The housekeeper looked at the old man and said seriously: "I'm not kidding."
The old man also said seriously: "Do you think I'm joking?"
The housekeeper couldn't help but feel anxious, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a token, so he immediately took it out of his pocket and handed it over.
The old man reached out and took it, looked at it, glanced at the butler, put it in his pocket and muttered: "Why didn't you take this thing out earlier and waste my time to tell me your request?"
The housekeeper immediately became energetic and said immediately: "Xiqin Qin's Commercial Bank Office, I want everyone there to survive less than three days, and no one can survive."
After hearing this, the old man immediately threw the bag of gold coins in his hand back to the butler and said: "The door is behind you, please go slowly without sending it away."
The housekeeper caught the bag and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I can't do this job," the old man said as he picked up a wine flask on the table and poured wine into the cup.
The housekeeper suddenly became anxious: "If you can't do it, aren't you specialized in this kind of business?"
The old man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "As far as I know, there are more than two hundred caravan guards at the Qin's Commercial Bank office.
We are indeed in the business of killing people, but we are not an army."
The housekeeper was silent for a while and said: "As long as you have money, it won't be difficult to recruit an army to do this.
Since you are in this business, as long as it is related to killing, I believe you will have a way.
It's just that there is more money and less money."
Problem, I can assure you, money is not an issue, I don’t care if you recruit an army of mercenaries or It is to directly bribe the army.
In short, if you make this thing for me, I will not give you a penny less.
The price is whatever you want.
If you continue to say that you can't do this, I will doubt your strength and You have your credit, I believe that many people in need will not consider and choose you when they want to solve problems in this way in the future.”
The old man drank wine and looked at the housekeeper.
There was a trace of undetectable fluctuation in his old bark-like face, and his deep eyes were like a deep pool of water with no bottom.
"You are posing a problem for me."
The old man put down his wine glass and sighed, "Okay, I will take this business, and the reward will be 30,000 gold coins."
The muscles on the butler's face trembled a little.
Thirty thousand gold coins was a bit high.
The market price of that batch of goods was only about thirty to forty thousand gold coins.
If you really want to calculate it, this transaction is really not worth it, but things have developed.
At this point, it is no longer a question of whether it is worth it, but a question of the face of Viscount Zirat's house, which cannot be measured by money.
Although the price was a bit high, the housekeeper agreed: "Okay, thirty thousand gold coins, but I have one more request.
This matter must be resolved within three days."
"Within three days."
The old man shook his head.
"It's impossible.
No one can solve this matter within three days except using regular troops.
If you must solve it within three days, that's fine.
Just add more money."
The housekeeper also knew that the old man was not talking nonsense, so he asked: "How much more?"
"Add 30,000, the total is 60,000."
The housekeeper couldn't help but feel distressed.
Sixty thousand gold coins was such a huge amount of wealth.
You must know that the average monthly income of the citizens in Constantinople was only two or three silver coins.
"Can it be less?"
the butler began to bargain.
The old man's voice turned cold: "We have our own rules in this industry.
Although we are also doing business, there is no room for bargaining in our business.
If you think the price is high, you can find someone else."

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, sixty thousand is sixty thousand."
"The money must be paid in one lump sum.
No credit will be given.
All I need is an bearer gold dollar cashier's check issued by the Royal Bank of Western Qin."
Sixty thousand gold coins is not a small amount.
If you use wooden boxes to pack several boxes, it will be too inconvenient to move them around.
Such large transactions are almost always used in the Western Qin Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty, or the Eastern Roman Empire.
Gold dollar promissory note from the Western Qin Imperial Bank For settlement transactions, the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank has indeed opened branches all over the world.
Even as far away as the Frankish Kingdom in the west, there are branches of the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank.
This greatly facilitates merchants to carry out bulk transactions, cash withdrawals and exchange.
Especially for this kind of murderous business, once the amount exceeds a certain amount, it is most convenient to use gold and dollar promissory notes for settlement.
You can leave immediately with it on your body.
The unnamed gold and dollar promissory notes are undoubtedly their best choice.
There was no financial institution like the Western Qin Royal Bank in the Eastern Roman Empire.
The butler didn't have so much money with him, so he could only say: "I will send the money over at this time tomorrow."
The large courtyard of the Qin's Commercial Bank office is indeed a bit crowded with more than 200 people living in it.
Every courtyard is full of people.
Even if you go out to use the toilet in the middle of the night, you have to queue up.
Except for the room where Zhao Ziliang lived alone, almost all other rooms were occupied by two or more people.
Some rooms even housed more than ten or twenty guards.
These Dragon Guard soldiers had long been accustomed to this.
Plant Datongpu.
As soon as it gets dark, the soldiers of the Long Wei Army like to come to the courtyard where Zhao Ziliang lives and listen to his stories.
The weather is hot now, there is no entertainment at night, and there are many mosquitoes.
Even if they try to push Pai Gow, they will be chased and bitten by mosquitoes. , everyone can only hold cattail leaf fans and small benches Sitting in Zhao Ziliang's yard and listening to him tell stories, sometimes Dugujun, Liu Dan and others would also tell interesting things.
When you go out, you naturally cannot follow the army's requirements like you do in the army.
Zhao Ziliang and others also This is the only way to relieve the soldiers' boredom.
"After Zhang Liang failed in his attempt to assassinate the First Emperor, he changed his name and hid in Xiapi City.
One day he was walking on the bridge and met an old man.
The old man waved to him.
Zhang Liang walked over and was about to salute when he saw the old man took off his clothes.
He threw the shoe under the bridge and said: Boy, go and pick up the shoe for my father-in-law.
If you were Zhang Liang, how would you react?"
A guard shouted: "This father-in-law is too rude.
He is just relying on his elders and selling his elders.
Liuhou doesn't even know him, but he deliberately plays tricks on Liuhou like this.
If it were me, huh, I'd beat him up first and see.
Does he still dare?”
"Hahaha" the other guards burst into laughter.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Zhang Liang was also very angry at that time, but he still suppressed his anger, walked under the bridge, picked up the shoes, knelt in front of the old man and put them on for the old man.
The old man was very happy and said that children can be taught, you Come back here in five days.
I have something to tell you.
Zhang Liang feels even more strange.
If you were Zhang Liang, how would you react?"
The guard just now shouted again: "I will definitely scold you, you old thing, you are crazy.

