"Wang Zhi, kid, don't bully others too much."
Wu Yong's old face turned red.
He originally thought that by lowering his head and keeping a lower posture, Wang Zhi would be able to let Wang Zhi free, or at least the children of the Wu family.
In the land of Jiangdong, the Wu family is a well-known aristocratic family.
Who dares not to give face?
Moreover, after hundreds of years of inheritance, the Wu family has spread throughout the entire Jiangnan, Lingnan area, and here in Quanzhou, it is just a branch.
It's a pity that Wang Zhi doesn't take this approach at all.
Your Wu family has a great reputation and deep-rooted power, so what, ten thousand guan is still 10,000 guan, not even one copper coin less.
"Zhang Heng, come here, tell him what the crime is for insulting the imperial court and founding a county magistrate."
Now I know what to do if I bow my head.
Wang Zhi absolutely refused to let him go, otherwise, how could he be worthy of those brothers who died in the battle.
"If you reply to the Marquis, I will slap you a hundred times."
Zhang Heng said with a smile, and rolled up his sleeves at the same time, as if he was about to open his palms, which scared Wu Yong and took several steps back.
Even the heads of the Zhang family and other families behind them all looked like they were thinking hard.
How come there is no such thing as this in Zhenguan Law?
"You dare, my Wu family has deep roots in Jiangnan, and here in Quanzhou, it is just a branch.
If you mess with my Wu family, you will not end well."
Wu Yong's hair and beard were spread out, and he threatened angrily.
"Someone, get this old guy out of here."
If you don't cooperate, right?
Some people will do things to punish you.
"Why, do you guys want to be like Wu Yong?"
After Zhang Heng and Ada took Wu Yong out, Wang Zhi asked the remaining ones with a smile.
"Well, Lord Marquis, you see, my Zhang family is the weakest one and has the smallest number of people.
I think back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Korea, but it caused us great harm.
All our family assets were plundered, and we have not recovered yet. , This ten thousand guan per person is really too expensive, I would like to ask you, Lord Marquis, if you can make it cheaper."
Zhang Jiajia's Zhang Xu burst into tears, and what he told was extremely miserable.
It really made the listener sad and shed tears when he heard it.
Wang Zhi looked at the old man speechlessly.
His acting skills were really impressive.
He cried whenever he wanted.
He was so lifelike.
I owe you a Little Golden Man.
"How many people from your Zhang family are involved?"
Although Wang Zhi sent someone to count it, he didn't ask about the specific number of people from whose family.
"If we go back to the Marquis, there will only be fifteen people, and the remaining one hundred people will be recruited."
As soon as Zhang Xu heard Wang Zhi's words, he knew there was something going on.
It seemed that the Marquis really wanted to take the soft and not the hard.
"Okay, five thousand per person.
Go and see how many people in your Zhang family are still alive."
Wang Zhi waved his hand and agreed.
"Thank you Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis".
Zhang Xu nodded and bowed, and followed Zhang Heng, who looked contemptuous, to the prisoner of war camp.
What made Zhang Xu happy was that of the fifteen members of the Zhang family, three were killed in the battle and there were twelve left, although two were injured.
"Master Hou, there are only twelve people in my Zhang family who are still alive, so that's 60,000 yuan.

I don't know if Master Hou sent someone to get it, or if the old man sent it here."
Suddenly losing half of the ransom, Zhang Xu felt that it was still acceptable.
Originally, the Zhang family was a low-class family, and they usually bowed their heads and bowed when they were suppressed by other families.
Now that they were bowing their heads to the court, there was nothing wrong with them.
"Send it over, I'm afraid you don't dare to run away privately."
They all belong to a large family, with dozens or hundreds of people, especially women, children and the elderly.
Even if they want to run away, it is not that easy.
"Don't dare, don't dare.
Wait a moment, Lord Marquis.
When I get back, I will escort the money over immediately."
Zhang Xu bent down and led the twelve tribesmen back.
"Grandpa, why are you nodding and bowing to that reckless man?
Isn't it a loss of face for our Zhang family?"
Zhang Lianwen said disdainfully, our Zhang family has been a famous family for hundreds of years, how can we be so easy to surrender?
"I'll beat you to death for being such a disdainful grandson.
I'm not doing this for you rebellious sons and grandsons."
Zhang Xu angrily slapped Zhang Lianwen on the back of the head, making him grit his teeth in pain.
"No one is in a strong situation.
Can I not bow my head?
If I don't bow my head, do you think you can stand here intact?
All of you are old enough to eat, drink and have fun.
Go home.
Within a year, no one is allowed to go out. ".
Looking at the group of disciples and grandsons in front of him, who were about the same size as Wang Zhi, Zhang Xu felt a tightness in his chest.
Comparing each other was so irritating.
Originally, he felt that his disciples were a bit unbearable, but in comparison, he became even more unbearable.
Zhang Lianwen was slapped.
Although he felt a little aggrieved, he did not dare to say anything.
Normally, his grandfather doted on him, but he also understood that there was a limit.
Besides, thinking about the short time spent in the prisoner of war camp, Zhang Lianwen was slapped.
In a short period of time, fear, uneasiness, and hunger filled my heart.
"Grandpa, it stands to reason that Wang Zhi cannot be so bold and dare to go against our Jiangnan family.
Isn't it the emperor's idea?"
Zhang Lai, who had been silent all the time, asked, speaking in a low voice.
"It's not impossible, that's why I lower my stance so low.
His Majesty is not as angry as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
It's not impossible to anger him and cause a bloodbath in Jiangnan."
Zhang Xu also just guessed it this morning.
If it is true, it will be the safety of the entire family.
"In a few days, you can prepare a generous gift and go to the Marquis to plead guilty and see if you can build a relationship.
It's always right."
Zhang Xu is still very satisfied with this eldest son.
He is not only knowledgeable, but also has an overall view of the situation, and he is a leader.
"Yes, Father".
Zhang Lai answered the question and then remained silent.

There were so many people and noisy people now, it was really not a good time to talk.
Zhang Xu decided that after returning home, he would write a letter and send someone to the owner's house.
Don't do anything stupid.
It would be too late to turn back by then.
Everything that is going on in Quanzhou now, looking at the overall situation, is just a small conflict.
If the main houses in Jiangnan really made some decisions, it would not be as simple as a small conflict.
The purpose is to exile Princess Yuzhang in name, but Zhang Xu doesn't think so.
How can she be exiled with thousands of troops?
Maybe there are other purposes.
Unfortunately, she has too little information now to make a decision. , we can only take one step at a time.
Zhang Xu nodded and bowed, which made the Gu family, Lu family and other aristocratic families quite disdainful, thinking that he was a sinner for losing the Jiangnan family.
However, watching Zhang Xu and his clan members leave, several people fell silent again.
No one was in a better position, so what else could they do?
Could it be that he was like Wu Yong, who was forked out and the negotiation collapsed?
If that happens, the big family that has worked so hard to maintain may not be able to escape the situation of division
