It's going to be a busy day. What happened just now is an ending. But it's also the beginning of a busy one.

Liu Shan cut himself. It represents the end of many things here. No more intrigues. No more pretending to be pandering. There is no longer any unhappiness to swallow your anger. All of it. Zhang Fan can easily start now. After all. He completed the task given to him by Long Qing.

But busyness also comes with it. You must know that Zhang Fan did not complete all this task. The finishing touches are also very important. Take those books. Zhang Fan has indeed mastered almost all of Liu Shan's secrets. And the movement that Liu Shan made was too big. It's a huge undertaking. After all, there are too many officials and money involved.

Originally. For these things. When he first came to Jiangnan, Zhang Fan thought about it in his heart. For such an official who has committed a crime. As long as you have the evidence. Then it should all be taken care of. But the situation really doesn't allow him to do that. After all, there are too many officials who have been identified as involved. Even if Zhang Fan has the Shangfang sword that Longqing gave him, which symbolizes imperial power. so that he has the ability to catch whoever he wants. And enormous power that doesn't need to be reported. He couldn't have started arresting these people with impunity.

Or rather, just grasp a few typical inside. An officer who is responsible for a major crime. It's also very difficult. To know. Most of these people are terrified of death. Once you open the first case. Caught a few people. Not to mention that those people below who have ghosts in their hearts will be uneasy. Even the few people you caught are probably hopeless to survive. They also drag other people they know into the water. When the time comes, the chain reaction will follow. Zhang Fan estimated that he couldn't use the account books in his hand at all. Just relying on these dog-eat-dog can catch the corrupt officials here. Only until that time. Do you catch or not.

Zhang Fan can even imagine it. Once the news of Liu Shan's death spreads today. There will inevitably be many people in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. As for what stupid things they will do in a hurry. This is not something that Zhang Fan can know. But he also understood. This man is impossible to catch. If you catch these people. Hehe. The officialdom of these three provinces can be regarded as having no officials in an instant. I don't know what will happen then. Zhang Fan has already thought of a lot with his own brain. The cheers of the people, the chaos, the disorder, and even the ...... Uprising. Zhang Fan thought about it. Cold sweat came down. There was only one thought in my mind. That is, this must not be allowed to happen. But as for what to do. Zhang Fan still can't make up his mind.

Suddenly. Zhang Fan thought of the scene where Liu Shan cut himself just now. It wasn't that he couldn't understand that. Liu Shan was originally a eunuch in the palace. For the two famous secret agencies of the Ming Dynasty, they will not be unheard. He should know very well. What kind of treatment will you be treated when you are caught? Even now he has counted all the evidence. Everything that could prove what Liu Shan had done was handed over to Zhang Fan. But with the ability of the dead man of the factory guard, he can also squeeze three taels of oil. A bit of hospitality is inevitable. Instead of suffering that sin. It's better to get straight to the point. If you die, it's a hundred.

The scene just now. To Zhang Fan's surprise. But it makes sense. But Zhang Fan remembers it most clearly. Luo Ling'er, who was trembling in her arms at that time. I seem to be very scared. And her beautiful eyes seemed to become hideous at that moment. With tears in his eyes, he always stared at Liu Shan's tragic death. The eyes are not blinking. Even the eye sockets are red. But he still has to look at Liu Shan's appearance. Until Liu Shan's body was carried out by Zhang Fan's factory guards. Luo Ling'er put down that posture. But it's as if the mood is over-excited. Suddenly, he fainted. Zhang Fan, who was shocked, hurriedly asked people to send her back. As for Zhang Fan himself. He can't leave yet. He still has a lot to do here.

Luo Ling'er is the kind of perverted happiness of hatred, resentment, or revenge finally getting revenge. Zhang Fan didn't know. I don't plan to find out what to ask Luo Ling'er about. It only adds to the sadness. If this past can be passed, let it pass. There is no need to delve into it.

But Zhang Fan cares a little bit......

