Yang Peng taught Zhou Yunjing how to make cakes in Tianjing New City because Yang Peng didn't have time to teach Zhou Yunjing a way to eat cakes, so that Zhou Yunjing could make it for the old lady to eat in order to fulfill his filial piety. Since Zhou Yunjing was in Yang Peng
We did this once, and Yang Dezheng felt that there was a business opportunity, so he insisted on calling the aunt to teach. Zhou Yunjing usually treated Yang Dezheng more than Chai Xichun. When Yang Yanzhao wanted Yang Dezheng, Yang Dezheng ran to Zhou Yunjing. Once he got to Zhou Yunjing, he was safe.
Yes. It has been like this since childhood.
There are four major mansions in Bianjing City. The former Wei King Zhao Guangmei's Mansion, the Eight Sage King Zhao Defang's Mansion, Fu Mansion, and Shi Mansion. It is a well-known fact that the Shi family is rich in Bianjing City. Since the Taizu Zhao Kuangyin released his military power after a cup of wine, the Shi family has
The old man Shi Shouxin no longer fights on the battlefield, and making money has become his new lifelong goal. Half of the industries in Bianjing City have the shadow of the Shi family. The Shi family's methods of making money are very overbearing, including robbery, corruption and bribery, and the deduction of military pay.
Wait, that's all done above board.
In this regard, the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi not only did not convict, but secretly tried to add fuel to the flames. The Shi Mansion covers a huge area, and even the stone gate tower in front of the main entrance looks huge. The three-foot-high marble gate tower is carved with tigers.
The painting of Xiu, entwined with cloud patterns, looks extremely majestic and domineering. The foundation at the entrance of Shifu is also very high. If you want to enter, you must first go up thirty-six bluestone steps. Walking on the stone steps, you arrive at the main entrance of Shifu.
Yang Dezhou signaled Luo Ye to knock on the door. Luo Ye's hand was so strong that he heard the door of Shi Mansion clanking. "嗞吖~" Beside the main door, there was a low side door. The side door had a crack open and stretched out from the inside.
Got an old head.
"Who is it?" Yang Dezheng slightly raised his hand, "You go in and tell me, Yang Dezheng wants to see you." The casual expression on the old face froze, and he asked: "But Mr. Yang of the Yang Mansion?" Yang Dezheng nodded,
"Exactly."
The old concierge nodded, bowed and saluted, "Master Yang, please wait a moment until I come to report." The old concierge closed the side door and went in to report. Yang Dezheng and Luo Ye were waiting at the front door. Luo Ye was Yang
Dezheng's bodyguard. He has great martial arts skills and is not inferior to Yang Yanzhao.
After a while, the side door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and an arrogant attitude walked out. The middle-aged man walked up to Yang Dezheng, arched his head slightly, and said, "Yang Dalang, sir, please come in." The middle-aged man made a gesture.
The gesture of invitation was just that the place he pointed at was the side door of Shi Mansion.
Yang Dezheng smiled indifferently and asked, "Before going in, can you answer me a question first." The middle-aged man was arrogant and frowned: "What do you want to ask?" Yang Dezheng said with a smile: "Yesterday, Luo Ye came to visit.
, but you received it?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and said calmly: "I was the one who received her, and I also talked to her about the birthday cake. If you are here today because of the birthday cake, then you don't need to see our master.
I can just talk."
"Really?" Yang Dezheng had a bright expression on his face. Immediately, as cold as ice, he raised his foot and kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach. "Who do you think you are, are you qualified to talk to me?" Yang Dezheng moved his foot.
, he was not polite and kicked the middle-aged man hard.
Turning around and seeing Luo Ye standing aside coldly, Yang Dezheng said angrily: "What are you doing standing still? Take action!" Luo Ye glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "If this subordinate takes action, he will die." Yang Dezheng
He shook his head helplessly, "Then forget it."
Yang Dezheng kicked the person with great force. The middle-aged man was rolling on the ground in pain. The old man at the concierge stared at it with wide eyes. After a long while, he said in shock: "You hit someone in front of the Shifu Gate?!" Yang Dezheng snorted, "
Tell Shi Yuansun to come out to see me, or I'll beat this bitch to death." Upon hearing this, the old man at the concierge hurriedly ran into the house.
A moment later, when the middle-aged man was kicked out of breath by Yang Dezheng, the middle door of Shi Mansion opened wide. A loud voice sounded from inside the door. "Hahaha... Why is nephew Xian Yang free to come to Shi Mansion today?"
