Yang Ning's eyes widened, he thought that this kid was just talking casually, and when he saw that he really wanted to take off his pants, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Your grandfather is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and taking off his pants in the hall is insulting, this will be spread, and the next time your butt will leave more than just a scar." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yuan Rong heard Yang Ning finally speak, tidied up his clothes, put a smile on his face, stepped forward, and said, "I knew that my brother would definitely not misunderstand me." ”

"Are you my brother-in-law?" Yang Ning stared at Yuan Rong.

Yuan Rong thought that Yang Ning was satirizing himself, and secretly thought in his heart that this guy who was a little dull in the past now also knows how to satirize people? But he smiled bitterly on his face: "Is my brother still blaming my brother?" Hey, no wonder you're unhappy, Jinyihou passed away, and I never came over to help, it's really mine. ”

Yang Ning thought to himself that there could be no true feelings between this kind of gentlemen, they were nothing more than friends of wine and meat, occasionally using each other's resources.

The Marquis of Jinyi passed away, and there were not a few princes, nobles, high-ranking officials and important ministers who were estranged during the mourning period, and Yang Ning was actually not very angry, after all, human nature is like this, there is no need to be too harsh.

"What's the matter with me?" Yang Ning asked lightly.

Yuan Rong smiled and said, "Brother, do you know that a few new painting boats have been added to the Qinhuai River recently?" ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Yang Ning was calm, "Brother Yuan likes to play and enjoy the wind and moon, so you can go and have a good experience." ”

Yuan Rong was stunned, only to feel that today's Yang Ning was strange everywhere, very different from the brocade clothes he was familiar with, and he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Brother used to like to play by boat, I wanted to come over to say hello, and ask my brother to go out for a walk, it turns out that ......!" ”

"Brother Yuan, my father has just passed away, don't you think it's too late for you to start mentioning these ups and downs to me now?" Yang Ning said angrily: "The requiem ritual in the house has not been completed yet, if I go out on a boat at this time, is there still humanity?" ”

Yuan Rong was stunned, then slapped his head, and said with a look of annoyance: "Blame me, blame me, it's not good for my brother, it's really confused." Don't be surprised, brother, I have no bad intentions, I just think that my brother was kidnapped and frightened before, and I am too tired to do funerals these days, and I want to take my brother to relax. ”

"We'll talk about it later." Yang Ning got up and said, "If you don't have anything else, I'll do something else first." ”

Yuan Rong hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it and said, "Brother, don't worry. ”

"Anything else?"

"It's a little sesame." Yuan Rong smiled: "Brother sit down and talk first." ”

After Yang Ning sat down, he asked, "Sesame trivial?" What kind of sesame trivial things still make you come to the door to talk about? ”

"This .....!" Yuan Rong took out a paper fan from his arms, shook his left hand in a dashing manner, and opened the folding fan, "Did my brother meet an assassin in the Zhongling Courtyard?" After speaking, he shook the folding fan lightly and pretentiously elegant.

Yang Ning thought to himself that it was October, the weather was getting colder, and you were still holding a folding fan to pretend to be elegant, and you were not afraid of dying of cold.

"So you know about this?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, "I heard that although the Zhongling Annex, although it is a royal courtyard, it is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and that Lord Yuan of your family is the ...... of the Ministry of Rites!" His eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You say, does the assassination in the other courtyard have anything to do with your family?" ”

Yuan Rong's face changed greatly, he jumped up from the chair, and said in horror: "You can't talk nonsense, brother, our old Yuan family really can't afford to say this." ”

"I almost died there, you know?" Yang Ning sneered: "If you can't afford it, you can bear it first, before the real culprit is found, I can only find the yamen in charge of the other courtyard, that is, the Ministry of Rites, in the final analysis, it is still your Yuan family." ”

Yuan Rong said with a crying voice: "Brother, you don't all say that in your house, right?" You don't really think it's an assassin sent by our old Yuan family, right? ”

"Everything is under investigation, and until it is clarified, everyone is suspected." Yang Ning said lightly: "Say, what is the matter with the sesame seeds you are talking about?" ”

Yuan Rong's forehead was sweating at this time, and the folding fan sped up, "Brother, I, Yuan Rong, vouch for my character, our old Yuan family really doesn't know anything about assassins. And you also know that our old Yuan family and your old Qi family have always been good friends, don't forget, your father was my grandfather who taught poetry back then, and you and I were world friends. ”

"Oh?" Yang Ning thought to himself that the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion and the Yuan family still had such a relationship.

Seeing that Yang Ning's expression was not good, Yuan Rong smiled bitterly: "I'll tell you the truth, Steward Wu of the Zhongling Courtyard, he is the nephew of the second aunt of the second uncle of the mother, this time you were stabbed in the courtyard, he was frightened afterwards, and finally found his mother, and then the mother begged his grandfather and his old man to come forward and try to make this matter as small as possible." ”

"Oh?" Yang Ning smiled faintly: "After all, you came today to intercede for Steward Wu?" ”

"I'm here today, of course, to see you." Yuan Rong immediately said: "Speaking of this, it's just by the way. Leaned over here and said in a low voice: "Then Steward Wu has another year, and he can be transferred to the Ministry of Rites as a director, which can be regarded as the end of the end, but who knows that at this time, in addition to such a bad thing." Shaking his head and sighing: "Of course grandfather will not find your house for this matter, my mother knows that I am friends with you in life and death, so ..... So let me come and talk about it. ”

