The news of the fiasco in the Battle of Luanhe made Cixi sigh deeply, but she couldn't do anything, her subordinates were that kind of virtue, she was used to it, and winning the battle was a surprise!

"King Qing, don't be too sad, Zaizhen, this child is blessed, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune." She looked at Yixuan, who was crying and mourning, and comforted him and said, the news of Bodisus's death has been confirmed, and even the corpses were snatched back from the battlefield by two loyal Goshha, of course, she didn't know that the dead bodies by the Luan River were not taken care of at all, and she just went over to claim them, and now a large number of families of missing people have gone to look for them, and Yang Feng was so mad that he wanted to send someone to guard the fee there, but then he felt that it was too shameless to give up.

"Lafayette, the dog sacrificed his life for the country, that is also the glory of the old minister, the old minister will only be happy that he can die well, and he will never be sad about it, but the old minister is worried now, and I am afraid that after this war, Yang Wei will become more and more rampant." Yixuan said, he really wasn't worried about his son's death, this old guy had already sent someone to look for it, but he didn't find Zai Zhen's body all over the battlefield, only the corpse of his own soldier and the war horse he was riding, that is to say, Zai Zhen was not dead, and it was most likely captured by Yang Feng.

What he is worried about now is this problem, he seems to vaguely feel that Zai Zhen is not as good as dying in battle, Yang Feng is notorious, especially in terms of money, a villain who burns and robs even people's ancestral graves, and his son has such a big piece of fat in his hands, if he doesn't scrape off a hundred and ten catties of fat, it is estimated that it will be thundered by the sky.

"Hmph, what else can he do?" Cixi sneered and said, but despite that, she was still a little weak in her heart, judging from the current situation, there was no problem for Yang Feng to go straight to Beijing, since this was the case, don't let him break the jar, or don't provoke him anymore for the time being.

"Spread the will of the mourning family, and said that the soldiers who died in the battle by the Luan River were all killed by bandits. No one is allowed to talk about this war anymore. She hesitated and said to Yixuan.

"It seems that it can only be like this, let the rebel thief run rampant first, and wait for Yi Shuai's army to arrive, and Rong Zhongtang will lead the army north, and then see how this rebel can laugh." Yixuan said that Yiketanga had also trained a new army in Shenyang during this time, and was now heading south from Fengtian to prepare to attack Shanhaiguan.

At this time, the fat head and big ears, the auspicious grandfather Zai was dying of hunger in the prison in Linyu County, and since he was arrested, only one military doctor checked his body, and then made sure that he was unscathed. He threw himself directly into a separate cell, where the environment was undoubtedly as terrible as hell for him since he was a child, sleeping on moldy straw, guarding the stench toilet, the ground was full of bed bugs, and more importantly, he had been in the house all day and no one had brought him food and drink.

"Eat? You are not a prisoner's prison food, there is a quota for the prisoner's food and drink, how can there be a surplus for you. The jailer scoffed at his request.

Nima. I'm not a prisoner, why are you putting me here? Grandpa Zai shouted angrily in his heart, of course he couldn't say this, he still had to ask with a smiling face how to have food.

"Ah, you're going to have to pay for it yourself." He was then taken to the warden. Then I saw a very polite guy with glasses talking to himself in an official tone.

"But I don't have any money." Jae-jin cried and said with a sad face that the valuable things on his body had already been looted by the soldiers who captured him, and it was true that he didn't have a penny except for his clothes.

"It's simple, you can write IOUs. Then we go to your house and ask for it, and if we want money, we can deduct your food expenses from it. You can rest assured that we are very reasonable, we will never do that kind of thing to treat prisoners of war, of course, we can't feed you in vain, as long as you have money, even if you want to eat bird's nest shark fin, or even change to a more comfortable room, even if you need to find a woman, these are completely fine. The warden said with a kind expression.

That's not easy to do, just write, Grandpa Zai quickly took a pen and paper and wrote an IOU of 10,000 taels of silver, which was also stamped with his own handprint and handed it to the prison warden.

"Ten thousand taels? Are you sure it's that number?" The warden looked at the IOU and asked with a puzzled expression.

Jae-jin nodded blankly.

"I guess I have to remind you that this amount of money is only enough for two days of your basic diet." The warden said with a very kind expression.

Jae Zhen almost sprayed him in the face with a mouthful of blood.

"What is the most basic diet?" He asked in a trembling voice.

"It's very simple, that is, an ordinary dish and a soup, vegetarian soup, if you have meat, the price will be more expensive, you wealthy people don't know how expensive this firewood, rice, oil and salt are now, especially in this winter, everything is expensive, to be honest, I have to live a careful life now." The warden sighed and said, clearly dissatisfied with his quality of life.

