When Shao Cheng heard Su Yan say that he was going to behead Shao Wen as a public display, he was so scared that he almost jumped up.

The ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of family blood.

In order to maintain the purity of the blood inheritance, basically most families have to give birth to at least two generations, or even more.

After they are born, they will be well trained, and then the best ones will be selected to inherit the family business.

Of course, this is the truth, but it still depends on the actual situation.

Some people pay more attention to the bloodline, so they always choose the legitimate relatives to inherit the family business, rather than the illegitimate ones.

There are many people in the younger generation of the Shao family, but most of them are illegitimate.

Only one Shao Wen is a legitimate one, but unfortunately he is still a straw bag.

Shao Cheng himself knows what Shao Wen is like, but what he cares about is always his origin.

So Shao Wen naturally became a treasure in his palm, and he has always loved him very much.

Now that such a thing has happened, although the Shao family has lost face, it is more important to save Shao Wen's life.

This is why Shao Cheng came to the county government to find Su Yan after so many days.

In the family, he had to overcome all objections to decide to protect Shao Wen, so the delay was very long.

Otherwise, Shao Cheng would have come the next day after Shao Wen was detained.

Seeing Shao Cheng's extreme reaction, Su Yan smiled and said,"What is the head of the Shao family going to do?"

"this......."

Shao Cheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:"As long as you are willing to release Shao Wen, my Shao family is willing to give you a hundred gold coins."

Unexpectedly, Su Yan shook his head after hearing this.

"Shao Wen is the eldest son of the Shao family and the treasure of the Shao family master. Is he only worth a hundred gold coins? I think the Shao family master has no sincerity at all."

"What does the master mean?"

Shao Cheng asked

"One thousand gold, plus another ten thousand shi of grain, and I will release Shao Wen."

Su Yan said calmly

"What! This is impossible, sir. My Shao family can't afford so much."

Shao Cheng was shocked. He didn't expect Su Yan to ask for so much.

"Humph! It seems that the Shao family master doesn't want Mr. Shao's life. In this case, the Shao family master please go back!"

"I will inform the county later and choose a day to execute Shao Wen."

Su Yan snorted coldly.

"You!"

Shao Cheng looked at Su Yan angrily, speechless for a moment.

Su Yan looked at him with a smile without saying anything, giving him some time to think about it.

After a while, Shao Cheng seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said:"Sir, what you want is too much, my Shao family really can't afford it."

""How much can Master Shao take out?"

Su Yan asked.

Shao Cheng said,"At most eight hundred gold."

Su Yan pondered for a moment, then said,"Six hundred gold, plus one thousand stones of grain!"

Seeing that Shao Cheng still wanted to bargain, he said coldly,"This is already my limit, Master Shao. If you are still unwilling, then there is nothing I can do."

Shao Cheng saw that Su Yan had already dropped his bottom line and had no choice but to grit his teeth and nod,"Okay, as you say, sir!"

Su Yan laughed

"Since Master Shao is so happy, I won't be a mean person. Master Shao, you can take it first. Just send me the food and money later."

"Thank you, sir. I will take my leave now.

Shao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yan waved his hand and asked a soldier to take them to the dungeon to pick up the person.

"Tsk tsk, this deal is really good. I got the fierce general Dian Wei, and I also extorted a lot of money and food. It’s really profitable."

Su Yan thought happily in his heart.

Although his previous strategy was to try not to confront the noble families in Zhuo County, this incident was different.

The appearance of Dian Wei changed Su Yan's mind.

Su Yan could still distinguish between the two choices of not offending the Shao family and recruiting Dian Wei.

Since he chose Dian Wei, he must offend the Shao family. Since he has offended them anyway, why not be ruthless and extort some more money. Anyway,

Su Yan didn't want to kill Shao Wen from the beginning. After all, it’s okay to lock him up, but if he really kills him, it will be a fight to the death.

So with the idea of not killing, Su Yan went along with it. He gave the Shao family some money.

He didn't offend the dead family and got benefits. Isn't it good to kill two birds with one stone? After Shao Cheng took Shao Wen back, he did not dare to neglect the speed. He sent the money and food within two days.

Su Yan asked someone to quietly put the food in the treasury, and then spent some money to buy some good medicinal materials for Du Ji's mother to replenish her body.

Du Ji was naturally very grateful to Su Yan, and his favorability increased a lot, but he didn't change his mouth to call him"Lord".

Su Yan estimated that he still needed to show some real strength.

It happened that the grain delivery date mentioned last time was approaching, and in the past few days The county magistrate would occasionally ask Su Yan about the specific route of transportation.

Su Yan smiled inwardly, knowing that the old man could not sit still, so he told him that the transportation route was near Baixiong Ridge.

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, and repeatedly promised not to tell anyone.

However, the people arranged by Su Yan came back to report that they saw the county magistrate's housekeeper sneak out of the city at night and go to Baixiong Ridge.

Su Yan was relieved now, it seemed that this guy really took the bait. Seeing that there were still four or five days left until that day, he called Dian Wei, and then secretly went out of the city to receive the three hundred guards of the Zou family.

After receiving them, he and Dian Wei got familiar with these guards, and then began to train them secretly.

What Su Yan did not expect was that the Zou family was willing to spend money to give them these 300 people, all of whom were elite soldiers. Each of them was a strong and agile elite soldier.

Many of them were veterans who had retired from the battlefield, and they were all soldiers who had seen blood and fought hundreds of battles.

After Su Yan integrated them and trained them a little, they became a regular division.

Their combat effectiveness was not weaker than those regular troops of the Zhuo County government, and they were even a little stronger.

With these 300 people, Su Yan's plan was foolproof.���
