402.
Ren Xiaoyao was so frightened by the scene just now that he was sweating a little, and his heart was even a little weak, just now such a large piece of Duan Yan flew over, thanks to his talent for escaping, otherwise the flag would have been lowered at half-mast for him in front of the palace in the capital......
"Sister Yizhen, you have to control your emotions, can we say something good......"
Han Zhu grabbed Han Yizhen's hands tightly, and kept nodding when he heard the words, he was also scared out of an old sweat, a room full of rare treasures, he would feel distressed for several years if he smashed a few things, but fortunately he stopped his daughter in time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Han Zhu blurted out without thinking about the psychology of feeling sorry for the room full of babies: "That's it, Zhen'er, what Ren Xian's nephew said is very reasonable, you really want to fight, you go out to fight, don't break the things in the old man's study......"
"Yes, yes, yes...... Yes? β
Ren Xiaoyao was dumbfounded when he heard this, this ...... Is this old man talking in human terms?
Originally, I had a good impression of Old Man Han, but at this time, Ren Xiaoyao only felt that the Han family was hateful, from old to young, none of them were normal.
"Poof!"
Han Yizhen, who was glaring at Ren Xiaoyao angrily just now, saw Ren Xiaoyao's stunned expression, somehow, suddenly laughed, and there were two lines of crystal tears on his pretty face.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Han Yizhen's smile, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes gradually became obsessed.
Han Yizhen saw Ren Xiaoyao's face, hurriedly put away his smiling face, snorted in extreme disgust, and his pretty face quickly became stiff.
Seeing that his daughter had finally regained her composure, Han Zhu couldn't help but let go of her hand, and then looked at Ren Yao and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, the old man and his daughter have no responsibility, so the virtuous nephew is a joke." I'm so ashamed. β
After taking a few deep breaths, Han Yizhen completely returned to normal at this time, and reason began to dominate her behavior again.
No matter how big the hatred between her and Ren Xiaoyao is, she can't offend him at this time, Ren Xiaoyao is a Qincha, it is said that in the capital, it may be impossible for him to clean up the entire Jiangnan family, but if he only cleans up the Han family, it must not be too difficult, not to mention that in Ren Xiaoyao's heart, maybe the Han family is still involved in the Jiangnan tax case, and he needs to act calmly.
"Lord Ren, the folk girl lost her temper just now, and she was offended, so please don't worry about the folk girl."
Enduring the hatred and disgust for Ren Xiaoyao, Han Yizhen Yingying saluted him, as if he had completely forgotten the "flirtation" and "Spring Palace Picture" just now.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at her in disbelief, and said cautiously: "It's not necessary to worry about you, but ...... You won't lose your temper again later, will you? The first time can be called a gaffe, and the second time should be called crazy......"
Swish!
Han Yizhen's murderous gaze glared at him fiercely, with a charming smile on his face, but his tone seemed to grit his teeth: "The adults are too worried, how dare the people dare to offend the adults again......"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at her smile and shook her body involuntarily.
Damn it! This is laughing so badly! Could it be that she plans to "lose her temper" again?
Ren Xiaoyao turned his head and didn't look at her, although he didn't say a word, but his secret pouting expression was unfortunately seen by Han Yizhen again, Han Yizhen was secretly angry, and quietly clenched his fists again......
Han Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were no longer arguing, so he smiled and said, "A little misunderstanding, it's okay if you open it, hehe, the virtuous nephew is frightened." β
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at Han Yizhen, and smiled maliciously, little girl, I will also frighten you one day, no, fertilization!
Back to the topic, Han Zhu said: "Virtuous nephew, the old man invited you to come here today, there is something that must be explained clearly to the virtuous nephew." The virtuous nephew is investigating the Jiangnan tax case, but there are many rumors in Beijing, saying that the family in Jiangnan is greatly involved in the tax case, which may be true, but what the old man wants to explain to you today is that my Han family has nothing to do with the tax case......
