Before evening, Han, Zhang, and He had already sent people to ask for someone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Actually, this is also in Yang Zhen's expectation, after all, it was the eldest young master of their family who was detained by the brocade guard, so he couldn't do it in a hurry.

Although Jinyiwei is now in decline in the capital, even the servants of these official eunuchs don't take them very seriously, but when they came to the door today, these three stewards of each family still put their posture very low, after all, they are asking for help.

After reporting their identities, Han Gui and the others said cautiously: "It's all my son-in-law, who has collided with a few military masters." I also hope that you will raise your noble hand for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty as my family, and my family will never forget this friendship. ”

Although they were restrained enough, they still inevitably showed some condescending attitudes in their words, after all, they still didn't take Yang Zhen and them too seriously in their hearts, even if they had heard about what happened to the Four Seas Gang before.

Yang Zhen also seemed extremely sincere at the moment, and nodded again and again after listening to their words: "What a few housekeepers said is right, after all, I and the three adults are both officials in Beijing, and the so-called looking up and not looking down to see each other naturally wants to talk about some affection." Just when the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yang Zhen was going to let people go so easily, he changed his words again: "So, after I brought the three sons, I didn't have any beating and scolding, I just put them under house arrest." If not, let's see what happens to those people in the Four Seas Gang. Go back and reassure the three adults. ”

"Ah......" After being stunned for a moment, Han Gui finally understood that Yang Zhen was playing tricks on them. Immediately, his face sank: "Yang Baihu, you are a little excessive." We all sincerely came to apologize to you, although my son-in-law did something wrong, but to teach them a lesson, they also have their own family to do it, but you don't have to work for Jinyiwei. ”

"If they're somewhere else, it's murder, robbery, arson, or anything else that has nothing to do with me. But since they have come to make trouble on the chessboard street under my jurisdiction, then I cannot ignore it. Otherwise, by what means shall I rule here, and convince my men? Yang Zhen's answer was not accommodating at all.

This time, the three stewards were very angry. Usually they negotiate with people, and they have always been invincible in the name of their own master behind them, but today they hit a nail, and the faces of the three of them were a little unkind at that time. But they also know that now is not the time to be reckless, their young master is still in the hands of others, once they turn their faces and suffer, it will only be the young master, so they have to suppress their anger and continue to beg for good words.

After they spoke softly for a while, Yang Zhen said lightly: "Actually, this matter is not negotiable, but it depends on whether you have the sincerity to admit your mistakes." ”

This is already very obvious, and the three stewards can't help but feel disdainful in their hearts, it turns out that they are asking for money after talking for a long time, what is the difference between this and blackmail? But the initiative is now in Yang Zhen's hands, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only bow their heads and be slaughtered. In fact, before they set off, they did have such preparations, so the three of them took out a silver ticket from their sleeves and put it on the table: "There is a little silver here, just let my family make amends to the Jinyi Guards, and please Yang Baihu not be too little." ”

Yang Zhen casually took the silver tickets and looked at them a few times, then put them back on the table: "Since you all know that this bit of silver is too little, how can I be satisfied?" ”

"What? Three hundred taels of silver are too little? Han Gui couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly lost his voice. Although the other two families only took out two hundred taels, they also felt that Yang Zhen was too insatiable to say this, and they were immediately annoyed.

Yang Zhen sneered: "It turns out that the eldest young master of your three families is so cheap, is it only worth two or three hundred taels of silver?" Then I can give each of you five hundred taels of silver now, and I will buy them, what do you think? ”

"You ......" Several stewards didn't expect Yang Zhen to have such an attitude, and they didn't know how to refute it for a while. It's not that they haven't seen difficult opponents before, but it's extremely rare to see a master like Yang Zhen who doesn't eat hard and soft.

But at this time, people are in the hands of the other party, and they can only endure no matter how dissatisfied they are. After a long time, he pressed his anger and said: "Then according to Yang Baihu's meaning, if you want to go back to my son-in-law, how much silver do you have to hand over in exchange?" "At this point, there is no need to hide it, just tell the truth.

Yang Zhen stretched out his five fingers in front of the three of them, although Han Gui felt a little pain, he still nodded and said, "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels, as long as you are willing to let people go......"

"Who said I wanted five hundred taels? I want five thousand taels! Yang Zhen's face flashed with a sneer: "Your son-in-law is a baby pimple, how can he sell it so cheaply?" ”

"Five thousand taels? You're a Ming robbery! This is extortion! "Several stewards were really shocked this time, even if it was an official eunuch's family, five thousand taels of silver was not a small number. Maybe for the magistrate, five thousand taels of silver is not too difficult to get, but the Beijing official is different.

