The treasury of Great Xia has been empty for many years, and it has to rely on the blood transfusion of the chaebol like the Qin family to make up for the deficit. And princes and nobles like the crown prince and the king of Fu are gambling for fun in buying houses and land, and they often throw tens of millions of taels. Yang Zhi remembered that a philosopher said in his previous life: no matter what the world is, it is actually designed by the designer for himself. Not convinced? You carry a stone and go to the sky!

600,000 silver is not a small amount, if the current silver weighs nearly 20 tons, it is enough to pile up a small mountain. Yang Zhi played with a stack of thick silver tickets, and couldn't help but be a little unwilling: Why should I earn an extra 100,000 taels for King Fu and Geng Jin?

At that time, there was no shortage of brokers who relied on their waists, legs, mouths and tongues to eat between the streets and streets, and since they were playing the role of intermediaries, they had to take some commissions. Daddy Yang Yan is an expert in this way, Yang Zhi asked, only to know that the commission of thousands of taels of bulk transactions can reach up to one to two percent. Then so-so draw a one! Lao Tzu spent so much thought, and it was still cheaper for you to only charge 60,000 taels for labor fees.

Yang Zhi did not have the habit of taking his servants to arrange the score, so he asked Ah Fu to prepare his horse and went out to the mansion of the general of the forbidden army. A few guards followed him from a distance, thinking that it was also their duty to pretend that they didn't know how to let them follow.

Now the name Yang Zhi is so famous, as soon as the guards on duty in Geng's Mansion heard the words "Yang Zhi is visiting", they were like being struck by lightning, and flew in like frightened rabbits to report it. Geng Jin and Geng Chao, father and son, were surprised when they got the report at first glance. No matter how lazy this uncle is, he has no time to discuss his intentions at the moment, and he will come out together.

The situation in Chang'an had just calmed down, and Yang Zhi asked himself if he didn't need to openly turn his face with Geng's father and son like a madman. After a few words of greeting, he smiled faintly and went straight to the point: "Yang took the liberty to visit, and he didn't dare to bother the general to accompany him personally." I have some trivial things to ask Brother Geng for advice, I don't know if there is a quiet place to go in the house? ”

This person's martial arts skills are extremely fierce and treacherous, is it to leave a way out in the future? Or do you have a like-minded heart to test it first? As long as you come, it's easy to do, at least it means that it's not monolithic! Geng Jin and his son quickly exchanged glances, and their faces suddenly became happy.

Geng Jin said very cooperatively: "The Flying Tiger Marquis is serious. You can talk to the children to the back garden of the flower pavilion in detail, and the old man will strictly order the servants and maids in the house not to disturb each other. ”

Geng Chao hurriedly turned sideways and asked, "Brother Yang, please come with me." ”

Yang Zhi estimated that the father and son would probably be wrong. smiled: "The general doesn't have to be so solemn, in fact, I don't have to bother Brother Geng for too long." ”

Geng Jin was in charge of the 200,000 forbidden army and was responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, and was undoubtedly regarded by the emperor as the iron core of his confidants, and was quite trusted and favored. The mansion is vast and magnificent. Although it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather is still hot. The flower viewing pavilion is a small pavilion built on the rockery and water, and it is indeed a good place to rest and enjoy the coolness.

After the guest and host served tea and sat down, Geng Chao solemnly retreated to the servants and maids. Yang Zhi took out the silver ticket and said calmly: "Brother Geng." The day before yesterday, King Fu and Ling Zun entrusted the county lord to give away the mansions such as the Xianju, and at that time I asked myself that although I was ashamed, but it was disrespectful, and I took the title deed for temporary safekeeping. Yesterday, I have made a price of 600,000 taels to transfer to the prince, and according to the intermediary industry regulations, I will draw a 10% commission. This is 540,000 taels of silver tickets, and I bother Brother Geng to count them to see if the silver code is short. I have nothing else to do when I come to visit today, I just don't want to embarrass the general and Brother Geng in front of many subordinates in the palace. ”

Geng Chao changed color in shock, Huo Di got up and asked, "Brother Yang, why is this?" ”

"Brother Geng. You're not a simple-minded person. Why I did this, you should know very well in your heart. ”

Geng Chaoxuan sat back again, and said with a complicated expression: "Brother Yang and I have a friendship of fighting side by side in blood, and we have the grace of three lives. If the reward is not generous enough, you and my brother do not have to be polite, just say it clearly. ”

"I would not hesitate to die for my brother, but I would never let them die for me. You didn't understand what brother meant, and you didn't understand why I wanted you to write those two words Yang Zhi yesterday. Friendship and affection, if you feel that you owe it, you will not be able to pay it back for the rest of your life, and if you feel that you do not owe, you don't need to pay attention to it at all. Not to mention always thinking about paying it back. All I know is that my brotherhood will never be sold for a profit! ”

