"Water Water"
As soon as Jin Xiong opened his eyes, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he hurriedly called out loudly.
"The master is awake, the master is awake, quick, get the water." A middle-aged woman who was half-aged and still charming jumped up at once and shouted for someone to get water.
Soon, a servant girl brought a bowl of water, the beautiful woman took it, walked to Hu's bedside, and carefully waited for Jin Xiong to drink it.
"Ouch, my head is a little heavy, ma'am, how long have I been asleep?" Jin Xiong felt that his head was groggy, and he couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged beauty in the room is the original partner of Jin Xiong's main room, Jin Lin's family, she has been married to Jin Xiong for many years, and Jin Changwei is the only son of her and Jin Xiong. ”
Jin Xiong jumped up all of a sudden, and said anxiously, "What? A day and a night? What about Changwei? What about Weier, how is he? ”
It's really old, it's just such a dizziness, I slept for a day and a night, it is estimated that it has something to do with the exhaustion in the last two days, as soon as Jin Xiong came back to his senses, he immediately remembered his son who was arrested in Yongzhou Mansion, and couldn't help but take his wife's hand and ask loudly.
"Master" Jin Lin washed away his tears before speaking, and said in a choked voice: "After Wei'er was captured by them, she is still uncertain about her death, even if she is not allowed to visit, even if she asks about the situation, no one speaks, poor Wei'er, I don't know how much she has suffered now." ”
After saying that, Jin Lin whimpered and cried.
Jin Xiong was a little annoyed and said, "What's the use of crying, you women have long hair." The knowledge is short, has the filial piety been sent, has anyone brought Wei'er's handwritten letter to ask for money? ”
It's dark in prison, it costs money to drink a bowl of clean water, and filial piety is indispensable, and some people don't have any money on them, so they write trust jailers to take them out to find their families to get silver, so that they can live comfortably in prison, this is an unwritten rule, anyway, one is willing to fight. One is willing to suffer.
"No, the concubine stuffed them with silver, and no one dared to ask for it, and I ordered the steward to keep watch outside the door for a day, and no one brought letters. Master. Why don't they even want any money? Weier. What about Weier. After Jin Lin finished speaking, he began to cry again.
"Don't?" Jin Xiong sneered: "They are insatiable guys, they hate to suck up all your blood, nine times out of ten, the background of this matter is too big, and the people involved are too noble, they don't dare to stretch out their paws." Hmph, what do they think, I still don't know the way? ”
Nine times out of ten, Liu Yuan is behind the scenes, and now he may not know. is setting up Erlang's legs at home, waiting for himself to come to the door to beg him.
I'm afraid, Jin Supreme is going to be stabbed by him, no way, others have caught their weaknesses, Jin Changwei is extremely important to the Jin family, no, it should be himself, Jin Xiong's three concubines and four concubines gave birth to three sons and five daughters, the eldest son Changwei, the second son Changyong, the third son Changgui, Changgui was weak and sickly, and died at a young age, the second son Changyong was not only born by a concubine from Qinglou, but his brain was also a little not very bright, and it was good to take care of himself, so all hope was placed on the eldest son Jin Changwei.
However, others just made a fuss about him, and he hit the nail on the head all of a sudden.
The Jin Lin clan was stunned for a moment, after all, he was also from a big clan, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "Master, they want to eat the Jin Supreme?" ”
"Golden Supreme? That's a dream" Cui Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to eat the Golden Supreme, they still lack a good pair of teeth." ”
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Jin Xiong waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about these things, you women and Taoist people don't care, go, let people prepare a car for me, I want to go out of the road." ”
"Yes, master, the concubine will go and prepare."
When Jin Lin ordered someone to prepare the car, Jin Xiong took out a large box, opened it gently, stroked the rolls of papers, recently picked out a few and stuffed them into his sleeves, and then hurried out with his personal guard.
Half an hour later, Jin Xiong met Liu Yuan in a small living room in Liu's mansion.
"Hello General Liu, the little one is more disturbing, please forgive me, the first time we met, it is a small meaning, it is not a respect, and I ask General Liu not to dislike it." Jin Xiong said as he gently pushed a wooden box in front of Liu Yuan.
"Patriarch Jin is so polite" Liu Yuan said while opening the box casually, only to feel that his eyes lit up yesterday, only to see that the box was decorated with seven different colors, and the gems of the average size were very beautiful, and the quality was also very good, and the gems were easy to obtain, but the same quality, the same size and different colors of gems made up seven at once, it was really rare, Liu Yuan just looked at it lightly, and then the box closed gently, and said with a smile: "This is not trivial, Patriarch Jin is really generous." ”
"Where, where, General Liu likes it." Jin Xiong said with a sneer.
