Lin Yuan didn't expect Feng Ning to die, and he was killed on the way to see him. Looking at the secret letter sent by Ye Tao from Yangzhou City, Lin Yuan frowned and thought about the consequences of this matter.

The people in the court didn't care if they were on the way to Yangzhou or not, in their opinion, this Feng Ning blocked him halfway because of what he did, and as a result, his life was not good and he was killed by the chaotic people. If he hadn't sent troops to besiege the Zhenjiang Mansion before, there would have been no such thing, after all, people died, and no one held him accountable for arresting people indiscriminately.

In their eyes, what they are doing now is to oppress their colleagues, and the point is to abuse military power and storm the government, and as long as the latter operates, it is no less than the crime of gathering troops to rebel.

"It's the subordinates who are in a hurry." Yin Shidao half-knelt on the ground and said that this letter was sent by him overnight. At that time, I was only concerned about saving people, but I didn't expect it to come to this point.

"Uncle Yin, hurry up, what's your business, it's my order, don't do your business." Lin Yuan hurriedly helped Yin Shidao up, frowned and said, "This Feng Ning's death is a little strange, I'm afraid it wasn't the hand of the chaotic people." ”

"At present, most of the victims in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been properly resettled, and Lord Ye has begun to clear the bandits in Jiangsu and Zhejiang a few years ago, and this will never happen on the official road in Yangzhou." Yin Shidao said.

"That is why some people don't want me to be in Zhenjiang, and they may think that it is not appropriate for me to stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Lin Yuan was thinking about who didn't want to see him the least, and the first thing that came to mind was the Xue family. Lin Yuan didn't understand that they were for the sake of a painting?

Yangzhou City just a Huang Xuan gave each family a headache, and now the Duke of Yasukuni went south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, saying that there was no imperial order, and the ghosts did not believe it. Yin Shidao thought for a while and said, "Is it something in Yangzhou City?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head, he didn't do anything, and he blocked the road before he could get up. Yin Shidao was a little puzzled: "Could it be the Xue family?" ”

"It should be them, this is going to eat the Shen family." Lin Yuan's words made Yin Shidao immediately angry, "These miscellaneous pieces, wait until I lead the troops to copy his Sanmu Hall." ”

Grabbing Yin Shidao, who was about to go out, Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Even if we know that he did it, do we have any evidence?" This was slowed down in advance, and the ministers of the DPRK and China had a headache more than us. ”

Yin Shidao was a little puzzled: "What is the headache of the imperial court in this matter?" ”

"After the catastrophe, once the people are not well settled, there will be chaos, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been affected by the disaster for more than a month, although there are still a lot of victims, but most of them have been arranged, but now there is a 'chaotic people' to kill officials, the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are more nervous than anyone else, and the people who do this are trying to muddy the water in the pond of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It's good to do something else. We can't mess around, just wait for him to make a move. Lin Yuan explained.

Yin Shidao was a little confused when he heard this, since he couldn't figure it out, he just did it, Yin Shidao nodded and said, "Then Grandpa, I will move when you say when you do it." "Yin Shidao is really angry, the Xue family is really not doing this well, just arrest people indiscriminately, and now I want to put the basin on my head, which is unbearable. In the past, I didn't bother to talk to you in Zhenjiang Mansion, so I didn't bother to do it, and I didn't say hello when I hit the door.

In Yangzhou City, Huang Xuan looked at the piece handed over by Yang Tai, frowned, and said, "Lord Yang, are you sure you want to write like this?" ”

"Lord Huang, this matter can't be played according to the facts, if that's the case, how many officials of all sizes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can run away, don't those big households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang expect us to do that? In recent years, the DPRK and China have spent a lot of effort in cultivating Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials, and they cannot follow their wishes. Yang Tai explained.

"Lord Yang, you and I both know that there are any chaotic people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang except for the disaster victims?" Huang Xuan sighed and said.

"The situation is stronger than people, although it is said that Yasukuni's southward trip this time is a private matter, but a few people believe it, not to mention that this private matter still involves the Xue family." Yang Tai was a little helpless.

Huang Xuan looked at the piece in his hand, Yang Taiyin went to the Zhenjiang prefect Feng Ning to appear in Yangzhou official road, but he knew that the people of the Xue family in the court would never believe it. The rebellious people killed the officials, which means that the rebellious people were forced out by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang governments, and a large number of officials will be involved at that time. Yang Tai knew that he couldn't hide it, but he always had to minimize the impact of the matter, and only said that he was attacked by mountain bandits. He had already discussed this matter with Ye Tao.

Huang Xuan knew that Yang Tai was a delicate person who served as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for seven years, which greatly eased the relationship between the imperial court and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang families. At present, Jiangsu and Zhejiang still need this person. But Huang Xuan is always uncomfortable cooperating with him, this person is too tactful, he was ordered to go south this time, just to find out whether the family is related to the embankment breaking case, but Yang Tai always obstructs him before the time comes.

"Sign it, Lord Huang." Yang Tai looked at Huang Xuan.

"That's it." Huang Xuan picked up the pen and wrote his name on the note. If he wants to investigate cases in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he can't do without Yang Tai's help.

"Thank you, Lord Huang, I am saying goodbye, you can rest early." With the music in hand, Yang Tai left in a hurry, and he had to rush to Zhenjiang Mansion early tomorrow morning, counting the days when the Yasukuni Gong should have arrived.

Zhenjiang Garrison Mansion, Lin Yuanyushi and others moved in before entering the city. Looking at Yu Shilin Yuan and said with a smile: "It's hard work, did you encounter any difficulties on the road?" ”

"No, it's just uncomfortable to be followed all the way." Yu Shi shook his head, there were indeed many people on the road, Yu Shi wanted to make a move several times but still held back, he was afraid of ruining Lin Yuan's big thing.

