Chapter II. 242. The Invisible Hand

Now facing his creditor, Yan Tian naturally feels like a thorn in his back, and even with the imperial power of 'enjoying it', he can't shake much. So, he even omitted the greeting steps directly, and directly showed his greatest sincerity to the scar man.

"Now that the rain season is coming, according to the 'Southern Envoy', it is the best planting period for the 'Elephant Valley'. Now that I have made all the land on the East Hidden Road vacant, I can start the first trial planting when the 'Southern Envoy' comes with you to bring the seeds. ”

After hearing this, the scar man stood up, took out a small cloth bag from his baggage, and threw it directly on the table:

"The grain is planted here, and you can start the trial planting at any time. However, since it is the first time that the two sides have cooperated, some ugly things must always be said in front. This time, Your Majesty and I will cooperate with Diting, but if there is anything that cannot be dealt with in the land of Dongyou Road that you are responsible for, and finally turn to Diting for help, you will have to add an additional amount of silver......"

When Yan Tian heard him say this, he asked with a somewhat shocked expression:

"Didn't the southern envoy say that in order to facilitate the smooth running of this business, you are willing to bear all the ......?"

"Since this business is a form of cooperation between the two companies, of course each has its own division of labor: His Majesty is responsible for providing the land, and we are responsible for transportation and sale. Therefore, the expenses we are responsible for are limited to the affairs in Fengjing City. After all, if there is a problem with the land you offer, then won't this business become a matter for me to listen to? ”

Although this scar man was a little suspicious of sitting on the ground, Yan Tian thought about it and accepted it. For him now, anyway, if there are more lice, he won't bite, and if he has more debts, he won't worry. I already owe so much silver, and I don't care about the unexpected loss of this sum or two.

So, half an hour later, the scarred man from Nankangdi left Fengjing City with the bag of Xianggu seeds.

At the same time, the Shen Mansion located in the back street of the river also returned with a short and thin man in black. The man walked back to the main hall of the deep house, and after gesturing to a baby-faced boy for a long time, he sat down on a chair and drank a few large bowls of water.

"What's the matter? What did Fourteen see? ”

Shen Guiwen heard the report from his subordinates, and learned that he had returned to the house on the 14th day, and he had rushed to the main hall truthfully.

"Fourteen said that the scar man had just left Fengjing City, and according to the official road he chose, this trip should be going to the Great Wilderness City......"

"Okay, now that the east wind has arrived, you can prepare to close the net......"

Fourteen also said...... The scar man should have found him a long time ago, but he didn't break it. ”

As soon as Fu Yi said this, Shen Gui's brain immediately spun rapidly: It stands to reason that this scar man has something to do with Yan Tian and Di Ting, no matter where he counts, he can't talk about any friendship with himself. However, since this scar man spared Li Le'an's life first, and now he has allowed Fourteen to pass the news back later, judging from his recent actions, he always feels that there is a contradiction.

After all, Li Le'an's ability to 'get out of the shell' this time means that this scar man who has never met has repaid the kindness he owed Li Xuanyu back then, but now he has no defense against his own people, but what is it for?

However, since Yan Tian has already started to make a move, he can't help but accept it, right?

"Pack a few clothes for me and Liu Banxian, we're going to go on a long trip......"

After Shen Gui finished speaking, he patted Fourteen on the shoulder, turned around and walked outside the mansion gate. Fu Yi saw that Shen Gui was leaving, and immediately asked:

"Now that the journey is about to start, where are you going to go for another round?"

"Now in Fengjing City, how can there be a place to play? I'm going to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and call Lao Shan to ...... together."

Now in Shen Gui's heart, no matter what Scar Man has to do when he goes to the Great Wilderness City this time, he plans to take this rare opportunity to completely extinguish the fire that ignited in the Li family's 'backyard'. Because for him, the fact that Li Le'an was almost assassinated alone has already made Shen Gui unable to stay out of the matter.

Since you want to 'judge' the relatives of the Li family, how can you not bring a member of the Li family? Even if he has a 'close relationship' with Li Deng, it is still difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and if they want to clean up their relatives, they must have a close person close to Li Deng who is present to witness them. Originally, the role of this witness was none other than Li Le'an; But maybe Shen Gui was a little embarrassed in the face of Li Le'an's inexplicable 'jealousy', and he didn't even mention it to Miss Li.

In front of today's Prime Minister's Mansion, there is only one person sitting Shan Qingquan.

"Lao Dan, pack some clothes, and I still have a half-immortal, our three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, and go to the Great Wilderness City for a walk."

"What are you doing in the Great Wilderness City?"

"Murderous ......"

When Shan Qingquan heard the word murder, his eyes lit up. For a long time before, he was able to get rid of batches of hidden piles and spies around the Prime Minister's Mansion who didn't know where they came from, and over time, he fell in love with this exciting 'amateur activity'.

