Yan Zike rushed back to the private island from Yudao late at night, without alarming the old lady and his wife who had already slept, and after going to the island, it is said that he went to Aunt Yang's yard first, and stayed for a while before going to the Fenghuang Dock where the eldest lady was.

What is the hidden meaning of this move, and everyone in the Yan family has their own thoughts--is this annoying the eldest wife? The eldest lady is about to lose power? Aunt Yang has not been showing signs since she entered the Yan family, and she has not seen how the eldest lord spoils her, is it all an illusion?

Yan Zike stayed in the wind fence dock for more than an hour before going to his Tianshui Pavilion, at this time it was more than three o'clock in the morning, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, the four were silent, and even the sound of water under the boat was not heard, and there was only a soybean oil lamp burning quietly in the window.

Yan Zike pushed the door into the study, but saw a person sitting cross-legged under the lamp, as if he was doing luck, Yan Zike didn't bother her, just sat next to her, took a cup of lotus seed chicken bone soup that seemed to have just been boiled, and slowly drank half a cup.

Yan Qi took the credit, stretched out his hand to pick up the oil wick a little brighter, and said to him: "The aunt in Xiao Lotus's family is only afraid that she has also been tricked, and she has also set up a Buddhist hall at home, and she can't come out every day, maybe there will be more people with such a situation at home." ”

Yan Zike's eyes flickered in the light, and he raised his hand slightly, and put a handful of incense with the thickness of chopsticks and a few pages of tin foil on the table between the two, "Drugs, can you still smoke like this?"

"There are many ways to inhale drugs, and this is one of them," Yan Qi's gaze fell on the few "poisonous incense" that were made to be no different from the real incense, "I just didn't expect him to hide it in this way." ”

"When the people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, especially the women in the house, set up Buddhist halls and offer incense, it is common for Tu Mi to take a fancy to this, which can not only be widely disseminated, but also conceal drugs," Yan Zike stretched out his hand and picked up a stick of incense, looking lightly under the lamp, "and no one would have thought that he would do devilish things in the name of Buddha." ”

No wonder Tu Mi's means hidden only now have been discovered, most of the women in the back house of the rich and official families believe in Buddhism and Taoism, of course, there is superstition, but also have the intention of establishing their own charitable image to the outside world, it is common to set up a small Buddhist hall at home, and it is natural for a person to meditate and incense in the Buddhist hall, how could the ancients who feared ghosts and gods think that someone would dare to do something on the incense that worships Buddhism?!

Don't talk about the ancients, even Yan Qi didn't expect Tu Mi to make drugs into flowers.

"Where do these poisonous incense come from?" Yan Qi looked at Yan Zike.

Unexpectedly, he finally wanted to seize the opportunity to track down drugs from his wife, and some things in this world are so ironic.

"In the circle of officials and relatives in Beijing, there is a 'Cola Club', which is a small circle of official wives drinking tea and chatting together," Yan Zike hid his face in the shadow of the lamp, "Fang Xin is the first batch of members of the Cola Club, and the original activity base of the Cola Club is Puji Nunnery. ”

Cola Club, this name is Tu Mi's bad taste when you hear it.

"Then the person who established the Cola Club at the beginning was a drug-related person directly related to Tu Mi. Yan Qi looked at him, "Who is it?"

Yan Zike peeked out of the shadow of the lamp and said two words coldly: "Min family." ”

- The Min family?

"So the Min family and the Tu family have always been tied to the same rope?" Yan Qi remembered the news that Tu Mi had rejected the marriage of the Min family.

"Yao Lida has long been an abandoned son of the Min family," Yan Zike suddenly started from the beginning, " Since then, the Min family has abandoned Yao Lida, and it was also from that time that the Tu Min family accelerated the progress of the implementation of the plan, and the Min family was degraded, which was calculated, in order to get out of the sight of the court, and then the marriage with the Tu family was rejected, creating the illusion of estrangement, and pretending to dredge up and down everywhere, so that the officials despised it, so as to relax their vigilance, but in fact, these officials did not know- Min Shenzhong's wife, Min Shi, under the guise of asking for help, secretly sold drugs to their wives and daughters at high prices, they thought that the Min family had reached the end of the road, but in fact, the Min family was frantically squeezing their money to support the plans of the Tu Min family - Min's family, the initiator of the Coke Society, and all the poisonous incense that flowed into the Buddhist hall of the official family's back house was passed through the hands of the Min family. ”

The so-called big plan of the Tu Min family is nothing more than wanting to be the emperor themselves. Yan Qi was not surprised at all, the attraction of supreme power is to men what drugs are to drug addicts.

"If you want to do great things, money is a must-have, buy soldiers, buy horses, buy materials for weapons - Yao Lida is desperately collecting money to open mines in Saibei, in order to be more than just a border overlord for a lifetime. Swallow said.

