Chapter 83 This Beast
A hundred thousand taels of silver is not a lot for a scholar family like them. The dowry for his daughter's marriage was two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Zheng Pengpeng was still ill, and one thousand tenants of the Zheng family were detained, and the whole family was in a state of chaos because of this matter.
Zheng Yun just wanted to get the matter over with as soon as possible. He thought that King Li would not leave Yan for a few years anyway, so he would wait until the Zheng family prospered and then find an opportunity to punish him.
He immediately asked someone to bring 100,000 taels of silver, half in cash and half in banknotes, and said to Li Heng:
"My Zheng family has compensated you for the money, but you must release the person immediately!"
Li Heng assured, "He promised me personally that he would release the man if I gave him the silver. Why don't you go with me, Mr. Zheng, and hand over the silver in one hand and the man in the other."
In this way, the two of them brought a team to the border town. Huo Zian, who heard the letter, ran to find Jin Sui first:
"Do you want a head count? Change clothes?"
Jin Sui was puzzled: "Why? There is no need to wear good clothes to work in the hot summer. The soldiers in the farming camp all work with bare arms."
Huo Zian was stunned: "But the Zheng family will come to pick them up soon. The prince wants them to go back naked?"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, Huo Tiqi. Just take care of them and make sure they clear the river and reclaim the wasteland."
"By the way, disperse the people today and have the Black Feather Battalion supervise them more strictly. Anyone who dares to escape will be hung at the city gate as a warning to others."
Huo Zian then realized belatedly that the King of Li had no intention of releasing the person at all!
But he said nothing and turned to carry out the order.
But in my heart, I kept cursing, "What a traitor! No wonder he is so greedy and perverted, he can do such a thing as throwing people into an ant nest, it turns out he is a dead eunuch!"
He didn't go far and hid himself to see how King Li would deal with the Zheng family. Then he saw King Li and his men personally go out of the city to welcome Li Zhoumu and Zheng Yun.
He smiled cheerfully and amiably: "Master Li really keeps his word. He sent the silver so quickly."
Li Heng felt that this was not right, as if the two of them were plotting to get the Zheng family's money, so he laughed and said, "It is the head of the Zheng family who wants to make peace with the prince. Everything in the past was a misunderstanding. We should still value peace in Yandi."
Zheng Yun had a stern face, looking even more like he deserved a beating than Zheng Pengpeng.
He put his hand on Jin Sui and bowed: "Greetings, King Li! I will give you the silver you requested, and please release the Zheng family members as well."
Jin Sui stroked his chin, and took Han Xing, Hei Hu and Cheng Yu to check the silver box, laughing:
"Oh, that's very thoughtful. Half in cash and half in banknotes. Lord Li, this is a great job. I am very satisfied!"
Seeing that she was being ignored, Zheng Yun asked loudly again: "Prince, where are our Zheng family members?"
Jin Sui signaled the soldiers of the Black Feather Camp to carry the silver box and asked in surprise, "Didn't the Zheng family send it to the foot of the city wall for you? You didn't take it back?"
Zheng Yun was startled, then said anxiously: "I'm talking about the 1,000 people you detained, not the wounded!"
Jin Sui's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? You want to redeem a thousand captives with just 100,000 taels of silver?"
"This silver is for the redemption of the wounded. The rest is only enough for the food and drink of the 1,000 prisoners."
"Do you think you can just give me some silver and get away safe and sound after attacking my border town? What do you think this border town of mine is?"
"Leave the silver here, and get out of here! Stop talking nonsense to me."
Zheng Yun had obviously never experienced anything like this before. She was so angry that she pointed at Jin Sui with shaking hands and said sternly, "King Li! How can you be so unreasonable? You asked for money, and my family gave it to you. How can you take the money and not let me go?"
Jinsui laughed out loud:
"No, you just realized that I am unreasonable. I have been unreasonable for a long time. You have to learn your lesson!"
Li Heng hurried forward to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing in the world..."
Jin Sui interrupted him directly, jumping up and down and cursing, "Bah! You old man, when the Zheng family attacked the border town, you didn't say a word."
"After this incident, you come to play peacemaker again. Do you think you can act like Zhuge Liang just by wearing a hat?"
"Are you an official of the Great Xia court, or a lackey of the Yan nobles?"
Li Heng and Zheng Yun were both so angry that they wanted to vomit blood. They pointed at her and cursed: "You rascal! You are so arrogant and domineering in Yandi relying on your status as a prince!"
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are disabled? You must let him go today!"
Jin Sui drew the sword from his waist and was about to attack Zheng Yun and Li Heng:
"I am disabled, and you cannot scold me!"
Han Xing was very good at acting and stepped forward to hug her arm: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Li Heng said: "My Lord Governor, our prince cannot be provoked. If you say that, she will go crazy."
Li Heng quickly retreated and hid behind the guards. Jin Sui was still shouting, "Hei Hu! Catch them all, don't let any of them go!"
"If anyone dares to laugh at me for being a eunuch, I will castrate them all!"
Black Tiger let out a scream and instantly rushed out with a group of soldiers from the Black Feather Camp.
Huo Zian, who was hiding in the distance, lowered his head to take a look at a certain part of himself.
Fortunately, I didn’t escape during this period, otherwise if I was caught, the most important parts would definitely be gone.
Li Heng and Zheng Yun were really scared now. They shouldn't have come to the border town to trade. They should have let the King of Li go to Yanzhou to trade! Li Heng hurriedly shouted to the guards: "Quickly retreat! Return to the city!"
Zheng Yun shouted unwillingly: "When are you going to release him? He is a member of my family, you can't keep detaining him!"
The King of Li seemed to have returned to normal and put away his sword.
"If they dare to attack the border town, they must be prepared to atone for their sins. Once the border town is rebuilt, I will release them."
The most arrogant thing Zheng Yun could say was: "You keep your word!"
The group came in a threatening manner and left in disgrace. Jin Sui got 100,000 taels of silver and the legal right to use 1,000 young men for nothing.
Haha, and she believed that anyone who dared to attack the border town in the future would think carefully.
Damn it, you either kill me in one go or wait for my revenge!
It is very important to establish a character. A crazy and rascally prince, now he is a eunuch and has no descendants. In this era, he is simply a chosen desperado with full buffs! If you dare, come to the border town to make trouble! No matter how many come, I will detain them all and open up the wasteland for me. If you dare to make trouble, I will castrate you.
Jin Sui patted the silver box proudly and shouted to Cheng Yu, "Count the silver, count every one of them, including the women, and give weapons to everyone in our border town!"
The last time the Zheng family came to attack, the soldiers of the Tuntian Camp actually used dung scoops to hit the enemy. It was really thrilling.
But as the boss, I just feel sad and guilty. The soldiers I lead don’t even have a qualified weapon!
Thanks to the Zheng family for sending people and money. Well, those people were released before winter.
The land is frozen in winter and cannot be reclaimed, so keeping it there would be a waste of food and winter clothes.
The whole border town was filled with singing and dancing, and Li Heng and Zheng Yun, who were returning to the city, almost had sex on the way.
Zheng Yun said that Li Heng was colluding with King Li and deliberately cheated him of his money.
Li Heng was furious. I offended the prince and suffered great humiliation because of your Zheng family's affairs, but you are not grateful and you are wrongly accusing me!
Until Zheng Yun shouted: "I want to sue the emperor! I must sue this beast!"
