In the dark secret room, a man dressed in ordinary clothes turned his back to the door of the secret room, his hands were shrunk in his sleeves, slightly bent over, standing quietly in place, a pair of bright eyes staring at the flat ground of the secret room in a stunned manner, speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but the door of the secret room slowly opened, and there was another figure in the room.

"Still so careless, not at all," the man just came in, and he gave a good lesson to the person standing in the secret room, but the man seemed to be used to it, turned around, smiled at the visitor, and said: "Big brother, can you not count me down every time you meet, you know, if I didn't have no choice, I wouldn't have come here to find you in person!"

The person who came was not an outsider, it was really the left capital of the Inspectorate, Yu Shitian Kangbang.

Tian Kangbang straightened his sleeves, walked quickly to the front of the hall, sat on the mahogany Taishi chair on the left, poured himself a cup of tea, the tea lid gently rubbed the edge of the teacup, took a sip gently, from beginning to end, his eyes were just focused on the teacup, as if he had forgotten that there was another person in the room.

The person who came seemed to know his eldest brother's temperament very well, so when Tian Kangbang sat there drinking tea slowly, the person was still standing there, looking at his nose and nose, and he did not show any hectic and anxious posture.

Naturally, he was still anxious in his heart, but he knew that his eldest brother would never stand by and watch his own affairs, so no matter how calm Natian Kangbang was, he had no intention of urging.

"Yu Fang, you are a member of the imperial court, and you are not allowed to return to Beijing at will without a will, do you know that if this matter is exposed, it will be a big crime!" Tian Kangbang said: "Even if it is me, I can't protect you!"

"Big brother, you're laughing again," the man said, "Even if you can't keep me, isn't there a prime minister on it?" He just received 200,000 taels of silver from me some time ago, so much money is not taken for nothing, right?"

Tian Kangbang glanced at him, his tone was a little calmer, and said: "Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, you don't always expect that the prime minister can maneuver for you when something happens, you must know that the prime minister's head, after all, there is still His Majesty Shengde, one day if we can't cover us, it is inevitable that we will be abandoned to protect the handsome, such a thing, it has happened in all dynasties, take history as a mirror, in order to live a long time!"

"What the eldest brother said is true!" The man held up a long voice, saluted Tian Kangbang again, and said: "However, Li Yanxi, this kid will not die for a day, and my heart will be uneasy for a day after all!"

Tian Kangbang said: "Recently, the trend of land annexation in the dynasty has become more and more popular, although I suppressed Li Yanxi's walking, but His Majesty the Emperor is not a fool, although I don't know where he learned about it, but some things that should not have reached his ears are still known to him." ”

"What?" the man was shocked, "Do you mean that His Majesty already knows what we have done?"

Tian Kangbang frowned slightly, waved his hand, signaled him to be quiet, and then continued: "You don't have to worry too much, although His Majesty the Emperor has noticed something, but he doesn't have any substantial evidence in his hand, and secondly, he doesn't have an accurate list, so you don't have to worry, this matter, so far I can't find you!"

"That's fine!" the man said: "However, those Xuanyi guards in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor are not vegetarians, even if they can't find me now, it doesn't mean that I can sit back and relax, as long as they check slowly, they can also find me!"

"Are you a pig?" Tian Kangbang said coldly while drinking tea: "Haven't they found it yet, won't you take some dark steps to sell those fields to others?"

"Yes!" the man's eyes lit up, he sighed, and said excitedly: "This hot potato, just throw it to others, why am I so stupid?"

Tian Kangbang raised his head slightly, glanced at his younger brother with slanted eyes, and said angrily: "Hey, you're not stupid, you're smart!"

"Oh, what a smart method, please teach the eldest brother!"

Tian Kangbang said: "Do you think you can hide your thoughts from me?"

"I don't understand, big brother, what do you mean by that?" the man still looked unsalty.

Tian Kangbang said: " Still pretend to be garlic with me, you are dignified in the history of a state thorn, how much land under your hands does not need to be said, even if it changes hands, it is definitely a big deal, such a big movement, even if others do not check, it will not be long before it will be spread, in the locality, you are the lord of a state, there is naturally no problem with pressing this matter, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, if there is any wind to reach the ears of others, it is not surprising, when the time comes, I still want to block the way of speech, do not let this matter reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor？”

The man's eyes lit up, and he bent down again and saluted, "Big brother is wise!"

"Gotta get it!" Tian Kangbang waved his hand and said: "Don't you slap my ass anymore, I can't stand it, every time something good happens, you say you, how good it is to be a soil emperor in Liangzhou to enjoy happiness in peace and stability, the emperor is far away, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, Liangzhou is your Yiyantang, how comfortable and comfortable you are, I envy it, why do you keep tossing and tossing around?"

