But this Shandong matter, after all, is too serious. When Yan Hong and Hai Rui found out the truth in Shandong, it was not at all possible to cover it up if they wanted to, especially when it also involved the Mongols and the White Lotus Sect, Yan Hong had to wipe out the high-level leaders in Jinan headed by Liu Cai. In this way, for Yan Shifan, things are seriously out of control. If Liu Cai was escorted to Jingshi and asked the three law divisions to be punished, Liu Cai would probably just bite like this, just afraid that the Yan Mansion would be bad. Therefore, Yan Shifan sent his henchman Yan Xing to kill Liu Cai in prison, which is called killing people and cutting down the grass and roots.

After Liu Cai finished speaking, he looked at Yan Hong and said: "Virtuous nephew, I don't know how much you know about the actions of the old man Ling Zun Xiaoge, but the old man is very familiar with it." Of course, he had to do his best to protect me before the incident. But I was still shaken out by you, the old man, how can he let me live in the world? It's just that, hum, Liu is not the noodle person who can be manipulated. Could it be that he thought that if Liu's life was lost, he would be able to sit back and relax? In the past few years, Liu has followed Xiaoge Lao to do things, and the letters, codexes, as well as the output of the Yan family's grain farm, the share of the gold mine, and the accounts of the old man are all remembered clearly. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he verified his guess even more, Liu Cai was trying to blackmail Yan Shifan with the evidence in his hand. He remained silent and said with a smile: "Shi Bo is a good method, if these letters and codex can really be exposed to broad daylight, it will not be good for Shi Bo, but it will not be too much trouble for my father and even the entire Yan Mansion." ”

Liu Cai nodded and said, "The virtuous nephew is extraordinary, but there is no need for the old man to say more." Where those things are hidden, the old man knows. The elder of the small pavilion and the virtuous nephew did not know what to do. If you kill the old man. Somebody will take those things out. It was handed over to the old Jingshi Xu Ge. Virtuous nephew, when you were in Beijing for a long time, you saw that Xu Ge Lao was very obedient to Yan Ge Lao, and the two families had no trouble. However, we know that there are many old people in Xu Ge, and now they are the princes of the court second only to Yan Ge. Xu Zisheng had a kind face, but how ruthless he was when he cut off Qiu Luan. He was also promoted by Xia Yan. Expecting the two parties to live in harmony is tantamount to a fool's dream. Virtuous nephew, do you think that if these things are in the hands of Xu Ge Lao, will he cover up the truth for your Yan family and cheat by Mengjun at that time? ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he arched his hand and said: "The old man deserves to be in a high position, and he is really thoughtful. That Xu Ge is old and majestic, but the little nephew also knows a little bit about it. There is a way that is inseparable from relatives, and the little nephew rectifies the affairs of Jinan. Just to report Jun'en and make a meritorious name. There is no intention to embarrass the world. It's just that now this movement is so big, even if the little nephew has the heart to protect it, what can it do? ”

Liu Cai said: "What's the matter, the old man doesn't embarrass you." There is such a big thing in Shandong, if the old man still wants to be an official, it is difficult for a strong man. Virtuous nephew, this matter is also an old man begging for your help. You only need to push Qian Feng and Li Shouzhen out to take the blame, and wipe out all their clans, in front of the heavenly family, it can be regarded as the past to be explained. The old man is not strict, he has the crime of negligence and laziness, and he is also an official who is not honest, and he has been bribed by corrupt officials who have been dismissed from his post for investigation, and he will never be used for the people. The old man's family wealth can be donated to the army and the people after the bloody war in Jinan, which can also be regarded as a meritorious service. However, Wang Xuan's family wealth, the virtuous nephew also asked me to share 20%. In this way, the old man can ensure that he is rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and naturally he will not trouble you again, and you and I will be safe and sound since then, what do you think? ”

Yan Hongxin said: I believe that you have ghosts. In the face of blackmail, you can never back down, otherwise the other party's appetite will only get bigger and bigger, there are two if there is one, there are two and three, when is it a game? Of course, Liu Cai's this is not blackmail, it is bargaining, but the essence is the same. Once you give in to Liu Cai here, it is tantamount to admitting the importance of this handle, so how can the Yan family not be held hostage?

Besides, he also secretly scolded Liu Cai for being short-sighted after all. If you take this evidence, it is equivalent to dragging my godfather Yan Shifan's little JJ, and he will let you have a life of leisure and wealth?

Yan Hong is not perfect about officialdom, but he has little experience in grasping psychology. Since you're going to blackmail me, I'll go back and trick you! He groaned slightly, his heart was already measured, and he smiled at the moment: "The old man has good means, and the little nephew admires it." It's just that the little nephew has something he wants to ask. The former first assistant Xia Yan Xia Guixi is said to be a clean and honest official, I don't know if my uncle knows the way? ”

Liu Cai said: "What does this mean by the virtuous nephew?" As far as I heard, Xia Yan really didn't have any greed for bribes. As for whether it is clear, hehe, even the head has been removed by Xiao Ge Lao, is this clear or turbid, and what is the difference? ”

Yan Hong clapped his hands and said, "Take a photo." Although Xia Yan was upright, he was a stupid man, and his head was removed by my father. So, his protégé Xu Jie, Xu Zisheng, but he doesn't know what his conduct is, is he as unstained as his master and cleans himself? ”

