Chapter 72 Ransom

The breeze blows.

Birds sing on the branches.

Days like this cannot help but make people feel comfortable.

Du He stood up, rubbed his numb legs, and said with emotion: "I can't change these days for a god."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu suddenly jumped from the wall and arrived in front of Du He.

Du He was a little surprised and said: "With your ability, if you sign up for the sports meeting, you will definitely be the champion of the high jump group!"

Lu Bu looked confused and had no idea about sports such as high jumping.

Just listen to him cupping his fists and saying: "Master, there are troublemakers outside again. The housekeeper is negotiating with them. Do you want me to take action and break their legs and throw them all out?"

This guy has always been rough in his behavior.

Du He asked curiously: "Who is here? Are those scholars here to cause trouble again?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "It's not those scholars, it's an old man who claims to be the secretary and young prisoner. His name is Yan Shigu."

"Oh, it seems that this old man is here to see his grandson. Let's go and meet him. Don't shout and kill him all day long. We are civilized people and we convince people with reason. Do you understand?" Du He educated him earnestly.

road.

Lu Bu thought for a while and shook his head: "I still don't understand!"

Du He: "..."

The elm head is indescribable!

When Du He arrived at the gate of Laiguo's mansion, Yan Shigu and Deng Chaoping were about to force their way in.

It turned out that the old housekeeper knew that Yan Shigu's grandson Yan Wentian worked in the furniture factory, and was worried about causing trouble, so he blocked him from entering. Yan Shigu, on the other hand, was really worried about his grandson's safety, so he wanted to break in.

Seeing this, Du He stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said: "Master Yan, after all you are also an official of the imperial court, a person of honor, and a famous Confucian scholar. How come you don't even understand this rule, and you do it without the master's permission?"

Now, it seems inconsistent with etiquette to break in at will, right?"

Yan Shigu blushed, turned to Du He and said, "Master Du, tell me, is my little grandson Wen Tian living in your house?"

Du He nodded: "Yes, Yan Wentian is in my house."

"Master Du," Yan Shigu's anxious mood finally calmed down, as if a huge stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart, "In this case, I feel relieved. I have heard about this matter. My grandson is still young.

I don’t know how to advance or retreat. If I have offended Mr. Du, please be magnanimous and let him go. Wen Tian is frail and sick, and if you keep him locked up like this, something might happen..."

Hearing this, Du He couldn't laugh or cry: "Sir, Mr. Yan, this is not a prison or a hell, and I have no right to detain your grandson. Yan Wentian is very healthy now. If you want to see him, please come with me."

"So, thank you very much." Yan Shigu glanced at Du He and said with some surprise.

There are rumors in Chang'an City that Du He is now a major danger to Chang'an City, directly surpassing Chang Sun Chong and other three dangers of Chang'an.

But seeing it with his own eyes, Yan Shigu discovered that Du He was not a rude and rough person, but on the contrary, he was well-founded and polite.

With that said, Du He came forward, and Yan Shigu and Deng Chaoping both walked in.

The old man hurriedly ran forward, leaned into Du He's ear, and whispered: "Master, if Master Yan knows that his grandson works in a furniture factory, why don't you fall out with us!"

Du He waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we haven't done anything illegal or disciplinary, so why should we feel guilty?"

After a while, everyone arrived at the furniture factory.

As soon as you walk into the door of the furniture factory, you will see a busy scene in front of you.

People here can even walk several times faster than ordinary people.

Various sounds of wood being processed could be heard from various rooms, as well as the sounds of clanking and banging.

Yan Shigu had known for a long time that Du He had opened a furniture factory, but now it was the first time he saw it.

This is very different from the craftsman's shop in his impression. The biggest feeling is that the pace here is much faster and more lively.

At this moment, Yan Shigu suddenly spotted a familiar figure from behind in the corner of the yard.

Isn't that short figure none other than his grandson Yan Wentian?

From a distance, Yan Shigu saw Yan Wentian holding two revolving wooden chair backrests in his hands and walking quickly towards a room. His white face was covered with sweat, and his steps were staggering, as if he was going to die at any moment.

Like falling down.

"Oh, my precious grandson..."

Yan Shigu shouted in distress and rushed forward.

As soon as Yan Shigu went up, he snatched the two wooden chair backs from Yan Wentian's hands. He found that these two items were very heavy, even adults had trouble picking them up, but his precious grandson actually carried two pieces at one time.

When Yan Wentian saw Yan Shigu, he was stunned.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Yan Wentian asked curiously.

Yan Shigu lovingly took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat and sawdust from his grandson's face, and said distressedly: "Grandpa is here to take you home. You said that you don't study well, and you insist on following those reckless scholars to deal with Du.

He, aren't you asking for trouble? Did Du He force you to do this? It's really too much."

With that said, Yan Shigu led Yan Wentian to Du He and said with an unhappy expression: "Du He, although my grandson has made mistakes, don't you feel guilty for bullying a child like this?"

Seeing that Yan Shigu was about to call for punishment, Du He turned his head and ordered: "Old master, tell him what's going on!"

The old man simply expressed his love for Du He's rescue of Yan Wentian, and highlighted the fact that Yan Wentian owed Du He 500 yuan.

Even if Yan Wentian's salary today is 10 cents, he still owes 490 cents.

Yan Shigu heard this and said angrily: "What kind of medicine can be worth 500 wen? This is the first time I have heard of it."

Du He said with a smile: "Just because you haven't heard it, it doesn't mean you haven't heard it. The Queen took my medicine and the headaches she suffered for many years were cured. If Master Yan doesn't believe it, you can go to His Majesty for confirmation."

Yan Wentian was stunned.

He heard that the queen had been suffering from headaches for several years, and even medicine king Sun Simiao was unable to do anything about it, but was later cured by a fairy medicine donated by Du Hejin.

This must be true.

But he was not sure whether his grandson Yan Wentian was true or false.

But there was nothing he could do now. He was at the furniture factory. He guessed that with Du He's temper, if he didn't give an explanation today, he probably wouldn't be able to take him away.

So Yan Shigu asked: "Du He, how can you release him?"

Du He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of counting money that no one could understand: "It's very simple, pay the money and let him go."

Although Yan Shigu was unwilling, he had to bow his head under the eaves. Although he was a secretary and a young prisoner, he lacked support in the court. Coupled with his own personality, he did not want to make the matter a big deal.

"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the ransom to your house later. It's 500 cents, not a penny less." Yan Shigu said helplessly.

Although the 500 coins was not much, it represented Yan Shigu's submission to Du He.

Then, Yan Shigu took Yan Wentian and quickly left the furniture factory with Deng Chaoping.
