"ps: I originally wanted to write about the Zheng family uniting the local forces to fight back, but I thought it was boring, so I sped up a little bit to enter the main line, and now the protagonist is at most a lazy tiger, how can it be called a night tiger."

———— the following text————

A moment later, Zhao Yu learned from Zhang Ji that Zhengzhou had come to visit with his cousin Zheng Qian.

"Yangcheng County Order, Zhengzhou, Zheng Zixiang ......"

Looking at the greeting post in his hand, Zhao Yu muttered to himself.

Although there is only a simple payment of 'Yangcheng Zhengzhou' on the post, it can be seen that Zhengzhou plans to visit him Zhao Yu as a child of the Zheng family this time, rather than as a county magistrate of Yangcheng County, but then again, Zhao Yu still has a good impression of this person.

After all, when the county magistrates of Rushui County listened to the instigation of the Marquis of Ruyang and his son and cut off the money and grain subsidies given to him in Luyang County, it was Zhengzhou, a child of the Zheng family, who stuck to his original promise and continued to fund Luyang for work.

It is for this reason that Zhao Yu and the Lu Ye Freemasons have not set foot in Yangcheng, which can be regarded as returning the favor of Zhengzhou, otherwise, look at Runan County, which also resists the Zhao family, now half of the shops in the city are hung with the sign of 'Lu Ye Gongji', and the county commander Liu Yi doesn't know what to do.

"Let's see. …… Prepare some food and drinks. ”

Ordering Zhang Ji to be dismissed, Zhao Yu sent someone to send a reply to the other side, responding to Zhengzhou's visit.

After receiving Zhao Yu's release of kindness, Zhengzhou naturally had no worries, so he took his cousin Zheng Qian to the second floor of Zhao's rice shop - considering that there are still many locals on the street staring at the two rice shops, the cousins who want to save face are walking through the back door of Zhao's rice shop.

Seeing Zhao Yu on the second floor of Zhao's rice shop, Zhengzhou bowed his hand while secretly looking at the child in front of him, who was said to be only eleven years old.

I have to say that this is the second time he has seen Zhao Yu.

The first time was at the banquet in the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, but when he heard the words of the Zhao father and son before leaving, he was keenly aware that the father and son might not be simple, and the facts proved that his judgment was correct, who would have thought that an eleven-year-old child would almost collapse his Zheng family.

From the side, Zheng Qian stared at Zhao Yu with complex eyes mixed with ferocity, as if he had seen an enemy, but fortunately, he still remembered his promise to his cousin, although the hatred on his face was clear, but after all, he did not attack.

After a little greeting, Zhao Yu invited the cousins Zhengzhou and Zheng Qian to the house where he had lived in the past few months.

The second floor of Zhao's rice shop is still relatively spacious, but because of the conditions, the second floor is full of Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng and other guards and servants resting on the ground, only Zhao Yu and Jingnu can also have a serious house, and there are some simple furniture in the house, but these furniture and furnishings are not worthy of the identity of the son of the countryman.

"It's really hard for the second son, and he still insists on being the enemy of the Zheng family under such conditions, which makes the Zheng family suffer heavy losses." Zhengzhou joked.

Hearing this somewhat sarcastic joke, Zhao Yu responded with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to, Zheng Gong, you think, I could have stayed in Luyang and took the guards and maids out to play every day, but now I can only nest here, thinking about how to calculate the Zheng family every day...... Why do you think this is the case? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Qian a few times, and the deep meaning in his words was self-evident.

Obviously, Zhengzhou also knows the reason, after glancing at Zheng Qian, he said with a smile: "In the next day, only as a child of the Zheng family, the second son should not be so formal, although the second son is still young, but according to the wisdom of the second son, we dare not dare to hold on, it is better to be like this, we wait for the same generation, if the second son does not dislike it, call the next son to ......."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was slightly stunned.

He doesn't know his words yet.

However, he still knows the words of his eldest brother Zhao Yin, Zhao Yin, Zhao Bohu!