Are you here?" A middle-aged man about thirty-five years old, dressed in fine clothes, came out accompanied by a group of servants.
Seeing the out-of-control housekeeper being trampled by Yang Dezheng, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Nephew Yang, why did this bitch offend you? Tell your uncle and he will help you vent your anger." Yang Dezheng smiled brightly and said fiercely.
He kicked the outside steward.
"Ah~" the outer house steward wailed miserably. Yang Dezheng clapped his sleeves, cupped his fists and said, "My nephew has met Uncle Shi. This bitch of yours can't speak human language. I'll teach him how to speak human language."
talk."
Shi Bao
There is a huge tiger carved on it. The tiger is carved lifelike and quite majestic.
Shi Baoxing brought Yang Dezheng into the door and yelled as he walked, "Nephew Yang, did you strike too hard just now? Shi Zhong is a member of my Shifu after all. Even if I have to teach him a lesson, it's not your turn, right?" Shi Baoxing
An army was launched to investigate the crime. This was expected by Yang Dezheng. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention beating the people of Shifu at the gate of Shifu.
Yang Dezheng did not intend to respond to this. He did not believe that with the friendship between the Shi and Yang families, the Shi family would really make things difficult for him for a servant.
Yang Dezheng didn't seem to hear Shi Baoxing's accusation. He stared at the screen wall of Shi Mansion and exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, this screen wall, if my nephew sees it correctly, it should be a whole piece of Taishan stone, right? Such a big piece
How much does it cost to transport things from Mount Tai..."
"Zizzizi~" Yang Dezheng chirped, "How many soldiers' blood do you have to drink to get so much money..." "Uh!" Shi Baoxing's smile froze, and he immediately had the urge to drive Yang Dezheng out.
"Haha... Nephew Yang Xian was joking, please come inside." Shi Baoxing smiled awkwardly and stopped mentioning the beating. Along the way, from the main entrance of Shi Mansion to the main hall where Shi Mansion entertains guests.
Yang Dezheng didn't stop talking. As soon as he passed by, he shook his head and sighed. Words about corruption, bribery, plundering, and deduction of military pay were all in his mouth. The smile on Shi Baoxing's face had long since disappeared, his face was ashen, and his hands were shaking.
He had the urge to strangle Yang Dezheng at any time. Entering the main hall of Shi Mansion, he saw a huge painting hanging in the main hall.
Yang Dezheng immediately exclaimed in astonishment, "The "Pictures of Immortals" by the Wu family in Yuzhou should have been widely rumored by people in Bianjing. My second uncle Baoji detained more than a dozen people and took them back, right?" Painting Saint
Wu Daozi was originally from Yuzhou. The Wu family in Yuzhou mentioned by Yang Dezheng refers to the clan of the descendants of the painting saint Wu Daozi.
This "Picture of Immortals" is an ancestral heirloom of the Wu family in Yuzhou. "That's enough!"
Shi Baoxing couldn't bear it anymore and roared loudly. "Yang Dalang, you beat up the steward of my house when you came in. After you came in, you uttered arrogant words many times. Do you think there is no one in my Shi family?" Yang Dezheng smiled brightly, "Uncle Shi, don't be angry.
, my nephew also spoke from the bottom of his heart. You also know that my nephew is now in the position of Zuo Bu Que, and he knows something about the power of Zuo Bu Que to supervise officials and report things. What my nephew said today is just to point out.
There are some inappropriate things about Guifuzhong. If Uncle Shi corrects them, he can avoid a lot of impeachment and trouble."
"My Shi family has always behaved like this. The piles of memorials to impeach our Shi family can fill this room. Up to now, our Shi family is not as stable as Mount Tai." Shi Baoxing snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If Nephew Yang wants to
Impeach my Shi family, go ahead." Yang Dezheng smiled and consciously sat on the seat in the main hall of Shi Mansion.
"Uncle Shi has misunderstood. How could my nephew impeach the Shi family?" He glanced around and wondered, "Uncle Shi, my nephew came to visit and didn't even have a cup of tea?" Shi Baoxing glanced at Yang Yansi coldly and took a long step.
He walked to the main seat and sat down, reluctantly giving the order.
