Chapter 78 Blackmailing King Wei

"Hahaha, the Seventh Emperor's nephew, I haven't seen you for five years. My nephew has become more and more handsome."

King Wei got off the sedan chair and gave Xiao Ming a hug, and patted Xiao Ming's back with his right hand.

"Cough cough." Xiao Ming almost vomited blood when he was photographed by King Wei, this big fat man with a weight of 300 jin had a really good acceleration of gravity, he escaped from King Wei's body and said with a smile: "Three Emperor Uncles in five years It's a lot more plump."

"Hey, Jinling City is full of delicious food and wine. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to eat, but if my nephew comes to Jinling City, I will definitely not be able to keep my mouth shut." King Wei patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder.

The two seemed to go to the main hall intimately. Outside the hall, King Wei ordered his guards to stay, and he and Xiao Ming entered the main hall alone.

At this moment, King Wei's expression suddenly became gloomy, the two sat down, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.

"My nephew, Zhou Ziyu is my person. The matter of smuggling war horses was ordered by the emperor. You should let him go."

The politeness of the two outside is just for outsiders to see, but the exchange of interests is often very direct, and King Wei has no emotional need to communicate with Xiao Ming, and to get to the point.

"What! Why didn't Uncle San Huang say earlier that Zhou Ziyu was killed by me this week." Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised.

"Killed?" Wei Wang's bloated body almost jumped up from the chair, but he turned his words, rolled his eyes, and sat down slowly: "Kill it, kill it, after all, those who don't know are not guilty, but Did your nephew find a letter from Zhou Ziyu?"

Xiao Ming thought that the real problem finally came, he said casually: "There is a secret letter for this..."

King Wei hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "So, nephew also knows the contents of this secret letter?"

"Exactly." Xiao Ming suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the house with a full smile, "What is Uncle Sanhuang going to take in exchange for this secret letter?"

The matters involved in the secret letter are very important to King Wei, and it is also something that cannot be seen, otherwise he would not come in person, and he also brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is clearly coercing Xiao Ming.

Although Xiao Ming was very upset, he also knew that if he stabbed this matter out, King Wei would definitely become angry, and it would not be good for him to have a border conflict at that time.

Moreover, the content of the secret letter is not about the safety of the Great Yu Kingdom, but about the King of Wei and the King of Yan.

"Exchange?" When King Wei heard the words, his expression suddenly relaxed. "My nephew is indeed a smart man. This matter was originally a private matter between me and King Yan, not to mention that you and I are both royals and should work together."

"Having said that, it would be wrong for Uncle Sanhuang to bribe Huyan Tuobu to kill King Yan's caravan on the grassland. The documents in King Yan's caravan have the seal of the father and the emperor. The relationship with the Huyan Tuo Department is so friendly, three years ago, the barbarian cavalry only raged in this king's fief, and never went south. This matter needs to be investigated carefully, and it seems that it is enough to fill the court's civil and military memorial."

King Wei's expression changed drastically. Xiao Ming's smirk made him ticklish. He didn't expect Xiao Ming to be so shrewd, and immediately saw the real key, which was the relationship between the letter and the Huyantuo tribe.

In order to buy horses in the grasslands, he naturally had to communicate with the Huyantuo tribe, and bribes were indispensable, because the gold and silver treasures he gave were huge, and the Huyantuo tribe had close contacts with him. In the letter, He even considered brotherhood to the banner owner of the Huyantuo tribe, and this kind of politeness completely exceeded the boundaries that Xiao Wenxuan had set for him.

If this matter spread to the court, the officials of King Yan's line would definitely criticize him, and Xiao Wenxuan would condemn him in anger.

Although he is prosperous and strong, he is not afraid of any vassal kings, or even Xiao Wenxuan's 500,000 forbidden troops, but now that the Great Yu Kingdom is declining, Xiao Wenxuan's prestige is still there.

If the world were to attack him in groups, he would not have this confidence.

"Nephew, let's talk about what to get in exchange. How much silver and how many beauties do you need?" Cold sweat broke out on King Wei's forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming knew that his guess was right. He really caught King Wei's heart. "I'm not interested in either of these. I want 100,000 slaves and 2,000,000 stone grains."

"One hundred thousand slaves?" King Wei looked surprised. In his memory, Xiao Ming was only interested in silver and beauties. This request surprised him.

But after thinking about it, he understood Xiao Ming's thoughts. Now Xiao Ming sells soaps, perfumes and other novel things, and what he needs most is slaves.

As long as there are slaves, he can build more workshops and earn more silver, and with silver, there will be no shortage of beauties.

"How is it? Uncle Sanhuang, I don't want to be involved in the conflict between you and King Yan, and you and the Huyantuo tribe are just getting closer, but this is enough for someone to accuse the uncle of collaborating with the enemy at the court, and what happened three years ago Enough to be thought-provoking.”

100,000 slaves may seem like a lot, but he believes that the problem is simple for King Wei.

Because of the wealth of Wei land, almost all wealthy families keep private slaves, and the relationship between King Wei and the Huyantuo tribe can also buy a large number of slaves from the Huyantuo tribe. The number of 100,000 is really not many.

"It's that simple?" King Wei hesitated.

"It's that simple." Xiao Ming said with a smile, he kept this matter at the most suitable level of trading, and it was easy to achieve the goal without making King Wei angry.

"Hahaha... Well, I didn't come in vain this time. If my nephew has any requirements in the future, just mention it to me. After all, we are neighbors." King Wei laughed happily, and then extended his hand to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming took out the secret letter at this time, but he suddenly tore the letter in half and said, "Uncle Sanhuang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really the current situation, the first half of this letter is about King Yan. , the second half is about the barbarians, you and I each keep half, and when the 100,000 slaves arrive, I will naturally return the latter half to you."

King Wei looked unhappy, "Nephew, don't deceive people too much, you don't believe me."

"Three years ago, I believed in Uncle Three Emperors."

King Wei suddenly looked embarrassed. Three years ago, he promised Xiao Ming to send troops, but the army did not move, just waited and watched at the border.

"Hmph, Xiao Ming, what do you mean? What if I don't agree?" King Wei was also a shrewd person, he suddenly threatened, trying to intimidate Xiao Ming.

"Although my Qingzhou army is weak, we still dare to fight! It's just that how we end up at that time depends on Uncle Sanhuang's ability. Anyway, the land is barren, and fighting again will be nothing but a mess." Xiao Ming's tone was tough.

King Wei's bulging stomach rose and fell rapidly for a while, and finally sat down slumped, "You're ruthless!"
