Yang Tianhong picked up the conversation indifferently: "A group of rebellious people, there are grievances to speak of? Dali Temple has always been fair, and the Lu family has died by themselves, and they can't complain about others." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shuo An waited for Song Li's eyes to never take his eyes off Yang Tianhong. He laughed dryly a few times and continued: "I heard that General Yang's father had a relationship with the Lu family in his early years, and the young master of the Lu family pestered Miss Yang several times, which made General Yang angry, so he used means to send the Lu family to the prison of the Criminal Department...... I don't know if these things are true?"

Yang Tianhong turned sideways and looked at Song Li with a flat gaze: "Shuo Anhou invited me over today, is it just to talk about these boring things? Everyone is noble, there is no need to hide it." I'm a martial artist, I like to go straight, if there is anything, please ask Shuo Anhou to explain it directly. ”

Song Li obviously didn't expect Yang Tianhong to be so straightforward. This stuffed back all the words he had thought of before. After being stunned for a moment, Song Li laughed "hahahaha", and nodded at Yang Tianhong again and again: "Okay, good, good, General Yang is really fast." In that case, I will also say it bluntly: Dare to ask General Yang, where did those desolate beasts you gave to the Lu family come from?"

Yang Tianhong glanced at Song Li and said calmly: "Shuo'an, have you made a mistake, those wild beasts were not given to the Lu family by me, but used to settle the repentant marriage money demanded by the Lu family. Now that the Lu family has taken it in, those desolate beasts have nothing to do with me. ”

"As for the origin of the beast, of course it's Hessian. ”

After saying these words, Yang Tianhong continued to pick up the tea bowl and taste tea, looking leisurely and contented.

Shuo'an waited for Song Li to sit next to him, with a smile on his face, but he scolded Yang Tianhong half to death in his heart.

This kid is so slippery, like a loach.

This time. The most talked about topics in the capital of Chu State are the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and Xuan Tianjun, as well as the Lu family, which was beheaded all over the house. The two rare beasts are valuable objects that the powerful and rich compete for. As for the Lu family...... Hundreds of human heads are placed together, but they can also remind those with ill intentions at any time that the majesty of the emperor is absolutely inviolable.

Shuo Anhou was originally a relative of the emperor. Princess Jing'an was very interested in those Xuan Tianjun. Unfortunately, the speed at which the princess's mansion gets news is always slower than that of the prince. When Shuo'an waited for Song Li to learn that the prince had included all the remaining three Xuantian horses of the Lu family in his bag, found the prince, and wanted to share one horse, he was told by the angry prince: Those Xuantian horses are all dead. This matter, from beginning to end, was a conspiracy used by Yang Tianhong to deal with the Lu family.

The common people don't like the powerful and the rich, and there are characters like Avanti in various folk tales, who use their wisdom to repeatedly tease the landlords, old wealth, officials and kings who are full of brains. This kind of thing is actually just a poor people's own amusement. If Avanti really dared to do that. I'm afraid a hundred heads are not enough to cut off. Moreover, wisdom has always been inextricably linked to knowledge. When all the systems of cultural transmission in the whole society were in the hands of the rulers, the common people could not get more quotas from them. In a word, if the big people want the common people to become more stupid, they have a way.

Song Li is obviously not among them. He knew very well that the key to getting Xuan Tianjun still had to fall on Yang Tianhong.

Those previous questions were a temptation.

Whether it is Princess Jing'an or Shuo'anhou, they are very remarkable names. That means power. means a lot of wealth. Some people rack their brains and want to have something to do with them. Song Li himself met a despicable man who was willing to give his young and beautiful wife to warm his bed, just in exchange for a county official position. If Yang Tianhong is the same as these guys. Then things will be much easier. However, at present, Yang Tianhong is obviously not so easy to grasp.

Everyone in the world knows that the wild beast comes from the Hessian Mountains. Do you need to tell me this nonsense?

Song Li wants to get Xuan Tianjun, and he also wants to get more desolate beasts. This is a very lucrative financial route, and the merchant with the largest shipment of wild beasts in the world is the Gao family. Although it was not clear what method Yang Tianhong used to get so many wild beasts, Song Li felt it. As long as Yang Tianhong is willing to bow his head, he will have endless mountains of gold and silver.

