Yang Xianmao smiled and shook his head, but did not answer. What he thought in his heart was that since Yu Tiju and his son were unwilling to give up on this matter, and even wanted to use this method against themselves, they couldn't help themselves. If he only targets the people of the historian, he can completely watch the fire from the other side and ignore it at all.

Because the family is so vicious to their godmother, they have no interest in helping them at all, but their real purpose is to target themselves.

If you ignore it this time and don't do any counterattack, then the other party will definitely get an inch.

The next step may be to point the finger at the family members you care about, such as your godmother, or your maid Liu Dongyan, or the Lang Zhong and the guys you invited to the court, you will definitely press step by step, since this is the case, then the only way to let them see their own means.

After Yang Xianmao comforted the old lady a few words, he got up and left and returned to the study. He sat quietly, thinking about what to do.

It only took one meal to think of a way, of course, this method came from the memory that Venerable Ling Xiao left in his mind, in the memory, Yu Youxia's father Yu Tiju himself was not a big official, although he had some money, he didn't dare to use it with great fanfare.

Because after all, he is an official, this is the minerals of the Yamen, and the money is all from the Yamen, and he embezzled it from it, and his immediate boss is the Tongzhi of Bianliang Kaifeng Mansion, and this Tongzhi is in charge of the mining work, so he has not received much benefits from this Yu Ti.

They had an incident in the east window, it was ten years later, and it was Xie Tongzhi who knew that he had embezzled and accepted bribes, and after being investigated by a supervisor named Lin Zixiong, it was found that there was a large amount of stolen money. Unable to explain where he came from, he was finally ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned, dismissed, and exiled.

After he was imprisoned, he confessed, and among the people who bribed him, Yu was promoted. This matter caused a stir in the capital, and Venerable Ling Xiao also knew about it. So it remained in his memory and was known by Yang Xianmao.

What Yang Xianmao needs to do now is to bring down this Tongzhi Lord in advance.

Lin Zixiong was appointed to supervise the imperial history, although he is not very old, but he has always believed that he shoulders the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, maintaining the image of the imperial court and the integrity of officials.

During this period of time, Lin Zixiong received a lot of reports about Tongzhi and the mine owner Yu Tiju, but they were just some trivial and shadow-catching things, and there was no real evidence, so he could not take direct measures to investigate and deal with them.

Since then, Lin Zixiong has always felt very sorry for this incident, and he has been staring at this fellow acquaintance, and he is not in a hurry to impeach the emperor Zhou Tan Hai.

As a superintendent of the imperial history, he has the right to directly present the impeachment opinion to the emperor, although he is only an eight-rank official, but he belongs to the salt official, so his impeachment can go directly to the emperor, but if he does not get real evidence, it will not be effective, but it will startle the snake, and even attract revenge.

Unexpectedly, the evidence actually appeared in front of him, and he got the evidence in a blur. To be precise, he was sent after being stunned.

That day, after Lin Zixiong returned home and finished eating, he came to the study to read and drink tea. This is his daily habit, he has to take a certain amount of time out every day to read books, and he has no end to learning, he fully believes this, and he must read more while he is young.

Lin Zixiong was drinking tea and reading a book, and soon felt dizzy, and in just a moment, he fell headlong on the table.

When he woke up groggily, it was pitch black, and he couldn't move his hands and feet, and he couldn't make a sound.

Lin Zixiong couldn't help but be very frightened, he didn't know where he was, could it be that he was tied up and locked up in a dark room? But there was no sign of his hands and feet being tied back, and he was still hanging on his sides, but he just couldn't exert any strength.

He was nervous and scared. But the mouth can't shout, the hands and feet can't move, the whole person seems to be completely uncontrolled, but the ears can clearly hear the sound of maids and others talking outside.

It's just that these voices are very unfamiliar, he has never heard them, and he doesn't know where they are, but soon he heard a word that shocked him from the voice of the woman talking outside: Yu Tiju.

As soon as Lin Zixiong heard this voice, he knew that it was the same acquaintance of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, surnamed Zhang. In charge of taxation, I only heard him say: "Yu Tiju, I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you." ”

Then I heard Yu Tiju's voice say, "I don't know what Lord Tongzhi commands? ”

Zhang Tongzhi snorted, but didn't say it immediately, he still groaned for a while, and then said slowly: "That's the case, my useless son is idle all day long, and he doesn't worry about it, so I want to marry him a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that he can have someone to take care of, and he won't be in the wild outside, but this daughter-in-law always costs a lot of money, you know." My son spends all day drinking, and he spends almost all my money, so how can I have the money to organize a marriage for him? Hey, every time I think about it, it gives me a headache, I don't know if you have any way. ”

Lin Zixiong couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, the meaning of the words in this Tongzhi was obviously asking for a bribe, he couldn't help but be angry, but the anger in his heart was replaced by nervousness.

If I find out their secrets, will I be killed and killed? But at this point, I can only bite the bullet and see what will happen, and I must remember their words before that.

