Turbulent Times Chapter 1055: Negotiation
To Wang Junlin and Yang Kongchan's disappointment, Gan Ziqi did not come, but he sent an envoy to Duobao Island by boat early the next morning. Stone boat.
"The first counselor of Daguidao, Li Congrui, pays his respects to Lord Qin An of the Sui Dynasty!" Gan Ziqi's envoy kept his posture very low. After entering the cabin, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Junlin, honoring Wang Junlin's title.
Wang Junlin looked at Li Congrui, who was in his fifties, with a frosty white beard under his chin, and looked like a scholar, but it might be because he had been blown by the sea wind for a long time, his face was dark, and his small eyes seemed crowded A group, it is really ugly, if it is not for the plain cyan robe and the high crown on the head, this person is more like an old fisherman who has been drying himself at sea for many years.
But Wang Junlin did not despise this person in the slightest, because this person was sent by Gan Ziqi, he must be his most important counselor, Wang Junlin had already found out clearly, and followed Gan Ziqi from Silla to Dagui There are also seven or eight ministers from the Silla Kingdom on the island, who are extremely important figures in the pirate force of the Gan family on Daguidao.
What's more, Gan Ziqi has something to ask Wang Junlin, and the latter said so clearly to Gan Ruohai yesterday, if Gan Ziqi was not worried that Wang Junlin would detain him and sell him to the school of Xinluo, he would definitely personally It's here, how could it be possible to send a small character here casually.
In addition, the route from the Sui Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms of the Korean Peninsula and the Wa Kingdom has never been interrupted. What is the situation in the Central Plains, who is the emperor, what kind of people, what major events happened, not only Goguryeo, Silla and Japan The rulers of Baekje and Wa countries are always paying attention, and the relatively large-scale pirate forces in this sea area will also pay attention to the situation of the Sui Dynasty through maritime merchants, let alone Gan Ziqi, the pirate leader who once served as the prime minister of Silla. .
When Li Congrui walked into the cabin, he gave such a big gift. In fact, Wang Junlin was not surprised. After all, with his current status, except for Gan Ziqi, anyone else in Daguidao could bear the big gift.
After Wang Junlin was startled for a moment, he said with a smile: "Mr. Li doesn't need to do such a grand ceremony, please sit up, we can just talk things out..."
Although Wang Junlin said this, Li Congrui still sat down cautiously after thanking Wang Junlin respectfully.
"This is an old fox." Wang Junlin thought to himself, this person's respect for him was naturally feigned, and he wanted to despise the other party so that he could benefit from the next discussion on specific matters.
"Our island owner is in poor health and cannot withstand the wind and waves, so he sent a young man to represent him. First, he apologized to Qin Angong. Second, he prepared some small gifts for Qin Angong. Finally, I want to talk to Mr. Qin An about something..." Li Congrui is a good actor, and his acting skills are superb, he maintains a respectful look on his face, and he has a good command of his tone.
Wang Junlin knew that the pirates entrenched on Big Turtle Island were quite different from most pirates. Although they would also plunder and extort business travelers, they mainly charged protection fees and rarely exterminated them.
Secondly, unlike Duobao Island, which is all rugged and mountainous, Daguidao has a larger area and a slightly gentler terrain. After Gan Ziqi occupied Daguidao, he attached great importance to population. There are already more than 30,000 people on the island, and a lot of fertile land has been reclaimed and cultivated on the island, and they are already self-sufficient to a certain extent, but they are still pirates at bottom.
But compared to other pirates, Gan Ziqi has a good reputation among sea merchants. Many sea merchants even offered to pay them high protection fees, and then sailed in this sea under the flag of Big Turtle Island. This made the pirate forces weaker than the Big Turtle Island afraid of the Big Turtle Island, and did not dare to plunder.
So for Big Turtle Island, Wang Junlin is much more kind than other pirates who do evil things: "It turns out that Mr. Gan is unwell, maybe I should go to Big Turtle Island to meet Mr. Gan in person..."
Li Congrui was slightly taken aback, and immediately said emotionally: "If our island owner hears what Qin Angong said, he will be ecstatic, like rain..."
"Tell me what Island Lord Gan asked you to say first!" Wang Junlin said with a smile, "After listening to it, I will see if it is necessary to go to Big Turtle Island."
"The villain has the guts to ask Qin Angong directly what we need Daguidao to do to help us kill Li Zhongyi, the current Prime Minister of Silla Kingdom!" Li Congrui said.
"It's very easy to kill Li Zhongyi." Wang Junlin said, "The problem is that the group of you who were kicked out from Silla, do you really want to stay in Daguidao for the rest of your life..."
Hearing this, Li Congrui's heartbeat started to speed up, and his expression changed several times.
Before coming, Gan Ziqi convened the senior officials of Daguidao overnight to discuss Wang Junlin's purpose. A considerable number of people thought that Wang Junlin might pretend to allow them to kill Li Zhongyi, but in fact he wanted to plot their Daguidao.
After all, Wang Junlin is just a Sui official. Although it is said that he is very strong and his methods are very fierce, and his performance after coming to this sea area also proves this, but compared to killing Li Zhongyi and the others, Daguidao can give In terms of benefits, it is naturally better to get Big Turtle Island.
But Wang Junlin did not hide it, and directly hinted that he could help them realize their greater goals or their ideals. This made Li Congrui's prepared rhetoric useless for a while, and he said excitedly and unbelievably: "Please redeem the little frankness, what did Qin Angong mean just now..."
Wang Junlin smiled and said, "That's what you just thought."
Pause for a while, before Li Congrui could say anything, Wang Junlin said: "So, you can't be the master of what I want to talk about, go back and tell Island Master Gan, if he is really unwell, maybe I will go there personally Big Turtle Island visits him, of course, if he can come to Duobao Island in person, I will give this Duobao Island to him."
Li Congrui left the gift he was carrying with a shocked expression on his face, and then went back to Big Turtle Island.
…
…
"My lord said so, I'm afraid Gan Ziqi will be even more afraid to come." During the conversation just now, Yang Kongchan was beside her. Say there are other plans?"
Wang Junlin sighed and said, "When Li Congrui knelt in front of me in fear the moment he boarded the boat, I knew that Gan Ziqi would never dare to come to Duobao Island to see me."
Yang Kongchan looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Wang Junlin said: "I originally thought that Gan Ziqi was once the prime minister of Silla, and his demeanor and vision should be different from other pirate chiefs. But when I saw Li Congrui kneeling in front of me, I suddenly found that Gan Ziqi had become the prime minister. He has been a pirate leader for twelve years. Although he is very different from other pirate leaders, he is still a pirate leader. The evil things he has done in these years have accumulated a lot. The so-called guilty conscience, even if we are not worried that we will detain him He will not come if he sells it to Silla."
Yang Kongchan was thoughtful, and said: "Then what should we do now? Could it be that my lord really takes the risk of going to Big Turtle Island in person."
Wang Junlin's eyes flickered, and he said: "Go, why not go, but I didn't take the risk of going to Big Turtle Island, I went to Big Turtle Island to let Gan Ziqi go down from Big Turtle Island All pirates must feel fear."
PS: Sorry, there is only one update today. I had a quarrel with my daughter-in-law, and the quarrel was very serious. The daughter-in-law took the baby to her natal house, so I can't calm down to write a novel today.
