After that, Yan Shifan let Yan Hong go. Yan Hong returned to his yard, but saw that Hu Wanniang and Shen'er were there, so he told them that he might have to go to Jiangnan for a long trip. He knew that the master and servant did not have any insight into national affairs, and he did not intend to explain the complicated situation to them clearly, but only said in general terms that Xu Hai, the leader of the Japanese in Jiangnan, had been arrested, and the Governor of Lu asked me to handle it with Yan Qianhu.

When the late mother heard this, she had seen a little ruddy face recently, and a smile appeared: "The concubine also heard that the widow burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil." It is also the light of the lintel to go to the public, punish the first evil, set an example for the party, and eliminate harm for the people. ”

Yan Hongxin said, you put a high hat on me slowly, as a husband, this is not to kill the widows, but to release the widows. But Shen'er said: "I heard that the widows are very fierce, my uncle is going, but you have to be careful of yourself, the little maid often hears people say that the gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, so she carefully hit the plot." ”

Yan Hong secretly admired, this girl still cares about us. If it weren't for the late mother by his side, he would have to knock down the pendant and make love again.

The three of them were talking about a tower without a tower, but they saw Yan Shifan's cronie Yan Xing come to report: "Young master, the master is invited." ”

Yan Hong was stunned: "What, didn't you just come out of the study?" But since his father has a life, he is also busy resigning from his late mother and Shen'er, and follows Yan Xing. This time, it was Yan Shifan's own study that he went.

At the door of entering, Yan Shifan sat on a chair, his face was silent, but there was a cold light in his eyes. Yan Hong knew that his grandfather was not there, and this cheap old man didn't have a good face for himself, so he didn't say much, and knelt down and kowtowed obediently.

Sure enough, just after kowtowing, Yan Shifan slapped the table: "What a son!" Good work you do! ”

This was a few months ago, and Yan Hong should have trembled. But now he has long been used to it, anyway, Yan Shifan is like this to himself, it's right to be wrong, first hold the three crutches. He muttered to himself in his heart, and his face pretended to be frightened: "The child is dull, please teach your father a lesson." ”

After Yan Shifan finished scolding, he suddenly changed his face again, and said with a long sigh: "You said that you are greedy and lustful, and it is not good to flirt with anyone, but you want to flirt with Lu Bing's daughter." Now, Lu Wenfu gave you such a problem, but how are you good? ”

Yan Hongxin said, I see that you are giving me a problem. But he said: "The child knows his mistake, but since the military order has been issued, he has to do his best." ”

Yan Shifan said: "Hong'er, there are some things that I can't say clearly when you are your grandfather. Did you do this casually? Xu Hai is now the leader of the Imperial Court Army, second only to Wang Zhi. If you really go and release him, not to mention the verbal attacks in the court, just the mob in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have suffered from the Japanese invaders, I am afraid that they will bite you to death one by one! ”

Yan Hong couldn't help but stare at his father, I'll wipe it, the sun is coming out in the west, you Yan Shifan, Yan Donglou, Xiaoge Lao, a ruthless traitor, actually care about public opinion?

Yan Shifan said again: "Lu Wenfu is bent on saving Xu Hai, in my opinion, he must have benefited in the middle." But he reaped the benefits, but he asked my Yan Mansion to go to the top post, which is so calculating! Hong'er, do you know that in today's court, some people have already said that Hu Zongxian was greedy for bribes and colluded with the Japanese robbers. It's Hu Zongxian, but it's me and your grandfather. That Li Wenzao, as far as I know, has been very close to Xu Jie recently. If you really let Xu Hai go this time, no matter whether the most reluctant recruit An Cheng or not, this suspicion of colluding with the Japanese is a melon field and a plum, don't think about clearing it. ”

Yan Hong said: "I'm not afraid of crooked shadows, and my Yan Mansion didn't really collude with the Japanese to accept bribes, I'm afraid that he will gossip and gossip!" Before the words fell, he saw that his father Yan Shifan's face was extremely ugly, and quickly changed his words: "Then, with Daddy's high opinion, what should the child do?" ”

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Yan Shifan's mouth, and he slashed his hand down, making a murderous posture.

Yan Hong's face was terrified: "This ...... Who are you going to kill? Kill Lin County Order or Governor Li? Could it be that my father wants me to lead the Jinyi Guards and attack the prison pretending to be a widow? I'm afraid it's hard to keep it a secret. ”

Yan Shifan almost sprayed him with a mouthful of old blood: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" For the father, I told you to kill Xu Hai! ”

The horror on Yan Hong's face added a little more: "Cocoa, the military order given to me by Governor Lu Dadu is to protect Xu Hai." Moreover, if Xu Hai dies, the Japanese will inevitably land on a large scale to retaliate, and won't the soldiers and civilians in this coastal area all suffer? Even the false achievements reported by Uncle Zhao last time have all been exposed, and my Yan Mansion will also be implicated. ”

Yan Shifan snorted coldly: "What do the soldiers and civilians in the coastal area have to do with you?" Even if you don't kill Xu Hai, there have been hundreds of thousands of dead people for more than 100 years. This kind of blessing and misfortune from heaven, is it your little brocade cloth Wei Qianhu who is the master? As for Zhao Wenhua, he was originally a wine bag and rice bag, greedy for other people's merits, not only could he not wipe it clean, but also affected my Yan Mansion. Now, let's just cut off this bane. ”

