Chapter 823: It's hard to resist hospitality
Li Hao and Donald exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Donald suddenly asked, "I don't know what the King of Liuqiu has to do when he came to Linyi this time, or is he just here to have fun?" ”
Li Hao replied with a smile: "This king and the Li Group have always had a commercial cooperative relationship, in fact, many of the things sold by Wu Lei's caravan are the king's, and this king is idle at home, so he thought about going to sea by boat to see the outside world and increase his knowledge, so he took his family out with Wu Lei's fleet, and I am afraid that he will not stay long here in Linyi." ”
"I see." Donald said with envy on his face when he heard this, "In fact, Lao Yu has always wanted to go out for a walk, go to places outside Linyi to see more, and increase his knowledge, but he has always been entangled in official business and cannot be idle, and only when he was an envoy to Datang, let Lao Yu open his eyes, Datang ...... What a beautiful and magical country. ”
"Lord Tang praised it falsely." Li Hao smiled perfunctorily, "Actually, Lin Yi is also very beautiful." ”
Donald knew that he was polite, smiled, and said, "I don't know what good goods the prince brought this time, can you sell some to the old man, the old man will not be stingy with gold and silver for the goods of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Hao replied when he heard this: "Bicycle, has Lord Tang ever bought it?" ”
Donald laughed and said, "There are already two in the family, but it's a pity that the old man is old and doesn't dare to study, for fear of falling and hurting himself." ”
Li Hao said again: "What about perfume, rouge and other women's products, Lord Tang can buy a little for his wife and concubine." ”
Donald said: "Although I have bought it before, the concubines have almost used it, and I really need to buy it again." ”
Li Hao said: "This time, this king gave Lord Tang a discount, and it is a limited edition perfume, worth 100 gold, so it should be made to Lord Tang, your friend." ”
"Ahh Donald said happily, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Li Hao said: "It's better for Lord Tang to go to the boat with this king to personally choose, buy whatever you like, this king will give Tang Lord a discount and sell it at half price, I don't know what Lord Tang wants." ”
"Yay!" Donald hurriedly turned back to the two men and said, "You go back and get the money, as much as you want." ”
"Yes!" The two men immediately went back to get the money.
Li Hao was overjoyed when he saw this, there were many high-end products on his ship, specially prepared for some heads of state and magnates, and the price was set at a very high price, because he had to make room for the counteroffer, and when he counteroffered, he could also let the other party thank himself, this is the business experience, although he promised to sell it to Donald at half price, but he can still make a lot of money.
Soon, Donald's subordinates dragged a cart of gold and silver in a carriage, Li Hao was shocked, the prime minister of Linyi is really rich, a cart of gold and silver is estimated to add up to 10,000 yuan, this Donald is really not stingy at all.
Li Hao took Donald back to the harbor, the harbor was still full of people, and many people came to visit Datang's super sea ships, in their eyes, these ships were simply monsters on the sea, it was too shocking, anyway, they Lin Yi couldn't build such a big ship.
Li Hao took Donald on his main ship, the second floor of the cabin is loaded with luxury goods, among which there are many treasures, such as the best Hetian jade carved jade horse, Xinping (Jingdezhen) produced the best porcelain, these porcelains are unique, there will be no second one in the world, the price is also frighteningly high, a set of blue and white teacups actually cost a thousand taels, antiques are not so expensive, but Li Hao just dared to ask for such a price, the discount is five hundred taels, Donald was complacent after buying it, thinking that he had earned it.
Among them, the most expensive is the latest mechanical pocket watch produced by the Li Group, the Li Seiko Watch Factory is the factory that Li Hao has only put into production in recent years, a large table clock costs 2,000 taels of silver, and a gold shell pocket watch costs 5,000 taels of silver.
When Donald saw the clock, he could no longer take his eyes off it, and bought a table clock and a pocket watch.
Donald brought more than 8,000 yuan this time, and after a short time after he got on the ship, he was also very distressed, but he was extremely happy to see these things he bought, he thought that these things could not be bought with money, they were definitely worth the money, and he also said that he was going to give the clock to their king.
Li Hao laughed secretly when he heard it, and sent the king to the end (send the bell)? Li Hao was still very kind, reminding him that Zhong could not be given away, only a pocket watch, and explained the reason to him, and Donald hurriedly thanked him.
The money was also spent, and it was time for Donald to get off the boat, he looked at Li Hao with unfinished eyes, and said: "Lord Wang, it's rare for you to come to Linyi once, why don't you go to the old mansion to stay for a few days, let Tang entertain him well, and enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”
"This ......" Li Hao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "I still don't bother Lord Tang." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother at all." Donald said, "Lord Wang, your status is noble, if the Lord can go to the old mansion as a guest, it is really brilliant, and the old man can't ask for it, please be sure to appreciate your face." ”
Li Hao laughed helplessly when he heard this, it was really fun to meet these foreigners who admired Tang and flattering Hans, he thought about it, and felt that it was nothing anyway, so he agreed: "Since this is the case, then the king will bother the Tang adults for a few days, but this king's family is a bit too much, and he may have to bring dozens of more guards, and please don't blame Lord Tang." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way." Donald said happily, "As long as the prince is willing to appreciate his face, it doesn't matter how many people he takes." ”
Li Hao immediately asked everyone to prepare, and then took fifty special forces and Donald to get off the ship and go to Linyi City.
