Internal and external events are presided over by Yan Hong and Xu Wenchang. Young Master Hu San is like a fairy, he has a lot of joy here, and he doesn't think about it. Yan Hong told him those restraint methods, and he also tasted new ones. Although Young Master Hu San often arranged to beat people in the past, it was rare to do it himself, not to mention that most of the beatings were men. Now it's a different taste.

Time flies like an arrow, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, in the afternoon of this day, someone came to report that Lin Yangqian and Lin Lao Ling Yin were visiting. Yan Hong was taken aback, this Lin Zhixian is the main hall of Shanyin, and there are only travelers to worship guests, how can there be a reason for the local civil officials to worship him, a foreign military attaché? Not to mention the previous quarrel between the two sides, which has basically become like fire and water. Now, what is this Lin Yangqian doing?

However, after all, officialdom etiquette still has to be taught, not to mention that in Yan Hong's opinion, although Lin Yangqian is hostile to his own position, he is also a clean official. At that moment, he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered someone to invite him. After a while, I saw Lin Zhixian dressed in regular clothes and came to the inn. The expression on that face was peaceful, but it was very different from when the knife and gun were facing each other at the gate of the county government.

After the two greeted each other, they came to Yan Hong's room and sat down together. Yan Hong asked, "I don't know if Lin Lao Ling Yin came here today, what do you have to say?" "He's ready, you're kind to say, and I'm kind to you. If you speak evilly, I am ready to turn my face and turn the table at any time!

But seeing that Lin Yangqian had changed his appearance today, he was completely a good gentleman's face, and arched his hand: "Yan Xiaoxianggong, there was a lot of offense between the words that day, and he was an official in the same dynasty, and asked Xiaoxianggong not to be surprised." ”

Yan Hong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and he was even more confused. However, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that this upright and upright official is willing to go out to the low pile, which is really rare. He also bowed his hand and said, "Where did Lin Lao Lingyin say it?" We had some misunderstandings with each other before, and we all blamed our young and shallow knowledge, rude behavior, and I hope that Lin Lao Ling Yin has a lot, and Mo is a martial artist with me. ”

The two of them each took half a step back, politely and politely, so they smiled, and they looked at each other and smiled with a sense of enmity. Yan Hong hurriedly instructed the attendant Jinyi Wei to put tea and snacks. Lin Yangqian drank two sips of tea, and waited for Jinyiwei to retreat, then he said: "Yan Xiaoxianggong, I really don't hide it, the lower officials are here for Xu Hai, a thief." This guy is second only to Wang Zhi as the head of the Kou, and the year he is the Kou is still above Wang Zhi. Over the years, they have attacked states and counties, poisoned people, and killed countless people. He was originally a Chinese, but he colluded with foreigners, invaded his homeland, and killed his compatriots and fellow villagers. Yan Xiaoxianggong doesn't hate such a thief? ”

Yan Hong knew that Lin Yangqian would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he really went straight to the point and said the real purpose. Seeing that the other party actually used nationalist means, Yan Hong was also solemn. Why didn't you have similar feelings in your previous life? It's just that some things are not as simple as a knife and a shot.

At that moment, Yan Hong said: "Lin Lao Lingyin, since Yan is a Ming courtier, how can he not hate a thief like Xu Hai?" If you cut it in two with righteous indignation, it is simple. It's just that after thinking about it, now Hu Lao Duxian is designing to recruit the Japanese and the East China Sea. And Xu Hai's willingness to be recruited ashore is a key part of it. Killing Xu Hai is insignificant, but as soon as Xu Hai dies, Hu Duxian's recruitment will be in vain, and the Japanese will raise troops and horses to avenge the Xu thief. When the time comes, the people will be devastated, and all the people will suffer, and I don't know how many people will die. The so-called lesser of two evils, I have to try my best to ensure that Xu Hai's head does not fall. And since Xu Hai admonished Yin in the old Lingyin of Menglin, Yamen, Shanyin County, he has now repented, and said more times that his family has sins and hates to die to atone for his sins. Now he is left to the body of sin, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for the heavenly family. Although Lin Lao Ling Yin has never cut off Xu Hai's head, in fact, he has killed Xu Hai, a wicked and unscrupulous widow, and gave birth to Xu Hai, a good citizen who has made meritorious service and atonemented his sins, which can be described as an outstanding achievement. ”

In Yan Hong's heart, he still respects Qing officials to some extent. At the gate of the yamen a while ago, in order to rescue Xu Hai, he had to pour sewage on Lin Yangqian and attack him with bad words. But now that Xu Hai is in his hands, Lin Yangqian has come over to discuss it seriously, and Yan Hong has also explained the reason to him. He also deliberately vaguely said that Xu Hai was captured by Lin Yangqian after Zhao'an, but instead put the credit for Xu Hai's change of mentality on Lin Yangqian's head. The meaning is very clear, as long as you Lin County Zunken is willing to take half a step back here, Yan will never treat you badly.

Lin Yangqian heard Yan Hong say this, but he was also slightly stunned. Then he shook his head and said: "Yan Xiaoxiang's words are also wrong, the Japanese send troops, and their own soldiers and horses resist it, if they blindly recruit peace, what is the use of raising soldiers?" You are in the inn, but you don't know the way, now the people of Shaoxing are talking about it, and it is rumored that the Japanese have bribed high-ranking officials in the DPRK with a lot of money, and they want to buy Xu thief to not die. If the will to pardon Xu Thief really comes, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be turbulent, and it will hinder the prestige of our court and the reputation of Yan Ge, and Yan Xiaoxiang must not be investigated. ”

In fact, what the other party said was vague, and Yan Hong also understood it, what high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China clearly referred to his grandfather Yan Song, as for who released the rumors of the people, you don't need to think about it.