The smile on Song Li's face was very sincere, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He looked at Yang Tianhong and said seriously: "My mother likes Xuan Tianjun very much, and she has been thinking about wanting to have two Xuan Tianjun as drivers. There is an old saying that General Yang should have heard: a man is poor. The three of them are skilled. People live in a lifetime, and they may encounter difficulties that they cannot solve at any time. We are all nobles of the court, and there are always times when we need to help each other, hehe! What do you think?"

Yang Tianhong nodded as a matter of course: "Yes! I have always wanted to be like my father, kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and defend the country." ”

With Song Li's brain, how could he not hear that Yang Tianhong was going around in circles to put forward conditions. His eyelids twitched, and he said with a light smile: "You are now a Xuanwu general, and you are in charge of tens of thousands of troops in the Xuanhuo Army. Why, with such an imperial grace, General Yang still feels that his heart is insufficient, and he wants to swallow the elephant?"

Yang Tianhong shook his head again and again: "This kind of thing can't be involved. Shuo Anhou should know that his father is a pure martial artist, and he has no intention of going further in the court. If it weren't for the accident in my family back then, I had no choice but to ask for a knighthood, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live to this day. Of course, the title of my ancestors cannot be abolished in my hands. If you want to get the same title as my father again, in addition to military exploits, I can't think of a second way. ”

Song Li's eyes flashed: "Listening to General Yang's meaning, is he insisting on going to the border and garrisoning the border pass?"

Yang Tianhong smiled arrogantly: "Don't hide it, I like to cut people with knives." This weapon can only be fed with human blood. The more you kill, the sharper your weapon becomes. ”

Song Li nodded thoughtfully: "My mother also said something similar. Xuantianjun is a strange beast, hiding in the mountains and forests, it is really tyrannical. They should be given gold saddles and silver pendants to show off my royal spirit. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all looked up to the sky and laughed.

They both understood what each other was saying.

Gradually, Shuo An waited for Song Li to stop laughing and asked seriously: "Two Xuantian horses." Also ask General Yang to make an offer. ”

Yang Tianhong said: "If it is a private item below, it doesn't hurt to give it directly to Shuo Anhou." But this beast is very difficult to catch, and it took some money to get it thanks to a friend's relationship. Don't hide it, my Yang family is a poor nest, last time in order to solve the dispute with the Lu family. Almost all the money was spent. I have no problem, but my friend's side has to give the family a little sweetness. ”

Song Li comprehended, lowered his voice and asked, "Dare to ask General Yang, that friend of yours, but his surname is Gao?"

Yang Tianhong said with a smile: "Apart from him, who in the world has such ability?"

Song Li's face was clear, and he continued to ask: "To be able to get so many precious desolate beasts from the Gao family at one time...... General Yang. Your relationship with the Gao family is very unusual!"

Yang Tianhong's voice was very calm: "Under the teacher, return to the Yuan Sect." The master once showed favor to the Gao family back then, and it was also a coincidence that the Gao family was once saved by my father at the border, and all kinds of relationships added up, which led to these later things. ”

This kind of answer is not poured in, and there is no trace of it. Song Li could only deal with a few words, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, and put them on the table. His eyes looked at Yang Tianhong and asked, "General Yang." Can these numbers be enough for two Xuantian horses? If not, they can be discussed. ”

They were all huge silver tickets of 100,000 taels, and there were six in total.

Yang Tianhong didn't say anything, but his heart was full of contempt: Xuan Tianjun is such a thing, and if it is placed outside, it will immediately cause a scramble. If there are more people rushing to buy it. A horse can be sold for millions of taels to say the least. Shuo'an Hou Song Li is indeed stingy, and he wants to buy two horses for only 600,000 taels? Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that I also needed the help of Princess Jing'an, I would have brushed my sleeves away a long time ago.

