Wei Ming looked up at Li Yan, looked at Zong Ze again, and said, "It was not possible at first, but the magistrate of the 'New Policy' was not easy for everyone. He started to join in groups since the Yuanfeng period of the late emperor. In the eighth year of Yuanyou, after He Yi arrived, the gentry and wealthy families on Hongzhou Prefecture and the entire Jiangnan West Road were anxious. They even did not connect and connect. Rumors, we just spread a few of them. The ones behind were not spread by us. We connected all of them with a certain status. The ones behind were connected by themselves..."

Li Yan was stunned and confused when he heard this. Why did he just connect and make a series of major events after a few rumors, which made the court angry and made so many big moves?

Zong Ze's heart is indeed like a mirror, and he is calm and silent.

He believed Wei Ming's words by 80%.

Whether it was the "Wang Anshi Reform" during the late emperor's period or the current "Shaosheng New Policy" that touched these gentry and made these people resist openly and secretly.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the late emperor, resisting the "new law" was blatant. In the court, the slander, attack, frame-up, and persecution against Wang Anshi and others was not stopped for a moment, and it was quite cruel. Let alone the local area, there were all kinds of means, and they were endless and dazzling.

Therefore, the Chu family can achieve this level not because of the powerful force and powerful means of the Chu family. In essence, they have "common interests" and "common enemies", and they all agree.

Li Yan didn't care about this and was too lazy to care about it. With Wei Ming and the Chu family plotting to murder Ying Guan and others, it would be enough for them to die a hundred times, and it would also make Li Yan tenable.

Li Yan stood up and said, "Cut their confessions, get personal evidence, and do a solid job for our family. Then call all the brothers back. Tonight, I want them to know that our family's face is not that easy to beat!"

Zong Ze heard everything he wanted to hear, and looked at Wei Ming, Chu Zheng, and Chu Qingqiu again, turned around and walked out.

Li Yan seemed to have not seen him, and Zong Ze left like this, which was equivalent to resolving what he had just said.

Li Yan's pale face showed a fierce look.

The feeling of helplessness and coldness that was almost beaten to death in the Chu family before made him scared and angry!

"yes."

The guards responded and moved quickly.

Wei Ming said a lot, lowered his head weakly, waited for a while, accumulated a lot of strength, raised his head, looked at Li Yan, and said, "Eunuch Li, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to survive. How much is it? You can offer a price."

Only then did Li Yan remember that the network of relationships among these people shrouded Hongzhou Prefecture, not only to fight against the "New Deal", but also to "make money"!

Thinking of the Chu family information he investigated, not only the houses, shops, money and grain, and countless acres of land in Hongzhou Prefecture, but also the entire Jiangnan West Road and the rich prefectures and counties along the coast, there are also many acres of land!

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he walked forward and said, "How much can you give?"

Wei Ming was not foolish and said, "All my property, house, shop, land, acres, money, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., can be converted into 100,000 yuan. This is all my life. I just want Eunuch Li to give up my hands and let me live."

Now, Wei Ming knew that no one could ask for anything else, he only wanted to survive.

Hundreds of thousands of coins!

"Is that little?" Li Yan was immediately unhappy.

Even the officials of the Song Dynasty, even the sixth and seventh ranks, were rich. Wei Ming had been an official for many years and was a noble family. How could he have only 100,000 key figures in Hongzhou Prefecture?

Wei Ming smiled hard and said, "How dare I deceive my father-in-law? This is all my property."

Seeing this, Li Yan believed it and turned to look at Chu Zheng. Chu Qingqiu and his son said, "Do you want to survive?"

From time to time, Chu Zheng spit out unknown liquid from his mouth, and his body was still hot oil. He gushes out of his mouth and spit out a word: "I want."

Chu Qingqiu couldn't speak at all, as if he was fainting, and kept hanging his head.

"The Chu family has a great career, not only 100,000 yuan, right?" Li Yan picked up the iron whip and raised Chu Zheng's chin.

Chu Zheng's face twitched violently, and there was no human form. He spit out another stream of liquid from his mouth, as if he felt a little better. His eyes opened a crack and said intermittently: "We... make... 300,000 ounces..."

"Three hundred thousand coins?"

Li Yan suddenly had a gloomy face and said, "Although your Chu family is not as good as those wealthy families in the capital, they have been operating on Jiangnan West Road for decades, and they have so much filial piety, and that's all..."

Chu Zheng seemed to be unable to support him, lowered his head and said, "Give me some time, I can raise 400,000 yuan. Please forgive us for our lives..."

Li Yan smiled satisfied and said, "I am so sensible."

Li Yan turned around, looked at Xing Ming, and said, "After recording their confessions, obtaining the evidence of the person, draw a list, and then find an intermediary to meet the people on the list, and ask them to raise money to buy their lives within three days. If they refuse to give money, they will search their homes."

A guard of the police stepped forward and whispered: "Dadfather-in-law, why bother? Just search the house directly?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "You don't understand. I don't know how much money and grain these people have hidden. If they don't hand over it, we can't find it no matter how much we look for it. Besides, they only have so much property, but don't they have a lot of clans, relatives and friends?"

Si Wei immediately understood and said, "The villain understands, give them a big lion's mouth!"

Li Yan smiled more, and then became gloomy again in a flash, saying, "When will brothers come back?"

Si Wei's expression also became colder and said, "Dadfather-in-law, you can come back the day after tomorrow!"

Li Yan felt a scorching pain on his face, and reached out to touch it, and said more viciously: "Okay, when the brothers come back, I will confiscate the Chu family first!"

Chu Zheng was shocked, raised his head and said, "Brother-in-law, we agreed..."

Li Yan ignored him at all, thought for a while, and said, "I'll write to Beijing. You are optimistic about it here. You must do it carefully and not give it a clear explanation."

"Yes!" Si Wei Su responded with a look of expression.

The governor Zong said repeatedly and harsh words here just now, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Li Yan left the cell, came to his room, sat at the desk, frowned, and became thoughtful at all.

Although he didn't read much, it was still easy to write a secret letter.

But how to describe this matter clearly is beneficial to him.

There are so many people who write books and secret messages about the Chu family. If the matter is so big, you must be careful to avoid giving the official impression of "foreignty" and that will not be worth the loss.

Li Yan picked up the pen several times and put it down, but he couldn't write a single word.

At this moment, Zong Ze left the Nanhuangchengsi and was riding a carriage back to his temporary yamen.

Chen Ju sat next to him and said shakingly: "Governor, this Hongzhou Prefecture is really messy. Xianggong Lin's words are right. It's better to change the capital. Xiangzhou Prefecture is very good."

Zong Ze closed his eyes, but his brows kept frowning, saying, "Xiangzhou Prefecture may not be much better than Hongzhou Prefecture. The meaning of Xianggong Lin is the base of Nandaying, not the capital of the two routes. What do you think of Li Yan?"

Chen Ju blinked his eyes, then thought seriously, and then slowly said: "Governor, this person is not simple. In the case of the Chu family, he did not let the guards draw their swords, know how to advance and retreat, be very powerful, have a clever mind, and be patient enough, rare! Such people either have no chance. Once they have the chance, they will definitely be at a high position in the future and will be a ruthless person!"
