Chapter 12 The Inescapable Hou Jun Collection

Uninvited guests come to the door, really annoying!

It was really abominable to destroy the atmosphere and disturb Xie Yi's great plan to move him with affection and embrace beauty. Especially after seeing that the uninvited person was Zheng Bin, Xie Yi was even more angry.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Xie Sanlang has fallen to the point of burning firewood?" Zheng Bin's sarcastic voice came from the door.

In this era, gentlemen are far away from the kitchen, so the argument is to play the piano with cows, and Xie Yi does not intend to waste his lips and tongue.

"What's the price? The weasel wishes the chicken a New Year?"

Zheng Bin's eyebrows moved slightly, feeling that the prodigal son seemed to be a little different from the past, without the feeling of being strong on the outside and being arrogant on the outside but actually being submissive. Now he is full of heroism and confidence, as if he has completely changed his personal life.

Perhaps he didn't understand the meaning of the idiom, Zheng Bin hesitated a little and said, "What are you going to pay New Year's greetings? This is to compete with Saburo."

"Business, what business can I do with you?" Xie Yi's expression was a little cold, too lazy to mock someone for being uneducated, but the person who came was not kind and he should be sure of being uneasy.

"Why didn't there?" Zheng Bin smiled and said, "It's the business you and Lu An are doing!"

"Lu An?"

Zheng Bin said in surprise: "Can you not even know his name? It's that silly fat man."

Xie Yi suddenly realized that the fat boy who bought the poem seemed to have his surname Lu. Why? Zheng Bin actually found his own home. Could it be that the "trade secret" and the identity of the seller were leaked?

"A few days ago, Lu An presented two poems at Wanghu Tower, "Spring Dawn" and "Jobs in the Army", which are quite good works. Unfortunately, they were not made by him, but they were bought with money."

Zheng Bin smiled and said, "I saw you have contact with him that day. I think you sold the poems and essays to him, right?"

"What can I say when I contact you? I just happened to have a few conversations."

"Sanlang, why bother? You and I still have to go around the corner." Zheng Bin smiled and said, "I am very interested in the source of those poems, but Saburo, your work?"

"You believe it was me?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but seeing Saburo today... is completely different from his past temperament. I thought that there might be this possibility. Actually, this is not important..."

Zheng Bin smiled and said, "I heard that Fatty Lu bought two poems for only a few cents of money. The price of such excellent works is too low. If Saburo still has excellent works, how about selling them for ten cents of money for me?"

"How much do you want to buy?"

"Of course, the more you have, the better. As long as you can write poems of the same level, I want as much as you have." Zheng Bin smiled and said, "I can provide Sanlang with a place to have delicious food, and servants and maids to serve you, as long as you can write good poems."

"I mean I will write poems for you in the future?"

"It's probably true...but I can't say that. If you write poetry, I will pay for it, and it's a fair deal!"

Perhaps because he felt that there was a show, Zheng Bin's smile was very bright and his words were polite, as if he had been friends with Xie Yi for many years, and all the grievances in the past did not exist at all.

"Oh, there is such a good thing!" Xie Yi sighed: "What a pity, those two poems are the only remaining works of my brother. If I had known it, I would have sold them to Brother Zheng. That would be twenty coins. It would be a big loss."

When Xie Yi said this, he sneered in his heart, wanting to be his royal gunman, and then use the poems he wrote to go out to cheat, win the name of a talented man, and even become a great master of the generation.

Then, what can I get? Hundreds or even thousands of guans of money? It sounds fair, but at that time, if it is his most deadly secret, will I still have a chance to leave? At the very least, I will be detained to extract the surplus value, and at the worst, there is the possibility of being killed and silenced.

When a gunman has no future, especially a gunman who was bought out, this principle is obvious. How could Xie Yi not understand? Zheng Bin is completely fooling people, how could he agree?

"Is it really a masterpiece?" Zheng Bin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Of course!" Xie Yi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, Brother Zheng will go slowly, I won't send you off!"

Zheng Bin's brow moved again and said in confusion: "Sanlang, don't miss me... In Chenzhou, it's impossible to pay such a high price if you change to someone else. As for the Governor's Mansion, think about your virtues in the past? Will Governor recommend a prodigal son to be an official?"

"It won't bother you!" Xie Yi still smiled faintly, neither happy nor angry.

I don’t know if it was Zheng Bin who really saw the clue or was not giving up, but the guy said, “Why did Sanlang keep people thousands of miles away? Now that you are so down and out, I might be able to help you.”

"Help me? Forget it, I won't bother Mr. Zheng." Xie Yi sneered in his heart. Will he help him kindly unless the sun rises from the north.

"Xie Sanlang, don't toast and not eat and punish the wine." Zheng Bin said coldly: "I believe you know the status and methods of my Zheng family in Chenzhou. If you don't know the current affairs, I don't mind making you even more depressed.

Your family business has been defeated. How can you settle down? No, remember you have a sister and a beautiful sister-in-law. If you want to sell it, please notify me as soon as possible and you will be sure to give you a good price."

In an instant, the anger in Xie Yi's heart suddenly rose.

If it was just a few sarcastic words or even "killing" all the family business, Xie Yi would not care about it. But his sister-in-law and sister were his closest relatives, so how could others covet it?

What is more important is the security of the family. Although Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty was considered to be during the Taiping period, it was a feudal society with the rampant power and wealthy. The descendants of the Zheng family in Xingyang had a huge family business and a broad mind. In addition, Zheng Bin was not upright in his mind, it would not be difficult if he really wanted to deal with a commoner.

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it. Suddenly, Xie Yi felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"Why, I'm very angry, I want to hit me, right? Come on!" Zheng Bin, who saw Xie Yi's expression, was very arrogant.

Xie Yi clenched his fists and wanted to rush up and punch him, but when he saw Zheng Bin's big and thick entourage, he reasonably told him that he would be in trouble if he could not bear it. At the same time, his sister-in-law Du also hurried forward and grabbed Xie Yi's arm tightly.

"How is it, don't you dare? Then work with me obediently. Whether it is your own work or your second brother's last work, I will not treat you badly."

Zheng Bin probably thought that this was called using both soft and hard, and thought it was good, so he looked over Du's pretty face and waited for Xie Yi's reply with a smile.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, noisy footsteps sounded at the entrance of the alley. Zheng Bin, who was proud, turned around and saw the officers in the governor's mansion, and his face changed slightly.

"Young Master, I've found you!"

Are you here to find me? Hearing the officer's enthusiastic shouts, Zheng Bin's face smiled again, and he was very proud.

However, the officer with a smile on his face flashed gorgeously from his eyes and bowed respectfully to Xie Yi. A strange scene suddenly appeared, and a crisp slap in the face could be heard vaguely.

"Young Master, please invite the governor!"

As soon as the officer opened his mouth, he felt a little astonishing. Zheng Bin was confused. What's going on? Did he come late and Hou Junji had already received the news?

In fact, Xie Yi himself was also a little confused and did not understand the situation. Hou Junji sent someone to invite him because of those two poems?

Alas, the confidentiality work was not done well!

He wanted to avoid it, but he still couldn't bypass Hou Junji. Xie Yi couldn't help but mutter in his heart, was he destined to have such a disaster?
