Chapter 679: Secret Talk
In a deserted secret room in the south of the Yangtze River.
More than 20 people dressed in black robes and wrapped tightly sat according to their ranks, although they didn't speak out loud, but they almost engraved the four big words "I am a bad guy" on the door of their heads.
Whoever wears it like this in normal daylight is afraid that others won't know that you have a ghost in your heart, right?
There was a squeak of the door opening, and all the black-robed people stood up in unison and looked out the door.
Whether the look is respectful or disrespectful is only known by ghosts, who can see it with such a big black robe.
"See the Sect Master, see the Holy Envoy!"
"Sit down! You are all the right-hand men of this sect leader, don't be polite! â
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
The White Lotus Sect Leader glanced at everyone present through the dark eyes of the black robe: "What do you think of the situation reported by the brothers in the sect in the past few months?" Why did the army of the imperial court suddenly come down? This is completely contrary to our plan! â
"Sect Master, the brothers are also confused about this matter, originally according to the plan to sacrifice some minions to turn the army around, a month ago it was true, the army of the imperial court did drill into it completely according to our trap, but I didn't expect to suddenly order the army to be stationed!"
"Do you know why?"
"Sect Master, the brothers of the Douzi Department want to infiltrate the army of the imperial court to find out the situation, but those eagle dogs of the imperial court Long Wuwei and Xiaoguowei are completely like iron buckets, and the brothers are helpless!"
"Sect Master, my subordinates found that Liu Mingzhi, the commander of the army this time, seems to have discovered something wrong, he should have sensed that we were deliberately going around in circles with him!"
"That's right, sect master, this Liu Mingzhi Liu Gongzi is completely unworthy of the rumored gentleman's name, insidious and cunning, and he doesn't drill into the trap we designed at all."
"Sect Master, if you try your best not to let Liu Mingzhi be fooled, but you will lose thousands of brothers, it will be a big stimulus for those who have just joined the church, and the subordinates are afraid that those people will leave the church, and the most important thing is that if they leak some things, they will take a wrong step and make a wrong step!"
The black-robed man sitting in the third row of the man in black slowly spoke: "Since this is the case, then capture Liu Mingzhi's family and blackmail him, as long as we want to hold Liu Mingzhi hostage, not only will we not suffer losses, maybe the 10,000 troops under his command can be used by us!" When the time comes, you should cooperate with Lord Red Dragon, and changing the dynasty will be a matter of easy reach! â
"Confused, Jiangnan Willow is not so simple on the surface, Jiangnan Liuye's disciples are all over the north and south of the river, and the intelligence ability is terrifying, not to mention that even the emperor Lao'er's internal guards can't match it, after all, the emperor Lao'er is not as willing to spend money as Liu Zhi'an!"
"Fourth brother's Xiao Jiu agrees, although the Holy Son's method is good, but we don't seem to have so much strength in a tough confrontation with Jiangnan Liuye, not to mention that Jiangnan Liuye is a lot of people, just Liu Zhi'an's wife Bai Bing controls some of the secret guards of the Bai family in the East China Sea, which is enough for us to be in a hurry. You can make a move on Liu Mingzhi, but you must not make a move on the Liu family! â
The black-robed man known as the Holy Son looked around at the people below with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Fourth Elder, Ninth Elder, are you overestimating the Jiangnan Liu family, no matter how many disciples he has in Liuye, he is just a merchant family!" â
The White Lotus Sect Leader shook his head slightly: "Holy Son, what you said is very wrong, let's let the Holy Envoy tell you!" â
The black-robed man sitting next to the White Lotus Sect Master looked at everyone with a bright eye: "Don't underestimate the power of the Liu family in Jiangnan, according to the news from the spies in the palace, the heads of the four major families used to be the emperor's guests, and it is said that they reached an agreement that as long as the four family masters do not participate in the affairs of the imperial court, they can be safe and sound, and even the emperor Dì DÅ« attaches so much importance to the four major families, how can it be mediocre." â
Looking at the astonished gaze in everyone's eyes, the holy envoy sighed: "You have been in the dark for a long time and are not particularly clear, in Jiangnan Liu Zhi'an's words are more useful than the king of Huainan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the king of the underground, someone has calculated the Liu family's industry, Liu Zhi'an can make millions of people in Jiangnan lack food and clothing in one sentence, Jiangnan Liu, who is known for his financial resources, has no financial resources even if it is the treasury!" â
"Holy Envoy, if this is the case, how can the Emperor allow such a person to continue to exist!"
