Yang Ning widened his eyes. He thought the boy was just talking casually. Seeing that he was really going to take off his pants, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Your grandfather is the Minister of Rites. Taking off his pants in the hall is a humiliating kindness. This is going to be spread. The next time your butt will be left with more than just scars."
When Yuan Rong heard Yang Ning finally speak, he tidied up his clothes, smiled on his face, and came forward, saying, "I knew my brother would definitely not misunderstand me."
"Are you my righteous brother?" Yang Ning stared at Yuan Rong.
Yuan Rong thought Yang Ning was mocking him, and thought in his heart that this guy who had been a little slow in his past knew how to mock him now. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother is still blaming him as a brother? Alas, no wonder you are unhappy in your heart. I have never come to help me, it is indeed mine."
Yang Ning thought that there was no real relationship between such playboys. It was nothing more than drinking and eating friends, and occasionally using each other's resources.
When Marquis of Jinyi passed away, there were many princes, nobles, high officials and important officials who were alienated during the mourning period. Yang Ning was actually not very angry. After all, human nature is like this, there is no need to blame him too much.
"What's the matter with me?" Yang Ning asked lightly.
Yuan Rong smiled and said, "Brother, do you know how many new pleasure boats have been added to the Qinhuai River recently?"
"What do you have to do with me?" Yang Ning was calm and composed. "Brother Yuan likes to enjoy the wind and moon, so you can go and experience it."
Yuan Rong was stunned, and felt that Yang Ning was strange everywhere today, which was very different from the prince of Jinyi who he was once familiar with. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother used to like to travel on boats. I wanted to come over and say hello and ask me to go out for a break. It turns out...!"
"Brother Yuan, my father just passed away. You are now starting to mention these love and love to me. Don't you think it's not the right time?" Yang Ning said angrily: "The requiem ritual in the mansion has not been completed yet. If I go out to take a boat to play at this time, will I still have humanity?"
Yuan Rong was stunned, then slapped his forehead and said with annoyance: "Blame me, blame me, it's a bad thing for my brother. I'm really confused. Brother, don't be averse to me, I have no bad intentions. I just think that my brother was kidnapped and frightened, and I'm too tired to hold funerals these days, so I want to take my brother to relax."
"Let's talk about it later." Yang Ning stood up and said, "If you have nothing else, I'll do something else first."
Yuan Rong hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, saying, "Brother, don't be anxious."
"There's something else?"
"There are some trivial matters." Yuan Rong smiled and said, "Brother sit down and talk first."
After sitting down, Yang Ning asked, "Seeds? What kind of sesame thing should you come to the door to talk about?"
"This...!" Yuan Rong took out a paper fan from his arms, shook his left hand and opened the folding fan, "Did you meet an assassin in Zhongling Villa?" After saying that, he gently shook the folding fan and said that he was elegant.
Yang Ning thought to himself that it was October and the weather was getting colder. You were still wearing a folding fan and not afraid of death from the cold.
"So you know this?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, "I heard that although Zhongling Villa is a royal villa, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. The Lord Yuan of your family is the Minister of Rites...!" His eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think the assassination of the villa has something to do with your family?"
Yuan Rong's face changed drastically, he jumped up from the chair and said in horror: "You can't say this nonsense. Brother, our old Yuan family really can't afford you."
"I almost died there, do you know?" Yang Ning sneered: "If you can't afford it, you can bear it first. Before the real murderer was found, I can only find the yamen in charge of the other courtyard, that is, the Ministry of Rites. After all, it is your Yuan family."
Yuan Rong said in a crying voice: "Brother, you don't say that in your mansion, right? You don't really think it was an assassin sent by our old Yuan family, do you?"
"Everything is under investigation. Before it is found out, everyone is suspicious." Yang Ning said lightly: "Tell me, what's going on with the sesame thing you are talking about?"
Yuan Rong's forehead was sweating, and the folding fan accelerated. "Brother, I, Yuan Rong, guaranteed by my character. Our Yuan family really knew nothing about the assassin. And you also know that our Yuan family and your Qi family have always been close friends. Don't forget that your father was my grandfather who taught poetry and essays, and you and my family were family friends."
"Oh?" Yang Ning thought to himself that the Jinyi Hou Mansion and the Yuan family had such a relationship.
Seeing that Yang Ning looked bad, Yuan Rong smiled bitterly and said, "I'll tell you the truth. Manager Wu from Zhongling Villa is the nephew of his mother's second uncle. This time you were assassinated in the villa. He was frightened afterwards and finally found his mother. Then his mother begged his grandfather and the old man to come forward and try to make the matter worse."
"Oh?" Yang Ning smiled faintly, "After all, you are here today to plead for Manager Wu?"
"I'm here today, of course, to see you." Yuan Rong said immediately, "When talking about this, it's just by the way." He leaned over here and whispered, "Then Manager Wu will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites as the head of the Ministry of Rites in another year, which can be considered as the end of the end, but who knew that at this time, except for such a mess." He shook his head and sighed, "Of course my grandfather wouldn't find your mansion for this matter. My mother knew that I was a friend of life and death with you, so... so let me come over and talk."