According to this trend, his words are ...... Zhonghu?

Zhao Yu, Zhao Zhonghu?

"Hmm...... It seems to be a bit imposing.'"

Zhao Yu touched his chin.

"Second son?"

Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to be a little distracted, Zhengzhou's face showed a little puzzlement.

Only then did Zhao Yu react, arching his hand and saying: "Distracted for a while, it's not strange to be a brother like a child." ”

Zhengzhou smiled slightly, unimpressed.

After a while, the wine boiled, and Zhang Ji scooped a bowl of wine for Zhao Yu, Zhengzhou, and Zheng Qian.

It seems that all three of them are not very fond of drinking, so they will stop after tasting it.

After putting down the wine bowl, Zhengzhou clarified the purpose of this trip: "Today, the elders of the clan sent me to negotiate with your family, hoping that the Zheng and Zhao families would shake hands and make peace, and in this battle, my Zheng family lost 70,000 or 80,000 stone rice, which is equivalent to about 5 million yuan......"

On the side, Zhang Ji and Jingnu both showed shocked expressions.

is the so-called fan of the authorities, don't look at Zhang Ji and Jingnu who have followed Zhao Yu these days, but in fact, the two can't even say a specific amount of how much their Zhao family has lost, let alone the Zheng family opposite.

At this moment, they suddenly heard Zhengzhou reveal the specific loss number of the Zheng family, and the two were stunned.

Seventy or eighty thousand stone rice, equivalent to five million dollars?

You must know that this is almost an official warehouse in Luyang County.

The Zheng family lost the equivalent of a county's official storage grain?

Just when the two of them were shocked, they heard Zhao Yu say with a smile: "Oh, this is really scary." Brother Zixiang, don't scare the younger brother, the loss of grain and rice equivalent to five million yuan, I think your family can't wait to hire someone to kill my father and son, right? ”

"This kid is really smart......

Zhengzhou's eyebrows moved slightly, and he thought to himself.

Just like Zhao Yu said, he does have the meaning of 'scare' the former, and he basically told Zhao Yu: You asked the Zheng family to pay the price, but now the Zheng family has suffered heavy losses, you can almost get it, don't make it difficult for both families to end up in the end.

After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "It is true that someone has said such stupid things, but this kind of stupid words are just venting anger, who would really do that?" ”

『……』

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhengzhou a few times meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "That's what I said." …… Similar stupid words, my family also mentioned at the beginning, what to encourage my Luyang refugees to come to Ruyang, at that time I Luyang had nearly 10,000 refugees, and now there are even more, all of them are angry with the Zheng family......"

"This kid ......"

Zhengzhou couldn't cry or laugh, he raised his hand to stop it, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, this topic ends here." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yu and said, "I'll just get straight to the point, what do you need to do so that the Zheng and Zhao families can stop the current struggle?" ”

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "The Zheng family's shop, withdraw from Ruyang, and you must not set foot in it from now on!" ”

Hearing this, Zhengzhou was slightly startled, and Zheng Qian, who was beside him, was even more angry, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "Boy, you don't want to get an inch!" Do you think you've won? ”

"That's right." Zhao Yu nodded, looking as a matter of course.

Zheng Qian suddenly choked, gasped for breath in the middle of the sound, and was about to speak, but saw his cousin Zhengzhou stretch out his hand to stop him.

"Does it have to be that?"

Zhengzhou looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Second son, the Zheng family has already paid the price, even if your father and son are angry because of the incident that day, this resentment should be able to be eliminated......

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Brother Zixiang misunderstood, let the Zheng family suffer a heavy loss, this is not the purpose of the younger brother, what the younger brother hopes is that the Zheng family faces up to their original arrogance and gives me the respect and apology that the Zhao family has won." …… If the Zheng family refuses to accept this condition, then change it, let this prince take Wang Zhi's evil servant to my township mansion with gifts to apologize, and then let my family servant break Wang Zhi's evil servant's limbs......"

