eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Don't Scare Elder Yan Ge

The house that Yan Song borrowed was not small. There were two courtyards and two trees were planted in front of the main house. It was probably that the shopkeeper sent someone to clean it in advance when he borrowed the house. Except for a few fallen pieces on the brown stone road, Leaves, nothing else.

The same is true in each house, all very clean.In addition, there are many books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and even some collections of books.

"This... Mr. Sheng is very particular about people, but I'm afraid it's a waste to live in such a big courtyard by myself."

In fact, the Sheng family is not so much exquisite as it is proficient.

'Investing' these new jinshi, if it's not good, it's better not to send it.

And Yan Song was thinking that he had to go to Nancheng at a suitable time and find some people to order, otherwise it would be inconvenient, just like now, when he knocked on the door outside, he got out of the two trees in front of the study and the hall. Go to the front yard, and then walk seven or eight steps to the left.

"Who are you looking for?"

The outsider replied: "Excuse me, I'm in Xuchang, a person from Fenyi, Jiangxi, looking for Master Huayan in Xinke."

Xu Chang didn't understand, "I didn't hear about it... This happened half a month ago, in the dead of night, Jin Yiwei suddenly came and took him away."

"The minister is here."

……

Oh, that's great.Zhu Houzhao exclaimed in his heart, could it be that Yan Ge was also a righteous and passionate youth when he was young?

"It's a bit smaller. Originally, my father prepared a bigger one."

As long as Xu Chang is not kicked out, he is willing to do whatever he is asked to do, regardless of his dignity and face.

"No!" Xu Chang hurriedly shook his head.

"Then your father won't be taken away because he borrowed money from him three years ago?" Yan Song narrowed his eyes, "You have something to hide from me."

"Brother Xu said that your father is my cousin, and your father's name is taboo..."

He was not polite when he opened the door, "I am Yan Song. There are no young masters here."

The outsiders are still surprised, how can a gatekeeper with such great power, even claiming that he is a relative, dare to make random decisions.

"Madam Yan's real surname is Yan, and her name is Yan Yun."

However, after hearing Mao Yuwen's report, Zhu Houzhao was actually a little more confident about Zhan Xiushan's case of slandering Mei Huaigu and referring to Mei Kejia.

"Language."

Zhu Houzhao was a little confused when he heard Mao Yuwen repeating this sentence.

"Master Yan doesn't know you, so go back."

"This is one aspect. The main thing is that the Zhan family has money. As long as there is an IOU, I am not afraid that he will not pay back the money. If you don't borrow it, you will offend him. Why don't you borrow it? But after 15 years of Hongzhi, there are very few... probably because he became an IOU. Guan'er, if you have money, you don't need these hundreds of taels of silver."

Xu Chang kowtowed his head twice, "Cousin, Master Yan, you are Tanhua Lang, you are a big man who can meet the emperor and his old man. Cousin, I really have no choice. Four days ago, my father was as usual. He was doing the business of the inn honestly, but suddenly a group of officials came and arrested him. He didn’t say anything or ask anything. I’ve spent hundreds of taels of money so far, but I don’t even know why Those who are caught can't ask!"

"You go, I can't help you."

"What is the word?"

"Master Yan may have never seen a person who likes to gamble. If they are addicted, they will borrow money from anyone they can, no matter who they borrow from, as long as they have money."

Yan Song said 'hey', "Okay, then don't talk about it, I don't want to hear it either. Why do you hear about such troublesome things? It's better to hide."

Xu Chang struggled in his heart, but there was no other way for him, so he had to grit his teeth and take a gamble, "... Zhan Xiushan has a few buddies who like to gamble, my father will find them a special place in the backyard of the inn." The place! Hidden from being discovered! So he sometimes borrows money from our family."

He immediately got up from the ground, and even skillfully poured tea for Yan Song.

"Master Yan!" Xu Chang was really anxious, "Please do me a favor, just ask where the gate is."

Yan Song thought that he had never met his grandmother.

The old god Yan Song is here, he mainly wants to understand the situation clearly, don't want everyone to talk to him about the Zhan family, as if he, as a Jiangxi native, got into some big trouble, making it difficult to sleep at night.

"Uncle?"

……

Yan Song didn't fully believe what he said, and while listening to it, he thought, "I'm afraid that you also want to climb other people's high branches, so you are quite willing to borrow."

……

There was no other way, Yan Song had no choice but to personally pull Xu Chang out.It is useless to shed such tears in front of him.

Yan Song hardened his heart, "Let's go!"

"Really? If you lied to me, I will drive you out immediately!"

"Zhan Xiushan used to be unable to get money at home. The Zhan family also knew about his problem, so they always controlled him in terms of money. And..."

"Is this really what Yan Song said?"

"My cousin...is he still in contact with the Zhan family?"

"And what?"

"Then did he do something illegal because of this? So he was arrested?"

Xu Chang touched a nail that was neither hard nor soft, but he could only swallow, "Yes, Master Yan. The younger ones will talk about Zhan Xiushan. But the younger ones also know that Hongzhi 15 years ago, he won the prize. After Jinshi...he seldom interacts with us."

Regardless of Zhan Xiushan's reasons, as long as Jin Yiwei is involved, it will never be a good thing.

"What was your relationship with him?"

Yan Song thought, that is her mother's cousin.He dug deep in the corner of his memory, but only found a little bit of impression.

Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice... no normal person would want to have anything to do with it.

"Master Yan, I said, I said it's not enough!"

If he is Xie Pi.Just to inquire what crime was committed.It was as easy as pie.

"A cousin of a direct relative, you can't fake it! My grandfather and Mr. Yan's grandmother are brothers and sisters born of the same mother!"

"Then do you know my mother's name?"

