Yan Shifan's motorcade entered the capital, and the Yan Party officials in the capital celebrated with their crowns and spontaneously went to the city gate to greet Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan was very low-key, just said hello to everyone, and went straight to Yan's mansion.

After entering the gate of Yan's mansion, Yan Shifan pushed the cart, from the front yard, to the middle yard, to the back yard, one by one, with a sigh of emotion.

Then he went to Yan Song's half of the mansion and waited for Yan Song to go home from duty. As soon as Yan Song entered the house, he saw his son and immediately burst into tears.

"East Building, you...... You're back! You look different from before, much calmer. ”

Yan Shifan nodded: "Father, I'm back." And, this time I'm not going to go again. Together, we father and son will make a comeback! ”

Yan Song wiped his tears with relief, and suddenly thought of something, and tears welled up again.

"It's a pity that your mother and your mother are gone, otherwise they would be so happy to see you like this.

And Wenhua, if he was still here, he would be able to have a good and lively tonight. Alas, how did this child die? ”

Yan Shifan also comforted his father with a sad face, as if he was really saddened by Zhao Wenhua's death.

"Brother Wenhua is really a pity, I have always regarded him as my dear relatives and friends, siblings......"

Then he felt that the air seemed to cool down a little, his spine was a little cold, and there was an inexplicable voice in his ears.

"Lao Tzu is a cow and horse for you, you fucking play me ......"

Yan Shifan frowned, plucked out his ears, and was sure that he was having auditory hallucinations. What kind of bullshit poetry is this, who would make such a bad poem.

"Donglou, you entered Beijing today, some news may not have been heard yet, Luo Wenlong sued Xu Hai.

said that he colluded with the Japanese and intended to seize the two prefectures of Ningbo and Hangzhou. Hu Zongxian has already put Xu Hai in prison and is interrogating. ”

Yan Shifan was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a long time: "Why did Luo Wenlong do this at this time, it didn't do him any good?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he smiled: "This is not Luo Wenlong's handiwork, I think it is because Hu Zongxian only wants Xu Hai's fleet, but he doesn't want to command it across Xu Hai."

So he simply borrowed Luo Wenlong's mouth and took the opportunity to get rid of Xu Hai. In this way, he not only had the skill of recruiting and surrendering, but also had one more skill of suppressing bandits, and he also directly controlled Xu Hai's fleet.

With this fleet as the family background, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, has the capital to confront Xiao Feng and Yan Dang, hum, it's really extraordinary! ”

Yan Song also came back to his senses: "Hu Zongxian, this kid, the old man admired it a lot at the beginning, but later he got close to Xiao Feng, and the old man no longer paid attention to him.

Donglou, let him continue to develop according to this momentum, will it really be a three-legged stand and pose a threat to us? ”

Yan Shifan waved his hand: "Father, don't worry." At this time, the number one enemy is Xiao Feng, and with Hu Zongxian stirring up the situation, it will be easier for us to deal with Xiao Feng.

As for after Xiao Feng's downfall, Hu Zongxian is nothing. He is not a junior brother of Long Live Youth, and he does not have a death-free gold medal on him, so I want to kill him, it's as easy as a snap! ”

Yu Dayou came to Beijing, took Hu Zongxian's secret recital, and reported it directly to Jiajing without going through the cabinet. This is the prerogative of the governors and the governors of the districts.

There are such privileges that go directly to heaven without going through the cabinet, one is the governor of various places, the second is the imperial history, and the third is the imperial overseer, but there are very few people who can really use this privilege.

Because the imperial court gives this privilege, it is a sign of grace, which means that the emperor treats you as his own, so when you have a special topic, you can not be in the court group @朕, but directly chat privately.

But this kind of private chat can't avoid the ears and eyes of others. Although others don't know the content of your private chat with the emperor, they know that the two of you don't sleep in the middle of the night and secretly type behind others' backs.

In this case, no matter what you are talking about privately, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people in the imperial court, especially the group leader, the head of the cabinet, who will be even more dissatisfied.

So this kind of close-knit and straightforward performance is actually a very offensive behavior of the cabinet, and it is not really a big deal, and it is generally not used.

Just like Shang Fang's sword, it is used to scare people most of the time, and there are very few times when it actually cuts people.

But this time Hu Zongxian used it, and after Jiajing watched the recital, he smashed the dust, and the next day before dawn, Jinyiwei went door to door to call people to the court.

