It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 223 The Current Queen and the Yan Family Ancestor
Someone from the Yan family, the descendant clan of Shenling, has arrived.

Yan Nantian, the sixth child, is Yan Shisan's sixth uncle.

At the same time, Yan Laoliu is also the person in charge of Yanziji Trading Company.

It wouldn't be too conspicuous for him to redeem the person.

Yan Nantian was generous.
When visiting various government offices in Incheon, he presented a list of valuable gifts.

The focus of his visit was the commander of the Invincible Fleet, Mao Wenlong.

After the two exchanged greetings, Yan Nantian asked for redemption.

Mao Wenlong asked him to wait patiently on the grounds that "the case is still under screening and review."

Yan Nantian has also been in the underworld, and his eyesight and hearing are not bad.

He immediately realized that Yan Shisan's identity might have been leaked.

He immediately expressed his willingness to increase the ransom.

Mao Wenlong smiled and told him that it was not a matter of ransom.

"If Commander Mao can give me some pointers, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Mao Wenlong did not respond, and suddenly asked:
"Has Master Yan ever heard about the Shen family in Suzhou?"

They are all business tycoons and they care about each other very much.

Yan Nantian nodded and said:

"I heard something about it. I heard something happened and the whole family set sail..."

Mao Wenlong smiled slightly: "

The Shen family has settled in Incheon and there is a happy event recently. "

After leaving the military port, Yan Nantian thought more and more that
Mao Wenlong was hinting at him to go find Shen Eozi.

As a descendant family, the Yan family is actually more powerful than the Shen family.
His family's ancestral motto is not to be a prominent figure.
Therefore, the family property was divided into three parts: mining, farmland and business.

If not, how could the Shen family be qualified to become the richest family?

Previously, Yan Nantian's attention had been on the official appearance of Incheon.

Even if he knew that the Shen family had come to Incheon, he would not visit.

That's different now.

Yan Nantian immediately went into the city and chose the most popular restaurant in the downtown area.

I ordered a table of food and wine and gave the waiter a string of copper coins.

"Excuse me, please ask,
The Shen family, the richest family in Shenling, has there been any happy events recently?"

The waiter was attracted by the money and immediately said:
"Dear guest, I finally asked the question!
No one knows this more clearly than the little ones...

The Shen family's happy event is not simple...

Therefore, the Shen family is about to prosper!"

After patiently listening to the exaggerated news, Yan Nantian was shocked.

No one expected that the Shen family would actually rely on the King of Beihai!
As the person in charge of the Yan family's business empire,

Yan Nantian is a rare sober person.

To be fair, Shen Elbow's history of success is

Although there is a "treasure bowl" to rely on,
But his amazing business talent is also unquestionable.

The incident in Suzhou almost destroyed the Shen family.

However, once they get the support of the King of the North Sea, their comeback will be imminent.

Moreover, it is no wonder that Mao Wenlong mentioned Shen Elbow.

He is the future father-in-law of the emperor.

As long as I can say a few good words in front of the King of Beihai,
The matter of redeeming Shisanlang is almost certain.

With this thought, Yan Nantian no longer had the appetite to eat.
He dropped a silver ingot, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the Shen Mansion.

When Shen Elbow heard that Yan Laoliu was coming, he immediately came out to greet him.

"Oh my! Isn't this the Marquis of Yan?
We are honored to have your presence here.
I am guilty of not coming to greet you. "

Yan Nantian immediately smiled and said, "I came here in a hurry.

When I was in a completely different place, I suddenly heard the name of an old friend.
So I am taking the liberty of coming to your house, please forgive me, Brother Shen!"

After the greetings, Shen Elbow was not quite sure why the other party came.

But, no one comes to the temple for no reason!
At that moment, he invited Yan Nantian into his house and asked him detailed questions.

Yan Nantian did not mention the matter of redeeming the person for the time being, but presented the most generous gift list first.

Five thousand taels of silver, and no less than five thousand taels of various gifts.

Shen Elbow thought, if it was just an ordinary visit, there wouldn't be a need for such an expensive gift, right?

So, I politely declined.

