Chapter 278: The Poison of the Human Heart
Yan Shifan, who had suffered a loss at the Imperial Council, returned to his home, and his anger level was instantly full!
"Is this Wang Youzhao sick? Do you dare to rob me of my benefits? Do you really think that old dog Xu Jie can protect him?"
Yan Shifan was furious and fierce. He took a spoonful of Yiran candy and chewed it in his mouth. This silky sweetness was the best way to reduce his anger.
So when he has something to do, he can't help but take a spoonful or two to relieve his mood.
Luo Longwen looked at the furious Yan Shifan and sighed in his heart. He did not expect that Shuntian Mansion would actually play such a trick of pulling people out of the cauldron. It was really hard to guard against.
Luo Longwen comforted Yan Shifan, "Xiaoge Lao, please calm down, Wang Youzhao is just a short-sighted person. And didn't Ge Lao help us get back on track in the end? The City Construction Department asked him to do it, but But this person is still one of ours. Aren't we the ones who have the final say on what to do about this matter?"
Luo Longwen's comfort made Yan Shifan's anger subside a little, but Yan Shifan still snorted in displeasure. "If it weren't for my father's support today, I would have to read his book in front of the emperor. The expansion of the outer city of the capital is such a big deal, can he do it with Shuntian Mansion? Without me, Yan Shifan, can he accomplish it?
Yan Shifan thought for a while, and became angrier the more he thought about it, "I shouldn't have dragged him along to ask for the construction of the outer city of the capital. Now that the matter is done, he wants to live alone? How can there be such a good thing in the world? I need to give him some color. ”
At this point, Yan Shifan’s eyes couldn’t help but become cold, and he didn’t know what kind of bad water he was holding in his stomach?
Luo Longwen stood aside and looked at Yan Shifan like this. He also knew that Yan Shifan in this situation would definitely use his more powerful moves, but as for the destructive move, sometimes Luo Longwen's mind couldn't keep up with Yan Shifan's thoughts.
However, this did not prevent Luo Longwen from trying to please Yan Shifan. Just when Yan Shifan was thinking about how to deal with Wang Youzhao, Luo Longwen brought over the sandalwood box he brought.
"Mr. Xiaoge, this is the Song inkstone that I have gone through so much trouble to find for you. It is said to have been passed down by Su Dongpo. Please appreciate it."
Yan Shifan He raised his eyes and glanced at the inkstone handed over by Luo Longwen. It was indeed the shape of the Song Dynasty. The square and simple shape was not like the fancy carvings nowadays.
Yan Shifan hummed, "If you are interested, let it go first."
Luo Longwen happily put the inkstone aside and brought a cup of tea to Yan Shifan.
"Mr. Xiaoge, have you decided how to deal with Wang Youzhao? The villain has a plan."
Yan Shifan listened to Luo Longwen's voice and looked at Luo Longwen's respectful attitude. He also laughed immediately, "Tell me and listen."
Luo Longwen said quietly: "It will be winter soon."
Yan Shifan frowned slightly, "What's wrong with winter?"
>
Luo Longwen said: "People will definitely freeze to death in winter!"
Yan Shifan was a little disappointed when he heard this. People freeze to death in winter happens every year, especially in the capital. It is commonplace, and it is not a dilution matter at all. .
It is obviously a bit far-fetched to expect Wang Youzhao to be dealt with by someone who freezes to death in winter.
Yan Shifan said: "What's wrong with people freezing to death? The capital is located in the north, and it is extremely cold in winter. In which year does the capital not freeze to death a hundred and eighty people? If these people freeze to death, they will freeze to death. And What waste can be caused? This is no use as an excuse to deal with Wang Youzhao."