Ren Xiaoyao blinked and said with a smile: "Han Shibo is serious, I don't have to pay attention to what the people in the capital say, I only believe what I see." When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I didn't understand a lot of things, I have to take my time to investigate the case, of course I want to believe that the Han family is innocent, but after everything has to be investigated, I can draw conclusions, not in vain, even if it is the principle of handling the case, the emperor entrusted me with such an important matter, I can't live up to the emperor's trust, Han Shibo, what do you say? β
Han Zhu's expression froze, and he quickly exchanged glances with Han Yizhen.
The meaning of Ren Xiaoyao's words is very clear: Is your Han family involved in the tax case, does the rumors in the capital count, does it not count if you say the head of the Han family, who has the final say? After Ren Daqin's personal investigation, it was up to him to decide.
Ren Xiaoyao's words were very tactful, neither offended anyone, nor made a conclusion, like an official tone, it seemed that he had said a lot, but if you look carefully, there is no substantive content in these words, and if you say it, it means that you haven't said it.
Han Zhu and Han Yizhen glanced at each other, their expressions a little helpless. What can they do when they encounter such an officialdom little oilman? You can't choke his neck and force him to believe that the Han family is innocent, right?
Ren Xiaoyao was also a little strange in his heart, how could the head of the Han family think that he doubted them? Knowing that this case is very tricky, after going down to Jiangnan, who he suspects and who he believes, he naturally knows it in his heart, but he has never mentioned it to anyone, where did the Han family's inexplicable worry come from?
Han Yizhen glanced at Han Zhu, a little hesitation flashed in her beautiful eyes, she bit her lip, thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Lord Ren, the Han family is indeed innocent in the tax case, if you don't believe it, we can't do anything." In order to help the adults find out about this case as soon as possible, I, the Han family, am willing to help the adults to show the sincerity and innocence of the Han family......"
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at Han Yizhen and said with a smile: "The Han family is willing to reach out to help, that's the best, I don't know what kind of hand Miss Han is referring to?" β
Han Yizhen looked at Han Zhu again, hesitated for a long time, sighed faintly, frowned deeply, and said, "Lord Ren, if the adults have no clues in this case, the Han family may be able to help the adults find a breakthrough......
For the sake of the family, when the son is abandoned, the son must be abandoned, compared with the nearly 1,000 lives of the Han family, how pale and powerless is the decades-long friendship between the father and Uncle Li Shi......
"What breakthrough?"
"Suzhou Prefect ......"
"Really! Shut up! Are you going to force the old man to be the unrighteous man? Han Zhu was furious and took the case.
Han Yizhen stared at Han Zhu without flinching, and said lightly: "Could it be that my father can't bear to have thousands of lives in my Han family to accompany Uncle Li Shishu to the funeral?" Bear to see my Jiangnan Han family removed from this world from now on? β
Han Zhu was startled, his face suddenly aged a lot, and his face became pale and hollow.
Ren Xiaoyao saw the scene in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a good drama where loyalty and righteousness can't be both, but, Han Shibo, you don't have to worry about betraying your friends, Li Boyan, as the prefect of Suzhou, had an affair with the tax and silver case of the six prefectures in Jiangnan, even if you don't say it, we already knew it when we were in the capital, to tell the truth, I went to Jiangnan this time, and chose Suzhou as the first stop, in order to have a good chat with this Li prefect......"
The father and daughter of the Han family were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Ren Xiaoyao in disbelief, feeling a burst of horror in their hearts.
originally thought that Ren Xiaoyao going to Jiangnan was just a temporary arrangement of the new emperor, but he never thought that Jingzhong had already prepared, and even this detail had been clearly explored.
Han Zhu felt a little cold, in this way, Li Boyan's future and life are worried, since Ren Xiaoyao came prepared, then whether he let go of Li Boyan or not, it really can only rely on the likes and dislikes of this Lord Qincha, even including his Han family......
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the surprised expressions of the Han family's father and daughter with a smile, and felt a little proud.
