Hidden Sun City.

The old lady from Xiangjian County is nearly seventy years old, although she looks a little old, but her spirit is still strong, she can eat three bowls per meal, and recently married a concubine, this concubine is younger than her daughter Yeyu Concubine, but he doesn't care, life must be happy. Now, the Ye family has moved to Yinyang City, and it has become the largest family in Yinyang City, and the mansion is built in the richest Qinglongfang, and the business of Xiangjian County is basically handed over to the two sons to take care of.

It all started with a big gamble ten years ago. When the King of Shu and the King of Yu teamed up with the Che family to deal with the Ye family, the night owl was forced to put all his net worth on Zhao Lanjiang, although there were some desperate elements of a gamble, but fortunately, he bet right, and the reward was that for ten years, a steady stream of wealth flowed into the Ye family.

As for the Che family, which overwhelmed them back then, it has long been shattered, and several branches have even moved to the Central Plains.

Not only that, the father is expensive with his daughter, and with the relationship of the night princess over the years, he has constantly installed his own people in the Yinyang Palace, the City Lord's Mansion. Night Stalkers understand that to build an immortal family, you need not only money, but also power. With power, money is just an accessory, and with money, you can fund the poor students in Yinyang City, and you can also bribe some officials in power, so that with the Ye family as the center, weave an intricate network of power, interests, and relationships, so that the cornerstone of the Ye family is as stable as Mount Tai.

Moreover, the big and small officials in Yinyang City, whoever sees him will be honored as the old lady of the night, and even some city lords of the Twenty Cities of Yinyang will send gold, silver and jewelry on the occasion of the third festival and two birthdays, and call him a brother or a brother, or perform a junior ceremony, this is only ten years ago, and the night owl didn't even dare to think about it.

The old lady likes to drink, and she drinks a lot. When he drank too much, he often told everyone what Zhao Lanjiang begged him to listen to when he was down, that kind of complacency, as if telling others that without him as a night owl or a night family, he Zhao Lanjiang was nothing, and whenever he talked about this, others would laugh awkwardly.

His life was perfect.

Therefore, he has to live hard.

If Zhao Lanjiang takes over the world in one day, then their Ye family will naturally become the first family in the world, and if Concubine Yeyu can give birth to a son for Zhao Lanjiang again, this position will naturally be stable. Therefore, every time I see Zhao Tianci, the night owl's eyes are very weird. This little demon king of the mixed world, every time he sees him, he doesn't have any respect on his face, but just arches his hand, so that the night owl can't help but scold, there is a mother, and there is no little wild seed raised by a mother.

Two months ago, he had just received a hundred thousand taels of silver.

A distinguished guest from the Central Plains bought a message from him. As for that news, it's not a secret, if the night owl doesn't sell it, it will naturally be sold, and the enemy's silver won't make money if you have money. What will the other party do after buying the news is not a question for the night owl to consider.

Early in the morning, the old lady got up from the gentle township, and the newly married concubine of Baihualou made him a little powerless. If he was thirty years younger, it would definitely not be him who couldn't get out of bed. Some servants came forward to help him groom and dress, and serve him to eat.

The housekeeper came to report: "The second master is here, saying that he has something important to see you." ”

As soon as he heard that Ye Erlang was coming, the old lady was angry.

That nephew Yajiro, who has such a good opportunity, is just a dragoon general. In terms of martial arts, he is a cut above Su Zhengyuan and Lu Liangce, in terms of family power, although their Ye family is not a rich country, they are also known as the first family of Yinyang, in terms of relationship, there is a sister of Princess Yinyang, it is really not angry!

The point is that Yajiro turned his elbow outward and was never able to integrate into the family.

In the border trade center of Xiangjian County, millions of taels of silver are recorded in the account every year, but he doesn't give the Ye family a piece of the pie, and he doesn't even give him the opportunity to get involved, and the money is earned by outsiders. Ye Erlang's two sons rarely come to visit him, except for the annual reverberation of the sacrifice ceremony of Arrow County, they can't even see each other.

