The mastermind behind the tax and silver case is Zhou Shilang.... Xu Pingzhi "snapped" and slapped the coffee table, stood up angrily, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scold his mother, but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat.

Xu Xinnian glanced at his incompetent and angry father, his handsome face was extremely serious, "The news is reliable?"

Xu Qi'an nodded: "One of the chief officials in charge of the tax and silver case, Chu Caiwei of Si Tianjian told me. ”

He relayed Chu Caiwei's words.

Xu Xinnian raised the teacup, put it down again, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, what happened today is not accidental, but Zhou's immediate revenge. ”

Yes, he is worthy of being a reader who can pass the exam, and his brain is very useful.

Xu Qi'an was a little pleased, knowing that this conversation would not be in vain.

If it was just Second Uncle Xu, he wouldn't have brought up this secret talk, it would be meaningless.

Because the second uncle was forced to be in a hurry, he would only say: It's a brother, just follow me to cut people.

There's no way, after all, it's a vulgar martial artist, he's good at cutting people, and he's blind when he calculates, and his professional fields are different.

Xu Qi'an took the school entrance examination and said: "What does Erlang think?" ”

Xu Xinnian glanced at his cousin, frowned, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his tone of being admitted to the school, and said angrily:

"What should I do? Of course, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers. ”

Yes.... Xu Qi'an was taken aback, it was hard to imagine that Xu Xinnian would say such decisive words.

Hearing this, Second Uncle Xu, who thought that he was the head of the family and the backbone of the family, felt that he couldn't be silent anymore, and reprimanded his son:

"Put away your ignorant and arrogant thoughts, don't say that you are just a person, even if you win the champion, you can't afford to provoke the household servant. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly rejected by his nephew: "I think Erlang's idea is right." ”

Xu Qi'an continued: "It was not Zhou Li who we offended, but Zhou Xianping, the household servant. Zhou Li may not dare to retaliate again, but what about the Tobe squire?"

"We not only ruined his good deeds, but also injured his sister-in-law, this account, as long as he is a person with fireworks, there is absolutely no reason to endure it. Besides, in the eyes of Zhou Shilang, Xu Fu is no different from ants? He has no reason to let us go. ”

Xu Pingzhi was unconvinced: "It's not proper, we can't fight Zhou Shilang." Ning Yan, you got acquainted with Si Tianjian's white clothes, and he was a student of Yunlu Academy in the new year, relying on these two layers of relationship, as long as we kept to ourselves, no one would dare to provoke us. ”

Is that really the case?

Xu Qi'an reminded: "Second uncle, you may not know that Si Tianjian's white clothes do not interfere in the affairs of the court. ”

Xu Cijiu continued: "When the tax and silver case was taken, I was not also a student of Yunlu Academy? The eldest brother can come back today because Zhou Li is unreasonable and his methods are too low-level, but if Zhou Shilang makes a move, and the tax and silver case is done again, it is reasonable and legal to let the Xu family be beheaded, is it possible that Si Tianjian and Yunlu Academy can still rob the prison for us?

Xu Pingzhi, who felt that the majesty of the head of the family had been impacted, frowned, "But, what are we going to do, deal with the household servant, dignified and upright..."

I don't know, I'm just a simple traverser.... Xu Qi'an set his eyes on the handsome little brother:

"What does Jiro think?"

Xu Xinnian was silent, and after a long time, when Xu Pingzhi was almost impatient, he said slowly: "I have been thinking about one thing just now. ”

"The tax silver was robbed, and the emperor was furious, obviously attaching great importance to the silver. Criminals should be punished severely. ”

"Didn't those two deflated calves commit suicide in fear of sin? Xu Pingzhi said.

Glancing at his father, Xu Xinnian ignored it and continued: "What I can think of are two possibilities, one: there is a backer behind the household servant. Two: The emperor has concerns, such as maintaining some kind of delicate balance. ”

"The eldest brother said that the household department impeached Zhou Shilang for embezzling money and grain from the Mocan treasury. Why didn't he impeach another squire, and didn't impeach Tobe Shangshu?"

Xu Qi's heart moved: "Zhou Shilang's political enemies are dealing with him?"

Xu Xinnian bowed: "The teacher said that from ancient times to the present, the core of imperial art is always balance. The emperor did not move Zhou Shilang, indicating that this matter is likely to involve party disputes. ”

"What should I do then?" Second Uncle Xu asked subconsciously.

Xu Qi'an touched his chin and thought about it: "The emperor's mental technique may work in normal times, but now that Jingcha is imminent, as long as he can catch Zhou Shilang's handle, there is a great possibility to kill him, Jingcha is an ancestral system, even the emperor can't go his own way." The core of Confucian dragon slaying is the word "etiquette". So Zhou Shilang's political enemies will not stop there. ”

Xu Xinnian was taken aback, he didn't expect the words "dragon slayer" to pop out of his mouth, this is still the fast cousin?

