I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

"But the money is a bit small, only 500,000 taels! Lin

Beifan weighed the banknotes in his hand and said with some disgust:"To be honest, I haven't received such a small sum of money for a long time. I really have no motivation!""

The Daxia delegation was once again dumbfounded!

500,000 taels of silver, is it still too little?

You know, they who are officials may not be able to earn 500,000 taels of silver after being officials for a lifetime!

However, when they think of Dawu After seeing the official environment and thinking about Lin Beifan's greedy nature, they all felt relieved.

Looking at each other, Master Wang said:"Master Lin, how much do you want?

Lin Beifan asked:"How much ransom do you want to deduct?""

They looked at each other again, and Mr. Wang stretched out a finger:"Under 1 million taels, is that okay?

Lin Beifan sneered:"Do you think it's possible?""

The Daxia delegation and others smiled bitterly. They also thought it was impossible.

Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and raised a finger:"Under 10 million taels, is it okay?

Lin Beifan nodded:"This is more realistic!"

Mr. Wang raised his hands and said happily:"Then please leave it to Mr. Lin!" Lin

Beifan said with a smile:"As long as you give me 7 million taels, I will reduce the ransom to 10 million taels!""

Daxia delegation:" Damn it! Mr.

Wang was shocked and said:"Mr. Lin, you want too much. Please forgive me for not being able to do anything!""

"Is it much? Not much at all! Lin Beifan shook his head and said very calmly:"You know, I have reduced the ransom of 80 million taels to 10 million taels, saving you a full 70 million taels!" I only want 7 million taels, what’s wrong? By only spending one amount, you can save nine percent. I am already very conscientious!"

The Daxia delegation was furious!

You are such a shameless fanatic, are these 70 million taels saved?

It was obviously your lion who boasted about it!

Unnecessary silver taels!

And you still say that you have a conscience?

You big guy Do corrupt officials still have such a thing as conscience?

They are all so evil!

If you feed them to dogs, they won’t even eat them!

"Mr. Lin, you ask for too much and we can’t afford it!"Master Wang said with suppressed anger.

Lin Beifan shook his head:"That's your business, anyway, my conditions are there! Either pay a ransom of 80 million taels to the court, or pay a ransom of 10 million taels to the court, and give 700 taels of silver to me, and the rest is out of the question!"

"Mr. Lin, aren't you afraid that we will report to Empress Dawu about your corruption and bribery?"A man threatened.

Lin Beifan sneered:"You can sue me if you want! Do you think His Majesty believes in the ministers of the enemy country, or in me, a loyal and brave man who has repeatedly made great contributions to the court?"

The Daxia delegation was speechless.

This guy is really greedy and loyal!

He is very greedy when he should be greedy!

He is very loyal when he should be loyal!

He knows the size well and does not leave any loopholes for others!

Lin Beifan is calm He took a sip of tea and said,"I was threatened just now and I'm very unhappy. I'll give you another 1 million taels!"

The faces of the Daxia delegation turned green:"Fuck!""

After drinking tea, Lin Beifan stood up:"Think it over carefully, then talk to me! By the way, I forgot to remind you that until this matter is decided, the prince's matter will not be discussed. Farewell!"

Lin Beifan left gracefully, leaving behind everyone in the Daxia delegation, their faces all red and green.

"My lords, what should we do now?"Mr. Wang's mouth was bitter.

"This Lin Beifan is too greedy! According to what he said, we also have to pay 18 million taels. The price is too high! If our treasury withdraws so much silver, it will definitely break our muscles and bones!"

"But if you don’t give money, the matter will not end!"

"His Majesty is urging us, and the entire Daxia people are watching us. What can we do?"

"And if this matter is not decided, there will be no way to talk about His Highness the Crown Prince’s affairs!"

"The pressure is too much!"

……

Everyone sighed, hating a certain money-hungry bastard.

"Whatever! Let’s talk to His Majesty first and find out what he says! If it really doesn't work, this part of the silver……"Master Wang gritted his teeth:"Let's join in!"

Everyone was shocked:"Master Wang, you……"

Mr. Wang sighed:"My lords, if His Highness cannot be rescued, he will be in danger for one more day! The situation in the court is currently turbulent. Your Highnesses are taking the opportunity to make trouble and invade His Highness's power space. We don't have much time left!"

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot come back, our entire Donggong Group will suffer a devastating blow! Not only have our half-life efforts been in vain, but our lives and the lives of our tribesmen may even have been lost! By that time, it will be too late to regret, too late!"

Everyone nodded with a heavy face.

Their interests and the interests of the family have been firmly tied to the prince, and they will suffer both prosperity and loss!

If their highness the prince cannot be saved, how can they accommodate other princes who ascend to the throne? They?

The power struggle has always been cruel!

In order to ensure their rights, they will definitely kill each other with blood!

