Shang Jingchuan did not sit, but very solemnly saluted Yan Sifu.

"Lord Fumu, may I ask what is the matter with you calling for a humble position?"

Hearing this title, the expression on Yan Sifu's face suddenly became very subtle.

He is indeed the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Shang Jingchuan's top boss.

No one has ever called him that, they all call him King Qi Chitose.

Now that Shang Jingchuan is called this, he is obviously deliberately reminding himself and drawing a line with himself.

However, the strangeness on Yan Sifu's face only disappeared in a flash, and he smiled and said: "There is no Jingzhao Mansion Pastor here today, let alone King Qi, let's just talk casually, don't be so restrained." ”

Yan Sifu said so, and in desperation, Shang Jingchuan had no choice but to sit down.

To be honest, after receiving Yan Sifu's invitation, Shang Jingchuan's heart was full of resistance.

But Yan Sifu was his top boss, he sent out an invitation, and Shang Jingchuan could only comply.

At this moment, Shang Jingchuan only wanted to end this awkward meeting as soon as possible.

At this time, someone brought refreshments, and Yan Sifu chatted with Shang Jingchuan while drinking tea.

Shang Jingchuan coped patiently.

But after drinking a pot of tea, Shang Jingchuan saw that Yan Sifu still didn't mean to get down to business, and finally couldn't help it.

"Lord Fumu, may I ask what is the matter with you calling for a humble position? If there is nothing to do, please let me retire, because there are still many things to deal with in the Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Hahahaha Jingchuan is really an urgent person, in fact, it's nothing to invite you to come, I just want to ask you if you are still used to it after taking office, you can ask me if you need anything, I also have the position of Jingzhao Mansion pastor, this problem can still help you solve." Yan Sifu smiled.

Shang Jingchuan shook his head, "Thank you Lord Fu Mu for your concern, but I don't have anything I am not used to, and I don't have any needs." ”

"How can there be no demand, I heard that two days ago, you took someone to Changping Fang, and you must have lost a lot of subordinates, so I will allocate a sum of silver to you alone, which is considered a reward, how about it?"

Hearing this, Shang Jingchuan had only one reaction.

That's that there are ghosts in it.

First of all, it was a little abnormal for him to take the initiative to mention the matter of Changping Fang, and secondly, he should know that this time Jingzhao Mansion's thorough investigation of Changping Fang was done by Zhao Ya, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion didn't even lose a single hair, so why not lose it?

So there is obviously something else to be said in this remark.

Shang Jingchuan took a deep breath, "Lord Fu Mu, there is no need for a reward, my subordinates themselves have not suffered much loss. ”

"Hey, just because there is no loss now does not mean that there will be no loss in the future, are you prepared, and this money is not a small amount!"

Saying that, Yan Sifu glanced at his subordinates, and immediately someone walked in with a tray with a thick stack of golden tickets on it.

"This is a 50,000 taels of gold tickets, which can be exchanged at any time, without any secret marks, and can even be used by neighboring countries, which is extremely safe." Yan Sifu smiled.

Shang Jingchuan finally understood.

This so-called reward is simply a bribe for oneself.

He glanced at Yan Sifu deeply, "Is this what you mean, Lord Fu Mu, or is it ......." ”

"Sure enough, it's a smart person, of course there is a little bit of meaning in this, but the big heads are sent by major families, as long as you are willing to nod, there will be a generous dividend for you every year in the future."

As he said, this money was indeed from the major wealthy families, in order to naturally block Shang Jingchuan's mouth and draw him into the same camp.

And Yan Sifu, as the nominal supreme governor of Jingzhao Mansion and Shang Jingchuan's top boss, is naturally suitable to do this.

And Yan Sifu didn't think there was anything difficult about this matter, so he agreed.

At this moment, Yan Sifu stared at Shang Jingchuan, waiting for his statement.

In his opinion, Shang Jingchuan would definitely agree if he was not a fool.

After all, on the one hand, there are countless glory and wealth, and on the other hand, there is an enemy of the Manchu magnates.

Which is more important, you can see at a glance.

But just when he was confidently waiting for Shang Jingchuan to nod.

An unexpected scene happened.

I saw Shang Jingchuan glance at the golden ticket on the tray, and then slowly stood up.

"Lord Fumu, although I don't have much ability in Shang Jingchuan, I have read the books of sages since I was a child, and this bit of courtesy, righteousness and shame is still there, so please forgive me for not being able to accept this money."

