Nightfall!
Shen Family, Baifu Hall, it’s very lively here tonight.
Many merchants and officials from Fen City came to attend the banquet held by Shen Huaishan. Firstly, they gave Shen Huaishan face, and secondly, they also came for Yuan Ke.
Now, they all know that Han Sui, who assassinated Bingzhou, was defeated and committed suicide, and they also understand that Yuan Ke has become the winner.
They were all very afraid of Yuan Ke's power. Even though they were extremely resentful towards Yuan Ke, the national traitor who had harmed the emperor, they had to bow their heads at this time.
About seven o'clock.
A group of soldiers and horses came to escort Yuan Ke and Diao Chan.
This trip was personally escorted by Cheng Yaojin.
Two thousand soldiers and horses put the Shen family under martial law inside and outside.
After the assassination incident in Banyue Lake, Yuan Ke became more and more cautious.
He understood that his identity was different.
I don’t know how many people secretly want to kill him.
"Da Sima is here!"
After hearing this, Shen Huaishan immediately stepped forward to greet him, smiling as he walked.
Da Sima, Yuan Ke, is now the most powerful young man in the Han Dynasty.
Some people may look down upon Yuan Ke's "youngness", but he will not make such a mistake.
"Grassman Shen Huaishan pays homage to Da Sima!"
He was extremely humble.
"Mr. Shen, no courtesy!"
Yuan Ke waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, sir!"
Afterwards, Shen Huaishan personally introduced Yuan Ke into the lobby.
"Sir, please take your seats."
As soon as they entered the lobby, about a hundred people immediately stood up.
They were still slandering Yuan Ke just now, but when faced with Yuan Ke and the soldiers led by Cheng Yaojin, they all gave up.
After that, everyone saluted Yuan Ke falsely.
"Great Sima Wanfu Jin'an!"
Without even raising his head, Yuan Ke took Diao Chan's hand and came to the chief's seat.
Afterwards, the two sat down.
"Everyone, sit down!"
As soon as they sat down, Yuan Ke just waved his hand for everyone to sit down.
He likes this kind of situation where everyone responds to everything.
After that, he chatted with Diao Chan again and never took Shen Huaishan and others seriously.
"hehe--"
"Come here, let's have a dinner!"
"Sing opera!"
Shen Huaishan's old face was a little embarrassed, but he was also an old man in the world, and he was very rich, so he immediately raised his hand to let the underlings open the banquet, serve the food, and let the troupe sing.
"yes!"
Tonight’s feast is quite sumptuous, including fish, meat, and roasted lamb. At the same time, there is also a Bingzhou specialty—[Wan Tu], which is a well-known local snack.
"Sir, I'll give you a toast!"
Shen Huaishan stood up and then raised his glass to toast Yuan Ke.
"good!"
Yuan Ke did not take away Shen Huaishan's face.
Raise your glass and drink with it.
After that, he continued to talk and laugh with Diao Chan.
"Diao Chan, come and eat a prawn."
Shen Huaishan greeted everyone to start eating.
"..."
He was also curious about what kind of medicine Yuan Ke was selling in this gourd.
Not long after, after drinking for three rounds, Yuan Ke just said something to Cheng Yaojin intentionally or unintentionally.
"Have you eaten?"
he asks.
"As far as the Lord is concerned, no."
Cheng Yaojin returned.
"What? You haven't eaten yet? Why, didn't Master Shen prepare food for you?"
Yuan Ke continued to speak.
After that, he looked at Shen Huaishan with an innocent and questioning look.
"Master Shen, what do you think about this matter?"
he asks.
"ah--"
"Well, Da Sima, don't get me wrong. It was all due to my negligence. I will make arrangements for you brothers immediately."
"immediately!"
When Shen Huaishan heard this, he immediately called the steward of the mansion and asked him to go and have meals for the accompanying soldiers.
"Uncle Rong, hurry up and let the kitchen continue to light the fire to make food."
he said.
"Master, we don't seem to have enough food in our house. We need to purchase it, but I'm afraid it will delay a lot of time."
"look--"
Steward Rong Bo said awkwardly.
"Well, I..."
Shen Huaishan didn't know what to do.
Because it's true.
After purchasing at this time, start making it again. Also, the troops Yuan Ke brought this time were at least 2,000. Cooking and cooking was also a problem. He was really worried.
"Da Sima, do you think this is happening?"
He bit the bullet and asked Yuan Ke for instructions.
"Cheng Yaojin, tell the brothers that I, Yuan Ke, can't stand them and let them starve."
Yuan Ke continued to act.
"..."
Diao Chan also looked puzzled.
I don’t understand what my husband is doing either.
