Chapter 13 The Lai family has a son who has escaped, and Wu uses the main thing to start the banquet
Although Shan Pingren said that he had a flexible tongue, he couldn't break Lai Da, a slave who had served as the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion for many years. The two pulled each other, but in the end, Jia Zheng got tired of it first, and asked Shan Pingren and Lai Da to go back to arrest people together, and Wu Yong also followed.
In this way, several people were driven to the study by Jia Zheng and asked them to check carefully.
The matter of his son's official recruitment is gone, and he has to deal with Shan Pingren and Wu Yong who came with him, Lai Da is resentful in his heart, but he can only laugh and take the two to his own house.
The group arrived at Lai's mansion while talking, Lai Da kindly asked Shan Pingren and Wu Yong to go and eat some food first, Shan Pingren naturally refused, and sent his order to stare at Lai Da, it can be seen that he was beaten hard yesterday, or Wu Yong persuaded him again and again, so he went to sit down.
Lai Da wiped his cold sweat and turned out, called the people in the house, and asked Shan Pingren and Wu Haosheng to wait.
Lai Da also couldn't keep his own subordinates short-sighted, and when he saw that Zhan Guang passed by nearby at night, he took advantage of the darkness to bully his property, so he thought about stabilizing Shan Pingren and Wu Yong, and checked the people in the family first.
It can be said that there is a wave of unsettled waves, Lai Fuzhong, because he heard that Lai Da returned home, his wife Lai Da came over in a panic, grabbed Lai Da, who was having a seizure, and pulled out and cried:
"Holy God! How are you going to get back! But do you know that Shang Rong is gone! ”
Lai scolded and broke his wife. "The thief is confused, why is Shang Rong so alive? Even if it's gone, you should have gone to report to the official a long time ago, and you should have come here to cry and mourn! ”
Lai everyone's vultures wept to themselves, took out the crumpled letter, and said: "How can there ever be such a father as you, look at it, this is just thrown in from the outside..."
Lai Da took it with great doubt, and this letter was naturally a blackmail letter. The letter only said that the prince of your mansion did not repay the gambling money, and now he was taken, and he had to get 50,000 taels of silver to redeem it, and if it was too late, he would sell Lai Shangrong to Nanyang.
Lai Da put down the letter, only to feel that his blood was surging, and his old face had already been suffocated red. After half a sound, Lai Dafang calmed down and sighed: "It's true that you can't make a noise, if the news of Shang Rong's gambling detention spreads, you don't have to think about seeking officials in the future." It's just 50,000 taels, give it to him first! ”
Lai Da tore the letter to shreds! Wealth is not exposed! Wealth is not exposed! Just because he heard that the Lai family offered 30,000 taels to seek officials, someone immediately wanted to extort 50,000 taels! This thing must have been done by the people on the street in Ning Rong, except for the old men and ladies in Ning Rong's two mansions, Lai Da is not afraid of anyone, he wants to see who has the courage to provoke his Lai family!
Lai Da was about to take people out angrily, but suddenly remembered the two uninvited guests in the house, Wu Yong and Shan Renren were both called by Jia Zheng, and Lai Da couldn't help but feel a headache.
What's more, Shan Renren looks like he is looking for revenge, where is Lai Da willing to entertain at this time. Lai called his subordinates out of Wu Yong and pleaded: "Mr. Wu Yong, the little one is really entangled in some personal matters, can you ask that Shan Renren to come back first?" ”
As he spoke, Lai Da had already taken out a fifty taels of silver ticket from his arms and handed it over, and said flatteringly: "You are a man, I want to come to the single appointment to listen to you." ”
Wu Yong seemed to smile instead of smiling, and he didn't take the silver ticket, only squinted his eyes.
"Although I have just arrived at Rongguo Mansion, I also know that Lai Da Steward's family wealth is tens of millions, and now I have touched the mold of your second master, and I only took these fifty taels to block the disaster?"
