Chapter 193: You must be ruthless
After Cheng Zirui came back from the palace, he deliberately hung Yu Wenyi for half an hour, Yu Wenyi was pressed in his heart, and he was hung for more than half an hour, during which he had already thought of thousands of possibilities, and became more and more uneasy.
"Lord Yu."
Yu Wenyi, who was in a trance, was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he was already kneeling in front of Cheng Zirui in the blink of an eye, holding the account book he took from Yu's mansion in his hand. "This is the profit account book of the Yu Mansion over the years, please take a look at the prince."
Cheng Zirui raised his eyebrows, "What does Lord Yu mean by this?" ”
Yu Wenyi raised his head cautiously and licked his dry lips. "My grandmother is very old, and now there is a fire in Yufu, and my grandmother is greatly stimulated and falls ill, and I am afraid that time is running out. Grandmother has been looking forward to someone in the Yu Mansion who can embark on a career to share the worries of the court, but the minister did not do well after all, I am afraid that the prince will be disappointed. Fortunately, there is still some idle silver in the Yu Mansion, and the minister wants to dedicate it to the prince, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of the court. ”
This is a clever statement, but the meaning is clearly that he wants to use money to bribe, and he wants to continue to sit in his official position.
Cheng Zirui walked up to him, pulled out a book casually, and turned two pages. If you really know how to do business, the profits of every day, every month and every year are very impressive.
This time, the siege of the palace killed and injured countless people, but despite this, the court still needs to make an appearance and distribute silver to the families of the soldiers who died in the war without discrimination, which is already a large amount of expenses. There are also palace walls and gates that were damaged and damaged during the fight, and they also need to be repaired with silver.
Although there is money in the treasury, it is impossible to take all of it from the treasury, so the ministers can only be generous. Although no one dares to be petty and unwilling to give silver, looking at the entire imperial court, it is really impossible to find someone as generous as Yu Wenyi.
Cheng Zirui threw the ledger in his hand onto the stack he was holding high, "Didn't your house catch fire and burn down half of the Yu Mansion, you brought so many account books, does the Yu Mansion still have money to repair the house?" ”
"There are still a few small shops under the minister's name, which are enough for tinkering."
Cheng Zirui laughed in a low voice, "It seems that your Yu Mansion is really rich." ”
Yu Wenyi chuckled in his heart, not sure what he meant by this.
"Did your grandmother know about that?"
Speaking of Mrs. Yu, Yu Wenyi couldn't help but sweat. "As long as I can share the worries of the court." In the end, he couldn't wait to lie on the ground, and added loudly: "In the future, the ministers will definitely do their best for the prince, and there will be no second thoughts." ”
Cheng Zirui bowed his head and called someone to put away all the account books in his hands. "Okay, your mind is known to the prince, since your grandmother is seriously ill, then go back."
After a pause, Cheng Zirui remembered one more thing. "Are the two green turtles that Prince Ben rewarded you with last time still alive?"
Yu Wenyi hurriedly replied: "It's still there, and the objects rewarded by the prince don't dare to slack off." ”
Cheng Zirui suddenly laughed, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand to make him stand down.
Yu Wenyi was stunned, and could only thank him for retreating. Along the way, he was terrified, one was afraid that Cheng Zirui would turn his face and not recognize people, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Old Madam Yu would be angry to death if she knew about it.
The next day, Cheng Zirui asked someone to go to the shop to withdraw all the cash, and then went to all the ticket numbers to take out all the silver tickets in the name of Yu Mansion, which made everyone in all the shops in Yu Mansion panic. Several of the shopkeepers asked to see Mrs. Yu to find out, but they were sent out by Yu Wenyi before they could enter Yu's mansion. A few people were unwilling, and they made a big fuss at the door.
Yu Wenyi suppressed the news, his heart was anxious and depressed, he couldn't eat or sleep, and the whole person was about to become a madman.
The next day, news came out from the palace, saying that Cheng Zirui alone took on the account of repairing the palace wall and compensating the soldiers, and all the money was paid by him alone, and he also handed over this important task to Yu Wenyi, a filial grandson who took care of his grandmother at home.
As soon as the words came out, the DPRK and China immediately discussed a lot.
Yu Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, although he was extremely distressed when he gave out the silver, but now he not only kept his official position, but also got a heavy responsibility. He can't help but be a little proud, he can still be so reused without resigning, which shows that he Yu Wenyi does have the ability.
