Zhang Fan pretended to put his hand against his chin, and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something, and Liu Shan on the side saw Zhang Fan like this, and did not bother him out of voice, just patiently waiting for Zhang Fan's reply.

For a long time, the rich and fragrant aroma of wine is still floating in the air, so that the wine lovers are salivating, but none of the two people present want to raise a glass to drink, in the distance of sleep, the lights on the flower shop can still let the people here see clearly, but just now it seems that some of the sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard has long stopped, and the hour has gradually become late, but the two people here still do not have a trace of wanting to rest, this should be calm down and rest, but there are many things hidden in it, conspiracies, tricks, alliances, or rather, ambitions.

A long time passed inadvertently, Zhang Fan felt that his play was almost over, no longer pretending to be so deep, picked up the wine jug on the table in front of him and poured his wine glass full of wine, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one sip, it seemed that with the wine entering the stomach, the dust had settled, and the final answer was coming.

"Father-in-law Liu," Zhang Fan spoke again, his expression was still very serious, but this time, under such seriousness and coldness, Zhang Fan's eyes also revealed a taste of intimacy, "Zhang Fan wants to ask, what is the way for Gonggong Liu to let Zhang Fan not only let go of this matter and not pursue it, but also be able to return to His Majesty to make a difference, and not let His Majesty see what Zhang Fan has done in this matter, you must know that beauty wealth is certainly what Zhang Fan wants, but the word power is important to put on these two things." , although Zhang Fan is a profit-seeking person, but he also understands a matter of priority, if you lose the most important thing, that is, give me a mountain of gold and silver, then I don't care about it,"

Liu Shan listened to Zhang Fan's words, and did not answer immediately, but his face suddenly showed a heartfelt smile, he knew that Zhang Fan was tempted, no longer talking about other things, not asking how much benefit he could get, but directly discussing the possibility of solving the problem in front of him, this is the most correct performance of doing great things, and Zhang Fan's power-first remarks and ideas also made Liu Shan feel that he was ready to defect to Zhang Fan's idea that he was absolutely not wrong, and what he wanted was a strong backing. A person who can have more and more rights in the future, who can save his backing in more bad situations, rather than a narrow-minded person who is only bent on pursuing money and beauty, and has no ambition to go further.

Originally, Liu Shan and Zhang Fan only met a few times, and did not know Zhang Fan very well, he came to Yangzhou in Zhang Fan, and after meeting him a few times, he also had a general understanding of Zhang Fan, but after all, he knew the face and did not know the heart, and did not understand a person thoroughly, how could he completely pick out the truth of the matter with him to discuss the conditions, so Liu Shan did not bother less for this matter, and gave his own backer in Beijing, and the eunuch Meng Chong sent a lot of secret letters to ask Zhang Fan about the situation; Liu Shan himself privately sent someone to Beijing to inquire about any news about Zhang Fan.

But Zhang Fan's news is really not much for him to hear, and the time for Zhang Fan to enter the official career is too short, after Zhang Fan's imperial examination, with the first place in the three yuan, as soon as he entered the official office, he is the prince of the East Palace, this matter can be regarded as a sensation last year, it is not difficult to find, Zhang Fan's first official position, said to be a waiter, but a little bit of the relationship to know the things in the palace people know that Longqing is because he admires Zhang Fan's article when he took the palace, and specially wanted him to teach the prince Zhu Yijun, It's just that because Zhang Fan really doesn't have any qualifications, it's not good to directly mention the position of the prince's reading official, so he was given the official title of an attendant in the East Palace, but some officials outside can't know the situation clearly, thinking that this is just a lie, and this matter has become a fact in the capital, but it has become a rumor outside the capital, but in fact, almost all of Zhu Yijun's courses are taught by Zhang Fan, no, Zhang Fan has made a not-so-small contribution in Mobei, and when Longqing rewarded Zhang Fan, impatiently added the official title of prince and concubine to Zhang Fan, the reason for this, in addition to being because Longqing favored Zhang Fan, didn't it also explain the truth of the rumors.

Speaking of Mobei's affairs, this is the reason why Liu Shan can't understand Zhang Fan more clearly, going to Mobei and I to discuss the Tatar and Ming Fenggong mutual market is not a court secret, and the court also hopes that the people know about this matter, naturally it is hyped, and at that time, Zhang Fan was already incorporated into Jinyiwei by Longqing because Xu Jie didn't like him for various reasons, and that action also became a secret in the court, people who don't know just don't know, and those who know will never talk nonsense, At that time, Meng Chong was still locked up as a eunuch, and he was not the eunuch of the palm print of the celebrant eunuch, plus Jinyiwei had always been a little at odds with the eunuch, and Feng Bao, who had not been in this matter, also regarded Meng Chong as a fierce rival, so naturally he would not tell him about this matter, and Meng Chong had nothing to tell Liu Shan about Zhang Fan.