"The emperor has no choice, the most important thing is that Jiangnan can't do without Liu Zhi'an, Jiangnan's tax revenue is the first place in the state capitals every year, and Liu Zhi'an's credit cannot be ignored!"
"What does the holy envoy mean is that even if the emperor is also afraid of the Liu family's forces, he has no choice but to move his whole body, and he can only appease the Liu family?"
In a word, being an emperor is not doing whatever he wants, there are too many people involved in the Liu family, as long as there is no crime, the emperor has to think twice if he wants to move the Liu family! I've got an account here, and you'll see it when you take a look! â
The envoy took out an account book from his bosom and placed it on the table for everyone to look at.
"Holy Messenger, what does this mean?"
"The number of people in the Manchu Dynasty who accepted bribes from Liu Zhian was as high as seventy percent, and none of them were less than 100,000 taels of silver, do you know what this means?"
"Isn't it true that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have a handle in Liu Zhi'an's hands?"
"That's right, it means that as long as Liu Zhian makes this account public, nearly seventy percent of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty will be implicated!"
"If the emperor knew that his ministers would be subject to the hands of a merchant, I don't know how he would feel!"
"You are wrong, the emperor also has an account in his hand, and it was handed over by Liu Zhian himself!"
"Loyalty?"
"That's right! In private, Liu Zhi'an is also a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, so the emperor will not move Liu Zhi'an, Liu Zhi'an's move is a conspiracy, as long as the Liu family is in danger, the accounts will be made public, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be implicated, no one in the court is available, isn't the world in chaos, and the public will be in chaos! The emperor did not dare to ignore it! â
"What a vicious move, tie the Liu family to the royal family, and if the royal family does not destroy the Liu family, it will be fine!"
"So why do you think that the Liu family, a merchant family, can be ranked among the four major families, Liu Zhi'an's collusion with the emperor is probably not enough for Liu Mingzhi to devour tsxsw clearly, this old fox is vicious and has few opponents!"
The black-robed man sitting opposite the Holy Son looked at the Holy Envoy suspiciously: "Since Liu Zhi'an has such a great power, why don't you help the orphan of his sworn brother get out of the sea of suffering?" â
The holy envoy glanced at the black-robed man: "The envoy said at the beginning, Liu Zhi'an and the emperor have reached an agreement, and they are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court, Ling Daoming is an official of the imperial court, if Liu Zhi'an interferes in this matter, it will be a violation of the agreement!" â
"In that case, if Liu Mingzhi is moved, won't we get into trouble?"
"You are wrong again, Liu Mingzhi is also an official of the imperial court now, not to mention that we don't plan to hurt Liu Mingzhi's life, we just want to borrow his hand!"
"In my opinion, Liu Zhi'an actually made a wrong step, he shouldn't have handed over the accounts to the emperor, how could the emperor allow someone to control the safety of civil and military officials like himself?"
"What you said is also good, the lonely family is supreme, how can you allow others to control your subordinates, so you can rest easy if you make the Liu family your own!"
"Marriage?"
"That's right!"
"Liu Zhi'an's move is also really helpless, if he doesn't hand over the handle in the hands of the emperor, he knows that the Liu family is on the cusp of the storm, sooner or later, hundreds of officials take bribes, he bribes, this is all a crime. He had to be ruthless and cut himself off, do you think he wants to hand over the accounts? It's all a helpless move! â
Except for the White Lotus Sect Master, a group of people all looked at the Holy Envoy in amazement, wondering why he knew these things and what his identity was!
