Xu Jie didn't get angry but laughed: "You cheap, why are you so confused." Fang Yongxian has the grace of the saint, shields Liu Cai, and should also be beheaded for his crimes. Yan Hong used that despicable means to harm him, although it is hateful, but how do you let the old man make decisions for him? ”

"The old lady is gracious. In the past, I listened to my husband's words, and Liu Cai had evidence of the Yan family's crimes in his hands. Now Liu Cai and my husband are suffering together, most of them are for people. As long as the old lady can find the evidence of the crime, he may be able to bring down the Yan family and seek justice for my husband. ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Is this the case?" ”

Chunxiang said: "The slave doesn't dare to have half a word of falsehood. ”

Xu Jie nodded slowly and said, "The old man has his own measure, you can rest here." Haruka bowed and stepped back.

Xu stepped out to the front hall, and the housekeeper Xu Hua greeted him, with a wine jug in the tray in his hand, and a few side dishes to accompany the wine. Xu Jie said: "Go ahead, just say that I rewarded her with this wine." ”

Xu Hua nodded in agreement. Fang was about to enter the secret room, and Xu Jie said: "Reward her with a good coffin, and count her as loyal and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and she deserves mercy." ”

When Xu Hua entered the secret room, Xu Jie's eyebrows tightened, and he said softly: "The evidence of Yanfu's crimes? It's a bit interesting. ”

Besides, Yan Hong returned to his mansion, but learned that due to the busy official affairs of the cabinet, his grandfather and father were on duty in the cabinet all night. He was not in a hurry, and after some snacks, he went back to the hospital to sleep. I got up early the next morning, washed my face, and finished breakfast, and saw that outside the small courtyard, my own dog slave Yan Xia was waiting respectfully. Yan Hong yawned and said, "Yan Er, what are you doing here?" ”

Yan Xia smiled and said, "Eldest son, my eldest young master." The old slave had something to do outside the other day. Didn't give you a pick-up. I'm here to find you. The former rumored that you had suffered misfortune in Shandong, and the old slave was ...... in his heart."

Yan Hong scolded with a smile: "Don't be busy showing your skills, isn't Yan Hu doing anything weird?" With you, I won't be able to suffer a loss after all, so I went back to the counter and paid five hundred taels of silver, which I rewarded you, young master. ”

Yan Xia was busy thanking him at first, and then said, "Those things." Looking back, they didn't take advantage of it. The old slave is here today, and it is indeed an important matter. Isn't this Zhao Lao Sikong careless and capsized the boat? Now I don't talk about it at home, I heard that it has to be investigated. He didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he remembered that the young master your way to come, I heard that you came back from Shandong, and specially made a post, please eat and drink in Zuixianlou in three days. It's said that it's for you to be scared by the wine. As he spoke, he glanced left and right. He whispered: "This Boss Zhao has been an official for many years, and his purse is very thick, this time he must be ruthlessly extorted for a vote." ”

Yan Hong knew that he must have gained a lot of benefits in it, otherwise he would never be so concerned. He said, "I'm measured." "I took the invitation post and sent Yan Xia away. thought in his heart: I originally promised Zhang Qingyan to avenge her family, but I didn't find a chance for a while. I don't want Zhao Wenhua, the unlucky bastard, to send it to the door by himself, and he deserves his bad luck, so it's no wonder to me.

At this time, I heard that my grandfather and father had come back from Xiyuan, and I couldn't take a break, so I wanted to find Yan Honglai and ask about the summons of the heavenly family last night. He went to the study and honestly reported the events of last night's consecration. When Yan Song heard that the Son of Heaven had given Yan Hong the word Chunchen, an old face suddenly blossomed, and he stroked his palms and said: "It's very good, it's very good." The whole country and the dynasty are respected by my strict family. The Son of Heaven gives words, who can compare? "As for Yan Hong's matter of marrying Sun Yuerong according to the etiquette of his wife, since there is a son of heaven in charge, Lao Yan Song is naturally not easy to entangle.

No matter how dissatisfied Yan Shifan was with Yan Hong, he couldn't have a seizure at this time, so he echoed and smiled: "Hong'er did a good job." The Son of Heaven has been very kind to you, and he has summoned you twice, but in recent years, no one has ever received such a great favor. You must not live up to Long Grace, you must do your best to contribute to the country. You don't have to be too concerned about this concubine matter, you have your own butler to organize it for you. It is the cost of marriage, which is also out of the public account. The gold and silver that you drifted into the house is half left, which is enough for you to marry dozens of times. During your days, you will give me some good reading, and when the Yan family is deliberating, you can no longer be absent at will, you are not enough to learn, and now is the time for you to make up for it from scratch. ”

Yan Hong understands that when his father said this, it was also a disguised admission, which was equivalent to approving his grandfather's proposal last time. In the future, in addition to the three generations of eldest grandsons, he officially became one of the core members of the Yan family's decision-making, and he could be regarded as having his own chair in front of the hall.