In Yan Hong's previous life, this hand was used by many people, that is, the so-called creation of gossip, inciting people's emotions and confusing the public. Now this method has been played in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very smooth. The reputation of the Yan family's father and son was originally like that, basically without being slandered by others, as long as the facts were stated, they were already as black as coal. The so-called debts are not worried, lice are not itchy, and no one cares about adding two or three to him.

Moreover, the people of Shaoxing themselves also have resistance to the Yan family. You must know that Shen Lianke is a native of Shaoxing, and this Shaoxing genius is now eating old rice at the border, all thanks to the father and son of the Yan family. There are still many clansmen in the Shen family in Shaoxing, what can these clansmen think of the Yan family in their hearts?

Even if they were not relatives and friends of the Shen Lian family, when they heard that the talented son of Hongxiang was framed because he refused to attach himself to the powerful people in the court, he was naturally relished and filled with righteous indignation. Of course, this does not affect many Shaoxing masters to go to the Yan Mansion to be curtain guests, nor does it affect the local big businessmen in Shaoxing to collude with the Yan family, honor the Yan Mansion, and obtain the convenience of power. After all, it is one thing to clear the discussion, and it is another thing to make interests.

Not to mention the fact that this kind of thing is to collect money and release the widows, it is indeed the version that the people like to see, what corrupt officials take bribes, and secretly release thieves and chiefs, it is like a performance on the stage. If there is another Qingtian lord who enforces the law impartially and kills the treacherous evil, it can be regarded as a successful ending. He forcibly seized Xu Hai in the Yamen of Shanyin County, and then trapped himself in the inn, which did provide excellent material for the YY of the people. At this time, the public opinion of the outside world can be seen from the performance of the visiting Xu Wenchang's old friends.

However, as the so-called brine points tofu, one thing drops one thing. If Yan Hong was an official from Jinshi Kejia, he really had to consider the public opinion and popularity. However, since Yan Hong is now a military minister, and he is an official relying on the power of his grandfather and Lu Bing, these things are of little significance to him for the time being.

Therefore, he smiled slightly: "Lin Lao Lingyin, my generation is an official, and I should focus on national and civil affairs, and my personal reputation is vain, so why worry about it?" The Japanese are ferocious, and they must be used at the same time. If you blindly recruit security and do not use arms, you can only make the Japanese more arrogant; However, if you blindly attack and do not give a way, then the big and small Japanese robbers will resist desperately and stubbornly, and it will not be easy to exterminate them all. Therefore, Hu Lao Duxian sent troops to suppress the Kou on the one hand, and recruited peace and kindness on the other. This Xu Haiken went ashore and was carnied, which can be said to be a person with an unclear conscience among the Japanese invaders. If he does a good job of recruiting security, the rest of the widows will inevitably be shaken. On the contrary, if he was killed instead, those traitors who were intended to be enemies of the court happened to coerce their subordinates and counterattacked. Lin Lao ordered Yin to be an official in the southeast, and he should know how the soldiers and horses of the southeast court are. If you can't resist the Japanese with pure military strength, the people along the coast will suffer again, and Lin Lao Ling Yin can't bear to see the army and the people bloody? ”

Lin Yangqian continued to shake his head: "No, Yan Xiaoxiang's words, because it is difficult to suppress the Japanese and the imperial court is insufficient, it is necessary to change the suppression to the appeasement, which is not the case." For the soldiers, it is the duty of the court horse leather shroud. When the Japanese invaders, they stabbed and shot him with a knife, and they were alive and dead. How can it be that because of the great power of the Japanese invaders, it will be easier for the court to rule the law, so that the wicked can be relieved? Yan Xiaoxianggong, don't make mistakes again and again! ”

Yan Hong found that Lin Yangqian's guy was really a toast and didn't eat, and the more polite you were to him, the more energetic he became. In addition, it is difficult to agree with Lin Yangqian's view that he does not have back pain when he stands and talks. Bite? You are a civil official, so you say that it is your duty to say that the military attache is shrouded in horse leather? If you don't listen to good words, then Lao Tzu will not be polite. Anyway, you alone can't snatch out Xu Hai, right?

Immediately, Yan Hong sneered: "That's it, Lin Ling Yin is really worthy of the first-class loyalty of the national dynasty." In this way, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it doesn't matter if you live or die, it doesn't matter if you can eliminate the Japanese invaders, and it doesn't matter if the people along the coast suffer or not. In this case, why don't Lin Lao Ling Yin also throw his pen from Rong, go to sea to kill thieves, and kill the Japanese with a knife and a shot! ”

Lin Yangqian really couldn't imagine that the other party would throw out such a sentence, which is too unreasonable and not in line with the habits of officialdom. I am a civil official, and the responsibility of a civil official is to speak, make speeches, and scold the incompetence of the martial arts. Civil officials can scold the emperor, be spanked, and beheaded, but they are not obliged to charge into the battlefield and kill the enemy. Not to mention himself, even Hu Zongxian and others, who are the governors of military affairs as civilian officials, are also formulating strategies in the camp, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield to tear them apart. But for a while, he didn't know how to refute Yan Hong, and he was immediately stunned and speechless.