This time it was not a small court meeting, but a big court meeting, and Jiajing returned to the palace! This is enough to show how serious this time is.

The people in the cabinet all knew that Hu Zongxian and Banzai had a private chat, but no one knew what they had chatted privately, so the hundred officials went to the court to ask the cabinet, and the cabinet said that Lao Tzu didn't know much!

Among them, the most doubtful was Yan Song, who was ordered to take Yan Shifan to the court. Yan Song was originally very happy, thinking that the hanging reward was about to land.

But Yan Shifan felt that something was wrong, and after Jin Yiwei finished telling him to leave, he looked at his father quietly and spoke for a long time.

"Father, something is wrong."

Yan Song was stunned: "What's wrong?" Long live said before that I would wait for Xu Hai's surrender to end and reward you.

Now that Hu Zongxian's secret performance has arrived, long live letting you go to the court, it should be rewarded in public. We don't expect too much, we can give you an outsider, just start from scratch. ”

Yan Shifan shook his head: "If you reward me, with the state of mind at this time, I will never hold a court meeting." Although I have made meritorious contributions, Xiao Feng has not made a mistake.

Therefore, at this time, Banzai should be a low-key reward to avoid making Xiao Feng dissatisfied and fiercely opposed. Never with such fanfare! ”

Yan Song was stunned: "That...... What could it be? How can we respond? ”

Yan Shifan smiled bitterly: "We are in the capital, and we can only resign ourselves to fate. Father just went to change his official uniform and prepare to go to court, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it!

We have survived so many strong winds and waves, I don't believe that Xiao Feng can have any more powerful means at this time! ”

Yan Shifan pushed the cart and hurriedly returned to his yard, beckoned, and gradually called him to his side.

"You go to the wall and take a sneak look, is there any hidden stake of Jinyi Wei hidden around the mansion, is there more than before?"

After a while, he gradually came back, his face was slightly pale, and he nodded at Yan Shifan.

"At least ten dark piles, and at the most, it was only three or five before."

Yan Shifan's face was heavy, and he smiled bitterly for a long time: "Although I don't know what it is, everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted." Gradually, you immediately find a way to sneak out of the city.

I'm sure I won't be able to leave, you are strong in kung fu, and you have the blood girl charm in your body. What's more, the matter is undecided, and they won't care too much about the movements of a maid.

After you leave the city, wait outside the city for news, and if everything is okay, you come back. In case something is wrong, you take this letter and go back to Miao Jiang and hand it over to Xiao Qin! ”

Gradually silent for a moment, he smiled charmingly, grabbed Yan Shifan's collar, pressed his red lips on Yan Shifan's lips, kissed fiercely, and turned to leave.

Yan Shifan licked his lips with a retrospective taste, smiled coldly, straightened his clothes, pushed the cart, came to the door, and asked people to open the door.

The eyes of the Jinyi Wei Hidden Pile were focused on Yan Shifan's body, and gradually like a leaf in the shadows, quietly falling from the back wall, walking a few steps briskly, and blending into the crowd.

In Xiao's mansion, Xiao Feng got dressed and straightened up, dressed in green clothes and white robes, reflecting a young face and a pair of deep vicissitudes of life.

Liu Xue'er looked at him intently while helping him pull the placket: "Brother Feng, I feel that you are different today from usual, do you have something important to do?" ”

Xiao Feng patted Liu Xue'er on the shoulder, felt the elasticity of the flesh, and smiled indifferently: "Yes, today, I have a big deal to finish." ”

An invisible heavy atmosphere almost enveloped the entire capital, and everyone in the Xiao Mansion naturally felt it. Just like when a heavy rain is coming, all insects and arthritis sufferers can feel it.

The women in the backyard came out, Qiao Niang pulled Qiao Qiao, Liu Ruyun pulled the female apprentice, and Zhang Yunqing pulled Wang Cai.

Liu Xueer in the middle courtyard pulled Xiaomei, and Lan Niang pulled Lan Xiaozi. Since Lan Niang's father died, Xiao Feng didn't let her live in the front yard, let her move to the middle yard, and take care of Liu Xue'er with Xiaomei.

Lan Xiaozi is the same age as Liu Peng, and Liu Xueer looks at him like his younger brother, so as long as he follows the master back to Beijing, he will let him live in the middle courtyard with Lan Niang.

The people in the front yard, led by Qi An and Chen Zhonghou, were more than a dozen servants, and no one pulled anyone.