"The imperial court is not as wasted as you imagined, when the emperor is determined to do a good job, he supports him behind him, but the strength of the whole country, investigating a small case, is naturally not a problem. In the past, the reason why many government decrees were not implemented smoothly was mainly because there were too many traitors and ministers in the court, from which they obstructed fishing profits, procrastinated, derelicted duty, begged for red envelopes, and robbed together, especially some important ministers of the court, who held great power but only knew how to ask for benefits for themselves, could not share the worries of the emperor, could not be sympathetic to the people, and were greedy for silver and lustful, they were really the best among the scum, and the vanguard among the scum......"
Han Yizhen looked at Ren Xiaoyao's foaming and gushing appearance, and couldn't help frowning, pursed his lips, and said, "...... How do I think you're talking about yourself? β
Ren Yao was suffocated: "......"
Half a day.
"Hey, didn't you talk about the case? How did it get to the imperial court? Don't go off-topic, have a serious meeting! β
Han Yizhen snorted softly, you yourself are involved in the imperial court, what does it matter to us? This Qincha is so unreasonable, I really don't know how he got to this high position.
Han Zhu paused and said, "Since Ren Xian's nephew is prepared, do you know that there is a deeper inside story behind this case?" β
Ren Xiaoyao frowned: "Insider? What the insider? Is there a picture? Is there a truth? β
Han Zhu said in a deep voice: "Li Boyan was indeed involved in the case, and the old man didn't dare to excuse him, but Li Boyan was forced and held hostage, so he had to do it as a last resort. β
Ren Xiaoyao perked up when he heard this, he said so much nonsense today, and it was finally useful. Before going to Jiangnan, he vaguely suspected that there must be an inside story behind this case, and the head of the Han family, Lao Cheng, was serious, and if he was not sure, he would not say nonsense.
"By whom was he compelled?"
Han Zhu shook his head and said: "This old man doesn't know, in fact, the virtuous nephew will know if he investigates deeply, the Jiangnan tax case, the prefects of the six prefectures, including Li Boyan, are all involved, this case has one thing in common, that is, tampering with the account books, deceiving the upper and lower, and the old man guessed that the rest of the prefects of the five prefectures suffered the same as Li Boyan, without knowing it, the official seal and private seal were stolen, so that the accounts of the yamen were short, and then these prefects tampered with the account books in a hurry to protect the official position, and were taken by others, so they could only be at the mercy of others, sinking deeper and deeper......"
"What does Han Shibo mean, this case is the same person manipulating the prefect of Liufu behind his back?"
Han Zhu nodded uncertainly, shook his head again, pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The old man is just the head of the family, and what he said just now is only the old man's personal judgment, as for whether he is wrong, the old man does not dare to guarantee it, everything is up to the virtuous nephew to find out." β
Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and groaned: "Who has such a great ability to dare to hijack and manipulate the prefect of the Six Mansions?" They are all dignified officials of the imperial court, not ordinary people who have no power or power......"
"The people behind the scenes are very hidden, and the old man thinks that maybe this case is not as simple as embezzlement of ink and taxes......
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Han Zhu and said, "Han Shibo has other opinions, can you teach the little nephew?" β
Han Zhu's humble attitude towards Ren Xiaoyao was very useful, and when he heard this, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew might as well think about it further, since he dares to hold the prefect of the Six Prefectures hostage, this person must have a very large force in Jiangnan, this kind of thing cannot be done by ordinary Jianghu strong people, since he has such a big power and is greedy for so much silver, what does he want silver?" There must be a bigger scheme, hehe, after being rich and powerful, what else does he dare not do? Even including ......"
Han Zhu suddenly stopped talking, but just smiled deeply.
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked: "What does Shibo mean is that he wants to rebel?" β
Han Yizhen snorted coldly, and said angrily: "What do you say? With such lawless means, he has made so much silver, it is impossible to use it to give him a peaceful old age, right? β
Ren Xiaoyao frowned and glanced at Han Yizhen, and said angrily: "Maybe he made money to buy murder......
"Kill whom?"
"Kill his wife who has a beautiful mouth but is very poisonous......"