"What if I'm really extortion? I never took the initiative to arrest your son-in-law, they all sent it to the door themselves, who is to blame. Yang Zhen laughed and said: "Of course, you can also be too expensive and not give silver, I should also look at the faces of several adults and not embarrass them." However, it is impossible to say whether some of my brothers will be rude to the three sons. ”

This time, the three stewards were completely out of temper. People have already drawn out the way, and their attitude is so resolute, they are not afraid of offending their own master at all, what else can they do as housekeepers? In the past, they were able to settle many things, just because the other party looked at their identity as masters, and now Yang Zhen didn't take Han Chongchi and them seriously at all, so they naturally couldn't do anything.

"Well, since you must not be accommodating, we can't talk. However, you must ensure the safety of my son-in-law, or ......"

"Okay, as long as you bring the money, I will naturally release him as promised." Yang Zhen didn't give them a chance to threaten himself at all, and interrupted: "Three of you, please go slowly, don't send it!" ”

"Humph!" Han Gui and the others left with a heart full of chagrin and anger. And watching them leave, the brothers under Yang Zhen's hands immediately rushed over. They had already heard Yang Zhen's conversation outside, and they were really admired and worried.

"Baihu, do you really think you can knock out so much silver from them? Five thousand taels...... The three of them together are fifteen thousand taels, this is ......" Xia Kai's face was full of disbelief, and at the same time, he was fascinated. For them, a few hundred taels of silver is already a big windfall, and thousands of taels is an astronomical amount.

Yang Zhen smiled lightly: "These officials all have a solid family background, and they can still take out a few thousand taels of silver." I expected them to comply. ”

"That's a fortune." Several people sighed with emotion, although they felt that most of the silver would inevitably be taken away by Yang Zhen this time, as long as the leakage came out, they would be satisfied. At the same time, they thought again, no wonder Yang Zhen was able to come up with such a large sum of a few hundred taels of silver just after he came, it turned out that he had a way to make a fortune, but they didn't know it.

But while being happy, some people were still worried: "Baihu, if we do this, we will greatly offend the three officials, will they hold a grudge and be unfavorable to us?" ”

"They may hold a grudge, but if they want to deal with us, two directors of the six departments, and one Shuntian Mansion Yin doesn't have that ability." Yang Zhen pursed his lips disdainfully. Then, when he looked at the dark sky outside, he said, "Let's go, we should go and meet the three eldest young masters, and see what we can ask from them." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that their own hundred households were so calm, Xia Kai and the others were also at ease, and the worries that had just arisen were thrown aside, leaving only the hope of making a fortune.

Han Guangyuan and the three of them had long lost their previous arrogance at this moment, and they sat on their chairs in despair like three defeated roosters, their faces full of fear. They thought that Yang Zhen and the others didn't have the courage to imprison them, they were just putting on a show just now, and they would be released soon. But now that half a day has passed, the other party still has no intention of letting go, but it makes the three of them feel bad, obviously the matter is much more serious than they thought.

And what made them even more unbearable was that those brocade guards did not prepare any food and water for them. At the end of the day, they could endure the hunger in their stomachs, but the feeling of thirst made them unbearable. They had been bold enough to call a few times before, but the guards outside the door ignored the three eldest young masters, which made them even more panicked, and even had the illusion that the other party wanted to starve themselves to death of thirst.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and the three of them immediately looked outside with hope, only to see Yang Zhen walking in with a flat expression. At this moment, the three young masters, who had been physically and mentally devastated, had long lost their previous bearing, and when they saw Yang Zhen, they immediately admitted their mistakes: "Yang Baihu, we offended you by being confused for a while, and I hope that you have a lot of them, spare us this time." "If it weren't for the fact that they were still a little reserved, these people might have to kneel down and beg each other.

Yang Zhen didn't expect these three to be so weak, they were only hungry for a long time. He had to shake his head and sigh: "If you knew today, why did you bother in the first place? But don't worry, I won't really want your life, and now I want to ask you something, as long as you answer truthfully, you will naturally be indispensable for eating and drinking. ”

"Yang Baihu, please ask, we must know everything." Zhang Zifan hurriedly said, and the other two also nodded again and again in the back.

"Good." Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, then slowly swept over the three of them, and then said, "You must have been instructed by someone to do today's matter, who is that person?" ”