"So, you and I are not brothers. It wasn't before, and it wasn't now. It will not be possible in the future. Yang Zhi said expressionlessly: "Because you are not worthy!" ”

Geng Chao's handsome face immediately swelled into the color of pig liver, and his eyes said coldly: "I know that I can't repay Brother Yang's kindness for my sister-in-law's wife, but I am tired of Brother Yang's loss of official position and demotion." But I am grateful for Brother Yang's kindness and righteousness, so I know that I can't do it, why does Brother Yang say that I am so unbearable? ”

"Clever words!" Yang Zhi sighed: "I thought you were a bloody man. It means to have fellowship with you. When I returned to Chang'an and heard about you killing the son of An Guihou on the street, I didn't think about it elsewhere at first, and I was even a little moved in my heart. But on the day that the county lord of Yangcheng sent the title deed of the Immortal Residence, I felt that things were far from being as simple as they seemed on the surface. ”

Forced to look at him and said coldly: "At that time, everyone thought that I had died in the desert, so the emperor would praise and posthumously praise me, so that I would have a reputation behind me." But you did not kill people in the street because you were grateful for my kindness, but because you took advantage of my poor wife's unwarranted humiliation and my reputation as a dead man! ”

Yang Zhi's sharp gaze made Geng Chao involuntarily feel a little timid, and he forced a smile to justify: "I also know that Brother Yang is very wise, but are you thinking too much?" ”

Yang Zhi slowly shook his head and said, "It's not that I think too much, but that you are too scheming, too small, and too cold-blooded." Although my fourth brother is still young, he is a good man and a big husband! He is sincere and sincere, and it is reasonable for him to stand up for his sister-in-law. General Wei was cautious, diligent and thrifty, and led hundreds of thousands of male soldiers to fight against the Turks for many years, and was a well-deserved first general in Great Xia, and he was the emperor's son and daughter. The Li family is powerful and deep-rooted, and it is comparable to General Wei. Feiyang rushed into the Hou Mansion and beat and smashed, and the little Hou Ye knew that he was at a loss first, and it was not a grievance that Dai Tian had to fight to the end, and later led people to storm the General's Mansion just because he felt that he couldn't get over the face, and Mrs. Wei did not enter the mansion to retaliate after she came forward to speak. ”

"If this matter is settled, not only will Wei Fu have the upper hand in terms of face, but Feiyang's evil breath will have already come out. King Fu and General Geng have been in the officialdom of Great Xia for decades, if they can't even understand this section, they will never have today's reputation and status. Why do you need to stand out for yourself? There is a way to do things by one person, even if you are grateful for my kindness and righteousness, and you are indignant and have the heart to vent for Yu'er, you just need to go to the little marquis alone to theorize. Why is it necessary to spread it widely in the military? You have led the army for many years, you should know that leaving your post without permission is a serious crime, and transferring troops without authorization is even more of a crime of complicity and rebellion, why do you need to incite and instigate Shen Chong, Dong Jian, Li Wei and other soldiers to follow? Your father and son are both in Chang'an. The cause and effect of this matter are not complicated, so why make a special trip to the General's Mansion to find Feiyang for consultation? ”

"Later, I returned to Chang'an without dying, obviously unexpectedly by King Fu and your father and son. Feiyang is my brother-in-law, Shen Zhong is my brother-in-law, and I have experienced life and death with you. The world knows it. I will not sit idly by and do my best. How could King Fu and Ling Zun not know? Why instigate the county lord of Yangcheng to come to the door to cry and tempt first, and then give it to the latter with a valuable immortal residence? ”

Yang Zhi stared at Geng Chao tightly and continued: "That day, the county lord of Yangcheng inadvertently mentioned that the prince had offered a heavy price of 500,000 taels the year before last, and he wanted to buy the Immortal Residence but couldn't get it. It was precisely because of her unintentional words that I was a hundred times more vigilant about the background behind this matter. Connect the many questions and think about it carefully, then you know that the reason why you killed people in the street is because after careful calculation, you tried to kill three birds with one stone! ”

Geng Chao's face gradually became gloomy. He said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

When Yang Zhi said this, his words were already slightly sad: "First, General Wei's prestige and grace are far above Lingzun. After this incident, the name of flying loyalty and righteousness will definitely move Chang'an. Your father and son are not broad-minded people, and they are not willing to be left behind, trying to use this to raise the prestige of the Geng family, so as to keep pace with General Wei. ”

"Second, in the midst of the bloody battle in the desert, the situation was urgent. I don't have time to take care of your face. Many of the words and deeds of you and me, the surviving soldiers have personally experienced, heard, and witnessed. After returning to Chang'an, whether it is your weight in the emperor's mind or your prestige in the army. It's not as good as it used to be. Yu'er's humiliation provides you with a great opportunity to regain your prestige and regain your prestige, and it can also achieve your great reputation for repaying kindness and righteousness. ”

