The Yan family, a long-standing wealthy gentry in Jinan City, has a rich background that outsiders can hardly imagine. Even after the Qing army massacred the city in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, they are still one of the few in the city. Such a wealthy family will naturally look for a backer.
The backer of Jinan City was not Prince De's Mansion, but Liu Zeqing, a greedy and powerful warlord with a large number of soldiers. Liu Zeqing made a lot of money from the Yan family over the years, and the Yan family also prospered and even became more domineering.
After all, Jinan's Tian is Liu Zeqing, and the Yan family is a good partner to play with Tian.
So when he met a group of vicious people today who spoke rudely to the Yan family, he didn't take it seriously at all, especially when they mentioned Liu Zeqing. He didn't believe there was anyone else in Jinan City who had a good relationship with Liu Zeqing.
The flag is calling people, so I just choose to ignore it.
It wasn't until late at night that a group of big men smashed the door with a loud bang, and the Yan family knew that something was wrong. When they heard that they were from the General Military Mansion, the head of the family, Yan Cisheng, suddenly felt weak in the legs, and was immediately put into a carriage and taken away.
There are three people in the Yan family who were brought to the General Military Mansion: the head of the family, Yan Cisheng, his fourth son Yan Yunchong, and the coachman Yan Jiuwa.
"Master General, this..." Yan Cisheng saw Liu Zeqing and a young man sitting in the main hall at the door. He felt uneasy and quickly knelt down: "Yan was not strict in discipline and bumped into the noble, but he expected the noble to show his respect.
, let a horse go."
A businessman not only has brains but also has an eye for value. At this time, no matter how stupid Yan Cisheng is, he knows that he can't offend someone he can't afford to offend, not even Liu Zeqing. But who is this person? He is so young that even Liu Zeqing can't offend him.
Face respectful.
Before Yan Cisheng could finish his words, he suddenly saw a figure flash past. Yan Yunchong let out a wail behind him, and was carried in by Wuzhong. He just threw it to the ground like an eagle catching a chicken.
"Look up, do you recognize me?" Chang Yu sneered, Yan Yunchong turned pale with fright, and kowtowed: "The little ones are blind, the common people are blind!"
"Do you still remember what the governor said before he left?" Chang Yu asked again.
Yan Yunchong was so shocked that he was speechless!
"Say!" Chang Yu raised his hand and pointed at the coachman at the door. Yan Jiuwa was so frightened that he peed his pants immediately and kowtowed: "Sir, my lord said, if the Yan family does not come to the door to apologize within an hour, there will be no Yan family in Jinan City tomorrow!
"
Ah Yan Cisheng screamed and almost fainted. He looked at Liu Zeqing and said: "Master Liu, Master Liu, please say something."
"Master Liu has already spoken for you." Chang Yu snorted coldly, stood up and walked to the door, glaring at Yan Jiuwa, the coachman: "The dog is domineering with the help of human power. Thirty palms and twenty sticks will give you a memory."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jiuwa slapped her mouth very wisely, and every stroke was very forceful.
Chang Yu turned around and glanced at Yan Yunchong again: "Although you didn't do anything offensive at the time, you can still see that you are used to being domineering. Even the people under you are so arrogant. Do you accept the thirty-year slap in the face?"
"Take it, take it," Yan Yunchong said and started to smoke.
"As for you," Chang Yu pointed at Yan Cisheng: "As the head of the family, if you don't lead by example, don't restrain your children, and you know that you are causing trouble but you ignore my warning, you think I am a vegetarian!"
"Don't dare, don't dare! Common people don't dare!" Yan Cisheng kowtowed to the ground and begged for mercy!
"I don't care about your bad deeds. I just want to ask you how to solve the problem of hurting my subordinates?" Chang Yu shouted sharply.
"I will punish you as long as you don't confiscate your family and destroy your ancestors." I have to say that Yan Cisheng is an old man. He knows that Liu Zeqing intercedes, and with this matter, he will not confiscate his family and destroy his ancestors, but he still has to say this.
For your sake, it is obvious that they are looking for trouble. You have to keep your posture to the lowest level and give the most face to others in order to extinguish the fire.
As expected, Chang Yu was very helpful. He snorted and returned to his seat. At this time, Yan Yunchong also finished palming his mouth, which was swollen like a pig's intestines. Liu Zeqing stood up, sighed, walked to the door and said to Yan Cisheng: "I'll prepare one hundred thousand taels of silver tomorrow, ten thousand taels of silver."
Send the grain and stone to the General Military Mansion."
Ah! Yan Cisheng was startled, and said in a low voice with a grimace: "Master Liu, we can scrape together ten thousand shi of food, but these one hundred thousand taels of silver... this is going to bankrupt my Yan family!"