The man said: "Big brother, you like stability, but I'm different, let's go through this world, if we haven't experienced anything exciting in this life, how boring it should be, not to mention that there is a big brother you and the prime minister are covered, as long as it's not too out of line, it doesn't matter if you want to come." ”

"You're out of line?" Tian Kangbang only felt that his lungs were about to explode, and sneered: " The money and food for disaster relief you are greedy for a little ink, greedy once, enough for you to go out and spend more than ten years, what is not satisfied, even the money of the Lianghe dam has to be deducted, do you know, Liangzhou ten years and nine droughts, all with the water of the Lianghe River to save lives, you see, you look at what kind of people you are looking for, cut corners, a good century-old dam, after the construction is stunned, it has not even lasted ten years and collapsed, this is good, Xuzhou City was flooded, countless people died, and the water source for irrigation in the downstream arid areas is not enough, if it weren't for me and the prime minister to try their best to press things down for you, do you think the head on your shoulder is still there？”

"I didn't expect it either," the man said with some grievances: "I gave all the business to Boss Zhu to do, and I didn't miss a cent of the money I should give him, who knew he would dare to do this?"

"Boss Zhu?" Tian Kangbang said, "Is that the pickled Zhu?"

Speaking of this, Tian Kangbang's anger didn't come to one place, and sneered: "Do you know who Boss Zhu is? That's a money fan, a madman, that person has lost money in his life and can't get out, you believe him, why don't you believe in ghosts?"

"You can't say that," the man said with some resistance: "Big brother, don't underestimate that Boss Zhu, my silver, when I went into Boss Zhu's money village, it was one tael, and when I came out, it was two taels," As he spoke, the man stretched out two fingers and put them in front of him, and said, "If it weren't for this Boss Zhu all these years, where would I have so much money to honor my brother and the prime minister?"

Tian Kangbang was slightly suffocated, but said again: "But now that you have fallen into this field, the person surnamed Zhu will come to help you with half a point?"

"Not really," said the man, "he ran away as soon as it happened, probably because he was afraid that I would settle accounts with him, right?"

Tian Kangbang sneered: "Don't look at you as the biggest official above the boundary of Liangzhou, but the one surnamed Zhu is the real head snake, his family started here two or three hundred years ago, until now, the secret strength is all over Liangzhou, but it is not better than you at all, do you still think that he is really afraid of you, people just don't want to go against His Majesty the Emperor, so he quietly hid, cunning rabbit three holes, I think, now your people probably can't find his whereabouts, right?"

"Big brother is wise. The man's hands trembled slightly, and his face looked a little unsightly, and said, "My person really can't contact the person surnamed Zhu anymore!"

Tian Kangbang said: "Although the Liangzhou Dam was actually built by Boss Zhu, but the person who built it was you, as soon as he ran, this responsibility completely fell on you, you look at you, now you are in a state of burnt clothes, but Boss Zhu, I don't know where to live happily now!

"So what should I do now?" said the man.

"What should I do?" Tian Kangbang sneered: "Find a substitute for the dead ghost, what else can you do?" The Zhu family is not so active, and you do have a lot to rely on them in the future, after all, as you said, only if the Zhu family is still in Liangzhou, you can live so comfortably, those underground they opened. The multiple of the money bank's usury is much higher than your two, what you earn from others is just a drop in the bucket, and people don't lack your money, but it is just to give you face and be a favor, although we have eaten the secret loss of the Zhu family this time, but after the rumors have passed, we still have to rely on them, so you had better not take this matter to heart, let alone think about bringing this evil breath back from the Zhu family, how you treated them before, and how you still treat them now, but you always have to pay more attention to him when you contact him in the future, otherwise you will be sold by someone else, you know?"

"Well, thank you for the teachings of the eldest brother, I see!" the man said respectfully.

To say that the real power and power in his hands, in fact, the power in his hands is greater than the big brother in front of him, after all, in the local area, the influence of the Lord of the Week's Assassin History is unique, here, he is the Emperor of the Earth, he can do whatever he wants, but the Zuodu Imperial History is different, staying in the capital all day long, people who are bigger than their own officials are not extinct, and there is an emperor His Majesty who will be seen every day in the court above his head, everything needs to be carefully considered, and it is not like his younger brother who can do whatever he wants。

Tian Kangbang said angrily: "You have been smarter than me since I was a child, where can I teach you, but because you put most of those thoughts elsewhere, you just need to pay a little attention, think more, be cautious, I have nothing to teach you, maybe, in the future, I, as a big brother, still need you to shelter?"