"Serve tea." After hearing Shi Baoxing's instructions, the maids hurriedly served two cups of fragrant tea. Yang Dezheng sniffed, and the tea in Shi Baoxing's cup was overflowing with fragrance, but the tea in his cup had no taste at all. Yang Dezheng secretly thought to himself
Shaking his head, he picked up the teacup and wet his lips, then put down the teacup. Shi Baoxing tasted the fragrant tea, smacked his lips, and said calmly: "Nephew Yang, you've also drank the tea. It's time to explain your purpose of coming, right?"
Yang Dezheng slightly handed over his hand, "My nephew came here today because he has two things to discuss with his uncle." Shi Baoxing waved his hand and said in a nonchalant way: "You don't need to talk about the birthday cake. Shi Zhong's attitude is that we
The attitude of the Shi family." Yang Dezheng frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed it. He smiled and said: "My nephew can give the birthday cake to the Shi family. But my nephew has two other things that need Uncle Shi.
help."
"Oh?" Shi Baoxing was a little surprised to hear that Yang Dezheng had given up his involvement in birthday cakes. There are now more than a dozen birthday cake shops in Bianjing City, and shops have also been set up in surrounding counties.
Last year, the birthday cake shop contributed nearly 150,000 taels of silver profit to Shi Mansion.
This is also the reason why Shifu wants to swallow up the birthday cake business regardless of breaking up with Yang Dezheng. The profit of the birthday cake shop is only a drop in the bucket compared with Shifu's family property. However, the Shi family is greedy
Due to their nature, they will not spit out anything that comes into their mouths.
"Is what Yang Xian Nephew said true?" Shi Baoxing was confused. Yang Dezheng smiled and nodded. Shi Baoxing's expression softened a bit and smiled slightly, "Here, please give Yang Xian Nephew a cup of fragrant tea." He was arrogant at first and respectful at the end.
He acted like a businessman. "Nephew Yang Xian just told me that he had something to ask for. When he told me, my uncle took care of the details. If he can help, my uncle will definitely lend a helping hand."
Having just taken over the business of the birthday cake shop, Shi Baoxing naturally couldn't ignore Yang Dezheng's request. If Yang Dezheng could give up such a big piece of meat, he must have something to ask for. This is an unwritten rule in official circles. Shi Baoxing's calculations
Very simple.
If what Yang Dezheng wants is simple, he might as well be a favor. If what Yang Yansi wants is too difficult, he can refuse, or he can open his mouth and blackmail him. Yang Dezheng handed over his hand and said: "Uncle, my nephew has
I want to ask my uncle for two things. The first thing is that my nephew wants to exchange your family's share in the Yongning Army. I wonder what my uncle wants?"
When Shi Baoxing heard this, he raised his eyebrows. The maid had just brought the fragrant tea, but he blocked it. Yang Dezheng was stunned when he saw this. Seeing Shi Baoxing's attitude, he probably wanted to refuse. Sure enough, after Shi Baoxing asked the maid to bring the fragrant tea,
With a sullen face, he said, "Nephew Yang, are you a lobbyist sent by His Majesty to try to cut off our Shi family's escape?"
Yang Dezheng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why did Uncle Shi say this?" "Humph!" Shi Baoxing snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Since Taizu released his military power after a cup of wine, our Shi family handed over the Guide Army and the
Currently, only the shares of the Yongning Army and the Zhen'an Army remain in the Tianping Army's military power. Now that we, the Shi Family, are asked to give up our share of the Yongning Army, should our next step be to ask our Shi Family to give up our share of the Zhen'an Army?"
Shi Baoxing's eyes burst into flames, "If we lose our share in the army, what kind of generals can our Shi family be? Is Zhao Heng going to kill them all?" Yang Dezheng laughed out loud and said: "Uncle Shi misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, but with my nephew.
My own intention. My nephew wants to exchange your mansion’s share in the Yongning Army with the Datong Army’s share.”
Shi Baoxing was stunned, shook his head, and said solemnly: "No." Yang Dezheng felt a little surprised. The Datong Army and the Yongning Army were both Xiang armies, but the importance of the Datong Army was far more important than that of the Yongning Army. Shi Baoxing was willing to give up the share of the Datong Army.
, and are unwilling to replace their share in the Yongning Army.
When did the Yongning Army become so important to the Shi family? "Tell me the second thing." Shi Baoxing said solemnly. Yang Dezheng pondered for a moment, "The second thing is that my nephew wants your family to withdraw from the post of general of the left-leading army guard.
Fight for it." Shi Baoxing frowned, "General Wei, the leader of the left army? This can be discussed."