"Your Excellency. What are you thinking. Liang Chao walked over. Looking at Zhang Fan, who was still a little sullen, asked. After all, nowadays. That's it. But Zhang Fan still looks like this. It really puzzled Liang Chao.

Zhang Fan heard Liang Chao's question. Knowing that he was worried about himself. But he didn't know how to answer. He picked up the flask on the table again and filled his glass. Drink alone.

Liang Chao saw that Zhang Fan ignored himself. And there is no feeling of being "left out". He knew that Zhang Fan's current mood would definitely not be good. After all, there is such a big stall to face later.

"Your Excellency is worried about the aftermath of this incident." Liang Chao said guessingly. He guessed the most plausible thing. "Actually, I don't think adults need to worry too much about this. After all, this is the end of the story. We only have to take one step at a time. ”

Drink the wine from the glass in your hand. Zhang Fan looked up at him. "Those things are a little annoying. But that's a foregone conclusion. There is no way to do it. I'm not going to torture myself like that. I'm just concerned about something else right now. ”

"What do you care about?" Liang Chao listened to him. It's also curious. Wang Meng, who was passing by, also walked over. Didn't speak. Just looking at Zhang Fan. The meaning of the inquiry is unmistakable.

“…… It's a strange thing. Zhang Fan said slowly with some uncertainty. To know. Whether it's what we've found out in the past. It's still visible. Liu Shan is a ruthless man. There are cautious people who have prepared countless back roads for themselves. I can understand why he threw himself into the net this time. After all, the current form is no way back for him. He's going to come to me. Sooner or later, they will be confessed by those whom we have taken casually; Even if it won't. Today's Liu Shan is no longer satisfied with Meng Chong. Or rather, he didn't feel like he was going on like this with Meng Chong at all. At that time, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.

"But...... I don't understand one thing. I think you heard that. What did Liu Shan say in the end. ”

"My lord, do you mean that Liu Shan said, 'The matter here is not over yet'?" Liang Chao thought about it for a while and remembered.

"Not bad." Zhang Fan nodded and said. Then he pondered again.

"Adults are not thinking too much. Maybe it was just Liu Shan trying to find a step down for himself. Said so on purpose. Liang Chao said.

"If it's anyone else. I'm sure I'd think the same way. Zhang Fan said. But Liu Shan. I'm worried...... This Liu Shan has been in contact with him for so many days. It doesn't look like a purposeless person. Perhaps this time he threw himself into the net and was the biggest mistake of his life. But that was also forced by the situation. There is no way to do it. ”

"My lord thinks. Then Liu Shan might be talking about something. Wang Meng, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly asked.

"Hey. Brother Wang. You don't really think so. Liang Chao on the side heard Wang Meng's words. Somewhat surprised, she turned to him and asked. It was as if I had heard something surprising. "Then Liu Shan is just a dead eunuch. How can there be so many flowers. ”

"Until now. Do you see that Liu Shan has made fewer flowers? Wang Meng just replied to Liang Chao like this. and looked at him no more. Turned to look at Zhang Fan. Waiting for his reply.

"What do you think the adults will be?" Liang Chao listened to Wang Meng's words. I thought about it alone. Suddenly, he asked Zhang Fan. "Could it be about books or money?"

"It stands to reason. His concern should be about it. Zhang Fan said with a solemn face. But I don't think so. If Liu Shan really has any preparations for this. It must have been something big. And I think. If Liu Shan really has any plans. He wouldn't have stabbed himself with chopsticks so happily just now. ”

listened to Zhang Fan's words. Wang Meng and Liang Chao were also silent. What Zhang Fan said is not unreasonable. If Liu Shan really has any plans. The suicide just now is indeed unreasonable. So, what do you think......

"It looks like this. My lord. What Liu Shan said just now ...... "Wang Meng seemed to think of something. But I don't know for sure.