Grandpa Zai was stupid, standing there speechless.

"Of course, in order to reflect the humane management of our prison, a monthly discount is being launched during this time, if you buy a secondary catering service of 300,000 taels of silver, that is, a meal with fish and meat, you can come with two special rewards of adjusting the housing and taking care of the maid ring from home." Looking at his expression, the warden said solemnly.

Zai Zhen didn't know that he was slaughtered as a fat sheep, but he was originally a super loser, as long as he could get out of the current sea of suffering, how could he care about money or not, wouldn't it be 300,000 taels of silver? I took it.

But he is willing to pay, and his father is not willing to pay.

"You go back and tell Yang Feng, I don't have this son, if you want to kill him, he will die quickly, don't expect me to pay a tael of silver!" Yixuan yelled at the messenger who came to the door with an IOU to ask for money, and next to him, the ghost of Zhenzhen's mother cried wolf and waved his claws wearing armor to scratch him, but even so, Yixuan, whose eyes were blood-red, refused to pay for his son's living expenses.

"This, this, what kind of dad is this, Qin beast is not as good!" After hearing the news, Yang Feng said with the same grief and indignation as Brother Dao, and then the goods thought about it, and said to the subordinate officer who played the prison director: "Go and tell Grandpa Zai, his father said that he should not give birth to his son, and the silver will not be paid for one or two, so we have to be sorry."

The officer hurriedly held back a smile and went back to tell Jae Jin.

Because it takes time to go back and forth to Beijing to prevent Grandpa Zai from starving to death, so during this time, out of humanitarian considerations, he was given a dry steamed bun and a glass of cold water every day, which tortured Zai Zhen to the point that his eyes were green, and he could pounce on the rats who only passed by the cell, and now when he heard the news, he was simply crazy.

"He should not have my son? Go and tell him that I don't have a father like him. Don't pay for it, do you? Over the years, who he has received, how much he has received, what he has said behind his back that he is afraid to meet people, and who he has dealings with Lafayette, I know very well, since he is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, if I don't pay for it, I will shake it all out for him. Jaejin shouted with his feet jumping.

Yang Feng's envoy hurriedly drove to Beijing to convey it to him, and Yi Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"This, this, this rebel!" The old guy burst into tears.

"Lord Wang, you are angry, in fact, the prince is also hungry and dizzy before saying this, there is a proposal below, to be honest, you must have to pay this money, right? After all, it's his own flesh and blood, so how good would it be to simply buy him out like this?" The messenger hurriedly persuaded.

"How much?" Yi Xuan gritted his teeth and said, this can indeed be considered, otherwise it is in the hands of Yang Feng, and he may not be able to point out any other bad moves in the future.

"Five hundred thousand taels." The messenger said with a slap in the face.

"What?" Yi Liang jumped up directly.

"Lord, listen to me, 500,000 taels is not only a simple matter of putting the prince back, we can also provide you with some special packaging services, for example, isn't the imperial court defeated? And it was a fiasco, but if Grandpa Zai was not captured, but was pulled behind when he retreated, and then lurked north alone, with great wisdom and courage until he reached Shanhaiguan, and found out the layout of our army's troops, at this time was discovered by our army, and after a fierce battle, he robbed us of a horse and killed it back? Our horse is an Arabian horse, which is completely different from the military horse of the imperial court, and of course you have to pay another 10,000 taels for this horse. The messenger said with a smile.

Yixuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, this is indeed a business worth doing, so that the official position of Zai Zhen after he comes back will definitely be kept, and Lafayette likes this kind of story the most, maybe he will be green-eyed, this year to put it bluntly, you have to master the army, only by mastering the army can you be invincible, look at Li Er's devil to know the way, otherwise he would not have bothered to get Zai Zhen into the new army, but the price is a bit too high, 500,000! The thought of this number made his heart tense for a while.

"Lord Wang, it's only 500,000 taels of silver, and your means have earned it back in a year, how can you get it back if you don't pay?" The messenger guessed what he was thinking, and whispered to the side.

"You allow me to think again." Yixuan hesitated and said, he still wanted to bargain.

"What else is there to think about? Lord Wang, you have to understand that our imperial court can't drive us away, and the reason why Lord Yang didn't enter Beijing is actually just to train troops in the north, do you think that the people in Zhongtang can stop us? So when it comes to the beginning of spring, we won't leave, if we don't leave, Grandpa Zai will have to keep it with us, 300,000 taels a month, when are you going to pay it? The messenger said with a smile. (To be continued......)