This made the night stalker very angry, even

Threatened to separate Yajiro from the clan.

However, he finally understands the truth of both prosperity and loss, and is ready to give him a click, and if necessary, exert his family energy to help him get closer to the Hidden Yang army. The old lady said, "Let him wait in the study for a while, I have to deal with some important things." ”

The night owl accompanied the concubine to the pond to enjoy the flowers, and listened to a play in the house, and in a blink of an eye it was noon, and then he remembered that Ye Erlang was still waiting for him. The old lady came to the study and saw that Ye Erlang was expressionless, and he did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction because he neglected him, and he felt a little proud in his heart.

"Erlang is here, how is your father doing?"

"Thanking Uncle Hongfu, his old man grows vegetables and flowers at home, and he has a good time. ”

"What about the two nephews, you haven't seen them in a few months?"

Ye Erlang said: "I accompanied the young master of Tianci to hunt outside the city." ”

The night owl nodded, signaling the servants to serve tea, this is the new Ming Dynasty Longjing in the Central Plains, which can be sold for a hundred taels of silver for a pound in the Central Plains, and it is even more priceless in Yinyang City, and the tea leaves come up, and the fragrance is fragrant. Ye Erlang didn't drink tea, and the night owl asked, "Erlang came today, is it a business or a private matter?"

"There are business and private matters. ”

He probably guessed some clues, and recently got news from the city lord's mansion that the King of Hidden Yang intends to set up a hussar general, and the candidate is choosing between Lu Liangce, who is newly surrendered, and Ye Erlang, Ye Erlang probably wants to use his relationship to say a few good words in front of Zhao Lanjiang, right?

"Let's talk about private matters first, after all, family interests are more important than everything else. ”

This sentence fell on Ye Erlang's ears, and his body shook.

The old lady said again: "I know that you have an opportunity recently, and you are also waiting for you to beg me, I thought that with your temperament, you would not come to see me, but now you are willing to put down your body, very good, very good." He stood up, came to the bookshelf, fiddled with a new porcelain, turned his back to Ye Erlang, and said: "The prince has been fighting in the south and the north over the years, and the power of our hidden sun is also increasing day by day, and it is only a matter of time to dominate the world. As the head of the family, the old man has to plan well in advance. ”

Yajiro was silent.

"Who would have thought that Zhao Lanjiang was down, took refuge in us, and helped him recapture Yinyang City, but in the past ten years, our night family has stopped. Have you ever wondered why?"

"My nephew doesn't know. ”

"Because we are too merciful. The old lady said, "Chai Gongwang, a mere scholar, doesn't even have a fame, but he can do government affairs on behalf of Yinyang." Chu Xiang, the general of the defeated army in Western Chu, can also command 50,000 elite soldiers in Stone City, and the reason why we ended up like this is precisely because we are too tolerant. If we talk about the merit of Yinyang, who can be worthy of our Ye family? This is the merit of support! Without us, he Zhao Lanjiang is just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhao Lanjiang is in Yinyang City, and he is a legendary existence.

Three times to save Yinyang City from danger, the people of Yinyang are grateful. The only person who can say such disrespectful words is the old lady of the night.

It's not the first time I've heard this kind of thing, but he knows that it's the last time I've heard it.

So he didn't refute.

The old lady said: "I wrote down your matter, I told Zhao Lanjiang directly, it seems a little hasty, I will go to Chai Gongwang tomorrow, this face, I think he will give it." ”

Ye Erlang shook his head and sighed, the order he received today was given by Zhao Lanjiang through Chai Gongwang. He also understood that this was a test for him by Zhao Lanjiang, making a choice and a break between the family and the city lord. All along, he can keep a distance from his family, precisely because this uncle does not know how to be restrained and does things too publicly.

"Erlang, what is business?"