In this way, Liu Shan didn't know what Zhang Fan did in Mobei and what happened, or Liu Shan couldn't know whether Zhang Fan was a loyal and patriotic person, and he didn't really believe the word "loyalty" in Zhang Fan's title of loyal and brave uncle.

Therefore, Liu Shan never planned to take refuge in Zhang Fan at all, told him his secrets, and put himself in a predicament, but after so many days, Zhang Fan's news was still as he knew at the beginning, and he didn't have much of a family, and the limited contact with Zhang Fan only knew that Zhang Fan was a person who didn't care about the reason for the bribes he sent, and only cared about accepting them, and it seemed that Zhang Fan was also an insatiable person, although this made Liu Shan feel a lot more relieved, but just by virtue of these, Liu Shan still didn't dare to make a conclusion to Zhang Fan without authorization, he has always strived for perfection in doing things, and Liu Shan would not make a move without 100% certainty.

But now, as the days passed, Liu Shan gradually began to panic, there was no countermeasure against Zhang Fan here, and even Luo Ling'er, who she sent to Zhang Fan, came back, according to her, because Zhang Fan didn't like her, so she came back; There is no solution in the capital, seeing that he is getting more and more dangerous, Liu Shan is now the only way to do this, this is a gamble, he Liu Shan gambled that Zhang Fan would agree to his request, after all, the bribe he gave to Zhang Fan before, Zhang Fan has never refused, and he has also seen Zhang Fan's eyes when he looks at Luo Ling'er, and knows that it is not that Zhang Fan looks down on her, but that Zhang Fan does not want to spoil his own big things because of a woman.

In this way, Liu Shan dared to return to Zhang Fan and confess all the things, and asked for his protection, this is a big gamble, Liu Shan bet on a lot of his property for this, and he has no certainty of victory, just now he said that he wants to give Luo Ling'er to Zhang Fan is just a beginning, the real temptation is from the beginning when he asked Zhang Fan and Luo Ling'er to worship heaven and earth, the dignitaries married a dusty woman as a concubine and there is nothing new, but no one will never do anything fanfare to worship heaven and earth, After all, this is not a glorious thing, and Luo Ling'er's identity is very special, and there must be many officials who go to drink the wedding wine when the time comes, and Liu Shan does not believe that Zhang Fan will not know, and if this is the case, Zhang Fan can still agree to Liu Shan's request, then it shows that Zhang Fan really has this intention and wants more benefits, so that Liu Shan will tell Zhang Fan all the things.

However, in fact, Liu Shan still has a lot of worries, he is worried that Zhang Fan will suddenly make trouble and let people arrest him, although Zhang Fan can't find the account books he has hidden as ironclad evidence to punish himself, but once he enters the prison of Jinyiwei, what kind of treatment will he receive, he himself knows very well, at that time, let alone what glory and wealth it is, I am afraid that he can die without any pain, it is a huge luxury for him.

And now, everything is clear, Zhang Fan did not suddenly attack, and he did not say his own thoughts, which proves that Liu Shan himself is right, he won in this gamble, and now, Liu Shan also knows that Zhang Fan is an ambitious person, although he may ask for more silver from himself in the future, but this is nothing, as long as Zhang Fan can continue to take the position, then he will have more rights, then Liu Shan himself will have a way to continue to expand his "business" scope, So as to satisfy Zhang Fan's appetite.

Of course, although these are very important, but not the most important, the most important thing is that Liu Shan knows that he is safe, but just like the words of Confucius recorded in the "Analects": "People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries," Liu Shan has no worries in the future, and he has relaxed his vigilance for the various crises that are imminent because he himself cannot see clearly, and the silent alarm bell rings in front of him, how can he hear it.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured," Liu Shan said confidently, "Since our family has proposed this article, then there is naturally a way to help the adults get this credit, and when the time comes, Your Majesty's face will be happy, and the official positions of the adults will also be higher, but I hope that the adults will not forget our family when the time comes,"

When Zhang Fan heard his words, a smile reappeared on his face, and he asked, "Zhang Fan listens to Gonggong Liu's high opinions,"