This kid has a really big appetite, Jin Xiongxin secretly screamed badly, because Liu Yuan just glanced at this gift, and closed it casually, like that, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Patriarch Jin, this is a pastry made in the palace, you can try it to your liking." Liu Yuan smiled and pointed to the pastries on the table and asked Jin Xiong to taste them.
Hmph, he is showing off his relationship with the emperor again, it is clearly bullying people, although Jin Xiong has some disdain in his heart, but in fact, he is a little red and jealous.
Liu Yuan is not in a hurry Jin Xiong is in a hurry, his baby son is still locked up in the prison of Yongzhou Mansion, when he thinks that Changwei may be bullied by the cell boss or other prisoners, Jin Xiong can't help it anymore, Liu Yuan is dragging it out, he can't wait.
"General Liu, listening to his words and watching his deeds, you are also a cheerful person, forgive the little bluntness, beg the general to raise his noble hand and let the dog go." For the sake of his son, Jin Xiong didn't care about his face, and lowered his head and begged.
"Patriarch Jin, what do you mean by that?" Liu Wu asked with a surprised expression.
Jin Xiong gritted his teeth, took out a few contracts from his arms, and said with a smile: "These people who were originally General Liu, because they were coincidentally ignorant, dug them up, so that the two families had some unpleasantness, and now their contracts are here, and they can be regarded as a complete return to Zhao." Please also ask General Liu to smile. ”
After speaking, he gently pushed it in front of Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan opened them one by one with interest, looking at the familiar names on them, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, these people were people who had high hopes and were ready to vigorously carry the training, but they didn't expect that they forgot their righteousness when they saw the interests and turned to the arms of the Golden Supreme. The worst thing was that Liu Yuan almost couldn't open as scheduled, and it's ironic enough to think about it now, like this kind of person who doesn't have much loyalty, even if he reaches the Golden Supreme, he is also a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
But. Liu Yuan just looked at it for a while, and quickly put it down. Gently push back in front of Jin Xiong. He shook his head and said, "Those who forsaken me yesterday shall not remain, and there is no need to worry about them today." ”
Jin Xiong's face froze, and then he bit his lip and said, "General Liu, Ming people don't say dark words, I don't know what conditions General Liu needs to let go of the dog?" ”
Both chips failed. Jin Xiong also knew that Liu Yuan's ambitions were more than these, so he couldn't help but ask with a calm face, he was ready, if Liu Yuan asked too much. It's a big deal for me to break the net with him, it's a big deal to take refuge in a prince as a backer, and then come and fight with him, it's a big deal to break up in two, neither of which is pleased.
Liu Yuan stared at him, smiled, pushed the wooden box back in front of Jin Xiong, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Jin really underestimates Liu. ”
"General Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Yuan put away his smiling face, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Liu is bright and fair, and he doesn't disdain to use this method, Young Master Jin is too impulsive, as soon as he came to the Chang'an Newspaper Pavilion, the guard didn't let him enter, and immediately ordered to beat people and smash things, but he didn't know that the princess was also inside, he took the lead in breaking in, and threatened to see one to beat one by one, and saw a pair of beatings, so the guard couldn't help but take action, and it happened that the soldiers of the infantry yamen patrolled this place, and that's it, Young Master Jin was arrested." ”
"But, but"
"Don't worry, Patriarch Jin, you listen to Liu first."
Jin Xiong hurriedly said: "Okay, good, good, General Liu, please, please." ”
Liu Yuan coughed dryly twice, and continued: "This matter is also a misunderstanding, Young Master Jin has some misunderstandings about the work of Chang'an Daily, he is young and vigorous, I also explained this matter to the princess, and the princess also accepted this explanation and decided not to investigate deeply, Patriarch Jin only needs to compensate for the damage to the gate of Chang'an Newspaper and the injuries of a total of ten taels of silver, and give the princess another meaning, the right is to be frightened, so that the prince can come out, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Liu just happened to have a little relationship, Jin Shao lived well in prison, ate well and lived well, There was no damage at all. ”
What the? It's that simple?
What did Liu Yuan say in front of him "misunderstanding", this can only be regarded as a joke, but now that people are under the eaves, he can't help but bow his head, naturally he can say whatever he wants, Jin Xiong thought that Liu Yuan would take the opportunity to blackmail himself and seek the status of Jin Supreme, just now he returned all the people who dug up, and he refused, thinking that his appetite was greater, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to only need to compensate ten taels of silver for the damage to the gate and the cost of personnel decoction and medicine, and the princess also sent a fright fee, forget it, it's so simple?