Liu Tong, who was on the other side of the street, was also going to the court, and he had already gotten into the sedan chair, but he hadn't started it yet, obviously watching the movement of the gate of Xiaofu. Seeing Xiao Feng come out, the sedan chair began to start.

Mrs. Liu took Liu Peng and the housekeeper of Liu's mansion to stand at the door, seemingly to send Liu Tong, but in fact, their eyes were looking at Xiao Feng.

The people and vendors on the main street are also surprisingly quiet today. They don't know what will happen today, but they feel that the sky in the entire capital is pressed on their heads, making people breathless.

These people watched Xiao Feng walk out of Xiao Mansion and watched his back go farther and farther. The white robe fluttered in the wind, revealing the cyan clothes inside, giving people a strange feeling.

The figure did not seem to be getting smaller and smaller, but getting bigger and bigger, as big as the towers and palaces on the side of the road, as big as the red walls and blue tiles of the palace, and so big that it put the dark sky on people's heads and resisted it on their shoulders.

Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials, a palace full of brocade clothes, and the emperor is in the court. The last time Jiajing had this kind of scene had to be traced back to the last time.

Among the solemn ministers, Yan Shifan sat in a small car and stopped beside Yan Song, dressed in gray cloth, simple and unpretentious, and looked extremely calm.

Jiajing's eyes were slightly closed, his face was pale, and his eyes were blue, obviously he hadn't slept all night. He nodded tiredly, and Huang Jin beside him took a step forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night Jiangnan Governor Hu Zongxian secretly folded and played, listing Luo Wenlong's five major sins, and Yan Shifan's eight major sins.

Article 1: Collusion with the Japanese and the killing of the people;

Article 2: collusion with the White Lotus to rob the princess;

Article 3: Ambush by the sea, assassinate Chincha;

Article 4: Hide from the world and cross the sea, assassinate the prince;

Article 5: Hide the wealth of Japan and create a nest of bandits.

In these five articles, Yan Shifan is all the main envoys, and Luo Wenlong is the minions. Yan Shifan had three other major crimes.

raising the dead and indulging the condemned prisoners; In order to make huge profits, they sold arms privately; Collusion with the White Lotus, long live the assassination! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were as silent as a cicada, and if it was so explosive, there was not even a single exclamation mark below.

Any one of the above is a crime of killing the head when taken out alone, at least five of which are the crimes of raiding the house and destroying the door, and at least two of them are the crimes of the nine clans.

In the past, if a prisoner could commit two of them, it would be considered very good. If what is said in the fold is true, Yan Shifan can be said to have set a record in the criminal world.

Yan Song sat on the ground with his buttocks, he quickly got up, fell to his knees, his whole body trembled, his old tears were rampant, and his voice was hoarse.

"Long live, long live, Hu Zongxian must have been instructed by someone to frame my son! The crime also involves the prince, and his heart can be punished, please long live it, please long live it! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Feng, if Hu Zongxian was instructed by someone, then needless to say, it must be Xiao Feng, and there was no need to consider others.

This is also Yan Song's old spiciness, even if the five thunders hit the top, he didn't mess up his mind, and he didn't rush to justify his son's sins at all, but first made a fuss from the big frame.

As long as this matter is pulled to the party struggle, then Jiajing's heart will have doubts, it is best to pull it to the prince's party struggle, then everything is possible!

Jiajing didn't open his eyes, but said lightly: "Yan Shifan, what justification do you have, just say that I will give you a chance." ”

Old friend, this is my last care for you, your son has persuaded me countless times that he has the ability, so just say it this time.

Yan Shifan had two more legs under his body, so he could kneel, he knelt on the ground, the wood hit the ground, and there was a sonorous sound, and the wooden ankles exposed at the ankles also made people feel a lot of emotion.

This is already a wasted person, do you really need to kill him? At this moment, even some neutral people felt this way, and Jiajing's eyelids jumped.

Yan Shifan's face was calm, just like those who were talking about the sin of Ling Chi's extermination, he looked at Xiao Feng very calmly.

"Long live, over the years, the accusation against the grass people has never been broken, but in the end it is all empty and unfounded, the grass people may ask, is there any real evidence for the charges this time?"

Jiajing naturally would not answer Yan Shifan's words, and he was not a judge of the case, he nodded, and Huang Jin handed over all the documents in his hand to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing gritted his teeth and whispered to Jiajing: "Long live, the minister suddenly had severe pain in his abdomen, and the minister deserves death, the minister ...... Please leave the palace for the time being......"