With a polite smile, Yang Tianhong put away the four silver tickets and pushed the remaining two back in front of Song Li. The words were sincere: "Since Her Royal Highness Princess Jing'an likes it, I am in charge, and the two Xuantian horses will be settled at cost price." The money doesn't actually fall into my pocket. Capturing wild beasts is very dangerous, and Shuo Anhou should know that the price of 200,000 taels of silver is absolutely impossible to buy outside. ”

Song Li's face showed a happy color. He was just about to speak, but Yang Tianhong forcibly blocked what he wanted to say.

"If the business is settled at this price, we can only do it this once. ”

Princess Jing'an had a great influence on Emperor Shunming, and for the sake of the emperor's aunt, Yang Tianhong was also willing to take out two Xuantian horses as friends. It's just that Shuo'an Hou Song Li is obviously a greedy guy. If this desolate beast is resold and resold in it, the profits will roll in. Yang Tianhong had to say the ugly words in front, and it also completely sealed Shuo Anhou's mind of wanting to meddle in the beast business.

......

Inner nave.

Princess Jing'an is a woman in her fifties. Although her husband died at an early age and has been widowed, she is well maintained, her skin is smooth and white, and she looks no different from a thirty-year-old woman.

In front of his mother, Shuo'an waited for Song Li to speak a lot easier. He withdrew the maids on his left and right, and said seriously: "Mother guessed right, those wild beasts are indeed from the Gao family. Yang Tianhong inherited the Yuan Sect and was more or less implicated in the Gao family. He said the same thing himself, and returned the silver ticket that the child took out and returned 200,000 taels. ”

Princess Jing'an has a pot of jasmine in front of her, and she is constantly trimming the branches and leaves with scissors. She asked lightly, "He personally promised to send two Xuantian Horses?"

Song Li nodded and smiled: "That's true." This person is also considered to be on the upper level, not as tough as the legend. ”

"Humph!"

Princess Jing'an cut off a dead branch and said coldly: "This person has strange methods and a vicious heart. Bengong heard that the desolate beasts he gave to the Lu family were all secretly manipulating. The Lu family had just received it, and they died cleanly that night. If it weren't for this, the prince's side would not have been furious and beheaded the Lu family. Although the Lu family is not authentic in this matter, and wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, if you follow the source of the matter, it still falls on Yang Tianhong. ”

Of course, Song Li understood his mother's thoughts, and persuaded with a smile: "The child has already explained that Xuan Tianjun is what his mother needs, and Yang Tianhong has no reason to get along with us, and he will not get some half-dead wild beasts over." If that is the case, then he will die of his own life, and he will not be able to complain to others. ”

After a pause, Song Li took out an excerpt from his arms and handed it to Princess Jing'an: "Mother has always liked poetry, and this is a new poem flowing from Cui Siye's mansion. The child has seen it. I also asked my mother to take a look. ”

Princess Jing'an took the fold as she said, opened it, and swept it a few times carelessly, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon. Lantian jade is warm and the sun is rising. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ”

Women who lost their husbands at an early age have no immunity to such poems. Princess Jing'an has lived alone for many years, and she thought that she had completely forgotten many things, but when she suddenly saw this poem, she suddenly realized that those things that she thought she no longer remembered were now very clear in her mind.

An indescribable thought kept wandering in Princess Jing'an's heart.

She sighed. Carefully reciting the verses, he asked: "This poem can be described as an excellent masterpiece, Cui Siye is really a man of temperament, I am afraid that only he can write such a witty sentence." ”

Song Li had been observing the change in his mother's expression, and he lost no time in interjecting: "Mother is wrong, this poem was not written by Cui Siye. Although it came from Cui Siye's mansion, the author is a disciple of Cui Siye. ”

Princess Jing'an raised her head: "Oh, who is the author?"

Song Li smiled and said, "I am General Xuanwu, Yang Tianhong." ”

Princess Jing'an was slightly stunned. Then he frowned: "It's him, such a vulgar martial artist, how can he make such a good poem?"

Song Li nodded again and again: "Yang Tianhong is quite talented in poetry and literature. Even Cui Siye was full of praise for it. A few days ago, the song "Will Enter the Wine" was composed by Yang Tianhong. Didn't my mother praise it repeatedly, saying that the lyrics were quite ancient, and they were extremely heroic?"