"However, these two are not the main ones." Yang Zhi sneered: "Your main purpose is still to target the crown prince!" The powerful power of the veteran scholar clan of the Li family behind An Guihou is the foundation on which the prince relied to gain a foothold in the court. You openly slashed and killed his son in the street, which was a heavy blow to the Li family. It's another test of the true strength of the queen and the crown prince's line! ”

"If you act alone, you will be acting as a personal act of repaying kindness for yourself, and you will have no other name. In the short term, it is impossible for the emperor to completely get rid of his reliance on the Li family and the powerful forces of the Shi clan behind him in terms of political and financial resources, and it is impossible to allow the military forces to be too arrogant and strong. In order to balance the situation, it is very likely to take your head, and while appeasing the Li family, it will also give a stern warning to the military forces. ”

"Therefore, after repeated consideration and careful calculation, it is not difficult to think that the weight of the army in the eyes of the emperor is far greater than that of the Li family, and it is expected that the situation will be as big as possible. Therefore, you did not hesitate to publicize this matter in the army, and used my fame to incite and instigate the old troops who had returned from the bloody war, forcing the emperor to not hold the people accountable, so as not to provoke the forbidden army to mutiny. and then dragged Feiyang and Shen into the water, with the two of them on your back, there is no doubt that the emperor will have more scruples. In this way, you will not have to worry about your life. ”

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth word by word and said: "And there is only one reason for you to do this: King Fu and your father and son are both King Ning's people!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Geng Chao suddenly got up and looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes were full of shocking fanaticism: "Not bad! Thou art treacherous and cunning, and I can't deny that your words have come to this. My Great Xia country is flourishing, the soldiers are sharp and invincible, and domination of the world is just around the corner! A coward like the crown prince who has the talent of a woman and the gall of a rabbit, is he the one who created the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty? My father and son have been blessed in the world, but how can they be driven by the prince of mediocrity? In order to achieve a thousand years of achievements, what is it for me to betray the name of the villain in vain? ”

It turned out that Geng's father and son belonged to the die-hard radical faction that supported King Ning back then, and they were all fanatical militants who vainly sought to dominate the world in Great Xia! As the saying goes, people don't die for themselves, and it is not difficult to understand many other reasons.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, your father and son are desperate to support King Ning, and I have nothing to say." Yang Zhi sighed with pity: "Brother Geng, although the prince is mediocre and weak, this matter of abolishing the prince is not something you and I can decide. Politics is the most sinister and treacherous, you are a senior general of the young Zhuang faction of the new generation in the army, and you will be a long time in this life, if you are deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate yourself, it is very sad. ”

Geng Chao turned around and sat down in silence for a long time, and sighed with a sigh: "In this way, Brother Yang is determined to sit on the wall and watch the matter of competing for the prince?" If King Ning has a talent like Brother Yang, why worry about the big thing? In fact, King Fu and his father gave away the immortal residence to each other, and there was no malice. ”

"But there is no good intention." Yang Zhi said coldly: "In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, King Fu took the emperor's authority and became an idle prince for a lifetime. Is he really willing? The crown prince is mediocre and incompetent, and it is already very good to be able to keep the ready-made stall after succeeding to the throne. It is conceivable that if the crown prince ascends the throne as emperor, the possibility of King Fu and his descendants turning over is not too great. Therefore, King Fu must have secretly reached a mutually beneficial deal with King Ning in the future. ”

"The prince of Xianju doesn't have to buy it, he opened his mouth to buy it the year before last, because he wanted to show favor to King Fu and Ling Zun. And King Fu and Ling Zun categorically refused, making it clear that they would not give him face. But to say that they have no fear of the prince is also false. So in their eyes, Qi Xianju has become a shameful chicken rib to stay tasteless and abandoned. Take this opportunity to stuff it into my words, and I can repay you the favor of my life for you. In the future, if you have no choice but to turn against me, you will no longer have too much psychological burden. Second, regardless of whether I support King Ning in the future or not, the prince wants to buy it but can't get it, but he gives it to me for nothing, at least it can confuse the prince and make him think that I have a lot to do with you. Even if he has the heart to woo me again in the future, he will definitely have to spend more thought and energy. ”

Yang Zhi pushed the silver ticket in front of Geng Chao: "I'm not a saint, I have no power and no power now, and of course I like money." But if it's hot, I won't want it! The so-called Tao is not the same, I have no intention of being friends with Brother Geng from now on, I hope you don't force me to be your enemy. That's all I say, you can do it for yourself in the future! ”

got up and smiled coldly, bowed his hand slightly, and prepared to leave. Geng Chao pinched the thick stack of silver tickets for a long time, chased a few steps violently, and yelled with a hideous face: "Yang Zhi! Stop!