Yang Ning touched his chin and said, "I see." ”

"Brother, brother rarely asks you to do something." Yuan Rong said solemnly: "But this time, my mother said it very well, and said that if I really am a brother with you, there is nothing that cannot be done, no, I think about our lifelong friendship, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

"Master Yuan, what you said is light, do you know, because of the negligence of those people, I almost didn't even die." Yang Ning said coldly: "You want to let this matter happen now?" Is this a child's play with my life? ”

"Don't worry." Yuan Rong heard that there was looseness in Yang Ning's words, and said in a low voice: "It is not easy for Steward Wu to get to where he is today, in order to get to the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to another courtyard two years ago. There is still a year left before he can enter the Ministry of Rites as a director, if the future is ruined because of this matter at this time, what will it be? So.....! After looking left and right, he approached Yang Ning's ear and said in a low voice: "As long as you Jinyi Houfu don't hand over the fold and downplay this matter, and the Ministry of Rites will spend some more effort to make this matter smaller, Steward Wu and the guards will not be punished too heavily, of course, they are willing to suppress the shock for you." ”

"Shock?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Yuan Rong smiled sheepishly and said, "They are willing to take some silver out as compensation for your fright, brother, what do you think?" ”

"Are you trying to bribe me?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, who was close at hand, "Don't you know that since my grandfather, there has been a rule in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion that you are not allowed to ......!" ”

"I know, I know." Without waiting for Yang Ning to finish speaking, Yuan Rong smiled and said, "You are not allowed to have money dealings with other officials." ”

"If you know, why do you have such a bad idea?" Yang Ning was calm, but he thought in his heart that he didn't know how much money Steward Wu's gang could come up with.

Yuan Rong said: "Brother misunderstood, they didn't bribe you, but thank you for saving your life." It is said that the assassin is very good at martial arts, if it weren't for you, the guards of the other courtyard would have suffered, and since the assassin killed those guards of the other courtyard, he would definitely do nothing and kill Steward Wu as well, so you are the lifesaver of all of them. The rules of your family's life are that debts must be repaid, and since they owe your brother, they will naturally have to pay them back. ”

Yang Ning's eyes widened, and Yuan Rong was talking nonsense seriously, which was breathtaking.

Yuan Rong smiled, leaned closer and whispered: "And as long as you agree, the silver will be transferred by me, and no one will know about it." ”

"If you have a debt, you must pay ......!" Yang Ning nodded slightly, "Our Qi family does have such rules. Leaning slightly, "Steward Wu, they also understand the rules of our Qi family?" ”

Yuan Rong secretly thought that this brocade-clothed prince had not seen him for a few days, how he seemed to be a different person, not only was he not sluggish, but he was shrewd and capable in his speech and demeanor, and he was also sharp in his speech, and he was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it, he understood what Yang Ning meant, stretched out a hand, first raised five fingers, and then put down two, and said, "They are willing to take out this number." He added: "Three hundred taels!" ”

"Our Jinyi Marquis Mansion has been incorruptible for generations." Yang Ning said coldly: "Since the old marquis said that he would not have money exchanges with any officials, I will naturally stick to this rule, come and prepare to send off the guests......!" ”

"Five hundred taels!" Yuan Rong raised five fingers and sighed, "They are willing to take out five hundred taels!" ”

"What about people?" Yang Ning glanced out, "Grand Prince Yuan is leaving, send off guests!" ”

The corners of Yuan Rong's eyes twitched, and his two hands stretched out: "Five hundred taels is from Steward Wu alone, and the other guards have made up a hundred taels of silver......~!" ”

Yang Ning said lightly: "My father fought on the battlefield, but there are rewards, they are all given to his subordinates, our Qi family has never been interested in silver money..... you know, I don't care about the amount of silver, but I can't help but defend the dignity of the Marquis of Jinyi." ”

"One thousand taels!" Yuan Rong gritted his teeth and said: "Stinky boy, there are only so many, think about it, he is in charge of a small courtyard, how much oil and water can he have?" It is not easy for these people to come up with a thousand taels of silver, and it is not easy to charter the best painting boat on the Qinhuai River, and it is only one hundred taels of silver to sleep with the most beautiful boat owner in one day, and the ordinary one has to be discounted by half, and three or four hundred taels of silver can buy a good yard in Beijing, you don't have to get an inch. ”

Yang Ning looked Yuan Rong up and down, and said with a smile: "They really can only take out so much?" ”

"That's all there is to it." Yuan Rong's face was not good-looking, "No matter what, you have to give me a copy of this thousand taels of silver, otherwise I will spend most of the day talking, and I will not be able to get any benefits." Picked up the teacup, drank most of the cup in one sip, raised his hand and pointed at Yang Ning, "I really didn't see it, you kid is very dark." ”

Yang Ning knew in his heart that a thousand taels of silver was actually not a small amount, and the assassination had already happened, of course the real culprit behind the scenes could not be the person who was in charge of Wu, even if the court punished them greatly, it would not do him any good, but in this way, he not only got the silver, but also gave Yuan Rong a favor.

"Yinzi is not in a hurry, you accompany me to a place." Yang Ning got up, "As long as you cooperate well, I will also give you face if you are busy today." ”