When he arrived at Donald's Mansion, Donald shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Come on, come and greet the distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty, butler, quickly clean up the East Wing, and let the distinguished guests stay in ......"
Li Hao saw his excitement, and felt that it was estimated that their king had not been so grand when he came to his mansion.
It was getting late, Donald ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain Li Hao and his family, in addition to Li Hao's family, only Wu Lei, and even Lu Yun and Chen Song could only be guarded by the side.
Donald doesn't like to drink, and Li Hao doesn't like it either, everyone just eats like this, and after dinner, Li Hao originally wanted to go to bed, but Donald pulled him to chat, talking about the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and the local customs of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Hao was helpless, hinting several times that he was sleepy, but Donald didn't seem to have much eyesight, so he still pulled him to continue talking.
That night, in another mansion in Linyi City, Zhao'en, the uncle of Linyi, was plotting with his advisor Daman.
Zhaoen sat in his position and snorted coldly: "Ragnard has become more and more biased towards the Tang Dynasty over the years, His Majesty the King has been bewitched by him, if this continues, we Lin Yi will forget which country we are, what qualifications does this old thief have to be the prime minister of my Lin Yi......"
Strategist Daman said slowly: "My lord, in fact, the opportunity has come now, this time Ragnard invited the merchants of the Tang Kingdom to stay in his mansion, it is the time for us to do it, my lord, haven't you always wanted to send someone to assassinate him, it is best to do it at this moment." ”
"Oh, why?" Zhao Eun's eyes widened and he asked.
Daman smiled and said, "My lord, you didn't dare to do it before, because you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to deal with the aftermath after killing him, but this time, your lord, you can completely blame the Tang people, think about it, as soon as the Tang people lived in Ragnard's mansion, Ragnard was killed, who did His Majesty suspect first?" ”
Zhao En's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Naturally, I was the first to suspect the Tang people." ”
"That's it." Daman said proudly, "The merchant is very profitable, after we kill Ragnard, by the way, we steal all the gold, silver and jewelry in his mansion, and make it look like a murderer for money, then His Majesty the King will be even more suspicious of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang people have a mouth on their bodies, they can't explain it clearly." ”
"It's just ......" Zhao En frowned when he heard this, "In this way, I am afraid that I will offend the Tang people, His Majesty the King will definitely arrest the Tang people, if it attracts the army of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be good, at present, our Lin Yi national strength is weak, and it is far from being the opponent of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Daman raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, my lord, these are just some businessmen of Datang, and when the time comes, they will all be charged with crimes, we will arrest them, justifiably, why should Datang start a war against us." Obviously, they didn't know that there was a noble existence in the Datang caravan this time.
Zhao En thought about it carefully when he heard this, and felt that this plan was feasible, so he said: "Okay, just do it, let Ghost Eye take people to Ragnard's mansion tonight, since you want to do it, make it bigger, and kill Ragnard and his family, leaving no one behind!" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Donald didn't know that his political opponent was already plotting to kill him, and he pulled Li Hao to chat there, Li Hao was so sleepy, yawning, he raised his wrist from time to time to look at his watch, alas, it was two o'clock in the morning, he was already thinking, should he punch this guy unconscious, and then go back to sleep by himself.
Li Hao was yawning, suddenly, his eyebrows jumped, he stopped yawning, and listened attentively, Donald saw that Li Hao seemed to be listening to something, so he asked, "Lord Wang, what are you listening to?" ”
Li Hao waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I seem to have heard that your house has entered the thief." ”
Donald smiled when he heard this: "The prince can really joke, the old man's house is heavily guarded, how can he be a thief." ”
Li Hao said: "Really, this king didn't lie to you, you hurry up and take a look, it's in the main courtyard, well, now it is estimated that you have entered the backyard." ”
Donald sighed and said slowly: "Lord Wang, the old man knows that you are really tired after a day of sailing by boat, and the old man also knows that it is indeed very inappropriate to bother you so late, but the old man really likes the Tang Dynasty too much, so he ...... Please also ask for your understanding. ”
Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and smacked his lips and said: "You still don't believe what I said, right, your family has really been robbed, there are at least eight people, and the martial arts are not low." ”
Donald was speechless when he heard this, and he also sighed, and said: "That's it, since the prince is sleepy, then the old man will not bother, please go back and rest." ”
"Hey! You man! Li Hao glared when he heard this, "Don't you understand my words, your family has been robbed!" ”
Donald frowned at Li Hao when he heard this, and after a long time asked, "The prince is not joking?" ”
Li Hao spread his hands solemnly and said, "Where do you think this king is joking?" ”
Donald's face suddenly became serious, and he raised his head and shouted, "Someone! ”
No one paid attention, he screamed again, and no one paid attention, now he panicked, there are hundreds of nursing homes in his house, how could no one respond.
Suddenly, two black shadows crossed the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard where they were, and by the moonlight, the two men were dressed in night clothes, black cloth wrapped around their faces and hair, revealing only a pair of eyes, and both were armed with long knives, and as soon as they saw Donald, they killed Donald.