Ye Erlang said: "Mr. Chai asked me to ask my uncle about Phoenix Ridge on behalf of Lord Zhao. ”

When the old lady heard this, her body shook, and she immediately calmed down, "What do you mean?"

“

Uncle himself should be clear. ”

The matter of the guests coming to the night house in the Central Plains is very secret, except for the housekeeper night incense, no third person knows, how can it be transmitted to Chai Gongwang's ears? The old lady felt that the sky was spinning, and her breathing became short, it turned out that Ye Erlang did not come to ask him to do something, but to ask the master to ask for guilt.

"I don't know, I don't know, I haven't heard of it. ”

This is a big crime, and the old lady's first reaction is to deny it.

Mr. Chai doesn't think so. ”

"Evidence, what about the evidence?" the old lady was a little angry, "Chai Gongwang wants to deal with me, and he is a little tender!"

Ye Erlang whispered three words: "Seventh Aunt." ”

Aunt Seven, it was the concubine he married from Baihualou a few months ago, and he inadvertently mentioned this matter to her, the guest from the Central Plains sent 100,000 taels of silver and asked her what she wanted, she could buy it for her. Who would have thought that the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and this unintentional remark brought death to himself.

The old lady's face suddenly aged a lot.

This matter can be said to be big or small. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if the grain is stolen, he can pay for it himself and plug this hole. But if it is investigated, it is not a light crime. A few thoughts turned in his heart, at this moment, the only person who could save him was his daughter, Princess Yeyu of the Hidden Sun.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to see the princess!"

Ye Erlang said: "The princess went to Kangju City today to pray for blessings, and she will come back in three days." ”

Chai Gongwang had already expected that Old Lady Chai would be like this, so he deliberately chose the time when the princess was not in the city and asked Ye Erlang to come.

"I can send someone to invite her!"

Ye Erlang shook his head, "Even if you ask the princess to come back, it won't help." The order came from Zhao Wangye. ”

The old lady was weak, sitting on the Taishi's chair, he trembled, "Zhao Lanjiang? I don't remember how poor he looked back then, who helped him get to where he is today! Now that his wings are hard, is this to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"

Yajiro took a step forward.

The old lady trembled with fright, "Erlang, can you spare my life, I will pass on the position of the head of this family to you, how about it? Just leave me some money for retirement. It's really not good, let me go back to the ancestral house of Xiangjian County. You can help me plead with the prince and Chai Gongwang again!"

Ye Erlang took out a wine jug and a jade cup from his arms, and slowly filled a glass of wine.

A glass of poisoned wine.

Ye Erlang said lightly: "Uncle, fornicating with the enemy army and leaking military secrets is already a crime against the Jiu clan. The prince only killed you, it is already to save the face of the family, if you know the fun, drink the donkey and commit suicide, our night family is still the first family of Yinyang!"

The old lady was furious, and overturned the wine glass, spilling the wine all over the ground.

"Zhao Lanjiang, this ungrateful, despicable and shameless villain...... Old man...... Woohoo......"

Ye Erlang stepped forward, grabbed the night owl's neck, and poured the remaining wine in the jug into his mouth. After a while, the old lady convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground and died.

The news that the old lady of the Ye family, the first family of Hidden Yang, died violently from a strange disease, spread all over Hidden Yang City.

When the night princess heard the news, she rushed from Kangju City overnight, hugged her father's corpse and wept bitterly.

Ye Jiro successfully became the head of the Ye family.

Since Zhao Lanjiang was not in Yinyang City, Chai Gongwang presided over the funeral of the old lady of the night on his behalf, and announced to the people of Yinyang that the old lady of the night was posthumously named the old lady of the night as the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and the funeral was specially organized for seven days and seven nights, which was a beautiful talk for a while. Some people even questioned how the old lady had gone out on horseback hunting the night before, so how could she suddenly die of a violent illness?

Only the night family was full of people from all over the house, and they never mentioned this matter.

PS: Due to the number of words in the contract, I will speed up the progress later.
