When hiding behind the door and peeking, Xiang Kang actually didn't have a good first impression on Yu Jian, the current head of the Yu family. In addition to feeling that Xiang Kang's appearance is more gentle and handsome than other Xiang family's children, in Yu Jian's mind, Xiang Kang's image is actually similar to other Xiang family's children. They are all lazy, idle, and don't do their jobs and like to be pretentious. They are the kind of lazy rogue who wastes air while living.

However, the words of Xiang Kang and Yu Zhi's answer made Yu Jian change this view quickly. He heard Xiang Kang talk endlessly behind the door accusing his son of usurping his identity, politely advancing and retreating, without showing signs of showing off, but exuding the noble style of descendants of famous generals everywhere. He also saw Xiang Kang's calm and confident temperament, courteous and elegant demeanor in the crack of the door, and Yu Jian, who had received good cultural education and envied the noble status of the noble and noble since childhood, was inevitably surprised. He also changed his mind temporarily and went out to invite Xiang Kang and Xiang to his house to sit in his house.

When the guest and the host sat down after entering the door, Xiang Kang successfully continued Yu Jian's favor for him. He sat on the ground and held his knees with his hands on his knees, with a calm and friendly smile, showing the noble temperament of the children of aristocratic families. At the same time, Xiang Kang's seating posture was also standard, and he knew at a glance that he had received strict etiquette education since childhood. In contrast, Yu Zhi, a son from a civilian, sat without a seat. He couldn't help but hit his butt on his face, and his expression was gloomy and ugly. In terms of temperament and behavior, Xiang Kang and Xiang was very different.

He sighed inwardly and said that it was indeed three generations of clothes and five generations of food. Yu Jian first ordered the servant to drink, and then asked Xiang Kang with a smile: "I just heard from the servant that the two young masters came to the humble house. I have something to discuss with me. I wonder what advice is it?"

Yu Zhi, who was sitting opposite Xiang Kang, raised his ears, and Xiang Da, who was sitting next to Xiang Kang, also listened carefully to how his clan uncle made friends with the local rich man of the Yu family on behalf of the Xiang family. Xiang Kang looked relaxed and bowed with a smile, saying, "I'm not hiding it from Mr. Yu, my younger generation and nephew are here to disturb him this time to save Mr. Yu's family."

The lobbyist tricks of being shocked and then being caressed were common in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but they were always tried and tested. So when he heard Xiang Kang's words, not only Yu Zhi, who was sitting opposite, was shocked, but Xiang Da couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise. He didn't know what happened to the Yu family and he and his clan uncle. Yu Jian, who was sitting in the middle of the main position, was also stunned and asked in surprise: "What's the matter below that needs the young master to save?"

"I heard that in April this year, a servant died in the noble house." Xiang Kang mentioned an old story about the Yu family introduced by the Xiang family's children and said: "Later, although Duke Yu was kind enough to bury the servant and let him be buried in peace, he forgot to report to the government according to Qin law, alarming the Ling County government. The county sent someone to investigate and punish Duke Yu, and I came here for this matter." (Qin law stipulates that burying the body privately is a crime and must be punished.)

"That's the matter." Yu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's true that this is the case, but my family didn't forget to report to the government. When my servant went to report to Lidian, he misreported the name of the dead man. The village canceled his household registration without any detailed investigation. Later, the county found a mistake and sent someone to investigate and fined two pairs of armor. The matter was over."

"The matter is really finished?" Xiang Kang asked, and said again: "Also, I'm going to ask Mr. Yu, at that time, the noble house really just handed over the fines of two pairs of A's fines and got the matter cleared? Then there was no expense for sending off the trip?"

"What are you asking about this?" Yu Jian's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously remembered other expenses he had spent to settle the lawsuit.

"Mr. Yu, don't be in a hurry. Please answer first if there are any other expenses?" Xiang Kang asked with a smile.

Yu Jian was silent and was not sure whether he should tell the truth. Xiang Kang observed his expression and saw his thoughts. He put away his smile and said, "If Mr. Yu is inconvenient to answer, I will not force others to do anything. But if the younger generation is not as good as expected, when the county government came to check the matter, in order not to be affected by the fish in the pond, Mr. Yu must have been treating good wine and meat. In order to avoid being affected by fish in the pond, he would have arranged for him to stay at the temple. Maybe he would have arranged one or two maids to serve the marquis day and night, and then asked the county officials to cancel the real dead and restore the household registration for the living. Mr. Yu was afraid that he would have to sacrifice some money and money and grain. In fact, the money and food were far more than two."