Yan Sifu was stunned, and then he said again.

"If you think it's small, this money is actually negotiable......."

"It's not a matter of more or less, it's a matter of principle." Shang Jingchuan had a clear attitude and categorically refused.

At this time, Yan Sifu couldn't hang up at all, looked at Shang Jingchuan with a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Principle? ”

"That's right."

Shang Jingchuan took a deep breath and said.

"Lord Fumu, I know what these people who sent the money think, please tell them, I will never accept the money, if they have done something bad before, it is best to stop it, then there is still a chance to turn back, otherwise, my Jingzhao Mansion will never look at anyone's feelings."

"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm leaving."

After speaking, Shang Jingchuan turned around and left.

At this moment, Yan Sifu's gloomy voice came from behind him.

"Shang Jingchuan, do you really think that with that person surnamed Zhao as a supporter, you can have no scruples?"

Shang Jingchuan stopped and looked back at Yan Sifu, "Lord Fu Mu is wrong, my reliance is not Zhao Ya. ”

"Oh? Who's that? ”

"It's the law of the Great Yan King, fair and human." Shang Jingchuan said in a deep voice.

Yan Sifu was stunned by what he said, and when he came back to his senses, Shang Jingchuan was already gone.

Then he jumped out of his chair like a cat whose tail had been trampled on.

"Shang Jingchuan, you wait, sooner or later I will make you regret what you said today."

In his opinion, the so-called Da Yan Wang Law, fair and popular, is completely a fart, and it is purely a rhetoric made by Shang Jingchuan in order to prevaricate himself.

Who hasn't lived for money and power these days, who the cares about these vain things.

Especially in Yan Sifu's view, this Shang Jingchuan is just an old dog with no use value.

Now he dares to talk to himself like this, this is not what it is to slap himself in the face nakedly.

Yan Sifu was so angry that she dropped more than a dozen tea sets in a row, and her mood calmed down a little.

"Zhao Ya, everything is because of you, you wait, I will definitely find a way to kill you."

Yan Sifu thought that Shang Jingchuan dared to be so arrogant, mainly because Zhao Ya was behind his back.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Ya is killed, all the problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, he immediately called his son Yan Peng, and the first thing he said straight to the point was.

"Hire a few killers to come over with a lot of money on the rivers and lakes."

"What are you going to do?" Yan Peng didn't know why.

"I'm going to kill this Zhao Ya." Yan Sifu gritted his teeth.

Yan Peng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and not to mention whether this matter was reliable or not, even if Yan Sifu wanted to spend money to hire a killer, no one dared to take the order.

After all, it was a real Five Realms, and it also had a record of defying the sky.

What killer can't think so much and would go to such a character to die?

Therefore, he sighed and said: "Father, you better save your worries, no one dares to accept this assassination list." ”

"Why? Is there a problem in this world that money can't solve? Yan Sifu was puzzled.

Yan Peng knew that his father had lived in the temple for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on in the rivers and lakes.

In his opinion, although a martial artist is powerful, he must have his limits, so as long as the money is enough, there is nothing that cannot be done.

But he didn't know what a genius like Zhao Ya meant.

"Father, this Zhao Ya is extremely strong, even Senior Sister Yan frankly admits that she is not his opponent, do you think such a character, which killer in the rivers and lakes can kill him?"

"What? Yan Xizhao is not his opponent either? Yan Sifu finally had a more intuitive feeling of Zhao Ya's strength.

"That's right, she said it herself."

"That'...... The sect master or elder of the three sects, two courtyards and one mountain villa can always do it, and no one in the huge Yandu City will be able to restrain him. Yan Sifu hesitated for a moment and said.

"The major sect masters should be able to, but do you think such a character will make an easy move? As for the other elders...... I really don't dare to say it. Yan Peng said.

He may have been a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ya's strength before.

But after these few days of understanding, Yan Peng finally understood that for such a genius, it is impossible to speculate with common sense.

Yan Sifu finally wilted.

Seeing this, Yan Peng couldn't help but persuade: "Father, I know that you can't get used to Zhao Ya and this Shang Jingchuan, but I advise you not to meddle in this matter, after all, didn't you say it before, he has done a good job as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and you also have a share of credit." ”

Yan Sifu finally changed his mentality and sighed.

"Okay, then listen to you, but if I don't make a move, those wealthy families won't let him go."

"That's not what you should be doing, right?"

"Well, this is true, I'll see how long this Zhao Ya can be arrogant."

