Not long after, Yuan Xi brought Hu Niuer to the gate of Zhen Mansion. After being led into the main hall by his servants, Zhen Shu was already waiting there.

"Xianyi pays homage to uncle" Yuan Xi hurriedly bowed.

"No need to be polite. Why did Xianyi suddenly arrive today? Uncle Wei still plans to wait for your elder brother to come back from doing business abroad and go to your mansion to take a look?"

Zhen Shu asked with a kind face, her attitude was more gentle than before, and she even had a little respect. Although Yuan Xi was a young man and had a noble status, she had not yet grasped real power. However, now Yuan Xi is the first of the three young men to be enfeoffed. Although he is the worst Youzhou among the four continents, he is also the governor. The head of a state, and the people under his command are helpless. How powerful is so great. Moreover, many things have happened during this period. Don’t mention Zhen Mi’s intentional or unintentional reminder to him.

Just talking about the death of Jianshu and Qu Yi made a heart-warming feeling. Although their Zhen family often sponsored the General's Mansion, can the contributions be comparable to these two civil and military masters? If there is a great chaos today, even if they die, they will die, let alone the Zhen family, so he urgently needs to find a backstage. Although Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are stronger than Yuan Xi now, Yuan Xi is their son-in-law, and Zhen Mi is Yuan Xi's wife. This relationship alone has made him decide to put the bargaining chips on Yuan Xi.

"Xianyi is really ashamed. This time I came here to borrow money from my uncle." After hearing this, Yuan Xi did not hide it and said frankly.

Zhen Shu frowned, then nodded, looked at the butler beside him, and said, "How much does the business still have to pay now?"

"Report to Master, there are about 30,000 gold," the housekeeper replied immediately.

"Get ten thousand gold immediately and send it to the second prince's mansion." Zhen Shu immediately ordered.

"No!" The butler was shocked and quickly retreated.

Yuan Xi was stunned and said in surprise: "Uncle, don't you ask me why I spend so fast?"

Zhen Shu smiled slightly and said, "Why do you want to ask, Xianyi, we are a family, money is nothing at all. Uncle understands that only if you are strong can the Zhen family truly flourish. No one else can rely on it. If you have any needs in the future, just come to see your uncle."

Yuan Xi's eyes flashed. It seemed that Zhen Shu had decided to surrender to him. This was a good thing. With the help of the Zhen family's strong funds, he would definitely be able to develop faster.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Xi said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle, but Xi will never let my uncle suffer any losses. This time it is not a waste. Xi will soon go to Youzhou. After that, within half a year, Xi will repay you 20,000 yuan, and there are three official positions. In addition, I plan to let my elder brother serve as the prefect of Shanggu County and take charge of the place alone. What do you think?"

Zhen Shu's pupils suddenly shrank. Shanggu County is not a small county, and the position of prefect is extremely powerful. An excited smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Okay, okay, Xianyi, the Zhen family will help you in the future. Don't worry about money, even if you notify your uncle, it's just."

"Then I'll thank you uncle," Yuan Xi said with a smile. In this way, he not only completely brought the Zhen family, but also obtained the talent of Zhen Yan. It was really a killing two birds with one stone. As for the prefect of Shanggu County, he had already planned to remove it. Not only Shanggu County, but also He changed the prefects of various counties in Youzhou step by step to his confidants.

"Haha" Zhen Shu smiled excitedly and said, "Xianyi, you must have lunch before leaving today. Let's have a good chat."

"Of course, Xi must respect uncle for a few cups," Yuan Xi said with a smile

"Okay" Zhen Shu stroked her chin and beard with satisfaction.

Just as the two were about to walk to the inner courtyard, a burst of anxious shouts came from outside.

"Master, Master" saw a servant with blood standing on his clothes, and a look of panic was rolling and crawling in front of him.

After Zhen Shu saw it clearly, her face turned pale and she rushed over, "Lu Si, what's going on, Yan'er?"

"Master, it's not good. The eldest son was captured by the bandits. They asked me to come back to report the letter, saying that he would ask for five thousand gold, otherwise he would kill the young master." Lu Si cried bitterly.

Zhen Shu suddenly shook all over and became dizzy, and even felt a little unsteady. Yuan Xi quickly supported him and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, with Xianyi here, you will never let anyone hurt the Zhen family."

Hearing this, Zhen Shu calmed down a lot and said anxiously: "Xianyi, you must save Yan'er, he is the future head of the Zhen family!"

"Uncle, don't worry." Yuan Xi's eyes flashed with cold light and he looked at Lu Si and said, "Brother, where were they arrested?"

"It's near Niutou Mountain less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng," Lu Si immediately reported.

"How many people were there when they robbed? Do you see clearly?" Yuan Xi continued.

"No more than two hundred at most," Lu Si thought for a while and replied cautiously.

Hearing this, Zhen Shu cursed angrily and worriedly: "I have given instructions many times. You must pay attention to safety issues along the road. If there are bandits, you would rather take a few more roads than avoid them!"

"Master, we can't blame us. Niutou Mountain has always been very stable before, but I don't know why there was a group of robbers suddenly." Lu Si said helplessly.

Yuan Xi was very clear about this point. Now that the world is in chaos, although the north is pacified, there is still no great rule. The eyes of all heroes are still on the world. In order to raise military funds, there are many tyrants and miscellaneous taxes. The people cannot continue, so they can only go up the mountain to make thieves, resulting in the increasing number of thieves.

"Now, it's useless to say this." Yuan Xi turned his head and looked at Zhen Shu, saying, "Uncle, you can prepare five thousand gold first and save the eldest brother and the others safely."

"Okay" Zhen Shu quickly responded.

Yuan Xi looked at Hu Niu next to him and said with a cold expression: "Niuer, you can take Lu Si to the military camp, inform Jiao Chu and Yuan Ping about what happened here, and order them to transfer two thousand people over. I don't want to see this group of bandits, so I will completely remove them."

"No!" Hu Niu responded quickly and rushed out with Lu Si.

Zhen Shu, who was standing beside him, looked at Yuan Xi, who suddenly exuded a strong sense of majesty, and his eyes flashed with surprise and excitement. Seeing that Mi'er was right, the so-called mediocre and inaction young master was hiding very deeply, and he quickly said gratefully: "Xianyi, please trouble you."

At this moment, he finally felt that the relationships outside were fake, and only his own family would truly care about and take care of you. If it was up to him, he could also let the city defense army dispatch the bandits to suppress the bandits, but that would probably cost a lot of money, and the other party might not be able to do it well. However, Yuan Xi could just say that two thousand troops could pass by immediately. This gap was unimaginable.

"Uncle, what are you saying this? Didn't you just say it? We are a family. If something happens to our family, how can Xianyi stand by and watch?" Yuan Xi said with a smile.
