"Is it private?" Wang Yuan touched his chin and muttered: "Isn't it too cheap for you." ”

"Erlang, folks in the township, when you were in Yong'an Fang before, the old man also took care of you. At least when you were down, you also gave Fang Ding an errand. For the sake of these things, shall we discuss it? Zhao Fang was gray-headed, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, looking very pitiful.

Wang Yuan sneered: "Are you embarrassed to mention the past? I was a shopkeeper that San Lang sold to you for more than half a month before you agreed, and besides, you have to take 30% of my monthly salary, is this what you call care? ”

"......" Zhao Fang was speechless.

"However, I don't care how you treated me before, today is a matter of facts, you robbed other people's private slaves and caused their death, this is the account I want to settle with you. If you want to be private, it depends on whether you have the conditions that satisfy me. ”

Zhao Fangzheng heard that there was a drama in Wang Yuan's words, and said happily: "Just don't go to see the official, everything is easy to discuss." ”

Wang Yuan sneered and was silent.

The movement in the Zhao family's house was not small, alarming several people passing by the door, they looked in from the gate of the courtyard without a gate, and found that Zhao Fangzheng and a group of Zhao family servants were lying on the ground, and they were very shocked for a while. After a while, many people gathered at the door to watch the excitement.

Zhao Fangzheng begged Wang Yuan in a low voice: "Erlang, let me ask someone to drive away the people in front of the door, how about we talk in detail?" Otherwise, if these people run to report to the officials in a lot of trouble, it will be troublesome. ”

Wang Yuan is also reasonable when he thinks about it, he came here today for a purpose, although Lan Xiang'er's death Zhao Fangzheng can't get rid of it, but Zhao Fangzheng is not the culprit. What I want to investigate is the origin of those evil ways, and it is not appropriate to let the government know about this matter for the time being.

With Wang Yuan's approval, Zhao Fangzheng got up and scolded the servants on the ground to get up. Except for Zheng Hu, the rest of the people were not actually injured much. The reason why he is still lying on the ground is purely out of self-preservation. Because the handsome young man who shot was staring at them with fierce eyes. Just now they were horrified by his ghostly skills, and when they saw Zheng Hu's fate again, they didn't want to touch their heads again.

When the men got up, they were ordered to disperse the people in front of the door. The people didn't know what was going on, and when they saw that Zhao Fang was moving freely, they thought that Zhao Fang was practicing fighting with the servants in the courtyard. After dispersing the people, they worked together to install two door panels on the gate, and then used wood to resist the back, which could be regarded as keeping the gate from falling, and it could be regarded as preventing passers-by from peeping inside.

Steward Ma limped out of the hall with injuries, and when he saw that Zhao Fang was fine, he put his mind at ease and pointed at Wang Yuan and shouted: "Wang Erlang, don't mess around, ...... in broad daylight."

"Bastard, I can't stop talking." Zhao Fang was busy scolding.

Steward Ma hurriedly stopped, and Zhao Fangzheng drank: "Aren't you ready to prepare tea and snacks to entertain Master Wang?" Bastard, do you want me to do it myself? ”

Although Steward Ma was suspicious, he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly turned around and went to make tea and prepare snacks and other things. Zhao Fangzheng bowed and said, "Master Wang, please sit in the hall, let's talk in detail." ”

Wang Yuan patted the soil on his body, walked towards the hall with his chest straight, and when he arrived in the hall, he sat down on a Taishi chair with a big thorn, and Steward Ma smiled and held a cup of hot tea.

"Tell me, what are you going to do privately?" Wang Yuan didn't drink tea either, just leaned back on the chair and shook Erlang's legs.

Zhao Fangzheng turned around and waved his hand, and even the horse steward and several servants rushed out of the hall together, and then turned around and said with a smile: "Erlang, the old man really doesn't know that Lan Xiang'er is your personal slave, so how about I pay you three times the price according to the market price?" A woman like Lan Xiang'er, if she is full of 100 yuan, I will pay you three times, 300 yuan! How about we get this done? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Zhao Fangzheng is really rich. A Silla maid is only one hundred and twenty or thirty guan, and you compensated me for 300 guan for Lan Xiang'er, wouldn't you suffer a big loss? ”

"It should be, it should be. The old decay was rude first, and inadvertently took possession of the private slave of Master Wang, and the extra two times the money should be the old decay's compensation money. I hope that in the future, I can release my suspicions with Mr. Wang, and we will have more contacts in the future. ”

Zhao Fangzheng smiled on his face, but he despised himself in his heart. After all, it's a poor ghost, so what if you become a bachelor? It's just a little bit, and I'm not happy to see these hundreds of times. This Lan Xiang'er is actually not worth a hundred times at all, you can buy any young and beautiful slave maid in Chang'an, don't you want to calm things down and take the opportunity to have a relationship with Wang Yuanlala? Otherwise, if you talk about 300 guan slowly, you will have to weigh 100 guan yourself.