I don't know you, why should I listen to you?"
"Hahaha" the guards laughed again, and some even laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward.
After everyone laughed for a while, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to stop everyone and said: "Zhang Liang was very curious at the time and said to himself that this old man seemed to speak clearly and did not seem to be mentally ill.
He wanted to see what the old man wanted to do, so Agree.
Five days later, Zhang Liang came here again.
The old man was already waiting for him.
When he saw him, he was very angry and said, "Why are you, a young man like this?"
You don't respect the old man.
We made an appointment to meet here, but you asked me, an old man, to wait for you.
Aren't you ashamed?
Okay, come back in five days.
Zhang Liang felt very ashamed after hearing what the old man said.
He really can't let the old man wait.
He then agreed to meet here five days later.
Zhang Liang left before dawn five days later, but the old man was already there.
The old man was very angry and said, "What are you doing?"
He arrived late again and came back in five days.
Zhang Liang felt very aggrieved and said in his heart that it was not me who had made a mistake, it was you who came too early.
He just said this in his heart and did not dare to complain to the old man.
Five days later, Zhang Liang went there in the middle of the night.
The old man was still waiting there.
He smiled and said, "You are a good boy."
After that, the old man took out a book and handed it to Zhang Liang.
Take it and read it.
After you have thoroughly read this book, you can become the emperor's teacher.
Thirteen years later, at the foot of Gucheng Mountain in Jibei, Huang Shigong was me.
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared.
Zhang Liang was shocked. , I opened the book and saw that it was written about military strategies and strategies for governing the country.
Zhang Liang felt like he had found a treasure, so he studied day and night, and finally assisted Liu Bang to win the world.
Do you know who this old man is?"
A soldier raised his hand and shouted: "I know, he is Huang Shigong, my ancestral home is in Xiapi" Zhao Ziliang nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is Huang Shigong.
Speaking of Huang Shigong, many people know him, but few people know his surname.
Huang Shigong's surname is Wei Mingzhe, and Wei Zhe is the king of Zhuangxiang in the Qin Kingdom.
When the first emperor became the king of Qin, due to different political views, Wei Zhe resigned and lived in seclusion in Xiapi."
One of the guards raised his hand and asked: "Sir, why did Huang Shigong disappear suddenly?
Is he a god?"
Zhao Ziliang thought this guy was very cute, and he actually struggled with this question.
He still replied: "Huang Shigong was one of the five great hermits in the late Qin Dynasty.
He was a Taoist scholar.
According to folklore, he later attained Taoism and became an immortal.
As for whether it is true, there is no You know, it’s getting late, that’s all tonight’s story, everyone should go to bed early.”
At this time, an anxious voice came: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The guards separated a road, and a guard ran over and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang to report: "Sir, we are surrounded by people.
There are many unidentified people around.
Each of these people is carrying weapons.

I am afraid there are not more than two or three hundred people.
And there are more and more people.”
"oh" Dugujun cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it's someone sent by Constantine's mistress."
Zhao Ziliang's face darkened, and he waved his hand: "Let the guards in front be on guard, while others go to get weapons and armor.
There are a hundred people in the front and back yards.
Pay attention to the wall to prevent the enemy from climbing over the wall and coming in."
The guards didn't make a sound, and turned around quickly to leave.
In an instant, except for some of the guards who were standing guard around them, all the other guards were gone.
The guards reacted very quickly.
In less than three minutes, they put on their armor and returned to the inner and outer courtyards with their weapons to set up defenses