"You...... You ......" Han Yizhen was once again successfully provoked by Ren Xiaoyao, pointing at Ren Xiaoyao angrily, wanting to scold but not knowing how to scold him.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and continued: "My wife generally affectionately calls me a bastard, but you can't call me that." β
"Why?" Han Yizhen said angrily, "bastard", this word is really suitable for the bastard in front of him.
"Because this is my wife's exclusive nickname, except for my wife, outsiders can't call ...... casually"
"I'll just call it, what's wrong? Bastard! β
In front of Ren Xiaoyao, Han Yizhen's previous calmness and etiquette seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only anger and fighting intent.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at her, looked at her figure very rudely, and then pouted: "My wife still touches me casually, can you?" β
This bastard has a knack for pissing people off to death......
"Suffer death!"
Sou! An unknown hidden weapon was issued.
"I'm flash! Hey, it didn't hit! β
"Ahh The old man's Hanmei Aoxue Tu-"
The study room was another burst of chickens and dogs......
After a while, the study returned to calm.
Han Zhu's face twitched, he deeply felt that it was a big mistake to invite Ren Xiaoyao to come to the study to talk, how good it would be if it was changed in the front hall, anyway, the valuable things in the front hall were smashed clean by Han Yizhen, and he could let this pair of enemies play freely......
"Virtuous nephew, ......" Han Zhu sighed, sped up his speech, and hurriedly finished talking about the matter and sent off the guests, otherwise he didn't know how many treasures he would destroy in his study.
ββ¦β¦ This case seems simple, but in fact it is dangerous, the virtuous nephew is careful in everything, the old man invited the virtuous nephew to come today, is to show you the attitude of the Han family, the virtuous nephew is in Jiangnan, but there is an order, the Han family will never shirk, and will devote the whole clan to help you. β
Ren Xiaoyao heard this, and there was a question that lingered in his mind for a long time, and after thinking about it, he finally asked: "Han Shibo, I have never understood, why is the Han family so concerned about this case?" And so much to help me? As the saying goes, no profit can't afford to ...... early Ahem, it's too straightforward, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch...... The little nephew is stupid, and he can't figure out what the Han family's intentions are......"
Intention? If you don't suspect that the Han family has something to do with this case, can we be guilty of rushing to stick your cold ass? The father and daughter of the Han family secretly thought in their hearts at the same time.
Han Yizhen couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's not to prove the innocence of my Han family. β
"Huh? Why? Ren Yao was stunned.
Han Yizhen raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "If you don't suspect that the Han family is related to the tax case, why should we help you?" β
"Huh? I...... When did I suspect the Han family? Miss Han, you're not sick, are you? β
Han Yizhen said angrily: "You are sick!" If you didn't suspect the Han family, why did you rob my Han family's goods? Aren't you here for the Han family? β
"Poof-ahem-ahem-"
Ren Xiaoyao choked on his own saliva, coughed so red that he almost lost his breath......
Mistakes, mistakes......
Personal interests are above all else.
This is Ren Xiaoyao's values, very narrow, but very practical.
You can say that he is selfish and selfish, and you can scold him for not being noble enough, but you can't deny that after throwing away those worthless "noble morals", he has gained real benefits.
Shili is the Han family's batch of red goods worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
So at that time, at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, although Ren Xiaoyao was a little worried that the family in Jiangnan would not be able to provoke him, but under the desire for profit, he still ordered to rob the Han family's batch of red goods. This move is not aimed at the Han family, Ren Xiaoyao only has that batch of goods in his eyes, as for whether this batch of goods is the Zhang family or the Li family, he can't care, he only knows that the red goods are his own family in the end.
Now it seems that the decision at that time actually had the effect of being wrong, it was originally just a simple robbery, but in the eyes of the Han family, it became a far-sighted and meaningful action of Lord Qincha, so that the Han family chose to move closer to the court and Ren Xiaoyao after weighing the pros and cons......
Ren Yaoyao was stunned for a long time, and after figuring out the details of this matter, he couldn't help grinning.
