"I'll give you ten days to think about it, and if I can't wait for your reply after ten days, then ask for more blessings. ”

This is the last sentence that Liu Yan left for Li Yuanfang today.

Arrogant, indulgent, and sharp, resounding through the corridor inlaid with gold and jasper, like the judge's astonishment.

This is Liu Yan, who is unruly in his dealings with people, arrogant in his words and deeds, even if he is at a disadvantage, he never thinks about how to calm things down, but uses his strongest hand to brutally collapse the enemy's advantages. Like an axe, whether you are a thousand-year-old stubborn wood or that diamond stone, I will only slash and slash until you are broken into slag.

Li Yuanfang's banquet today is obviously inappropriate.

At least he didn't even get the most basic preparations...

He thought that Liu Yan was just a calf with a little resourcefulness, and that he could tame it for his own use with a little lure and coercion by virtue of his noble status, but he was wrong. Liu Yan had already made all the preparations, and with his amazing computing power, he deduced all the powerful relationships hidden behind Longtang's credit accounts, thus seizing Li Yuanfang's death hole. Under Liu Yan's bombardment, Li Yuanfang's so-called advantages seemed so ridiculous, and in the end, he was even shaken by Liu Yan.

However, having a mind to calculate and not to have an intention can always take the lead.

Liu Yan has his own flaws, and this flaw will cause a lot of his hard work to be wasted.

He just said that Xia Xun is not as good as him, but if it was Xia Xun who was there just now, none of these things would have happened...

"Seeing the subtleties and thinking carefully, this person is really a genius. It's a pity that the city is too shallow. ”

“......”

Not long after Liu Yan left the wing, behind the rosewood door that Li Yuanfang had walked out of, a voice suddenly came!

If Liu Yan still stayed here, he would inevitably be like five thunderbolts at this time, and he was stunned. Because, according to his thinking, there was only Li Yuanfang in that room, and there should be no one in the room when Li Yuanfang came out. But now this voice undoubtedly means that there are people in the room. It's terrifying. Because, this undoubtedly means that what Liu Yan said before has already fallen into the ears of this fourth person word for word.

This is not an eavesdropping on the wall, but an open-minded observer.

The so-called virtual reality is also virtual, and the city of Liuyan is too shallow, and the blind spot of thinking is inevitable.

The people in this room tricked him into believing that he had changed his form with a slight move.

And this person's identity doesn't need to be thought about anymore to be revealed...

Liu Yan had actually guessed correctly a long time ago, but unfortunately he was wrong.

It's like the test paper of his national exam, forgetting to pay for it.

Li Yuanfang silently took the wine jug, filled the empty bowl with wine, took two sips in his mouth, and savored the previous scene. There are many things that he can't decide, even if he knows that Liu Yan is not that powerful, he doesn't miss anything. After thinking for a while, Li Yuanfang faintly admired: "Yes, it is indeed a genius." It only takes 40 days to completely understand the leveraged lending method that you have been painstakingly planning for many years. ”

"Intrigued?"

"It's inevitable. ”

"But you don't have a choice. ”

Li Yuanfang thought for a while, looked at the wine in the bowl, and said flatly: "I think you should add some chips." ”

"Looks like you're really intrigued. ”

"I just want to have peace of mind. ”

“......”

The people in the inner room seemed to be a little displeased, and did not immediately answer Li Yuanfang's words.

The noise outside the cabin gradually faded away as Liu Yan left, and finally only the sound of falling rain remained, which was hasty, crisp and regular. After waiting for a long time, the talent in the room said in a deep voice: "As long as the plan is successfully implemented, all the shares of the Huang family will be pledged in your hands, and you will get 20% of the profits, what else do you want?"

Gently shaking the wine in the bowl, Li Yuanfang replied calmly: "What he said is good, what can be obtained in my hand is truly mine." Twenty percent profit is too little, I want fifty percent. ”

The people in the inner room didn't think much about it this time, and reprimanded with a slight anger: "Your idea is very naïve. ”

Li Yuanfang smiled lightly: "I think it is necessary for you to consider my suggestion carefully." ”

"I'm a businessman, and losing money is never on my radar. ”

"Then you're going to make it hard for me. ”

"Can I understand that you're threatening me?"

"I just want to put myself at ease. ”

“......”

Across the door and wall, the two of them have their own ghosts, and they both have their own abacus.

So much so that it suddenly became silent again, and the sound of falling rain could not accommodate the atmosphere here, as if it was isolated in another world.

If it is said that who is the final winner on the ship today, there must be no doubt about the people in the inner wing.

He was a very careful man, and even when his friends were in trouble in the past, he saw the wind to pull the rudder up, and the same is true today.

