Zhen House.

The courtyard is deep, the outer three courtyards, the inner three courtyards, like a small palace, there are many maids in the house, and it is worthy of being the first big businessman in Jizhou.

"Second Miss, come in, Madame is looking for you!"

Seeing Zhen Tuo coming back, the old housekeeper hurriedly said to Zhen Tuo.

Zhen Tuo turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Wang, these three distinguished guests please introduce them for me first, and I will come when I go." ”

"Okay! Second Miss! ”

Uncle Wang replied casually.

……

In the inner courtyard, a woman, with a sad face, walked back and forth.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Zhen Tuo walked in quickly and asked the woman, this woman is the wife of Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi, Zhang, that is, the mother of Luo Shen Zhen Mi, Zhen Yi had died as early as 186 AD.

Zhang asked eagerly, "Tuo'er, is your eldest brother back?" ”

"Not yet!"

Zhen Tuo said with a sad face.

A few days ago, Zhen Tuo's second brother Zhen Yao (Zhen Yi has three sons, Zhen Yu, Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao, Zhen Yu died early, so Zhen Yan is the eldest, Zhen Yao is the second, has five daughters, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi) went out to do business, and when he passed through Zhongshan, he was captured by Montenegrin thieves, and the accompanying doorman sent back the news, saying that he wanted the thieves to ask for 100,000 yuan and 100 stones of grain before releasing them.

This bit of money is not a difficult thing for the Zhen family, Zhen Yan asked people to prepare money and food to send over, never thought that this gang of thieves was insatiable, and after tasting the sweetness, they actually intensified and asked for 500,000 yuan before they were willing to release them.

Zhen Yan was angry, so he informed the Taishou of Zhongshan County and asked the official army to send troops to suppress the thieves, but I don't know if the news leaked or the thief army was too strong, and the three hundred officers and soldiers never returned, and all of them died on the spot.

The Black Mountain thieves were even more rampant, and directly opened the price to five million yuan, so that they could raise enough money to ransom people within ten days, otherwise they would kill Zhen Yao.

The Zhen family fell into a dilemma for a while, Zhongshan County was too reluctant to send troops to pay for the thieves, and threatened to ask the Zhen family for a pension. And it is not easy to raise 5 million yuan within 10 days, you must know that during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the position of the three princes clearly marked by the imperial court was only 10 million yuan, and Cui Lie, who was the court lieutenant at the time, only spent 5 million yuan to buy the position of Situ through the wife of Liu Hong's Fu Mu Cheng of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

The "money" of the Eastern Han Dynasty still follows the "five baht money" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is made of copper, with a diameter of 2 centimeters and a weight of five baht. As for gold and silver, they belong to the upper class of luxury goods and are rarely in circulation.

Zhen Yan was afraid that the thief would kill his second brother, but he was also afraid that the lion would continue to open his mouth and be in a dilemma. When he learned that Jizhou Mu Hanfu came back to raise food, he hurriedly went to ask to see him, but after going for most of the day, no one came back.

"Mother, the child has to meet someone today, and he stopped the frightened horse with his bare hands, and broke the horse's neck, you say......"

Zhen Tuo whispered.

Zhang's family was originally from a large family, smart and virtuous, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhen Tuo, revealing a trace of expectation, but then he was suppressed by suspicion, and sighed: "The government can't help this group of thieves, what can he do!" ”

Zhen Tuo said softly: "It's the same...... But ......"

"But what!"

Seeing that his daughter wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang asked thoughtfully.

Zhen Tuo responded: "It's nothing, now I can only hope for the eldest brother." ”

The mother and daughter both looked melancholy, and after a while, Zhen Yan walked in dejectedly, and sighed for a long time: "He......y, I can only take the money to ransom people early tomorrow morning, for fear that the thieves will be evil again." ”

When Zhang heard this, he was stunned and asked sadly: "Yan'er, but Lord Zhou Mu is unwilling to send troops there?" ”

Zhen Yan nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Zhou Mu said that the war in the Tiger Prison is critical, and he is unable to draw troops to fight against the Black Mountain thieves, and he also asked us to give a thousand stones of grain." ”

"This ......"

Zhang was speechless, holding back tears, hoping to redeem his son as soon as possible.

At this moment, the old housekeeper Uncle Wang came over and said, "Second Miss, your three distinguished guests said that it was getting late and were ready to go back, ...... look?"