Speaking of this, Xiang Kang turned to Yu Zhi sitting opposite him and asked with a smile: "I dare to ask Brother Yu, I'm right."

"Yes, but how did you know...?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Yu Jian interrupted his son with a cough in time. He glared at his unscrupulous son first, then turned to Xiang Kang and asked, "Young Master Xiang, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." Xiang Kang said: "I just think that Mr. Yu is a big mistake. If you set such a precedent, you will never have peace in the future. We will be unable to resist the sending, and we will be overwhelmed with money and food expenses."

"How can I see it?" Yu Jian asked calmly.

"Because Duke Yu, you have money, but you have no power." Xiang Kang looked at Yu Jian's eyes and said with a serene statement: "Being rich but not powerful is like a three-year-old child who has been holding gold through the market, which is always covetous. If you have a chance, those who have bad intentions will definitely try to force it, lure, rob, extort, or blackmail. If you don't take away the gold held by the child, the thieves and bandits will never give up! Duke Yu, do you think this is the reason?"

Yu Jian was silent again, and Xiang Kangze said again: "Duke Yu may think that the matter of the servant is just an accident. As long as you pass this hurdle and be careful in the future, you should not repeat the same mistake. But I wish you risk-takingly say that if you really think so, you will be a big mistake again and you will definitely regret it in the future."

Yu Jian glanced at Xiang Kang, thought for a moment, and said, "Young Master, please continue to talk, and listen carefully."

"The reason is very simple. If you have the first time, there will be a second time." Xiang Kang said more reassuringly: "When the servants in the noble house are tasted once, the people in the county will inevitably think of the second time. They may talk and laugh with you in person, but behind their backs, they will only wish that something happened to you in your home quickly, so that they will have the opportunity to use the same trick again and eat and take it to Mr. Yu! Even if it is a trivial matter, they will inevitably make a huge statement! Because the bigger the matter, the more benefits they will get! Mr. Yu, do you think this is the reason?!"

Yu Jian resisted the urge to nod and patiently continued to listen to Xiang Kang's speech. Xiang Kang did not disappoint Yu Jian, and said, "There is more important point. When the emperor was in the past, the criminal law was strict, but the administration was still fair. Officials of all sizes did not dare to act too recklessly. In addition, Yan Jiting is located in a remote place and is far away from the county town. Yu Gong's family is cautious and has been alarming the right and wrong of the government, so they have been peaceful and enjoying peace."

"But it's completely different now. Now that the late emperor has passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, the court is shocked, and the administration will inevitably be affected. If the new emperor can strictly control officials like the previous emperor, it would be fine, but you don't have to worry too much. But if the new emperor neglects the administration and gives those corrupt officials the opportunity to eat and eat the people at will, Mr. Yu, you set some precedents for suspected private burying the body of the servants - I dare to ask Mr. Yu, what kind of danger do you think you will face in the future?"

The muscles on Yu Jian's face finally twitched uncontrollably, and he regretted that he had chosen to use money to solve a big or small thing because he was afraid of causing trouble, so that the county officials knew that there was a bamboo robbery here, and he was even more worried that things would be attacked by Xiang Kangyan, setting this precedent and in the future there would be endless troubles.

Yu Jian's shaking was immediately seen through by Xiang Kang, who was good at observing words and expressions. Xiang Kang also said: "Donald Yu, maybe I guessed randomly. Yesterday, outside Xiaxiang County, I saw the ox cart of a noble house carrying goods back to Yanjiting. At that time, I felt strange. Although the distance between Yanjiting and Xiaxiang was almost the same as Xiaxiang, Yanjiting and Xiaxiang had to leave the county and county after all. How could you give up your family? I sent my family to Xiaxiang to buy New Year's goods? Now it seems that maybe it was Duke Yu that you are also worried. You know the truth that you are not revealing your money. You deliberately don't want the officials of Lingxian to know how big it is to buy New Year's goods."

Yu Jian smiled bitterly, but Yu Zhi shouted over there and said, "Father, no wonder you want the servants to go to Xiaxiang County to buy New Year's goods. It turns out that's the reason!"

Yu Jian smiled even more bitterly. He first stopped his son's shouting, and then bowed to Xiang Kang and said, "Young Master misunderstood about this matter. I am not careful about this. I really didn't think of this. To be honest, the reason why I sent someone to Xiaxiang to buy New Year's goods is actually ridiculous. It is because Xiaxiang's wine is better than Lingxian's, so I arranged for Xiaxiang to buy wine and also bought some other New Year's goods by the way."