Zhengzhou frowned and said, "This is too ......"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yu and said: "This is the condition that the Zheng family proposed to my family at the beginning!" ”

Zhengzhou was immediately blocked and speechless, frowned and turned his head to look at Zheng Qian, seeing that this cousin wanted to speak and stopped, and his face was ugly, he shook his head helplessly.

But then again, either way, neither of these things is for him to decide.

After all, the Zheng family has a difference between the family and the family, and the shops in Ruyang City basically belong to the Zheng family, and he is the person who is the person who divides the family, so naturally he can't be the master of the family, as for letting the prince Zheng Qian take Wang Zhi to the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion to apologize, then he is even less qualified to be the master.

He thought for a while and said to Zhao Yu: "I will bring the second son's opinion back to the clan, but with all due respect, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, this time, the second son has already been angry, why be aggressive, can you look at the face below......"

Zhao Yu raised his hand to interrupt Zhengzhou's words, and Zhengse said: "Brother Zixiang, no, Zheng Gong, I have already given you enough face, and you also know that whether it is my Zhao family or the Luye Freemasonry, I have never set foot in Yangcheng, and even I have a lot of affection for the Zheng family......

Before Zhengzhou could speak, Zheng Qian was angry: "Do you have affection for the Zheng family?" ”

"Of course!"

Zhao Yu Zhengse said to Zheng Qian: "Zheng Zide, don't you think that I have no other tricks to deal with your Zheng family, right?" No, in fact, I can completely drive your Zheng family to a dead end, just invite General Wang Shangde Wang from Wancheng, General Wang is short of grain and rice in order to crusade against Nanjun this year, do you think he will let go of your family's rice for 90 yuan and a stone? If your family doesn't sell it, well, your Zheng family will offend the Wang family from now on......"

Hearing this, the two cousins Zhengzhou and Zheng Qian were shocked.

"No, it can't be." Zheng Qian's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You won't do that, otherwise it will be difficult for your Zhao family to get out of the matter......"

Zhao Yu didn't argue, nodded and said: "Yes, what the prince said, is another reason why I didn't do that, but it is undeniable that I still have some leeway for the Zheng family, otherwise as soon as I flip the table, the loss of the Zheng family will definitely be greater than my Zhao family, and far more than the current ......."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhengzhou and Zheng Qian a few times, and said: "The Zheng family withdrew from Ruyang, and they must not set foot in it from now on, this is the condition I proposed, correspondingly, my Zhao family's rice shop will withdraw from Linru, Lunshi, Jiaxian, Runan and other other Rushui counties, and will not oppose the Zheng family in the future." …… Only Ruyang, I will not let go, as the price of the Zheng family humiliating my father and son in full view of everyone that day. ”

After that, he added: "Today's Ruyang City is full of shops from my Zhao family and the Luye Freemasonry, even if I don't put forward such conditions, does the Zheng family think that they can still sell land and move things?" …… The Zheng family withdrew from Ruyang, and my Zhao family withdrew from the rest of the Rushui counties except Ruyang, and the two wells will not interfere with the river water in the future. ”

Zhengzhou thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Although it is excessive, but ...... It's not unfair. I will bring the words of the second son to the clan, and the elders in the clan will decide. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for Brother Zixiang's reply."

Two days later, under the greater threat of 'Wancheng King Shangde', the Zheng family decided to accept Zhao Yu's conditions after internal discussions.

In late May, four rice shops and two dozen other shops in Ruyang City were closed and resold to the Zhao family, and correspondingly, the Zhao family's rice shops in Linru, Lunshi, Jiaxian, Runan and other counties were also resold to the Zheng family and the Luye Freemasonry.

At first glance, it seems that the Zhao family has suffered more losses, and has exchanged several cities for a Ruyang, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this struggle is actually the Zheng family's loss, after all, Ruyang is the birthplace of the Zheng family, unless it is a last resort, how can the Zheng family withdraw from Ruyang?

For a time, the counties of Rushui shook, and the locals were dumbfounded.

And the name of Luyang Zhao has also spread all over the counties.
