Chapter 395: Initiative (I)

Time flies quickly, five days later, but what is strange is that since Yang Zhen went to point out problems with Li Chang, the other party did not come to the door once. www.biquge.info This made Xia Kai and the others mutter, and they were even a little worried.

Finally at noon today, when everyone was having dinner together, Xia Kai couldn't help but ask Yang Zhen's opinion on this: "My lord, do you think this is what the Li family is thinking of to deal with us?" Otherwise, they have to have a response, right? ”

"I don't see it that way. If they approached us in a hurry and accepted my requests very much, then there was something wrong. Yang Zhen shook his head disapprenorantly and said: "In this situation, I am very relieved, obviously they are delaying time, and they are also considering our hole cards." ”

"This ...... The subordinates don't understand too much. Xia Kai frowned in confusion, although he was the most intelligent of the few, but after all, he was just a martial artist, and it was impossible to think too carefully.

Yang Zhen had nothing to do anyway, so he analyzed with him: "Do you think, if someone tells you that he has something you want, will you immediately give money or negotiate with him?" I guess the first thing you have to do is always make sure that what he's in hand is real, right? The situation of the Li family is also average, they have to make sure that we have their handle, and then they can talk to us, otherwise they will be thieves and make a new deal. ”

Hearing him say this, Xia Kai finally understood a little, but then a new question arose: "Then how will they check?" ”

"Quite simply, go to the prairie. So I think they're going to spend a lot of time on that, even if it's normal for a month or two to come to us. Yang Zhen said his judgment.

"Wouldn't we have to wait so long?" Grehei interjected when he heard this.

"The initiative is in my hands, why should I follow their rhythm? I can give them time, but I can't give them too much time. Ten days is my bottom line, so in these two days, I will come to see Li Chang again and put more pressure on him. Yang Zhen laughed and said.

Only then did everyone completely put their minds at ease, it seemed that everything was in the arrangement and calculation of their own thousands of households, and they only needed to do what he was told, and there was no need to be as anxious as before. But at the same time, Xia Kai brought up another thing that he was worried about: "My lord, do you think they are thinking about how to deal with us and take people away from us?" ”

"If the Li family hadn't been dizzy, they wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing. They should also know very well that although a big brain hair is important, it is not enough to be fatal, but it is Jiang Hao who makes them the most uneasy. I've told them now, and I don't think they're going to be reckless enough to take that risk. After explaining, Yang Zhen glanced at them comfortingly: "Don't worry, things are under our control, and there will be no chaos." ”

Yang Zhen said this with confidence, but the development of things was still a bit unexpected to him. Because early the morning of the second day after he said this, Li Chang waited for the door to meet him with a humble smile.

Regarding his sudden visit, although Yang Zhen was a little puzzled in his heart, he was not too worried, thinking that maybe he had come to explore the truth first. But then his words made Yang Zhen understand that he still underestimated the Li family in Taiyuan: "Lord Yang, tonight, at the time of the unitary card, the villain will hold a banquet in the victory building, and please come." At that time, I will also have someone from the Taiyuan Li family to attend and discuss with you about the previous matter. ”

Yang Zhen was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face looked very calm, and he nodded generously: "Since it is your invitation from Foreign Minister Li, I naturally have no reason to refuse." When the time comes, I will definitely go on time. ”

Li saw that he agreed so happily, and he also relieved his heart, and as soon as he threw his hand at him, he took his leave. After he left, several brothers looked at Yang Zhen a little strangely: "My lord, did you say that they reacted so quickly?" ”

Unexpectedly, his reasoning went wrong, which made Yang Zhen a little embarrassed, so he could only touch his nose and say: "It shouldn't look like it, and they don't have the courage to bet on this." In any case, it's not too late to meet the people of the Li family from Taiyuan first. ”

The day passed quickly, and when it was close to Shenshi, Yang Zhen and Cai Yingyang appeared in front of the victory building.

Because of the previous experience, the guy in the shop still knew him, and as soon as he saw him coming, he quickly led him to the top floor again, where the banquet had already been prepared, and everyone had already arrived.

Although it is the same place to hold a banquet, but today whether it is wine or food or personnel are much simpler than the previous time, after all, both sides know that today's drinking is just a faΓ§ade, the most important thing is to talk about it and bargain, so there is no need for those vain things, what singing and dancing, what delicacies of the mountains and seas, before the matter is negotiated, they also have no heart to enjoy.

