Chapter 422 You all want to get something for free, right?
"Report! Your Highness, there's a man named Lin Jiaxuan outside requesting an audience!"
We just had a public trial of three barbarians. Oh no! To be precise, there should only be two left now. Unexpectedly, the guard outside the door ran in and reported the situation to Li Jize.
Li Jize was stunned when he heard this, and was about to refuse to see him subconsciously. There were at least a hundred thousand people who came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to ask for an audience every day. Wouldn't it be exhausting to meet each of them?
But soon...
He seemed to realize something, and he was stunned with his eyes wide open.
"Who?"
"He said his name is Lin Jiaxuan and he's from Minzhou!"
After saying this, Li Jize and Chen Yingyuan beside him looked at each other, both of them with a look of disbelief.
Why?
When he heard the name "Lin Jiaxuan" before, he was very surprised. He thought he had heard it wrong or that it was someone with the same name.
but now……
When I heard he was from Minzhou, I was probably right. Who else could Lin Jiaxuan from Minzhou be? Of course, he was the pirate leader.
"Strange, why would he come to Qingzhou when he could just stay in his own Minzhou? What on earth does he want to do?"
Li Jize asked this question. Chen Yingyuan beside him smiled and shook his head. "Your Highness, I think it's about the business with East Japan! I think he wants us to open a way for him."
You know, the sea route from East Japan to Great Qi is now basically completely surrounded by Ou Doudou's pirates. Their horrific looting and control of the sea route has not only caused a sharp decline in trade between the two countries, but the most terrifying thing is...
Other colleagues can't survive either!
This fellow pirate, of course, is referring to pirates! Because these guys will stick together and rob each other, basically if you encounter them without a plundering permit, you will never get out alive.
"Please ask them to go to the living room!"
No matter what, he was the pirate king of the past. It can be said that before Li Jize rose to power, the entire shipping of Da Qi was controlled by him.
Since you are here, you are a guest from afar. How can Li Jize turn you away?
"Yes!"
After the servant agreed, he immediately turned around and went down to do it.
Why did Lin Jiaxuan come to see King Qin?
It’s really not what Chen Yingyuan said!
He was a little desperate, so he wanted to buy a robbery license to survive this crisis, but his silver was stolen, so he had no choice but to reveal his identity and confront Li Jize.
On the one hand, after the showdown, he attempted to use his status to put pressure on Qingzhou, so they had better find a way to recover the silver themselves. On the other hand, if he didn't have the silver, he hoped to be able to buy on credit!
The best thing would be to negotiate with Li Jize and if he could make concessions, it would be even better if we could open a "green channel" for him without spending any money.
"Mr. Lin, Master Lin! My prince is in love!"
Soon the servant came out, smiling at the father and son and making a "please" gesture.
The father and son looked at each other. Lin Dasen was surprised, while Lin Jiaxuan had an expression that said "it should be so".
"Lead the way!"
"this way please!"
Soon the father and son came to the reception room, and Li Jize also led Chen Yingyuan out together. When the two sides met, they were originally going to compliment each other on business matters according to the operating model of this feudal era.
but……
When these four people met, they looked at each other and were instantly stunned.
Ah no!
Why does this person look familiar?
"It's you?"
"Is it you?"
"Oh, we really are...haha, it seems we've met before."
No one expected that they had all been in the same inn before and had dealt with the barbarians.
After this meeting, they naturally exchanged pleasantries and chatted with each other. As they chatted, they talked about the purpose of this trip.
Loot certificate!
You either give me a plundering permit, or make way for my Lin family's merchant ships to trade.
Li Jize and Chen Yingyuan, with smiles on their faces, looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths wore a meaningful smile that said "as expected".
Damn it! He really is here for free.
really……
The most exciting thing in the world, the thing that everyone likes to do, is to get it for free!
The Empress wants to get something for free, the barbarians want to get something for free, and now even Lin Jiaxuan wants to get something for free. But unfortunately, you can get something for free from anyone except Li Jize, who is a notorious stingy person.
"This...give way to the Lin family? This seems a bit inappropriate!"
Li Jize's smile faded, his brows furrowed, and he spoke coldly. From the smile he had just given to greet her, his expression changed in the blink of an eye, and his words became colder.
It has to be said that Li Jize, a technical geek in later generations, spent a long time with these politicians after becoming the King of Qin, and also learned the famous Sichuan Opera.
Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Dasen were both stunned. They probably didn't expect Li Jize's expression to change so quickly. After quickly reacting, Lin Dasen was the first to ask, "What's wrong with this? Aren't we all from Qi?"
"Qi people? Humph!"
Li Jize snorted coldly and stopped talking. Being a villain is certainly not something a master should do. Otherwise, why would he bring a little one with him? What's the point of keeping all these people around?
as predicted……
He remained silent, but Chen Yingyuan, standing beside him, understood immediately and quickly stepped forward to speak truthfully, "Commander Lin, if I'm not mistaken, you have a regent in Minzhou, right? Our King of Qin is the King of Great Qi, your Majesty's King of Qin! You and your son are here, and we haven't arrested you. Instead, we've done our utmost to hand you over to the court."
This sentence is telling you clearly that we are from the imperial court, and you are a traitor! You supported a regent, which is clearly a rebellion.
We didn't arrest you rebels and hand you over to the Empress and the Imperial Court, so you're secretly happy. And yet you're so shameless, you still want us to open a trade route for you? Give you a plunder permit?
What are you thinking about?
Lin Dasen was a little displeased. After all, they were visiting as guests, but what was King Qin Li Jize doing? Was he trying to embarrass them?
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, what you said is wrong, isn't it? Our Lin family has always been on this trade route between Dongwo and Daqi. Why are you saying we can't leave now? Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?"
After Lin Dasen finished speaking, Li Jize and Chen Yingyuan, who were present, looked at each other...
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
"Hehehe...hahahaha..."
The two of them almost laughed themselves crazy. Where did this stupid son of the master come from? How could he say such stupid things in such a place and in such a political occasion?
