Chapter 65: Extortion

Li Lingwu and the others didn't know about the poisoning incident at first, and when they watched Li Wuchang's performance, they felt that he was making a big fuss, but now when they heard that Zhang Jincai dared to instigate people to poison him, he still threw it into such severe pain as Hedinghong, and instantly felt that this matter was indeed bad.

Zhang Yanbo's face turned blue, and he defended: "You are talking nonsense, I clearly told Zhang Jincai not to make deadly poisons, just get some laxative herbs and the like, how can it be Hedinghong." ”

"Oh, it turned out that it was really ordered by the second cousin, I thought it was Zhang Jincai's nonsense. Li Wuchang immediately picked it up, revealing a look of sudden realization.

Zhang Xiu secretly sighed, Zhang Yanbo is really an idiot.

was bluffed by Li Wuchang casually, and jumped out to explain the situation, which could have been pushed to the housekeeper, but now it's okay, and he said it in front of everyone.

At this time, the expressions of everyone in the Li family looking at Zhang Yanbo changed.

This kid was so bold that he told the butler to do such a thing.

Zhang Yanbo realized that he had fallen for Li Wuchang, his face turned red, and when he saw Li Wuchang's arrogant appearance, boundless anger surged in his heart, and said: "Yes, what if I ordered it, you don't want to wronged me, I didn't tell Zhang Jincai to let go of the goose." ”

Anyway, he has already admitted it, but Zhang Yanbo is very single, but he doesn't admit that he has released goose top red.

Li Wuchang showed a sad look, and said: "Second cousin, you are still too easy to trust others, although you don't like the younger brother, and want to send Zhang Jincai to give some material to the younger brother's restaurant, and ruin the reputation of the Dongli Restaurant, but Zhang Jincai is bold, and he actually pushes the boat down the river, and he plans to make a plan, and he wants to poison people and push it on your second cousin, and when the time comes, I want to let your Zhang family carry the black pot." ”

Zhang Yanbo almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and said fiercely: "Li Wuchang, you are a bloody squirter." ”

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yanbang also listened to it, and Li Wuchang made it clear that he wanted to wronged Zhang Jincai and let Zhang Yanbo bear the pot.

Now Zhang Jincai is in the hands of Li Wuchang, and Zhang Yanbo just admitted that he sent Zhang Jincai to Dongli Restaurant to make materials, and now Li Wuchang can say whatever he wants.

Li Wuchang's eyes narrowed, and he said: "The second cousin's experience is too shallow, in my opinion, if Zhang Jincai succeeds in poisoning Dongli Restaurant, he will inevitably poison many guests, and as soon as he comes to Dongli Restaurant, he will be seized by the Yamen, and secondly, he is a member of your Zhang family, and after the accident, the Criminal Department will definitely investigate your Zhang family." ”

After a pause, he said: "This is killing two birds with one stone, both hitting the Li Mansion and the Zhang Mansion, and ah, I saw that he wanted to run away that day, if I hadn't caught him, he would have returned to the Khitan." ”

Now Li Wuchang really can say whatever he wants.

Zhang Yanbo was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Li Wuchang and speechless.

Zhang Yanbang was quite calm, and said: "Cousin, if there is anything, you can sit down and talk slowly, if my cousin has any requirements, I will try my best to meet you." ”

Now there is no way, the Zhang family must have a good talk with Li Wuchang, can it really make Li Wuchang make trouble in the city.

Li Wuchang laughed and said, "It's still the eldest cousin who is reasonable, why don't I analyze this matter now?"

Zhang Yanbang smiled and made a gesture to signal Li Wuchang to continue.

Li Wuchang said: "That day, the county lord of the Qi Mansion and the eldest lady of the Lin family were in the restaurant, and they wanted to drink laba porridge by name, the eldest cousin think about it, if the pot of poisoned porridge was drunk by the county lord and Miss Lin, what do you think would be the consequences?"

Zhang Yanbang sighed in his heart, now Li Wuchang deliberately said that the matter was very serious, and it was clear that he wanted to get more benefits from the Zhang family.

Zhang Yanbo interjected: "Do you think that the Qi Mansion and the Lin Mansion will believe what you say?"

Li Wuchang snorted coldly and said: "Second cousin, otherwise, I will go to King Qi's Mansion now and see King Qi, I will say that, there is a guy named Zhang Jincai, who was instructed by the Zhang family, and wants to kill the Lord of Ting in the porridge, do you guess King Qi will believe it?"