The man smiled and patted his chest and said: "What did the eldest brother say, you are now a legitimate person around the prime minister, who can make you so depressed that you need me to take refuge, besides, we brothers share weal and weal together, we have experienced so many things over the years, what else is there to see, my Thorn Mansion, if the eldest brother wants to live in the future, just live in it!"

Tian Kangbang just smiled, but there was a sad look in his eyes.

He looked at his brother's familiar smiling face, and said in his heart: "If that time really comes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to protect yourself, and you won't be able to protect me!"

It's just that he still didn't say this to his brother after all.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, although this matter is covered by the prime minister, but recently, first His Majesty the Emperor Shengde became suspicious for some reason, and then the fourteenth prince was sent to the Inspectorate to supervise and interrogate, I thought that they had prepared well enough, so even if Li Yanxi jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash away his grievances, but now, the direction of things is almost completely changing in the opposite direction they expected.

Instead of being killed by their people, Li Yanxi hid his martial arts that could be among the top masters, and successfully rescued his mother and sister, which made their two-handed layout almost all come to naught.

Although Li Yanxi is still in the prison cell, now, whether it is Tian Kangbang or the prime minister himself, it is clear that unless more than three super-first-class masters come to besiege and kill, it is almost impossible to kill Li Yanxi, who has always thought that he was a sick scholar.

originally thought it was a soft persimmon that could be ravaged at will, but in the end, I realized that I had really kicked an iron plate.

These days, Tian Kangbang's mansion has had a lot of thugs, guards, and even the number of people patrolling the mansion has doubled, just because he is afraid.

For a super-first-class master, escaping from the prison is really a very easy thing, not to mention escaping, even if it is to let them break the iron rope, forcibly break the prison door, and then kill all the way, it is not a big problem.

He framed him like this, if that Li Yanxi was resentful and wanted to kill him, would these people in his mansion be able to bear it?

The answer, of course, is no.

Even the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been arranged in advance, that person could come and go freely, so if Li Yanxi wanted to kill him, his head would definitely not be able to stay on his shoulder for a few more moments.

Of course, Tian Kangbang didn't know that he was really a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Jiang Ning never had the intention of killing him from beginning to end.

There are so many people in the Inspectorate, killing a Tian Kangbang, and a Chu Kangbang, Wang Kangbang, and they can't be killed, only by clearly proving that they are innocent in the Inspectorate, so that they can walk in this fantasy world openly and unhindered, and that kind of mysterious power that can strip away their own perception is clearly hidden in Tian Kangbang's mansion, which is undoubtedly a signal for Jiang Ning, the opportunities he pursued in this world are closely related to the fate of Li Yanxi himself, maybe after killing Tian Kangbang, Jiang Ning can still find the opportunity he wants in the mansion of Zuodu Yushi, but after Tian Kangbang's line is broken, if he wants to find similar strength elsewhere, I am afraid that it will not be easy, a main line is broken, and the entire network will be shattered. And those things that are hidden in the depths of the grid are naturally not easy to find.

Tian Kangbang can die, but he must be because Emperor Shengde is dissatisfied with his insidious and vicious style, and he hates it, so he kills him, but it can't be him Jiang Ning who directly broke in and killed him with a sword.

killed Tian Kangbang, and the cause and effect practiced on Tian Kangbang and Li Yanxi was broken, and when the cause was decisive, the opportunity naturally disappeared.

After hiding behind the rockery and listening to the conversation between the two servants, Jiang Ning appeared out, jumped to the top of the building, stood on the slope of the lower forehead, and with the help of this rare open sight, searched aimlessly in Tian Kangbang's entire mansion.

In the end, Jiang Ning's gaze fell on a plum tree.

Every time, when he landed his gaze on that plum tree, Jiang Ning could see it clearly, but every time he was turned around or looked away directly, Jiang Ning could only sense emptiness at the place of that plum tree.

After seven or eight repeated confirmations, Jiang Ning knew that the thing he was going to find was this plum tree.

"If I remember correctly, I came out of this corridor that night, past the backyard, and came to this neighborhood, and if Xu Sanhui happened to be under the plum tree at the time, I was not aware of his presence. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Ning's figure turned into a cloud of green smoke, and suddenly appeared under the plum tree, and a few sword qi went down, and the plum blossoms fell, and they were all caught in his hand by Jiang Ning's ethereal figure under a rotation.

"It's a pity that there is no hot water, and you can't make tea!"

Jiang Ning smiled lightly and swallowed those plum blossoms straight into his stomach!