Han Yizhen had been observing Ren Xiaoyao's expression, and when he saw Ren Xiaoyao suddenly laughing, he couldn't help frowning: "What are you laughing at?" β
"No, the Han family is willing to help me, I'm very happy, I'm smiling with joy, look, handsome with joy, what a sunny young man......"
Han Yizhen was still staring at Ren Xiaoyao tightly: "No, you are smiling so obscene and ugly, there must be something wrong......"
Ren Xiaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to this unaesthetic woman.
Clarification?
Of course not! Will be calculated, it is his personality to fight snakes and sticks, inexplicably robbed a batch of goods, and inexplicably more Han family, a family as allies, if after clarifying this matter, what if they don't help themselves? Clarify? What a fool can do! This is the difference between people, some people only look at the present, there are choices, but Ren Xiaoyao doesn't care about 3721, regardless of whether it is useful to him, first grasp it in his hands and then say, this kind of market mentality of taking advantage of the market, sometimes it is quite effective.
So it's not for nothing that Ren Xiaoyao can get to his current high position, it's the same car, the old cow can only pull the cart, but the old man can push the cart.
Ren Xiaoyao likes to be an old man.
Clearing his throat, Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the father and daughter of the Han family, and then said with a straight face: "Han Shibo, since you have spoken out, I will not hide it, well, yes, at first I did suspect that your Han family colluded with the prefect of Suzhou to swallow the tax money......"
Han Yizhen said angrily: "There is no such thing! Our Han family is innocent! β
Ren Xiaoyao glared at her sharply, he has been in a high position for a long time, although he usually has no positive shape, but his eyes are glared, and he naturally shows his official authority, although Han Yizhen is smart and wise, but after all, he is only an eighteen-year-old girl, and he was suddenly a little scared when he was stared at by Ren Xiaoyao, and he shrank back unconsciously, and then realized that he had lost face, and snorted stupidly, and stopped talking.
Very good, to achieve the effect, to close the work.
Ren Xiaoyao retracted his sharp gaze, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the Han family is innocent, but I am willing to believe that the Han family is innocent, and the Han family helps me, this merit is not small, I will report to the court and make a contribution to your Han family." β
Han Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "So the old man thanked the virtuous nephew on behalf of the Han family, as for Li Boyan, he and the old man have been old friends for many years, he was coerced by others and forced to do illegal things, the old man will persuade him well, and fully cooperate with the virtuous nephew to find out the case, hoping to make up for it at that time." And also...... The Han family has a few roots in Jiangnan, from today on, the Han family will share all the light and dark news in Jiangnan with the virtuous nephew, if the virtuous nephew has any difficulties, just find the branch of the Han family's firm in any city in the south of the Yangtze River, and someone will try their best to meet all your requirements......"
Ren Xiaoyao was also overjoyed when he heard this, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, no matter how strong the shadow is, but after all, it is not as good as the more than 100-year-old power established by the Han family in Jiangnan, with the help of the Han family, the head snake, the trip to Jiangnan may be much easier.
"Whatever?" Ren Xiaoyao asked happily.
Han Zhu nodded solemnly and said, "Whatever you ask." β
"Great!" Ren Xiaoyao clapped his hands happily: "I want all the money in their store to be handed over, okay?" β
Han Zhu is full of black lines: "......"
Han Yizhen hated itchy, this scoundrel! Could it be that you are addicted to robbing my Han family?
There was a sound of bangzi outside, and the father and daughter of the Han family were talking, and before they knew it, it was time for one watch.
Han Zhu looked at the sky and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew came from the capital from afar, and he was dusty, so why don't you disperse and rest well, how about it?" β
Ren Xiaoyao opened his big mouth and yawned without any image, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I talked to Han Shibo today, my little nephew has benefited a lot, and when I have time, my little nephew still wants to talk to Shibo more to increase my experience." β
Han Zhu said with a smile: "If the virtuous nephew doesn't dislike it, it's better to live in the cold house tonight, next to the mountain building where the little girl lives, there are still several small buildings, if you talk about elegance, it's not worse than the Qincha Pavilion." β
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, ho, right next to Han Yizhen? It's close...... I don't know if she will take a shower tonight, and I don't know if she likes to sleep naked...... It is no wonder that many travelers rushed to invent this invention and that as soon as they passed through, it seems that it is indeed necessary to invent a telescope today......