Shi Baoxing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked: "What price can you pay?" Yang Dezheng thought for a moment and said in deep thought: "What price does your government need to give up the post of General of the Left Army Guard?"
Fight for it?" Shi Baoxing stretched out a finger and said quietly.
"Gold, one hundred thousand taels." "Hey~" Yang Dezheng stood up, frowned and stared at Shi Baoxing, and shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, you are just like a lion. With one hundred thousand taels of gold, I can buy one for ten thousand taels."
The title of General of the Second Guard." Shi Baoxing sneered and said: "If you have the ability, just go and buy it. Anyway, if we want our Shi family to withdraw from the competition for the position of General of the Left Guard, it will take one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Yang Dezheng said with a gloomy face, "Uncle Shi, do you really want to do things so well?" Shi Baoxing picked up the tea cup and said leisurely: "Our Shi family doesn't do anything, we only do business."
"Farewell!" Yang Dezheng handed over his hands and left the main hall of Shifu with a long stride. As soon as Yang Yansi left, Shi Yuansun hurried out from the back hall of Shifu's main hall and asked Shi Baoxing angrily. "Dad, why do you treat Brother Dalang like this? Let's occupy
You have already lost your right to marry Brother Dalang in the birthday cake shop. Our family has no intention of competing for the position of General of the Left Army Guard. Why do you still have to open your mouth and ask Brother Dalang for one hundred thousand taels of gold?
"
Shi Baoxing glanced at Shi Yuansun coldly, and said calmly: "My father has his own concerns about this matter, and I don't need to explain it to you. You are not qualified to question my father, so get out of here." Shi Yuansun was angry and stomped his feet.
, angrily, "I'm going to find grandpa..." After throwing away these words, Shi Yuansun angrily rushed to an elegant courtyard in the backyard of Shi Mansion to find Shi Shouxin to complain.
As soon as Shi Yuansun left, Shi Baoxing was the only one left in the main hall. Shi Baoxing looked at the tiger head stone outside the main hall door and murmured to himself, "This matter is far from as simple as it seems." After leaving Shi's house,
Yang Dezheng felt like a fire was burning in his heart. The greed of the Shi family completely exceeded Yang Dezheng's imagination.
A left-leading army guard general dared to offer one hundred thousand taels of gold in the competition for a fourth-grade official position. This didn't look like he was talking about something, it was clearly a rejection in disguise. Yang Dezheng got on the sedan chair impatiently.
The leading bearer asked: "Sir, shall we go back home?" Yang Dezheng sighed, "Go to the Huyan family." Yang Dezheng didn't know how to face the Huyan family.
At present, he failed to capture the Shi family, so he could only bite the bullet and visit the Huyan family. He hoped to join forces with the Huyan family and the Cao family in the Yongning army to jointly suppress those who excluded the Shi family and force the Shi family to voluntarily withdraw.
Depart Yongning Army.
Huyan Mansion is not far from Shi Mansion and covers an area slightly larger than Yang Mansion. The mansion was given by Zhao Guangyi. When they arrived at the door of Huyan Mansion, Luo Ye was sent to knock on the door. After a while, Hu Yanda's figure appeared at the door.
At the door of the house.
Hu Yanda's face was gloomy, as if he was unwilling to talk to Yang Yansi. "Yang Dalang, what are you doing here?" Hu Yanda was not as polite as before, nor did he call him 'Brother Dalang'. His tone was cold, as if he was talking to a stranger.
Speech.
Yang Dezheng looked a little embarrassed, and managed to squeeze out a smile, clasping his fists and saying: "I'm passing the government today to visit Uncle Huyan." Huyanda frowned, staring with a pair of bull's eyes, "What's important?" "Ahem...
..." Yang Dezheng was a little confused by Hu Yanda's straightforward words, and coughed dryly, "Brother, can I go in and talk?"
Hu Yanda glared and said in a low voice: "What are you going in for? You can't talk about anything here? Do you still want to harm my little sister?" Yang Dezheng said helplessly: "Only my uncle can make the decision about what I want to talk about. I can tell you.
It’s useless.”
After pondering for a moment, he asked. Huyanda snorted coldly, stared at Yang Dezheng for a long time, and then said: "Follow me into the mansion..." Yang Dezheng handed over his hand, "Thank you." Under Huyanda's leadership,
Next, Yang Dezheng and Luo Ye entered Huyan Mansion. The furnishings and decorations in Huyan Mansion were very rough, and one could tell at a glance that the master's family background was in the military.
