Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68 Zhen Yan was arrested (for collection, for recommendation)

Not long after, Yuan Xi brought Hu Niuer to the gate of Zhen's mansion, and after being led into the main hall by his servants, he saw Zhen Shu was already waiting there.

"Xianyi pays respects to uncle," Yuan Xi hurriedly saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, why did Xian Yi come here suddenly today, and Wei Bo is planning to wait for your elder brother to come back from doing business abroad, so he can visit your residence?"

Zhen Shu asked kindly, his attitude was more gentle than before, and even a little more respectful. Although Yuan Xi was a son and had a high status in the past, he had not yet grasped the real power after all. However, now Yuan Xi is one of the three sons. The first one to be sealed off, although it is the worst Youzhou among the four continents, but it is also the governor of the governor, the head of a state, the people under his command have nothing to do, and the power is so huge, and during this period, many things happened Things, not mentioning Zhen Mi's intentional or unintentional reminders to him, just talking about the death of Curse Shou and Qu Yi, made my heart chill. Although their Zhen family often subsidizes the General's Mansion, how can their credit be comparable to these two civil and military men? Merit, now the world is in chaos, even if they say they will die, let alone a Zhen family, so he urgently needs to find a backer, and although Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are stronger than Yuan Xi now, Yuan Xi is their son-in-law, and Zhen Mi is their son-in-law. Yuan Xi's regular wife, just because of this relationship, he has already decided to put the bargaining chip on Yuan Xi.

"Xianyi is really ashamed, this time I came here to borrow money from my uncle." Hearing this, Yuan Xi didn't hide anything, and said frankly.

Zhen Shu frowned, then nodded, looked at the butler at the side, and said, "How much money is left in the business now?"

"My lord, there are about 3 gold left," the butler immediately replied.

"Take [-] gold immediately and send it to the Second Young Master's mansion," Zhen Shu ordered immediately.

"No!" After the housekeeper was startled, he quickly retreated.

Yuan Xi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Uncle, why don't you ask me why I spend so fast?"

Zhen Shu smiled slightly, and said: "Why do you ask, Xian Yi, we are a family, money is nothing at all, uncle understands, only if you are strong, the Zhen family can truly prosper, no one else can be relied on, you If you need anything, just come to uncle.”

A light flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes. It seemed that Zhen Shu had decided to join him, which was a good thing. With the strong financial support of the Zhen family, he would definitely be able to develop faster.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Xi said gratefully: "Thank you uncle, but Xi will never let uncle suffer any loss. This time is not for nothing. Xi will go to Youzhou soon. After waiting, within half a year , Xi will return you [-] gold, and there are three official places. In addition, I plan to let my elder brother be the prefect of Shanggu County and occupy a land alone. What do you think?"

Zhen Shu's pupils shrank suddenly, Shanggu County is not a small county, and the position of prefect is extremely powerful, and an excited smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Okay, okay, Xianyi, the Zhen family will do their best to help you in the future, what money do you want?" Don't worry, just tell your uncle that"

"Then thank you uncle." Yuan Xi smiled. In this way, not only the Zhen family was completely drawn in, but also the talent of Zhen Yan was obtained. It really kills two birds with one stone. As for the prefect of Shanggu County, he was already prepared to replace him. He replaced the prefects of Shanggu County and Youzhou counties with his cronies step by step.

"Haha" Zhen Shu smiled excitedly, and said, "Xianyi, we must have lunch before leaving, let's have a good chat."

"Of course, Xi must respect Uncle a few cups," Yuan Xi said with a smile

"Okay." Zhen Shu stroked his chin beard in satisfaction.

Just when the two were about to go to the inner courtyard, there was a burst of anxious shouting from outside.

"My lord, my lord" I saw a servant with a panicked expression appearing in front of his eyes, with blood on his clothes.

After Zhen Shu saw it clearly, his face turned pale immediately, and he rushed over, "Lu Si, what's going on, Yan'er?"

"Master, it's not good. The eldest son was captured by bandits. They want me to come back and report the letter. They say they want five thousand gold, otherwise they will kill the son." Lu Si cried bitterly.

Zhen Shu was shaken all over, became dizzy, and even couldn't stand still, Yuan Xi hurriedly supported him, and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, with Xianyi here, I will never let anyone hurt the Zhen family." "

Hearing this, Zhen Shu immediately calmed down a lot, and said anxiously: "Xianyi, you must save Yan'er, he is the future head of the Zhen family!"

"Uncle, don't worry." Yuan Xi's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Lu Sidao: "Brother, where were they arrested?"

"It's near Niutoushan, which is less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng," Lu Si immediately reported.

"Did you see how many people were there when they robbed?" Yuan Xi continued to ask.

"No more than two hundred at most," Lu Si replied cautiously after thinking for a while.

Hearing this, Zhen Shu scolded angrily and worriedly: "Didn't I have told you many times that you must pay attention to safety issues along the road? Where there are bandits, I would rather take a longer detour than avoid them." ah!"

"My lord, we can't blame us for this. Niutoushan has always been very stable before, but I don't know why there is a group of bandits all of a sudden," Lu Si said helplessly.

Regarding this point, Yuan Xi is very clear. Now the world is in chaos. Although the north is pacified, there is still no great order. The eyes of all the tyrants are still on the world. The number of thieves is increasing day by day.

"It's useless to say these things now." Yuan Xi turned his head to look at Zhen Shu, and said, "Uncle, you prepare five thousand gold first, and then we can save the eldest brother and the others safely."

"Okay," Zhen Shu quickly responded.

Yuan Xi looked at Hu Niu at the side again, and said grimly: "Niuer, you can take Lu Si to the barracks, tell Jiao Touch and Yuan Ping what happened here, and order them to send 2000 people over. I don’t want to see the bandits anymore, let me get rid of them completely.”

"No!" Hu Niu responded quickly, and rushed out with Lu Si.

Zhen Shu at the side looked at Yuan Xi who suddenly exuded a strong majesty, surprise and excitement flickered in his eyes, seeing that Mi Er was right, this so-called mediocre second son was hiding something very deep, He hurriedly said gratefully, "Xianyi, please."

At this moment, he finally felt that those relationships outside were fake, and that only his own family would really care and take care of you. If he relied on himself, he could also let the city guards dispatch the bandits, but it would probably cost a lot of money, and the other party It may not be able to do well, but Yuan Xi can let two thousand troops pass by with just one word. This kind of gap is unimaginable.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Didn't you say it just now? We are a family. If something happened to our family, how could Xian Yi stand by and watch?" Yuan Xi laughed.

"Yes, yes, family, family..." Zhen Shu's face suddenly showed a touch of emotion.
