Chapter 161 Planning
The things are naturally good things, and the price is not low, but Xu De really dared not take any money. Xu De couldn't know what money could be taken and what money could not be taken. If he took it himself, the emperor would not be able to explain it.
Of course, Xu De had another idea, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.
I stumbled on my face, and then I used the money to dispose of myself as if I were? I beg for food? Our Eunuch Xu is not short of this. He reached out and flipped through the paper in the plate, and a smile appeared on Xu De's face.
The smile was like the sun shining on the ice and snow, and the whole room became warm in an instant and the atmosphere became better.
Seeing Xu De's expression, Kong Shangxian sneered in his heart and thought disdainfully that this is the eunuch. It is said that eunuchs are dogs, but now it seems that they are really. Just a little money is just this kind of virtue, it is like throwing a bone to a dog and wagging its tail at you.
Kong Shangxian felt that he had learned another trick. If he had to do such things for a long time in the future, wouldn’t it be money!
But Kong Shangxian never thought that he had looked down on Xu De at all before and could not bear to let go of a bone. Now he felt that the dog was about to bite people, so he threw out a bone. It was just like this. You can't be kind to him and you have to deal with him.
"Yan Shenggong, our family is disrespectful!" Xu De smiled and put away the things, and handed them to the little eunuch beside him.
"Eunuch Xu, don't be polite about some worthless things!" Kong Shangxian said hurriedly.
After this toss and tricks, the subsequent conversation naturally went smoothly. Kong Shangxian directly put forward his own ideas, saying that he was willing to pay taxes, and asked Xu De to lead him to turn a white face to the emperor. The impeachment of the censor was slander.
Xu De naturally agreed without any tricks, as if everything was easy to say and everything was easy to do.
When Kong Shangxian left, the smile on Xu De's face disappeared instantly, his voice became colder, and he cursed: "Idiot!"
Kong Shangxian left the door, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "A dog-like thing, when this matter is over, let's see how I deal with you. My Kong family's things are so easy to get."
The two of them had their own thoughts, but the seemingly harmonious meeting ended like this.
Inside the room, Xu De glanced at the little eunuch holding the thing and said, "Have our people opened the way?"
"Go back to my father-in-law, it's connected!" the little eunuch said quickly: "Our people have already met Kong Shangqi, and the meeting time has been arranged. Tonight, Kong Shangxian has arranged someone to target them."
Xu De sneered and said, "Then let's meet this Kong Shangqi."
Kong Shangqi and Kong Sicheng's generation are very frustrated in the Kong family. Xu De believes that Kong Shangqi will definitely cooperate with him, especially after Kong Shangxian asked someone to monitor them.
I didn't stay in the Kong family to watch the fun, but the purpose was to make Kong Shangqi.
This time, if he had not made any contribution, he would return to the capital in a mess. Not to mention the emperor, Xu De himself was shameless. Zhang Jing left Beijing several times, but he did everything beautifully.
Xu De felt embarrassed when he left Beijing and got things done.
Jinan Prefecture, Yang Family.
As a wealthy family in Jinan Prefecture, although the Yang family is not very famous, it is not very famous. However, people outside don’t know that the Yang family is not only a gentry in Jinan Prefecture, but also the location of the Shandong branch of the White Lotus Sect.
Yang Fei, the head of the Yang family, is the leader of the Shandong branch of the Bailian Sect. He has hidden deep in so many years.
As night fell, a banquet was being held in the back house of the Yang family. Yang Fei, the head of the Yang family, could only sit sideways with him. Sitting on the front seat was an old man with squinting eyes, and beside him was a woman in her thirties.
There is a little similarity between the two people's eyebrows and eyes, and you can tell that they are women at a glance.
This old man is Wang Shan, the left guardian of the White Lotus Sect, and the woman beside him is his daughter, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Wang Lianer, who is known as the reincarnation of Tang Sai'er.
"Yang Fei, how are you in contact?" Wang Shan looked at Yang Fei and asked faintly.
Hearing Wang Shan’s question, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yang Fei’s face and he said with some distress: “Those people are too brave. I’ll ask them to contact them, ask them to write a letter together, and send someone to besiege the imperial envoy. They don’t have the courage to do so!”
In fact, Yang Fei had already received orders from the church members to incite the gentry in Jinan Prefecture to cause trouble.
He opposed the imperial envoy and resisted the tax, but Yang Fei did not expect that the gentry in Jinan Prefecture was so brave. The Chai family was fined 110,000 taels of silver and still did not dare to make trouble. The old man Chai Chong fainted in anger and did not dare to make trouble.
While Yang Fei was angry, he was a little helpless. What was this called a matter?
Wang Shan didn't care and said with a smile: "I have expected this a little bit long ago. They don't have the courage to do so, but we can give them some courage. The matter is done by man. Now Jinan Prefecture is just a pile of dry firewood, and a little sparks are splashed on it."
A little stunned, Yang Fei asked quickly, "Can you come out?"
Wang Shan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no way for the gentry, so let's start from the court. Aren't the Taxation Department and the Jinyiwei rampant? Then let's kill a few of them!"