"Not bad. What Liu Shan just said is not untargeted. I think there must be something deep in his words. Zhang Fan said affirmatively. And it must have something to do with today's events. But it's a cause. It's Liu Shan who wants revenge or make some trouble for us. But the things he said. I guess and what we're going to do now. I guess it doesn't matter. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Liang Chao asked. "That's why. But it's not about that. ”

"That's why. I don't think I need to explain more. You should all be able to understand. Zhang Fan began to explain. But it's not about that. It sounds incredible. But if you think about it. It's not hard to understand. Now Liu Shan is in the law. All the evidence is in our hands. Although Liu Shan knew in his heart that we would not arrest so many officials. But he also knows. We will certainly base ourselves on the books. Start exploring.

"In that case. If what he prepares, it doesn't matter. We'll be able to find out soon. As a result, Liu Shan's plans were in vain. Believe me. I know that Liu Shan is definitely not such a person. He'll be sure to surprise us. ”

"In that case. Doesn't it mean that we can only sit and wait for the trouble that Liu Shan prepared to come to the door. But there was no preparation at all. Liang Chao said with some surprise.

"I don't want to agree with you, though. But. That's the way it is. Zhang Fan also said helplessly. We don't know exactly what Liu Shan will prepare. The three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian are not small. There are so many things that can be put to his advantage. And we can't always investigate everything that is suspicious. If only Liu Shan were still alive. In that case. We might be able to ask for some clues. It's a pity ......."

Zhang Fan's exclamation was just that he unintentionally said what he thought in his heart. However, the speaker has no intention and listens intentionally. Liang Chao on the side heard Zhang Fan's words. immediately knelt in front of Zhang Fan. He lowered his head and said, "My lord." This is to blame for the disadvantage of lowly office. Fang Cai was unable to stop Liu Shan in time. Now he has caused a lot of trouble for others. Please also punish the adults. ”

"Liang Chao. What are you doing. The so-called man has gold under his knees. You didn't do anything wrong. Hurry up and get me up. Zhang Fan hurriedly said. He didn't expect Liang Chao to do this all of a sudden.

"Nope. My lord. Humble duties are not good. I gave the adults these troubles. If it is an adult, it will not be punished for humble duties. Not only is it humble, but I can't get over it. The rest of the brothers will also be dissatisfied with the lowly ministry in their hearts. ”

"You. Where do I blame you? Zhang Fan said. Liu Shan was so sudden just now. The action is fast. Who would have imagined. And how can you be blamed for this. ”

Liang Chao didn't care what Zhang Fan said. He knelt there and refused to get up.

Zhang Fan looked at Wang Meng on the side. Seeing that Wang Meng also nodded. I had to sigh. Said: "In that case. You will remove the official title of Jinyi Wei Baihu for me now. ”

Listened to this sentence. Wang Meng's eyes shrank. But he did not speak. Liang Chao, who was kneeling, was also shocked. Again, there is no attempt to refute anything.

Zhang Fan didn't seem to see the movements of the two. continued: "After that. On the thorough investigation of the embezzlement of silver. It's all up to you to do the legwork. But after this thing is over. You reinstate me as an officer. Do it for me in the future. Don't make any more mistakes. ”

After listening to Zhang Fan's words. Wang Meng's nervous expression just now also relaxed. And Liang Chao, who was kneeling below, was already a little stunned. It was just that moment. He thought he had become an example of Zhang Fan killing chickens and monkeys. Years of hard work were about to come to naught in an instant. When the time comes, Liang Chao, who is ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors in his family, really doesn't know what he should do.

And Zhang Fan's later words are simply a twist and turn for him. Really. This life goes up and down too fast. It's just a little too exciting.

"Inferior Liang Chao is punished." Liang Chao said. There was a knock on the head. I got up and went to the back to help.

Zhang Fan looked at Liang Chao. Didn't say anything. I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Your Excellency. What should I do now? Wang Meng asked.

"Hmm. Now it's a bit of a hassle. We'll have to think about it. See how you can fulfill your majesty's commands. And don't make it too messy. Zhang Fan touched his chin and said.