Shan Qingquan is a proud disciple taught by the Taoist masters of the Xuanyue Dao Palace, so in his early years, he fought with people, and most of them were to the point, although there were many defeated generals like carp crossing the river, but there were not many lives in his hands at all; But recently, as soon as he opened his killing ring, he couldn't stop......

So now, as soon as he heard the word 'killing', he immediately gave birth to some expectations in Shan Qingquan's heart, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Gui knew that he was going back to the Qingquan Tea House and packing his clothes and luggage.

"Since Young Master Shen has visited the mansion, why don't you want to visit Xiangye?"

Li Fu, the old housekeeper who was hidden in the gatehouse, turned around and left after seeing Shen Gui transfer Shan Qingquan away, and immediately spoke out to stop him.

“…… Don't you know what I'm going to do in the Great Wilderness City? How embarrassing is this to see Li Xiang? Let's wait until the matter is done, and then I'll come to the door to apologize in person......"

Shen Gui wanted to leave after speaking, but he didn't expect Li Deng's voice to come out of the gatehouse:

"Dare to kill the people of my Li family, but don't you dare to face the old decay, the master of the Li family? Shen Gui, Shen Gui, your guts are even smaller than the old man thought......"

There was no way, Shen Gui could only bite the bullet and was called into the gatehouse by this future father-in-law.

"All in all, that's the case! I'm going to take Liu Banxian and Lao Dan to capture the scar boy who listens to him alive; If possible, find out your Li family's traitor by the way and escort him back to Fengjing; If you encounter someone who stands in the way, you will naturally have to use the sword and the soldier in vain...... This is also the main reason why I want to take Lao Shan to the Great Wilderness City together. ”

After Li Deng listened, he still looked at Shen Gui with a playful expression:

"Lao Dan, who else in your house can stop the pervasive imperial horse supervisor? In addition, although Qinghong's safety has been guaranteed, what should she do with Le'an? Won't you take her with you? ”

"It's a long way to go to the mountains, and it's very dangerous, and it's easy to have problems with her......"

Li Deng looked at Shen Guiyan's insincere expression, and laughed rarely:

"Haha...... Shen Gui, Shen Gui, what do you think the old man handed over Le'an to Lin Siwei back then? According to the old man's opinion, this trip, there is no need to trouble Lao Dan, you still take your 'little sister' with you... There are other things that I have to tell you in advance...... The people of the entire Youbei Third Road all think that after the old man entered Beijing as an official, he has completely lost his ability to control Dongyou Yiyi; But what if the old man told you that all this is under the control of the old man now? ”

When Shen Gui heard what the future father-in-law said himself, he was immediately shocked! His mind spun around a few times, and he asked him with the results of his own thoughts:

"Could it be...... You have long had the intention of ousting the prince from power? ”

In the face of Shen Gui's 'unbridled' imagination, Li Deng also felt a little speechless. Because this kid's 'confidence' in himself is really beyond his ability.

“…… When the old man entered Beijing as an official, the two brothers had just learned to walk. Do you really believe in the saying 'three years old sees old'? ”

"Believe it......"

"Then when you were three years old, did you think that you would be where you are today?"

This question is so meaningful to Shen Gui today!

"Absolutely not!"

"Therefore, their current behavior was expected by the old man; It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the result of the old man's deliberate indulgence. Don't look at our Li family is deeply rooted in Dongyou Road, but the old man, the head of the family, to put it bluntly, is just a Buddha statue that receives incense. On weekdays, I can't decide anything other than being able to collect cash. Back then, the old man also felt that the position of the head of the family was gradually being hollowed out by those united relatives, so he would go to Fengjing City and serve as the thankless prime minister of Youbei! ”

Li Deng's hand is to retreat into advance, and Shen Gui can actually understand that this is like a child who is not under the supervision of an adult will reveal his true nature; And the more small actions they make on Dongyou Road, the bigger the basket they poke out, the more justified and bold Li Deng will be able to clean up these 'family members' who have been related to him in the future.

Unexpectedly, with such a simple approach, Li Deng would be able to wait for 20 years; And those relatives of the Li family are really calm, and they only plan to have a complete showdown with the head of the family until now.

"And ...... you mean?"

"Li Gao and Li Sanlin definitely can't stay. It's painful to live, it's tragic to die, and as for what to do, you must have more ideas than the old man...... As for the others......"

"You mean, only the first evil?"

"No, what the old man means is that if you have the ability, it is best to uproot the four elders of the side lineage, including their entire branches, at once! Either don't act rashly, or use thunderous means to eradicate all future troubles. Shen Gui, today's old man wants to tell you a sentence: whether it is business or an official, whether it is a war or a private fight, only the winner takes all. As for the consequences of not dying if you fight a tiger, you must know very well......"

Shen Guiwan didn't expect that he, the future father-in-law with the name of 'the great Confucian of the world', could be so ruthless! His words are as cruel and ruthless as self-destruction!

Of course, it is precisely because of Li Deng's ruthlessness that Shen Gui can completely let go of his hands and feet and solve all problems at once!