Xu Chang lay on the ground, refusing to leave desperately, "How about this, Master Yan, don't ask about my father anymore, he is a small man, you should ask why Zhan Xiushan was arrested. He is the master of the household department. You need to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask, maybe you will find out, and my father may also be related to him."

Fuck!
"Since you have indeed committed a crime, then follow the court's law! What's the use of you coming to me? Get out!"

Then he knelt down again, "Master Yan, my father is really your cousin, I beg Master Yan to save my father in this relationship, we are just small business people, even if we want to commit crimes, we don't have the instinct It's a serious matter. If Master Yan can show me mercy and promise me, I won't hide anything."

"Xu Youming."

"Yes."

Xu Chang's heart skipped a beat. After all, he was the master of Jinshi, so it's not easy to lie.

"Cousin bought this yard by himself?"

……

Xu Chang twisted his expression, "Master Yan, this... I can't say nothing about it. We are from Jiangxi, and the Zhan family is also from Jiangxi. We have some business contacts, but Master Zhan Hongzhi won the second-class in 15 years Scholars, after that, our Xu family will not be able to climb the lintel of the Zhan family."

But he is Yan Song, where can he find out.

Yan's father failed the exam, so he naturally began to be ignored.Even the Yan family is drifting away from her natal family.

"Borrow money? Master Zhan asked your father to borrow money?"

This person has a white face and no beard, but he really looks young.Looking at his face, Yan Song also thinks that he should be a person with a clean family background, but this person is too thick-skinned, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all when he sees him. On the contrary, he is in a happier mood than him, as if he has known him for many years.

"That's why you came to me, isn't it?"

Yan Song patted his forehead, he was careless, he shouldn't be let in.

Yan Song thought it was okay if there was nothing serious, so he opened the door.

Logically speaking, if you value him as Tan Hua Lang, why should you come to the door in person?
As a result, at this point, this Xu Chang was not as happy as before, but knelt down with a 'plop', "Cousin, my father has been arrested!"

Yan Song began to feel that something was wrong. Gathering together to gamble, the imperial court would not send Jin Yiwei to arrest people, which meant that there were other reasons for arresting people.And his cousin, who had never met before, and who didn't know the truth, was actually very close to the small group, so this should be the reason for being caught.

Xu Chang had quick eyes and quick hands, "Ah, it turned out to be my cousin. Cousin Xu Chang greeted you."

"It's nothing serious. I only found out that there are relatives in the capital after reading the imperial list. I bought some good duck meat with my father and wanted to present it to Lord Yan."

"Wei Chen knows."

"There's nothing wrong with that. When I was young, I went to visit my aunt with my father."

Zhan Xiushan... Zhan's?
Yan Song suddenly became interested again.

Xu Chang was dumbfounded when he saw it, how could this work?

"You know my intentions, don't you?"

……

He was alone, with no backing, facing the unknown and dangerous court officialdom, he was even a little at a loss.No book he read since he was a child taught him what to do at this time!
"Come in!" Yan Song pointed to Xu Chang, "Tell me everything about Zhan Xiushan!"

The voice outside became anxious, "Master, my father Xu Youming is Master Yan's cousin, please pass it on to Master Yan!"

"Yes!"

"cousin!"

"What kind of a big man is Tanhualang?" Yan Song stood in the courtyard looking up at the lush poplar tree, and Xie Pi's back was in his mind.

"Zhan Xiushan is the third son of the Zhan family in Raozhou. He is the youngest son and the smartest son in the family. The Zhan family is also a well-known prominent family in Raozhou Prefecture. Several generations of the family have been in the cloth business, and the family has a lot of money. In the 15th year of Hongzhi, Zhan Xiushan was awarded the title of the second class, and he was awarded the Guizhou Division Langzhong of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In addition, he also had an elder brother of the same family. When it comes to the Zhan family, it is always the Tongjuan of Ningbo Prefecture that is the biggest, but 15 years after Hongzhi, Zhan Xiushan caught up with him... My father also said privately that it was probably because they were praising that person and ignoring Zhan Xiushan, which caused People are dissatisfied with us..."

Maybe I have seen it, but the intersection should not be deep.Yan Song's mother, Yan's family background is not bad, but his father is average, so his father has to take the imperial examination all his life, but few people can walk across this kind of single-plank bridge.

Yan Song inexplicably felt that it was very dangerous, but he didn't know where the problem was.

"Go look for this Yan Song tonight and tell him to invite that Xu Chang back."

Xu Chang answered honestly, "Zhan Xiushan has two advantages, one is a girl, and the other is gambling. Originally, he would borrow money from my father."

Thinking about it again, he suddenly became annoyed.This Xu Chang didn't know if he was being targeted or not, maybe just let him run around blindly, and anyone he bumped into would be a clue.

"What's the matter with you?"

"You lied to me, saying that you were just here to deliver duck meat. Which family member lied to your family? So don't call me cousin, you will only make me hate you if you talk about relatives. You are called Master Yan."

If he hadn't won Tanhua this time, he would never have such a cousin in this life.In Yan Song's heart, he was a little proud of his success and fame, but he also lamented the cruelty of the world.

"So, you are really my cousin's son."

It sounds like he's rich.

"Pass the decree to order Xie Pi and Tanhua Yan Song to enter the attendant's room!"

However, Yan Song was a little strange, "Where is my cousin?"

"Zi Deshan."

Jiangxi, Jiangxi again.

Xu Chang's answer was so smooth that even Yan Song couldn't doubt it. There was no trace of him thinking.

Yan Song was wary of him, he paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Don't blame him, he is no match for Yan Song when he plays tricks.

"cousin."

"Yes."

"Don't scare him."

Mao Yuwen: "..."

===
