Chapter 1961
For Huo Fei, the main purpose of arranging this meeting today is to reach a final agreement with "Master Tian". Whether Guan Anping, who serves as the liaison person, will come is indeed not that important anymore. In a one-on-one conversation, Huo Fei
On the contrary, Fei can have less worries and can communicate more directly with "Master Tian".
If Huo Fei followed Huo Fei's previous work habits, he should try his best to win over this big shot and develop him into a network that he can use. But this time the situation is a bit special. Huo Fei knows that as long as Xue Zheng and his gang are there next
If something happens in Danzhou, it is certain that all those involved will be investigated by the government.
Not to mention that Huo Fei himself will have to go far away to avoid trouble. Even this magnificent "Master Tian" will most likely be implicated and held accountable. So even if he manages to hug the other party's lap, then
It won't be of any use in a few days, so it's better to save this little thought and deal with the big deal now that will allow you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Since it was just two people eating, Huo Fei immediately asked the waiter to start the meal. The waiter quickly brought two meat, two vegetarian and four cold dishes, as well as a bottle of iced fruit wine ordered by Huo Fei, then closed the door and left.
Huo Fei took the initiative to fill the wine glass in front of Zhang Qianzhi, and said: "Mr. Tian, although this fruit wine is considered wine, it is not intoxicating. After drinking it, you will only have the aroma of fruit, and you will not smell of wine. Drink less.
I won’t delay your business in the afternoon.”
Zhang Qianzhi said with a smile: "Mr. Huo is really serious, so I'd rather be respectful than obey."
It’s not that Zhang Qianzhi doesn’t know how to drink, it’s just that he doesn’t like it. In addition, the job he is engaged in is quite special, and he cannot drink alcohol most of the time. But when he really needs to drink, he can still swallow even high-strength liquor, not to mention that this is just
It's just fruit wine with a very low alcohol content.
Huo Fei filled a glass for himself, then raised his glass and made a toast: "As I said yesterday, I will have to ask you to help me with the rest of the matter."
Zhang Qianzhi drank a drink with him, and then responded: "Of course I remember what we talked about yesterday, but it seems that Mr. Huo has forgotten something."
Huo Fei could not understand what he was implying. He immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Qianzhi: "Sir, this is a bearer fixed amount check issued by Haihan Bank. It can be paid at any time at any Haihan location."
Cashed by the bank. The denomination is one thousand yuan. There are fifty sheets in total. Please count the number."
Zhang Qianzhi did not immediately reach for the stack of checks, but looked at Huo Fei and said, "Mr. Huo, what do you mean?"
Huo Fei said in astonishment: "Isn't this the amount your Excellency requested yesterday?"
Zhang Qianzhi said with a straight face: "Mr. Huo is planning a big thing. In order to help Mr. Huo succeed, I have to bet my future. Fifty thousand is not enough! Could it be that Mr. Huo feels that his wealth and future are only worth this?"
money?"
Huo Fei was shocked and said: "Sir...this...where do you start talking about this?"
Although Huo Fei was mentally prepared that the other party might change his mind when he came, he never expected that this "Master Tian" would be completely different from before, and he would lower his face and say such frightening words.
Listening to what the other party meant, it seemed that he had realized his true intention of participating in this matter, and did not take the 50,000 yuan seriously at all. It would be a bit troublesome for things to turn out like this.
"Where to start? It depends on where you want to start." Zhang Qianzhi said calmly: "Why don't Mr. Huo tell you why you spend so much money to know the itinerary of the crown prince of Joseon?"
,What good will this do to you?"
Although Huo Fei was usually a eloquent person, Zhang Qianzhi's calm question made it difficult for him to respond. He originally thought that the other party was a money-loving person, and as long as the money was in place, things would be easier, but he never thought about the other party.
He was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and he had already seen that his motives were impure.
Huo Fei suddenly thought of Guan Anping, who did not appear here today. If the other party had noticed his intentions, then the real reason why Guan Anping did not appear was probably not busy with official business. And had Guan Anping done anything to this "
It is not known at the moment what "Master Tian" said that should not be said, and he did not convey any information through his previous reply to his invitation, which put Huo Fei in a very passive situation.
