Ouyang Jin waited for Yan Heng's uncle to bring Yan Heng's two brothers to him, to find him, the uncle, to help with the government, and to find a way to rescue Yan Heng's father, Yan Zhun.

He had already inquired clearly, Yan Heng's father, Yan Zhun, only offended the great grandmaster Yang Yiqing, and did not offend Xiong Xiu, the county's parent.

And the great master Yang Yiqing passed through Fenyi just to visit Wang Shu, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, who also came to Fenyi temporarily.

A few days later, Wang Shu, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, had to leave Fenyi after attending the birthday of his old lady, and the great master Yang Yiqing definitely had to leave Fenyi to inspect other places to study.

As long as the Great Grandmaster Yang Yiqing leaves, the disposition of Yan Zhun will naturally be decided by the parent official Xiong Xiu, and at most it will be reported to the Grand Grandmaster Yang Yiqing for approval.

Ouyang Jin has always had an excellent relationship with the county Lingxiong Xiu, and his Ouyang family is the big squire of the county, even if the parents of the county who are born in the two rankings of Jinshi are not able to sell face.

Therefore, Ouyang Jin was confident that he would rescue his classmate and friend, and for this reason, he also specially showed his anxiety about being imprisoned because of his classmate in front of his colleagues and superiors, and asked the jailer to be kind to Yan Zhun in prison.

Now there is no one who does not praise him for being anxious for justice and righteousness.

Even his cousin who was studying in Guozijian sent a letter back to praise him for not forgetting the way of a gentleman and the friendship of classmates, and it was not a fall to the reputation of the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Jin was very satisfied with this, you must know that he was originally the son of Ouyang's family, although he became a student in school, but he was not valued by the gang in Changfang, otherwise he would not have preferred him to be a clerk than help him to be an official.

Ouyang Jin does care a little about his reputation, after all, it is not good to gain a foothold among the gentry without a reputation in these years.

Otherwise, he would not have purchased Yan Heng's land at a high price, and there was also the idea that he couldn't let others gossip.

Of course, if he knew that Yan Heng's cousin was also fighting the Yan Heng family's land, he could use Yan Heng's cousin to steal it, and maybe he could share the Yan Heng family's land without spending a penny, and it would not damage his fame and fortune.

But Ouyang Jin now did not regret his high price for buying Yan Heng's field, he believed that as long as Yan Heng came to him for help, he would definitely have enough reason to "spend" the four hundred taels he owed him, and he could also make him willing to take out the five hundred taels he gave him.

"When the time comes, I will help the Yan family rescue Yan Heng's father, and the silver will return to my own hands, and I will not only have a good reputation for helping my classmates, but also earn more than 50 acres of good land out of thin air, which can really be described as fame and fortune!"

Ouyang Jin thought proudly, squinting and listening to the family singing a minor tune.

However, at this time, his most powerful housekeeper came over: "Master, the people who went to Qili Village have returned, Yan Heng and the brothers did not follow his uncle to the county seat, I sent someone to his uncle's house to inquire, but his uncle's house was doing a funeral, it seems that his eldest son was stabbed to death by mountain bandits." ”

"What does their family's funeral have to do with us, you can tell me that it matters, where are Yan Heng's brothers now?"

Although Ouyang Jin was looking forward to his fame and fortune by relying on his classmates' strict admission to prison.

But recently, Yan Heng's brothers have been delayed in coming to him, which makes him feel a little bad, so he ordered someone to go to Qili Village to inquire, and now he is also a little anxious when he hears his housekeeper.

"I heard his uncle say that the Yan family brothers came to the county seat as early as a month ago, and his uncle seems to have a lot of complaints about our family, and some people in the Yan family also said that we are too vicious, and while our father is in prison, we don't have to take 50 acres of good land and 60 acres of good land from two children, it's crazy!"

As soon as the housekeeper of the Ouyang family said this, Ouyang Jin immediately stood up excitedly:

"Nonsense! I sold his family's land that had been barren for so long at a high price of 900 taels, how can it be called a clever robbery?

I gave five hundred taels on the spot, and I also wrote an IOU, no matter how powerful my Ouyang family is, I won't be embarrassed to the point that I don't recognize the IOU, and I don't recognize the affection of my classmates! ”

"I also replied to him like this, but his uncle of the Yan family said that it was Yan Heng himself, saying that we didn't give the silver and didn't even have an IOU, and people in his clan said that his uncle's eldest son Yan Zhishi was killed because he wanted to take the land of his relatives and suffered retribution, saying that master, you will also go to hell if you take advantage of the danger of others to take away people's property."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, Ouyang Jin suddenly lost his breath, but did not speak, and only sneered after a while: "I was actually tricked by this yellow-mouthed kid!" ”

"No wonder he did not let me go to his uncle that day, for I was afraid that he would have known that his uncle and his cousin's family had already made up their minds in his family's fields, so that he might take the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful and sell me his hundred acres of barren land at a high price before his uncle and his cousin knew about it, and then he said in front of his uncle that he had bullied them and taken away their land by cunning, so that his uncle would not be able to take away the money I had given them;

is a good Yan family man, he is really calculating, and he deceived Uncle Shi and me! ”

Ouyang Jin slammed the table as he spoke, obviously already furious!

"Master, do we still have to take care of the affairs of the Yan family?"

The butler asked cautiously.

"Whatever! Did his behavior take me, my uncle, in his eyes! ”

Ouyang Jin yelled at the housekeeper a few words before he lost some of his anger.

But when he thought that he had been tricked by a twelve-year-old boy to buy a hundred acres of barren land for nine hundred taels of silver, he could have obtained it without spending a penny, and he was a little indignant, and when he thought that he had made a promise in front of many that he would not sit idly by and watch his classmates go to prison, he still had to order:

"First send someone to find out the whereabouts of the Yan family brothers, and see how they can save their father?

Hum! I don't believe that they can do anything on their own, tell the people of the county government that they are not allowed to accept their gifts, nor are they allowed to see them, and they are not allowed to say a word to them, otherwise don't blame my Ouyang family for turning their faces and not recognizing people!

When the two brothers have no choice, they will naturally come to beg me, and when the time comes, tell the Yan family that if you don't buy a generous gift to apologize to me, don't want me to help him! ”

Ouyang Jin first thought about whether to leave some money for the Yan family in the next few days, but now he vowed that this time he would make the Yan family completely bankrupt by saving his father!

……

Liu Jin also sat in a teahouse near the county government at this time, looking at the Yan brothers who were quietly talking on the street.

The brocade guard beside him couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law, you said that the two children of the Yan family really have the ability to let Nati learn to make Lord Yang spare his father's life, this Yang Yiqing is famous for his uprightness, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he didn't even give face to Xichang in the capital back then." ”

"I know Yang Yiqing, his ruler has always been strict, and Yan Zhun dares to provoke this person and is still not dead, and look at how the Yan family children deal with it, maybe he knows Yang Yiqing's shortcomings better than us."

Liu Jin said.