After that, Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and said: "Lord, my brothers have been hungry all day, and now they are all hungry. I will boldly remind them that if they don't have enough to eat, I'm afraid they will cause trouble, rob, and kill. It’s possible to steal things.”
"What? He, they are rebelling? If they don't eat a ton of food, they will kill people and cause trouble? Is there any royal law?"
"Let them starve today. I don't believe that they will loot the Shen Mansion."
Yuan Ke said pretending to be dissatisfied.
"What? Robbery? Steal things? And kill people..."
"Plundering Shen's Mansion?"
Shen Huaishan, who has always been as cunning as a fox, finally understood what Yuan Ke was trying to do, and he had to admit that Yuan Ke's move was really vicious.
This and that are for a ton of rice, obviously here to catch the autumn wind.
treacherous!
However, he did not dare to expose the matter because his small arms could not twist the other person's thigh. After that, he raised his hand and said to Yuan Ke: "Da Sima, this, I did not greet you well today and made all the brothers hungry. "
"I am willing to compensate."
"I, in order to express my apology, I am willing to donate money and materials to Da Sima's soldiers and horses. I hope all brothers will not be angry."
"Fifty thousand taels of silver, have you seen enough?"
Yuan Ke saw that some people were on the right path, but this fifty thousand taels of silver was too little.
He couldn't help but continue to beat Shen Huaishan.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver, my brothers who have more than 100,000 yuan, this is not enough. Cheng Yaojin, go and tell the brothers that the Shen family is also in a difficult situation. He, he really has no money. Please don't be too harsh when you attack." , leave some pension money for the Shen family head."
His words were a tacit consent to allow his men to send troops to plunder Shen's mansion.
This move is extremely vicious.
"promise!"
Cheng Yaojin also cooperated with Yuan Ke.
After that, he said loudly to the soldiers guarding the hall: "The Lord has said that the Shen family has not prepared meals for everyone, so everyone can handle it on their own. Also, leave some pension money for the head of the Shen family. Don't go too far. Do you understand? Also, when you meet the women of the Shen family, be gentle and don't cause any deaths."
"yes!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately became very happy.
They are soldiers, not for money, but for women? Now, Yuan Ke's words tacitly allowed them to loot the Shen Mansion wantonly, and even tacitly allowed them to attack the female members of the Shen family.
"Long live the Lord!"
Countless soldiers shouted happily.
After that, many people started to loot.
"I went to the backyard and heard that all the women of the Shen family are in the backyard. As the richest man in Fen City, the women of the Shen family must be very delicate and fun."
"Brothers, remember to leave the two most beautiful ones for our general and the Lord."
"We must not forget our roots."
Some crazy words made Shen Huaishan, an old fox, completely understand what it meant for a scholar to meet a soldier. He couldn't explain why. He really experienced what it meant to be a rogue.
"yes!"
When he saw this, he also understood that if he was brutally slaughtered today, he was afraid that the Shen family would really suffer.
"Da Sima, General Cheng, I, I just made a mistake. It was not fifty thousand taels of silver, but two hundred thousand taels. I, I will send another one hundred thousand shi of grain and one hundred thousand catties of fodder. I just ask you brothers to have mercy and let them go. Our Shen family."
"Shen Huaishan kowtows to Da Sima."
As he spoke, he immediately knelt down to Yuan Ke.
After hearing this, Yuan Ke also became somewhat interested in the old fox Shen Huaishan. After that, he pretended to say to Cheng Yaojin: "Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and help Master Shen up."
After that, he cleared his throat and said loudly to his subordinates: "You all heard it, the head of the Shen family just said that he was grateful for everyone's hard work in fighting thieves, and donated 300,000 taels of silver and 200,000 shi of food for this purpose. Everyone expressed their gratitude to him for the two hundred thousand kilograms of fodder.”
"What? Three hundred thousand taels, I, I..."
When Shen Huaishan, who had just been helped up by Cheng Yaojin, heard this, his body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He really didn't expect that the price would immediately double again when a lion like Yuan Ke opened his mouth and talked like this. Not to mention how painful it was in his heart.
The Shen family's money didn't come from strong winds.
"What? Master Shen, isn't it three hundred thousand taels?"
Yuan Ke glared at Shen Huaishan fiercely, his eyes full of threats.
At the same time, Cheng Yaojin's right hand was also pressed on the knife at his waist.
If Shen Huaishan is unhappy, blood will be spilled on the spot, and Shen's mansion will be wiped out.
"No, no, Da Sima, you misunderstood. What I just wanted to say was, not 300,000 taels. I, I donated 500,000 taels of silver as a reward. I would like to thank Da Sima and all the brothers for solving the problem of Han Sui. The remnants of Dong Zhuo."
