Chapter 172: Promise Heavy Profit
Zhao Sigongzi visited?
Wang Mang and Lu Yuan glanced at each other at the same time, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
The fourth son of Zhao Sigongzi, who can make the housekeeper come to report and is very solemn, represents only one person in this realm, that is, Zhao Si, the fourth son of Zhao Shixiu, the head of the Nanyang Zhao family, the head of the four major families in Nanyang.
This person is the faΓ§ade of the Zhao family in Nanyang, and he is famous for his eight-sided exquisiteness, but if this person comes to visit in person, there is no good thing.
Lu Yuan frowned, and checked with the housekeeper again, sure enough, it was Zhao Si, looked at Wang Mang and said, "This person is not good!"
"Hmm. Wang Mang nodded, as soon as the holy decree arrived in Xinyang, Zhao Si appeared in Xinyang, thinking that Wang Wengui was now hiding in Nanyang City, Zhao Silai didn't ask, it was indeed a bad person.
Zhao Si is worthy of the name of the son of the Zhao family, although he does not look like a jade, but he is also a rare beautiful man, as soon as he saw Lu Yuan, he arched his hand very cordially and said: "Brother Lu, when I said goodbye, I didn't expect to meet here again today, speaking of which, the younger brother should come to visit Brother Lu as soon as possible, it is really the little brother's family affairs are busy, so I have no time, please forgive Brother Lu." β
Lu Yuan's face twitched, what Zhao Si said was as familiar as the two of them, but in fact, the two sides had met once in the capital Chang'an, and they didn't even know their names, and the real relationship between them came to Zhao Si's mouth, as if they were old friends who had reunited after a long absence.
"I am very happy to hear that Brother Zhao is here, Brother Zhao can have a good time in Xinyang this time, and let me do my best to be a landlord. Lu Yuan held Zhao Si and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Zhao Si didn't turn his face, he could only laugh.
Zhao Si stood up with a smile, glanced at Wang Mang who was standing on the side, and arched his hand: "This should be the Honest King of the Six Doors Catcher, right? Sure enough, he is young and handsome, a rare court handsome, I like to associate with young talents the most in my life, I don't know that Wang Catcher can appreciate his face!"
Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, this Zhao Si is really not simple, or the Zhao family behind Zhao Si is not simple, as soon as they met, they gave Wang Mang a dismount.
There is no doubt that before today, Zhao Si had never seen Wang Mang, but when he saw him today, he could tell Wang Mang's identity in one mouth, which can only show one point, that is, before coming, Zhao Si had done Wang Mang's homework, or that the Nanyang Zhao family had done Wang Mang's homework.
Wang Mang glanced at Zhao Si, arched his hand and said with a smile: "I often hear that Yada Junyi, the fourth son of Nanyang Zhao, saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation!"
Although Wang Mang did not say that he was the honest king of the six doors, he acquiesced to Zhao Si's words.
Everyone is a smart person, so there is no need to say it so thoroughly.
Zhao Si grinned and said, "Wang Zhutou is also worthy of his reputation. β
Zhao Si understands that this is an opponent, although this Wang is just a catcher, but he is very cunning and very difficult to deal with, plus Lu Yuan, Zhao Si understands that his original plan has been half in vain.
But the things that should be done still have to be done, and when the two sides are seated, the housekeeper brings the tea, and the two of them start to drink tea, and the three of them do not speak, quieter than anyone.
After a while, Zhao Si's eyes rolled, looked around, and then looked at Lu Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, although we haven't seen each other for many years, it's not like we haven't said a word." β
Lu Yuan looked up at Zhao Si, then at Wang Mang, and said helplessly: "Brother Zhao is here, it shouldn't be looking for me to catch up!"
Wang Wengui is in Nanyang City, and he can't get around the four major families in Nanyang no matter what, and the Zhao family, the head of the four families, can't get around, although he doesn't want to say it so straight, but Lu Yuan also knows that some things can't be bent.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhao Si's eyes lit up, and he smiled directly: "Brother Lu, refreshing people, since Brother Lu is so refreshing, it is inconvenient for the younger brother to go around the bend, the younger brother is here, there are three things to find Brother Lu." β
"Three things?" Lu Yuan's expression moved, he glanced at Wang Mang, and then said, "I don't know if those three things?"
"This first thing, presumably Brother Lu also heard about it, the imperial court is ready to raise funds to build Shizi Garden, after the local gentry heard about it, they were very interested, and also wanted to build Shizi Garden in the local area, for some scholars who lived in poverty, not to hide from Brother Lu, the news spread to Nanyang, Nanyang has already taken action, played the Nanyang order, raised funds, and started construction on a certain day. Zhao Si said and looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Sidao, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Naturally, there is a relationship. Zhao Si smiled and said: "Nanyang and Xinyang are not far away, the gentry of Xinyang have always been headed by our four major families in Nanyang, the news of the construction of the Shiziyuan in Nanyang reached Xinyang, and the gentry of Xinyang went to Nanyang to find my father, and asked to build the Shiziyuan in Xinyang like our Zhao family." Zhao Si took a sip of tea and continued: "This is the first thing I did when I came to Brother Lu, my four major families in Nanyang are willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to build a Shizi Garden in Xinyang in the name of Xinyang Ling, I don't know what Brother Lu wants?"
100,000 taels of silver were spent in the name of Xinyang Ling?
What a big deal!
Lu Yuan and Wang Mang both looked at Zhao Si in surprise, such a big stroke, the plan must be not small, Lu Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, and said: "When did the Nanyang Zhao family ever do a loss-making business?"
"The Nanyang Zhao family has never been in a loss-making business. Zhao Si opened his mouth and said: "If you ask for something, you must give it first, this money is given to Brother Lu, I only hope to get a promise from Brother Lu, which is the second thing." β
"What promise?" Lu Yuan leaned forward slightly.
"I don't need to say it, Brother Lu also knows that Wang Wengui is now in Nanyang City, the four major families have always had a good relationship with the River Yamen, and Lord Wei Changyou lives in the Zhao family's manor all the year round. Zhao Si said lightly: "The imperial court ordered Brother Lu to thoroughly investigate Wang Wengui's corruption case, and Lord Wei Changyou asked the Lu family to help mediate, and some things can be done as long as Brother Lu turns a blind eye." β
"Hehe, doesn't Fourth Prince Zhao know that the imperial court tied my Lu Yuan's head to Wang Wengui?" Lu Yuan sneered: "Does Fourth Prince Zhao want me Lu Yuan to joke with his own head?"
"In this matter, as long as Brother Lu agrees, we will help Brother Lu solve the affairs in the court. Zhao Si said with a smile: "To tell the truth, don't look at the movement of this matter, but the bigger the trouble, the more it will be solved in the end, and no one person has the final say in this world." β
"Fourth Prince Zhao, after saying so much, did you put me there?" Wang Mang opened his mouth with a smile at this time, although he was smiling, the murderous aura on his face could not be concealed.
Zhao Siyi turned around and arched his hand towards Wang Mang and said: "Wang Zhutou, after the matter is completed, the four major families will allow Wang Zhutou to be the deputy head catcher of the six doors, plus 50,000 taels of silver, I don't know what Lord Catcher thinks?"
That's a lot of money!
Wang Mang opened his mouth, and finally saw the power of the four major families in Nanyang, and strengthened his determination to eradicate the four major families.
The side of the couch does not allow others to snore!
As the emperor and the son of heaven, how can he let others divide his authority, and how can he let some landlords control the appointment of officials!