Yan Qi felt that he had once again underestimated the ambitions of the men. Yao Lida had already established a foothold in Saibei before the current emperor ascended the throne, and after the emperor ascended the throne, the internal and external political situation was unstable, and he was asked for foreign affairs. I took the opportunity to extort the two big iron mines of the new emperor, the iron mine was not only sold to the barbarians to make huge profits, but also secretly built soldiers and horses for the Min family, and a large part of the money and goods accumulated by the expropriation and betrayal of the country must have been invested in the preliminary preparations for the implementation of the plan, if the Yan brothers failed to eradicate Yao Lida, it is conceivable that once the plan is implemented, the emperor will face the internal and external attacks - this plan may have been a vague prototype twenty or thirty years ago, maybe just a Min family" may not be needed, but there will be no loss in preparing first", and in the past twenty or thirty years, the continuous changes in the political situation and the continuous role of various forces have gradually made the Min family ambitious, so this foreshadowing was taken out and officially implemented.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Tu Mi was not born yet, and the initiator of this plan was the Min family!

"And the reason why the Tu family joined in is precisely because Tu Mi has mastered the art of making drugs. Yan Zike moved the corners of his lips as he spoke, but there was no smile in his eyes, "If what I expected is right, Min Shenzhong has already been poisoned and has become a puppet of the Tu family." ”

It's ridiculous that Min Shenzhong has been planning for twenty or thirty years, and all of them have made wedding clothes for the Tu family.

As for the Tu family, with a devil's weapon like drugs, people without ambition will also be spawned with ambitions, not to mention that the ancients knew nothing about drugs, let alone perfect anti-drug institutions and measures, and it was easy to spread it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still Yan Qi in this world, I was afraid that Tu Mi and his "family" would have succeeded unscrupulously.

"What about the Min family now?" Yan Qi asked. In fact, you can know without asking, since Yan Zike is still unhurried to report to her here at this time, it must have been arranged.

Sure enough, I heard him say: "As soon as I got on the island, I was taken down and put in a secret prison." ”

Every year, almost all the officials in the imperial class in Beijing go to the imperial island to accompany them, Min Shenzhong is currently the fifth grade, barely rubbing the side of the imperial class, this time he naturally wants to follow the imperial island, and as soon as he goes to the imperial island, he will be taken, it can be seen that the emperor and Yan Zike have already found his head.

"Now Min Shenzhong gritted his teeth and refused to admit half a word," Yan Zike's gaze fell on the poisonous incense again, "If he is really poisoned, all this is no longer a problem." ”

If Min Shenzhong also took drugs, when he became addicted, as long as he stood in front of him with this incense, he would be able to recruit everything.

"The source of the raw materials used by Tu Mi to make drugs has also been discovered," Yan Zike continued, "The name of this thing is Ma Ben, which is produced in southern Xinjiang, and more than ten years ago, the Tu family established a trading relationship with merchants in southern Xinjiang in the name of private trading, and quietly bought hemp ben under the cover of purchasing local specialties in southern Xinjiang." ”

More than ten years ago, the dark transactions, the long-term span, the nationwide scope, the massive query of records and materials, coupled with the fact that the real clues and evidence have long been deliberately destroyed and covered up, it is not easy to find clues under such conditions.

Fortunately, he found out.

"I have sent a letter to your grandfather, asking him to launch a search and suppression operation in southern Xinjiang to completely cut off the flow of hemp into the Central Plains. ”

Yan Qi's grandfather and uncles have been guarding southern Xinjiang for more than ten years.

"The Central Plains all over the investigation and destruction of hemp plantation operations have also been carried out secretly, this move will sooner or later reveal the rumors, then it will be forced to the Tu family to take risks and completely show their fangs, the emperor will Tu family father and son to Hexi Tuntian, it can be regarded as a rainy day to take precautions in advance, Tu Huazhang failed to introduce half of his own forces in Hexi, just because Hexi General Cheng Tuo and Tu Huazhang quite had a holiday, since Tu Huazhang entered the Hexi boundary, Cheng Tuo sent people to keep an eye on it openly and secretly, Tu Huazhang and his son can be regarded as isolated and helpless in Hexi at the moment, if you want to save yourself, the only way to mobilize the power in the hands of the Beijing Peng Party or the real power figures who have been controlled by drugs- It's a pity," Yan Zike said at this point, looking out the window at the endless night, "At this moment, all the powerful high-ranking officials in Beijing have been isolated on the island, and neither the route nor the flying eagle can penetrate the impermeable barrier set up by the Praetorian Guard along the island, Tu Huazhang and his alliance have been completely cut off, and those courtiers who are controlled by the Tu family's drugs and are not known to the people, during this period of isolation, it is only a matter of time before they show their feet. ”

It turns out that going to Mijima to escape the summer is the most crucial move.