"So that's the case. It's because the younger generation is suspicious and random thoughts." Xiang Kang laughed, stopped talking, and waited for Yu Jian to speak.

The wine was delivered at this time, but Yu Jian did not rush to invite Xiang Kang and Xiang to drink together. After thinking for a while, he said, "Young Master Xiang is a talented person, you know the small things. Since you already know the hidden dangers in the next family, then what should you do in the future?"

"Mr. Yu, this is also the reason why I came to visit you today." Xiang Kang slowed down and said, "I am here to take advantage of the situation to help you turn the danger into safety and avoid extortion from the villains."

"Taking the momentum?" Yu Jian said in surprise.

"Yes, use the power of my Xiang family to protect your Yu family's wealth." Xiang Kang said without blushing: "Although my Xiang family is now in decline, my family is after the royal family of the Old Chu. The famous family of Chu has been generals for generations in Chu. My eldest father, Xiang Yangong, is the last famous general of the Chu State, and is deeply loved by the people. So far, there are still folk rumors that my eldest father is not dead and is still secretly protecting the remains of the Old Chu."

"The Xiang family is so famous, please think about it. If my Xiang family comes forward to protect your Yu family, are you still afraid that those rogues and scoundrels will extort your family? But are you still afraid that those corrupt officials will take advantage of you? If our Xiang family comes forward to take responsibility, are there others who spy on your wealth?"

When Xiang Kang was excited, Xiang could not help but lift his chest, but Yu Jian widened his eyes. Yu Zhi also opened his mouth wide. After coming to his senses, Yu Zhi immediately said: "You Xiang family protect our Yu family? How do you protect us? He said that you may have some skills to deal with those wanderers, but how do you deal with the government? If you have the ability to deal with the government, your two uncles will kill someone, why did you run away?"

"What did you say?"

"Calm it, calm down! Listen to me!"

Xiang Da was about to stand up as soon as he helped the ground. Xiang Kang quickly stopped him, then turned to Yu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is right. My two uncles were indeed forced to leave the prince because of a fight with someone. But Brother Yu, I'll give you an example. If Brother Yu's uncle also killed someone and escaped from Yan Jiting, Brother Yu, do you have the ability to not be implicated? Can you protect your Yu family's family property from being confiscated? Can you protect your Yu family from being deceived by the mice in the village pavilions?"

"this……."

Yu Zhi was speechless again, and Xiang Kang did not continue to ask him, but turned to Yu Jian again and said, "Mr. Yu is forgiven for his crime. I will also take the initiative to ask you, if you have relatives who have murdered someone and escape, are you sure that you can protect yourself and other family members from being implicated? Can you protect your property, slaves, cows, horses and fields? Maybe you can still be carefree in the countryside like the younger generation and younger brothers? Don't be deceived by those little mice in the village pavilions?"

Yu Jian closed his eyes and thought, after a long time, Yu Jian suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Young Master, how should you borrow the power of your Xiang family? How should you repay me?"

"It's very simple to take advantage of the situation. It's just that our two families have made close friends and often move around and frequently." Xiang Kang answered quickly and said, "As for the reward..."

He deliberately delayed his voice and quietly glanced at his already nervous nephew Xiang Ta. Xiang Kang then said: "I am here to meet our Xiang family's children. I hope to meet you, Mr. Yu, and you can eliminate your grudges, forget the unpleasant things in the Xiang Yu family before, abandon past grudges, and make friends with sincerity. This is enough."

Yu Jian laughed loudly, bowed to Xiang Kang and Xiang Da repeatedly, and said with a laugh: "What a meeting and laughing to eliminate grudges. The young master is indeed a talented person! Okay, that's it. I'm sure my family will abandon past grudges and make friends with sincerity! Come and kill pigs and sheep, prepare for a banquet. Today I will be drunk with the two young masters Xiang!"

When Xiang Ta heard Yu Jian's words, of course, was so happy that he almost laughed out loud on the spot. Xiang Kang quickly modestly and bowed and said, "Mr. Yu, there is no need for wine and meat. The brothers who are here are still playing at the market. After a long delay, they are afraid that they will worry, so they will say goodbye after a while."

"What? You guys Xiang are all here? Hurry up, send someone to the market to invite them. Report in advance when you come. I will go out in person to welcome you guys Xiang!"