But Zhao Fangzheng saw that the smile on Wang Yuan's face was getting colder and colder, and he felt that it was going to be bad, so he heard Wang Yuan say coldly: "Zhao Fangzheng, if you want to be private, you have to show true sincerity." When you arrive at the Yamen, you will first be punished with ten boards, and then you will be fined in prison. I'll do the math for you, one board counts a hundred, and ten boards are a thousand. Coupled with squatting in the class room for at least a month, a day is counted as a hundred, and a month is three thousand. If the fine is a hundredfold of the penalty, the market price of a slave is at least about 30 yuan, and a hundred times is 3,000 yuan; That adds up to 7,000. You are a brute in your calculations, 7,000 guan, and you only give me 300 guan to settle it? Do you think I, Wang Yuan, am easy to bully and fool? ”

Zhao Fangzheng was stunned and said, "This ...... Jiro, how can you calculate this account like that? Seven thousand? I don't have 7,000 pieces of furniture, so if that's the case, you'll just take my life. ”

Wang Yuan stood up and said, "Okay, then I want your dog's life, and if you pay for your life, you don't have to settle any accounts." ”

Li Xin'er on the side took out a snowy dagger from her waist, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Fangzheng's clothes, and put the dagger against Zhao Fangzheng's throat. Zhao Fang's soul was scattered, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come slowly, come slowly, let's discuss." ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "What else is there to discuss?" You love money and don't spare your life, and I won't force anyone to ask for your possessions. I don't take any money, as long as you live, isn't that what you want? ”

Zhao Fangzheng said in a trembling voice: "Erlang, the old man knows that I offended first, but you can't force me to have no way to live." The old decay sold all his belongings and did not have a property of 7,000 yuan. Erlang, can you be accommodating and negotiating? ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "How to be accommodating? ”

"That...... A little less, a little less? How about a thousand? That's all I can come up with. Zhao Fang was pleading.

"No! At least 6,000 runs, and nothing less. Wang Yuan flatly refused.

"Or, two thousand? I can also make up this money by selling my land and house. ”

Wang Yuan grabbed Zhao Fangzheng's collar and glared at him, "Old dog, do you think this is a shopping in the West Market?" Drive a hard bargain? Are you going to the yamen to taste the taste of being in prison with a board? ”

Zhao Fangzheng begged bitterly: "I really can't take out so much money, do you think I can still have thousands of pieces of furniture in a small small square?" Selling children, selling daughters, selling houses, and selling land can't make up the amount you said. Rather than this, it is better to go to the yamen and be killed. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Don't cry poor with me, I won't be soft-hearted." Do you say I'm trying to blackmail you for a sum of money? Joke! I'm here to hold grievances for Lan Xiang'er. Although Lan Xiang'er is my slave, even I am polite to her, you deceived her as a concubine, you shouldn't have killed her. A young woman followed your old dog, just to have a peaceful life, you didn't treat her well, but she died, this is the reason why I came to you today. If you want to go to the yamen and squat in prison, I will fulfill you. Brother Li, take this old dog to the yamen, and talk to him in the province. ”

Li Xin'er sneered: "I shouldn't have been verbose with him a long time ago, just send him directly to the yamen to play the board, and we don't lack his stinky money." ”

Zhao Fangzheng collapsed on the ground and shouted: "Wronged, Erlang, you are mistaken, Lan Xiang'er was not killed by old decay, she was just seriously ill, and Lao decay also asked Lang to be cured by medicine, but unfortunately it can't cure her illness, so what can be done?" ”

Li Xin'er raised her foot and kicked Zhao Fangzheng's face, kicked him on his back and fell over, stepped forward to step on his chest and reprimanded: "You are still quibbling, how did Lan Xiang'er get seriously ill?" How can a good person become seriously ill and not cured? We know what you did to her. The hateful thing is that you carried her out of the house when you saw that she was seriously ill and left her to fend for herself. Even if you can take care of her and send her on the last journey, it shows that you old dog wolf heart and lungs, people like you are not worthy of living in the world, you should go to the spring to ask Lan Xiang'er for forgiveness. I'll send you to see Lan Xiang'er, and let you quibble in front of her under the spring. ”

The more Li Xin'er spoke, the more angry she became, the dagger in her hand was shining with white light, and Zhao Fang was dizzy. He wanted to hide what he had done, but unexpectedly, all this was known to others, and he was so shocked that he almost fainted.

Wang Yuan slowly stepped forward and grabbed Li Xin'er, whispering a few words, and Li Xin'er retreated angrily. Wang Yuan squatted down and said in a low voice: "Zhao Fangzheng, I won't talk nonsense with you, if you want to be public, I will take you to the yamen immediately." In addition to you forcibly occupying other people's private slaves, I also want to ask Jingzhao Mansion to find out the cause of Lan Xiang'er's death. If it is found that it has nothing to do with you, then you are lucky. It's because of you, hehe, you're an accomplice to the murder, so I don't need to tell me what the result is. ”

"Erlang, it's private, I'm willing to be private, six thousand guan is six thousand, but after a few days of accommodation, I will make money for you as a seller."

Zhao Fangzheng finally understood the seriousness of the matter, although money is important, but after all, life is more important. If it involves the cause of Lan Xiang'er's death, it is an extremely tricky matter, and I will lose my head.

"Very good, the money is not in a hurry, I can even accept that you write an IOU first, and I don't want to force you to be cornered. However, I am afraid that it will not be possible to lose the 6,000 yuan alone, and you still need to promise me one more thing. ”

"What else do I want to promise you?"

"It's a very simple thing, come with your ears."

Zhao Fang was moving his body with difficulty, Wang Yuan whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhao Fang's face changed greatly: "You...... Are you looking for him? Erlang, it's not that you're old and talkative, let's end this matter, it's better not to mess with them. ”

Wang Yuan shouted angrily: "Do you agree? ”

Zhao Fangzheng looked at Wang Yuan's sharp eyes blankly, and finally sighed and said, "That's it, the matter has come to this, what else can you do with the old decay?" Wang Erlang, the old man only said one sentence, it may not be good for you to make trouble. The life of the decrepit is not worth much, and you have a great future, so you can't take this risk. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "If you want to worry about me, you should worry about yourself." If you do this, I may not be held accountable to you anymore. But if you are stabbed twice, I will destroy your family and break your body into ten thousand pieces. ”