"Old Yan, I can only help you so much. Your fourth son has offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and you deserve this disaster for your Yan family..." He patted Yan Cisheng on the shoulder and said, "It's a waste of money."
Disaster, listen to me, you can still make money after passing this hurdle, and you don’t have to cry to me for being poor, this little money can’t hurt your Yan family at all..."
"What's wrong? Are you going to go back on your promise to accept the punishment? Is it too much or too little?" Chang Yu yelled impatiently, and Yan Ci trembled at the door: "Accept the punishment, accept the punishment, just the number the adults said, little
I’ve even collected all the money I’ve lost for you.”
Chang Yu snorted and stood up to leave. Wu Zhong followed behind and murmured: "This is a good idea. Tomorrow we will go to Jinan City to find the rich households one by one and we can do it."
Chang Yu staggered: "It's a good idea to kill him, but how are we different from thieves?"
As soon as Chang Yu left, the pressure in the lobby suddenly disappeared. Liu Zeqing helped Yan Cisheng into the room and sat down. He angrily yelled at Yan Yunchong, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Get out!"
"Mr. Liu, who is that young man? Why is he so powerful? I can't breathe. I feel like I'm going to kill someone. It really scares me."
Huh, Liu Zeqing smiled bitterly: "That's not official power, that's aura. I can't reveal this person's identity, but he is indeed a murderous demon king. I can only say that if you offend him, it will be bad luck for the Yan family. Don't say anything if you offend him."
There is no one left to resist in Jinan Prefecture, that is, the whole of Shandong... That’s all. I’m telling you what to do. Go back and prepare early. I’ll tell you in detail when I’m not busy in a few days.”
When Yan Cisheng and his son left the General Military Mansion, they felt like they were suddenly out of the world. Yan Yunchong couldn't help but shuddered and said in a low voice: "Dad, could this be Liu Zeqing's plan to trick our family?"
Yan Cisheng shook his head: "No, there is no need for him to do this." He sighed and said, "Our Yan family deserves this disaster. We will lose money to avoid disaster and buy a memory."
Many people had insomnia that night, but Chang Yu slept soundly and soundly, and even smiled.
Not only did he sleep soundly, but he also slept for a long time. He who usually got up early to run and practice boxing in the morning actually slept until midnight, which surprised Wu Zhong and others.
The General Military Mansion was very busy, and Liu Zeqing was also very busy. Not only did he have to prepare millions of dollars in salary for Chang Yu, but he also had to open warehouses for disaster relief and set up porridge sheds outside Jinan city.
The people of Jinan City were also upset, especially those refugees who came from afar and were dying. Jinan City opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, and there were two families.
One is the General Military Mansion and the other is Prince De's Mansion.
Hey, the sun is rising from the west. One of these two people is greedy and the other is stingy. How come they changed their personalities and suddenly opened a warehouse to provide disaster relief on the same day... Who cares, just eat some.
Prince De's Mansion was even busier. Zhu Youli's eyes were red all night, but he was in high spirits. He, Chang Shi, the housekeeper, and others were busy, opening warehouses, loading trucks, and providing disaster relief.
It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly. Zhu Youli was drinking water in the main hall to relieve the heat. The servants announced that the young eunuch was coming, and Zhu Youli hurriedly got up to greet him.
It's still the same few people, but there are more than a dozen large trucks. This is a deposit of 200,000 taels obtained from the General Military Mansion.
"Eunuch Chang is really efficient at work. Doing business with you is just a pleasure!" Zhu Youli praised, welcomed Chang Yu into the hall, and made tea: "The best Longjing, the best Jinan spring water, entertain the best
Good guest".
"Hey, why haven't we seen you all night? The prince is so polite, our family is a little restless." Chang Yu laughed, but Zhu Youli said seriously: "I am not pretending to be polite, every word is from the bottom of my heart, Eunuch Chang said
I am sincerely grateful to you for your support overtly and covertly."
Chang Yu felt guilty after hearing this, but he waved his hand as if nothing had happened: "It's just a little effort, win-win cooperation, the prince doesn't need to be so polite, our family is just compensating the palace for the court. You know, the court is now...
…”
Zhu Youjue nodded: "I understand that natural disasters and military disasters continue one after another, and the court is also in trouble! However, I am still grateful to Eunuch Chang for what he has done. You are my friend, Zhu Youjue."
"I'm flattered, I'm flattered. I'm favored by the prince, and our family is flattered." Chang Yu sighed inwardly. When he scolds me back, he must be gentle, he must be gentle!
