Chapter 207: Fame and Fortune
Yang Zhen's question was quite skillful, and he didn't ask them if they were instructed by others, but directly determined that there were people behind them, so that the three of them were led by his nose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sure enough, the three of them showed surprise at the same time, and He Zhongmian couldn't help but say, "You...... How do you know that we have been compelled by men? ”
Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction again, and then said inscrutablely: "You don't have to know this." Now I ask you, who sent you to make trouble on my chessboard street? ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and it was a little difficult to speak for a while, obviously because they still had some scruples in their hearts. Yang Zhen was not in a hurry, just waited quietly, but a pair of eyes swept threateningly over the faces of the three people. Under his forced gaze, the three of them couldn't sit still, and He Zhongmian twisted his body in the seat a few times uneasily, and opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something.
In terms of scheming and qi cultivation kung fu, these three people are naturally far inferior to Yang Zhen. After a period of silence and feeling the increasing pressure, He Zhongmian finally said: "If we tell the truth, will you let us go?" ”
"Of course, I don't understand if I still have to raise you three young masters?" Yang Zhen didn't hesitate at all.
Seeing him so assured, the three of them finally made up their minds, and Han Guangyuan said: "We lost to Ren Qianshi in a gambling battle, so we had to agree to him to come to Qipan Street to make trouble." At that time, we promised him that we would not tell the truth......" He bowed his head in shame.
"Ren Qianshi, who is he? Are you all the children of eunuchs? Yang Zhen frowned.
"Exactly. He said that you had discussed it with the Four Seas Gang before, that's why you have that matter...... Just ask us to come here to make trouble and expose this deception, so that others can know our prestige. Zhang Zifan said with some hatred: "I didn't expect this to be clearly cheating us!" ”
"The same official eunuch, so why does he have such a hard time with me?" Yang Zhen didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Zifan's complaints, and only thought about the other party's motives. The Four Seas Gang came here to make trouble because of the relationship with Dongchang before, so what is the reason for this Ren Qianshi? Is it just to play tricks on these three sons, or do you really have something to do with yourself?
Unable to understand for a while, Yang Zhen had to ask again: "Then who is this Ren Qianshi's father?" ”
"It's Ren Zhigu, the squire of the Criminal Department." He Zhong said reluctantly. It is precisely because his father is a squire, much higher than the fathers of the three of them, that the three of them are at his mercy.
"Ren Zhigu...... Ren Zhigu ......" Yang Zhen had words in his mouth, and he always felt that this name was familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while. But at least one thing is certain, these three eldest young masters were used, and the person behind the scenes must be this Ren Zhigu who is related to him.
Now that he had got the answer he wanted, Yang Zhen didn't stay long, stood up and was about to go out. At this time, Han Guangyuan and the others were a little anxious: "Yang Baihu, didn't you promise us that as long as we tell the truth, you will let us go?" ”
Yang Zhen paused slightly, turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I mean what I say, as long as your family comes tomorrow, I will let you go." He was sure that the three officials would have compromised in the current situation.
Just as Yang Zhen expected, at this moment, Han Chongchi was coming to his study and opened a secret compartment hidden in it, which contained a lot of silver tickets and other belongings. This is the wealth he has accumulated in his more than 20 years of life in the sea, about fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.
In fact, if it weren't for being this Shuntianfu Yin who barely had much oil and water, his Han Chongchi's net worth would have been more generous. But now, because of his son's recklessness, he will be reduced again by five thousand taels of silver. Thinking of this, his hand holding those silver tickets trembled a little, these are all family belongings that he has saved by taking all kinds of risks.
When Han Gui came back alone and reported Yang Zhen's reply to him, Han Chongchi was angry at that time: "This Yang Zhen is really bold, he actually blackmailed the official!" Did he think he was the official of Jinyi Wei, so there was really no way to take him? A barrage of curses followed.
But after venting, Han Chongchi had to accept the fact that he really had no way to take Yang Zhen for the time being. After all, the other party is reasonable, and if he makes a big fuss, not only will he lose face, but he will also be referred to by the official and the imperial history. And Yang Zhen, when the time comes, he can deny that there is any extortion of silver. In this way, it saves 5,000 taels, but it is likely to lose his future, which is greatly impossible.
In addition, he also wanted to go over and ask Liu Shouyou for help, maybe in the face of being an official in the same dynasty, Liu Shouyou would help with this. But in this way, he, the prefect of Han, owes Liu Dudu a lot of favors. And in the officialdom, the most difficult thing to repay is the favor, even if you help him in the future, it is difficult to say whether the favor has been paid off. Moreover, he didn't want to be too involved with Jinyiwei's people, after all, he had his own pride as a Wenchen.