"Sir, there may be some misunderstanding..." Huo Fei did not dare to test the other party's attitude at the moment. He could only try to shirk his responsibility first, and at the same time began to think about how to get out of the current predicament.
Get away.
"Oh? Is it a misunderstanding? Then tell me where the misunderstanding came from." Zhang Qianzhi had been observing Huo Fei's reaction, and naturally noticed the other party's panic, and now he became more and more sure of his judgment. But now Huo Fei has already
If he falls into the control of the Ministry of Security, there is no need to rush to capture him at this moment. Zhang Qianzhi hopes to defeat the other party's psychological defenses through one-on-one conversations, which will help the case.
investigation.
If Huo Fei is smart enough, what he should do at this time is to sell Xue Zheng quickly to protect himself, but he is thinking that Xue Zheng still has 100,000 yuan that has not been paid to him, so he is not willing to give up directly. For this
Money, he still wanted to test the other party's true attitude.
"The purpose of the villain's donation is just to have the opportunity to contribute to the country. He has no other intentions. Please be clear to me! But if the adults feel that this amount is not enough, then there is nothing I can do to help." Huo Fei decided to struggle again.
, maybe the other party currently doesn’t have as much information as you think, just to squeeze more money out of your own hands.
Zhang Qianzhi has dealt with various investigative subjects over the years, and has quite a lot of experience. When he heard Huo Fei's words, he knew that he was still lucky and wanted to get through here. Unfortunately, Huo Fei didn't know that he
Almost everything he did has been investigated clearly by the other party, and this kind of attempt in front of Zhang Qianzhi is just in vain.
"Serving the country? This is a good excuse, but the person who paid to buy information from you is me, a citizen of Haihan?" Zhang Qianzhi stared into Huo Fei's eyes, trying to determine his true reaction immediately. Although
There is still a lack of evidence, but Zhang Qianzhi judged that Huo Fei's real purpose in obtaining this information was to make a profit, and the so-called Ming Dynasty grain merchants were most likely the buyers behind him.
Sure enough, this heavy blow made the unprepared Huo Fei unable to resist, and even his expression was a little unbearable at the moment. He really didn't expect that the big deal he thought was actually a big trap. The government had clearly found out everything, and was waiting for him
He took the money and threw himself into a trap. He shuttled back and forth between Xue Zheng and senior officials, thinking that his management was very clever, but now it seems that he was just being smart, and this "Master Tian" was just pretending to act with him.
Zhang Qianzhi saw Huo Fei's face turning green and white, but he didn't speak. He knew that what he just said must have hit the opponent's fate, making it difficult for the other party to respond, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued to put pressure on the other party: "Mr. Huo,
You can't get away with it just by pretending to be dumb. You must know how big this thing is. I'm not afraid to tell you. Even if you don't say anything, you can't hide what you have done. Today you walk into this room
Restaurant, don't think about being able to walk out easily again! I know you are thinking about how to escape, save it, you can't leave."
After Zhang Qianzhi said this, he clapped his hands, and someone immediately opened the door from the outside, but it was not the waiter who was serving food and drinks. Zhang Qianzhi ordered without looking back: "Let the waiter serve the food. Mr. Huo has paid for it."
, and can’t waste it.”
The more calm and composed Zhang Qianzhi appears, the more Huo Fei will realize that the situation is completely controlled by the opponent, and the more desperate he will feel. His mind is not bad, but because of his disability, his ability to use force is basically negligible.
So there is no need to have any thoughts of using force to escape from this place. As for the coachman and entourage Huo Fei brought out, he has no hope. Since the other party has made arrangements in advance, they will naturally not let his men go. They must have been captured long ago.
Caught.
Now that the opponent has shown his cards, Huo Fei knows that he can't leave, so he has given up thinking about a way to escape. Now he needs to think more quickly about what is best for him - even to save his life.
.
Although the restaurant was under the control of the Ministry of Security at this time and temporarily closed to the public, the kitchen was not closed yet, and several hot dishes were quickly delivered to the private room where Zhang Qianzhi was. Zhang Qianzhi did not rush him.
Huo Fei responded and greeted the other party: "Eat the food, eat the food. When it gets cold, it won't taste good anymore!"
