Liu Fan laughed and said, "You are not afraid of the crime of bullying the king!" Are you afraid of this? After that, he took out the brocade box from Wu Tao's hand and took out the Shang Fang sword that Chongzhen handed over to him.

Liu Fan took Shang Fang's sword and threatened: "This is this thing, you recognize it!" Now this official has evidence that your Yan family colluded with the Jin Tartars to sell weapons and collect intelligence for the Tartars, which is really treason! Someone! Take it for me! ”

As soon as Liu Fan's words fell, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and pressed Yan Xiuzhi down! Yan Xiu's heart was bitter, he really didn't expect Liu Fan to have this thing in his hand, if he had known that this was the case, he wouldn't dare to offend this evil star by saying anything! But the matter has come to this point, and Yan Xiuzhi can only admit it! Otherwise, if someone kills him, it will be in vain, even if Liu Fan is impeached in the future, the Yan family will be gone by then! He didn't want the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Yan family to be destroyed in his own hands, so he had no choice but to say to Liu Fan, "My lord!" The Yan family knew that it was wrong! I implore you to raise your noble hand and spare the Yan family once! Great grace to adults! The Yan family will be unforgettable! ”

Liu Fan scoffed: "Don't give me these false things!" You Yan family! Now rob my wife and slap me in the face? Do you want to know your mistakes and think about them a hundred? Then how can I, Liu Fan, still mix in Shandong? ”

Yan Xiuzhi's face was even worse when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly, "My lord! Say what to do! As long as you can let the Yan family go, I will promise you what I can do! Even if you want my life, just take it! ”

Liu Fan laughed: "What's the use of asking for your life?" Then his face changed, and he said fiercely, "What I want is your Yan family's property!" If you want you to hand over your Yan family's property, I will spare your life!" ”

Yan Xiuzhi's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "My lord! No, I can't! My Yan family has given you all the family property, how can hundreds of people live? ”

"I don't care about that! All I need is money! If you refuse to give it, then I can only take it myself! Someone! Pass my orders! The artillery team adjusts the shooting of Zhuyuan and prepares to attack the city! Liu Fan ordered loudly

Yan Xiuzhi's face turned pale when he heard Liu Fan's order! Shouted, "My lord! Don't! 500,000 taels! 500,000 taels to buy my Yan family's next life! My lord! Now there are not too many silver taels in my Yan family, most of the assets of the Yan family are shops and land, you can't get it even if you break the village! Think again, sir! ”

Liu Fan pretended to think for a while, and then said half-loudly, "What you said also has some truth!" So be it! As long as your Yan family hands over all the land deeds, house deeds, and silver, how about I stop? ”

Yan Xiuzhi smiled bitterly, "My lord! What you say is difficult to do! Don't tell the adult! Most of these shops of our Yan family are distributed all over the country, and they all have shares of local wealthy families, local officials and even Beijing officials, it's not something I can give! ”

"What about the land? There is no land! Liu Fan said hurriedly

Yan Xiuzhi continued to answer, "Most of the land of the Yan family is the public property of the clan and the "contributions" of the clansmen, and some of it is the Kong family! The Yan family is just in escrow! ”

Liu Fan was furious: "This can't work, that won't work!" I think it's better to do it directly! ”

"Wait! Wait! Thirty percent! Is 30% good? When it comes to the root of the Yan family, Yan Xiuzhi doesn't care about maintaining his image, and bargains like a trader

Liu Fan felt that it was enough to be hot, and he didn't bother to entangle with the Yan family, so he said directly, "500,000 taels, plus fifty percent of the land, now you go back and prepare, and hand it over to me in one hour!" The hour is over! Fire now! ”

Seeing Liu Fan's impatient face, Yan Xiuzhi also realized that this was Liu Fan's last limit, sighed and stopped speaking, turned around and walked towards the Yan family lonely! Even if Yan Jizhi's screaming and shouting were deaf.

Liu Fan didn't know how the Yan family discussed, anyway, before the time came, Yan Xiuzhi returned to Liu Fan's military camp with nearly 100,000 taels of silver and more than 50,000 acres of land deeds. and pleaded with Liu Fan: "My lord! Now this is all the existing silver taels and land deeds of the Yan family, and the rest are not at home, and I hope that the adults will give them a few days, and they will all be handed over to the adults within half a month! ”

Liu Fan laughed, patted Yan Xiuzhi on the shoulder and said, "Wouldn't it be okay to do this earlier?" If you have to force me to do it, we don't look good on our faces when we are angry! All right! Take your great talent with you! Remember to get things delivered on time! Otherwise, I won't spare you! ”

Liu Fan waved his hand to let Li Xiaohu let go of Yan Jizhi, ignoring the two Yan family members with ugly faces, and directly ordered, "Withdraw the army!" ”

On the way back, Wu Tao asked with some confusion: "My lord!" Why don't you wipe out the Yan family? There is a way that there will be trouble when the tiger returns to the mountain, and today we surround the Yan family to ask for property and land. The Yan family will definitely take revenge in the future! ”

Liu Fan smiled: "I just want them to take revenge!" If they don't retaliate, how can I have an excuse to get rid of them? After Shandong, it will be the territory and foundation of our broken army, and it will have a bearing on the success or failure and development of our broken army. A good reputation is very important to us, "not to teach and punish" is good to do, how can the people of Shandong be convinced by just one crime of bullying the king? Only if they do it first will we have enough reason to uproot them. ”

"Moreover, the Yan family is a wealthy family in Shandong, and its sphere of influence radiates to the entire southeast of Jiaozhou, as the saying goes, "things gather by like, people by groups" and the Yan family must also be a big clan in Jiaozhou, and the Yan family wants to take revenge on our own strength is still insufficient, and will definitely contact these people to act together. When the time comes, I will be able to do it in one go, and it will save us a lot of time and energy. It is conducive to the rapid development of our captive army. ”

Wu Tao listened to Liu Fan's explanation, his heart was full of admiration, and he exclaimed, "My lord! What a foresight you have! ”

Liu Fan smiled a little and said, "What a far-sighted plan, it's just a stupid person's stupid method!" This is a clear conspiracy, and it is a person who can see it! ”

Wu Tao asked with some worry when he heard this: "Then will they be fooled after they find out?" ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "After suffering such a big loss, how could the Yan family give up easily?" But we also have to press it a little bit more and give them enough pressure and motivation! ”

Then Liu Fan called Wang Yong and strictly ordered, "Pay close attention to the Yan family's every move, don't be a little sloppy, what the Yan family does every day, I have to know who I see!" Can it be done? ”

Wang Yong bowed down and said, "I will do my best!" ”

After solving the affairs of the Yan family, Liu Fan returned directly to Shihe, but he didn't expect that as soon as Liu Fan arrived home, Sun Yuanhua came directly to the door, and as soon as they met, he wanted Liu Fan to ask, "You robbed the Yan family yesterday?" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Liu Fan asked

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly said: "Something is wrong!" Governor Zhu knew that he had sent an official document and was coming from Jinan! ”