As for the matter of the Franc machine man in the trench realm, Yan Shifan also felt that the Franc machine man would not go crazy to provoke Da Ming without incident. But the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is difficult to say what is going on. Therefore, he instructed Yan Hongdao: "The trench is in a remote area, the news of the Jingshi is not smooth, and it is difficult for us to grasp the situation clearly. When the time comes, you just need to remember that you are the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, and the other party is a small people of the Fanbang barbarians, and everything is naturally feasible if you hold this size. ”

Yan Hong nodded hurriedly at the moment. He thought about it for a while, and then told Zhao Wenhua about his treat. Yan Shifan sneered: "Zhao Wenhua's good nose smelled something, so he came to your door." The heavenly family was really angry this time, firstly, he lost too much, leaving countless bad debts; Second, he was too reckless and committed a taboo in the coastal matter. He saw that you had been popular lately, so he wanted you to do something for him. This guy has always been above the top, and he wags his tail and begs for mercy. I thought that my father said that his affairs would have nothing to do with our family in the future, so it would be okay not to attend this banquet. ”

Zhao Wenhua's fall can be traced back to a few months ago, when Yan Hong went to Jinan, it was Xu Jie who instructed Zhou Yan to launch an impeachment attack as the first wave of attacks. The previous Xu Jie, seeing that Yan Hong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to save Xu Hai, let alone the matter of opening the sea ban, won the emperor's wishes, and it was quite difficult to confront it head-on, so he turned to attack the weak links and arranged for Zhou Yan to impeach Zhao Wenhua for his illegal behavior.

Zhao Wenhua took retreat as advance, saying that he couldn't get sick, and asked others to clean up the mess for him, thinking that he could survive this catastrophe by relying on his godfather. Who knows that Xu Jie's combination punch this time is a combination punch, and he succeeds in one blow, and the back moves are endless. After Zhao Wenhua said that he couldn't get sick, there was an engineering department to give Luo the guest in the matter, intending to use Zhao Wenhua's matter to fight for a clear stream of prestige. He used a big killer weapon, united several imperial historians and gave the matter, and raided the accounts.

With Xu Jie's support, the household department sent personnel to intervene, and it went very smoothly. The accounts of the past years were moved out, the treasury was sealed, and they were checked one by one. Although the Ministry of Industry is ranked at the bottom of the six ministries, it is in charge of the construction of national projects and the construction of ordnance. Due to the presence of Yan Shifan, the old man of the small pavilion, the Ministry of Industry is also a little fearless, and in the current accounts, things are too unclean, leaving a lot of tails. At first, the guests thought they had caught a big fish, and they were very happy and continued to dig with their lives. However, after a few days, all the people in charge of the audit turned pale and hastily withdrew their troops.

It's not that the accounts are fine, but the problems are too big! How big is the problem? To the point where a few people are in the middle of the matter, the imperial history can't hold it at all! Several people in charge of the audit immediately reached a tacit understanding: the matter must not be truthfully reported, nor can it be pursued. The amount of money involved in the Ministry of Industry's case is so large and the chain reaction it has triggered is simply not something they can afford.

Not only is the Yan Mansion quite implicated, but in many places, Xu Ge, Lu Sanfu, Lu Bing and other bigwigs of the DPRK and China have been further involved. If the investigation continues, I am afraid that it will attract Yan, Xu and other bigwigs to join forces to encircle and suppress. They couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, the madman surnamed Hai had already gone to Jinan for disaster relief at this time, otherwise this guy would definitely chase and fight frantically by relying on his identity as a speech official. At that time, everyone will not even know how to die.

Fortunately, they stopped in time and accurately targeted Zhao Wenhua and a few of his direct henchmen, so they did not cause any backlash. After hearing the rumors, the Yan family's controlled officials were also very interested, not only did they not save Zhao Wenhua, but they participated in the impeachment, and there was a great chance that Zhao would sacrifice him and save others.

The terms listed by Luo Guest and others alone include embezzlement of project funds, shoddy goods, cutting corners, and so on, and there is also a wanton deficit in the cost of ordnance manufacturing, enriching their own pockets, resulting in a large number of ordnance being unusable. In addition, Zhao's false report of war exploits back then was also revealed.

Zhao Wenhua, who was in the eye of the typhoon, was naturally a tragedy. From sick leave to dismissal, from dismissal to not being allowed to leave Beijing, and waiting to participate behind closed doors. The imperial court also sent a commissioner to investigate the case of the Ministry of Industry again, and there was a tendency to chase and fight fiercely. Zhao Wenhua knew that if he carried all these things by himself, it would be a dead end, so he had to find Yan Song and Yan Shifan to beg for mercy, hoping that the other party would take advantage of the fact that he had been a son for many years and pull him along.

But is the elder of the small pavilion a soft-hearted person? is that Yan Song, although he has always been quite concerned about his godson, but Zhao Wenhua, the godson, did have some things in the past that did make Lao Yan a little unhappy, plus Yan Shifan was watching and muttering, do you want this godson from the old man, or do you want the fifth generation of Yan's mansion? Yan Ge Lao also nodded, and no longer paid attention to Zhao Wenhua's stubble. Who would have thought that this guy was a thief, so he actually took Yan Er's path and sent the post to Yan Hong.

Yan Hong listened to Yan Shifan's general story, and hurriedly said: "If it weren't for my father's guidance, I didn't know that Uncle Zhao would dare to cause such a catastrophe." This is not only my own death, but also the matter of my Yan Mansion. ”

Yan Song pondered for a moment, and also sighed: "Hey, Wenhua Xiao'er, acting ridiculously, there will be today's retribution, and the old man can't save him." Hong'er, you don't have to affect your future for such a person. You just didn't see that post. (To be continued......)
