The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 97
Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are you sure it's just two people?"

Bai Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, then understood, but frowned and said: "This third son is quite talented, but it's a pity that it is not easy to tame him. This person is one of the 'Four Young Masters of the Capital'. , talents are all outstanding, but I heard that he is very stubborn."

Yun Yuhong was stunned for a moment, "Stubborn? How can you be stubborn?"

"He was originally the concubine of the family, but he was smart since he was a child, and he knew even a little about civil engineering. He was a rare genius in the Zhang family. At that time, the old master of the Zhang family was still alive and loved him very much. I was taught by my side, and I heard that he had already learned something when he was a teenager, and he had a certain prestige in the Zhang family. Unfortunately, after the old man left, he accidentally cut off his legs during a mechanism production, and he has been negative for a while. Time. Zhang Shangshu didn't like this son very much, and since then, he has ignored him even more. Later, I heard that Mr. Zhang San was kicked out of the house." Bai Ziyu recalled.

"Kicked out? Then why does he care about these things?" Yun Yuhong asked curiously.

Bai Ziyu sighed: "This third son is a skill taught by Mr. Zhang himself, and he is also the best in the Zhang family's craftsmen. According to the inheritance of this business, the third son should be the real master of the Zhang family. The head of the family, Zhang Shangshu holds an important position, so he is willing to bow his head to his son. This is also the reason for driving him away. Therefore, when he left, he also took away most of the outstanding people in the Zhang family. Later, when he became famous, Someone once advised him to set up his own family and really leave the Zhang family, but he refused all of them."

"For filial piety?" Yun Yuhong asked in surprise.

Bai Ziyu nodded, "Mr. Zhang San has always hoped that Zhang Shangshu will change his mind and let him return to the Zhang family. The sentence he said the most is 'there is no wrong parent in the world', but Zhang Shangshu has never been so arrogant. Regret."

Yun Yuhong smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, "Jinghuihou wanted to save the second son's life before he died, but I want to know which son Zhang Shangshu would want to keep when he was dying life."

After the two of them finished their meal, Yun Yuhong sent someone to invite Mr. Zhang. The disaster relief work has improved, but the construction of the levee is imminent. With the current condition of the levee, there will be another heavy rain It will collapse, and the most urgent thing is to repair it while the weather is good, and how to repair it requires an expert like Mr. Zhang.

Yun Yuhong got straight to the point, and said bluntly: "Third Young Master, in order to prevent the people from being flooded again, I want to rush to repair the embankment while the weather is good, and I need you to preside over this matter."

Mr. Zhang San sneered and said, "Why should I do things for you?"

"You are not doing things for me, you are doing things for the people of Moyun, and you are also doing things for your Zhang family. You know who brought this disaster, I am not begging you, but for your Zhang family A chance for redemption." Yun Yuhong said seriously.

Bai Ziyu also persuaded: "What the third son has done recently has committed a serious crime. This is an opportunity to make up for his mistakes. I hope the third son will cherish it."

Mr. Zhang San lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Bai Ziyu: "Master Bai said that if I can repair the dams, or even the dams and rivers across the country, I can protect Moyun from drought and floods for at least ten years. Can the Zhang family be exonerated?"

Bai Ziyu was also stunned for a while, and retorted: "Of course not. What the Zhang family has done is an unforgivable crime. For selfishness, how many people died, how many families were destroyed, how can the merits and demerits be offset."

Third Young Master Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, I don't want to live alone, we just want to die together. Eldest Princess, please forgive me for not being able to follow my orders." After finishing speaking, Third Young Master Zhang closed his eyes, looking deathly at home. look.

Bai Ziyu wanted to persuade him again, but Yun Yuhong stopped him with a wink.Since Mr. Zhang San is famous for his stubbornness, it is impossible to be persuaded by a few words of persuasion. It is just that Mr. Zhang has a good idea, but some things are independent of human will. Mr. Zhang is beautiful. Whether the idea can be realized is another matter.

Yun Yuhong pretended to meditate for a while, before saying: "The request you said is not too much, but the master of the Zhang family, can you do it?"

Mr. Zhang San opened his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a token from his arms, "This is the token of the head of the Zhang family. It was given to me by my grandfather. I can't be the head of the Shangshu mansion, but the Zhang family Lord I can do it."

Yun Yuhong nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll make a deal."

Bai Ziyu looked at Yun Yuhong with some concern. If this matter is not handled well, it will lose people's hearts and minds. Even if it can be concealed for a while, it will bury hidden dangers in the future. However, repairing embankments is a top priority. He couldn't say anything more.

In the following days, Bai Ziyu got busy again, arranging the distribution of relief money and resettlement of the victims with Mr. Ke every day, and discussing various things with Zhang Sangong about repairing the embankment, and the whole person kept spinning like a spinning top.It's just that Yun Yuhong can't help him with these matters, and she doesn't want to interfere with Bai Ziyu's affairs. Bai Ziyu is the imperial envoy for disaster relief, and he has his own ideas and dignity.