Yang Ning touched his chin and said, "So that's it."
"Brother, my brother rarely asks you for your business." Yuan Rong said awesomely: "But this time my mother said it was amazing, and she said that if I were really a brother who was close to you, there would be nothing that could not be done. I think about the friendship between us and life should not be a problem."
"Young Master Yuan, you said it lightly. Do you know that because of those people's negligence, I almost didn't even have a life." Yang Ning said coldly: "You are here for a few words now, just want to make this matter resolved? Is this a joke about my life?"
"Don't worry." Yuan Rong heard that Yang Ning's words were loose, and whispered: "It is not easy for Manager Wu to get to this day step by step. In order to get to the head of the Ministry of Rites, he volunteered to go to the other courtyard two years ago. It was still a year away that he could join the Ministry of Rites as the head of the Ministry of Rites. What would it be if the future of this matter was ruined at this time? So...!" He looked around and then approached Yang Ning's ear and lowered his voice: "As long as your Jinyi Marquis' Mansion does not hand over the memorial and downplayed the matter, the other end of the Ministry of Rites will take some effort to make this matter smaller, Manager Wu and the guards will not be punished too severely. Of course, they are all willing to shock you."
"Shocking?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "What does this mean?"
Yuan Rong smiled and said, "They are willing to take out some money as compensation for your frightenedness. Brother, what do you think?"
"Do you want to bribe me?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong who was close to him, "Don't you know that since my grandfather, there has been a rule in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, no...!"
"I know, I know." Before Yang Ning finished speaking, Yuan Rong smiled and said, "No money-related dealings with other officials."
"Since you know, why do you still come up with this bad idea?" Yang Ning was calm and thought to himself that he didn't know how much money the people of Manager Wu could pay.
Yuan Rong said seriously: "Brothers misunderstood. They are not bribing you, but thanking you for saving your life. It is said that the assassin is very good at martial arts. If it weren't for you, the guards of the other courtyards would suffer. Since the assassin killed the guards of the other courtyards, he would definitely kill Manager Wu and also kill Manager Wu. So you are the life-saving benefactor of all of them. Your rules for managing the family and dealing with the world will repay the debt. Since they owe your brothers, they will naturally have to repay it."
Yang Ning opened his eyes wide, and Yuan Rong was talking nonsense seriously, which was amazing.
Yuan Rong smiled and leaned closer and whispered: "And as long as you agree, I will transfer the silver from it, and no one will know it."
"You must repay if you have debts..." Yang Ning nodded slightly, "Our Qi family does have such rules." He slanted his body slightly, "Manager Wu and others understand the rules of our Qi family?"
Yuan Rong thought to himself that the prince in Jinyi hadn't seen him for a few days, but he seemed to have become a different person. Not only did he have no dullness, but he also acted smartly and capable, and he was also clever and smart. He was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He understood Yang Ning's meaning, stretched out a hand, first raised five fingers, then put down two, and said, "They are willing to take out this number." He added: "Three hundred taels!"
"Our Jinyi Marquis' Mansion is honest for several generations." Yang Ning said coldly: "Since the old Marquis said that he would not have any money dealings with any official, I naturally adhere to this rule, come and prepare to see off guests..."
"Five hundred taels!" Yuan Rong raised five fingers and sighed: "They are willing to take out five hundred taels!"
"Where is the person?" Yang Ning looked out, "Young Master Yuan is leaving and see off the guests!"
Yuan Rong's eyes twitched and his hands stretched out: "Five hundred taels were given by Manager Wu, and the other guards raised a hundred taels of silver...~!"
Yang Ning said lightly: "My father fought on the battlefield, but he gave him rewards to his subordinates. Our family has never been interested in silver and money... Master Yuan, do you know that I don't care about the amount of silver, but I must defend the dignity of Marquis Jinyi."
"One thousand taels!" Yuan Rong gritted his teeth and said, "There is only so much. Think about it, he is just a small courtyard manager. How much oil can he have? It is not easy for these people to raise 1,000 taels of silver. You can buy a best pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River. You can only sleep with the most beautiful boat owner for a day. The ordinary ones have to be half-deductible. You can buy a good yard in Beijing for three or four hundred taels of silver. Don't be too tempted."
Yang Ning looked up and down at Yuan Rong and smiled, "They can only take out so much?"
"It's only so much." Yuan Rong's face was not good either. "No matter what, you have to give me one of these thousand taels of silver, otherwise I can't get any benefits if I spend most of the day." He picked up the teacup, drank half a cup in one gulp, and pointed at Yang Ning, "I really didn't see that you are very dark."
Yang Ning knew in his heart that one thousand taels of silver was actually not a small amount, and the assassination had already happened. Of course, it was impossible for the real culprit behind the scenes to be the one who was the one who was the one who was in charge of the crime. Even if the court punished them greatly, it would not do any good for him. Instead, this not only gave the money, but also gave Yuan Rong a favor.
"Don't worry, you can accompany me to a place." Yang Ning stood up, "As long as you cooperate well, I will give you face if you are busy today."
