"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, the third prince of Zheng Guo is simply ...... It's like a scoundrel on the street, and he just refuses to leave. Fan Hongji, the right minister, said, with a wry smile and helplessness on his face, it was obvious that this old fritter in officialdom, who had always been old and spicy, was also stumped.

Yang Mu groaned for a while, very puzzled in his heart, he had the impression that the third prince of Zheng Guo was a greedy and fearful of death, and he had been crying and begging to return to China, why did he suddenly change his temperament, like a leper dog, and the pestle would not leave in Cangguo?

"Do you know why?" Yang Mu asked.

"This ...... He yelled to take someone back. "The right minister reported truthfully.

"Take someone back?" Yang Mu was surprised, this is even more interesting, with Zheng Kang's selfish urine, how can he still care about the life and death of others?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has ascertained that this person has been very peaceful before, but an hour ago, after Zheng Guo's envoy visited the prison, his attitude changed greatly, and he was restless in the prison, shouting that he wanted to take people back."

"Who is he going to take back?"

"A military advisor, the minister has ascertained his identity, it is a military division sent to him by Emperor Zheng Guo, there is quite a disagreement between the main ministers, the last battle of the imperial city, the military division had discouraged him not to be greedy for merit, the two turned their faces, as for the twists and turns, the old minister did not dare to speculate."

"Oh? Interesting...... Let's go, let's go! ”

Yang Mu also felt curious, this matter is so abnormal, there must be something greasy in it, maybe that military division is really important to Zheng Kang, no matter what, I firmly believe that one thing is right, whatever the enemy desires, we will resolutely not give it!

The two gentlemen and ministers took a group of palace maids, eunuchs and guards to the prison under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department.

This is where the main prisoners of war are held, mainly some generals and important figures, Zheng Kang was held alone in a small cell, dressed in white prison clothes, shackled and handcuffed lying in the thatched pile, looking depressed, perhaps hearing the sound of the jailers outside kneeling and worshipping, Zheng Kang suddenly became excited, and looked out through the crack in the cell door.

But immediately, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly returned to his original position, closed his eyes and recuperated, looking indifferent.

"Yo, the third prince, you have a good temperament, you can still sleep at this time, but you really don't hear anything outside the window, and you only sleep lazy." Yang Mu came to the iron prison, looked at Zheng Kang who was wearing makeup with great interest, and teased.

"Humph! Emperor Cangguo, how can this prince say that he is also the royal nobleman of Zheng State, you imprisoned me here, such humiliation and contempt, you lose the demeanor of the king of a country! Zheng Kang opened his eyes and snorted in his mouth.

Yang Mu smiled faintly: "The third prince said this, it seems that he is too angry, as a prisoner of war, it is not bad that he did not torture you, but blamed me, it seems that you have not experienced the good life of the prison, in this case, I will come to see you in a few days." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" Zheng Kang was finally moved and stood up from the thatched pile: "My Zheng Guo's compensation has been delivered, you should fulfill your promise, right?" ”

"No problem." Yang Mu spread his hands and said, "I was going to let you go, but I heard from the right prime minister, you refused to go?" ”

"That's right!" Zheng Kang was said to the key point, a little anxious, and said: "This prince wants to take someone back!" ”

"The military advisor?" Yang Mu frowned and said, "In our agreement, we didn't say that we would release other prisoners of war, and they would all be sent as slaves to compensate for their crimes. ”

"One! Just one! Zheng Kang was anxious and pleaded: "The military advisor is a retinue sent by my father to this prince, if something happens to him, it is not good for this prince to go back and explain to his father." ”

"Really?" Yang Mu stared at his eyes.

"It's true...... Zheng Kang's voice was a little low, and his eyes flickered.

Yang Mu had some calculations in his heart, this Zheng Kang has been pampered since he was a child, and his kung fu to cultivate qi is a little worse after all, and he can see at a glance that his heart is inconsistent and he has something to hide.

He turned his head and glanced at the right minister, the two monarchs and ministers exchanged glances with each other, and then said to Zheng Kang: "How do you go back and explain, I am not interested in taking care of it, according to the agreement, those compensation are for you to atone for your sins, but it does not include others, I knew that you were going to take someone back, then it is not this price, unless you add more." ”

"Good! This prince is out, and the prince can still afford to redeem the silver of a military advisor! Zheng Kang suddenly became energetic and hurriedly patted his chest.

Yang Mu said: "Hmm...... How can I say that he is also an important person, just 200,000 taels, a big discount, and I will give you a 50% discount, and 100,000 taels of silver will be cheaper for you. ”

Zheng Kang's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "One hundred thousand taels? Emperor Cangguo, you are knocking! It's taking advantage of people's danger! ”

Yang Mu squinted at him: "You are wrong, we are a deal, it is up to you to redeem it or not, I will not force it, but ...... What is the danger of taking advantage of others? ”

"I ......" Zheng Kang was speechless, but now he didn't care about leaking his mouth, he was thinking about how to bring the military advisor back, and as for the ransom of 100,000 taels of silver, he didn't think about it.

100,000 taels! This is not a small amount, if it had been placed in the past, he might have agreed, but now it is not what it used to be, the 300,000 taels of silver just raised have emptied his family funds, and two cities have been returned, and the fiefdom is equivalent to half of the shrinkage, 100,000 taels of silver is equivalent to nearly a year's tax income, which is impossible for the fiefdom that has been stretched thin.

Thinking of this, he decided to retreat to the second, so his tone softened a lot, and said: "Emperor Cangguo, as the so-called being a man and leaving a line, we will see each other in the future, we can be regarded as not knowing each other, why don't you sell me a favor?" As long as he can see the military advisor, the prince will go back and give an explanation to his father. ”

"No, it's a deal." Yang Mu refused, and then said: "For the sake of everyone's acquaintance, 100,000 taels of silver will let you meet." ”

Zheng Kang's face turned green: "Why do you still need 100,000 taels, a price?" ”

Yang Mu shook his head and said seriously: "The ransom is 200,000 taels, and you will be given a 5% discount, as for the meeting, hehe, there is no discount, no discount." ”

Zheng Kang opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, sighed heavily, and sat on the thatch decadently.

Yang Mu said: "Now you are willing to go, right?" ”

Zheng Kang shook his head: "The defeat is decided, and it will be a death to go back, so it is better to live here." ”

Yang Mu instantly understood something, and said, "I heard that the envoy has met with you, it should be that something happened in Zheng Guoguo's country, right?" Why don't you tell me about it, maybe we can make another deal. ”

"Really?" Zheng Kang's eyes widened, and then he showed a look of vigilance: "How much silver is this time?" ”

"No money."

"Then why are you helping me, you...... Are you thinking about ......" Zheng Kang suddenly paused halfway through his words.

Yang Mu nodded: "It seems that you are not stupid, that's right, my Cangguo can cooperate with you, and even help you win the throne, as long as you cede your fiefdom to me Cangguo after you ascend the throne, how about it?" ”
