Chapter 321

So kind? Wangshu raised his eyebrows, staring at Zhao Jue with surprise, and moved his body back with distrust. Such a straightforward agreement made her a little doubtful.

But Zhao Jue could ignore all this. It was the first time, so it was normal to be nervous and distrustful. Otherwise, why is there a saying that the first time is strange, the second time is familiar?

He believed that with his outstanding and professional service, he would be able to convince customers, turn new customers into returning customers, and return customers into regular customers.

Besides, customers are God. They pay real money, so what's wrong with questioning?

Holding the idea that "the cost of business is not in the transaction", Zhao Jue comforted him: "You don't trust me, but you also don't trust the Jinyiwei? Don't worry, I'm a professional! I'm definitely much better than those half-baked ones, and I'm cheap and good quality, I guarantee that you will feel at home."

"Isn't it to help? Why do you want money?"

Zhao Jue's face did not change, and he asked with a smile: "Look at what you said, I can't help for free, right? I have to give you some tea money? Besides, if you don't want anything, can you feel at ease?"

That's the truth. Wangshu nodded in a daze, took a sip from the teacup, and asked in confusion: "You are an imperial envoy, and you are also the commander of the Jinyiwei. Isn't it easy to make money? Why do you have to rely on dirty and tiring work to make money?"

Before coming to the post station, I thought of all kinds of difficulties, and even comforted myself that at most I would be taken advantage of. The situation was urgent, and Zhao Jue was the most suitable. There was no way, no matter how harsh the conditions were, I had to bear them.

I didn't expect that the other party didn't put on airs at all, and the only condition was silver!

This made her very curious.

"Alas."

After sighing, Zhao waved his hands, his face full of sorrow, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

He patted his knees and complained, "What's the use of being an imperial envoy? What's the use of commanding a deputy? The emperor has no money in the treasury, let alone his subordinates."

"In the Jinyiwei, there are more senior officials than deputy officials, including Tongzhi and Zhishi. Above the Jinyiwei are the cabinet and Silijian. The cabinet has the chief assistant and the deputy assistant. The Silijian has the seal holder, the pen holder, and the attendant."

"You have to take care of everyone, otherwise how can the imperial envoy sit firmly? You only watch the thief eat meat, but not the thief being beaten! I'm exhausted from traveling all over the country. After deducting and reducing, in the end, 20% to 80% is the best. "

She subconsciously replied, "80% is not a small amount, you must have tens of thousands of taels for one trip?"

Zhao changed his face, shook his hands repeatedly, and looked more bitter, and sighed in surprise: "Oh, thank God. 80%? 80% is someone else's! I can only take 20% because of my uncle's face, otherwise, let alone 20%, I may not even get half of it!"

So that's it, Wangshu suddenly realized. No wonder he wanted money, if it was her, she would have to take some private work to earn such a little money after working so hard.

This is undoubtedly good news. As long as Zhao doesn't ask for too much, the money can still be satisfied.

And Zhao noticed that the expression in her eyes had changed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, what he said just now was made up on the spot. After all, he couldn't easily reveal his purpose, and he didn't want to let the cooked duck fly away, so he could only make up a set of excuses to fool her.

There is no other way. Recently, there has been no business from Six Fingers. It is very difficult to make some money.

"How much silver do you want?"

"It depends on the cultivation level of the person to be killed, whether there are masters around him, etc. However, it is definitely good quality and cheap!" Zhao said in a persuasive manner.

Wangshu nodded. It should be so. If the price of killing a ninth-grade is the same as that of killing a first-grade, wouldn't it be a mess?

He simply told the detailed information of the people to be killed one by one.

"First-grade, no master to protect..." Zhao held his chin and pouted, pretending to be embarrassed, "It's not easy, the idea is difficult, but fortunately I am also a professional, how about this..."

He touched his stubble and thought for a long time, and asked tentatively: "How about four thousand taels?"

"Four thousand taels?"

Hearing the price, Wangshu was so scared that he almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and both hands exerted force to stabilize the shaking teacup, and asked in surprise.

Although she was very surprised, Zhao could see at a glance: she just felt it was expensive, not that she couldn't accept the price.

So he changed his tone decisively, complaining with a slightly blaming tone, "It's not much, we are acquainted, so I can only charge this price. If it were someone else, I would charge five thousand taels!"

The first principle of slaughtering a fat sheep is to make the fat sheep feel that he has made a profit.

Comparing the two can strengthen the impression. Of course, he is well aware of this method and continued to pursue it, "If you think it's expensive, go to the ghost market and ask. I guarantee that there are only more expensive ones than mine, not cheaper ones!"

Wangshu frowned. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed: "Four thousand taels is four thousand taels."

At this time, Zhao Jue laughed, but he still didn't forget his nature as a profiteer. He murmured bitterly, "It's a loss, it's a loss, I have to change my temper. Alas, I lost a thousand taels in vain..."

This look really deceived Wangshu.

Her frown slowly relaxed, and she gradually felt a little proud in her heart, and whispered: "I don't care whether it's a loss or not, anyway, you agreed."

"Okay, okay." Zhao smiled bitterly, sat down weakly, and sighed a few times in a pretentious manner.

The whole person exuded an unwilling and helpless expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart.

It's so cool to kill a fat sheep! Even if it's not much, it's still cool.

Four thousand taels, really agreed! Really, if it's not open at ordinary times, it's a big business when it opens!

After sighing for a moment, he struck at the right moment while the iron was hot and said, "Give me the money first. It's hard to do anything without money."

"I don't have that many now." Wangshu said frankly.

Zhao Jiu's face instantly darkened. No money? Why do you pretend to be a fat sheep when you have no money? It was a waste of time for me to act with you for so long!

If I couldn't defeat him and White Tiger wasn't here, I would have your ashes spread for you!

"It's okay. You can leave after paying for the tea. What you drank was Chun Yuya, which has a price but no market. I don't count you as much. After all, we are acquaintances. Fifty taels a cup is not too much, right? Just pay and leave." Zhao said He picked up the teacup and blew it on it without looking at her, and his tone was no longer as attentive as before.

The change of expression was so fast and decisive that Wang Shu didn't even react. Zi Guzi glanced at the tea leaves sinking at the bottom of the cup and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Is this Chun Yuya?"

"I said yes."

"Aren't we acquaintances? It's just a cup of tea!"

"Who is your acquaintance without money? You still want to kill me, acquaintance? Criticize people!"

Looking at Zhao Jiu with a calm face and indifferent tone, Wangshu felt a little dazed for a moment. She couldn't quite tell which one was his real appearance, the indifferent Zhao Jiu now and the attentive Zhao Jiu just now.

Like the face of a thousand-year-old iceberg, it rarely changes.

After a while, she said helplessly: "Wait, I'll go."

Zhao didn't mind this and said with a smile: "At least three thousand silver as a deposit, I will wait for you for a quarter of an hour."

“No time to wait.”
