Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Are you sure it's just two people?" ”

Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood, but frowned and said: "This third prince Zhang is a talent, but unfortunately it is not easy to subdue him." This person is one of the 'Four Sons of Beijing', and his style, character, and talent are all outstanding, but I heard that he is very stubborn. ”

Yun Yuhong was stunned for a moment, "Stubborn? What kind of stubbornness? ”

At that time, the old lady of the Zhang family was still alive, and he loved him very much, and he personally took him to teach, and he heard that he had learned something when he was a teenager, and he also had a certain prestige in the Zhang family. It's a pity that after the old lady went, he accidentally cut off his legs during a mechanism production, and he was negative for a while. Zhang Shangshu didn't treat this son very well, and since then, he has ignored it, and later, I heard that Zhang Sangongzi was still kicked out of the house. Bai Ziyu recalled.

"Kicked out? So what else does he care about these things? Yun Yuhong said curiously.

Bai Ziyu sighed: "This third son Zhang is the ability taught by Mrs. Zhang personally, and his talent is also the best in the line of craftsmen of the Zhang family, according to the inheritance of this industry, Zhang Sangongzi should be the actual head of the Zhang family, Zhang Shangshu is in an important position, how can he bow to his son, this is also the reason for driving him away." Therefore, when he left, he also took most of the outstanding characters of the Zhang family with him. Later, when he became famous, some people persuaded him to set up his own door and really break away from the Zhang family, but he refused them one by one. ”

"For filial piety?" Yun Yuhong was surprised.

Bai Ziyu nodded, "Zhang Sangongzi has always hoped that Zhang Shangshu can change his mind and let him return to the Zhang family, and the most common sentence he said was 'parents who are all in the world', but Zhang Shangshu has never had any remorse." ”

Yun Yuhong smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all, "Marquis Jinghui still wanted to save the life of his second son before he died, but I want to know which son's life Zhang Shangshu would want to save before he died." ”

After the two finished eating, Yun Yuhong sent someone to invite Zhang Sangongzi, and now the disaster relief has improved, but the construction of the embankment is imminent, with the current state of the embankment, another heavy rain will collapse, the top priority is to take advantage of the good weather to carry out emergency repairs, and how to repair it needs experts like Zhang Sangongzi.

Yun Yuhong got straight to the point and said bluntly: "Third son, now in order to prevent the people from being flooded again, taking advantage of the good weather, I want to repair the embankment, I need you to preside over this matter." ”

Zhang Sangongzi sneered and said, "Why should I do things for you? ”

"You are not doing things for me, you are doing things for the people of Moyun, and you are also doing things for your Zhang family. You know in your heart who brought this disaster to you, I am not begging you, but giving you the opportunity to atone for the Zhang family's sins. "Yun Yuhong is colorful.

Bai Ziyu also persuaded: "What the third prince has done recently, he has committed a big crime, this is an opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and I hope the third prince will cherish it." ”

Zhang Sangongzi lowered his head and thought for a while, before raising his head and saying to Bai Ziyu: "Lord Bai said that he will make up for it, if I can repair the embankment, and even the dams and rivers of the whole country, I can protect Moyun from drought and floods for at least ten years, can I spare the Zhang family?" ”

Bai Ziyu was also stunned for a moment, and retorted: "Of course not, what the Zhang family has done is an unforgivable crime, for the sake of selfishness, how many people have lost their lives, how many people have died, how can the merits be offset." ”

Zhang Sangongzi gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, I don't want to live alone, just die together." Eldest princess, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate. After speaking, Zhang Sangongzi closed his eyes and looked like he was at home.

Bai Ziyu wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Yun Yuhong's eyes. Since Zhang Sangongzi is known for his stubbornness, it is impossible to persuade him to move with a few words, but Zhang Sangongzi's ideas are very good, but some things are not transferred by people's will, and whether Zhang Sangongzi's beautiful ideas can be realized is another matter.

Yun Yuhong pretended to ponder for a while before saying, "What you said is not excessive, but can you do it as the master of the Zhang family?" ”

Zhang Sangongzi opened his eyes and thought for a while, and took out a token from his arms, "This is the token of the head of the Zhang family, which was given to me by my grandfather, I can't do it as the master of Shangshu Mansion, but I can do it as the master of the Zhang family." ”

Yun Yuhong nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll make up our minds." ”

Bai Ziyu looked at Yun Yuhong with some concern, this matter is not handled well, not to mention the mouth, it will lose the hearts of the people, even if it can be concealed for a while, but it will also lay hidden dangers for the future, but when repairing the embankment is a top priority, it is not good for him to say anything more.

In the following days, Bai Ziyu was busy again, arranging the distribution of disaster relief silver and the resettlement of the victims with Master Ke every day, and discussing various things with Zhang Sangongzi to repair the embankment, and the whole person kept spinning like a spinning top. It's just that in these matters, Yun Yuhong can't help him, and she won't interfere in anything with Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu is the Qincha for disaster relief, and he has his ideas and dignity.