Huo Fei felt that the other party seemed to have something in his words again, but Zhang Qianzhi ignored him and started using the chopsticks himself without any tension at all. But to Huo Fei, this was simply a sign of confidence.
Huo Fei silently poured himself a glass of wine, then raised his head to drink it, put down the glass and wiped his mouth, and then said to Zhang Qianzhi: "This sir, your surname must not be Tian, right?"
Zhang Qianzhi smiled and said: "My surname is Zhang. The real Mr. Tian is accompanying the Prince of Joseon to visit other places. He will arrive in Danzhou in a few days. However, I think Mr. Huo will have no chance to meet Mr. Tian."
"It turns out it's Mr. Zhang, I'm disrespectful!" Huo Fei tried his best to stay calm and tried his best not to show his timidity in front of the other party: "I forgive you for having the courage to ask me. If I am willing to cooperate with the government and obey Mr. Zhang's command, can I go online?"
Be patient and forgive the villain's sins?"
Zhang Qianzhi slowly put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then responded: "Where did Mr. Huo get the confidence to bargain with the government?"
Huo Fei forced himself to calm down and said, "Master Zhang could have ordered the villain to be arrested immediately, but he still sat here to eat without any hurry. This means that the villain should still be of some use value, otherwise he should be severely punished at this time.
Bar?"
"You are obviously a smart man, why do you do stupid things? Are you really willing to risk your life for money?" Zhang Qianzhi looked at Huo Fei and sighed: "With your mind, you can do some regular business just as well.
Why do you want to get ahead?"
When Huo Fei heard this, he couldn't help but became angry and responded loudly: "Why don't you want to live an upright life? But back then, there were several people in my clan who resisted the Haihan government, and their homes were confiscated, their properties were confiscated and they were expelled.
When leaving Danzhou, the villain's arm was shot by the Haihan army at that time. Later, he had to amputate it to save his life. He also had to change his name and surname and carefully hide his identity in order to stay in Danzhou. May I ask Mr. Zhang, the government
How have you ever given a villain a way to survive?"
Zhang Qianzhi also roughly knew how Haihan gained control of the Qiongbei area. The process would certainly not be peaceful, and there were quite a few wealthy gentrymen in the local area who were against Haihan. Although Haihan did not kill indiscriminately,
, but in order to quickly cut through the mess and control the situation, some relatively ruthless measures were indeed adopted. Huo Fei's situation was not uncommon at the time, and judging from what he had done in the past few years, it was indeed
It's not even a show of confrontation with the government.
However, Zhang Qianzhi would definitely not let the other party's tough attitude continue. He shook his head and said: "Wrong is wrong. Your previous life experience was pitiful, but it does not mean that you can still be forgiven for doing wrong things now. But if you are willing to cooperate with us, you can
If this matter is settled properly, I might consider interceding on your behalf and saving your life first."
Huo Fei said: "The villain is physically disabled. If he is sentenced to serve several years of hard labor, is that any different from the death penalty?"
Zhang Qianzhi said: "The hard labor camps are not all about hard work. If you want to slowly negotiate terms with me here, then I am not interested. There are some people under me who like to negotiate terms with others. How about you
Go talk to them, but they like to take action, so they may not be able to sit down and talk calmly like now."
Of course Huo Fei would not choose to suffer such an immediate loss. When he was tortured, he would not have to submit to the other party and suffer in vain. It would be better to admit defeat and cooperate at this time, at least to save his life.
After quickly calculating the gains and losses, Huo Fei responded: "Then let's follow Master Zhang's wishes. I wonder what the villain can do for you?"
Zhang Qianzhi said: "First, tell me the buyer's situation in detail. How much do you know? It's best to tell them all. If there is anything to hide, then I really can't help you, and I won't give anyone a second chance."
habit."
At this time, how could Huo Fei dare to hide anything from the government officials? Even though he was pouring beans through a bamboo tube, he told all the details of his contact with Xue Zheng, even the several negotiations between the two parties.
The story was also told together.
"So you know nothing about where these people come from, what their true identities are, who they work for, and why they are causing trouble with the Koreans?" Zhang Qianzhi was not satisfied with Huo Fei's confession.
Huo Fei didn't even mention the key information at all.
