In fact, Yan Shenghao was not accustomed to the style in Yan Shenghao's house at first. As the former lord and de facto controller of a county in Hejian, Fang Qiang was a powerful man. His life was extremely luxurious, but he surrendered to Zhengdong Mansion and also After serving as the third-in-command of Zhengdong Mansion, he had to make changes, because the first and second-in-commands of Zhengdong Mansion were accustomed to a simple and simple life. Even Gao Yuan's office was set up just like his place.

The clerk served tea, and Yan Shenghao took a sip of tea slowly, slowly placed the tea bowl on the desk, looked at Wang Pei, and said with a smile: "I already know the purpose of General Wang's visit. However, the matter of releasing Prime Minister Tian is too big. I am afraid that both of us will have to go through long discussions and repeated negotiations. It would be too childish for General Wang Pei to come alone. The reason why the Governor did not see you is because the Governor feels that you are expensive. Fang is not sincere enough. So, let me meet with the general first to discuss specific matters, okay?"

Listening to Yan Shenghao's seemingly confident words, Wang Pei felt that he was going against the blood and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat. Why did he come to release Tian Dan? On the contrary, he was like this One party did not want Tian Dan to be released at all, and it would be best for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to kill him with one sword.

But what can I do if the other party says this? Frankly admit my purpose? Is it a crime or usurp power? Some things are done, but it is difficult to show them openly. Who is Yan Shenghao? Doesn't he understand his purpose? Everyone in the Zhengdong Mansion didn't understand what their side meant. No, they understood it very well, but they were going to say it like this and step by step push their side into a situation with no way out.

Wang Pei truly understands the meaning of this sentence.

"Is Mr. Tian Dan okay?" Wang Pei asked with difficulty, hoping in his heart that the other party was saying that Tian Dan was suffering from blood and heart attack due to this big defeat. He was still seriously ill and was about to die soon. In this case, he could It would be much easier.

"Although Prime Minister Tian is over sixty years old, his body is very strong and strong, much stronger than mine!" Yan Shenghao said with a smile: "In weather like this, when I go out, I wrap up layer after layer, sit in the carriage, and... Someone has to put a pot of charcoal fire in the carriage, otherwise he will be shivering from the cold, but Xiang Tian is different. Some information about Xiang Tian just came yesterday, guess what?"

"Prime Minister Tian is not in Jishi City?" Wang Pei keenly grasped the meaning of Yan Shenghao's words.

"No, no, Mr. Tian felt unhappy staying in Jishi City. After drinking our governor's wedding wine, he and Mr. Zhou Yuan went to Dayan County to have fun. Yesterday, please hurry up and report that the two bosses People are fishing through the ice on Dayan Lake. It's so relaxing. It's a pity that I'm busy with worldly affairs, otherwise I have to join in the fun. General Wang, don't you know that the whitebait in Dayan Lake will be fished when the fishermen come up at this time? Once boiled in that ice water, no other condiments are needed, just sprinkle a little salt blossoms, and the taste is, wow, it tastes like meat in March!" Yan Shenghao stroked his beard and raised his eyes to the sky, full of envy.

Wang Peiru was sitting on pins and needles, feeling extremely embarrassed. Now, he felt that even being stabbed a few times on the battlefield would be much more enjoyable than listening to Yan Shenghao lament. He twisted a few times and coughed dryly.

Yan Shenghao seemed to be shocked by his dry cough. He trembled and his previous smile returned to his face, "General Wang is a subordinate whom Tian Xiang values ​​​​and I must meet Tian Xiang this time. It doesn't matter. The governor said that he can meet, and I can immediately arrange manpower to take General Wang to meet with Tian Xiang."

Wang Pei, who had a fever on his face, shook his head in panic. Yan Shenghao was right. Tian Dan was indeed very kind to him and valued him very much. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to lead his troops to stay in Tianhe and guard Jicheng. But the reality is that he was in When Tian Dan needed reinforcements the most, he ruthlessly gave up on him and betrayed him.

"The general is also busy with his mundane duties. He really has no time to spare. He really doesn't have time to go to the Dayan Lake in Dayan County to see Prime Minister Tian." He reached into his arms, took out a small box, placed it in front of Yan Shenghao, and gently smoked it. Opening the lid of the box, he forced a smile and said: "Since Mr. Tian is so happy at the bank of Dayan Lake, we might as well let him stay a little longer. These are the things our Second Young Master has prepared for Mr. Tian to recuperate in your place." Please be kind to the expenses and accept them with a smile."

Yan Shenghao opened his eyes wide and looked at the items in the box, the banknotes, and they were the banknotes from the bank opened by Sihai Trading. It seems that the second young master also spent a lot of effort to get these banknotes from Sihai Trading. Somewhat playfully Reaching out and tapping the box, Yan Shenghao looked at Wang Pei: "Xiang Tian is not an ordinary person, and the cost is not ordinary!"

