Yang Chengzu's face was still very peaceful, "Oh? If we don't stop, will we be hacked to death? Or are you going to go a little further and burn down the county yamen? You can say that it was not your doing, but it was useless, I caught those assassins alive, and I promise that they will not be killed. You know the methods of the Jinyiwei, and I can get the confession I want, so I want to ask you what you have to say now. ”

"It was an accident." Meng Blatantly did not deny it: "You must know that your forced parity and the normal operation of grain have caused many people to lose their money. And the businessman who has broken his money sometimes makes some drastic moves, but I can assure you that we have no intention of harming you and your family. At most, they just want to scare, but when it comes to actual operation, some stupid people fail to grasp the right balance. But fortunately, there is no loss in your family, and we can still sit down and talk. ”

"Normally? Do you mean that local grain cannot be allocated from outside, grain is allowed to enter but not to be exported, and grain from foreign grain merchants can only be sold to the yamen, and the price is set by the yamen? That's right, this regulation was set by me, and I also asked the ninth master to implement it, I recognize this. ”

"Because of the high price of grain in other places, we don't want to sell our local grain to other places, which is the rule I set in order to ensure the grain in Huaxian County. If someone breaks the book because of this rule, then I can only say that it deserves it. Scare me? Then I'm afraid they are wrong, I am not even afraid of the White Lotus Demon Sect, let alone a few Jianghu killers. My family did suffer some of the damage this time, but I can guarantee that the instigator will lose even more. I taught them a truth, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and killing someone is to pay for their lives. ”

"There is no loss of your family." Zhang Jingduan said: "We have already understood, but it was just a maid who was slashed, but she has been rescued." She's the only woman who might have a relationship with you, and the others, those who were killed, are themselves outlaws who sell their lives for that money, it's not to mention. The one who was bullied was a woman who was fragrant and full of buildings, not a chaste woman, and what she did was what she did. And that incident was not instructed by any of us, but purely by those people themselves. ”

Meng said openly: "Of course, we will definitely make amends." Please come out of Zhang Xianzun, just to tell you about this. I took out five hundred taels of silver, which I thought would be enough to pay for the bereavement and burial of the dead and wounded, as well as the cost of decoction and medicine. The rest, even if it's compensation. These victims are as cheap as mustard, and this money is already too much for them. ”

"I heard that one of your houses was burned, and I have a house in the north of the city, with three courtyards, and it cost a few hundred taels of silver to build it, and I brought the house deed and title deed. I guess these things are enough to make up for the loss of your house, right? As for the maid, the old man has a few newly bought girls here, which were sent by my friends in Yangzhou, who are very well-behaved and lovely, and will send them over when they turn around. ”

"Five hundred taels of silver, which is indeed a lot. It is indeed cost-effective to change a wing room for a large house with three courtyards. A girl, but only fourteen years old, has not confiscated the house, for a few Yangzhou thin horses, this business seems to be not a loss. Yang Chengzu patted the table gently, and Meng Gongran and Zhang Jingduan said with a smile:

"We're not in business, it's sincerity, and we really want to make you a friend. As long as you and Zhang Xianzun stop in time, I think we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

Yang Chengzu's face changed suddenly, and he slapped it on the table, "But, can any of you tell me, how can those dead people come back to life?" Those dead female guards are all mothers, how can I tell their children where their mothers have gone? Ruxian's sister, she is indeed from Xiangmanlou, and she has tasted all kinds of red lips, but she is now good, and she has the right to choose which man she sleeps with. She was bullied, do I have to tell her that you will do business a few more times, and I will count the money for you according to the money you receive? ”

"I didn't confiscate the house of Red Peony, and even I didn't know her well, but she was the one who took the knife for my mother. A woman who can be stabbed for my mother, do you think, can be exchanged for a few thin horses? Do you want to do this, I'll find you a few skinny horses, and you can find me a woman like this? ”

Seeing that he suddenly turned his face, the faces of the two changed, and Meng said openly: "If you are too little, I can add ......"

"Meng Yuanwai, you are mistaken, now we are not talking about compensation, but retribution. Reparation is the second step, the first step, is to have someone punished, my family died yesterday. It doesn't matter if they're guards or not, or whatever, they're all human. Also, my Ruxian teahouse and warehouse have also been set on fire, do you think this kind of thing can be counted like this? ”

"But you've killed a lot of people."

"Those people who died only deserved it, not punishment, and I'm talking about punishment now. I don't ask you to hand over your own people, but you have to hand over people, whether it's a subordinate, a manager, or anyone, in short, you have to hand over people. More than a dozen people were killed and wounded in my family yesterday, five of them died. You have to hand over fifty men to kill, and ten for one, before we can continue talking. ”

"It can't be done, we didn't hire those people. As I said, it was a group of businessmen who had lost their capital and came up with a solution that had nothing to do with us, I just happened to know the truth. ”

"Then you're out of luck." Yang Chengzu shook his head, "I don't care who is wronged or who is unlucky, what I care about is that someone is going to die, and that's enough." You can choose not to hand over people, it's nothing, the face of the big family, I understand. However, I will get the confessions of these people, and I promise that the confessions will point to you, and it is difficult for me to guarantee whether you will hand over people casually or your own family members. ”

"You claim to have a lot of households, and Zhang Xiaolian has literary friends all over Henan, so you should go to Kaifeng to inquire more. There are people over there who are just like you, desperate and want to scare the government, so they went to burn the treasury, and then they were arrested. I won't say what they paid for, you can contact them yourself and see how much they have paid, and then think about how you should talk to me. ”

"You can also choose to assassinate you a second time." Yang Chengzu said indifferently, as if he was talking about other people's business, and as if he was instigating these people.

"Since ancient times, there have only been a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, maybe the second assassination will be successful. For example, in today's banquet, you can choose to poison or ambush the dead outside the restaurant, and as soon as I go out, someone will cut me with a knife. If you go down with a knife, you can do it a hundred, maybe it's no problem, maybe it's okay. ”

When Meng Gongran and Zhang Jingduan heard this, they almost vomited blood in anger. This was said in front of Zhang Jiayin, and now if he really has an accident, won't he have to take the blame in disguise?

Meng said openly: "I will discuss with them about handing over people, but I am not sure whether they will agree." ”

"Meng Yuanwai, I am optimistic about you, you will definitely be able to convince them, work hard."
