Chapter 157: Help
Lin held her down and told her to calm down for a while, "Most of the people who can be on duty in the Terracotta Battalion are the family members of meritorious officials, who have always relied on Zuyin and speak a little tougher than others, especially the Shangguan in charge of the Terracotta Battalion is General Mu's brother-in-law."
"General Mu's brother-in-law? Isn't it Mu Guifei's uncle?"
"Exactly, this article is huge!"
Ruan Shi stopped his anger, "This ......"
The Lin family lowered his voice and said with some confidence: "Although your Li family has just returned to the capital, you must also know that the Wei family avoids Mu Guifei's side, and even tries to cut off the relationship between the eldest girl and the fourth prince......
Ruan Shi glanced at Li Qingyi when he heard this, and nodded hesitantly.
Lin also said: "Qingyi is the biological daughter of the county lord after all, with this relationship, the Li family and the Wei family may not be able to tear apart, which is why I came in a hurry, and I am afraid that there will be other things here."
"Something else?" Ruan's heart trembled, Rao is Li Qingyi had already given her a reassuring pill, but thinking about what Lin said, she also felt a lot of uneasiness.
Lin Shi looked worried, "I'll tell you the truth, Lord Li was entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor as soon as he entered the imperial court, and it is inevitable that people's eyes will be pierced.
Ruan Shi hurriedly asked, "The soldier guarding the door said, 'This little money', does it mean that they don't like small money? Want us to send more of them?"
Lin's eyes flickered, "Look at this situation, it's very likely."
Ruan Shi thought for a while and said, "If it's really money, it doesn't matter if you spend two dollars, it's okay to release the person first, and then find out later, I'm afraid that someone deliberately let that woman frame and instruct, and there are other purposes."
"Not long after you returned to Beijing, you didn't move around much, even if Lord Li was reused by the emperor and some people were jealous, he wouldn't be framed out of thin air, maybe that woman was a habitual offender, specifically looking for the powerful of the family, and she didn't want to make trouble and embarrass her children, and wanted to blackmail some money, don't think about it too much."
"It's possible to say anything, and I'm even more bottomless in my heart."
Seeing that she looked like she had no idea, Lin said pertinently: "I don't think it's better to do this, let's talk to that woman directly, give her some money and let her relax, go back to Master Li and release it, and it's not too late to find someone to find out and punish carefully." If she keeps biting the bullet and doesn't tell the truth, He Yan will have a reason not to let go, and it will be Master Li who suffers."
"Give the woman money directly? Will this work?"
*****
After Chang Yan went to Xuandehou's Mansion to deliver the letter, he did not go back to meet Li Qingyi, but went directly back to Qin's Mansion to find Qin Zeng.
Qin Zeng hadn't settled down yet, and looking at it, it seemed as if he was waiting for someone to come and ask him to do something.
He handed him a handwritten letter and said, "The girl said to let the adults see it in time."
"Timely glances?"
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, "You tell her what she said."
Chang Yan was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The girl said, go to the adult immediately, and if the adult is resting, she will also pull him up from the bed to help me with this."
Qin Zeng's eyebrows were raised high, almost unable to fall, and he laughed sneeringly.
This is the first time I have seen Qin Zeng smile, although it is good-looking, but I am afraid that he was laughed at.
Qin Zeng shook off the thin page of paper with a bang.
It can be seen that the letter was written in a hurry, and the hairpin flowers and small Kai all threw out the momentum of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.
Looking down carefully, the eyebrows that had just fallen raised again, "This kind of help, I'm really not easy to help."
"That'...... Will you help or not?"
Qin Zeng glanced at her, hum, people only stayed with her for a few days, and every heart was densely captured! How are these wine bags and rice bags in the East Factory trained people!
Or is that girl surnamed Li really so charming?
"My lord......" Seeing that Qin Zeng didn't speak, Chang Yan was quite a bit of a reminder.
Qin Zeng snorted coldly, "Let Changrong come in and reply."
"Yes."
An hour later
, Chang Yan got a bulging small cloth bag, put it in his arms and went back to the Xuande Hou Mansion, just in time for Ruan Shi to ask people to get the silver ticket.
Lin looked calm, but the cuffs were wrinkled.
After a while, Garcinia Cambogia took out two thousand taels of silver tickets, and Ruan counted them casually, and the big seal of Huitong Money Village was clearly stamped on them.
Lin's breathing tightened a little, forcing himself to take his eyes off the silver ticket.
Nguyen instructed, "Tell Steward He to go with Ah Ye, let them find the woman, and tell her clearly. If she refuses, our Xuandehou Mansion is not for people to manipulate at will! When I see it, is it our lord's reputation that is hard, or her life is hard!"
Hearing this, Lin Shi's heart suddenly shuddered, "Two thousand taels is no longer a small amount, that woman must have compromised."
Ruan's face was calm, "If she was instructed by someone, she might not dare to take this money."
It was late at night, and the entire Xuandehou Mansion was extremely silent.
Li Qingyi never said a word from beginning to end, so much so that the Lin family almost forgot that there was a girl here, and she gave full play to her scheming without the slightest hindrance.