What a greedy poor sour! Lai Da scolded secretly, suppressed his anger and asked, "What does Mr. Wu think?" ”
Wu Yong stretched out five fingers, and then smiled: "Five hundred taels!" If you can afford this number, and then ask the housekeeper to listen to me, Master Ben will take care of this matter for you today, and find someone who has little to do with your family to go to the top of the tank. I won't tell you the truth, Master Ben can still say a few words to Master Jia. ”
Wu Yong's words were a little abrupt, but the reason in the words was good, Lai Da was busy going out, and he couldn't care about it at the moment, so he breathed a sigh of relief, so he took out a few more silver tickets, and put together five hundred and fifty taels to Wu Yong, and said: "Then trouble Mr. Wu, but when Mr. Zhan Guang and Shan Renren are concerned, there will be gifts for the small ones in the future!" ”
After Lai Da finished speaking, he called the housekeeper from home to give a few words and taught him to follow Wu Yong.
Then Lai Da hurried to his storehouse, and asked for the 30,000 taels of silver that had been prepared to be loaded into a cart, and prepared to go out of the city to the place mentioned in the letter. Along the way, there are more than 20 sturdy house slaves raised by Lai Da over the years.
Lai's family's age, seeing that Lai Da was about to leave, cried and came to pick up the car, shouting that they would go out of the city to save their son.
General Lai scolded and said, "It's a good trick for you to be a woman, but it's not a mess to go out with me!" When the time comes, if you start fighting, who will take care of you! ”
Lai everyone's still picks up the car. cried: "Don't say you want 50,000 taels, what is it worth if you take these 30,000 taels, is it because you are reluctant to break the silver of 20,000 taels, and you don't even care about your son?" ”
"Shut up!" Lai Dawei was afraid that his wife would make a noise, so he had to patiently explain: "Where will the fifty thousand taels of silver come from for a while and a half?" Thinking that the person who tied Shang Rong only heard about the 30,000 taels, he wouldn't have set the time for today. ”
Seeing that the Lai family's travel personnel had been gathered, they waited for Lai Da's order.
Lai everyone's silence was silenced, and the car walked out. Seeing that Lai Datong's car had gone away, she was still worried, Lai Shangrong was also spoiled by her son-in-law since she was a child, how could she suddenly reach such a dangerous point......
But he said that Wu Yong was here, and when he saw that Lai Da was gone, he sent Shan Pingren away in a few words, and taught Shan Pingren to come back tomorrow. Shan Pingren was afraid that Wu Yong was a person, and when he saw that Wu Yong had just gone out, he suspected that Lai Da had colluded with Wu Yong, so he had to leave angrily, wanting to go to Jia Zheng's side tomorrow to call the shots.
When the housekeeper of the Lai family received the news, he saw that Wu Yong had really driven away Shan Pingren, and when he was nodding secretly, Wu Yong had already found it and said: "The nobles of Rongguo Mansion are coming tomorrow, don't be lazy, you find some screens to put in the place where your family prepares the banquet, so as not to pollute the eyes of your subordinates." ”
Lai Da said that he would leave, and the steward of the Lai family didn't know that Lai Shangrong's official matter was empty, but he knew that Lai Shangrong had been kidnapped, so he wanted to veto. "Sir, there is indeed a big event happening in this family, and I am afraid that tomorrow's banquet will not be counted."
"Confused!" Wu Yong scolded: "The nobles of the Rongguo Mansion have already scheduled to come to the door, how can you say that there is no reason!" It's just that Lai Da doesn't go back, isn't there an old lady in your mansion above, she has some face in front of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, and she happens to have a birthday tomorrow, so won't it be enough to call the old lady to entertain tomorrow? ”
Wu is afraid that ordinary people will be suspicious when they use such words, he and the Lai family are not related, how do they know that Lai Mama will have a birthday tomorrow. Only now that Lai Shangrong, the son of the Lai family, has been kidnapped, and the steward of the Lai family is anxious, he can't take care of this.
Fang Lai Da was in a hurry, and he didn't explain carefully, so he really asked the housekeeper of the Lai family to rush to Rongguo Mansion, saying that his son-in-law was tied up, and the banquet would be canceled tomorrow, and he really didn't have the courage to do so.
Just in case, the housekeeper of the Lai family still asked: "Sir, is there any news that Lai Shangrong has won the office?" ”
"Hehe..."Wu Yong said with a smile, "That's nature." ”