Speaking of this, a ruthlessness flashed in Wang Shan's eyes, and he continued: "If someone dies at this time, will the imperial envoy suspect who will the imperial envoy suspect?"
Yang Fei's eyes were stunned and he spoke directly: "It's a gentry from Jinan Prefecture."
Nodding, Wang Shan said with a smile: "That's true. Seeing the pseudo-emperor acting, he was domineering and arrogant. After the victory of the Northwest, his momentum rose sharply. Once he had momentum, his actions would naturally not be suppressed."
"If such a thing happened to Jinan Prefecture, the pseudo-emperor will definitely not give up."
"Otherwise, if you kill someone today and kill someone tomorrow, who will dare to collect the tax? At that time, the pseudo-emperor will definitely make people investigate this matter thoroughly, so who is suitable to investigate this matter thoroughly?" Speaking of this, Wang Shan stopped talking again, looking mysterious and mysterious.
But Yang Fei reacted and clapped his hands and said, "It's the Jinyiwei!"
"The Jinyiwei's Xing Shangzhi is in Jinan Prefecture. Once such a thing happens to Jinan Prefecture, the pseudo-emperor will definitely let the Jinyiwei investigate the matter thoroughly."
Wang Shan smiled and said, "It's this kind of ceremony. Xing Shangzhi is a rebellious and vicious person. We have known this for a long time, but he has been suppressed by Liu Shouyou for so many years. This time, Liu Shouyou was dismissed from office, and Xing Shangzhi took the position of commander of the Jinyiwei, and he must be eager to make contributions."
"If he asked him to investigate the matter of Jinan Prefecture, he would definitely lock the whole city. At that time, we just need to do some tricks and frame a few gentry families, and we are afraid that things will not work. When these gentry are scared and we will be ambushed, Jinan Prefecture will naturally fall into chaos."
Yang Fei raised his wine glass with admiration: "The left envoy is in the sky, and Yang really admires this glass of wine. Yang to the left envoy!"
Wang Shan smiled and narrowed his eyes and drank the wine, then put down the wine glass and said, "Of course, this matter needs careful arrangements. The moving people must be capable, and the goal is to hit it with one blow."
"Don't worry, the left envoy!" Yang Fei nodded and said, "I will definitely choose the most capable person."
"The more the noise, the better. Is this the candidate for assassination?" Wang Shan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment and said, "Just choose the skin kid. This person is the Chief of the Shandong Taxation Department."
"These days it's because he is charging into battle. This person's intention is that Jinan Prefecture will be in an uproar and the pseudo-emperor will be furious."
Yang Fei nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement. If this vote is done, there will be great potential.
When the White Lotus Sect conspired to kill Pigan and encouraged the gentry and court to rebel, Xu De was meeting Kong Shangqi of the Kong family. Compared with the White Lotus Sect, this place was much more low-key.
Not to mention the banquet, there was not even a cup of tea, and neither of them even had an electric light.
It was dark and the two of them couldn't even see their faces clearly, but their expressions were very serious.
"Eunuch Xu, we are all children of the Kong family. We know very well what the truth happened back then." Kong Shangqi said in a deep voice: "The impeachment of the imperial envoy must be a false accusation. Please ask Eunuch Xu to report to Chen on his behalf."
Xu De sneered: "A wise man doesn't say secret words. If this is the case, you won't be able to see me."
"Our family is a rough man, and I haven't read many books, so what do you say." Xu Decai didn't have the intention to go around with Kong Shangqi and said directly: "If our family doesn't believe you are not frustrated in your heart, I won't mention the affairs of your ancestors. Are you not frustrated now?"
"Look at what life Kong Shangxian lives, and see what life you live."
"Tsk tsk!" Speaking of this, Xu De sighed: "It seems to be someone? If the court wants to dismiss Kong Shangxian and confer you a title, do you believe that Kong Shangxian dares to kill you? Or kill your lineage."
Kong Shangqi had a gloomy face. He was still not used to Xu De's way of speaking, not to mention that Xu De's words were full of ridicule.
However, Kong Shangqi also knew that Xu De was deliberately stimulating himself. In fact, Kong Shangqi also knew that Xu De's words made sense. Kong Shangxian didn't have the courage to kill his own family, but he definitely had the courage to kill his family.
In addition, his family has already been looked down upon, Kong Shangqi is even more sure of this.
It was precisely because of this that Kong Shangqi came to see Xu De, but Kong Shangqi also had concerns in his heart. After pondering for a moment, Kong Shangqi asked, "Eunuch Xu, what do you think I should do?"
Xu De smiled slightly and said directly: "Of course it is the filth of Emperor Shuo, who exposes Kong Shangxian's lineage."
"Write in detail the persecution you have suffered in this lineage. Our family will submit the memorial on your behalf. At that time, the emperor will naturally make the decision for you!"
Kong Shangqi sat in the darkness, his eyes were unstable, and he was still weighing the pros and cons. After a while, Kong Shangqi spoke, "Eunuch Xu, I have heard of the matter of His Majesty asking Kong Shangqian to preside over the birthday sacrifice of the saint."
