, Du Qi could not help feeling deeply apologetic. The fire in his heart couldn't help but rise. He wished he could rush out of the secret chamber and kill Yan Shifan with a punch.

Just as he was feeling indignant, he heard Lu Bing still speak calmly, "Since Shixian thinks highly of me, I naturally won't disappoint you. Please wait a moment, I will go and return!"

Before Lu Bing finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It was obvious that he had gone out to gather gold.

Just as Lu Bing finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Yan Shifan laughed complacently and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu. Just go and do what you need to do. I have plenty of time to wait and see you off. Hahaha..."

Hearing Yan Shifan's proud laughter, Du Qi could not help but feel indignant. On the other hand, Lu Bing knew that Yan Shifan was deliberately making things difficult for him in order to complete his task, but he still didn't hesitate to do so.

Perhaps it was because he noticed Du Qi's unhappy expression, or perhaps it was because Yan Shifan's performance just now was unexpected. Maybe it was because he felt that Yan Shifan had indeed done too much, Yan Hao smiled embarrassedly and said, "This child has indeed gone a little too far this time. You have to look at the target to fight for the greatest benefits for those people who run errands. Who was that Lu Bing? He is the Emperor's milk brother and is ranked in the third grandfather and third son. Holding the Embroidered Uniform Guard in his hand, he has always been lawless and even I have to be wary of him. Now that this child has offended him, how can he live a good life in the future? "

Du Qi couldn't help but ask, "Is he just trying to make money for those people who run errands? Lu Bing only wants to ask you to release a person you want from the prison. Do you need five thousand taels of gold? He is asking for such an exorbitant price. He is not just deliberately making things difficult for you, he is simply greedy and insatiable! "

Yan Hao avoided the important points and defended himself lightly," Young master is bad. This child is not insatiably greedy. He is indeed thinking of those people who do things. If it was only for Yu Dayuv's matter, it would not cost much. Maybe he will not spend any money, but it is not easy for those who do things. Every step and every task needed a huge amount of money to be spent. If you don't save up a little, then what will you use to do things? "

Perhaps it was because Du Qi's face was still filled with anger, Yan Hao continued to explain, "I have been an official for several decades, and I have always been willing to live a life of poverty. But I have never taken any unfair money, and my daily expenses are all paid by the court. From the decoration of my house, young master can tell that what I said is true. "

After a slight pause, Yan Hao continued, "Although this underground secret chamber is extremely luxurious, it was not built by me. The furnishings in the room were also not arranged by me. It was because I lived in this house."

Du Qi did not know why Yan Hao cared so much about his opinion of him. From the beginning to the end, he had shown that he was not a corrupt official or a treacherous official. He was a righteous man with two sleeves of wind and a loyal king. So he asked, "Do you know why those people who do things do not give money and give gifts and can't do anything?"

Yan Hao actually sighed and said, "The social atmosphere is like this. Although I want to change this situation, I have the heart but not the strength."

Du Qi said again, "Then, do you know how many false cases have been created because of this? Do you know how many people have gone bankrupt and their families have been destroyed because of this? Do you know where the final destination of this money is?"

Yan Hao said without thinking," Is there a need to ask? That money should be in the hands of those high-ranking officials with real power. I just don't know what they want so much money for. Sigh! These insatiable scum of the court actually disregarded the lives of everyone in the world for their own benefits. It was fortunate that Young Master reminded me today that I came to this realization. Looks like I have to properly punish and punish the officials."

Du Qi saw that Yan Hao was still pushing the matter of Yan Shifan and him being greedy to the end, reversing the truth and pretending to be noble. The disgust in his heart had reached the extreme, but Yan Hao thought that he was feeling good about his relationship with Du Qi and felt that his relationship with Du Qi was getting closer and closer. It was not hard to tell from the way they addressed each other and the way Yan Hao called himself.

At this moment, Du Qi really did not want to be alone with Yan Hao anymore. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he asked directly, "May I know what else you want me to do?"

As if he didn't hear the impatience in Du Qi's words, Yan Hao smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "What? Young master just separated from those girls for such a short time, and you can't take it anymore? Ha! I can understand young master's feelings, because I was also young. A young man who isn't dissolute and dissolute is a waste of his youth. Ha! I understand now. Is the young master worried about their safety? Please rest assured, Young Master. As long as they stay in my residence and don't run into each other outside, I guarantee that no one will dare to touch a single hair of theirs."