Princess Jing'an's face became slightly calmer. After a moment, she nodded slightly: "So it seems." Yang Tianhong is not useless. Yes, five years ago, he once asked for a knighthood, and there was a lot of noise about this matter at that time, and His Majesty also praised Yang Tianhong. ”

Song Li wasted no time in saying, "The child has inquired. The matter between the Yang family and the Lu family was actually the rudeness of the Lu family. The Lu family married the Yang family in the early years, and as soon as the hussar general Yang Jing died, the Lu family never cared about the Yang family again. If it weren't for Yang Jing's daughter Yang Qiurong being accepted as a disciple by the Qingling Sect, coupled with her dignified appearance, she was favored by Lu Hongzhi, the son of the Lu family, and the Lu family would never admit this family business. ”

Princess Jing'an's brows furrowed more and more tightly: "This Lu family is also excessive, it is simply a villain who loves money and has no righteousness." ”

Song Li continued: "Of course, it is impossible for Yang Tianhong to recognize the marriage contract with the Lu family. So the Lu family proposed to ask the Yang family to compensate eight million taels of silver. If it were me, I would have used the same method to deal with the Lu family. Eight million taels, it's really a lion's big mouth. ”

After such an explanation, Princess Jing'an's bad feelings towards Yang Tianhong were alleviated a lot. She nodded silently, and then glanced at her son sitting beside her: "You are so bothered to help Yang Tianhong speak, shouldn't he have promised you any benefits?"

Shuo An waited for Song Li to spread out his hands, with an innocent look: "How can a child be the kind of person who takes advantage of small advantages?" Yang Tianhong made it clear in the matter of Xuan Tianjun that 400,000 taels of silver were the costs that had to be paid to the Gao family, and he was only responsible for transporting the goods. ”

Princess Jing'an sneered: "There is no free lunch in the world. Tell me, what is the purpose of his kindness?"

Song Li smiled: "The child knows that this kind of thing can't be hidden from his mother." Yang Tianhong does have a purpose, but one is not to seek officials, and the other is not to seek wealth. He is very straightforward: Yi Yong Hou is the knighthood of the hussar general, Yang Tianhong once had an appointment with His Majesty, and he must regain the position of Yi Yong Hou with military merits. It's just that others are in Beijing and can't make war exploits. Therefore, I want to go our way and see if I can be transferred to the border post. ”

"Border Pass? He actually wants to go to the border gate?"

Princess Jing'an was very surprised, and the coldness and disdain on her face gradually turned into emotion.

The request came as a surprise to her. Everyone knows that Princess Jing'an is the aunt of Emperor Shunming, and she can speak in front of the emperor. Every day, speculators come to the princess's mansion to pay their respects. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Jing'an Gong takes the initiative to move his fingers, some people will rush to send a large sum of money. It's just that the money can't be taken for nothing, and those people either want to be officials, or they want to get the monopoly of salt, iron and other objects from the imperial court. In short, it is a kind of exchange of benefits in their eyes. Moreover, if you pay 10,000 taels of silver today, you will have to collect it ten times or a hundred times tomorrow.

I don't want a cent of the profit of millions of taels of silver, just to get the opportunity to go to the border to kill the enemy...... This is the first time that Princess Jing'an has encountered such a person.

"It is said that Guangping Hou has been loyal for generations, and this palace has always felt that it is a rumor, and the credibility is not high. I really saw it today, and there are really people in this world who don't like money and official positions, and who are dedicated to serving the country and killing the enemy. ”

Princess Jing'an kept sighing. After a long time, he said seriously to Shuo'an and Song Li: "If Yang Tianhong is really as you say, he is also a character worth befriending." Maybe for the sake of him offering the two Xuantian horses, the palace will help him once and make a speech in front of His Majesty. However, there are exceptions. The border pass is an important military place, and His Majesty has his own idea of who will lead the army. This kind of thing, this palace can only try to persuade as much as possible, as for whether it will succeed or not, it is not necessarily. (To be continued.) )
