An Guihou's son was split in half, and the Duchess of your family, Zhongwu, is now living more nourishing and happy than a little magpie, and she still wants to hit a rake and step on one foot again, the viciousness of this project is obviously beyond the imagination of Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun. As the saying goes, if there is no diamond, there is no porcelain work, if there is no face as thick as the city wall, there is not enough mind and eloquence to reverse black and white, Yang Zhi, who has always been low-key, will not easily release such cruel words.

Yang Zhi's first sentence after setting the tone turned out to be to go to the Marquis Angui's mansion to offer condolences. Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but secretly exclaim: The little marquis provoked your wife for no reason and was unwilling to make amends and admit his mistakes, but you came to the door to offer condolences regardless of personal grudges, what a broad mind this is! An Guihou has not even come to fart to the widely respected Mrs. Shen, what a stark contrast with the high wind and bright festival of the loyal and martial princes! As for how An Guihou will understand, whether he is willing to serve Geng Chao and others or fake mercy for Geng Chao and others, that is his business.

Xu Wenhan nodded and said, "If the third brother can go to the Martyrs' Shrine to worship with great fanfare before going to the Hou Mansion to mourn, it will be more effective." ”

Since you still have to stay on the altar for a few days, you might as well add a fire to make the halo on your head brighter. These two things are not very troublesome to do, but they play an immeasurable role in supporting the people of the government and the opposition and guiding public opinion.

Qin Kongyun asked uneasily: "It's not that I don't believe in the third brother's ability, it's just that ...... It's just that I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to get my wish. Third brother, when are you going to go to court to sue the royal court? ”

"At least ten or eight days later. Second brother, just rest assured, I will never joke with my brother's life. If you think about it the other way around, there are actually a lot of people who are in a hurry than us. Do you think An Guihou and the queen are not in a hurry? Will the emperor not be in a hurry? Will General Geng not be in a hurry? Today I let out the wind and said that I was sick in bed, and I closed my door these days. ”

Xu Wenhan smiled knowingly: "That's true." The emperor has ordered the Criminal Department to investigate the case in detail with the Imperial Guard's Office, and to put it bluntly, it is to temporarily delay it so that it can be considered how to deal with it. Even if he checked for ten days and eight days, An Guihou had nothing to say. The third brother escaped death and was sick in bed, so the worship and condolences can be done with illness, but the emperor will never forcibly summon you to the court. ”

Qin Kongyun sighed: "In the eyes of outsiders, the third brother is nothing more than to avoid suspicion, saying that he has no intention of interfering in this matter. The more anxious the emperor and General Geng are, the more favors they will owe you in the future. If it drags on for a while, it seems that the emperor is begging you to go to court. It's just that Feiyang, Geng Chao and Shen are suffering, and they will have to suffer a few more days in prison. ”

"There's no way around it." Yang Zhi explained apologetically: "I can only win this lawsuit and not lose it, otherwise Feiyang and their lawsuit will not be able to fight." I didn't do this entirely to create a false impression to outsiders and to make the Emperor and General Geng anxious, firstly, to have a psychological advantage of the initiative, and secondly, I really needed time to think carefully about how to play this thing around. ”

Before I knew it, it was noon, and Shen Yu came to invite the three of them to dinner. Yang Zhi pulled up the two and said with a smile: "The meal is as big as the sky, let's not talk about these nerve-wracking things first." When I think about it, I won't hide it from anyone. ”

Having said that, the uncertain fate of Geng Chao and the others weighed on their hearts like a boulder, and the three of them had no intention of drinking, only a symbolic drink. Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun left the Yang Mansion after dinner, and Qin Kongyun asked worriedly: "Big brother, do you say that you can do it like the third brother?" I always felt that when he came back this time, it was like a different person, and there was a faint evil spirit. ”

"The third brother's scheming is not inferior to his martial arts skills, he is outstanding, and I have confidence in him." Xu Wenhan said blankly: "I have known him three years ago, and my feelings for him are far from being like you, how can he act like an ordinary businessman?" He had never taken a step out of Xinyang in the seventeen years before he went to Jinling, where did his ability come from? After experiencing life and death several times, people can often understand and understand a lot of things, so that their style has changed greatly, maybe the third brother is precisely because of this! ”

Qin Kongyun said thoughtfully: "The third brother will definitely be a person who no one can afford to mess with in the future!" ”

Xu Wenhan smiled bitterly: "Why do you need to go later? Have you ever thought about it, when and who can afford to mess with him? ”

After the two left, Yang Zhi instructed the people and guards in the house to say that they were sick and thanked the guests, and from now on, all the outsiders would be gone. After that, he half lay down on the large couch in the study, and put on the most comfortable posture to go out alone. Once I calmed down, my mind was a little messy, and what I thought about the most was: what should I do in the future? Is it like Xu Wenhan who has the world in mind and takes it as his responsibility to work for the welfare of the people? Or do you want to be a famous general like Wei Su and Geng Jin?