However, Yun Yuhong didn't take time off either. Although she promised Mr. Zhang that the matter of the embankment would not be a big deal, she didn't let go of the investigation.She took the clever ghost to find all the officials and businessmen who participated in the dam project, cut corners, and accepted bribes. The "redemption" cannot be done by Zhang Sangong alone, and they can't escape. Yun Yuhong's request is true. Not much. First, all the family property was confiscated and used to appease the victims and repair the embankment. Second, all the members of the family went to work on the embankment, including men, women, and children. When it was repaired, they could leave.At the end, each person writes a confession, writing about their crimes.

Some of these people were very honest, seeing that things were revealed, Yun Yuhong didn't arrest them and put them in jail or cut off their heads, they were already very grateful, so obediently obeyed.Of course, most of them are not honest enough, they either refuse to admit it or want to shirk their responsibilities, Yun Yuhong is not polite, all the family property is copied, and the people are thrown into prison, but this does not mean that you can quit work, but he had to wear handcuffs and be watched by officials.

What Yun Yuhong did was really relieved in the eyes of the common people, and they were applauded, and the name of the Ghost King and Princess became even louder among the common people.

In the capital, Zhang Shangshu received a secret letter from Duchang City as soon as he finished the morning court. There were only a few words on it: "The third son surrendered to the enemy, betrayed the second son, and the second son was arrested for bombing the embankment."

Zhang Shangshu was so angry that he scolded "Nizi" at first, but after thinking about it, he broke out in a cold sweat.Explode the embankment?This is not a trivial matter, why did he come to this point, no one told him beforehand, the eldest princess can punish his Zhang family's crimes only by this point.The eldest princess's methods are obvious to all. Liu Xiang's party is not in her hands, so can the Zhang family escape?
Zhang Shangshu thought about it for more than an hour, and the more he thought about it, the more he sweated. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed that the Zhang family had no way to survive. However, he was not the only one who benefited, and Yu Shangshu did not take less money. We should discuss this matter with Yu Shangshu Just a moment.

In the study of Yu's family, Yu Shangshu was also reading the secret letter, but his letter was much more detailed than Zhang Shangshu's.Ever since Bai Ziyu left, he felt that something was wrong, and sent someone to keep an eye on it, and when Yun Yuhong also left the capital to rush over, he felt that something was going to happen.

For Yun Yuhong, Yu Shangshu has an indescribable fear. Of course, it is not only because of the ghost king army stationed not far outside the city, but also because of the tough and domineering Yun Yuhong displayed, but because since Yun Yuhong appeared, Yu The family began to go downhill. In just one year, the wealth of the Yu family had shrunk by half, and all of this was more or less the shadow of clouds, rains and rainbows.

First of all, in his eyes, Li Ziqiao is a dandy, a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but the fact is that this young man has managed the shop he got from him in a very good way, and first established himself in the name of his Yu family. heels, and then started cannibalizing his business in some towns.By the time he found out that something was wrong and wanted to fight back, most of his business had already been taken care of.He also bribed several officials to find a reason to arrest Li Ziqiao, but all of them returned without success. The news that finally came back was that Li Ziqiao belonged to the King of Ghosts and could not move.

The second thing is that the uncle who lived in Peicheng disappeared, and with his disappearance, his shops in the area of ​​Peicheng managed by his uncle were either emptied out or replaced. Some people took his uncle's seal and resold documents, saying that his uncle sold all these shops. When he found something wrong and went to investigate, everything suddenly disappeared, but more than 30 shops were destined not to come back. And the only thing he could think of was that Yun Yuhong had been to Peicheng during that time.

The third thing is even more strange.After the second prince came back from going out with Yun Yuhong, he was no longer close to his grandfather. He used to be very affectionate when we met, but now he is very cold. I don't know what Yun Yuhong said to the second prince, but this move But it's cruel enough, he pinned the glory and future of the Yu family on the second prince becoming emperor, but if the second prince doesn't kiss him, is there any hope for him?

In the end, the King of Ghosts and Bai Ziyu supported some officials, and some of these officials were in charge of water transportation. In the past, he could not use the official ships that the Yu family used for private use. Only then did he remember the water tanks that he had sold. run to.It's a pity that when he asked about the price, Yu Shangshu gritted his teeth with hatred. Others only charge double, but if he wants to use a boat for his family, he will charge twice, depending on whether he has time to transport it to him. You have to use it for business.He didn't know if Han Yijun had something to do with Yun Yuhong, but he heard that as long as Yun Yuhong wanted to deliver things, they would all be free, so Yu Shangshu had to think about it.

Now, Yun Yuhong has gone to Duchang City again. The second and third sons of the Zhang family are all in Yun Yuhong's hands, and there are still many handles held by Yun Yuhong. Do you want to deal with the Zhang family, or do you want to use this fire to burn down the Yu family?
The young man outside came to report, Zhang Shangshu begged to see him, and Yu Shangshu hurriedly welcomed him in. The two adults looked at each other's frowning faces and sighed. This time, they talked secretly in the study for a full three hours.
