The opening of the Three Kingdoms inherits the bravery of the overlord of Chu

Chapter 8
Zhen house.

The courtyard is deep, the outer three courtyards and the inner three courtyards are like a small palace. There are many maids and servants in the mansion, which is worthy of being the largest merchant in Jizhou.

"Second Miss, go in quickly, Madam is looking for you!"

Seeing Zhen Tuo coming back, the old housekeeper said anxiously to Zhen Tuo.

Zhen Tuo turned around and said to the butler, "Uncle Wang, please introduce these three distinguished guests for me first, and I will come as soon as I go."

"Okay! Second Miss!"

Uncle Wang responded casually.

……

In the wing room of the inner courtyard, a woman walked back and forth with a worried look on her face.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Zhen Tuo quickly walked in and asked the woman. This woman was Zhang Shi, the wife of Shangcai Ling Zhenyi, who was also the mother of Luoshen Zhen Mi. Zhen Yi had passed away as early as 186 AD.

Mrs. Zhang asked eagerly: "Tuo'er, is your eldest brother back?"

"not yet!"

Zhen Tuo said sadly.

A few days ago, Zhen Tuo's second elder brother, Zhen Yao (Zhen Yi had three sons, Zhen Yu, Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao, Zhen Yu died early, so Zhen Yan was the eldest, Zhen Yao was the second, and had five daughters, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Yao Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi) went out to do business, and when they passed by Zhongshan, they were captured by Heishan bandits. The disciples who accompanied them sent back news, saying that the bandits wanted [-] yuan and [-] shi for food before releasing them.

This small amount of money is not a difficult task for the Zhen family, so Zhen Yan asked people to prepare money and food to send over. He never thought that this group of thieves were greedy, and after tasting the sweetness, they became even worse and asked for 50 yuan before they would let it go. people.

Zhen Yan was overwhelmed, so she informed the prefect of Zhongshan County to send troops to suppress the bandits. I don't know if the news leaked out, or the bandit army was too strong.

The black mountain bandits became even more rampant, and directly raised the price to 500 million yuan, asking them to raise enough money to redeem him within ten days, otherwise they would kill Zhen Yao.

The Zhen family fell into a dilemma for a while, the prefect of Zhongshan County refused to send troops to pay the thieves, and threatened to ask the Zhen family for a pension.And it is not easy to raise 500 million yuan within ten days. You must know that during the period of Emperor Han Ling, the price of the three princes was only 1000 million yuan. Mrs. Cheng, Liu Hong's mother-in-law, bought the position of Situ for only 500 million yuan.

The "money" of the Eastern Han Dynasty still used the "five baht money" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This money was made of copper, 2 cm in diameter, and weighed five baht.As for gold and silver, they belonged to the luxury goods of the upper class and rarely circulated.

Zhen Yan is afraid that the thief will kill her second brother, but also afraid that the lion will continue to open her mouth, so she is in a dilemma.When he learned that Jizhou Mu Hanfu had come back to raise food, he hurried to ask to see him, but after going for a long time, he still didn't see anyone coming back.

"Mother, I have to meet someone today. He stopped the frightened horse with his bare hands and broke the horse's neck. What do you say..."

Zhen Tuo said in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhang was originally from a rich family, intelligent and virtuous, and immediately understood what Zhen Tuo meant, showing a glimmer of hope, but then was overwhelmed by doubts, and sighed: "The government can't do anything to these bandits, so what can he do!"

Zhen Tuo said softly again: "That's true...but..."

"But what!"

Seeing her daughter hesitated to speak, Mrs. Zhang thought about it and asked.

Zhen Tuo replied: "It's nothing, now we can only pin our hopes on big brother."

The mother and daughter both looked melancholy, and after a while, Zhen Yan walked in dejectedly, and sighed: "Hey..., I can only go to redeem people with money tomorrow morning, lest the thieves will act again. Heart."

Mrs. Zhang paused when she heard the words, and asked sadly, "Yan'er, but Master Zhou doesn't want to send troops there?"

Zhen Yan nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhou said that the war at Hulao Pass is urgent, and he is unable to mobilize troops to fight against the Black Mountain bandits, so he asked us to give a thousand shi of grain."

"This……"

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, holding back tears, hoping to redeem her son as soon as possible.

At this moment, the old housekeeper, Uncle Wang, came over and said, "Second Miss, your three distinguished guests said that it was getting late and they are going back. Look..."

Zhen Yan turned to look at Zhen Tuo, and asked, "Second Sister, do you have a distinguished guest?"

Only then did Zhen Tuo recall that he had been talking with his mother in the room, but he forgot about it. He felt a little sorry and said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, you go and keep them first, and I will come later."

