This is obviously not the first time Liu Yan has seen this rich man who is said to be paralyzed, spending his days in bed and dying at any time.
He wasn't surprised at all, still leaning his head and closing his eyes.
"It's also unlucky that he killed people in Huixian Tower." Mr. Gao continued, "There is nothing we can do."
"If there hadn't been a murder in Huixian Tower, this matter wouldn't have been such a big deal and it would have been settled long ago." Liu Yan said, he opened his eyes and sat up straight, looking at the rich man Gao, "In the end, Gao Xiaoliu is still the one protecting him.
We are from the same sect and take the Mo sect as our responsibility."
If he had directly reported the case to the police and arrested the person, there would not have been so many things later.
The rich man was silent for a moment, took the cup on the table and poured the remaining wine himself.
"Actually, Xiao Liu doesn't have to take Momen as his own responsibility. He has no choice." He said, looking at the wine glass in his hand, "As my son, he inherits his father's legacy. He has been taught like this by me since he was a child.
Even if the Mo clan is guilty and the Mo clan is extremely guilty, he cannot stand by and watch when he sees his fellow sect members. This has become his instinct."
Rich man Gao raised his glass to Liu Yan.
"Master Liu, we Jianghu people don't understand so many laws, but faith is engraved in our bones."
Liu Yan smiled sarcastically: "Faith is engraved in your bones? Have you forgotten the faith that Mo Sheng taught you to love all but not to attack? Follow the King of Sin to conspire against you, be unkind and unjust, and only use protecting your fellow disciples as your faith?
"
The rich man's face turned pale and he looked at the wine glass in his hand.
There was silence in the room.
"The leader is the only one at fault." Rich Man Gao said in a low voice, "Not all Mo disciples have abandoned the way of the sages. We were all kept in the dark and had no idea that the leader colluded with the King of Jin and that the deceased's body was destroyed.
I know that our sins are unforgivable for the living beings to be tarnished, but I am really not willing to let the name of Saint Mo be tarnished like this."
He looked at Liu Yan.
"Sir, your old friend, you should know what his ambition is. He is definitely not a person who brings disaster to the country and the people."
"Me?" Liu Yan changed his posture and sat with an indifferent expression, "I don't necessarily know, people will change, let alone knowing people and knowing their faces, but not knowing their hearts."
Then there was no way to talk about this topic. The rich man was a little embarrassed. This Liu Yan was indeed difficult to get along with. It was really lucky for such a person to be favored by the emperor.
Fortunately, Liu Yan took the initiative and said, "I'm here today to tell you some news."
For a high-ranking official like Liu Yan, the information he can get is very important.
The wealthy man sat upright and said, "Sir, please speak."
"Your Majesty has set his sights on Momen." Liu Yan said.
The rich man's expression changed slightly.
Although the Momen, as a follower of the King of Jin, was guilty of treason and unrighteousness, because the leader of the Momen and many of his followers died on the spot, and because they were just Jianghu sects, local governments carried out a purge of the Momen who were openly visible.
, the Momen dispersed, and the disciples hid, so the emperor did not keep a close eye on him.
How could the emperor treat the officials and families who had contacts with the King of Jin? The rich and wealthy people in the capital knew very well that they would dig deep into the ground to force you to cut off your descendants.
"Huo Lian has been informed." Liu Yan said.
And Huo Lian!
In fact, the king of Jin was very secretive at that time, and the prince was killed in his hands. With the help of the soldiers and horses of Liang Temple, it was not impossible to attack the capital and force the palace. However, Huo Lian happened to appear and killed Liang Temple and seized the soldiers and horses.
, ruining King Jin’s plan.
Huo Lian achieved great success and rose to great heights.
Over the years, Huo Lian and his men have been fierce dogs raised by the emperor. As long as the emperor raises his finger, he will never let go until he bites someone to death.
How could Momen withstand the emperor's gaze and pointing fingers?
"Is it because of Liu Xiucai's case that your Majesty reminds us?" Rich Man Gao said with a wry smile.
Of course he knew that he would be seen if he came alive, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"But this is not a bad thing." Liu Yan added, "Maybe it is also an opportunity."
The rich man looked at him.
Liu Yan said: "Your Majesty wants Momen's money."
Money, the rich man looked strange.
