"On what grounds?"

Zhang Guoyan, Marquis of Longping, shook his head, they didn't pay the money to ransom people back, there was no reason to stop other families from ransom people.

Zhao Shixin also knew this reason, but he had no choice but to say hatefully: "Luo Zhongbo and Ning Jinbo are really true, how can they send people out of the city without talking to Guogong, there is no Guogong in their eyes!" What I said on weekdays is good, our families in the southern capital advance and retreat together, which is good, but they flew first! …”

The more Xin Chengbo thought about it, the more angry he became, chattering there.

Wujin Bo Zhu Shien smiled bitterly, persuaded Xin Chengbo to say a few words, and then said: "I heard that the first to go out of the city were Pingjiang Bo and An Chengbo. ”

"Uncle Pingjiang is really a set of words and a set of hearts, wasn't he the most fierce person who yelled with Marquis An Yuan that day, and did he still have to transfer the soldiers from Zhongdu, how could he be the first to go out of the city to pay the money?"

Zhao Shixin said angrily, Ancheng Bo Zhang Guocai fell, this guy has always been timid and afraid, and it is understandable to secretly go out of the city to spend money to eliminate disasters, but Pingjiang Bo Chen Zhi'an is not authentic.

If it weren't for Chen Zhi'an and An Yuanhou who jumped out and refused to give money that day, advocating that they continue to fight with Wei Eunuch, this matter would not have been what it is today.

Zhang Guoyan, Marquis of Longping, glanced at Zhao Shixin and didn't speak, this matter is to blame, it is really not to blame Marquis Anyuan, but to blame this Uncle Xincheng.

Originally, Pan Binlong, the prefect of Yingtian, was asked to go to Liyang to talk, and the price was about the same, and the two sides were about the same, and they were going to give 400,000 taels here, and the Wei eunuch wanted 750,000 taels, and the error between the two sides was 350,000 taels.

350,000 taels is more, but it can be pulled back and forth, and each family will pay some, and some of the four families will be taken captive, and the matter can be settled.

But Zhao Shixin made a difference, saying that he asked Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, to intervene and transfer the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Patrol Battalion to monitor the Wei eunuchs outside the city, and said that it was a big deal to poke the matter away to see what he Wei eunuch relied on.

Don't say anything else, a charge of privately withholding a lord is enough for him Wei Gelding to drink a pot. At that time, even if the Holy One knows, can he still let a house slave ride on the head of the lord!

Under the instruction of this Xin Chengbo, Pan Binlong's attitude became tougher at this time, insisting on giving 400,000 taels and not more than a dime, which ended up annoying Wei Gelding and causing the negotiations to break down completely.

It's just that there is no way to mention these things, and now the twenty-eight families are divided, each doing its own thing, and if a few of them quarrel again, this matter will end even more legally.

Eunuch Wei now also hopes that they will engage in infighting, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. This point Long Pinghou saw very accurately, he knew that Wei Eunuch's troubles were to make them twenty-eight families unable to form a group, so as to give him the opportunity to blackmail one by one.

"Guogong, you have to be the master of this matter, do you send someone to say hello to each family and ask them to come over to discuss?" Wu Jinbo Zhu Shien saw Wei Guogong sitting silently, thinking that it was not a way, it was almost evening, and he couldn't come up with a charter today, and tomorrow the Wei eunuch would blow up the wall and come in.

Zhao Shixin nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, Guogong, if you send a message, I want to see which others dare to go out of the city again!" ”

Wei Guogong waved his hand weakly: "Let them go." ”

Grandpa Guo was haggard, and the few families that went out of the city annoyed him, and the women guarding the house made him even more annoyed.

Zhao Shixin was anxious: "If this is not stopped, there will be few left in the end?" ”

Xin Chengbo's extraneous meaning was heard by several people present.

Twenty-eight families don't give money, everyone is a group, not alone, there is always room for it. But if the rest of the families are allowed to run and pay the money, then I am afraid that in the end, they will be the only ones left.

At that time, it will be weak.

Eunuch Wei really dared to lead troops into the city, what did these few families do?

Wei Guogong was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked his in-laws Zhang Guoyan: "Did Marquis An Yuan send someone out of the city?" ”

Zhang Guoyan shook his head and said that Liu Zuochang did not send people out of the city, but only Pingjiang Bochen went to Zhi'an.

