Li Mansion, through the front yard, there is a heavy eaves roof building facing north and south, gray walls and black tiles, solemn atmosphere, lying on the ridge of the unicorn and other glazed beasts, this is where the reception hall is located.

In the hall, Li Yan sat on the right seat, holding a teacup in his hand, blowing a few times, and drinking it all.

On the right hand, Song San's huge body sank into the Taishi chair, and every time it shook, the chair would squeak in protest, and at his feet, there was the re-polished big knife.

The old Taoist priest, Wang Xiaoqi, sat on both sides.

The room was unusually silent, and everyone was silent, just because of Li Yan's momentary kindness, cutting the grass did not eradicate the roots, and once again brought the small team to the brink of death.

Originally.

On the night after He Yu's death, Li Yan asked Wang Xiaoqi to take thirty night pearls and a pair of autographed notes from Emperor Huizong to the flower eunuch, and rushed to Dongping Mansion overnight to bribe the prefect Chen Wenzhao.

Nominally, in order to get acquittal for Geng Da, Li Yan asked Wang Xiaoqi to probe Chen Wenzhao's mind and find out what follow-up arrangements this adult had for the death of Li Zhifu.

On the second day after Wang Xiaoqi arrived at Dongping Mansion, he was summoned by Chen Wenzhao, all thanks to the charm of the poster.

At first, things went more smoothly than expected, Chen Wenzhao couldn't put down the calligraphy, and there was an incomparably bright smile on his old face.

not only promised to release Geng Da, but also to confer Li Yan with the title of professor of Fuxue, the authority belongs to the director of the Municipal Education Bureau in the previous life, but in fact he is also a fictitious official in name only, which roughly means to commend Li Yan and move a good citizen medal or something.

However, when Wang Xiaoqi left the mansion with a happy face, a familiar figure came to him, this person was the son of Li Zhixian, the general judge of Dongping Mansion, Li Jun, and Li Yanei.

Seeing Li Yanei's look of seeing death as home, Wang Xiaoqi had a premonition that something was wrong, so he bought the little guy who led the way and asked him to eavesdrop on Li Yanei's conversation with the prefect.

After a while, the little guy hurried back, opened his mouth and said: Hurry up!

When Wang Xiaoqi got on the horse, the little guy briefly talked about Li Yanei's intentions.

"That guy brought a fake appointment document, and the framed was done by your family officials, and he also said that Li Zhixian's death was also killed by your family officials, let's go, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to run away."

After Wang Xiaoqi thanked the little guy again, he left Dongping Mansion without looking back, and did not dare to stop on the road, so he ran back to deliver the letter in one go.

Li Yan knew that the appointment document could deceive Li Zhixian, but it could not deceive Chen Zhifu.

Because, the imperial court ordered the Wupin magistrate to notify the highest local official, so no matter how realistic the appointment document was, Chen Wenzhao could still be sure that it was fake.

Compared with this crisis, the danger of the past is simply pediatric, whether it is Li Zhixian or He Yu, although they have the right and brains, they have no soldiers in their hands after all.

If you want to arrest Li Yan with those pampered floor washing officials, you have to ask Song San's big knife first.

But Chen Wenzhao is different, if he wants to destroy you Li Yan, it can't be easier, just give an order, let the Dongping Mansion garrison transfer 1,800 officers and soldiers, and you can also collapse your Li Mansion with your bare hands.

Just when everyone in the hall was at a loss, a person walked in outside the door, and as soon as this person entered the room, Li Yan immediately got up to greet him.

"Brother Chen, it's just in time."

The person who came was the leading scholar Chen He, who strangled the assassin with his bare hands that day and handed over a "military order" to Li Yan, and officially won Li Yan's trust.

Chen He bowed to everyone in the room and said, "You are all here, I have a happy event to share with you." ”

Li Yan was depressed, but when he saw Chen He's festive face, he was embarrassed to ruin his interest, so he forced out a smile and said, "It's rare to hear about happy events, hurry up and talk about it, let us be happy." ”

The old Taoist priest interjected weakly: "If Brother Tai writes something good, or hears a good poem, don't say such a boring thing." ”

"Master Dao's words are wrong, everyone has their own hobbies, brothers not only have to share weal and pain, but also have fun with brothers." Li Yan stopped the old Taoist priest.