"Such a great gift, I am very humbled! I appreciate the kindness of Lord Yan!"

After saying that, he returned the gift list.

Yan Nantian laughed and waved his hand to explain:

"Brother Shen, you misunderstood! This is to congratulate your daughter on her wedding!

After all, Yan is still an elder.

If Brother Shen doesn't accept it, then he is looking down on me!"

Oh, it turns out it’s for Shen Jiaren.

Although it's a bit forced, at least it can be considered as a favor.

However, when you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something in return.

Shen Elbow asked again about the other party's purpose.

Yan Nantian no longer acted pretentiously this time.

He told the truth about Yan Shisan.

"It's all my fault that I'm ignorant and offended the King of Beihai.
However, elders cannot bear to see the elderly send off the young.

Brother Shen, please, for the sake of our relationship,
Help mediate a little...

If you succeed, the Yan family will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Shen Elbow was thoughtful and suddenly asked:

"Lord Yan, are you saying that Commander Mao mentioned me in front of you?"

Yan Nantian immediately said: "Brother Shen, this is absolutely true, I am not lying..."

Shen Elbow probably understood.

He immediately said: "Lord Yan, to be honest,
This matter was originally not easy to do..."

"Brother Shen, please help me!"

Shen Elbow saw Yan Nantian was anxious and said with a smile:

"The Marquis of Yan may not understand the King of Beihai.
He has always been a hands-off manager.
I will not interfere with the specific affairs of my subordinates unless necessary...

But recently, I had an opportunity.
If you are interested in participating, perhaps I can introduce you to Lord Yan..."

Ok?
Unsure of what Shen Elbow was up to, Yan Nantian asked:

"Please tell me in detail, Brother Shen. I am all ears!"

Shen Elbow opened the map and pointed at Jeju Island and talked enthusiastically.

After a long and eloquent narration, he said:

"If the Yan family can get involved, they can get at least a hundred times the return."

Yan Nantian was dumbfounded.

"Free trade zone? Duty-free entry?
This, this is really not a joke?"

Shen Elbow replied firmly:
"The King of the North Sea has a word of his own.

The court also signed a contract with me: no change for fifty years! "

Yan Nantian thought carefully for a moment and slapped the map with his palm.

“Don’t even mention fifty years, even eight or ten years will bring huge benefits!”

Shen Elbow raised his thumb and praised:

"I have always heard that the Marquis of Yan has a sharp eye.

Seeing it today, I can see that it really lives up to its reputation!"

Afterwards, Yan Nantian promised,

Yan's Trading Company will participate in the Jeju Island project with an investment of no less than one million taels.

His main concern was to rescue the people first, and the investment was just a verbal promise.

A million-dollar investment doesn't mean to buy or sell it all at once. You can invest in batches.

Invest 100,000 this year and another 100,000 next year. If the situation is not right, stop loss in time.

If it is really as good as Shen Elbow said, I would naturally be happy to accept it.

Shen Elbow was overjoyed.
While setting up a banquet to entertain Yan Nantian, he also reported to the palace.

At the same time, he also asked the Yan family to call on colleagues to join in the event.

Yan Nantian agreed readily.

At dusk, news came from the palace.

Early tomorrow morning, Shen Elbow and Yan Nantian went to the palace to see the emperor.

This is a good sign.

The huge rock in Yan Nantian's heart finally fell to the ground.

After a silent night, the morning light suddenly appeared.

Shen Elbow and Yan Nantian both rushed to the royal city.

The Imperial Study, Yan Nantian saw it for the first time.
The biggest leader among the three major rebel forces of Shen Ling.

Lu Yuan was also looking at Yan Nantian.
As the most outstanding business talent of the Yan family,
With his participation, the effect on Jeju Island will not be bad.

Yan Nantian bowed and said, "Yan Nantian greets the King of Beihai."

"No gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When he stood up, Lu Yuan asked:
"You came here to redeem someone, right?"

Yan Nantian didn't expect Lu Yuan to go straight to the point.

He smiled awkwardly:

“I dare not deceive the king, I am here to redeem someone.

I have long heard of your great benevolence, unrivaled in the world, and I hope you will grant my permission!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's no problem to redeem him.