He was really proud in his heart, but he didn't know that he had already stepped on the ghost gate with this kick......
Heyin County.
Someone sent the news from the capital to him, he glanced at it, and threw it on the ground.
"How many days have it been, and there is still no news from Madame?"
The man glanced at the paper ball on the ground, shook his head and said, "Arrangements have been made all the way from the capital to Heyin County, and I am afraid that the lady has dressed up in disguise, so she has not been recognized." It would be nice if there was a portrait......"
"It's not enough to hear about it, you still want to see it?" Yu Chong glanced over.
The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But there is indeed a portrait that is easier to recognize." ”
"If she really changed her appearance, you wouldn't recognize the portrait when she gave it." Yu Chong glanced at the teacup that was already empty, "Tang Qi, pour me a glass of water." ”
Tang Qiyi slapped his head, secretly scolded himself for being a visionless, and hurriedly poured half a cup of tea and sent it to him. Yu Chong took a sip before asking, "Zihua hasn't come back yet?" ”
"No news yet."
Yu Chong put down the teacup and his tone was a little cold. "Recently, you have been procrastinating more and more, why, when the Lord came, you began to perfunctory me?"
Tang Qi hurriedly explained, "Second Master Mingjian, as far as Zihua's ability is concerned, who can find out his whereabouts." Also, even if we follow the son now, there is only one second master in everyone's hearts. If the second master wants to say this, it really hurts the hearts of our brothers below. ”
"What did you teach you with this rhetoric?"
Tang Qi smiled honestly.
Someone knocked on the door, Tang Qi walked over and asked a few words, and when he came back, his face was a lot more serious.
"Second master, I caught a spy from Jin Lifu, and the spy said that he knew the address where Miss Hongyu was being held. But that man's mouth is very hard, and you don't want to say it until you see the second master with your own eyes. ”
"Really?" Yu Chong put down the teacup in his hand, got up and shook his already smooth clothes. "Then go and see how hard his mouth really is."
Yu Chong, who had just taken two steps, stopped again and said to Tang Qi behind him, "Go and call Qing'an." ”
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then answered: "Yes." ”
Heyin County is the closest border city to Li State, and there are too many eyeliners of Jin Lifu here, and if they encounter it, Tang Qi and the others will either solve it secretly or go with him. If it weren't really useful, Tang Qi and the others wouldn't have come over to talk to him in person.
Yu Chong and Tang Qigang were placed, and Qing'an and Yun Zhao also rushed over. Tang Qi nodded to Qing'an and shouted softly: "Childe." ”
Yun Zhao bit the corner of his lip and shouted in a softer voice: "Second master." ”
Qing'an glanced at Tang Qi, and then turned to look at Yu Chong. "I heard that it was Jin Lifu's spies who caught him?"
Yu Chong raised his chin, "Just go in and take a look." ”
As soon as the group entered the door, they saw a man tied to the corner of the room. The man suffered a lot of sins, and his face was wounded.
The man looked up, then turned his head away. "I said it, I won't say anything if I can't see Yu Chong."
Tang Qi stepped forward and kicked the man's stomach, as if he was angry and wanted to do it, but heard Yu Chong open his mouth.
"Why do you have to see him, it's the same if you have something to say to us."
The man sneered: "What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to talk to the uncle?" But with your appearance, you can go to the Qinglou to be a little girl, and there must be many uncles who like it. ”
"Presumptuous!" Tang Qi slapped his palm on the man's heart, the man's face changed greatly, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Does Mrs. Jin Li seem to be so hard-mouthed?" Yu Chong didn't laugh angrily, walked up to the man, lowered his head and stared at him coldly.
The man was hanging a mouthful of blood foam, and just pouted and wanted to spit on the person in front of him, Tang Qi's movements were faster, and he pulled out a dagger against the corner of his mouth, and the man's body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move anymore in an instant.
"Where is Hongyu locked up?"
"So her name is Red Grapefruit?" The man suddenly laughed, "Although that woman is not as good-looking as you, she is in good health, and she is comfortable serving her brothers......"
Tang Qi's eyes widened, the dagger he held pulled at the corner of his mouth, blood overflowed, and the cold light on the dagger could clearly reflect the fear in the man's eyes.
Yu Chong's eyes were frosty, and his tone became more and more cold.
On that day, he left the Dayue Inn and almost lost his life by going into danger alone, but it was Hongyu who came in time to save him. In order to send him away, Hongyu can only disguise himself as him to lure people away, not wanting her to be caught herself.