"Brother, I met these three honored guests on the road. They are all very handsome. One of them subdued the frightened horse with his bare hands. I wanted to ask them to help rescue the second brother, but my mother said that even the officers and soldiers can't deal with this group of people." Bandits, we can only let them go."

"Oh!"

Zhen Yan responded, and then said: "If you really have some skills, you can invite us to go tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Yan followed Zhen Tuo to the front courtyard hall, and saw that Zhao Feng and the other three had already got up, and if Uncle Wang hadn't stopped them, they would have already left. They wanted to grab a delicious meal, but they were bored after drinking a full stomach of tea. very.

Zhen Yan hurriedly stepped forward, cupped her hands and said: "The three strong men are very polite, but the younger sister's hospitality is not good, I will apologize to Zhen Yan."

Zhao Feng looked at Zhen Yan for a while, he looked unattractive, but he had an attitude of being born wealthy.

Zhen Yan said again: "I heard from my little sister that the three strong men stopped the frightened horses and rescued my little sister. They are the distinguished guests of my Zhen family. How can they leave on an empty stomach? Uncle Wang, order the kitchen to prepare wine and vegetables. I want to entertain the three honored guests well."

"In this case, I will disturb you!"

Anyway, the purpose of this trip is to grab a delicious meal, of course Zhao Feng would not refuse, and agreed heartily.

The back kitchen prepared the food and wine early, before it was dark, Zhen Yan held a banquet to entertain guests, and compliments were indispensable. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhen Yan changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "I think the three strong men are all very good." For ordinary people, Zhen Yan has something to ask, if the three strong men agree, I will definitely thank you."

Zhao Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Zhen Yan. It's fake to ask for dinner, but it's true to ask for something. Could it be that he has been seen through?
It shouldn't be!Although he killed Hua Xiong conveniently, it was only spread among the Kwantung Allied Forces, when did he become so famous.

Zhen Yan sensed Zhao Feng's sharp eyes, and quickly explained: "My second brother, Zhen Yao, was hijacked by black bandits in Zhongshan when he went out to do business. Qi, but I am afraid that the bandit army will cause disaster again, so I ask the three of you to help."

"So that's what happened..."

Before Zhao Feng could finish speaking, Zhen Yan said again: "Please don't worry, the three of you. There are still a hundred people from my house who will go with us tomorrow. I just hope that the three of you will help out in times of crisis."

"Ding! The emperor system releases selection tasks!"

"1. Choose righteousness to act, help the Zhen family go to Zhongshan to rescue Zhen Yao, reward 200 reputation points, successfully rescue Zhen Yao, reward 1000 reputation points."

"2. If you choose to give up decisively and leave Zhen's house immediately, you will gain the favor of the Black Bandit. When you face the Black Bandit in the future, your charm will be +10."

[Emperor system prompt: The higher the charisma value, the higher the chance of subduing. 】

"Please choose the host as soon as possible!"

Zhao Feng responded immediately: "Choose 1!"

If Zhen Yao can be rescued, not only will he have 1000 reputation points, but he will also be recognized by the Zhen family. If there is an incident in the future, there will be an extra granary, so why not do it.

Zhao Feng said solemnly: "Hey, thanks to Master Zhen's attention, I will leave this matter to my subordinates. You don't need 500 million yuan. You prepare 100 million yuan. I will send someone to pick it up early tomorrow morning. As long as the bandits don't kill you, we will take care of you." Then I have the confidence to save people.”

Zhen Yan paused, looked at Zhao Feng dumbfounded, and said dully: "You..."

Zhao Feng quickly responded: "Master Zhen can rest assured, although I am not a celebrity or hero, I know what I say and keep my word, and I won't run away after swallowing your 100 million yuan. I, I naturally have a way to save people."

Seeing that Zhen Yan still had an unbelievable look on his face, Zhao Feng got up and glanced at a stone sculpture outside the house, which seemed to weigh at least seven or eight hundred catties, and walked over.

It seems impossible not to show one's hand!

Zhao Feng stretched out his hands and hugged the base of the stone sculpture. He lifted the stone sculpture easily with just a little bit of strength. You must know that the bravery of the Overlord can lift a tripod, and it can lift a thousand catties. Say, not small cacs yet.

Zhen Yan looked at Zhao Feng with a look of shock, and said in astonishment: "Zhao Zhuangshi is really powerful and powerful, Zhen Yan is rude, well, I will prepare the money tomorrow morning."

Now Zhen Yan invited Zhao Feng into the house again, poured the wine in person, was very courteous, and told Zhao Feng the agreed place, feeling relieved a lot.