Although Liu Yan calculated his strategy and purpose, a small mistake was enough to make Liu Yan fall short. Because, if Liu Yan's words were all heard by this person, then he would inevitably be on guard. Not only to guard against Liu Yan, but also against Li Yuanfang. And Li Yuanfang is not a loser, because after being reminded by Liu Yan, he saw the deadly threat hidden beside him.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Liu Yan is the biggest loser today.

To lose is to lose in his insatiable greed and self-inflicted cleverness. If he wasn't so greedy and could deliver the official documents to Jin Luan step by step, then both the Long Tang and the Huang family would inevitably suffer heavy damage. Liu Yan, sooner or later, he will be able to get what he wants.

"How about I give you a strategy to reassure you?"

When the inner wing room came, Li Yuanfang drank the remaining wine in the bowl and said, "Say." ”

The person in the wing room continued: "The national examination is now coming to an end, and I expect that Li Jiancheng will be defeated by Xia Xun. This is your chance, after Li Jiancheng's defeat, you will report all the inside information and accounts of Longtang to your father in your name, along with the technique of credit and leverage. If he asks about you and me, you don't need to hide it, just tell the truth. ”

“......”

When Li Yuanfang heard this, he was immediately shocked, and almost didn't take off the wine bowl and fell to the ground.

He could never have imagined that the people inside would say such a thing, not at all like a businessman, but more like a martyr.

"Why is this? If I pass on the inside story of the Dragon Hall to my father, your Huang family will be wiped out. ”

There was almost no space in the voice of the inner wing, and then he said: "You don't have to worry too much, if Your Majesty wants to destroy my full door, he only needs to issue a holy decree, why do you have to endure it so far? My Huang family has always acted above board, and there has been no major fault in the past three hundred years, even if the scattered shares are first towards the Tang Dynasty, and even at the expense of giving all the family business, the loyalty is visible to the sun and the moon." I believe that with the wisdom of Your Majesty, you will be able to understand the good intentions of my Huang family. ”

"But..."

Li Yuanfangjue's resourcefulness was very limited, and he couldn't guess the mood and intentions of the people in the inner wing room at all.

Unbelievable, I was speechless for a while...

Could it really be as he said, in order to prove his innocence, he was willing to give away the Huang family's endless family business?

Li Yuanfang couldn't believe it, but at this time he had to believe it.

Because the people in the inner wing don't joke about it.

Therefore, Li Yuanfang inevitably began to be a little worried.

If he really did what the people in the wing room said and reported everything to Jinluan, although Li Yuanfang could protect himself, the Tang Dynasty would inevitably take action, and even take over all the loan business from Longtang and become owned by the imperial court. Without the bills written in black and white, and the resources of the Huang family, Li Yuanfang was empty.

"But this... Isn't that good?"

"This strategy can protect you, and my Huang family will not have any losses, the best of both worlds, why is it bad?"

"But... But..."Li Yuanfang hesitated, as if there was something difficult to say.

The people in the inner wing obviously knew what Li Yuanfang was worried about, so they took over directly and said, "However, your throne is a mirror, right?"

"Uh..."

Li Yuanfang's face was slightly embarrassed and did not answer.

"Huh. ”

The people in the inner room then smiled inexplicably: "What Liu Yan said is right." ”

Li Yuanfang asked, "How is it right?"

"You are a noble man who can save us a lot of unnecessary trouble, but you are not necessary. The Huang family can find someone else to replace them without your help. The Fourteenth Prince was a good choice, and I don't think he would refuse. If you want to settle down, quitting now is your best choice, and my Huang family can still give you a credit. After a pause, the speaker said slowly: "In the future, you can be your Seventh Emperor with peace of mind." ”

Words, very bland.

But the sharp words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into Li Yuanfang's weakest atrium fiercely, causing his cheeks to twitch for a while. He obviously couldn't accept such a result, because in the nearly two hundred years of the history of the Tang royal family, there has never been an emperor who can die well. Li Chang'an, who has been living in Yueyang for more than ten years, is a living example.

The indecisive nature finally set the direction under the persecution of this sword.

"I'll listen to your arrangement, but you have to help me settle Liu Yan's affairs. ”

"This man is deceitful and greedy, and he will never be left behind. ”

“......”

The rain was falling wildly, and the dim vision seemed to have no edge. Bright lightning continued to shuttle through the dark clouds like a silver snake, illuminating the heavens and the earth bright and white again and again. The rumbling thunder was deafening, like the roar of the god of thunder cleansing the world of all filth and sin. The wind roared, savagely setting off the waves of the angry sea of Xuanwu Lake, the willow branches on the shore were dragged and torn, and the eaves tiles were in danger.

A horse-drawn carriage led hundreds of officers and soldiers away from the lakeshore in the misty rain.

The lightning pierced the darkness, and it was faintly visible that the face of the young man in the carriage had been beaten red and swollen, but his eyes were still like poisonous snakes staring at the gorgeous merchant ships on the edge of Xuanwu Lake. The old man behind him was helpless...