Li Qingyi's eyes were cold, how did the Lin family deceive the second aunt in his last life?
The coolness of the late night poured into the flower hall, and the tea was changed many times, and finally there was movement outside the courtyard.
The Lin clan couldn't wait to go out, and when the Lin clan saw this, he also followed a few steps, and saw Ah Ye rushing in eagerly from outside, "Madam!"
"How?"
Lin Shi looked at Ah Ye and saw a hint of something wrong in his expression.
Ah Ye gasped a few times before he spoke, "Madam, the little one gave ten taels of silver to each of the officers and soldiers guarding the door, but they still didn't accept it, and in the end, it was Lord Xu Minzhi who heard the news and went in person, so under his maneuver, let us in, and those two also collected a full two hundred taels from us!" Then we met the woman."
Nguyen's heart lifted when he heard this, "What did she say?"
Ah Ye hurriedly circled, "I took out the remaining 1,800 taels to tie it up at this time, but they were too little, and they asked for 20,000 taels when they opened their mouths!" He was so angry that he almost had heart palpitations, and the villain had no choice but to come back and tell his wife before making a decision."
Lin Shi lost his voice and said, "Twenty thousand taels? Who dared to ask for twenty thousand taels for her daring?"
"Originally, I was afraid that the other party would not accept the money, but the other party not only collected, but also collected a large amount!" The Ruan clan was also shocked at the amount the other party wanted, and the gaze that looked at the Lin clan almost changed, "This is knowing the background of our Li family, so the lion opened his mouth?"
Ah Ye said, "Madam, it seems that the other party is here for the silver."
Lin said hatefully, "It's really unreasonable!"
Ruan Shi looked at the sky and said with a calm face, "That woman really said that 20,000 taels would agree to end the matter?"
Ah Ye nodded, "She said it herself!"
Lin tightened his fingers and tried to relax his facial expression, "You really want to give her 20,000 taels?"
Ruan Shi frowned: "This amount is indeed not small, but since the other party has opened his mouth, no matter how much he talks, it is impossible to talk about the truth of 20,000 taels to 2,000 taels, since this is the case, I just want our master to come back quickly, as long as the people are safe, I have nothing else to care about."
When Lin heard this, his heart was extremely complicated.
This is the confidence that the daughter of a super-rich family has?
In the past, she felt that her status was the last thing she could discard, so no matter how much she resented the Marquis Mansion of Nanning, it was impossible for her to give up the name of the concubine of the Hou Mansion.
But now, she is extremely envious of Nguyen.
If she had a choice, she would not hesitate to choose to be the daughter of the Ruan family instead of the Lin family!
Lin took a deep breath, and seeing that Ruan had already instructed Garcinia Cambogia to go and get the silver ticket again, he stepped forward and said, "Right now, do you plan to let people come back and give up, or do you want to completely erase this matter?"
Nguyen looked at her, "What's the difference?"
"Of course there is a difference." Lin explained: "If you only need someone to come back, then naturally you can have someone send 20,000 taels directly, but if you want to completely erase this matter, you must have to spend money
Shut the mouths of those in the Terracotta Battalion. Originally, you gave the woman money just to settle the matter quickly. But if the matter falls into the ears of others, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not feel that Master Li is at a loss and gave the silver. The gang of people in the Terracotta Battalion didn't get any benefits, if they sewed people and talked nonsense, and arranged this matter indiscriminately, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be spread falsely and change the taste!"
Ruan Shi frowned: "That's the same reason, then according to you, how much silver do I have to prepare?"
Lin said, "Even this woman asked for 20,000 taels, Dong Qian is enough, so wouldn't He Yan be able to send it away with 1,800 taels?" In my opinion, less than 10,000 taels, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish."
"Ten thousand taels?"
The anger in Ruan's heart could hardly be suppressed, these people were afraid that they were not fooling her!
However, I have to say that if her niece hadn't greeted her in advance, she would have had no bottom in her heart.
Not to mention 30,000 taels, it is 50,000,200,000 taels, on the premise that Li Yong's personal safety cannot be determined, she will take this money!
The important thing is that people get back!
What about being taken for a fool?
No amount of silver can compare to Li Yong's life.
As long as Li Yong can come back, it is not impossible for them to find a way to clean up these people.
Seeing that her face was not good-looking, Lin said, "It's indeed a little more, but I'm not talking nonsense about this amount. A few days ago, the son of an official of the Ministry of Rites beat someone in the street, and he fell into the Terracotta Division, and he was defrauded of 8,000 taels before he gave up. Now, he knows that you are in a hurry to ask for people, so he naturally wants the lion to open his mouth. However, Dong Qian and I are still related, and I will make peace from it, and I think he will finally agree."
Ruan Shi was speechless angrily, Lin thought she was thinking about it, and said, "Alas, I guess when you were in Yangzhou, you rarely saw these troubles, but this kind of thing is really nothing big in the capital."
Nguyen raised his eyes to look at her.
These words really hit the most uncertain place in her heart.
It's because she doesn't know the "rules" of the capital, so she is tied to everything.
She was now 10,000 glad that she had insight into the Lin family's plan in advance!
"In that case, then bother Sister Lin to make this trip."