"That, General Liu, I don't know how much of this frightened fee is appropriate?" Jin Xiong didn't dare to slack off, and asked cautiously.
Liu Yuan smiled and said: "This depends on your mind, Liu suggested not too much, lest others think that the princess is blackmailing and damage the princess's reputation." ”
"The small one will be offered three thousand taels of silver, plus a set of Golden Supreme Wind Flower Snow Moon, General Liu, do you think it is appropriate?" It's best not to have too much, Jin Xiong hurriedly asked.
Wind Flower Snow Moon is a four-piece set of Jin Supreme's fame, the wind orchid, the flower chrysanthemum, the plum blossom in the snow, the moon reflecting the green bamboo, has been well received, the value is also expensive, all of a sudden to take out 3,000 huge plus a set of fine jewelry, see that the gold supreme is not only financially strong, but also very sincere.
Can it be insufficient? Now that Jin Changwei has been arrested, let alone 3,000 taels, even if he opens his mouth to ask for 30,000 taels, he still has to serve it obediently with both hands.
"It's just silver, jewelry, it's better to be free." Liu Yuan said lazily.
Now the jewelry of the gold supreme has been rumored to be the favorite of the Qinglou woman, who wants to wear it? Besides, this public opinion was still brewed by Liu Yuan, if the princess wore it publicly, it would make this rumor self-defeating, and Liu Yuan categorically refused.
This old guy, the little abacus is really loud.
Jin Xiong's old face twitched, he forcibly resisted Liu Yuan's insult in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, General Liu is right, the little one will prepare the silver immediately, I don't know where to hand over the silver, when will the dog come out?" ”
"Just hand it over to the Chang'an Newspaper Museum, don't forget my ten taels, as for Young Master Jin, don't worry, just send someone to wait outside Yongzhou Mansion, it is estimated that it will be released in a while, you will definitely be able to reunite as a family at night, well, don't forget this box and documents."
"Thank you so much to General Liu, thank you so much to General Liu, the general is really righteous." Jin Xiong thanked him repeatedly, for him, this time it was sincere.
Although I don't understand why Wei Lu would let himself go so easily, just let people out.
Jin Xiong thanked him again, and then said goodbye to Liu Yuan, he was in a hurry to send silver to the Chang'an Newspaper Office, and he was afraid that there would be a change.
"Husband, people are fish and meat, and I am a sword, this is a great opportunity, why let him go so easily?" As soon as Jin Xiong left, Cui Mengyao walked in and asked in a low voice.
Jin Changwei has a big head and a big brain, and he doesn't investigate, so he brings people to make trouble, and he just happened to meet Li Lizhen in the Chang'an Newspaper Building, which is simply a big gift, controlling Jin Changwei is equivalent to catching the lifeblood of the Jin family, and now the patriarch of the Jin Changwei family is sending it with a blank eye, like that, it is clearly the one who comes to the door to "receive the knife", as long as he is ruthless, the Jin family will not die and shed his skin, but Liu Yuan just gently lifted it and missed this rare opportunity.
Three thousand taels is not enough for Jin Supreme's profit for ten years, and it can't hurt the Jin family's fur at all.
Li Lizhi also walked in, her pretty face was also full of questions, and asked curiously: "Liu Yuan, you don't really want to replace Jin Supreme, as long as you open your mouth, this palace will also cooperate vigorously, such a good opportunity, but you gently let it go, this, not like your style?" ”
It's no wonder that Li Li is strange, Liu Yuan's favorite thing is to take advantage, and it is best to take advantage of the goose, and this time he asked for three thousand taels for himself, and he only asked for ten taels for repairing the gate and giving Lang Zhong the soup and medicine, this is too abnormal, right?
Liu Yuan showed a mysterious smile on his lips, smiled, and said proudly: "Who said I let him go?" ”
"Then you again"
"I'll tell you a story" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "The cat caught the mouse, sometimes it was not in a hurry to eat it, but put it away, and then caught it back, the reason why the cat let go of the mouse, that is, it was sure to catch it back, the mouse just resisted and struggled, but after repeated several times, the mouse collapsed, and Zhilu Dao couldn't run away, so he simply didn't resist, and let the cat deal with it." ”
After speaking, Liu Yuan looked into the distance and said with a meaningful face: "This is not the best time, hehe, look at it, the show is ahead." (To be continued......)
