The breeze blew with a slight coolness.

Mu Fan didn't realize that this coldness was equal to nothing for him.

Mu Cai tightened the clothes on his body, "Grandson, grandpa let you see the full strength of the Mu family." ”

Mu Fan's heart was shocked, "What is Grandpa going to do?"

Mu Cai said with a smile: "The officials in Jiezhou can't be cleaned, but the imperial court wants to rectify the rule of officials, at this time, a letter of empirical evidence about the corruption of officials in Jiezhou is spread all over the world, what do you think?"

"The world is shaking, Zhao Chen and Huo Wujia are difficult to ride a tiger, either rectify or suppress this matter. ”

Mu Cai said again: "If there are such notices everywhere, and the Mu family is making every effort to promote the spread of news, do you think this matter can be suppressed?"

"Can't!"

"It's just that they can't hold it down if they want to. ”

Mu Fan continued: "In this way, there are only two choices in front of Zhao Chen and Huo Wujia. ”

Mu Cai smiled and asked, "Which two?"

"Deal with the officials of Jiezhou, and even some high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Or don't deal with it, only a small portion. ”

Mu Cai continued to ask, "What will happen if you don't deal with it?"

Mu Fan did not answer immediately.

Zhao Chen and Huo Wujia were determined to reform, rectify the rule of officials, and eliminate the accumulated evils. If the corruption in Jiezhou is completely exposed, but they do not deal with it impartially for the sake of stability, the problem will come, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it will be announced that the world's reform has compromised with corruption.

Although Zhao Chen and Huo Wujia did not compromise, just to stabilize the situation, ordinary people didn't think so.

High-ranking officials act as prestige on weekdays, spend all day drinking, ride on the heads of ordinary people, and pee, and loot huge amounts of people's fat and ointment.

Ordinary people have to pay taxes, and when the army fights, they not only have to pay grain and grass to sell their sons and daughters, but also temporarily enlist in the army and transport grain and grass.

They can't see the game at the top, they can only see that the people who corrupt tens of millions of taels of spars are still done by high-ranking officials, and the big horses are ridden.

The people's hearts are turned back, and it is difficult to turn back if they are back.

Except for ordinary people, other officials will be left to chance.

It turns out that I am so greedy, and if I form a group, you Huo Laogou will not be able to move me.

Concession is tantamount to shaking the foundation of reform, is Zhao Chen willing to do it? Is Huo Wujia willing to do it?

After thinking about a bunch of things, Mu Fan spoke: "Are they willing to do it?"

Mu Cai smiled: "Reluctant! Pay too much, how can you be reluctant?"

Mu Fan said: "I don't think this kind of movement is enough, we have to add another fire, put the sword on their necks, and let them die of headaches!"

"What's your idea?"

Mu Fan said in a deep voice: "Those who live in the mud account for ninety percent of the people in the world, and they don't know that they can also have ideals and fight for what they want. Just let them know that they are also qualified to pursue these, and then give them a sword, and they will make a choice. ”

Mu Cai pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "If they really have this kind of realization, have you ever thought that those people can drown the Zhao Clan's royal family, and they can also drown us." ”

"Grandpa is scared?"

Mu Cai smiled: "They have nothing to fear, they gave them swords, and they are still in the mud." Since ancient times, the general trend of the world has nothing to do with them, you give them swords, spend money in vain, even if it is a more powerful weapon. It's just a cloud of loose sand, and when the wind blows, it disperses. ”

Mu Fan smiled: "Then how about we make a bet?"

"You will lose!" Mu Cai was very confident, "I know that you and Ye Feng are tidying up some things, those things can be used by us, and they will be handed over to ordinary people, they will die, and the weapons will be captured, which is equivalent to giving them to the enemy for nothing." ”

Mu Fan was also very confident, "Then let's take a gamble." ”

Mu Cai smiled: "What are you betting on?"

"Gambling on the Mu family's stronghold!"

Mu Cai was puzzled: "What kind of gambling method is the gambling base?"

Mu Fan said: "If I win, the Mu family will hand over the stronghold in the northwest to me, and the Mu family will never be involved again." ”

"Your ambition is not small!" Mu Cai is not afraid that his grandson has no ambition, but he is afraid that he has no ambition.

Mu Fan continued: "I just talked about the bet, now let's talk about how to win or lose. ”

Mu Cai smiled: "You say." ”

Mu Fan thought about it and said, "Didn't you say that you want to stir up the world? Let's see who is more fierce." ”

"Go on. ”

Grandpa said first. ”

Mu Cai smiled and shook his head, "I have Jiezhou, Haizhou, and Xiangzhou in my hands...... The evidence of corruption in the eight states, first use the matter of Jiezhou to force Huo Wujia to do it, once they do it, I will immediately throw out the evidence of corruption in the other seven states, I want to see how they end!"

After Mu Fan listened, he applauded again and again and sighed: "Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"What about you?"

Mu Fan said: "I need to use the power of the Mu family to distribute weapons to ordinary people." In addition, I will send people from Baili Mountain over, and the people of the Mu family must cooperate with Baili Mountain. ”

It is said that "it must cooperate", but in fact it is "obey".

How could Mu Cai not hear it, he smiled and said, "Okay, you have to cooperate, but only this time." ”

Mu Fan said: "This time is enough, grandpa, don't be scared when the time comes." ”

"I've seen a lot of things in my life, and few can scare me. ”

Mu Fan didn't say anything more, and when it came to now, he had achieved his goal.

Mu Cai was interested, and asked with a smile: "The Baili Mountain you founded...... It doesn't seem to be for the purpose of making money. ”

"Making money is just going with the flow. ”

That's a light way to say. ”

Mu Fan said: "Because it is a fact, it is easy to say." ”

"Do you think Baili Mountain is important, or is the Mu family important?"

"Why did Grandpa say that?"

Mu Cai said: "I asked casually. ”

"It's all important. Mu Fan had thought about this question for a long time.

Mu Cai asked again, "Which one is more important?"

"Of course, it's the Mu family. Mu Fan's face was full of surprise, "How long has Baili Mountain been established, and how much power it has." ”

Mu Cai smiled, he realized that there was a difference between his and his grandson's concepts, and it was not a small difference. But that's nothing, time will tell the grandchild wrong. That grandson will eventually return to the Mu family obediently and become the new head of the Mu family.

"Grandpa, it's a little cold in the pavilion, why don't you go elsewhere. ”

"Good. ”

Mu Fan pushed the wheelchair around, and as soon as he arrived on the shore, he heard Mu Cai say: "You go back first, I'm tired, I'll go shopping with me tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. ”

Mu Fan turned around and returned to the corridor.

Mu Cai said: "I have already arranged your residence, Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, come here." ”

A figure flashed, it was Uncle Zhang who was driving the car.

Uncle Zhang saluted respectfully and said to Mu Cai, "What do you command?"

"Take him to rest, after a tiring journey, a good meal, a bath, and a good night's sleep. ”

"Yes. Uncle Zhang got up and said to Mu Fan: "Please come with me." ”

Mu Cai and the others walked away, beckoned to the air, and a black shadow fell.

"What's the news?"

The black shadow said: "It can basically be confirmed that Xiao Wan was arrested." ”

Mu Cai leaned back, leaned on his wheelchair, and sighed, "It's difficult!"

He turned his face sideways and asked, "Who caught you?"

"It is possible that both the imperial court and the Xuanmen are possible, but it is still uncertain. ”

Mu Cai closed his eyes, "Is there any other news?"

"It's gone. ”

"Stand down. ”
