Yuan Shu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The land deeds are all in Yuan Shao's hands, and all the family property belongs to him, and I can't do anything about it."
But Xu You smiled and said: "To be honest, all the family property is mortgaged in my hands."
"Really?" Yuan Shu stood up abruptly, remembering that Xu You had helped Yuan Shao redeem people, nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's right, I remembered, it must have been for Yuan Tan and the others that you mortgaged the property to you."
"Exactly!" Xu You nodded slightly, but then sighed: "Not only is there a letter of agreement from the beginning, but there is also a letter about the road. He explained in his heart that everything is guaranteed by you."
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shu said angrily, "What is Yuan Benchu's identity, how can I be his guarantor?"
Xu You said: "Now what you did at the beginning will be revealed to the world, Yuan's family will be damaged, and I fear being scolded by the world. He is entrusting this letter of agreement to you. Wouldn't it be a good time to help him deal with this matter?"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Yuan Shu finally understood, clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Yuan Benchu committed his own crimes, so he can't live, this is his own disaster."
Xu You took out the contract written by Yuan Shao and put it on the table, saying: "With this contract, the general can mortgage all the land deeds of his family's property, take it back to the Yuan family, and expel Ben Chu from the house, isn't it true? Kill two birds with one stone?"
"Not bad, not bad..." Yuan Shu nodded repeatedly, picked up the contract, took a look at it, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, "This... this costs 800 million?"
Xu You nodded and said: "In fact, even the interest rate has already reached 900 million. I think it is a lot less for General Liu because of the feelings of the same people who came out of Yuanmen."
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Yuan Shu paused, put away the letter of appointment, and said through gritted teeth, "This time, Ben Chu will be removed from Yuan's family, and what he did has nothing to do with us, and we will make a clean break from now on."
Yuan Shu originally looked down on Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao stole his limelight. Yuan Sect disciples only recognized Yuan Shao everywhere, which made Yuan Shu extremely uncomfortable. Now that he finally found a chance, he would not hesitate to pay a little price.
Even though he had to pay 800 million yuan, all the properties of Yuan Shao's school belonged to him, and Yuan Shao could be removed, so it was not a disadvantage.
Xu You stroked his beard and said: "Yuan Benchu broke his promise and became fat, which made it difficult for me to do business with General Liu. It's really hateful. I have a favor to give to the General."
Yuan Shu collected the appointment letter and asked, "Please tell me, Ziyuan."
Xu You said: "The general will expel the original name, and it will take a lot of trouble to spread it. You can publish it in a magazine at this time. In this way, all scholars will know it, and there is no need to bother to explain it."
"This is a wonderful plan!" Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu You warily, "How much will it cost?"
Xu You waved his hands and said with a smile: "Since I said it was a favor, I naturally won't charge the general any money. After I go back, I will entrust the printing general to handle it."
Only then did Yuan Shu heave a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Very good. I'll immediately call the people of the tribe to discuss and hand over the written announcement to you. It must be printed in the original handwriting just like the letter."
"No problem!" Xu You nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't bother you. General, please discuss as soon as possible and prepare money. I will return to Jizhou early tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be too late."
Yuan Shu cupped his fists and said, "I'll arrange for my husband to rest now."
Xu You waved his hand and said, "No need, I still have old friends in Runan who want to drop by for a visit. I'll bother you again tomorrow."
Yuan Shu didn't force himself, sent Xu You out of the house, and immediately ordered Yuan Huan, Yuan Yin and several patriarchs who hadn't left the house to be invited to discuss the matter together.
In the evening, the atmosphere in Yuan Shu's study was gloomy, and everyone looked dignified. After all, Yuan Shao was once a leader of the younger generation of the Yuan family. Down.
Seeing the hesitation of the crowd, Yuan Shu paused and said, "Yuan Shao is now retreating to Yecheng, and he is not Liu He's opponent at all. Once Han Fuzhi's letter is made public, his reputation will be ruined and his subordinates will fall apart. For this reason, he is a meaningless and lowly person. You still have to protect him ?"
Yuan Huan said: "Whether they are divided or not, it will have a great impact on the Yuan family, but if they are divided, they will be suspected of making things worse. It will inevitably hurt the hearts of the clan."
"You regard him as a member of the clan. Why did he, Yuan Benchu, regard you as the same clan?" Yuan Shu was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up, and he roared angrily, "When he was in Luoyang, he was a knight-errant and running dog. Why did he ever think of supporting you? He was stationed in Hanoi, all he wanted Jizhou, why did you ever think about going back to Runan to revitalize the Yuan family?"
Yuan Yin sighed, and said helplessly: "My brother is right. For the current plan, only strong men cut off their wrists. The tragedy in Luoyang was related to the beginning. This man has conquered Yuan's family. We can't let him continue to cause trouble."
When mentioning the Luoyang family massacre, everyone's faces were full of resentment. Indeed, if Yuan Shao insisted on becoming the leader of the alliance, Dong Zhuo might not be cruel.
Moreover, when he arrived in Luoyang, he didn't want to make progress, and he didn't have the slightest intention of revenge. After he came back, Yuan Shu made a big fuss about it in the clan, criticizing Yuan Shao to pieces, and became an unfaithful and unfilial rebellious son.
Now that several things have been added together, there is basically no one to speak for Yuan Shao, and his failure to take Jizhou also means that it has no value. In order to protect their own interests, everyone had to give it up.
In fact, the disputes within the family are not as simple as the disputes in the court. They are also intrigues, which are related to life and death.
After everyone agreed, Yuan Shu ordered Yuan Yin to write an announcement document, and the rest of the people went to clear up Yuan Shao's family property, and then distributed it after taking it back.
Unconsciously, a day had passed, and even though he got rid of his serious worries, Yuan Shu was so distressed that he couldn't eat if he sent out more than 300 million yuan at once, even if it was military expenses, he couldn't bear to spend it like this!
After thinking about it, I brought my confidant Yang Hong to discuss it, and I was really unwilling to give the money to Xu You just like that.
After hearing this, Yang Hong said: "There must be Liu He's guidance behind this matter. Now that Liu He has occupied Hebei, it has been prosperous for a while, so so much money has been sent to Jizhou. Isn't it a danger to raise tigers?"
Yuan Shu sighed sadly: "But it is about the honor and disgrace of the Yuan family, so we have to follow it expediently. Is there a plan to stop the loss?"
Yang Hong frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "Since the general is unwilling to give away this much money, why not send someone to pretend to be a thief and rob him halfway."
"Robbery?" Yuan Shu frowned slightly, quite moved: "Is this plan feasible?"
Yang Hongyan said: "The general can arrange manpower in Chenliu's territory, and wait for the money to be returned, but at this time, he will push it to Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao. This person is weak and incompetent. Now Cao Cao is taking the eastern part of Yanzhou. Why don't the general take this opportunity to send troops to take Chenliu?" , just say it’s revenge for Xu You, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”
"Miaomiaomiao..." Yuan Shu said a few wonderful words in a row, his heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "Okay, this matter will be arranged like this, and we will send Lei Bo and Chen Lan to go."
Yang Hong nodded and said: "The general is wise, these two people were originally thieves, and they are very suitable to lead the subordinates to do this job with ease and familiarity."
"Hahaha, everything is within my expectations!" Yuan Shu rubbed his hands and laughed triumphantly.
