Yang Shijun couldn't believe his ears, he was still in the abyss of death at the last moment, and his head could fall to the ground at any time, and at this moment, Han Pingzhi actually told him that he could temporarily save his life, this kind of momentary ups and downs made his mood almost crazy, if it wasn't for the eyes of everyone at the scene, he would have even jumped up and hugged Han Pingzhi and cried bitterly.

"Lord Han, is it true?" Yang Shijun's whole person was still in a trance, so in order to confirm that he could save his life, he immediately asked.

"Lord Yang, my surname is Han, when did I lie in front of you? I'm not afraid to tell you, if you had listened to me earlier, why did you end up like this? After Han Pingzhi answered his question, he couldn't forget to beat him, so that he could deepen his impression and know his strength and wisdom.

After getting an affirmative answer, Yang Shijun shed tears happily, he didn't know how to thank Han Pingzhi for his great kindness, so he immediately knelt up straight, banged a few times, kowtowed a few times, and then said in an excited tone:

"Thank you Lord Han for saving your life, I don't thank you, but if you don't say thank you at this time, I think it's a crime.

I know that what I did before was too bastard, and I ignored your advice a few times, so that I almost lost my life, and now I have thoroughly reflected on it, Lord Han, you will be my reborn parents in the future, if Lord Han encounters trouble in the future, my surname Yang will go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up. ”

Zhou Ming, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yang Shijun's heartfelt performance, and at the same time felt very sorry for this fool, because he didn't know that what was waiting for him would be a more cruel fate, although his life was saved, but he might go bankrupt.

The few white-clothed guards present, as well as the officials of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, were all confused when they saw this situation, because Han Pingzhi and Yang Shijun spoke in very small voices, and they couldn't hear it clearly, so they naturally didn't know what happened between them.

Yang Shijun, who was addicted to kowtowing, had no intention of stopping at all, until Han Pingzhi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Lord Yang, don't be happy too early, I said that your life was saved, only temporarily." ”

"Huh?" Yang Shijun, who just thought he had regained his life, was poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his whole heart was cold, and he trembled vigorously when he thought that he might face death in a while.

"Lord Han, don't scare me, what do you mean temporary? Won't I be able to save my life in the end? Yang Shijun asked with a begging face.

Han Pingzhi deliberately made a tone, put on a straight face, and showed an indifferent look: "That's also a helpless thing, I said all the good things just now, and reluctantly persuaded Brother Zhou to let him give me one last bit of time and let you explain the future."

But I've probed his tone, and if you want to live, it's not like there's no chance, but you need this number. ”

Han Pingzhi raised one hand and stretched out two fingers.

Although Yang Shijun has been begging his subordinates to do things, he still understands the rules in the officialdom, and Han Pingzhi's words are all hinting at him that if he wants to save his own life, he has to buy it with money.

almost lost his life, under the turn of the peak, seeing that as long as he spent some money, he could save his dog's life, Yang Shijun was overjoyed, after all, he had been on an errand for so many years, he had accumulated hundreds of thousands of family funds through legal and illegal means, and took out a few thousand taels of silver to buy his own life, which was not a painful thing for him at all.

"Two thousand taels so much?" Although two thousand taels of silver is not a lot of money for Yang Shijun, he understands the art of bargaining very well, if the other party makes a bid, he readily agrees, it is likely that the other party will temporarily change his mind and desperately raise the price, so that he will lose a lot.

After so many years in the official career, Yang Shijun will be careful about any exchange of interests, even if this transaction is related to his life.

"Two thousand taels?" Han Pingyi stared at Yang Shijun blankly, "Brother Yang, are you joking?" Do you think that your life is only worth two thousand taels?

Let me tell you, do you know what my brother Zhou's identity is now? It is the number one celebrity in the world of my Great Chu Country, and with this status, will you be merciful for the sake of you, a fool and a jujube? Don't you dream, okay? ”

Yang Shijun chuckled in his heart, just now Han Pingzhi made a gesture of two, he thought it was two thousand taels, but Han Ping denied it, and laughed at himself, he thought about it carefully, and the ridicule of others was quite reasonable, after all, Zhou Ming had cracked the case of the woman's disappearance before, and the court gave him a large reward, and now Zhou Ming is on an errand in the south of the city to inspect the yamen, and he usually has a fortune, plus he has a good family, so he is not short of money, and it is impossible to let himself go because of two thousand taels.

It's not two thousand taels, but it's a gesture related to two, is it twenty thousand taels?

Thinking of this, Yang Shijun really felt a little painful, although he had accumulated some family funds in the past ten years, but it was all blood and sweat, even if it was to buy back his life for others, he also felt distressed.

"20,000 taels of silver, it's a little more expensive, but for the sake of Lord Han's face, this transaction is concluded, I will sell the land and property immediately after I go back, and send the silver taels to the house, you can help me give it to the surname Zhou." Yang Shijun gritted his teeth and agreed.

Han Pingzhi sneered, looked Yang Shijun up and down, and thought to himself that this kid was not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also a miser, he had shrunk several bids, not only did he feel that his life was worthless, but he also underestimated Zhou Ming's determination to clean him up.

"Brother Yang, if you keep laughing like this, this deal will not be done, the price you give is too different from the price that others want, I can't reply at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Pingzhi planned to stand up and leave, no longer caring about Yang Shijun's idle affairs.

Yang Shijun is like being hit by five thunders, the whole person is in a state of fear of wolves and tigers, he is afraid of losing his life, and he is afraid that they will open their mouths and take away all their family resources.

"Lord Han stays, the one surnamed Zhou, how much does it cost, you can tell me directly." Yang Shijun was dripping blood in his heart, but he also figured it out, compared to his own life, money is really a thing outside the body, as long as the person is still alive, he can start over, but if his life is gone, everything is gone.

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver, not a penny less, and it must be delivered to the Zhou Mansion within one day, and it cannot be delayed for a moment." Han Pingzhi seemed to have eaten Yang Shijun, looked at him with a smile, and said slowly.

"Okay, I promise." Yang Shijun gritted his back molars and said word by word.

200,000 taels of silver, for him, one of the three masters of the white-clothed guard who has been in the officialdom for many years, is also an astronomical amount, he quickly calculated all his family property, if it adds up, it will be more than 300,000 taels of silver at most, and Zhou Ming only took half an hour to take away two-thirds of his property.

In addition to being heartbroken, thinking of the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Yang Shijun felt a little comforted, after all, Zhou Ming did not have a lion to open his mouth and occupy all his property, after all, his life was at stake, even if Zhou Zhou Ming did not leave him a cent of property, he had no choice.

"Brother Yang, you have to think clearly, this matter cannot be denied, and if you agree, you must do it, otherwise it will be difficult for me, the middleman, to do it." Han Pingzhi pretended to say.

Yang Shijun said with a grateful face: "Brother Han, don't worry, I will definitely do it if I say yes, and it will definitely not affect you, after the matter is over, I will go back and sell my property immediately, and send the silver ticket to their house in the afternoon." ”

Seeing Yang Shijun's painful appearance, Han Pingzhi felt very funny in his heart, and at the same time felt that he deserved it, after all, he had tried to save Yang Shijun several times just now, but this kid didn't pay attention to his stubble at all, so that he came to a dead end, and he could only break his fortune and avoid disasters.

After confirming that Yang Shijun would not regret it again, Han Pingzhi turned around and made a gesture to Zhou Ming, which meant to tell him that what he had done for him had been done, and let him wait to collect the money.

Zhou Ming really didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, in just half an hour, he easily earned 200,000 taels of silver, this time not only the lady's gift has been settled, but also can immediately change the family to a bigger house, so that the Zhou family can regain its former glory.

He could even imagine the expressions on his parents suddenly standing in the big house, and the way the whole family looked at him.

No wonder everyone wants to take a career in office, the money is really fast, and he not only cracked a big case for the imperial court overnight, but also had such an unexpected gain, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

And it's not over after taking this windfall, when the case is over, the court will reward you for your merits, maybe there will be a lot of money waiting for you, it's really cool to be an official.

Zhou Ming looked at the situation in front of him and was secretly happy in his heart.

After Han Pingzhi and Yang Shijun negotiated all the details of the payment, Yang Shijun stood up, waved at his subordinates, and planned to leave.

Han Pingzhi immediately stopped him: "Brother Yang, it's not appropriate for you to leave like this, right?" ”

Yang Shijun was stunned: "Didn't everything be said?" Won't this let me go? ”

Han Pingzhi smiled slightly: "Brother Yang, I didn't mean that, it's just that you don't even leave an IOU, if something goes wrong when you give money again, you and I won't look good on our faces, and it will make people laugh." ”

Yang Shijun's whole personality shook cold, and he said in his heart that Han Pingzhi obviously couldn't trust himself, and he was afraid that he would repay his debts, so he forced himself to write an IOU.

Although he was not convinced by ten thousand in his heart, how could he not bow his head under the low eaves, and finally under the supervision of Han Pingzhi, he still obediently wrote a note, and carefully signed and drew it, and then left with the white-clothed guards.