He knew very well what he was now in the emperor's mind, like a hungry dog discovering a fragrant meat bone, or a chef suddenly discovering that an inconspicuous kitchen knife was actually extremely sharp. The emperor is the ultimate wholesaler of the official title of Daxia, in fact, he is also a happy contractor in order to grab business and compete for projects, and takes the low-cost high-ranking officials Houlu as wages.

Yang Zhi always thought that he was a lazy person in his bones. As Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, said, being the emperor is the hardest errand in the world, and the silly thing of pulling the mountain to occupy an area and calling the king the emperor is a laborious and laborious thing, so leave it to others to do. It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a plasterer who does not want to be a construction boss will always be a plasterer. But as long as the plasterer has the skill in his hand, he does not have to worry about starvation and cold. If you encounter a job of repairing a house and repairing a building, if people can't afford to pay the price, you can turn your ass and leave, and if you are in a hurry, you will pick up a knife and work hard with people! …… This is really an ideal career for you! As long as you feel that the salary is appropriate, what does it matter if you work for the emperor?

“…… Young master, young master! "I was thinking about wandering in the world, and I was pulled out of my complicated thoughts by the two calls of the servant Ah Fu.

Ah Fu is only three or four years older than Yang Zhi, and since he was a child, he was sold into the Yang Mansion as a slave because of his poor family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the master and servant are small. The little master came back from the dead and became a high-ranking official, Ah Fu thought that his worth had risen with it, and he secretly felt a little proud of the fox's fake tiger. After looking at the door of the study for a long time, he finally decided to knock on the door and come in, and asked the little master for instructions on some important affairs of the Yang Mansion.

Yang Zhi raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Young Master, you just ordered that all outsiders will not be seen these days. That...... If the emperor comes, won't you see him? ”

"Nonsense! You tell me? ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has had dealings with the young lady from time to time,...... Do you want to block the car too? ”

"She's Yu'er's guest, not mine, so there's no need."

"What if Mrs. Wei comes? There are also Mr. Xu and Mr. Qin Gongzi ....... ”

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "You can tell me, are they outsiders?" ”

Ah Fuxin said that there are so many people who usually have dealings with you, isn't it the same as not saying that you don't thank you? I suddenly felt a sense of power, and I still didn't give up and asked: "Young master, those people who usually come to play bird fighting cards with the master not only came here today, but also brought a lot of unfamiliar faces. The old man said early in the morning, whether raw or cooked, let me collect twenty taels of silver per person before letting them in. After you gave the order, the lord sat on the ground again and the price rose to 100 taels per person, do you see if it is ....... ”

Breaking open the heart of the beloved son, the old man Yang Yan is really not a good bird. After moving to Chang'an, the small life is no different from those idle people who eat and wait for death. Fortunately, the kidney function is also seriously degraded when you are old, otherwise you are afraid that you will be even more notorious. The old man who was born as a profiteer is very shrewd, and there are all kinds of people in these years, and the people who come to him may not all be the usual group of fox friends and dog friends. But who am I now? General Qinfeng Flying Tiger, first-class loyal martial arts father! Do you think you can make friends with me alone? A ticket of 100 taels of silver is not expensive!

It turned out that the reason for closing the door was to be quiet, and he was so tossed by him, and the house must not be made like a vegetable market? The old man is really dead!

Yang Zhiteng got up and sank his face, thought about it and smiled helplessly: "Even if the master can live to be eighty years old, he will only have one or twenty years. This is also a matter of being willing to fight, and the lord can let him toss as he pleases! …… You go and tell the master, and say that his son's signboard is more than this price, and I can't afford to lose that person for a hundred taels of silver. If he likes to collect money, he asks him to charge more, at least five hundred taels per person! ”

Ah Fu's eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground, and he was stunned for a long time before he closed his jaw, and asked sadly: "Young master, how can there be a son in this world who is so accustomed to his own son?!" ”