The Tu family father and son are of course extremely threatening, but the strength of the Tu family and the Tu family in the DPRK and China should not be underestimated, and the Tu and Min families have been operating in the DPRK and China for so many years, which one has not been fully supported by an alliance of interests linked to common prosperity and common loss? The consequences of pressing the gourd and floating the scoop are likely to make the emperor fall into a complete passivity, so he and Yan Zike took advantage of the excellent excuse and opportunity to go to the island every year to escape the summer heat, and sent a group of courtiers to the island - dignified and upright, no one will doubt that this summer trip is different from previous years- No wonder the emperor and Yan Zi Ke endured until now to do so, they were just waiting for the arrival of June, and only at this time could they take all the courtiers to the island alone without any excuse without arousing their suspicion - each courtier was only allowed to bring two family members to the island, which was a constant rule every year.

It is only on the island that these courtiers cut off contact with their cronies for one or two decades in a row so that people will not arouse suspicion, this twenty days of time is very precious, and it is an opportunity not to be missed to win the Tu family's father and son and their friends in one fell swoop!

"The emperor has secretly ordered Cheng to take down the father and son of the Tu family, and Zichen also led the troops in Beijing to control the soldiers and horses in the hands of the Tu family in Beijing, and the only thing to guard against now is the power in the hands of officials who have not yet revealed their clues and have been manipulated by drugs. ”

Yan Qi quietly listened to Yan Zike's brief description of the current situation, thinking that he was still working hard to verify, search, and lay out, but he didn't think that suddenly this matter had already been done by him.

The ancients had never seen drugs, and they would not believe that drugs could really be so terrible, and it was not easy to bring down a deep-rooted and powerful minister with just one statement. It is even more difficult to have evidence, evidence that is enough to convince the ministers and even the people of the world who do not know the truth.

However, the summer vacation on the island in June is the best turning point for all this - there is no need to bother to find any tools that Tu Mi uses to make drugs, as long as it is confirmed that the Tu family has introduced ingredients for making drugs, and then take these courtiers around the island, the appearance of some people's poisonous hair is the best evidence.

At this time, the re-punishing of the minister Tu Huazhang and the national idol Tu Mi is a matter of conforming to the will of the ministers and the people, which will not chill the hearts of those courtiers who do not know the truth and are easy to think too much, but will also make this matter go more smoothly.

The matter was roughly settled like this, Yan Qi got up, squatted down to the small tea stove in the corner of the house to add charcoal to make a fire, and put a teapot on the stove. Turning around and walking back, I saw Yan Zike leaning back on the back of the chair, tilting his chin slightly, and his eyes were aimlessly cast on the place on the roof where the light could not shine.

Yan Qi paused, walked over, sat back on the chair, and said, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" It's almost dawn, you have to go back to the island, right?"

"It doesn't hurt to come back later. Yan Zike closed his eyes, opened them again and again, still looking at the void on the roof, and said for a long time, "If you don't let her go...... It will make the other party suspicious. ”

"Well, yes. "Yan Qidao.

"It's two in a row. Yan Zike sighed lightly.

"She and both of them were handed over to me. Yan Qidao, "I tried it with the method of compulsory drug rehabilitation in that life, but whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the individual's willpower, drug addiction can never be cured, usually as long as I don't see others smoking, I won't want to smoke again, but at least in that life, in my lifetime, I have never heard of someone who can stick to it for a lifetime after quitting addiction, so I can only try it as much as possible, fortunately, in this world, drugs are not as widespread as in that life, as long as the drug is completely banned, maybe they can succeed." ”

"Tell me, I'll do it. Yan Zike smiled, guessing that what Yan Qi said would not be too gentle, let her use it on her aunt, I am afraid that it will make her fall behind.

"Good. Yan Qi responded, looked at his pale face under the lamp, and said, "Even a god can't take care of everything, otherwise wouldn't the Bodhisattva Buddha have to respond to his requests? Not to mention that you are not a god." ”

"Really, not?" Yan Zike asked.

"Not really. Yan Qi replied decisively, "It's just an ordinary man, not as strong as my father, not as gentle as the third uncle, not as good as the fourth uncle, how can Xiao Jiu still remember, Cui Xiaosi's manual work is okay, your son-in-law is also both civil and military, your son and my fourth brother, the best bower in Beijing, known as the Raptor, you can't compare, right?"

"I can't compare. Swallow Ke laughed.

"Isn't it just a normal person, don't be too demanding of yourself, be realistic. "Yan Qidao.

"Taught. Yan Zike smiled, then yawned, and Yan Qi, who was on the other side, followed suit.

"I think," Yan Qi stood up and met his gaze, "Do one thing, if it brings you more comfort than regret, this thing is done right, if you want to be perfect, that is greed." ”

Yan Zike tilted his head, laughed softly, and said softly: "Exactly, An An." 166 Reading Network