So after weighing it again and again, Han Chongchi had to accept Yang Zhen's request and exchange five thousand taels of silver for his son. When handing over the five thousand taels of silver to Han Gui with some reluctance, Han Chongchi was secretly ruthless in his heart: "Once that unscrupulous son comes back, I have to teach him a good lesson." If he doesn't grow up again, he will have to be sent back to his hometown to be disciplined! ”
"Did the master ask the little one to pick up the young master overnight?" Holding the five or six silver tickets of different amounts, Han Gui asked with some confusion in addition to being shocked by his master's generosity.
"Yes, you go and get Guangyuan back. After all, the longer it falls into the hands of Jinyiwei, the more disturbing it becomes. No matter how much he is dissatisfied with his son, the relationship between father and son is still the heaviest, and he is not worried about letting his son, who has always been pampered, suffer at the hands of Jinyiwei.
"Yes, the little one will go and bring the young master back." Han Gui saw that his master was a little anxious, so he hurriedly nodded in response, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait. Ask a few more subordinates to go together, and then bring the waist card of Shuntianfu, otherwise the soldiers and horses who watch the night will arrest you all. Han Chongchi admonished. At this time, it showed the superiority of his Han Governor's Mansion, and the other two heads of the six departments were afraid that they would not be able to take their son home tonight.
Yang Zhen was obviously a little surprised that Han Gui came back overnight and brought silver. Fortunately, because there were three more "guests" in the courtyard today, Yang Zhen did not let his subordinates go back, so he could handle it easily.
Seeing that Han Gui, who was not angry, took out the silver tickets and pushed them to himself, Yang Zhen unconsciously sighed and admired: "It seems that the Han Governor's Mansion is indeed a deep love for licking calves, and in just a few hours, he has made up so much silver to redeem his son, which is really admirable." ”
"Yang Baihu, you don't have to say cool things anymore, since you have accepted the silver, please return my son-in-law to me according to the previous agreement." Han Gui had no intention of talking nonsense with him at all, and said directly.
Yang Zhen was not annoyed by his rudeness, but smiled faintly: "Since Governor Han is in a hurry to see his precious son, I naturally can't help but know each other." Gelhei, go and bring Han Gongzi. ”
"Whoa!" Gelhei, who was waiting outside, received an order, and turned around and went to the east chamber. After a while, Han Guangyuan, who was worried, was brought over.
Han Guangyuan and the others had eaten something just now, and when they fell asleep on the chair, they were awakened by the Mongolian man Gelhei, who was five big and three thick, and then he was taken out. Even if Han Gongzi felt that Yang Zhen would not do anything to him at this time, he still felt a little drumming in his heart.
It wasn't until he saw his housekeeper Han Gui that Han Guangyuan's heart relaxed, and after shouting: "Han Gui ......", tears flowed out of his eyes. It's been too much for him for half a day, and now that he finally sees his family, he naturally can't help but feel emotional.
And Han Gui was also relaxed for a while after seeing his son-in-law, and finally there was no major problem, and he could give an account to the master. But then, he was a little angry and said, "Yang Baihu, didn't you say that you won't hurt my son-in-law in the slightest?" Why is it that there is a wound on his face? It turned out that he had discovered the scratch on Han Guangyuan's cheek, and he was immediately shocked and angry.
Yang Zhen didn't expect this layer, and touched his nose with some embarrassment at the moment, explaining: "The injury on Han Gongzi's body was suffered before he was taken down, and after bringing him here, we haven't done anything to him again." If you don't believe him, ask yourself. ”
Although Han Gui was angry in his heart, he also knew that this was not the time to care about these things, and the top priority was to bring his son home safely. So after a cold snort, he respectfully saluted Han Guangyuan and said, "Childe, let's go home." ”
At this time, Han Guangyuan was already frightened by Yang Zhen, and without his approval, he didn't dare to make his own opinion, and only looked at Yang Zhen. When Yang Zhen saw it, he was amused, it seems that this young master also has Stockholm syndrome. He waved his hand and said: "Han Gongzi, please, I hope you can be clever in the future, and don't be used as a gun again." ”
Han Gui stared at Yang Zhen hatefully again, and then left the small courtyard behind Han Guangyuan.
The next morning, the stewards of the other two families came again. Their response is the same as that of the Han family, even if they are distressed about the ransom cost of five thousand taels of silver, but for the safety of the lives of several young masters, they can only obey their lives.
So this time, Yang Zhen not only made a name for himself on the three official eunuchs again, but also got the benefits of 15,000 taels of silver from his family, and he really gained fame and fortune! And then, it's time to think about how to divide the windfall.