Yan Sifu is not a fool.

In fact, there are a few fools who can mix in the court.

Seeing that the previous co-optation failed, Yan Sifu immediately changed his strategy, returned these golden tickets to the major families in the original way, and sent what Shang Jingchuan said to the past.

As for how these families will react and how they plan to deal with Shang Jingchuan, that's their business.

Sure enough, when the news spread, Shang Jingchuan's words immediately caused a stir in Dayan's court and among the wealthy families.

"The law of the king of Dayan, fair and popular? How long has it been since I've heard that? I'm afraid this Shang Jingchuan didn't take us all for fools. Someone sneered.

"Damn, I guess this guy is nothing, it's just too little." Someone frowned.

But there is also a small group of people who are lost in thought.

Yun Jia.

The old master Yun Ji was half-lying on the chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

As the mainstay of the court back then, the last prime minister of the Yun family, he is now dying.

Since he returned home, he has added a new problem, that is, he likes to sleep.

He spends more than half of his day sleeping.

Now, for example, not long after breakfast, he was leaning back in his chair and falling asleep.

Yun Yizhi, who entered the house to ask for peace, saw this and was about to tiptoe out.

At this moment, I saw Yun Jixiu closing his eyes and said, "Stop." ”

Yun Yizhi immediately stopped and shouted respectfully, "Father, you're not asleep." ”

"Of course I wasn't asleep."

Speaking of this, Yun Jixiu opened his eyes, and a trace of light flashed in the eyes of the old dragon bell.

"Have you heard about anything out there?" Yun Jixiu said lightly.

"I heard."

"What do you think?"

"Breathtaking." Yun Yizhi replied honestly.

This is also what he really thinks in his heart.

"I heard...... Yuan'er knew this Zhao Ya. ”

"Well, that's true."

Yun Yizhi was not surprised that his father even knew such a trivial matter.

Don't look at Yun Jixiu's old age, but in fact, his mind is very clear, and the big and small things that happen in the family basically can't escape his eyes, it's just a matter of whether he is willing to take care of it.

"Let Yuan'er have a good relationship with Zhao Ya, and ...... If I have the chance, I would like to meet this Shang Jingchuan. ”

"I'll do my best to arrange it."

"Don't be in a hurry, let alone force, if you can't, forget it, understand?"

"Yes!"

Yun Yizhi retreated, didn't dare to stay, directly found Yun Yuan, and told him the old man's words.

Yun Yuan smiled bitterly, "How can I not know that I have a good relationship with Zhao Ya, but the key is that since the funeral was over, I have not seen him since I was in charge of the third room." ”

"Then you have to try your best to find a way to get close, because this person is very crucial, and even related to your future status, understand?" Yun Yizhi instructed.

"I'll try!"

Yun Yizhi is gone.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Yun Jin jumped out on his back foot, and said with a smile: "Brother, since my father said so, why don't we go over and find Zhao Yabei." ”

"After all, he helped you so much in the first place, you have to thank you in person."

It may be that this last sentence moved Yunyuan.

He nodded, "Okay, then I'll pay a visit." ”

Naturally, you can't go empty-handed when you visit the door, but fortunately, Yunyuan has not stopped searching for jerky during this time.

Heijiao jerky has accumulated a large box full of it.

happened to go to see Zhao Ya in the name of sending jerky.

Yun Yuan took the jerky and led Yun Jin to Guangdefang Xiaojing Hutong.

But after knocking on the door, he found that Zhao Ya was not at home.

After explaining his intentions, Zui'er said with a smile: "Oh, you are looking for my little Ya brother, he has been busy in Jingzhao Mansion for this time, and he hasn't come back for two or three days, if you want to find him, go to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Yun Yuan was a little helpless when he heard it.

Now the people who are blocking the door of Jingzhao Mansion and want to ask to see them must have eighty if there are not a hundred, and I don't know when I can see Zhao Ya if I want to go.

He had no choice but to leave the jerky behind and leave.

At the same time, Zhao Yazheng led the people of Jingzhao Mansion to shuttle through Yandu City, specifically arresting those who were full of evil.

Most of the people obediently tied their hands, and only a small number of people thought that they were good and planned to resist, but they were all sent by Zhao Ya to meet the king of Hades.

Under such powerful means, even those wealthy families who are usually arrogant and domineering and take pleasure in oppressing the people have reined in a lot at this time, and they no longer dare to swagger.

For a time, the security of the entire Yandu City was renewed.
