Chapter 143: Chapter 139: Don’t Want to Be Used as a Tool

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard in contemplation, occasionally glancing at Liang Rong.

”Can you guarantee safety?”

”Of course!”

”I cannot take you at your word!” Yang Zhenshan appeared very cautious, as if he was genuinely considering the feasibility of the matter, and as if he were truly enticed by those 300 taels of silver.

Liang Rong smiled and said, ”Rest assured, sir. This is not business from the Liang family!”

”Then whose business is it? If you want me involved, you have to give me some details!” Yang Zhenshan said softly.

This made Liang Rong hesitate. How much should he reveal?

”I cannot say anything else at this moment, but I can tell you that the Prefectural Government and the Military Equipment Department are both involved in this matter!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly.

He already knew this; whether Liang Rong mentioned it or not made no difference.

But could Liang Rong possibly know more?

Xu Wanfu didn’t even know about Black Cliff Village; what about Liang Rong?

The Secret Martial Guards’ goal wasn’t Black Cliff Village; they had only one target, and that was Prince Qing Mansion.

If it were just about Black Cliff Village, the Secret Martial Guards would not have gone to such great lengths.

And if Liang Rong wasn’t aware of Prince Qing Mansion’s involvement, capturing him would be pointless and would only stir up unnecessary trouble.

Yang Zhenshan fell silent.

Liang Rong was not in a hurry, calmly waiting.

For a moment, the room fell into a deep silence.

Wei Cen, watching Yang Zhenshan’s back, furrowed his brow, unsure of what Yang Zhenshan was planning, but it wasn’t his place to remind him at this moment.

After a long while, Yang Zhenshan finally spoke, ”I can give you the mandate, but it will be 500 taels per time!”

”Sir, that’s not appropriate!” Liang Rong shook his head.

Yang Zhenshan, with a stern face, said, ”We are family by marriage. Normally, I wouldn’t haggle, but you understand this is a matter of life and death. 300 taels is too little!”

Greed is part of human nature; he needed to appear greedy enough to put them at ease. If he had agreed straight away, they might suspect his motives.

After considering, Liang Rong said, ”Then let it be 400 taels, as we still need to handle the Prefectural Government and the Military Equipment Department.”

Yang Zhenshan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, ”Then I wish Brother Liang prosperous business!”

The two shared a mutual smile, both very pleased with the arrangement.

Only Wei Cen continued to frown, not understanding why Yang Zhenshan would accept Liang Rong’s silver.

This clearly contradicted their earlier plan.

Their initial strategy had been to use Yang Zhenshan as a pawn, engaging him in conflict with the other party to draw out their backers and forces.

But now, Yang Zhenshan had actually joined them.

This—

Following this, Liang Rong took out four silver notes of 100 taels each and handed them to Yang Zhenshan, who discreetly accepted them and went to the Front Office to issue a mandate.

The entire process was seamless, as if Yang Zhenshan were accustomed to such dealings.

Ah, indeed, he did often engage in such activities. Wasn’t it just applying a stamp?

At the construction site in the past, they had even considered getting a specialized stamping machine.

Now it was just a matter of stamping an official seal, simple and effortless.

However, after sending Liang Rong away, Yang Zhenshan directly handed over the four silver notes to Wei Cen.

”What do you mean by this?” Wei Cen asked, frowning suspiciously at Yang Zhenshan.

That wary look in his eyes seemed to say ’don’t think you can bribe me’.

Yang Zhenshan, somewhat annoyed, said, ”Keep it, and don’t come to settle accounts with me later!”

”Uh!” Wei Cen was startled and then asked with confusion, ”What are you actually planning to do?”

Yang Zhenshan stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, saying, ”You wanted to use me as a shield, but I’m not willing to be one!”

”Rather than fight them, it’s better to join them as an undercover.”

”With my status, they will certainly try their best to win me over, because without my cooperation, their goods cannot pass through customs!”

Wei Cen was still puzzled, ”Even if they trust you, they might not tell you everything.”

His concerns were not unfounded; Cao Han and Xu Wanfu were considered their men, even collaborating for years, yet they were unaware of Black Cliff Village’s existence.
