Zhen Yan's reaction was not surprising.
The heavens had taken pity on him. He even felt that he was hallucinating.
How could this bandit leader, who was about the same age as him, be so whimsical?
The Zhen Family of Hebei Province was one of the most prestigious families in the world!
Although it couldn't compare to the Runan Yuan Family, it couldn't compare to many top-notch aristocratic families.
However, to a certain extent, the Zhen family's influence far surpassed those aristocratic families due to their countless fertile fields, mansions, servants, and businesses all over the world!
To put it bluntly, as long as the Zhen family wanted to, the economy of the entire Jizhou and many surrounding provinces and counties...
It would collapse in minutes!
In this era, the concept of economy didn't exist, and money couldn't compare to power and swords. However, the young master of the Zhen family, who had been a wealthy businessman for generations, had already touched the threshold of economic monopoly and even trade wars.
Their understanding of the power of money far surpassed that of most people in the world.
Because of this, although the Zhen family was a merchant, they had a very high opinion of themselves!
So what if the world was in chaos?
As long as they were willing, they could freely sponsor, support, and even "control" the various dukes!
Sun Yat-sen's Prime Minister? Former Jizhou governor Jia Cong?
The current Jizhou Shepherd, Han Fu?
Or the next, the next Jizhou Prefecture Overseer…or even a duke who was lucky enough to rule Jizhou when the world was in chaos?
All of them had to bow down to the charm of money!
They had to treat the Zhen family as an honored guest and rely on them!
"Do you know that even when the Road of Peace swept through the thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty, our Zhen family was still safe and sound!”
"The Zhen Clan's fort has always been impregnable!”
Zhen Yan took a deep breath. The nervousness and uneasiness on his face gradually disappeared."Ever since our ancestor founded the Zhen family, it has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. The Zhen family of Wuji has never joined the rebels!”
The bearing and character of a scion of an aristocratic family was once again expressed in words.
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Mu with a hint of pity and sympathy in his eyes."You only have a few hundred bandits under you, and you were lucky enough to take over Lunu County.”
"How is he compared to Black Mountain's Zhang Yan?"
"Do you think that you can do whatever you want in this world just because you know a little Taiping yao arts?!”
What he meant was that his unfortunate capture was just an accident.
Even though Fang Mu had occupied Lunu County City and his soldiers were peerless, to the Imperial Court, it was only a minor problem.
The Zhen family didn't even look at Zhang Jiao, who was thousands of times more powerful, and Zhang Yan, who had gathered millions of people and swept across the Taihang Mountains.
The Zhen family had only given Han Fu of Jizhou a symbolic financial aid and had never thought of working for him.
You are just a few hundred mountain bandits, and you want to make the Zhen Family submit to you?
Was there something wrong with his brain?
It had to be said that as the young master of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan had been nurtured and nurtured by the family since he was young. Perhaps he had not formed the concept of a century-old dynasty or a thousand-year-old family in his mind.
His thoughts were already instinctively close.
To put it bluntly.
No matter how the world changed, the Zhen Clan remained as stable as Mount Tai in the Ji Province…
It was impossible for him to follow the thief!
Give up!
"Young Master Zhen is right."
Fang Mu nodded his head, indicating his approval of these words.""The Great Han Dynasty has been plagued by malpractices for hundreds of years, and it's already difficult to treat them. Even if the Imperial Court falls, a great clan like the Zhen Clan won't be greatly affected.”
"Naturally, there is no need to submit to a group of rebels.”
Zhen Yan was dumbfounded.
"Since you understand this, why would you think that I, Zhen Yan, would drag the entire family down in exchange for my life?”
He frowned, completely unable to understand Fang Mu's plan.
Playing with me?
An ominous premonition inexplicably emerged in his heart!
"Besides, although I'm the young master of House Zhen, I'm still young. Ever since my father passed away, my mother has been in charge of the family's affairs. Even if I wanted to join you, I can't represent the entire Zhen family!”
He quickly calmed his mind and softened his tone."However, Mother loves me very much. As long as it can be exchanged for the lives of me and the steward, she will definitely agree to any amount of money and food you want!”
"I might even secretly sponsor you guys!”
Gritting his teeth and saying this, Zhen Yan directly revealed the Zhen family's bottom line.
However, the uneasiness in his heart did not subside at all. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger... because he could not see the slightest hint of emotion on Fang Mu's face!
Still not satisfied?
Zhen Yan's body trembled.
His lips were slightly pale as he closed his eyes."Since that's the case, then kill me. Although the disciples of the Zhen family of Zhongshan are not martial artists, they are not afraid of death!”
Ding!
Fear from Zhen Yan 10!
His Terror Points had reached 86!
Fang Mu's eyes narrowed.
He could clearly hear the trembling in Zhen Yan's voice. It was obvious that he was terrified to the extreme.
But even so, the young lord of the Zhen family didn't choose to submit!
" The pride and dignity of a prestigious family…"
Fang Mu's lips curled into a smile, and his eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice."As expected, in this era, no scion of an aristocratic family would be willing to rely on a peasant bandit!”
"In their eyes, this is something even more terrifying than death!”
Fang Mu's mind was filled with thoughts, but he did not waste any more time.
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open again.
Two figures were brought in by Fang Yun. One of them was the Zhen Clan's steward, and the other was…the Minister of Zhongshan who was lucky enough to survive!
"This is…"
Zhen Yan heard the commotion and opened his eyes to see this scene. Before the fear in his heart dissipated, it was once again replaced by suspicion.
"Since young master Zhen committed suicide, let's witness the terror of death with our own eyes.”
Fang Mu said coldly.
When Zhen Yan heard this, he thought that Fang Mu was finally going to tear off his mask and kill someone.
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys?"
"Childish methods!"
He was bent on seeking death, so he no longer cared about anything when he spoke."In the past few years, the world has been in chaos. I, Zhen Yan, have traveled with the caravan to all the provinces. Although I have never killed anyone, the number of dead people I have seen…is not less than the number you have killed!”
"Is that so?"
Fang Mu smiled and stuffed a pill into Minister Sun Yat-sen's mouth.""Does young master Zhen know that death…"
"There are also many kinds!"
He never thought that Zhen Yan would submit.
Since the other party didn't know what was good for him, he might as well use the Three Corpse Brain God Pill to destroy the pride and dignity of the so-called aristocratic families...
He was completely crushed!
Fang Mu firmly believed.
In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, there were definitely many people who were not afraid of death.
There were bound to be people who feared the Three Corpses Brain Divine Pill but were still unwilling to submit.
But Zhen Yan is not among them!