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, the little nephew will live in the uncle's house tonight, hehe, you and I are friends of the world, how can the little nephew see the uncle?"
Han Zhu rolled his eyes secretly, this should be up to me, right?
At that moment, Han Zhu sent someone in, leading Ren Xiaoyao to go to the small building to rest, Ren Xiaoyao just stepped out of the threshold of the study, and then heard Han Yizhen behind him say coldly: "Wait a minute, since our Han family has tried our best to help you, the goods you robbed my Han family should be returned, right?" β
"Bang!"
Ren Xiaoyao stepped into the air and hit his head on the door frame.
"Oops!"
"Oops what! In the end, it will not be returned? β
Ren Xiaoyao rubbed his forehead, his eyes rolled wildly, and he still wanted me to spit out what he ate into Lao Tzu's mouth? This girl is too stupid and naΓ―ve......
"That shipment...... Ren Xiaoyao frowned and began to groan: "That shipmentβ"
"How?"
"The shipment ......"
Under the expectant gaze of the Han family's father and daughter, Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin, half-closed his eyes, and thought with a solemn expression, groaned, and finally walked away until he disappeared......
Han Yizhen clenched his fists tightly, and his beautiful eyes almost erupted with fire.
This guy ...... Is he still human? How can you play a scoundrel to this point?
"Daddy! This person he ......" Han Yizhen was annoyed, turned his head to Han Zhu and said, "Why do you say that the Han family wants to do their best to help him?" If other families in Jiangnan are really involved in the tax case, wouldn't this move put my Han family in a hostile position with other families? At that time, if the imperial court can't do anything about them, this case will not be resolved, and our Han family's situation in Jiangnan will be very difficult in the future. β
Han Zhu smiled: "Zhen'er, this case can be said to be the first major case after the new emperor ascended the throne, whether it is Liwei or paving the way for the future foundation of the world, this case will not allow the emperor and the court to be dealt with, otherwise the royal face will be disgraced, the majesty will not be restored, how will the world be ordered in the future?" Therefore, my father believes that this time the imperial court will not lose, the family in Jiangnan has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and it is a faint threat to the rule of the emperor and the imperial court in the capital, and it is time to take a halt, since my Han family is at the right time, of course, I can't miss this great opportunity to develop the family, and it is the wisest choice to move closer to the imperial court. Zhen'er, with your intelligence, you won't be unable to understand this truth. β
Han Yizhen thought about it and was silent, but he was quite skeptical in his heart.
Could it be that Daddy really had so much faith in that ruffian-like fellow? What the hell is that guy's strength?

Another mansion in the north of Suzhou City.
The house is inconspicuous, in a remote and dark corner, it looks like a very ordinary and ordinary people's house, and even looks a little shabby, outsiders passing by the door, will definitely not be interested in taking a second look.
The layout of the house is also very ordinary, there is an old locust tree planted in the middle of the courtyard, there is a patio under the tree, and then go inside, is the front hall, the empty front hall only hangs a thick curtain from the middle, nothing else, the walls around the front hall are slightly shabby. The whole mansion looked like an ugly-looking woman, blended into a large group of ugly-looking women, and there was nothing conspicuous at all.
Yang Cheng honestly knelt in the middle of the front hall, his body trembling involuntarily, he was suffering from the anger of his master like a raging storm.
"Jiaxing prefect Li Huaide is not dead? Yang Cheng, what are you going to do? The master's voice was as eerie as ever, cold to the marrow.
Yang Cheng slammed his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Subordinates should be damned!" After receiving the master's order, his subordinates immediately sent people with high skills to Jiaxing, who knows...... Li Huaide was protected by dozens of masters, and his subordinates lost their hands, and among the dozen or so people sent, only three or two of them came back alive......"