Zhang Yanbo was speechless for a moment.

The crowd was speechless for a while.

Damn, Li Wuchang, a stunned young man, really did everything, and didn't think about the consequences at all, Li Er's nickname was really not wrong.

King Qi's love for the county lord of Ting is well-known in Chang'an City, and if he knows that someone wants to murder the county lord of Ting, he will be furious.

When the time comes, will Zhang Yanbo have a good end? Can the Zhang family have a good end?

Zhang Yanbang hurriedly said: "Cousin, don't be impulsive, dissipate your anger, don't listen to your second cousin, come, you continue." ”

He wanted to get the deal done quickly.

Li Wuchang took a sip of tea and continued: "Big cousin, come on, I helped your Zhang family catch Zhang Jincai, this bastard, did I do your Zhang family a great favor?"

Zhang Yanbang secretly sighed and said, "Of course." ”

There was no way, what else could he say.

Li Wuchang's face was a little better, and he said, "Since this is the case, then the eldest cousin will give me some hardship expenses plus mental damage expenses, and I will not pursue this matter." ”

Zhang Yanbang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the negotiation was completed, it seems that Li Wuchang doesn't want to make it too big, but just wants to get justice.

"Well, for the sake of the eldest cousin's face, I will only accept 150,000 taels of silver. Li Wuchang laughed.

Wow!

Everyone was shocked.

Not again!

Last time, I asked for 70,000 taels from the Zhang family, but this time it was even more exaggerated, directly asking for 150,000 taels, which is no longer as simple as a lion opening his mouth.

Zhang Yanbo finally couldn't help it and scolded: "You're crazy, right?"

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "Yes, I am crazy, poor and crazy, but I want money is also upright and upright, unlike some people, who are jealous of other people's restaurant business, and think about how to use conspiracy and trickery to get the restaurant all day long, but they are used by Khitan spies." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Since the second cousin is not satisfied with this price, okay, then I will change it, now 160,000 taels." ”

"You...... It's too much to deceive people!" Zhang Yanbo pointed at Li Wuchang and said fiercely.

Li Lingwu and Zhang Xiu had a very tacit understanding, neither of them spoke, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"It's too much to deceive people, then 180,000 taels, you can talk about it again. Li Wuchang stared at Zhang Yanbo.

"Cousin, don't get excited, your price is too ......," Zhang Yanbang interjected.

"Since the eldest cousin has spoken, then 200,000 taels!" Li Wuchang didn't say anything about it.

Zhang Yanbang was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he had to look at Zhang Xiu and Li Lingwu.

There was silence.

No one spoke, only the sound of Li Wuchang drinking water, and the atmosphere was awkward and weird.

"Ling Wu, do you see this?" Zhang Xiu broke the silence and said the first sentence of the day.

"Brother Xiu, what do you want the little brother to do, even if you tell me, the little brother will never refuse. Li Lingwu replied.

The thing is obvious.

Li Wuchang just caught Zhang Jincai and went to Dongli Restaurant to poison him, and wanted to blackmail the Zhang family, whether it was a crane top red, a Khitan spy or a Khitan spy, or Lord Ting and Miss Lin, it was all nonsense.

But Li Wuchang's nonsense, everyone can't refute it.

Zhang Xiu thought that if he paid a sum of money, he could press the matter and forget it, but he didn't expect Li Wuchang's appetite to be so big. When he heard 150,000 taels, Zhang Xiu wanted to shoot Li Wuchang to death on the spot, but he just thought about it, he wanted Li Lingwu to put some pressure on Li Wuchang, but Li Lingwu didn't accept the offer, and directly let Zhang Xiu make his own decisions.

Zhang Xiu is now in a dilemma.

Give money, 150,000 taels is not a small amount, although the Zhang family has a lot of wealth, but a few days ago it has already spent a lot, and it hurts to take out another 150,000 taels.

Don't give money, if Li Wuchang, a stunned young man, really goes to King Qi or Mrs. Lin, King Qi and Mrs. Lin are both understanding people, and they may not believe Li Wuchang's nonsense, but it is difficult to guarantee that King Qi and Mrs. Lin will not pretend to be confused and take the opportunity to stab the Zhang family, then it will be troublesome.