But, you probably don’t know the specific reason, right? "

"Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said to Shen Elbow:

"Mr. Shen is an eyewitness. You, as Marquis Yan, please tell us what happened at that time." After listening to Shen Elbow's story, Yan Nantian's face turned red with embarrassment.

The eldest son of the Yan family, the captain of the Eastern Navy,

He actually committed murder and robbery at sea.

Lu Yuan smiled generously and said:
“Generally speaking, I don’t care.
But, I heard that the Queen was a model mother of the country and had done many good deeds.

So, here is a piece of advice for you:
The world is in chaos, and everything is possible in the future!
If any unworthy descendants continue to act recklessly, God will not tolerate it. "

Yan Nantian bowed respectfully and accepted the instruction:

"I will keep your teachings in mind. When I return, I will definitely rectify the sect's style."

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "That's it."

After leaving the palace, Yan Nantian came to the military port again.

Mao Wenlong gladly accepted the gift list and handed Yan Shisan over to the other party.

"Sixth Uncle! Thank you!"

Pull this good-for-nothing onto the carriage.

Yan Nantian asked, "Have you ever been tortured here?"

Yan Shisan shook his head like a rattle:
"No, they were very nice to me and even gave me abalone to eat...

By the way, my ancestors don’t know, right? Also, have you arranged for the navy?”

Yan Nantian felt extremely sad.

This kid didn't get any lesson at all and looked so relaxed.

This time, not only did it alarm the ancestors, but it also caused a lot of criticism from senior generals of the Japanese Navy.

After all, they lost two warships and hundreds of soldiers.
In particular, redeeming soldiers requires a huge amount of money, which no one is willing to bear.

What's more, the Yan family also has rivals who took the opportunity to stir up trouble.

This matter is not so easy to suppress.

If it weren't for the ancestors stepping in,
If he had used his connections in the palace, the matter would have been reported to His Majesty long ago.

When Yan Nantian thought about His Majesty's question, he felt uneasy.

But he couldn't tell anyone else, and felt very depressed.

Hey, let’s just consider it as the debt owed in the previous life!

Yan Nantian didn't dare to create any more branches.
Taking Yan Shisan with him, he boarded a merchant ship overnight and returned to Shenling.

This time, he must ask his ancestor for a clear answer.

After a day and a night,
A horse-drawn carriage engraved with the "Yanziji" logo was parked at the back door of the Yan Family Compound in Tianjin.

The guard came forward to greet him: "How's Sixth Master? How's Thirteenth Young Master!"

After entering the backyard, Yan Nantian immediately changed his attitude and ordered:

"Lock this bastard in the wing room and don't let him out without my permission!"

Yan Shisan was stunned.

When the servant came up and pushed him towards the wing room, he cried out.

"Sixth Uncle, what's wrong? Why do you want me to be in trouble?!"

Yan Nantian didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned around and ran straight into the depths of the compound.

The ancestor of the Yan family lived in a gloomy courtyard.

The main house in the courtyard is long and narrow in appearance, larger in the front and smaller in the back, resembling a coffin.

There are four armored and armed warriors guarding the front door, who are at least at the peak of the Grand Master level.

Yan Nantian stepped forward and politely informed the ancestor that he had important matters to discuss.

Soon, the door opened automatically.

After Yan Nantian quickly stepped inside, the door closed by itself.

Entering the inner hall, there is a real one in the middle.

A huge golden nanmu coffin.

He immediately fell to the ground:
"Grandfather, your great-great-grandson Yan Nantian kowtows to you!"

After a while, a hoarse voice came from the coffin.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My grandson met a man in Goryeo.

Not only did he mention the queen, he also warned the Yan family."

The hoarse voice slowly said: "Is it the boy named Lu? What did he say?"

Yan Nantian did not dare to hide anything and repeated Lu Yuan's words word for word.

At the same time, the "Jeju Island Free Trade Zone" was also mentioned.

"My grandson dare not make the decision on his own. Please give me your instructions, ancestor."

After a moment of silence, a hoarse voice said:

"The world trend is overwhelming...

Alas, how can I put it, it's all fate...

