Chapter 290 Dong Yan was taken away
Bangxian originally referred to a group of people who were of low status and poor money and who followed the dandies around to eat and drink for free.
Your class cannot be too bad, otherwise you won't have the chance to meet rich guys and they won't want to play with you.
His family background must not be very good, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make a living by flattering others.
Those dandies who are only followed by lackeys are not welcome in public.
No matter how many lackeys you have, they are all slaves in the family and are of low value.
Only when you go out with a few helpers will people look up to you, and the level of the helpers also reflects the power of this dude.
For example, you may not know a particular playboy, but you recognize the assistant around him as the son of an official of the sixth or seventh rank.
Needless to say, this kid is at least the son of a fourth-rank official or the nephew of a second- or third-rank official.
Later, it gradually became a trend, and some casinos and brothels in the private sector also started to contact this kind of idle people.
The idle ones have no money, but the dandy boys they support have money.
Whether it's leading people to gambling or prostitution, of course he will get the benefits after getting the money.
As soon as Xiao Yuan mentioned helping Xian Yu Sheng, he also started to think about it. Dong Yan's behavior was indeed very similar.
The one who has nothing to do will instigate others to gamble. If he wins, he will giggle and coax others to give him wedding money or ask you to treat him to drinks and meals.
If you lose the bet, your life or death will be decided by you.
Isn't that Dong Yan?
If the second prince succeeds in his rebellion, as the number one conspirator, he will certainly be the first to receive the credit for following the emperor, not to mention being appointed as prime minister.
The second prince defeated him and ran faster than anyone else, but when he came to his place, he was still treated as a guest of honor.
What did he lose?
It seems not, it’s just a change of place to eat.
But the second prince who lost the bet also lost the main branch of the Yu family.
Now he is instigating me to rebel again. This is gambling with the lives of my whole family on the possibility of him rising to prominence with them!
Many things are hard to think about too deeply. After removing the filter of a loyal servant, Yu Sheng was finally able to see Dong Yan correctly.
It seems that nothing good has happened to him these days. He has been advised to marry his daughter to other forces or to send people to the capital to assassinate him.
To be honest, he was already a little shaken.
He couldn't help but feel scared when he thought that there was a martial arts master like the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo in the imperial court.
Fortunately he did not take action, otherwise his whole family would have been wiped out in a matter of minutes.
The war between the imperial court and the Quanrong was only a military strain. If the Bashu army did not move, they could directly kill the leader.
Yu Sheng's eldest son also felt that what Xiao Yuan and his wife said made sense.
No matter whether the person who assassinated my sister today was that old man or not, he cannot be kept because he always instigated my father to rebel.
He has disliked that guy ever since the old man came.
At the beginning, he tried to sow discord between himself and his second brother, saying that his father valued his second brother too much and that his position as heir was unstable.
Oh, if his father hadn’t said that he was serving the Yu family during his grandfather’s time, he would have beaten him up long ago.
Now I see that it is not a thing.
It is possible that the discord among the cousins of the Yu family was instigated by him.
Yu Dalang used to often accompany his father back to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor, and naturally lived in Yu's house during that time.
At that time, he felt that it was outrageous that several cousins from his uncle's family fought like chickens every day.
I also felt that my uncle was not as loving as my father and could not balance the relationship between brothers.
Now, after listening to what Zhenguo Hou said, I realized that there was a traitor in the family who was trying to sow discord.
The second branch of the Yu family has always been harmonious, and Yu Sheng is a person who can listen to others. His sons and daughters all say that Dong Yan is not a good person, and he has decided to give up on this person.
He was quite a coward, saying that since Dong Yan was involved in the Second Prince's treason, he should be handed over to the Dongchang for punishment.
He took him in for a while because of their past acquaintance, and in order to make up for his mistake, he was willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver to support the front line.
Yu Sheng understood clearly that the court did not take action against him because it would be too troublesome for him to take action to rectify Bashu.
If their family wants to have a good life, they should be humble enough to win the trust of the court within a few years.
Regardless of whether the marriage with the Regent King succeeds or not, the fact that the Zhenguo Marquis and his wife did not kill them can be considered a favor to their family.
He sent Dong Yan away and gave him some silver as a token of his friendship, thus establishing a relationship between the two families.
Apart from anything else, even if it is just giving a gift, it means you are visiting the right temple.
When the Yu family fell from power, he had thought of sending his son to the capital with valuable gifts to seek a way out.
But he was too sensitive at the time, and he was afraid that his son would never come back, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yuan, having become a marquis, could still leave the capital? It was their family that was not destined to perish.
It is estimated that the ancestors of the Yu family have made great efforts to preserve their lineage.
Yu Sheng was a man of action, and he quickly had someone bring 200,000 taels of silver notes and a small box of gold, silver and jewelry.
He was familiar with dealing with a strict wife, so he just had to give gifts to his wife.
Xiao Yuan and Jiang Xinyu did not refuse either.
If they don't accept Yu Sheng's heart at this time, they will definitely feel uneasy. Since they are planning to be good friends, there is no need to be too distant.
There is a long way to go, and the way to get along long-term is to keep giving and taking.
Yu Sheng wanted to keep the couple here late at night, but he didn't force them to stay because they refused.
Otherwise people would think he had bad intentions.
When Xiao Yuan and his party left Yu's house, they took away Dong Yan, 200,000 taels of silver and a box of expensive jewelry.
He returned to the rented courtyard and was interrogated overnight.
After finishing the work here, they are going to the border. It is impossible for them to carry Dong Yan, who is such a burden, along for the long journey.
This time the interrogation doesn't matter whether the person lives or dies. If we can get some confession out of him, that would be even better. If not, we will just kill him and be done with it.
The fact that the Second Prince had been executed for rebellion had also been settled.
A murderer's confession is dispensable.
Dong Yan never expected to encounter such a disaster, or rather, he never expected to be sold to the imperial court by Yu Sheng in Bashu.
Haha, just wait.
No emperor could tolerate an uncle who rebelled against his brother and held a large army.
It's only a matter of time. The second branch of the Yu family won't be able to survive for many more years. I'm watching your fate from behind.
Dong Yan was able to hold his ground, insisting that it was Yu Sheng who was planning to rebel and he was just following orders.
He pretended to be scared and begged for mercy but refused to tell the truth.
The Dongchang bandits only stopped when they had beaten the men to a bloody pulp. Dong Yan, with his head lowered, felt very proud.
He was probably dying soon, but this frame-up must have been successful before he died.
When a man is about to die, his words are good. What he said must be true since he has suffered such severe punishment.
No one in the court would ever trust Yu Sheng.
It would be better if I died.
When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. The fact that he was tortured and eventually died tragically is enough to show the court's attitude towards Yu Sheng.
Even though Yu Sheng sold himself out, he still had some trust in himself as the elder of the Yu family.
When the other party produced his confession to slander Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng could not possibly believe that it was his confession and only thought that the other party had tortured him into confessing.
Even though Yu Sheng had temporarily reconciled with the imperial court, this thorn had been planted. With mutual distrust, the alliance could be broken at the slightest sign of trouble.
Unfortunately, Dong Yan couldn't stop laughing halfway because the Dongchang man bowed behind him.
"Second Master Yu, if we continue to interrogate this man, he will die. The governor has ordered that we hand him over to you for disposal after the interrogation."
Dong Yan then realized that the person standing in the shadow was the second son of the Yu family.