After inviting Yang Zhen to sit on the top seat, Li Changcai smiled and introduced the middle-aged man with extraordinary appearance in front of him: "Lord Yang, this is Li Heng sent by my Li family in Taiyuan, he can communicate with you on behalf of the Li family." ”

Li Heng smiled at Yang Zhen, and hugged his fists very respectfully: "The name of Yang Qianhu, even I, a small person in Taiyuan, is like thunder, and I can see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous!" ”

Yang Zhen only smiled indifferently: "Brother Li's words are too polite, I dare not be a ...... in the future."

After some greetings and toasts, several people gradually brought the topic to the point.

Li Heng looked at Yang Zhen, although he still had a kind smile on his face, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "I don't know if Yang Qianhu can say what he said to Li Chang in more detail, so that I can have the bottom of my heart." ”

Yang Zhen knew that this was the other party touching his hole cards, and there was nothing to hide about it, so he said: "It seems that Brother Li Heng, you are afraid that I am bluffing." Well, since you asked so directly, I will tell you the truth. I have already learned that your Li family and many generals and officials in Datong colluded with each other to transport some prohibited items such as iron tools and salt to the grassland and sell them to those Tartars for huge profits. However, at that time, I only had some superficial evidence, and I may not be able to confirm the matter. But now, now that I've got my brains out, I think as long as he is willing to tell the public about how your Li family and those officials made dealings with his Chahar Ministry, it will be difficult to tell the difference between your charges, right? ”

Even if they had been mentally prepared, after listening to Yang Zhen's words, Li Heng and Li Chang both quickly changed their faces, it seemed that Yang Zhen did know too many things, which made them even more jealous of him.

However, Li Heng is not an ordinary person after all, after being startled, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a vague smile on his face: "Yang Qianhu's words do have some truth, but I have another opinion, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Brother Li, please speak."

"All of this Yang Qianhu said is just on the basis of making it clear that the person you have in your hands is a big brain. But whether this big brain is a real person or not, I'm afraid that if I say it, it won't count, and what you Yang Qianhu said may not be able to be counted. After all, in our Ming Dynasty, there is really no one who can pat his chest and guarantee that the brain hair you Yang said is a real person, and in this way, all the crimes you are accused of will become water without a source and a tree without roots. I wonder what Lord Yang thinks about this? After saying this, Li Heng's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Zhen to see how he reacted to this.

But the result disappointed him greatly, Yang Zhen didn't seem much uneasy because of his rebuttal, and there was a different smile on the corner of his mouth. After a long time, he stroked his palm approvingly and said: "Brother Li is worthy of being from the Li family in Taiyuan, and this insight and mind are indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Although I know in my heart that this brain hair is indeed his own, as long as you are sure that he is not, in the absence of anyone else to testify, I really have no way to use this argument. ”

Li Heng only smiled disappreciatively at his praise, and then said, "Then I don't know what Yang Qianhu has to say about this?" ”

However, Brother Li also ignored one thing, that is, the imperial court attaches great importance to this kind of thing. As long as I, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Jinyi Wei Qianhu report these evidences, do you think the imperial court will not investigate because of your denial? You should know very well that although the border problem is not as serious as it was at the beginning, Shanxi is still a place that the imperial court attaches great importance to, and neither the Son of Heaven nor the elder of the Pavilion will let any problems arise here. If they knew that someone here might be trading with the Tartars, how would they react? I think that if it were me, I would rather believe this, even if it would cause injustice, but for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the place, and for the sake of the stability of the army, this scourge must be eliminated. As for whether your Li family has been wronged, it is really nothing compared to the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty. I don't know if Brother Li thinks my statement is still reasonable? ”

Li Heng couldn't be as calm as before this time, he didn't expect Yang Zhen, a brocade guard, to have such a grasp of the minds of those in power. Indeed, as he said, once the imperial court knows about this, it will definitely rather kill by mistake than let it go, and this is what the Li family is most worried about.

Seeing his suspicious look, Yang Zhen smiled even more heartily, and then continued to exert pressure: "And I also said before that this big brain is only secondary, and I have another piece of evidence, but you can't get rid of it." Look at what it is? As he spoke, Yang Zhen had already taken out something from his sleeve and threw it to Li Heng opposite.