Luo Longwen smiled and said: "What if the people who freeze to death are not the beggars, but the civilians or workers who are working on the expansion of the capital?" br>
After Yan Shifan heard Luo Longwen's words, his eyes slowly lit up, "Yes, what if the people who froze to death were civilians and workers? Doesn't this mean that Shuntian Mansion is not doing things well? Why didn't I think of that?" < br>
Luo Longwen complimented: "That's because Mr. Xiaoge is kind-hearted. In the past, these workers and civilians were all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. Now that Shuntian Prefecture wants to hire an urban construction department to take over, then this matter must be done by Shuntian Prefecture." If Shuntian Prefecture fails to properly prepare supplies for these workers and workers, the workers and workers will freeze to death."
"At that time, we will only have to stand up for these workers. The poor workers and civilians who died spoke up, and the court will definitely uphold justice for these poor workers and civilians. As the governor of Shuntian and the direct person in charge of the City Construction Department, Wang Youzhao will definitely not be able to escape even half of the responsibility." After hearing this, Yan Shifan said. His joy became even stronger, and he couldn't help but scoop out a big spoonful of Yiran candy and put it in his mouth, "Okay, okay, wonderful, wonderful. This is really a good strategy. This winter, it is indeed my turn to make decisions for the people and clean up the corrupt officials."< br>
Such an insidious and sinister plan, such a vicious plan that does not regard the lives of ordinary people as life, actually became Yan Shifan's clever plan, and it also became his role as a good actor. Chance.
It can be seen from this that the poison of the human heart is so terrifying!
After Luo Longwen heard that his strategy was adopted by Yan Shifan, he felt happy in his heart.
Luo Longwen said: "As long as Mr. Xiaoge thinks it is good, I will follow your thoughts."
Yan Shifan said with a smile: "What you said is wrong, what do you mean? Follow my thoughts? Isn't this for justice for those poor workers and civilians?"
Luo Longwen quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the old man in Xiaoge has a kind heart, but he is a stupid person who can't speak. ”
Just when Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen came up with such a vicious plan, Wang Youzhao was indeed still depressed. He really couldn't figure out what Xu Jie's last few words meant.
What is meant by "If you argue with Xiaoge Lao, you have to think about who you can rely on. If you don't fight, you have to think about who you will offend."
Wang Youzhao wants to break it I didn't even think about why I was arguing with Xiaoge Lao?
Aren’t you just doing what you want by doing what this pioneer has chosen? Why is it that once things are done, we have to burn down the donkey and burn the bridge across the river?
This is immoral!
The more Wang Youzhao thought about it, the more something was wrong, "No, you have to ask this guy Zhang Juzheng to find out."
Wang Youzhao immediately called to the officials in his mansion, "Go and find Zhang Juzheng, the bachelor of Hanlin Academy. I have someone in my mansion." Ask him. "
After hearing his master's words, Wang Youzhao's housekeeper did not dare to delay, and quickly sent one to find Zhang Juzheng.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng was not at home, but was in Prince Yu's palace to announce the good news to Prince Yu.
So, Wang Youzhao wanted to ask Zhang Juzheng what was going on at this time, but it was destined to be in vain. He could only think hard about what went wrong.
Why did Xu Jie say such things to him in the end? Is this to treat him as an abandoned son?
Wang Youzhao couldn't help but feel chills all over when he thought of this. Although he was an official for so many years, he was called Xu Jie's mentor, but he knew very well how cruel his mentor was. In order to please Yan Song, Yan Shifan, he did not hesitate to give his granddaughter to someone else's son as a concubine.
And I am just one of the many disciples behind Xu Jie, and reaching the official position of Shuntian Prefecture is considered the end of my career. Even if I can go further, I will either be sent to a province to be the chief envoy. Or he is the deputy position of a certain Six Ministries and Jiuqing Yamen.
If he wants to take another step forward, unless a miracle happens, he will not be able to get the core position of the imperial court at all. After all, the Shuntian Mansion during the Ming Dynasty was a third-rank official, which was completely different from the high-ranking officials at the deputy national level who led the capital in later generations.
So, if Wang Youzhao said in his heart that he was not panicking, he would be living in hell.