However, Yun Yuhong was not idle, although she promised Zhang Sangongzi that the matter of the embankment would not be a big one, but she did not pursue it all. She took the clever ghost to find the officials and businessmen who participated in the embankment project at the beginning, and cut corners and accepted bribes, "atonement for the crime" can not be done by Zhang Sangongzi alone, they can't run away, Yun Yuhong's requirements are really not much, first of all, all the family property is confiscated, used to comfort the victims and repair the embankment, secondly, all the personnel of the family go to work on the embankment, men, women and children can not be missing, when it will be repaired, when can it leave. Finally, each person writes a confession about their crimes.

Some of these people are very honest, seeing that the matter was revealed, Yun Yuhong did not arrest them and put them in prison or cut off their heads, they were already very grateful, so they obediently complied. Of course, most of them are not honest enough, either they don't admit it, or they want to shirk their responsibilities, Yun Yuhong is not polite, all the family property has been copied, and people are arrested and put in prison, but this does not mean that you can not work, but you have to wear leg cuffs and be watched by officials.

Yun Yuhong's approach was really relieving in the eyes of the people, and the name of the ghost king and princess spread louder among the people.

In the capital, Zhang Shangshu received a secret letter from Duchang City just after the early court, with only a few words on it: "The third son defected to the enemy, betrayed the second son, and the second son was arrested in the defeat of blowing up the embankment." ”

Zhang Shangshu was so angry that he scolded the "rebel" at first, but he broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it. Blowing up the embankment? This is not a trivial matter, how did it come to this point, no one told him beforehand, the eldest princess can cure him of the Zhang family's sin with this alone. The eldest princess's methods are obvious to all, Liu Xiang and his party are not good in her hands, can his Zhang family hide from it?

Zhang Shangshu thought about it for more than an hour, the more he thought about it, the more cold sweat he had, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed that the Zhang family had no way to live, but he was not the only one who got the benefits, and Yu Shangshu did not take less money, It is better to discuss this matter with Yu Shangshu.

In the study of the Yu family, Yu Shangshu was also reading the secret letter, but what was written in his letter was much more detailed than Zhang Shangshu's. Since Bai Ziyu left, he felt that things were not good, and sent someone to keep an eye on them, and when Yun Yuhong also left the capital and rushed over, he felt that something was going to happen.

For Yun Yuhong, Yu Shangshu has an indescribable fear, of course, not only because of the army of ghost kings stationed not far from the city, but also because of Yun Yuhong's toughness and domineering, but because since Yun Yuhong appeared, the Yu family has begun to decline, in just one year, the Yu family's wealth has shrunk by half, and all of this has more or less some Yun Yuhong's shadow.

First of all, Li Ziqiao was a gentleman in his eyes, a fat sheep to be slaughtered, but the fact is that this young man ran the shop he got from him well, first established himself in the name of his family, and then began to encroach on his business in some towns. By the time he realized something was wrong and wanted to fight back, most of his business had already been cleaned up. He also bribed several officials to find a reason to arrest Li Ziqiao, but they all returned in vain, and the news that he finally returned was that Li Ziqiao was the ghost king's person and could not move.

The second thing is that the uncle who lives in Peicheng is missing, and with his disappearance, the shops he is in charge of his uncle in the Peicheng area are either hollowed out or replaced, when he sent someone to investigate, he got the statement that someone took his uncle's seal and resold the documents, saying that his uncle sold these shops, and when he found that something was wrong to investigate, everything suddenly disappeared, but more than 30 shops were destined not to come back, and the only thing he could think of was that during that time, Yun Yuhong had been to Peicheng.

The third thing is even stranger. After the second prince came back from a trip with Yun Yuhong, he was not close to his grandfather, he used to meet always very intimately, but now he is very cold, and I don't know what Yun Yuhong said to the second prince, but this hand is ruthless enough, he pinned the glory and future of the Yu family on the second prince to become the emperor, but the second prince did not kiss him, did he still have hope?

In the end, the ghost king and Bai Ziyu brought some officials, and these officials were in charge of water transportation. It's a pity that when he asked about the price, Yu Shangshu gritted his teeth with hatred, others only charged double, and he had to charge twice as much if he wanted to use the boat at home, and it depended on whether there was any time for him to transport, Yu Shangshu knew that he was trapped, but if he wanted to do business, he had to use it. He didn't know if Han Yijun had anything to do with Yun Yuhong, but he heard that as long as it was Yun Yuhong, everything that Yun Yuhong wanted to transport would be free, which couldn't help but make Yu Shangshu think more.

Now, Yun Yuhong has gone to Duchang City again, the second son and the third son of the Zhang family are all in Yun Yuhong's hands, and there are still many handles held by Yun Yuhong, obviously the Zhang family is not good, but Yun Yuhong really just wants to deal with the Zhang family, or does she want to use this fire to burn to the Yu family?

The little guy outside came to report, Zhang Shangshu asked to see him, Yu Shangshu hurriedly welcomed people in, the two adults looked at each other's sad faces, and sighed, this time, they talked secretly in the study for three hours.