Although physiognomy can be changed, men and women cannot change. Hongyu's daughter must have suffered a lot of sins from Jin Lifu.
Yu Chong snatched the dagger from Tang Qi's hand and accurately stabbed it into the man's pipa bone.
This series of movements was too fast, that is, Tang Qi could see clearly, Qing'an and Yun Zhao could only stand there like fools, and the two of them didn't know what was going on until the man shouted in pain.
Yu Chong's hand kept moving, and the dagger in his hand slashed along his pipa bone, cutting the flesh when it encounters it, and cutting the bones when it encounters it. The man finally couldn't help it, he screamed loudly in pain, and his body struggled even more violently, so that Yu Chong's clothes were stained with a lot of blood.
"Where are Redsleeves locked up?"
The man's mouth was indeed very hard, and he was tortured like this, but he still only cried out in pain, but he did not say a word about Hongyu's imprisonment.
The dagger in his hand was stuck by the bone, and he twitched the dagger up and down, as if a child was playing, knowing that he couldn't get by, but he still wanted to try to play a prank.
The man's voice of pain gradually became quieter, and his face turned pale and trembled.
"Second master." Tang Qi persuaded beside him, afraid that Yu Chong would torture this person to death if he continued to torture him like this. During the period since Hongyu's accident, they have been looking for someone, even if Zihua went out in person, they couldn't find the place where Hongyu was detained. It's hard to find someone who knows, but you can't just play to death so easily.
Yu Chong really stopped, but turned to look at Qing'an, who had already looked stupid, and beckoned to him. "Qing'an, come here."
Although Qing'an knew that Yu Chong was ruthless in some aspects, it was only in giving orders or adjudicating matters. When Yu Chong was in Yu Mansion, he always looked like a sick seedling, when had he ever seen him treat people like this?
The great contrast made Qing'an a little distracted, and it wasn't until Yu Chong called him a second time, and Yun Zhao, who also had a bad face, lightly bumped into him, and he raised his feet and walked over there.
Yu Chong pushed Qing'an to the position he was standing just now with his bloodied hand, and then led Qing'an's hand to hold the dagger. The man's body was still shaking, and his consciousness was gradually becoming unconscious.
He pulled out the dagger with Qing'an's hand, and then prepared to insert it into the man's other side of the pipa bone, the man trembled, his eyes almost popped out, and the sound of pain almost broke his throat.
The moment the dagger was pulled up, there was a lot of blood on Qing'an and his body, and the trembling on the man's body even trembled with Qing'an's hands.
Yu Chong held Qing'an's hand tightly, so that he had no chance to leave.
"Qing'an, you can't admit it in front of the enemy, you will be the king of a country in the future, only if you are more ruthless than me, he will be more afraid of you. I'll leave the whereabouts of the red grapefruit to you, no matter what method you use, you're bound to ask me about it. ”
After saying this, Yu Chong really let go, turned to the man again, and pinched the man's jaw to force him to look up at himself.
"See clearly, I am Yu Chong. You have already seen the people, and you can say it to the true master of the future Li Kingdom. ”
The man's gray and depressed eyes that gradually lost their color showed horror again, isn't the second master of Yu Mansion a cripple, how can he have such a powerful skill? He opened his mouth to speak, but Qing'an behind him suddenly exerted force, so painful that he almost fainted, and he couldn't say anything at all.
Yu Chong took Tang Qi and turned to leave, without even looking at Yun Zhao. The smell of blood that Yu Chong brought when she passed by made Yun Zhao a little frightened, she thought that Yu Chong was already ruthless to her, but she didn't expect to know that this man was already kind to her at this scene today.
There are all their people outside, and there is no need to scruple, Tang Qi opened his mouth directly.
"Second master, is it cruel to treat the son like this? You didn't notice Childe's face just now, and you had to compare it with the man again. ”
Yu Chong's eyes sank slightly, "He must be ruthless, and people who are not ruthless will not be able to sit firmly at all." He wants to be a head higher than me in everything now, and I deliberately led him to do this today, even if he becomes a tyrant in the future, it will be much better than Qing'an in the Yu Mansion at the beginning. ”
When he said this, Tang Qi couldn't say anything more.
"Yu Chong!"
Yu Chong was shocked, thinking that he had heard it wrong. But when he raised his eyes, someone had already jumped into his arms.