What do you think about it yourself? "

Yan Nantian's brain was working very fast, and soon he said:
"My grandson is stupid, I remember someone said,

All the noble families should not put all their eggs in one basket..."

After a while, a hoarse voice said, "You, decide for yourself!"

Yan Nantian trembled all over, feeling both relieved and worried.

He asked again: "Grandfather,
Is this beautiful country really at the point where it is out of control?"

"Alas! Some people are determined to hit their heads against the wall.

He is already bleeding and still doesn’t wake up, what can I do…”

Yan Nantian asked unwillingly: "Then, what about the Queen..."

The hoarse voice said with relief:

"That child has been lucky since childhood. I don't think there will be any big problems..."

Yan Nantian couldn't believe it and was about to ask again, but was scolded.

"Do your own thing and get out of here!"

Huh?
Since Yan Nantian could remember, the ancestor lying in the coffin,
Always half-dead tune,
Today I actually got angry, which is rare... It's really weird.

However, he also knew,
Because of special circumstances,
He cannot see the sun all year round, and does not eat or drink.

It is said that he lived for at least two hundred years.
Older than Lingguidi’s deceased father.

Full of confusion, Yan Nantian left the ancestor's yard.

Then I went to the eldest house to see my eldest brother.

Boss Yan inherited the title of Duke of Qin and is the head of the Yan family.

In addition to participating in the grand ceremonies of the court and royal family,
He usually doesn't show up in public for other matters.

However, matters concerning the Yan family, at least major ones, must be consulted with Boss Yan.

Boss Yan was wearing casual clothes and reading a book.

Seeing Lao Liu coming, he put down the scroll and asked, "Did you bring the person back?"

"Yes, brother, I just came back.
I put him in a wing, and I intended to teach him a lesson."

Yan Nantian gave a brief account of what he saw and heard in Goryeo.

"Brother, this kid is simply lawless...so..."

"Well, you did the right thing. We won't discipline you. When you go out, someone else will discipline you."

Yan Nantian mentioned the investment in Jeju Island again.

Boss Yan thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Lu is reliable?"

"It's OK. It looks quite impressive."

"No matter if there is a date or not, let's give it a try first."

Yan Nantian nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do."

Before leaving, he asked again, "Any news about the queen?"

The current queen is the biological sister of Boss Yan.

Generally, news coming out of the palace is sent to the eldest son’s house first.

Unexpectedly, Boss Yan frowned and shook his head.

Yan Nantian calculated and found that there had been no news for nearly half a year.

Very unusual.

However, the ancestor said that the queen was lucky, which made people inexplicably uneasy.

Boss Yan said slowly: "Have you heard?

The imperial court has already begun recruiting soldiers, preparing to go to war in the west after the New Year..."

Ah!
Yan Nantian showed a look of horror.

Is this crazy?
There are three major rebel armies in the north, and the south is also unstable.

Even offended Longhushan,
Even the sentiment of the whole country is like a volcano.
Just a spark can cause an explosion.

He even expanded conscription and started a war...

Boss Yan chuckled and said, “So, ignore him.

When we get to Jeju Island, we must send some capable men over there."

It seems that Boss Yan is not optimistic about his crazy brother-in-law.

When it was time to eat, the servant brought food to Yan Shisan.

A bowl of water, two steamed breads, and a plate of salted beans.

Yan Shisan roared angrily:

"Damn slave, do you think I'm a pig?!"

Yan Nantian said coldly outside the door:
"Eat it or not, if you don't reflect deeply on this, you'll never get out of this world."

Yan Shisan is going crazy.

"Sixth Uncle, I know I was wrong, please let me out..."

"Where did you go wrong?"

"I, I shouldn't have messed with that damn North Sea King..."

Yan Nantian sighed: "Bastard King..."

The good-tempered Yan Laoliu almost burst into swearing.

Yan Shisan was really hungry and said quickly: "Sixth Uncle,
The rebels even gave me abalone to eat.
What you do is called abusing prisoners of war, which is inhumane..."

Yan Nantian turned around and left.
He was really afraid that if he continued listening, his decades of self-cultivation would be broken by this thing.