I heard Yu Tiju laugh and say: "This is simple, Zhang Tongzhi, your child is also our child." In this way, I have made some money from mining, and I will take care of the child's marriage. This marriage, the new house and the dowry are about 800 taels of silver, and I will ask someone to send it to you, what do you think?"

Zhang Tongzhi's voice was suddenly full of joy, and he nodded frequently and said, "Okay, you have helped me a lot, thank you very much." ”

Yu Tiju said with a smiling face: "It should be, it should be." He also said: "The taxes from my mine always make me feel distressed! Who knows what the imperial court will do with these taxes! I heard that many taxes are taken to pay the Khitan,—— our dignified Song Dynasty is so cowardly, if this money is used for the imperial court, I will admit it." But this is to compensate those Khitan people, every time I think of it, my heart is angry, hey. ”

Of course, Zhang Tongzhi understood, and said with a smile: "Yes! Anyone will be very angry about this." But being angry is angry, this tax of the imperial court still has to be paid, but I will give you a discount for the sake of your loyalty and patriotism, just pay some, and it is really not easy for you to do business. ”

Yu Tiju couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Thank you, big lord, the little one will leave first, go back immediately, and let someone send you the money immediately." ”

Lin Zixiong, who didn't know where he was, was chilled when he heard this, these two people actually openly asked for bribes and bribes, and in exchange for reducing taxes.

But while Lin Zixiong was angry, he was thinking about how to report this matter to the emperor, and it was best to catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, but now his body can't move, and he doesn't know where he is, how to catch the dirty?

While he was anxious, a hand reached out behind him and hit the back of his head silently, and Lin Zixiong suddenly fainted.

Of course, it was Yang Xianmao who stunned him. Before this, Yang Xianmao had been squatting on the roof of this Tongzhi every day to listen to the news.

Because he already knew from Venerable Ling Xiao's memory that Yu Tiju would pay bribes to Zhang Tongzhi, but that was a few years later, and he hoped to find the clue as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after hiding for a while, he heard Zhang Tongzhi and his wife discussing the matter of marrying his son, and at the same time, Yu Tiju would bear the expenses, and his wife also said that people may not be willing.

And Zhang Tongzhi seemed to be very sure, Yang Xianmao immediately understood, so he immediately went to find the superintendent Yu Shi Lin Zixiong, and after knocking him out, he put him in a cabinet in the study while Zhang Tongzhi was not in the house.

So Lin Zixiong heard all this, and of course Yang Xianmao was squatting in the corner behind Lin Zixiong. The cabinet was big enough for the two of them. After Zhang Tongzhi left the study, he stunned Lin Zixiong, and then calmly left Zhang Tongzhi's house with Lin Zixiong.

With Yang Xianmao's current martial arts cultivation, it would be easy to enter and exit the home of Zhang Tongzhi, who didn't know martial arts at all, and no one would know their movements.

Yang Xianmao took Lin Zixiong to a corner outside before waking him up, and then quickly hid himself. Lin Zixiong woke up, dazed and didn't know why he was here, but then he found that his hands and feet could move, and he immediately became happy.

He had vaguely guessed that it was likely that someone already knew about this Tongzhi corruption and perversion of the law, so he deliberately took himself to listen to the whole story, Lin Zixiong looked around, but did not see the mysterious figure, so he immediately left there. I'm going to prepare manpower to catch thieves and stolen goods.

After Yu Tiju went home, he immediately raised money, and wanted to take out eight hundred taels of silver at once, he didn't have so much cash, and after he got the money together, he took a few family members to carry a heavy box to Zhang Tongzhi's house, but he didn't know that there was already a tail behind him.

Yu Tiju led people to Zhang Tongzhi's inner house with the silver, sat down in the study, opened the box, and counted it for Zhang Tongzhi. Zhang Tongzhi's mouth couldn't close when he smiled.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside. After a while, many people rushed in, but it was the archer and catcher of the yamen, and at that moment there were two people wearing official robes, it was the superintendent of the imperial history Lin Zixiong and his colleagues.

Lin Zixiong couldn't stop sneering, pointed at Zhang Tongzhi and said, "Okay, you two actually dare to bend the law in broad daylight, what else do you have to say?"

Zhang Tongzhi and Yu Tiju were very nervous, but they immediately calmed down and quickly covered up and said that the money was their tax payment, and there was nothing corrupt about it.

Lin Zixiong sneered and said, "Do you think you can hide the past like this? Let me tell you, just now my colleagues and I hid in this cabinet in your room. We have all heard what you just said, and the reason why we have waited until now is to catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, so you just wait and go to prison. ”

As soon as they heard this, Zhang Tongzhi and Yu Tiju suddenly looked like ashes, and they couldn't make a sound.

Soon, the punishment of the imperial court came down, and Zhang Tongzhi and Yu Tiju were both removed from their posts and investigated. Since then, the Yu family in the capital has been completely finished.
