Chapter 95: Coercion and Temptation
Wen Deyou fell from the clouds into the mud at once, and he couldn't react for a while.
Six thousand seven hundred yuan is not a small amount, it can be exchanged for ten thousand stone of grain, sold ten concubines, and in this Wenzhou Mansion, it is more than enough to build a large manor.
This huge amount of money, even if he sells him, he can't afford to pay it back, not to mention, the real estate in his name is all in the clan, and there is no shop outside, and the money he can receive from the clan every year is only 300 yuan.
Over the years, the Wen family has made a big business, and they have put some money outside, so that they have some savings, and now, everything has become a thing of the past.
Zhang Mu carried the teapot, drank a few sips, sat on the bench with a wipe of his mouth, cocked Erlang's legs and smiled: "Brother Wen, do you give a happy word?" ”
Wen Deyou is not a vegetarian in the end, he stood up and wanted to grab the IOU in Zhang Mu's hand, anyway, this is the territory of his Wen family, but as soon as he took a step, he stepped up sternly, attacked with one palm, and exploded with every inch.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, Wen Deyou hit the back wall like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground with a bang against the wall, clutching his chest, unable to say a word for a long time, and his mouth overflowed with blood.
Yan walked over, grabbed Wen Deyou's hair, and dragged him to Zhang Mu, then Han Fangshan raised his head, slowly pulled out the long knife, stabbed it on the table with a bang, and said in a cold voice: "Irrelevant people, if you don't want to die, get out!" ”
The gamblers around them ran away in a blink of an eye.
Wen Deyou knew that he had encountered hard stubble, and his intestines were blue with regret.
But he is a concubine, he has no power in the Wen family, and at this moment, he wants to die.
"A few strong men, if you give me a few days, I will definitely find a way to return it to you. My Wen family's huge industry, I can still get out of a mere 7,000 yuan. Wen Deyou hurriedly begged for mercy.
Zhang Mu sneered and said, "Really? Are you a fool to me? If you really have money, why did you borrow money from me just now? ”
"Just now I was confused with lard, you give me three days, just three days, I will definitely return the money to you." Wen Deyou explained.
"You say this to the ghost, kill to pay for your life, pay off your debts, and if you don't have money, take your life." After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he gave Han Fangshan a look.
Han Fangshan picked up the knife and put it on his neck, Wen Deyou was dumbfounded, he dared to love this merchant, he was weak and didn't eat, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat: "Strong men spare their lives, I beg you, let me go." I'll pay you back. Otherwise I will not die well. ”
"Wait." Zhang Mu waved his hand, then leaned over and asked, "Then tell me what you will give me back?" ”
"I'm ......, I'll go back and borrow it from my eldest brother, he will definitely not die without help." Wen Deyou said.
"Does your eldest brother have so much money?" Zhang Mu asked deliberately.
"He runs the business of the house, and he definitely has this money. If I tell a lie, I'll thunder five times a day. Wen Deyou saw that Zhang Mu was relieved and hurriedly said.
"Well, I'll give you a day, and I'll be waiting for you at the post station at this time tomorrow night. You just can't come up with so much money, at least you can bring it to me. Otherwise, I don't care if you are from the Wen family or the Shi family, you will not be able to escape your life. Zhang Mu sneered.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will do it." Wen Deyou's head nodded like a chick and rice.
"I'm staying in a post house in the city, get out." Zhang Mu said this, and frowned and drank.
Wen Deyou got up and ran, and disappeared without a trace after a while.
"My lord, is this person reliable?" Han Fangshan asked.
"It doesn't matter, it's his eldest brother I'm going to see anyway. Let's go, it's not too early, let's go back and rest. After speaking, Zhang Mu got up and walked outside.
――――――――――
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Mu was writing a recital for Lao Zhu in the room, and Jin Yiwei was the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and he had the qualifications to go directly to the room.
The border defense problem in eastern Zhejiang is already very serious, and with a few of them, it is difficult to shake the current situation, so Zhang Mu wants to know what Lao Zhu means.
After all, Lao Zhu only ordered them to exterminate the White Lotus Sect and supervise the border guards, that is to say, Zhang Mu only had the right to supervise the border guards, not the right to dispose of them, everything depended on Lao Zhu's meaning.
Therefore, Zhang Mu wrote what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his own eyes, and wrote 1510 to Lao Zhu, so that Lao Zhu could make a final decision.
After writing, Zhang Mu sealed the fire paint, and said to Han Fangshan: "Hurry up and send it to Yingtianfu." As fast as you want. The lives of several of us are at stake. ”
Han Fangshan understood, and went out with the letter at the moment.
At this time, Yan Yan came in and said, "Brother Muzhi, the Wen family is here." ”
"It's them who are waiting, let's go." Zhang Mu got up and went downstairs.
When I arrived in the lobby of the post station, I saw an old housekeeper wearing a green coat and a small hat, about fifty years old, clean and simple, low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, polite, and at first glance, he was used to being an errand at the door of the mansion.
Only the servants of those nouveau riche families are dancing with their teeth and claws, and they cannot be lived, Zhang Mu knows that it is the rhythm of death.
"You are Yan Gongzi?" The old butler asked, hunched over.
Zhang Mu is now using a pseudonym and taking the name Yan Shi, so he smiled and said: "I am in the next place, I don't know what the old man is looking for me?" ”
"Don't dare, it's my eldest son who sent me to send you an invitation. Tonight in the Fuman Building for the son to catch the wind and wash the dust. Please also ask the son to enjoy the light. The old butler bowed his hand and said, then took out a red invitation and handed it to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu took the invitation and said with a smile: "I'm tired of going back and telling your young master that I will definitely go to the party tonight." ”
The old butler thanked him and took his leave, turned around and walked out of the station.
"My lord, is there a trap?" Stern and worried.
"How many of us are here?" Zhang Mu asked.
"More than 50 brothers from western Zhejiang have come, and there are brothers on their way here."
"There are enough of these people, I hope it's a trap, so that we can save trouble. You let people lie in ambush secretly, just guard against them. Tonight, you come with me to the feast. I'm here to see how capable this Wen family is. Zhang Mu sneered.
He nodded sternly and said, "Then I'll step on it first." ”
Zhang Mu turned around and walked upstairs, tonight's task is to get the Wen family, with the recommendation of the Yan family, and he also has Li Wenzhong's background, it must not be too difficult.
After getting rid of the Wen family, as long as you break into this circle, you will be able to find out their scale, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult to grasp the line of the Wen family and find out those traitors.
"Look at the black hole in front of you, let me kill him cleanly!"