"Boom~" As soon as Yang Dezheng entered the door, two burly men from Huyan Mansion closed the door of Huyan Mansion.
"Whoosh~" Hu Yanda picked up two steel whips that had been prepared and slashed at Yang Dezheng.
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless person." Hu Yanda's attack was so fierce that it startled Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng retreated and dodged. Luo Ye stepped out with a dagger in his hand, ready to meet him.
"Stand down, you have no part in this matter." Yang Dezheng shouted and backed away from Luo Ye, his left side avoiding the steel whip in Hu Yanda's hand.
The steel whip hit the flower bed where Yang Dezheng was standing, creating a hole in the flower bed made of bluestone. The people of the Huyan family all had amazing strength, and their steel whip skills were also greatly expanded, and they bravely attacked
Qian. Yang Dezheng gave in several times and was forced to retreat to a weapons rack.
"Look at the whip!" Huyanda roared, raised the steel whip above his head, and charged up a blow.
"Bang~" The steel whip hit the weapon rack, and the weapon rack was smashed into pieces. A silver-like pewter gun flew past Yang Yansi's eyes.
Yang Dezheng reached out and grabbed the silver pewter gun. He swung the big gun, and the gun's body was like a dragon, and it met the steel whip in Hu Yanda's hand. The steel whip hit the big gun, pressed down with great force, and the gun bent.
It formed a bow shape. Yang Dezheng lowered his head and let go of one end of the gun. The gun drew an arc in the air. With the elasticity, it hit the steel whip in Hu Yanda's hand.
"Kick, kick, kick~" Huyanda was hit by the elastic force and took three steps back. "Pa!" He stomped his foot and released the remaining strength. The bluestone slab under his feet shattered into eight petals. "Come again!"
Huyanda roared loudly, and turned the steel whip with both hands, like two windmills spinning. The steel whip danced, accompanied by the buzzing sound of the wind.
Yang Dezheng was solemn, holding the gun with both hands, and shot out. The gun was flat, and the enemy could not stop it. The gun was shot out, as fast as lightning, and a silver line flashed past. The gun head had already pierced Huyanda's chest. The silver-like pewter
The gun head did not pose much of a threat to Huyanda.
"Roar~" Huyanda roared fiercely, using his rough skin and fleshy body to break the silver-like pewter spear. He hit Yang Dezheng with both whips. "That's enough." Seeing that the steel whip in Huyanda's hand was about to fall.
When it came to Yang Dezheng, Hu Yanzan rushed over from the main hall. He saw it from a distance and shouted to stop.
The steel whip in Hu Yanda's hand stopped just inches in front of Yang Dezheng. Hu Yanzan stared, his beard trembling with anger. "You brat, if I had a real gun in my hands, I would have stabbed you right away."
You see through it. You are obviously defeated, but you still refuse to give up. Is this the way our Huyan family handles things?"
Huyanda put away the steel whip and snorted coldly, "The child can't control that much. The child just wants to beat him to vent his anger on the little sister." Huyan praised and scolded: "If you have reason to not hit the door-kick, what do you think of your father's daily life?
Teach you? There are no rules at all, get back here."
"Huh!" Huyanda tilted his nose and snorted coldly. He glanced at Yang Dezheng coldly and left with two whips. Yang Dezheng sighed, cupped his fists and saluted, "My nephew has met Uncle Huyan. I took the liberty of visiting today.
, I hope my uncle will forgive me for my troubles."
Hu Yanzan forced a smile on his face. "Our two families are inseparable from each other, and there is no need to talk about arguing. When you arrive at Uncle Huyan's house, you will feel like you are at your own home. You don't have to be so formal."
Hu Yanzan took Yang Dezheng to the main hall of Huyan Mansion. On the way, Hu Yanzan couldn't help but praise. "Da Lang, uncle just saw that your move was quite impressive. I didn't expect you to be so young."
"You are so good at martial arts. It really shocked my uncle!" Hu Yanzan stroked his beard and smacked his lips, "I didn't expect that you are not only rich in literary talent, but also have such superb martial arts. It is really rare." "Both civil and military...
... both civil and military... It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that that old guy Cao Qiang took the lead." Yang Dezheng smiled awkwardly and said with a hint of humility: "Uncle, I am so complimentary. My nephew only has time to practice in his spare time.
Martial arts strengthens the body. If you really want to talk about it, it's not worth mentioning in front of you."
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
