Tibetan beads

Chapter 78
The day after Wu Zijing was executed, Yongcheng was so changed.

While Xu Yin sent people back to report the news, the messengers also left Yongcheng in a hurry.

If they don't leave, they are afraid that the belongings at the bottom of the box will be hollowed out.

In the morning, the little servant came to rip off a piece of paper and said plausibly: "Our third young lady is so delicate. For the sake of the overall situation, we have come to the tiger's den alone. First, you don't have to worry about planning, and second, you don't have to take risks. Shouldn't you give money?"

These remarks left the messengers speechless. Thinking about it carefully, a little money can solve Wu Zijing's serious problem, which is really worth it.

Someone said, "What the younger brother said is. When the old man came to Yongcheng, he brought some gifts, and he will send them over later to express his feelings."

Yan Ji nodded and asked kindly, "Where is the gift from your envoy? Is there a gift list?"

The messenger was also honest and said, "As soon as the limousine came, it was dragged back to the palace by Liang Bing, little brother, wait, I'll ask someone to look for it."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ji's face changed, and he said strangely: "It turns out that Wu Zijing was asked to eat it! The abacus is very good at this abacus, and the traitor is put to death. The property he looted will naturally be confiscated. Can it be passed on to our third young lady? If our third young lady takes it, wouldn’t it be bribery? You wouldn’t do it on purpose, would you?”

The messenger was startled and hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not what this old man meant."

Others were stunned.Who doesn't know that confiscation means charging it to Nanyuan's warehouse?Miss Xu San can only take whatever she wants. Could it be that her father will not allow it?What are you talking about, who are you frightening?

But this little servant was clearly deliberately using chicken feathers as arrows, and looked at the messenger with a half-smile and didn't speak.

Under his gaze, the messenger struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "What the little brother said is, but this old man can't control this matter, and he has to report to the governor..."

Hearing what he said, Yan Ji's expression quickly softened, and he looked like he was very good at talking: "Oh, if you have any difficulties, you should tell me earlier! This is easy to handle. Our third lady has already calculated according to the population of each prefecture. If you are willing, come and sign it, and take it back and hand it over to the person in charge. Isn't it very simple? Come on, let's see."

He took a booklet out of his sleeve and spread it out on the table.

The messengers leaned forward to take a look, and the expressions on their faces were immediately wonderful.

In this booklet, it is written that the amount of grain, cloth, gold and silver is quite large, but it does not exceed their psychological bottom line - who is it?Too refined, right?It really depends on the population.

"How is it? Do you guys sign?" The servant was still smiling at them, and the guards at the door were staring at them.

It seems that they can't leave without signing. Now that the Xu family has won Yongcheng, their strength will definitely increase.The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Forget it, if Wu Zijing hadn't died, using such a sum of money to keep his safety would be a delusion.

Someone asked worriedly: "I signed this, there are no other conditions, right?"

"No, no," Yan Ji patted his chest to assure, "Our third young lady said that since you all paid, then the credit for killing Wu Zijing will be yours, so why do you need other conditions?"

Oh, that means a one-time buyout.

The messengers put down the big stone in their hearts, and finally someone let go: "Miss Xu San said that we are willing, so we signed it."

Someone took the lead, and others soon followed.

This is the condition mentioned by the Xu family, and they can't do anything about it!Anyway, if you sign it, you will go back and report to the person who is in charge, and you don't need to pay the money in person.

It's just that they didn't dare to stay any longer after going out like this.This Miss Xu San is not only fierce, but also greedy, and it is better to have less dealings in the future.

Yan Ji took the signed roster and whistled to hand over.

On the way, I saw my son sitting under the porch, and went over to say hello: "Master! Why don't you sleep more? You didn't rest until late last night."

"Wake up automatically, what can I do?" Yan Ling glanced at him and said, "You are very early too! Are you helping Miss Xu San with errands?"

"Yeah!" Yan Ji handed over the pamphlet as if offering a treasure, "Look, sir, this is the food that the prefectures promised to donate. Miss Xu San is really smart. With this food, Nanyuan can recruit troops. Hey, we Is it possible to do the same? In recent years, there have been many thieves and bandits, helping the neighboring state to suppress the bandits, and then collecting money, so you don’t have to worry about food and grass!”

However, Yan Ling poured cold water on him: "What do you think? The Xu family can do this because they don't want to subdue these people. After all, Nanyuan is a small place, and Yongcheng just got it. If you rush to conquer the state capitals, you will have an unstable foundation."

Yan Ji touched his head: "Is that so? Don't they want to increase their strength?"

Yan Ling said: "I want to think about it for sure, but I have to eat one bite at a time, so I can't be in a hurry. Look at Miss Xu San, she asked Wu Zijing's head to return to Liangdu, just to show goodwill. When you are in power, you will definitely befriend the Xu family, and you will be able to get a hidden helper. As for the old Chu states, all of them have their own troops, and now they don’t want to rely on others, but they can’t be anxious.”

Yan Ji seemed to understand but didn't understand: "Oh."

Yan Ling flicked the booklet, with a smile on his face: "This way of getting food and grass can be said to be accomplished in one fell swoop. First, the Xu family single-handedly killed Wu Zijing, who was feared by everyone, causing a de facto situation. Intimidation, but the strength is not enough to subdue the Zhuzhou, it is better to buy it with money to make them feel at ease. Second, it left the Zhuzhou with the impression that Miss Xu San is greedy for money, so she is not so afraid of her. Third, just like you Having said that, with such a large amount of food and grass, there are more things that can be done."

After he finished speaking, he found that Yan Ji was staring at him still, and touched his face in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Yan Ji sighed: "Young Master, I regret it a little!"

Yan Ling was inexplicable: "What do you have to regret? I said earlier that I was scared to death when I came to Yongcheng. Isn't it safe now?"

"It's not this, I mean..." Yan Ji said with a bitter face, "Young Master, why don't we change your partner? Miss Xu San is so powerful, even if they are really married, I'm afraid she didn't bring Nan Yuan to marry, but It's you who got married!"

Speaking of this matter, Yan Ling felt uncomfortable, took the booklet to him, and said fiercely: "What marriage? What are you thinking about? Young master, my marriage is my own parents' life, so it's your turn to say? "

Yan Ji hummed: "Who the hell is thinking? When it comes to Miss Xu San, she smiles like that..."

Yan Ling pretended to fight: "You still said that?"

Yan Ji hurriedly made a seal and ran away with the booklet in her hand: "Young ones don't dare, just go to work here!"

Hey, the son's preference is really different...