Even if Li Wuchang doesn't go to the Qi Wangfu and the Lin Mansion, if he hands over Zhang Jincai to the Yin of Chang'an Mansion or the Criminal Department, and then blows a few words of Khitan spies, it will definitely make a storm in the city, and the Zhang family will not be able to eat and walk around.

In the final analysis, it was Zhang Yanbo who wanted to harm people, but he did things uncleanly, and was caught by Li Wuchang's tail.

As a result, instead of harming others, they are blackmailed.

Zhang Xiu frowned, thinking about the strategy.

Li Lingwu just spoke and said that everything is up to Zhang Xiu, could it be that Zhang Xiu really had the cheekiness to ask Li Lingwu to speak to stop Li Wuchang, so can Zhang Xiu still raise his head in front of the Li family in the future?

Seeing this, Zhang said: "Impermanence, speak well, even if Yanbo is wrong, he is also deceived by Zhang Jincai, not to mention that he is also your cousin, don't be ignorant, the lion opens his mouth." ”

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene is best played by the Zhang family, Zhang Xiu is the Zhang family's own brother, and Li Wuchang is just a concubine of the Li family, so he has to be called Zhang's aunt.

For the Zhang family, her mother's family had a dispute with a concubine of the Li family, and she naturally wanted to face her mother's family, as long as she opened her mouth, Li Wuchang would dare to resist.

Zhang Yanbo also showed a smug look.

Li Wuchang said lightly: "Auntie's words are wrong, Zhang Jincai is extremely insidious, not just deceived the second cousin, according to my interrogation, this matter is also related to the money housekeeper in our house, Zhang Jincai is a strategy to discuss with the money housekeeper, Zhang Jincai is the main person in this matter, and the money housekeeper is supplemented." ”

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, as far as I know, Steward Qian used to be the Zhang family, and Steward Qian and Zhang Jincai must have colluded privately for a long time in an attempt to murder the Zhang family. It can be seen from this that I have made a great contribution to catching Zhang Jincai, only 200,000 taels, how can it be a lion's big mouth. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingwu's face was solemn and he stared at Zhang.

Zhang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It must be Zhang Jincai talking nonsense, impermanence, you are right, that Zhang Jincai is really insidious." ”

At that time, she really asked Steward Qian to go to Zhang Jincai to discuss how to get her hands on Dongli Restaurant.

She couldn't figure out whether Li Wuchang was really tried or if she was talking about it, but she was startled anyway, thinking that she must clear up the relationship.

The atmosphere is more subtle.

Li Lingwu stared at Zhang's family, his mind racing, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

Zhang Xiu knew a little bit of the truth, and he quickly thought of a way in his heart, now it is not a relationship of 200,000 taels, and the Zhang family must be taken out.

The daughter of the Zhang family who married out actually united with her mother's family and tried her best to seize the property of the Li family's concubine, and if it was spread, the scene was unimaginable.

Will the daughter of the Zhang family still marry in the future?

Who would dare to marry the Zhang family?

Zhang Xiu immediately made a decision and said: "Impermanence, this time it was your second cousin who was a bastard and made you wronged, don't worry, 200,000 taels of uncle will give you the full amount, how do you think this matter will be over?"

Li Wuchang Zhang Xiu was obviously panicked, and when he saw it, he accepted it, and said with a smile: "Uncle is polite, in fact, I didn't think about going to King Qi or Mrs. Lin at all, and I didn't even think about going to the yamen to complain." ”

Then he showed an extremely gloomy smile and continued: "I want to take that pot of porridge, and then bet Zhang Jincai to go directly to Master Tang, the imperial historian, it just so happens that Zheng Shilang of the Ministry of Rites owes me a personal favor and can introduce me to him." ”

Except for Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun, everyone present had an idea.

Damn, Li Wuchang is really crazy.

Who is Tang Zhifeng, everyone knows that he is a master who doesn't even care about the prince and Mrs. Lin.

Zheng Heng is quite appreciated by Tang Zhifeng, and he really owes Li Wuchang a favor, so he can indeed recommend Li Wuchang.

In case Li Wuchang really moved Tang Zhifeng, it would not be as simple as 200,000 taels of silver, and the group of imperial historians under Tang Zhifeng would make Zhang Jiashen's scalp numb.

In Zhang Xiu's eyes, that group of imperial historians is a bunch of bastards who are full of food all day long and have nothing to do, and find fault everywhere, if they are targeted, how can they have a good life.
