Xu Jie sat there solemnly like a mountain. His short figure did not suddenly grow taller and bigger, but everyone present felt his oppression!

"The third thing I'll invite you all today..." Xu Jie controlled the rhythm and said slowly: "I want to discuss with you the so-called 'Silver Gang' thing that just appeared in Yanping!"

This is the second time he said this.

When I said it for the first time, no one took this sentence to heart because they all felt that Xu Jie couldn't move even if he wanted to! But now it's different! That "gift" made them dare not ignore any word that came out of the mouth of the King of Hell!

"Yanping mine thieves have been ineffective for many years. I believe everyone knows the reason better than me!" Xu Jie said: "How did they have fish and meat in the countryside before? They always have a concern, fearing everyone here and the local gentry! But recently they have become more and more unscrupulous!" He pointed to Li Yan and said: "Beating a Swen boy and attacking the Jinshi sedan! Do you still take our imperial officials seriously in your eyes? Not to mention the villagers and the Lijia! How can Yanping manage it in the long run? If Yanping becomes chaotic, how can we explain to the court?"

When Li Yan heard this, he thought to himself: "Why did he say this? Is he trying to compromise with these corrupt officials?" He knew that these two words seemed simple, but in fact they had a lot of mystery. He could say a few words to clarify the enemy and distinguish the boundaries! The meaning of the inner meaning is: Now that people who can enter this room now, everyone actually have a common position and similar identities. We can allow those mine thieves to do whatever they want, but now they are gradually making trouble for us, and even the Jinshi sedan dares to stop them. If they are allowed to develop, who knows whether they will hit our heads tomorrow? The last two sentences are threats in a gentle sentence: If the matter gets bigger and bigger, let the emperor know, everyone here will have to lose their wealth! They have to vomit out what they have eaten!

Sure enough, after Xu Jie said this, the officials of all sizes and all the officials in the inner hall whispered and nodded, feeling that it was reasonable.

After the hall calmed down, Xu Jie said again: "It has been nearly a year since Xu has arrived here. He knows that Yanping's governance and chaos depend on you. Therefore, Xu Jie wants to use this birthday party to discuss with you to see how to deal with these thieves!" As he said that, he pointed outside - most of the thieves he mentioned were sitting outside!

After a few major officials pondered for a moment, they asked by the magistrate Youxi: "I wonder how the Lord is going to deal with all the people involved? After the disposal is completed, how should we do this aftermath?"

These few words were very tactful, and Li Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this! Everyone present, except him and Xu Jie, was afraid that no one would be clean in the matter of stealing the mine! It doesn't matter if Xu Jie wants to attack those people outside, but they are worried that they will hit them in the end! Therefore, this question is!

"This is simple!" Xu Jie said: "I think you and I will work together to deal with these thieves! Afterwards, select good and powerful people and take over the mines!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the room breathed a sigh of relief! Li Yanzhi felt a little disappointed.

Why was Man Zu relieved? Because Xu Jie's words clearly meant: I just want to attack those dark and black people this time. I don't plan to move people like you, who are light and half black and not completely black. Not only that, after you attack these people, we will select another group of obedient new people to take over the private mine, which means that our vested interests will not be damaged at all. Some people even thought: Going to the old and establishing the new will be a good opportunity to make a fortune! Therefore, everyone in the house was relieved of their hearts and praised Xu Tuan's brilliant plan!

Why is Li Yanzhi slightly disappointed? Because Xu Jie's approach is not intended to eradicate the existing bureaucratic malpractice! But he just fine-tuned the current situation! This is a very realistic approach, and it should be said that it is already very good for Xu Jie to do this! Li Yanzhi had also thought about this possibility, but he had higher expectations for him, so he was slightly disappointed with Xu Jie's compromise.

Just amid the praises, the magistrate of Yong'an said: "In Yanping, the mountains and rivers are bad, and the people are tricky! The situation is very complicated! Although these people are hateful, they also have some things to use! It is better to use the old than to use the new than to use the raw than to use the fresh, I think..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yanzhi knew that this person was going to be bad. He thought about when it was going to be, and you still want to save those bandits?

Sure enough, Xu Jie stood up angrily, cut off his words and shouted: "Sir Yu, it seems that you have a good relationship with those mine thieves!"

The magistrate of Yong'an was shocked. When he was about to close his mouth, he was already drowned in the saliva of all the officials in the hall! All the officials pointed at the magistrate of Yong'an and cursed, and were all filled with righteous indignation, as if everyone present was the magistrate of Yong'an, and the others were all good ministers of the Ming Dynasty and good civil servants of the government!

The magistrate of Yong'an was in a mess, which was not just embarrassing! If an official came out to take the blame for the mine theft in the future, he would definitely be him! Unexpectedly, he was soft-hearted and said a wrong sentence. In the future, the entire career and even his life would be lost. The magistrate of Yong'an became more and more afraid, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he finally let out a mouthful of blood!

Although all the officials had already expressed their position, the rabbit died and the fox was sad about his creatures. When he saw him vomiting blood, he stopped talking. Only the magistrate Youxi still sneered:

"Corrupt officials deserve the crime!"

The matter of mine thieves was settled like this. Li Yanzhi didn't have to think about how things would develop in the future: those mine thieves who had lost their protective umbrellas will turn from bullies who are arrogant and doomed overnight to fall into dogs and be beaten by others!

Li Yan didn't say a word at this meeting, and it wasn't his turn to speak, but it opened his eyes! He had heard of many dirty things in the officialdom in his previous life, but he was not in the system after all, and he had never heard of these things, but today he finally saw with his own eyes what the ups and downs of the officialdom meant and what the ups and downs of the officialdom meant!

When everyone walked out of the inner hall, all the guests who were not allowed to enter were whispering, and the mine thieves were even more confused and confused! Li Yanzhi glanced at Yu Santian's face and saw that he was approaching the magistrate Youxi to ask for information in a favor, but was shaken away by the magistrate Youxi.

The guests who attended the banquet had already left one after another, but the host Xu Jie had not appeared yet. Only the butler walked out and sang: "I'm sorry, I'll come and congratulate you. The host is ill and cannot come out to meet. Please come back."

The audience burst into a roar, and everyone was surprised. The Promoter held a banquet. He was not in trouble without seeing the food. What's the matter? But looking at the expressions of the officials who had just left, everyone guessed that something must have happened! Everyone was worried and uneasy. After just a roar, they said goodbye one after another and hurried back to inquire about the news.

Li Yanzhi walked out of the mansion, and Li Gang was already waiting for him outside and asked him: "Sanzai, what's going on? Why are these people like fleeing famine?"

Li Yanzhi chuckled softly and said, "Don't care about them." He said, "Let's go back soon. They are fleeing famine, but our family's crops are ready to be harvested."

"Crops?" Li Gang said in surprise: "Our family doesn't grow crops!"

"Some." Li Yan said straight: "I planted it." (To be continued)