"Here is one million taels of silver!" Wang Pei said quickly, "I think it will be enough for Prime Minister Tian to spend some time."

Yan Shenghao was so happy. No wonder the governor beamed with joy when he heard that Wang Pei had arrived in Jishi City. No wonder Wang Wu had been in front of him for the past two days, muttering about the lack of money here and the lack of money somewhere. This was a rip-off. It is indeed extremely satisfying. However, this amount seems to be far from the governor's psychological price.

Gently pushing the box back, Yan Shenghao smiled and said nothing.

"Strictly discuss government affairs!" Wang Pei shouted.

"Although Prime Minister Tian is very happy by the Dayan Lake, he is worried about his homeland. He heard that the two princes are fighting each other, which makes him even sadder. Although he is by the Dayan Lake, he has been in contact with the governor. Prime Minister Tian wants to go back, but General Wang also knows that Prime Minister Tian's invasion of our country has caused too much damage. Tianhe, Langya, Liaoxi, and Hejian have been devastated, and the people are living in misery. Therefore, during this period of time, the governor has been sending people to discuss the issue of compensation with Prime Minister Tian. It is said that an agreement is about to be reached. What about the one million taels of silver? It is enough for Tian Xiang to live here for several years, but the problem is that once the agreement is reached, Tian Xiang will go home. We are honest and trustworthy, so how can we take this money? General Wang, don’t you think so?” Yan Shenghao said righteously.

If possible, Wang Pei really wanted to spit in Yan Shenghao’s face. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person. He even extorted money with such a sense of justice.

But now, what can he do? He can only follow the path drawn by Yan Shenghao. Even if he knows that there is a big pit ahead, he has to jump in without hesitation.

“I don’t know if Tian Xiang will be able to take this money. How much is the compensation agreement reached with you? In fact, the second son can also pay this amount of compensation." He said with difficulty. This may be a large amount, but as long as Zhengdong Mansion agrees to sign this agreement with the second son, it will be a disguised recognition of the second son's status in Qi. At that time, in order to get the silver, Zhengdong Mansion may have to help him defeat the eldest son.

Yan Shenghao stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Wang Pei.

Wang Pei's eyes went dark, and the chair under his buttocks creaked and creaked. He almost collapsed under his buttocks. Yan Shenghao stretched out two fingers, and then Of course it wasn't two million taels, otherwise he wouldn't have returned the one million taels of silver in front of him with disdain.

"Twenty million taels?" he groaned.

"Yes, twenty million taels." Yan Shenghao nodded, "It seems a bit much, but it's not much. Millions of people in Tianhe, Liaoxi, Langya, and Hejian have suffered from the war. If it's spread out to each person, it's less than ten taels per person. What can this money do?"

"Can't it be less?" Wang Pei began to bargain painfully, "It's too much. Not only can the second son not take it out, but the eldest son can't take it out either. Even The entire Qi State cannot afford it now."

"It doesn't matter!" Yan Shenghao pulled out a stack of documents from the big case, "This is a repayment agreement, in installments! We are all respectable people, how can we force people to death! You see, our agreement is very generous, not even interest, just 20 million taels of silver."

The other party has already prepared the agreement, and has no intention of bargaining with me. Moreover, the other party is not afraid of you defaulting on the debt, with a strong army as a backing, there is no room for regret on my side. Opening the document handed over by Yan Shenghao Wang Pei read the document line by line.

Raising his head and gritting his teeth, Wang Pei said: "If we sign this agreement, will Governor Gao recognize our legitimate status?"

"Our principle is that we will recognize whoever returns the money to us!" Yan Shenghao said ambiguously.

"Okay, I'll sign it!" Wang Pei gritted his teeth and thought that even if the second son was here, he would have to sign this compensation agreement.

"General Wang, we can only draft an agreement. The real agreement must be signed by the second son of Tian himself!" Yan Shenghao said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll sign first, then I'll take it back, and the second young master will sign the formal text and send it back." Wang Pei said.

"Great!" Yan Shenghao clapped his hands and laughed.

Pick up the pen, Wang Pei looked at Yan Shenghao, "Before signing, I want to ask Yan Yizheng a question."

"Please!" Yan Shenghao was in a very good mood at this time.

"On the way here, I saw two armies, one is the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, and the other is the First Division of the Young Guards. Where are they heading?"

"Well!" Yan Shenghao laughed strangely, "I don't care about military affairs, so I don't really know, but I think , they will definitely go where they should go, but where they should go is uncertain!"

Looking at this hateful smiling face in front of him, Wang Pei was about to chop it with a knife. He picked up the pen and wrote his name. He pushed it back in front of Yan Shenghao.

Yan Shenghao smiled and picked up the document with the ink not yet dried. While blowing the ink, he said: "Since both parties have signed the agreement, the two armies will naturally not trouble Mr. Tian Er. We are still counting on Mr. Tian Er to pay back the money on time!" (A good event that falls from the sky,
