57. I have the heart to kill! Nine thousand seek follow-up)(2/3)
Su Mu sent the two men away and went to Yaoguang Pavilion alone.
...
Let's say:
Li Si said goodbye to Sumu, bought a pack of snacks, half a pound of duck intestines, and walked home. Thinking of the old parents, elder brothers and younger sisters at home, a happy smile appeared on his face.
——Although he is related to the joint venture, it is a relationship of employment, and it is considered an affiliate. The joint venture introduces the work and takes out the wages to share the share, and I am free.
There is still a lane to your home.
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out, blocking Li Si's way out.
"Oh, Li Si, we're meeting again!" The man smiled.
"It's you again?"
Li Si frowned at the short and short man.
The man's name is Lai Da. He is a famous rogue in several nearby alleys. He was also the one who was hired by the Wang family to buy manuscripts from him yesterday.
——Of course, Lai Da himself was not aware of it, he just took the job from the informant.
"What are you doing?"
Li Si pretended to look ugly, but he was secretly thinking about how to implement Su Mu's plan.
"Hehe, Li Si, what do you think this is?"
Lai Daji smiled and took out a piece of yellow paper stamped.
“My…hired contract?”
Li Si's expression changed drastically.
"good."
Lai Da nodded proudly: "It took me a lot of effort to get this from Yixing. In other words, if I don't agree, you can't take any more work, and you must stop the work you are taking..."
"You... mean!"
Li Si cursed.
His relationship with Jexing is not much like the free agents and intermediaries of the Earthlings, but more like artists and companies. Jexing takes the initiative and can "ban" people.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Jixing would not do this, but obviously, this is not the ordinary situation in front of him!
"Despicable? Hoho!"
Lai Da was pointed at the nose and scolded him, but he didn't think he was offended. Instead, he was proud: "Li Si, think about it, if you can't take on work for a year or two and can't make money, what should you do if your parents, brothers and sisters?"
"Besides, this is just the beginning..."
He said in a slight threat: "I'm still saying the same thing, take the manuscript and everything is easy to say, otherwise...huhhh!"
"You... let me think about it."
Li Si's face changed for a while. Finally, he took advantage of the situation and sighed helplessly, saying, "Okay, I promise you! I can find a way to get some manuscripts for "Painted Skin", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Journey to the West".
"but……"
He said here, his face turned ruthless: "I want one thousand two hundred taels of silver!"
"One thousand two hundred taels? Are you crazy?"
Lai screamed in shock.
He didn't expect that Li Si would dare to speak like this?!
One thousand two hundred taels, what does it mean?
One tael of silver costs one thousand yuan, and 10 taels of silver costs ten thousand yuan, in this era, the purchasing power of ten thousand yuan is much stronger than the earth's 10,000 yuan.
And one thousand two hundred taels of silver is one million.
——If it is replaced with copper coins of every penny, it must be packed in sacks and pulled in a car!
"It's just one thousand two hundred taels, otherwise, it's going to be a death-death!"
Li Si's face was ferocious: "I steal the manuscript, but I risked offending that Zhenren Su, which was a fatal... Isn't the money to work hard for life worth so much?"
"I know you can't make the decision, so you can go to the person behind you and ask the previous question... By the way,"
He added: "If this happens, I can give you a 10 tael of silver bonus?"
"10 taels?" A hint of greed flashed in Lai Da's eyes.
"Satisfied!"
Li Si snorted: "Do I want to do something up and down? Can I make it happen by just one person? How much risk do you have to take? In comparison, you are very relaxed."
"alright."
He pretended to be impatient: "Go and ask!"
"OK."
Lai Da looked at Li Si deeply and left.
...
Not long after.
Lai Da came back: "One price, one thousand taels of silver. Also, don't use tricks... Otherwise, be careful of having money to get it, and spending it to no avail!"
"Yes, then I'll take a step back and it's only a thousand taels. As for playing tricks, don't worry, I, Li Si... can't do that."
Li Si waved: "Follow me!"
“Where to go?”
"I'll get you a manuscript!"
...
Half an hour later.
Outside ‘Tongtian Inn’.
Li Si and Lai Da, both of them paid off their money and goods.
"very good!"
Li Si checked the silver notes, put them in his arms, and nodded with satisfaction: "Happy cooperation!"
"As a big shot, I can also tell you a free news: tell the person behind you, that Zhenren Su, who wants to wait until the storytelling influence spreads further before starting to print the book. You must be careful not to alarm that person."
——This is what Sumu specifically told him to say.
"oh?"
Lai Da was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "Are you trying to... fight for time to run away? I understand, I understand, I will tell you the truth!"
...
It's not just Han Shi's journey.
Wang Qingnan sent the other three men who worked on manuscripts, and today's progress was surprisingly smooth.
...
And just as Wang Qingnan was planning the manuscript.
Yaoguang Pavilion.
"Miss Mi is no longer seeing guests. What does it mean? Where are you playing tricks on your uncle?"
Hu Kuang slapped the table angrily in the hall.
As the son of the county magistrate, he had already spent thousands of taels of silver on Luo Mi, but he didn't even touch a finger. He was so frustrated!
OK, I used to say that I was not out of business, but under the surveillance of Huang's mother, she could still enjoy the pleasure of talking from afar.
Now, even spending money can’t see anyone?!
Isn't this bullying?
"Don't calm your breath, Mr. Hu calm your breath!"
Huang's mother was a peacemaker: "My girl, I really can't meet guests now... Mr. Hu, I know your background, but I'm not afraid to tell you: That girl is climbing up a high branch now, and I can't even control me!"
Said.
She also blinked.
"Well? In this Xining City, climb up to a high branch..."
When Hu Kuang said this, his face suddenly changed and he subconsciously thought of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Well, he really can't afford to offend this!
He is a second generation, he is a bit ridiculous, but he is not stupid!
"I……"
