C119 (2/2)
Xiao Letian curled his lips, ”There are a lot of people who want to kill me, so there's not that many more of them.” But I know he won't kill me, because we are essentially the same kind of person... ”Alright, let's not talk about him. Your Highness, don't be idle. I still have a mission for you to complete …”
While they were talking, the Shouli City's imperial guards pushed out a middle-aged man who was tied up. He was Jin Changsen who was arrested for failure. Xiao Letian indicated for his subordinates to release the bindings.
”Professor Jin, can you guess why I'm seeing you?” Xiao Letian said. Jin Changsen rubbed her numb wrist, ”I am already someone who must die, there is no need for Prime Minister to see me again. A few soldiers pushing me to the side of the ocean is my final destination. But you still want to see me, and that's only because I'm still useful. ”
”Let me think …” I have nothing left now, and the only things that could enter the Prime Minister's eyes were the secrets in my head. I know all of Japanese's spies, and I know where their hidden assets are located. I even have Master of the Island's private message for me, and I think that when Lord is negotiating, you will definitely be able to use it … ”
Xiao Letian slapped his thigh. ”Smart, he's really a smart guy. I won't waste any time, you pour out all your secrets, and in exchange for the survival of your family, I can even leave you half of your assets, how's this deal? ”
Jin Changsen's eyes immediately shone with hope. He deeply bowed and said, ”How dare you not die in the Prime Minister's service!”
”Haha, good, good, Master Shi, you brought a few guards with you, let Jin Changsen lead the way and flank the businesses of the Japanese and the families. No matter if it's merchants or officials, flick them all up for me, I think in these past few hundred years, all of them have accumulated a million gold coins!”
”Much, much, much …” Without asking, he revealed the truth. As long as you give me enough people, I can provide you with the several secret warehouses on the island that the Shimadzu Family has set up. As long as you let me do it freely, I can give you 2 million in half a month … ”
Xiao Letian looked at Jin Changsen's back, he could not help but sigh, the little one was still useful, with the two million worth of wealth, the things in front of him would not be so difficult to handle.
Just as Xiao Letian was about to start clearing the Ryukyu Kingdom's treasury, Huashan Liyuan's mansion on the mountain top finally welcomed him as his savior.
”Mr. Ryoma! Lord Sakamoto … We are guilty, we are guilty … ” The moment Sakamoto Ryoma entered the house, a group of injured warriors immediately knelt down on the tatami's floor, with their heads touching the ground. The ones in the lead were Huashan Liyuan, Kiyoshi Yamamoto and Zhu Zhongjingshang.
Sakamoto Ryoma did not bother with them, he only looked around at the courtyard and the situation in the army camp behind. When he saw the groups of dejected soldiers and the groups of frightened ordinary Japanese soldiers, he closed his eyes in pain.
”Surrender, we have no choice but to surrender …” Sakamoto Ryoma had not finished speaking when Kiyoshi Yamamoto suddenly jumped up: ”Does the Qing Nation agree to slaughter the city? Did he promise to spare the lives of the soldiers and the people? ”
”Octagon Annihilation! You idiot! Your crime is the greatest in the world, yet you still dare to spout nonsense!” Sakamoto Ryoma was not a weak civil servant, his sword techniques were not even inferior to Yepingtai. He rushed forward and grabbed Kiyoshi Yamamoto's collar. With a shoulder throw, he threw the mountain-like General Shan Ben out of the courtyard, knocking over the fake mountain.
”Eight, eight!” Did you eat too much sashimi and burn your brain? Why did you kill ordinary people to deal with Xiao Letian? What crime did those hardworking Chinese have? You actually colluded with a rascal like E Balang?
The furious Sakamoto Ryoma subdued all the Japanese present. At this time, he sat on the main seat and breathed deeply several times before finally calming himself down.
Huashan Liyuan and the others looked at Sakamoto Ryoma in fear. Although he did not have a great title and did not have any official positions, as one of the leaders of the reformist, his reputation had already surpassed that of ordinary people.
The Samoan and the Changzhou vassal, the names of the places where the conflicts between these two generations never stopped, were gradually brought together by him. Now, they had basically reached an alliance, and under his ingenious arrangements, the Tzoufan and Fats' vassals gradually accepted the idea of rejuvenation.
The Southwest Four Soldiers Alliance was about to take shape, and Sakamoto Ryoma had done a great service. Right now, there was such an influential 'wild warrior' and 'Lang' sitting on the main seat in the hall. There was not a single Japanese present who was not convinced.
”Count all the military expenditures, weapons, armors and all kinds of supplies you have. Not only do you need to do the public inventory, you also need to count all the treasures you have hidden away. A quarter of an hour later, all the treasures will be given to the invitees. ”I want to first protect the lives of all of you idiots …”
”Treat Kiyoshi Yamamoto well during this period of time, and let him feel the realization of being close to his stomach … And you all, if Xiao Letian's anger cannot be quelled, you middle ranked officers must be prepared to cut your own throat … ”
A tragic atmosphere surged out. All the generals prostrated themselves on the tatami, but no one had any objections.