Therefore, they have no choice but to go to the dark side! If they cannot save the prince, they will all follow and die!

Days passed quickly.

The Daxia delegation was able to meet with Lin Beifan again, handed over 8 million taels worth of silver notes to Lin Beifan, and promised to pay a ransom of 10 million taels to the court.

Lin Beifan was very happy:"Is this right? ? It’s only 18 million taels. You give me the money and I let you go. How simple is that?"

The corners of the eyes of the Daxia delegation twitched when they heard it.

18 million taels, just for repayment?

Almost all their private property was taken away, and with the addition of 12 million taels from the court, the amount was enough!

"Mr. Lin, the money has been given to you, do you know what to do next? Lin

Beifan patted his chest and assured:"Don't worry, I am the most trustworthy officer!" I will report this matter to His Majesty during the morning court tomorrow, and Hulao Pass will definitely release him quickly!"

The representatives of Daxia looked at each other, and Mr. Wang said loudly:"Okay! Then please leave it to Mr. Lin. Now let’s talk about the redemption of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone else became serious. Their trip was mainly for His Highness the Crown Prince Xia Qiong.

Lin Beifan shook his head:"You want to redeem the Crown Prince Xia Qiong? To be honest, this matter is very difficult to handle! You know, this war was caused by your prince. Your prince almost caused the destruction of our country. He is a great enemy of the country. How could we let him go so easily?"

"Moreover, only if Xia Tian Qiong remains in our hands will you be able to take advantage of the situation and not dare to use force again! Letting him go is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain! If it were you, what would you do?"

The faces of the Daxia representatives were very ugly.

Although they had already guessed that this matter would be very difficult to handle, they did not expect it to be so difficult.

Mr. Wang cupped his hands and said,"Mr. Lin, I have to leave this matter to you! As long as it can be placed with His Highness the Crown Prince, everything will be easy to discuss!

Lin Beifan was very happy:"Really?""

"Of course it’s true! Lin

Beifan said even more happily:"As long as you give me 100 million taels of silver, you will definitely convince your Majesty to let Xia Qiong go!""

Daxia delegation:" Damn it!"

You can still spend 100 million taels of silver!

Even if they empty out their treasury, they can't come up with so much silver taels!

Mr. Wang said with an ugly face:"Mr. Lin, stop joking! We can't get out 100 million taels of silver at all! No one or any country in the world can do it! Lin

Beifan asked somewhat unhappily:"Then how much can you give me?""

The Daxia delegation was a little undecided.

Mr. Wang carefully raised a finger:"One million taels, is that okay?"

"Can! Lin Beifan nodded:"After a hundred years, I will definitely hand over the prince's ashes to you, and let him return to his roots and rest in peace!""

Daxia delegation:" Damn it!"

"If you are in a hurry, I can do it right away!"

Daxia delegation:" Chao Chao Chao……"

Lord Wang gritted his teeth:"Five million taels!"

"Can! Lin Beifan nodded again:"In 20 years, I will definitely return the prince to you!""

Everyone in Daxia is not calm again!

20 years later?

The day lilies are already cold!

Master Wang gritted his teeth again and begged:"Master Lin, 10 million taels! There really can’t be any more, any more will be gone! We have gone bankrupt and can no longer spare a tael of money! Lin

Beifan finally relented:"Okay, I'll try to persuade Your Majesty, the problem shouldn't be big!" But as agreed, these 10 million taels are just for me, and the ransom from the court will be calculated separately! Master Wang and others felt very sad:"

Thank you so much, Master Lin!""

On the second day, after Lin Beifan sneaked back from the palace, he said:"I have reported this matter to Your Majesty! After my hard work and persuasion, His Majesty finally nodded and let him go!

Everyone in Daxia was overjoyed:"Really?""

"Of course, why did I lie to you? However, His Majesty needs a ransom of 30 million taels before he is willing to release him!"

"30 million taels!"They breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think it was much.

At least he was more conscientious than a certain bastard!

He asked for either 80 million or 100 million, which frightened them!

They had stolen about 2,000 from them. Ten thousand taels is more of a national thief than a national thief!

Lin Beifan continued:"However, Your Majesty does not want money, but supplies worth 30 million taels, including grain, salt, steel, cotton cloth, etc.!"

Everyone in Daxia looked solemn again.

30 million taels worth of supplies is not a small amount of money!

If they really take it out, they will become poor in Daxia and there will be problems in the operation of the country!

For example, if there is not enough food, If there is a famine, there will definitely be widespread public dissatisfaction and the country will be in turmoil.

And without food, it is impossible to fight a war.

Lin Beifan seemed to see through their minds and said with a smile:"Don't worry, you can gather it slowly! If it doesn't work in one year, then two years; if it doesn't work in two years, then three years. When all is paid, we will release him!"