Lu Bing didn't know that his excuse was very suspicious, but he really couldn't find a better excuse. People have three urgencies, even the emperor can't help but make people have stomach trouble.

He really didn't want to take over the pot of the presiding judge Yan Shifan on this occasion, fools know that this time is different from the past, this is the decisive moment between Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan!

At this time, when Yan Shifan was really desperate at the end, what if he lost his mind and felt that the presiding judge Lu Bing was aggressive and suspected of blowing a black whistle, what if he broke out all his disgraceful things in a fit of anger?

Even if long live the faith, those things are not enough to lose one's official position and lose one's life, but what kind of occasion is this? How will I face hundreds of officials and long live in the future?

Jiajing didn't know if he had seen through Lu Bing's thoughts, so he frowned slightly and nodded.

"Then leave it to Xiao Feng, he is also used to trying cases. At this time, everyone is watching, and I am also present, no matter who intersects, it is the same, and I can't get a ghost. ”

Lu Bingru was amnesty, went down from the side with two legs, went to the toilet and pretended to turn around before coming back, still standing behind Jiajing.

When Lu Bing ran out, Xiao Feng took the document in Huang Jin's hand, stood on Yan Shifan's side, and said indifferently.

"Yan Shifan, which sin do you have questions about? Just ask. ”

Yan Shifan didn't raise his head, and asked calmly: "What is the evidence for saying that I colluded with the Japanese and killed the people?" ”

Xiao Feng took out a confession and handed it to him: "Here is the confession of Xu Haikou, as well as the confession of the leader of the Japanese invaders arrested by Hu Zongxian.

It proves that you have instructed Luo Wenlong many times, called on the Xu Hai fleet, colluded with coastal pirates, and robbed coastal villages and towns, as well as coastal counties. ”

Yan Shifan continued to ask: "What is the evidence for saying that I colluded with the White Lotus and robbed the princess?" ”

Xiao Feng took out another confession to him: "Here is the confession of Xuhaikou, the confession of the leader of the Japanese Bandits, and the testimony of the commander of the Nanjing battalion and the general manager of the Taicang Guard.

On that day, Luo Wenlong and Xiao Qin led their troops to attack together, and everyone saw it, and the witnesses had already seen Luo Wenlong with their own eyes, and they would never be wrong. ”

Yan Shifan didn't argue, but continued to ask: "The seaside ambush and the assassination of Qin Cha, there must have been a confession from everyone?" ”

Xiao Feng took out a confession: "The seaside ambush was when Wang Zhi and I met with Wanghailou. There are not only testimonies of soldiers, but also testimonies of people around Wanghai Tower. ”

Yan Shifan said indifferently: "Even if these things are all done by Luo Wenlong, what does it have to do with me." Do you have any evidence that I instructed him to do these things? Like letters or something? ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "There is no evidence of these charges in the letter you wrote to Luo Wenlong, but Luo Wenlong did these things with ironclad evidence."

Didn't you think you had a close connection with Luo Wenlong and kept guiding him to do things? Isn't it possible that all the good things he does are instructed by you, and the bad things have nothing to do with you, right? ”

Yan Shifan smiled slightly: "It turns out that you tried your best to put the credit for surrendering on Luo Wenlong, just to lure me to come up with evidence of a close connection with Luo Wenlong."

You also know that if I don't take the initiative to come up with the credentials that arranged Luo Wenlong to be a detailed work back then, you won't be able to prove that I have a relationship with Luo Wenlong.

You also know that if I don't take the initiative to admit that I have a close connection with Luo Wenlong, you can't prove that Luo Wenlong has been in contact with me all these years.

Good intentions, good means. Xiao Feng, you really are the smartest person I've ever met. Unfortunately, you forgot one thing. ”

Xiao Feng looked at him coldly: "Really? What did I forget? ”

Yan Shifan looked at Xiao Feng lightly: "You said that I have been guiding Luo Wenlong to do things, so the good and bad things that Luo Wenlong did should be done by me."

Then may I ask the civil and military officials of the imperial court, including you and me, who did not listen to Banzai's teachings and instructions to do things?

According to your meaning, are the good and bad things we do to be done by Banzai? Long live those corrupt officials and corrupt officials?

Your remarks are simply a great rebellion! ”