"You send someone to keep an eye on An Yuanhou and them, and the old man will go to the inner garrison hall."

After Wei Guogong finished speaking, he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, and the only turning point at this moment was to use the internal guard Liu Chao to exert pressure. He Wei Guogong personally went to beg Liu Chaoyong, and Liu Chaoyong couldn't really give no face at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Shixin and Zhang Guoyan also said that the two of them went to the military department. If Wei Guogong can say that Liu Chaoyong can be used, and then there is the support of Nanjing's own soldiers, then he is really not afraid that Wei Gelding will dare to mess around.

……..

Pingjiang Bofu.

"Pay 30,000 taels more? Why is he! Shameless eunuch, untrustworthy! ”

Pingjiang Bo Chen Zhi'an listened to what the steward said, and he was so angry that he almost fainted, what kind of bullshit friendly deposit, it was clearly Wei Gelding sitting on the ground and wanting to scrape him Pingjiang Bo.

The steward persuaded: "Uncle, Uncle Luo Zhong, they have all gone to hand it over, there are already nine families out of the city, is the uncle going to discuss with Wei Guogong?" ”

Chen Zhi'an was embarrassed to go to Wei Guogong and them, he was standing on the side of An Yuanhou that day.

After thinking about it, I could only go to An Yuanhou to discuss it again.

The Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, Marquis Liu was also annoyed.

"What do you mean that we have deceived them? … In the end, it was someone else who instigated this? "Liu Zuochang is not angry, according to Wei Biao's words, he has become a small person with ulterior motives!

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, this matter was made by him Wei Guogong and Lingbi Hou, what does it matter to me Liu! He Wei Gelding wants to find someone to settle accounts, find them, what is it to stare at Benhou! ”

Liu Zuochang scolded in the hall, and the frightened stewards didn't dare to squeak.

"Chen Zhi'an is not a thing, one set on the face and one in the mouth, now it's good, the hot face goes to stick to other people's cold butts, and people ignore him, it's really a shame to throw him home..."

"Master Hou, it's crazy outside, saying that Eunuch Wei named and said that our Anyuan Marquis Mansion is the culprit, and he is really going to enter the city and be the first one to copy our Hou Mansion." Mrs. An Yuan Hou is more anxious than her husband, and such a big family business in the Hou Mansion is going to be copied by Eunuch Wei, so it will be repaid.

"Women, what nonsense! Ben Hou did not rebel, he Wei Eunuch dared to copy Ben Hou's home! ”

Hou Ye said so, but he was still a little panicked in his heart.

That Wei Gelding is not an ordinary eunuch, he is a eunuch who dares to treat the two marquis and the two uncles as meat tickets.

"You said that you are too, be your Marquis of An Yuan, how can you make trouble with the people in the palace. Those eunuchs are the house slaves of the saint, and the lawsuit is in front of the emperor, you say that the saint believes in us, or believes in the eunuchs..."Mrs. An Yuanhou couldn't stop complaining.

Liu Houye was upset when he heard this, waved his hand angrily, and reprimanded: "Okay, don't say a few words, go to the back." ”

"I don't say it, I don't say it, our Hou Mansion is really going to ask someone to copy it, I see what you say!"

As soon as the lady left, the porter came to report that Pingjiangbo was coming.

"He Chen Zhi'an still has the face to come to see me! Isn't he okay, what, this is going to be a joke for me? ”

Having said that, Marquis Liu still asked someone to invite Uncle Pingjiang over.

………

Outside the gate of Shangfang, the camp of the Ming Imperial Army is very lively.

Since An Chengbo, several more lords have come to pay the money, and their attitudes are very good.

Linhuai Marquis Mansion 14,000 taels;

17,000 taels of Huaining Hou's Mansion;

Yongchang Marquis Mansion two two four thousand taels;

Daxingbo Mansion 9,800 taels;

Uncle Ning Jin 15,600 taels......

A total of nine families paid a total of 136,500 taels, deducting 20% of the rebate, and Gonggong Wei has received a net income of more than 101,000 taels.

"These are good comrades."

Gonggong Wei collectively met with the representatives of these good comrades, repeated what he had said to Ancheng Bofu, and then ordered someone to go through the formalities for them.