Liu Cai said with a smile: "Xu Zisheng heard that this aspect is very different from Xia Yan, and his family also occupies a wide range of fields in Songjiang, so I am afraid it will not be spotless." Virtuous nephew, you see, the princes of the court and the central government are not flawless, why should you and I seek full blame? ”

Yan Hong also smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Liu Shibo also knows that this Xu Jie's is not a clean official." Then Yi Shibo thinks about it, if you do these businesses, you will share some of the benefits of my father, then Li Shouzhen and Fang Yongxian, the benefits they get from it, does Xu Ge Lao not know about it, and he has not tasted it? ”

As soon as Yan Hong said this, Liu Cai suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yan Hong didn't wait for him to reply, and sneered: "Liu Shibo, I can't hide it, the means of Hai Ruihai's pen holder are unpredictable. What Li Shouzhen and Fang Yongxian did, Xu Zisheng was among them, and he also had a benefit, and he checked it for six or seven points. The one who is afraid of people pinching the handle in his hand is not my Yan family. ”

When Liu Cai heard this, sweat began to seep out of his head. Yan Hong said again: "Later, I will call Li Shouzhen for my little nephew, allow him to live, and then divide his Wang Xuan's three-percent family wealth, do you think he will give me Xu Jie's evidence?" Our Jinan Mansion is chaotic enough, the Yan Party is not like the Yan Party, the Xu Party is not like the Xu Party, and it is not a strange thing to change the court. When the time comes, Xu Zisheng's evidence is in hand, Shi Bo thinks, will he still use the evidence you gave to start a war with my Yan Mansion? ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Cai lost his composure. In this big case in Jinan, is Xu Jie's butt clean, and does Li Shouzhen have something in his hand that can restrain Xu Jie's self-defense? Liu Cai can't confirm these. However, Yan Hong said that he had clearly made a plan for a long time. If he really got Xu Jie's evidence as Yan Hong said, Xu Jie's first priority would definitely be to protect himself, instead of fighting with the Yan family.

Seeing that Liu Cai was silent, Yan Hong was secretly happy in his heart, and knocked on the coffin again: "Uncle Liu, let's tell the truth, these things you did in Jinan are too big." Just being corrupt and perverting the law, it is already difficult to get rid of the crime, let alone hooking up with the White Lotus Sect, it is really an unforgivable crime. You committed this great disaster, and you still want to share Wang Xuan's family wealth and become a rich man, which is too whimsical. I'll give you a way. Hand over the things, and I'll keep one for your family to save your grandson's life." Don't donate your wealth, the stolen money will definitely be confiscated. But for my grandfather's sake, the other idea is to leave your descendants with money for food and clothing. That's all I can do, as for what other ideas you want to play, it's all up to you, and I can't force it. I just think clearly, even if Elder Xu Ge really wants to fight with my Yan Mansion, I'm afraid he won't be able to save the lives of your whole family. ”

Liu Cai looked at Yan Hong in a daze, and only after half a sound did he sigh: "Yan Hong, the old man has confessed." ”

After ordering Liu Cai to be brought back, Yan Hong withdrew Liang Rufei and Xi Tong again, and sat on the chair by himself, his eyes slightly closed. Fang Cai and Liu Cai's battle of wits and courage, he was actually exhausted. Fang Yongxian or Li Shouzhen, whether there is really something about Xu Jie, let's not talk about this. Even if there is, it may not be obediently handed over to you.

In fact, he is deceiving Liu Cai, gambling that he now has the initiative, and Liu Cai is completely unequal in information. Whether it is dead or alive depends on this hammer. It turned out to be a real fraud. Of course, if Liu Cai really wants to be tough to the end, he is afraid that he can only urgently fly to the capital, so that his father and grandfather can be psychologically prepared.

When he returned to the inner house in the evening, Zhang Jingzhai came to worship. Since Zhang Jingzhai hanged himself, he heard that Yan Hong still kept his promise when he was in danger and wanted to flee with his family, so he went to the house with all his heart, and became a think-tank-like figure around Yan Hong. Yan Hong also counts, and he doesn't have the ability to shake the tiger's body, which is completely due to interests. Shandong officialdom is going to change blood this time, which is not only a big crisis, but also a big opportunity. Zhang Jingzhai is the magistrate of Guo County, the city of Shandong Province, and in the siege of Jinan, he was reused by the Qin Cha and performed outstandingly, so he was qualified to be promoted to Lu. It may not be realistic to become a prefect in one step, but you can be a Zuo Er. For example, to make a general judgment, and then to be promoted to Tongzhi, and then to the prefect. As long as you climb the relationship with the Yan family, are you afraid that you will not be eligible for promotion?

In Yan Hong himself, he actually appreciates Zhang Zhixian's conscientious work during the siege of the city, and the courage to resolutely decide to hang himself and martyr on the eve of the city break. Although the steps were a little trembling when I went to hang myself, I was able to walk out of the way. On this point, it is also appropriate to give him a few kind words and help him.

It's just that since ancient times, above the officialdom, no profit is not to get up early, and everything is always a deal. Zhang Zhixian is a smart person, and he probably won't just take the credit of Jinan during the siege of Jinan. I don't know what kind of bargaining chips this Zhang Zhixian wants to come up with in exchange for this promotion opportunity, this is a big deal. (To be continued......)