Chen He sniffed out that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, the old Taoist priest recounted what happened, and Chen He laughed after hearing it.

"This is providential, if this happens a day earlier, I can only persuade the adults to flee quickly, but now ......" Chen He glanced at everyone with a smile, and suddenly sold the lawsuit.

Song San stretched his neck, and the pair of goldfish eyes were about to pop out, just waiting for him to say something good, but he stopped at the key place and didn't say anything, and immediately deflated:

"Damn, where is my knife, the most damn diaphragm should be said by your literati, and it is in a hurry."

In addition to Li Yan, the old Taoist priest and Wang Xiaoqi also shook their heads again and again, expressing dissatisfaction.

Chen He said slowly: "I heard that Liangshan has already divided its troops into two roads, attacking Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion at the same time, and the troops will come to the city in a few days, so the prefect is not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter as us at the moment, but the adults should take action at this time." ”

Li Yan was shocked after hearing this, and it seemed that he was still moving forward according to the plot in the Water Margin.

In the novel, Song Jiang led the troops to attack Dongping Mansion, and Lu Junyi led the troops to attack Dongchang Mansion, who broke the city first, who sat in the first place, but Song San won, if it continues like this, there is really no need to worry about Chen Wenzhao.

Thinking of this, Li Yan's mood immediately relaxed, and said: "It's really great news, I really have to thank Brother Chen, otherwise I would have been troubled by this matter for a long time, and now I am relaxed." ”

Chen He was stunned for a moment and said, "Shouldn't the adults take action?" ”

"Huh? What action? ”

"Echo the heroes of Liangshan, set up an anti-flag, recruit troops and buy horses, and take advantage of this troubled era to fight against the Zhao dynasty!"

What Chen He said was impassioned and full of incitement, which completely ignited the fire in the hearts of Song San and others, and they all stood up and echoed: Recruit troops and buy horses, do a big job!

Li Yan thought about it for a long time, after all, he was reborn with a memory, that is, he had a certain ability to predict the future, so he thought more than they thought.

When everyone's passion faded, they all looked at Li Yan with a look of anticipation.

"Brothers, sit down first, let me say, the luck of the Great Song Dynasty is not exhausted, and the time has not come, so it can't be done."

Li Yan splashed a basin of cold water, and everyone sighed,

Chen He said: "Why do you say this, the Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, and the officers and soldiers are slack, and the result of this battle has been decided." With the relationship between the adult and Liangshan, it is not impossible to use his power to achieve a hegemony. ”

"Brother Chen doesn't know, I have a financial relationship with Liangshan, do you think, then Li Yanei was arrested in Liangshan, how did he escape across the eight hundred miles of water?"

Li Yan paused, and then said: "There are two possibilities, the first is that he was taken out of Liangshan by Yan Qing and others, and took the opportunity to protect me to ask Li Zhixian for ransom, but it didn't come to pass, we killed Li Zhixian, so Li Yanei was useless to them, so he let Li Yanei go." ”

"The second type, they deliberately let go of Li Yanei, intending to force me to go to Liangshan, I don't know if you have heard the word, called forcing Liangshan, they have done this, and more than once."

"Of course, the second possibility is extremely unlikely, after all, I am not as famous as Lu Junyi and others, but I just have two stinky money."

Chen He hurriedly said: "It's not that the adults are attached to Liangshan, it's just to borrow this atmosphere, after all, with Liangshan in front, we have enough time to develop our strength." ”

Li Yan waved his hand and said casually: "Then Dongping Mansion Taishou Dong Ping will return to Liangshan in a few days, and after a while, Liangshan will be collectively edicted, then we may become the first target of Liangshan's suppression, so we must not rebel now." ”

Chen He squinted his eyes and wondered: "How did the adults determine that Dong Ping would return to Liangshan, and how did he determine that Liangshan would be Zhao'an?" ”

"This ......" Li Yan was careless for a while, and said it too surely, if it was a reckless man like Song San, he wouldn't be able to hear anything, but the thoughtful Chen He immediately noticed something unusual.

Li Yan hesitated, should he tell them about the crossing?