"You're going slowly, tell me about the road." Lin Yuan said.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are more victims, but there are fewer people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and many people are still walking back, and they inquired on the way that Jiangsu and Zhejiang have begun to resettle the victims, and many people have come back." Yu Shi said.

Lin Yuan nodded, he knew this very well, a few days after he came to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials began to take action, and finally settled the victims before the cold weather came. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that there will really be chaos among the people.

"You go down and rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lin Yuan commanded.

As soon as Yu Shi went out, Yin Shidao walked in. He handed a letter of worship to Lin Yuan: "The Yangzhou Mansion sent it, saying that Lord Yang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is coming tomorrow, let's see it or not." ”

Lin Yuan opened the post and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Being able to sit firmly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for seven years is a talent." Let's meet, I've been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for so many days, and it's not good to see one. ”

"Then I'll go down and get ready." Yin Shidao said.

Lin Yuan nodded, from now on, he will have to contact with these large and small forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he came to Zhenjiang in advance, because he was afraid of startling the snake, and if he wanted to understand these people in detail, he could only investigate secretly behind his back. If you come blatantly, the other party is ready, how can you start.

Getting up and walking outside, Lin Yuan instructed: "Zhang Li, bring a pot of good wine, let's go to Zhenjiang Prison." ”

Although Shen Bin is living in prison, he has shown some signs of gaining weight in the past few days. Looking at Shen Bin, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Eating fat in prison, you Shen Bin is afraid that you are the first person in Da Zhou." ”

"Haha, eat and drink well, and don't worry about anything. The heart is wide and the body is fat. Shen Bin said with a smile.

Lin Yuan shook his head and looked at Shen Bin: "Sometimes it's better to have a little heart, but when the time comes, I don't know if I am killed, just like I inadvertently hurt myself this time." ”

"How did I know Xue Li was so well-read." Shen Bin glanced at Lin Yuan.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Lin Yuan filled the wine glass in front of Shen Bin, and then said, "Feng Ning is dead." ”

Shen Bin's hand shook and sighed: "I expected it a long time ago." ”

"Oh? Do you know who it is? Lin Yuan said curiously.

"Except for the Xue family in this Zhenjiang Mansion, who can take his Feng Ning's life." Shen Bin said.

"So, Xue Li has never done this?" Lin Yuan asked.

Shen Bin took a slice of beef and tasted it carefully, swallowed the meat and said, "This Zhenjiang Mansion has never been Feng Ning's final say. Feng Ning is just a person from a high background, and he is not very brilliant in the science field, how can he be a prefect of Zhenjiang after only three years, you must know that in addition to him, the biggest one is just a county order. ”

"How do you know that Feng Ning is Xue Li's person?" Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Shen Bin.

"I used to speculate, and at first I always thought that he was installed by other families, and he didn't do anything with the Xue family in the past, and when I saw him, I stood respectfully behind Xue Li, so I was sure that he was a member of the Xue family." Shen Bin said.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly: "The imperial examination was originally to avoid the family to select talents for the country, but now it seems that it is still difficult to bypass the threshold of the family. ”

"The family controls the history books and ancient books, and no one in the world can escape. In addition, the big clan controls high-ranking officials, and if you want to be promoted, you must rely on them to have a chance. With them one day, this court will always be controlled by them. "Shen Bin knows too well the family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the school can only be run by the big family, because they have the technology to print books, and the cost of others doing this is too high, not to mention, they will face the pressure of the big family at that time.

"This Xue family has built an iron plate in Zhenjiang Mansion, doesn't it have any handle?" Lin Yuan frowned and said, at the moment, they can't save the Shen and Lin families through exchange negotiations, so they can only have a hard fight with the Xue family.

Shen Bin shook his head, the Xue family has been powerful in Zhenjiang Mansion for a day or two, and he has never heard of the Xue family having any tricks in the hands of others.

Lin Yuan stood up and moved for a moment, the cell was still a little clammy and cold, he turned his head to Zhang Li and said, "Go back and prepare a few stoves for Shen Gongzi." ”

"Yes, Grandpa."

Lin Yuan turned back to Shen Bin and said, "You are waiting patiently for a while, I don't believe him Xue Li is doing things without revealing anything, and I will come to you when there is news." ”

"Walk slowly, if it doesn't work, I'll hand over the painting." Shen Bin said.

"Don't say frustrating words so early, I'm going to call him the Xue family's catties." Lin Yuan said with a smile, the Xue family's work aroused Lin Yuan's fighting spirit.

In the Xue family of Sanmutang, Xue Li looked at the strong man in the night clothes in front of him and asked, "How much does it cost your photo studio to make this deal?" ”

I only heard a hoarse voice from under the mask: "What Xue Gongzi wants to take is in the capital, which is a little difficult, but it is not impossible." ”

"Silver is not a problem, I will double this on this basis, and you will make it for me with the person who took the painting." Xue Li said coldly.

"Pay the deposit first, and I'll give you the news in a few months." The man said.

Xue Li nodded and pushed the tray in front of the man in black. The man didn't open it, but took the money and turned away. Xue Li looked at Shen Shitao on the side: "Is it safe to hand it over to the photo studio?" ”

"The young master is too worried, as long as he doesn't say it, no one knows the secret of that painting. And the photo studio is clean, no one will think of us. Shen Shitao said.

"I hope so." Xue Li nodded, the painting is not in Zhenjiang Mansion, so it will only appear in the capital. As long as I get the painting back, my previous efforts will not be in vain. Thinking about the secret of that painting, Xue Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.
