The topography of Gufang Island is relatively special, a copper mountain stands majestically in the middle, and the surrounding flat is open space, and the word "Gufang" comes from this.

The cottage of Liu Dadao is on the east side of Gufang Island, less than a hundred zhang away from the current location of Cui Geng and others.

Now it can be clearly seen that surrounded by dozens of bandits, three people were tied up and pushed out.

It is Niu Xian'er, Li Shan and Jianzhen little monks.

At the front of this team was a man in his fifties, of medium height, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, although he was not very handsome, but he was definitely dignified.

He said loudly: "Is Cui Xiang leading the army on the other side?" A certain is the owner of this lonely island, Liu Dadao, can you dare to step forward to answer? ”

"Why don't you dare?"

Cui Geng answered, ordered someone to lower the plank, and took all his cronies to get off the boat.

Hu Yuanli was frightened, and while shouting "Cui Xiang be careful", he hurriedly took his guards and pro-army off the boat.

To be honest, although there are nearly 2,000 thieves on this lonely island, their combat strength is really average. The reason why they were able to gain a foothold on Gufang Island was also because they launched a copper coin offensive against the magistrates, rather than because they could harden the imperial army.

Liu Dadao hurriedly added: "Cui Xiang can bring four people closer, and the others are not allowed to come, otherwise they will tear up the ticket." ”

As he spoke, three steel knives were already hanging on the necks of Niu Xian'er and the others.

"Don't be excited."

Hu Yuanli still wanted to dissuade him, but Cui Geng had already stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord Liuzhai, as long as you release Niu Xian'er and the three of you, this official can ensure that you are safe on Gufang Island." Now, what other conditions do you want to mention? ”

"Of course, we have to talk about the conditions, not only to talk, but also to talk slowly." Liu Dadao pointed behind him and said, "This place is not a place to speak, and I invite Cui Xiang to come into the village to speak." ”

"You ......"

Cui Gengwan didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn, and he was speechless for a while. It shouldn't be, the contrast in strength is so obvious, Liu Dadao annoyed himself, isn't that looking for death?

However, after thinking about it, he found some reason for Liu Dadao to save face. Maybe this guy wanted to surrender, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his colleagues, so he put forward such a condition to embarrass himself. If he can enter the village alone and show his sincerity, Liu Dadao will be enough to give an explanation to his fellow people in the rivers and lakes. If he doesn't agree to his conditions, he may not die for the sake of face.

Well, if you want face, the official will give you face.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng softened his tone and said, "In this case, the head of Liuzhai will lead the way." ”

"Cui Xiangplease!"

In Hu Yuanli's anxious and helpless gaze, Cui Geng took Feng Changqing, Cui Xiufang, Zhou Xing and Song Genhai into Dazhai.

Bang dang~~

The gate was closed again.

Hu Yuanli said angrily: "Get off the boat!" All to Ben Changshi to get off the ship! Fence this cottage for me and let one go, I'll only ask you! ”

"Whoa!"

The Great Zhou Navy Division landed urgently and surrounded the cottage tightly, and the water could not be drained.

Hu Yuanli breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Liu Dadao, I hope you are smart enough." If you dare to do anything, this official will make you regret being born in this world! ”

……

People are of the same mind, and their hearts are of the same mind.

In the cottage, Cui Geng is also talking about Hu Yuanli.

He took a sip of tea soup and said slowly: "Lord Liuzhai, speaking of which, you are lucky enough!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Twenty years ago, the imperial court began to reuse cool officials. Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, Qiu Shenji, Wan Guojun, Fu Youyi, Wang Hongyi, Hou Sizhi, Guo Ba, Li Renjing, Huangfu Wenbei...... Roughly calculated, there are more than twenty or thirty. Everyone has amazing means, and everywhere they go is bloody. But now, there is only one person left among these cool officials who is still fruitful, and that is Shi Suo Yuanli, the governor of Yangzhou. Isn't it lucky that you can fall into his hands? ”

Liu Dadao's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Dare to love Cui Xiang is threatening someone Liu." ”

"It's not a threat, it's just a fact." Cui Gengdao: "If there is no pardon from this official, the two thousand people on Gufang Island will have to fall into the hands of Hu Yuanli." It's not hard to imagine what will happen to you. ”

After a slight pause, he softened his tone again, and said, "This official can't figure it out, why do you need to serve Zhang Changzong's death force?" Can it still be famous through the ages? If you are worried that the lives of nearly 2,000 people on Gufang Island will not be settled, and there is still a shortage of people in the newly opened copper mine of this official, you may not earn less than you earn in this fake money workshop. ”

"Cui Xiang is really thinking about someone Liu."