Zhen Yan turned her head to look at Zhen Tuo and asked, "Second sister, are there any distinguished guests?" ”

Zhen Tuo recalled that he had been talking to his mother in the room, but he had forgotten about it, and he was a little reluctant to go at the moment, and said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, you go and keep them first, and I will come later." ”

"Big brother, these three distinguished guests I met on the road, they are all extraordinary, one of them subdued the frightened horse with his bare hands, I wanted to ask them to help rescue the second brother, but my mother said that the officials and soldiers could not deal with this gang of thieves, so they could only let them leave."

"Oh!"

Zhen Yan responded, and then said: "If you really have some kung fu, you can invite you to go tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Zhen Yan accompanied Zhen Tuo to the front yard hall, only to see that Zhao Feng and the three of them had already gotten up, if it wasn't for Uncle Wang's stop, they would have already left, they wanted to get a delicious meal, but they drank a stomach of tea, and it was very boring.

Zhen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The three strong men are polite, the little sister is not well entertained, and Zhen Yan is under Zhen Yan, and the compensation is not." ”

Zhao Feng looked at Zhen Yan, his appearance did not seem to be good, but he had a natural state of wealth and nobility.

Zhen Yan said again: "I heard the little sister say, the three strong men stopped the frightened horses, and saved the little sister, they are the distinguished guests of my Zhen family, how can I leave with an empty stomach, Uncle Wang, tell the back kitchen, prepare wine and food, I want to entertain the three distinguished guests tonight." ”

"So, it's bothered!"

Anyway, the purpose of this trip is to get a delicious meal, of course Zhao Feng will not refuse, and heartily agrees.

The kitchen prepared the wine and food early, before it was dark, Zhen Yan held a banquet, indispensable compliments, after the wine and the five dishes, Zhen Yan changed his words and said in a deep voice: "I think the three strong men are not general, Zhen Yan has something to ask for, if the three strong men agree, they will definitely thank each other." ”

Zhao Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Zhen Yan, is it fake to ask for dinner emotionally, and it is true to ask for something to ask for, is it possible that he has already been recognized?

It shouldn't be! Although he easily beheaded Huaxiong, it was only circulated in the Kwantung Coalition Army, and when was it so famous.

Zhen Yan felt Zhao Feng's sharp eyes, and hurriedly explained: "When my second brother Zhen Yao went out to do business, he was kidnapped by the black mountain thieves in the Zhongshan area. ”

"That's what happened......"

Without waiting for Zhao Feng to finish speaking, Zhen Yan said again: "Please rest assured, there will be a hundred guests in my house who will go together tomorrow, I just hope that at the moment of crisis, the three of them can help with righteousness." ”

"Ding! The Emperor System Releases Selection Missions! ”

"1. Choose to fight righteously and help the Zhen family go to Zhongshan to rescue Zhen Yao, rewarding reputation value 200, and successfully rescuing Zhen Yao, rewarding reputation value 1000."

"2. Choose to give up decisively and leave the Zhen family immediately, you will gain the favor of the Black Mountain Thief, and when you play against the Black Mountain Thief in the future, the charm will be +10."

[Imperial System Tips: The higher the charm value, the higher the chance of subduing.] 】

"Please choose the host as soon as possible!"

Zhao Feng immediately responded: "Choose 1!" ”

If Zhen Yao can really be rescued, not only will he have 1,000 prestige points, but he will also be recognized by the Zhen family.

Zhao Feng said solemnly: "Hey, thanks to Master Zhen's attention, this matter will be handed over to the next to do, no need for five million money, you are ready for one million money, I will send someone to pick it up early tomorrow morning, as long as the thief does not kill him, I will have the confidence to save the person back." ”

Zhen Yan paused, looked at Zhao Feng dumbfounded, and said sluggishly: "You ......"

Zhao Feng hurriedly responded: "Master Zhen can rest assured, although he is not a celebrity or hero, he also knows his words and believes in his words, and he will not swallow your million dollars and run away, you will tell the place agreed by the thief in Xia, and there will naturally be a way to save people." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yan still looked incredible, Zhao Feng got up and glanced at a stone sculpture outside the house, which seemed to have seven or eight hundred catties to say the least, and walked over.

It doesn't seem to work without showing your hand!

Zhao Feng leaned out with both hands, hugged the stone carving pedestal, just raised the force slightly, and easily lifted the stone carving, you must know that the courage of the overlord can carry the tripod, and the weight of a thousand catties can be lifted, this stone carving is not a small CACS for Zhao Feng.

Zhen Yan looked at Zhao Feng with a shocked face, and said in shock: "Zhao Zhuangshi is really trying to pull out the mountain and cover the world, Zhen Yan is rude, okay, I will prepare the money early tomorrow morning." ”

At that moment, Zhen Yan invited Zhao Feng into the house again, poured wine in person, treated him with great courtesy, and told Zhao Feng the agreed place, which was a lot of relief.