Yan Hong never imagined that his father would be so ruthless. He hurriedly asked, "What should the child do in Daddy's opinion?" ”

Yan Shifan's tone had softened a lot at this time. He patted Yan Hong's shoulder: "Hong'er, you are still young and don't know the danger of this officialdom battle." Zhao Wenhua was originally an immature wolf. Don't look at him at this time in front of his father, he has a little favor in front of the heavenly family, and he wants to climb on the head of his father. Now in the case of Xu Hai in Jiangnan, no matter whether Xu Hai is dead or alive, there will always be trouble. If Xu Hai died, the Japanese invaders landed on a large scale, and Zhao Wenhua's previous war report on bullying the king was leaked; If Xu Hai does not die, it will be even more difficult to clear up the rumors of collusion with the Japanese Kouyun. Besides, the nature of the jackal of the Xu Sea, if he has to return to the sea, he will inevitably be a bandit again, this person is fierce and cunning, and his wisdom is extraordinary, and he will eventually be troubled. Therefore, if your father wants you to go, you can't let Xu Hai be killed by Lin Yangqian. But after taking it out of the Sanyin County Prison, you must secretly remove that Xu Hai in your hands. After that, the father has his own considerations. ”

Yan Hong said: "But my grandfather told me to keep Xu Hai." ”

Yan Shifan sneered: "Your grandfather is old, soft-hearted, and he doesn't want to implicate his godson Zhao Wenhua. But he forgot that some time ago, Zhao Wenhua was talking nonsense in front of the Heavenly Family, which brought a lot of trouble to my Yan Mansion! Hong'er, you can do this according to your father's instructions. Your grandfather's side, I'll talk about it. After you take him out, just find an opportunity to poison him. ”

Yan Shifan had already made up his mind at this time. As soon as the news from Yan Hong's side came, he immediately took the lead and impeached Zhao Wenhua. As for Zhao Wenhua being stabbed, whether he was directly beheaded or dismissed, he didn't care. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, and this lizard's tail is used to regain the initiative in the southeast Japanese incident, and ensure that the advantage above the court will not be lost. It's better than being held by Lin Yangqian and Li Wenzao in their hands, which makes Yan Fu uncomfortable.

Yan Hong said: "Then grandpa, how to explain?" ”

Yan Shifan snorted coldly: "Today's events, God knows, you know and I know, don't let his old man know the way?" In hindsight, the father has his own measure. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, Mr. Liang will come. ”

Yan Hongrao knew that this father was ruthless, and his face couldn't help but be a little frightened. Yan Shifan said with a smile: "Hong'er, you are the third-generation eldest grandson of my Yan Mansion, and these methods will be indispensable in the future." It's late today, so let's get ready tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. ”

Yan Hong received his father's order, and in chaos, he returned to the study, wanting to find a clean place and sort out his thoughts. After all, the complexity of this matter is much more complicated than the Andingmen murder case. Andingmen meeting, although it was also sandwiched between Zheng Xiao and Gao Gong was difficult, but after all, there was the entire Yan Mansion as a backing.

And now, the ideas between father Yan Shifan and grandfather Yan Song are not the same. If you talk about intimacy or humility, of course, you will listen to your grandfather and protect Xu Hai's life. But to disobey the words of his father Yan Shifan again...... It's chilling to think about.

was pondering for a while, but the door opened, and it turned out that Shen'er had come into the study. The relationship between the two now, after all, is different from the past. When Yan Hong saw Shen'er, he smiled and said, "What? Missed your uncle? There is no one left and right, let my uncle and I hug me. ”

Shen'er's face turned red with shame, and he hurriedly dodged: "Uncle, you, I just said that you have changed for the better this time, but I don't know that it has broken a lot." Don't mess around, Zhao Dasikong is waiting for you in the study in the front yard. But how did she dodge Yan Hong's hand, but she was hugged firmly, so she had to let Yan Hong bite twice on her face before letting go.

Yan Hong said: "This Zhao Wenhua and I have nothing to do with each other, but what are you doing today?" Shen'er, uncle, I will go to Zhejiang the day after tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back in two or three months. When the time comes, I don't know if you will forget your uncle and me, this little girl. ”

As soon as Shen'er heard this, she leaned her body into Yan Hong's arms and said in a low voice: "Uncle is a person who does big things, so naturally there must be a time when he is away from home." It's just that my uncle can rest assured, wherever you go, the slave and maid are thinking about you in their hearts. ”

Yan Hong kissed her on the forehead again before stepping to the study in the front yard. I saw Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry today, sitting there in a regular dress with a gauze hat and a round neck. He is Yan Song's son, and he is also Yan Hong's elder, and he pretends to be an elder on weekdays. But today, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hey, I shouldn't have bothered my nephew, but the matter is urgent, I don't dare to delay, foolish uncle Meng Lang." ”

Yan Hong knew that Zhao Wenhua was here, most of which was related to Xu Hai. He also remained silent, bowed to each other, and sat down as guests and hosts. Zhao Wenhua was no longer polite, and said straight to the point: "Eldest prince, I heard that you have been ordered by Governor Lu to go to Shanyin County to handle Xu Hai's case. During this trip to Jiangnan, Uncle Yu asked you to do something. ”