"Elder Gao knows how rich the Momen are." Liu Yan said, looking around, "Isn't Huixian Tower sitting on a mountain of gold and silver?"
"So." asked the rich man, "as long as we hand over the money."
Liu Yan looked at him and said, "It's better to hand it over than to be dug out by Huo Lian. Maybe it can save you and your son's lives."
The rich man looked hesitant.
Liu Yan said calmly: "What? You can't bear to part with this gold and silver mountain?"
"That's not true. I am in charge of money, and I don't keep it for myself." Su Rong, the wealthy man, said, and then said sadly, "Master Liu doesn't know that those in our Momen who can be selected as financial advisors are the ones who value money the most."
For those who have nothing.”
Liu Yan seemed not interested in the rules and people of Momen, and looked at him without saying anything.
The wealthy man continued: "If I could use money to exchange for the immunity of my family, let alone money, my son and I would still be smiling even if we died immediately."
The wealthy man took a slow sip of the wine he had been holding.
"Money has never been important. Carrying a crime and living an ignoble existence, what's the use of our Mo family having so much money?"
"only."
He looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan asked: "Just what?"
"It's just that in the Mo family, only the head can mobilize all the money." Gao Caizhu said.
Liu Yan chuckled: "So you need to have a leader first?"
"This is also to restrain the remaining members of the Momen to avoid causing greater chaos, otherwise the Momen's crimes will be even worse." Rich Man Gao said, bowing to Liu Yan, "Please help us buy more time."
Liu Yan was silent for a moment and said: "I will try my best, but if you take the opportunity to do something unjust, I will give you to Huo Lian."
The rich man leaned over and saluted: "Thank you, sir. Have a good rest."
After saying that, he picked up the plate and stood up and left.
Liu Yan looked at the candle in trance for a moment, raised his hand and extinguished it, and the room fell into darkness.
The rich man Gao was walking in the courtyard and looked back at Huixian Tower. The Huixian Tower was lit up all night during the New Year Festival, and the sky symbol at the top was darkly decorated.
"Master." Zhike came over from the side and asked in a low voice, "What is he talking about this time?"
The wealthy man smiled slightly: "Tell me some good news."
There was no trace of the panic I felt when I heard Liu Yan talking indoors.
Listening to the rich man Gao's story, Zhike couldn't hide the smile in his voice, and even bowed to the rich man: "The opportunity that I expected has finally come."
"Money is nothing to us. We give it all to His Majesty to show our sincerity." The rich man Gao said, and frowned slightly at this point, "But, the order of the giant."
The head of the clan passed away, and the Mo clan's most important order, the Ju Zi Ling, also disappeared at the same time.
Zhike said: "We have been tracing it. Even if we can't find it, we can mobilize money by electing a new leader. After all, if the leader fell into the fire, the Juzi Order should also be refined along with it. The rules can only be adapted accordingly."
The wealthy man nodded.
"Liu Yan has told us such important news." Zhike said, "It's really strange that he seems to dislike us and yet is willing to protect us."
"He is not protecting us, nor is he protecting our Mo family." Gao Caizhu said, "He just wants to protect a person's reputation and doesn't want that person to be convicted."
Five years ago, when he was on the run, he accidentally broke into the room where Liu Yan was staying at the post station. The thin-looking official recognized his identity as a Mo disciple at a glance, but hid him and said something.
"How did the Mohist disciple of the Mohist sect become so famous? It's really embarrassing. He is not like this."
The one he was referring to was a Mohist.
Liu Yan did have an old relationship with a Mohist disciple, but that Mohist disciple was not a wealthy man.
"I'm really curious, who is Liu Yan's old disciple?" Zhike couldn't help but say.
Liu Yan never revealed it, and he only said it once at that time, and never mentioned it again, as if this person had never existed.
"He should be dead already, and he died very young." Rich Man Gao said, "So he doesn't have to question whether that person is also a sinner, and that's why he cares so much about that person's posthumous name."
No matter which one it is, die well.
If he were alive, as Liu Yan said, people's hearts are fickle, and he would be suspicious of this person and not protect him like this at all.
"Let's not mention this." Gao Caizhu said, "Tell Xiao Liu in the next few days to issue a promotion order and choose the leader. There can be no further delay."