Liu Dadao sighed and said, "This business of making fake money, we have nothing to be reluctant to do on Gufang Island." In fact, it has been almost two months, and our fake money has not been spent. ”

Regarding the dilemma of this fake money workshop, Cui Geng also understands something.

Counterfeit money, unlike counterfeit money, exists as a gray industry. The copper content of official money and fake money is different, and its "value" is naturally different. Generally speaking, it is two fake coins to exchange for one official coin. Therefore, although this fake money workshop is very profitable, it is not as profitable as people think.

The copper produced by wet copper alchemy is not only equivalent to one-third of the cost of fire copper alchemy, but also the output is quite ferocious. Recently, a large amount of official money has appeared in the Yangzhou market, and there is a trend of inflation for a while. These fake money workshops turned out to be unprofitable.

Of course, with the development of the economy and the expansion of the circulation of new money, the momentum of inflation will still be suppressed. But within two or three years, it is very hard to open fake money workshops near Yangzhou, Yizhou, Luoyang, Chang'an and other metropolises. What's more, you have to risk losing your head to do this!

In other words, in the words of later generations, it is to earn money from selling cabbage and to have the heart of selling white powder.

Cui Geng was puzzled: "Then the Liuzhai Lord's actions today are simply to serve Zhang Changzong?" ”

"What loyalty?" Liu Dadao smiled bitterly: "What kind of thing Zhang Changzong is, everyone in the world knows. Li Shan and I have eight friendships, and Master Jianzhen is not only a monk. He also cured his mother's illness. I offended them for Zhang Changzong, isn't that stupid? ”

The more Cui Geng listened, the more strange he felt, and said, "Don't you understand this?" In that case, why is it so perverse? ”

Liu Dadao said bluntly: "Because of a certain old lady, she was taken into Chang'an by Zhang Changzong as a hostage. Cui Xiang, if you want to live in a different place, what can you do? Do you dare to disobey Zhang Changzong's orders? ”

"I ......"

No matter how good Cui Geng is, he can't let his family care about his mother's life or death, right? He said in a deep voice: "Then the lord of Liuzhai wants to listen to Zhang Changzong's order and kill this official?" ”

"Not really. If Cui Xiang is killed, I will not be able to escape the lives of the two thousand people on Gufang Island, and Liu is not so selfish. Besides, Cui Xiangguan has a very good reputation, and he really can't do it in the next place. ”

"And what do you want?"

Liu Dadao said unusually sincerely: "Please also ask Cui Xiang to spend more time on Gufang Island." Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period is already high, and time is running out, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the battle for the throne to be decided. No matter which side wins, the mother's life can be saved. At that time, someone Liu will send you out of the island respectfully, whether you kill or chop, it all depends on Cui Xiang's fate. ”

Song Genhai fled at that time, and said angrily: "If Zhang Changzong wins, my family will die without a place to be buried, and there is a use in killing you?" One of your dog's lives is worth half of Cui Xiang's hair? ”

Liu Dadao confronted each other and said: "Although a certain person is cheap, he can't watch his mother die tragically!"

"If Zhang Changzong loses, do you think your mother will really be able to survive?"

"My mother is over 70 years old, and she will not be implicated in the law."

"Aren't you bullying honest people? If you really talk about the law, why don't you talk to Zhang Changzong? ”

……

The two were arguing and arguing.

Cui Geng was not interested in getting involved, he secretly thought in his heart, Liu Dadao's maid is filial piety, and words alone will definitely not be able to break the situation. Alas, why was I careless for a moment and forgot that Zhang Changzong had a hostage in his hands? It's really a wrong move, and you lose all the games1

Just when he was infinitely remorseful in his heart, suddenly

Pedal pedal pedal ~~

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a male voice, "Madame, you can't go in." ”

"Don't stop me!" A poignant female voice said, "I want to see the master, I have to see him today!" Liu Dadao, Liu Dadao, tell you, don't do anything lacking morality, retribution...... Here it comes! ”
