Zhenjiang Garrison Mansion, Lin Yuan flipped through the confession sent by Yin Shidao, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he glanced at Lin Yuan, the guard standing next to him, and asked, "Lord Yin is still in Yangzhou?" ”

"Back to the Duke of Yasukuni, Lord Yin and Lord Ye have already begun to collect their troops yesterday and plan to come back." Yin Shidao's guards replied.

"How's the battle going during this time?"

"It's hard to imagine that there are so many cottages in Yangzhou." The guard thought for a moment and then said, "There are a few relatively large bandits, well-trained, Lord Ye felt that there was a problem and interrogated them. These things that the grandfather saw were the ones they confessed. ”

Lin Yuan really couldn't imagine that Xue Li had already achieved this step, not to mention whether that thing was real or fake, he had made so many preparations now, it seemed that he had been planning for many years. Lin Yuan weighed it and said to the guards: "You go back and tell Yin Da and Lord Ye first, don't be in a hurry to come back first, and wait for the news of me and Lord Shen Lian." ”

The guards were a little puzzled, but they still responded: "The subordinates obey the order, dare to ask the grandfather what else he commands?" ”

"No, you can go and report it quickly." Lin Yuan said. Seeing the guards leaving, Lin Yuan thought for a while: "You go to Yangzhou, tell the Zhang family, let them move quickly, the people in Beijing should come back soon." ”

"Yes, young master."

Xue Li has been in a very irritable mood these days, and he has beaten and scolded his subordinates at every turn, and during this time, three people have been carried out from the house. Looking at Liang Gu who was kneeling on the ground, Xue Li said coldly: "So Shen Lian has been working in the mansion? ”

"Young master, my subordinates have been staring at it. Shen Lian hasn't been out for the past few days, and has been dealing with the government affairs files left by Feng Ning. I didn't ask about the Shen family. Liang Gu replied, now Liang Gu is the head catcher of Zhenjiang Mansion, Xue Li can also be regarded as fulfilling his promise, and the entire Zhenjiang Mansion is almost all his people except for Shen Lian's accident.

"You will continue to watch at the government office, and you can't act rashly, waiting for my orders to act." Xue Li said.

"The subordinates obeyed, but..."Liang Gu wanted to speak and stopped.

Xue Li frowned and looked at Liang Gu, and said in disgust: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Yes, Shen Lian has promoted a person in the past few days, and he is still obeying orders under me, but it is always a disaster, and his subordinates want to find an opportunity to do him." Liang Gu said.

Xue Li said coldly: "Idiot, don't think that I don't know what you think, it's a good thing for me, you won't even see the sun tomorrow." ”

Liang Gu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "It's the fault of his subordinates." ”

"Get out!" Liang Gu hurriedly got up and retreated. Shen Shitao walked out from behind the screen, looked at the departing Liang Gu and said, "This person is not easy to control. ”

"It's just a wild dog, and if you want him to die, you can have a chance at any time." Xue Li said coldly. Looking at Shen Shitao, Xue Li asked, "What's going on in the capital?" ”

"The painting has been sent to Yuxi, an order from the head of the family." Shen Shitao said.

"Huh." Xue Li clenched his hands and sneered, "What is the reason this time?" ”

"I didn't say anything, and the person who sent the painting was also killed." Shen Shitao looked at Xue Li's face and saw that his face had become very bad and he didn't speak.

"What is this? Ha? What am I in their eyes? Why isn't that old guy dead? Xue Li said, Shen Shitao saw the situation in front of him, and he didn't know what to say, so he quietly retreated, and after a while, there was a sound of smashing things in the house, Shen Shitao sighed helplessly, the Xue family was really messy.

In the Zhenjiang Mansion, Lin Yuan was drinking tea with Shen Lian, but suddenly received a message from Yangzhou, and Shen Lian was a little shocked: "The painting was not delivered to Xue Li?" ”

"Report to your lord, there is no news about the painting in western Henan." The guard said.

Shen Lian frowned and thought about it, and wondered, "Could it be that the old thing made a move?" ”

"The plan has been affected, and without the painting, it will be difficult for Xue Li to start." Lin Yuan said, he never thought that someone would come out to cut off his beard.

"If it's really that old guy's hand, it's a little troublesome, and that person has always been very clean." Shen Lian had a headache.

"Let's wait for the news of the Zhang family in Yangzhou first." Lin Yuan suggested. As long as the Zhang family gets any evidence, it will be easier for them to operate on their own side.

"That's it, I happen to have to deal with some people here, but I'm worried about causing a reaction from Xue Li's side." Shen Lian said.

Lin Yuan knows the situation in Zhenjiang, except for Shen Lian himself, many people in the officialdom of Zhenjiang are Xue Li's people, to put it mildly, there is no difference between Shen Lian and Commander Guangzhu. Seeing Lin Yuan holding back a smile, Shen Lian said angrily: "I said Jingguo Gong, it's not like this." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that it's a little uncomfortable to think that Lord Shen is struggling." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"Then Yasukuni Gong has any ideas, I have heard it in the capital, and it is not a problem for you to come to Yasukuni." Shen Lian said with a smile.

Lin Yuan was stunned: "Lord Shen didn't say it, I didn't know that I was so powerful in the capital." Seeing that Shen Lian's face was a little ugly, Lin Yuan thought for a while and then said, "It's not that there is no way, but I have to think about it, I've been waiting for so long, it's not bad for a few days." ”、

Shen Lian was helpless, so he had to say: "Then I'll wait a little longer, and I hope that the Duke of Yasukuni won't let me rejoice in the air." ”

"I won't disappoint Lord Shen, then I'll go first." Lin Yuan arched his hand and said goodbye and left, what Shen Lian said was difficult to do, mainly because there was no reason to do it, rashly doing it would indeed startle the snake, and now Ye Tao said that he had gained a lot from suppressing the bandits, but it was difficult to ensure that Xue Li had no backhand in other places, and the Xue family in western Henan was really a problem.