.... I just watch a lot of costume dramas!Xu Qian said.

Of course, part of the reason is that there is a lot of history.

History books are the essence of human culture, and you will learn a lot from studying history.

History books are also the most useless things, because the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history.

Xu Qi'an, who likes to read history, originally scoffed at this sentence, but later found that there was some truth.

The reason is that when he was studying, his parents and teachers always said bitterly: You must study hard and study hard, otherwise you will regret it in the future.

Nobody takes it seriously.

It wasn't until he experienced setbacks and was beaten by society that he woke up.

Xu Qi'an's cousin is a person who doesn't like to read, and he failed to do business in the sea, and once blurted out: You have to study hard, otherwise you will regret it in the future.

After speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

Xu Xinnian's chin was raised, and he used the tone of the school examination: "What does the big brother think should be done." ”

You really don't want to admit defeat.... If you are the heroine, this tsundere character is not very pleasing.... I prefer the 36D coquettish and cute royal sister.... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and said with a calm expression:

"Why did Zhou Shilang create a tax and silver case? It is definitely not corruption, because corruption can be done at any time, so why bother to go against the cusp of Jingcha?"

"Unless he urgently needs a sum of silver, he needs this money to fill the hole, and the reason for filling the hole is precisely to deal with Jingcha. Xu Qi'an gave full play to his logical reasoning ability.

"So?" Xu Xinnian raised the corners of his mouth.

So we have to find out the real reason why Zhou Shilang embezzled taxes and silver, and we have to solve the case, so that Zhou Shilang has nothing to hide and confess his guilt to the law.... Xu Qi'an was about to say this, but suddenly saw Xu Erlang's eyes that seemed to be smiling, so he didn't say it.

"I understand!" Second Uncle Xu slapped his thigh, and spit flew excitedly: "So we want to expose this matter and let the surnamed Zhou have nothing to hide." ”

He was so excited that he felt like his head had finally come to light.

I'm not stupid either.... Second Uncle Xu thought proudly.

Xu Xinnian said "heh": "Father thinks that with your identity as a royal sword guard of the hundred households, you can be a dignified servant of the household department, and you can contact the files of the household department?"

Xu Pingzhi's face instantly stiffened.

Xu Dalang sighed: "Of course it can't be." ”

Thank you, second uncle, for going to thunder.

Xu Xinnian, who failed to suppress his cousin intellectually, was a little dissatisfied and asked, "What do you think the eldest brother should do?"

Xu Qi'an's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, "To drive the tiger and devour the wolf, the main force to deal with Zhou Shilang is not us, what we have to do is the last straw that crushes the camel." ”

As for how to do it, he hasn't figured it out yet.

Not bad..... Xu Xinnian bowed his head approvingly, and said: "Take a step back, we don't have to deal with Zhou Shilang, a dignified four-grade master, he has scheming skills, not that we can deal with it now, but people have weaknesses." ”

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, and he high-fived excitedly: "Zhou Li!"

"Yes, compared to Zhou Shilang, Zhou Li's fool is easier to deal with, and the charges of impeachment are not sufficient, so we will create the charges. Give knives to Zhou Xianping's political enemies and ask them to help us kill Zhou Xianping. Xu Xinnian's starry eyes flashed with a cruel color:

"Jingcha is imminent, if Zhou Shilang's son does something angry and resentful, as a father, Zhou Xianping will not be able to escape the blame. The emperor is willing to guarantee it once, but he may not be willing to guarantee it a second time. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xinnian frowned and said: "Although this entry point is good, it's just that people are not stupid, and the means of planting blame may not work." ”

Second Uncle Xu listened to his son and nephew, and suddenly found that the head of the family, had been pushed to the edge of this secret conversation, and he couldn't interject at all.

But with the analysis of his son's layers of analysis, Second Uncle Xu's thinking became clearer and clearer, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Can't help but slap the table excitedly:

"My son has the capital to quit the old one. ”

Could it be that your nephew and I don't have the qualifications of the first assistant? Xu Qi'an glanced at the second uncle, and took the opportunity to diss Xu Erlang:

"Erlang, so if you say that scholars talk about misleading the country, you can't escape the trap. ”

The corners of Xu Erlang's mouth twitched, and he said sarcastically: "Please teach the eldest brother." ”

Xu Qi'an didn't panic at all, "I can't give a way to make it, but I can provide an idea." ”

Second Uncle Xu hurriedly said, "Say it quickly." ”