Pillars of rain flew all over the sky, like thousands of sharp arrows thrown at the earth, unstoppable and powerful.

Inside, on a small hill by Xuanwu Lake, there is a pavilion.

In the pavilion, there are now two people in robes who are sheltering from the rain.

They have been sitting here for a long time.

"What is Liu Yan doing here?"

"It seems that I want to turn over the hole cards of the Dragon Hall. ”

"Didn't Liu Chuan warn him?"

"Apparently there is, but he certainly won't listen. ”

"He's such a wonder. ”

"Hehe..."

Wet raincoats trickle water down the grass tips onto the stone floor, and on the steps of the stone pavilion are a gold-ringed knife.

The two people in the pavilion should have some background, at least from the words, they seem to know a lot of things. One of them was eight feet tall, his face was as hard as iron, his eyes were full of energy, and the chain mail under his coat could not completely restrain his muscles, and he was raised high like the roots of an old tree, as if it contained infinite strength. The other man's style was diametrically opposite, his thin figure was no more than five feet tall, and his body was completely enveloped by a robe. The eyebrows are sparse, the temples are gray, and he holds a manuscript book and a brush to write records from time to time, and standing next to the former is like a lion and a deer. However, this person also has a unique bearing, speaking elegantly and politely, and there is a faint bookish atmosphere between the lines.

Apparently they are all from the court...

"Liu Yan shouldn't know something, right?"

"This man is knowledgeable and arithmetic, and His Majesty intends to let him succeed Liu Chuan in charge of the Ministry of Gold, so he orders him to supervise the implementation of the three orders of the unit to test the depth. Recently, he took the opportunity to frequently go in and out of the Marble and Criminal Department, and transferred nearly 100 files from it. Even knowing anything is not surprising. ”

"What should I write today?" the thin man asked suddenly.

The strong man thought for a moment, and then replied: "You are a secretary, you know better than me how to write." ”

The thin man looked indecided: "But the matter is very wide-ranging, and the Royal House Office is also involved. We don't know the truth, and if we only record the general situation, I am afraid that it will cause many misunderstandings. ”

The strong man held his hands in his arms, and said slowly: "Since you don't know it, it's better not to know it." ”

"I don't know?"

"Like us now. ”

"Oh..."

The thin man probably understood the meaning, thought for a moment, then nodded, put up a brush and wrote two crosses in the manuscript book: the fourteenth day of the summer month, the heavy rain is majestic, and the willow rock swims in Xuanwu Lake, safe and sound, strange.

This sentence is quite interestingly written.

The number of words is not much, but the ambiguity of the word strange is enough to make people reverie and speculate.

I don't know if it's a heavy rain, but Liu Yan swims in Xuanwu Lake, which is strange. It is still Liu Yan who swims in Xuanwu Lake, but he is safe and sound. All in all, there is a lot of article, as for the article, it is up to the reader to find out for himself...

Xuanwu Lake is located at the east end of Chang'an West City, north of Xuanwu Street to Xuanwu Gate, west of Zhenwu Mountain reflecting the mountain golden maple. Looking down from the sky, it is like the heart of a city, and countless criss-crossing tributaries are the blood vessels and meridians of this heart, which connects the Bishui Canal, the official road in the south of the city, and the Weishui in the east of the city.

Today's majestic rain, but just a few hours after falling, has forcibly pulled up the water level of Xuanwu Lake by several feet. Rolling waves, blazing in all directions, washed away the low hills and flooded the coastal streets. Many of the big fish in the lake are washed up on the shore with the high tide, constantly jumping in fear in the shallow puddles. It's just that today's rain is so strong that the slightest carelessness can knock people to the ground, or even rush into the lake. Therefore, because of the fear of life, no one dared to pick up a basket and walk out of the building, to covet the trivial bargain.

Riding the strong wind, along the flooded streets, all the way north with the rolling water, the rain gradually weakened. After traveling 1,600 miles and entering the boundary of Chang'an North City, the dark clouds began to become clear, with a hint of blue in the fog. Although the view is still obscured by the rain and fog, and the buildings in the distance cannot be seen clearly, the majestic rain is only a continuous drizzle.

A short walk along the moat will reveal a unique complex of buildings in the distance.

The radius is nearly ten miles, and there are countless jagged small buildings. Because it is built on the mountain, the scenery of each small building has its own merits. Walking along the mountain, the winding paths are secluded, and the paths paved with cobblestones have nine twists and eighteen bends, connecting each small building gate. In the courtyard of each small building, there are a number of stone benches, arranged with a number of flowers and bonsai of different forms. Leisure, simple and quiet, like a secluded place in the mountains and forests, which is pleasing to the eye.

The name here is the Sifang Terrace.