Yangzhou City Zhang's family, Zhang Yao listened to the news from the world, a little sad, the Xue family moved too fast, which led to a lot of pressure on his side, although Chunyuan said that he could go in, but he couldn't stand the news he wanted to investigate, he had no clue, Yasukuni Gong said lightly, but which person's head was broken and said that his family had something to do with the embankment breaking case.

As soon as Zhang Yao stepped into the gate of the Spring Courtyard, a man greeted him, Zhang Yao looked at the person standing in the way and frowned, and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Qingshui, the big shopkeeper of Rui Chengxiang in Yangzhou City, is engaged in silk and satin cloth, which was not a big store, but because of the high quality, he supplied cloth to the Zhang family, and said that he also had some intersection with him, but this is the Spring Garden, and he can't enter with his status, so he waited at the door early in the morning.

"Master Zhang, take a step to speak." Liu Qingshui said with a smile, Zhang Yao was a little irritable, and he was going to turn around and leave, but when he saw a piece of jade pendant in Liu Qingshui's hand, his face changed instantly, and he turned around and ordered the housekeeper: "You go first and talk to Master Dai, just say that I have something urgent and will come later." After speaking, he left with Liu Qingshui.

Coming to the nearby teahouse, Zhang Yao stared at Liu Qingshui and said, "I didn't expect that the shopkeeper Liu was hiding quite deeply. Say, what's going on? ”

Liu Qingshui smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, how could he expose to Zhang Yao that he was the person of the 'photo studio', last night a group of masters raided the stronghold of the 'photo studio' in Yangzhou, even the small courtyard where he stayed every day was not avoided, and the egret was seriously injured and has not woken up so far. From the moment the 'photo studio' was infiltrated by the family, he Liu Qingshui knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Master Zhang is joking, there is no 'photo studio' anymore." Liu Qingshui smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yao frowned, but saw Liu Qingshui roll up his sleeves, only to see that Liu Qingshui's entire arm was wrapped in bandages, and the blood stains printed on it seemed to be the injury he had just suffered.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yao asked.

"Someone attacked last night, and Yangzhou's 'photo studio' was killed and wounded." Liu Qingshui didn't hide it, he knew that Zhang Yao had already established a relationship with the Yasukuni Gong side, and now that the family couldn't tolerate himself, then he didn't need to do things for them.

"Why are you telling me this?" Zhang Yao asked.

"Because of the Yasukuni Gong standing behind you." Liu Qingshui looked at Zhang Yao, and when he saw Zhang Yao, he chuckled and said, "I also know something about you sending people to the capital, don't say that you are going to hang out." ”

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, but this thing is not done, and there is no way to talk about this feud." Liu Qingshui said. The 'Dead Guard' is not owned by the studio.

"This must be believed by the Yasukuni public." Zhang Yao shook his head, and did not deny his relationship with Yasukuni.

"It's for this matter, please ask Mr. Zhang to set up a line in the middle, there must be a chance to talk about things." Liu Qingshui said.

Zhang Yao was a little embarrassed, he looked at Liu Qingshui and said, "How can you guarantee that the Yasukuni Princesses will meet you?" Aren't you worried that he will find out about you and send troops to encircle and suppress you? ”

Liu Qingshui handed an envelope to Zhang Yao and said, "Just give this letter to the Duke of Jingguo." Seeing that Zhang Yao was a little curious looking at the envelope, Liu Qingshui continued: "It's better not to look at it, Lord Zhang, it's easy to kill yourself." ”

Zhang Yao's heart sank and said, "I can bring you things, but whether I can see them or not is not something I can control." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Liu Qingshui bowed and said, seeing Zhang Yao getting up to leave, Liu Qingshui thought for a while and said, "Lord Zhang, I have a word to remind you that it is better to stay away from Dai's house." ”

Zhang Yao frowned, he didn't understand the meaning of Liu Qingshui's words, and was about to ask carefully, but Liu Qingshui had already left first, thinking about the sentence just now, Zhang Yao took the letter in his hand and thought about it, and instructed the subordinates on the side: "Prepare the car and go home, and send a competent person to send this letter to Zhenjiang Mansion immediately." ”

Zhang Yao felt that Liu Qingshui would not be untargeted, although the 'photo studio' said that there were families in it to help, but it was not all, it was mostly for some people to deal with things that were not very clean, Liu Qingshui said this, there must be something wrong with the Dai family, but he couldn't think of anything for a while. That being the case, it's always good to stay away.

The letter sent by Zhang Yao was very timely for Lin Yuan, looking at the letter in his hand, Lin Yuan laughed, as for the matter of the 'photo studio', Lin Yuan didn't care so much, if it weren't for them, Lin Yuan and Shen Lian's plan was likely to be flawed, after all, everything had to be done by himself, and the risk would definitely be a lot greater.

What Liu Qingshui sent was a list of 'dead guards', as well as the things that have been done for each family over the years, there are no less than ten officials from various provinces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have died in accidents over the years, Lin Yuan thought about how rampant the family was, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated them, and murdering officials was tantamount to rebellion. These people have never had the court in their eyes.

Since the 'photo studio' has sent such a big gift, how can I not make good use of it, so I will start from the periphery and see how each family reacts.

Lin Yuan already had some plans, and now this letter will fasten the last link, Lin Yuan feels that this time the probability of success is very great, and he may solve most of the current problems, but this matter cannot be done only in Zhenjiang, Lin Yuan needs to burn the fire, and it is best to burn the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After thinking about it, Lin Yuan said to the world: "Prepare the car, I want to go to Lord Shen's place." ”
