In his previous life, he didn't even get along with a security section chief. Han Qing didn't think that if he traveled through time, his level of political power would improve by leaps and bounds. He could play around with a group of old bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones.
However, as a time traveler who has accumulated more than 1,100 years of knowledge out of thin air, he knows how to learn and summarize from past experiences far better than a person in the 11th century AD.
The experience of fighting with the Red Lotus Sect just taught him an idea for dealing with the old bastards. That is, the more things are in line with the other party's expectations and interests, the more the opposite must be done.
Under the current circumstances, it is obviously in the best interest and expectation of all parties to destroy Baima Village and then regard Liang Mancang as the mastermind of Zhang Wengong's assassination.
The court was satisfied, the officialdom of Jingdong East Road was relieved, and the local gentry who were afraid of being affected by this case could also breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Zhang Wengong and his family, the deceased will not crawl out of the grave and scold him for "making a fool of himself". Those who are still alive are more concerned about the court's pension and posthumous titles at this moment, and will not care about whether Liang Mancang is a good person or not.
Really murderous.
Therefore, no matter what, Han Qing would not immediately go to Baima Village and capture Liang Mancang.
Only by doing extraordinary things can he avoid being led by others.
Only by not following common sense can he, a newcomer in officialdom, have a chance to catch the old foxes around him off guard.
Facts have proven that his method is effective.
It was discovered that Judge Han, who had rubbed the face of the local wealthy Yan family on the ground as soon as he took office, turned a blind eye to the Chunyang Cult branch helmed under his nose, but suddenly closed the door to sort out the old cases. There were many cases on Jingdong East Road.
Officials and heads of local prominent families immediately started beating small drums in their hearts.
"Which one does this guy named Han want to play?"
"Even if he really has official support behind him, he can't just do whatever he wants. There must be a charter?"
"In sorting out the backlog, is this guy going to use his old trick on Yongxing Military Road again? Who is so stupid? You know that this is what he is best at, and you deliberately leave your tail for him to catch?!"
"This guy, if you want to investigate the Chunyang Sect, just check the Chunyang Sect. Why are you sorting out the backlog of prison cases? He really wants to be a master of Qingtian!"
"Is this guy determined to make enemies of all the officials on the road? Isn't he afraid of becoming the second Zhang Wengong?"
"Damn it, I thought I would let him solve Zhang Wengong's case as soon as possible, get promoted and get out as soon as possible to harm others. But this guy didn't fall for the trick!"
…
In the moment of fear and uneasiness, everyone's eyes instinctively focused on the Qingzhou Yan family. There was no other reason. No matter what other family members had done that violated laws and regulations, Han Qing might not be found out for a while.
As for the Yan family in Qingzhou, there are currently two evil servants with very important positions, who are imprisoned in the Punishment Department and the Crane Control Department respectively.
If the Yan family has no choice but to get them out as soon as possible or kill them quietly. The longer the two stay inside, the greater the possibility of betraying the Yan family.
Eight miles outside Qingzhou City, there is Yanjiazhuang, the ancestral home of the Yan family.
"What did Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou confess? Have the secret letters to them been sent in?" Yan Wenda, the former magistrate of Henan and the current head of the Yan clan in Qingzhou, sat on a high-backed chair, his face as sinking as water.
.
"Reporting back to my grandfather, according to Hu Siyu from the Criminal Division, as of last night, no one named Han had tried the second manager and Yan Wuyou. They had always been left to hang out in the cell shared by the Criminal Division and the Prosecution Department.
One of the doctors was sent to be recuperated, but the other one was ignored." Yan Xizhe, the second son of Yan Mansion, stepped forward and responded cautiously. The relationship between him and Yan Wenda was more like that of a superior and a subordinate than that of an ancestor or a grandson. (Note: Prison Chief
, an official under the Criminal Division responsible for the internal affairs of the prison.)
The other grandchildren of the Yan family, as well as the heads of each house in the family, all stood on both sides of the main hall without saying a word. Everyone's face was illuminated by candlelight.
The internal fights among wealthy families are not much worse than those in official circles.
At present, the eldest son Yan Xicheng has been ignored by the patriarch Yan Wenda because of his incompetence in doing things. It is natural that the second son Yan Xizhe takes the opportunity to work hard and perform well.
However, at this moment, no matter what others say, they are suspected of adding insult to injury and rushing to take sides. Therefore, the best choice is not to speak.
"Well!" Seeing the actions of several juniors and the leaders of each house, the old fox Yan Wenda gradually became angry. However, he did not make any reaction. He just groaned lowly, indicating that he heard Yan Xizhe
report.
"Hu Siyu also accepted the secret message for the two of them, but..." Second Young Master Yan Xizhe hesitated and continued to add. "However, Hu Siyu said that he could not guarantee that it would be delivered to the two of them."
"Why?" Yan Wenda raised his brows slightly, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
"The original cell leader was given a leave of absence, and now the cell leader has been replaced by a close confidant named Han. There are one shift during the day and one at night. There are only two people in the prison, the second supervisor and Yan Wuyou. Hu Si
The prisoner said that it would be difficult for him to find a chance to be alone with the two of them." Yan Xizhe was prepared and immediately gave the answer in a low voice.
The other sons and grandsons of the Yan family and the housekeepers of each house who were present looked at each other and still did not speak. However, everyone's face showed a bit of solemnity.
Being isolated from the family for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou will not have their own little plans in mind. However, these two people were highly trusted in the past and knew many internal secrets of the Yan family.
Although these secrets have nothing to do with the Chunyang Sect and are not related to the assassination of Zhang Wengong, they may not be in compliance with the laws of the Song Dynasty.
In the past, people did not hold officials accountable, and the Yan family was able to cover up these illegal things.
Now Han is determined to use the Yan family to establish his power. If these illegal things are confessed by Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou, the Yan family will survive the next step even if they rely on the legacy of their ancestors and their own strength.
Difficulties will inevitably lead to severe loss of vitality.
"Can you ask him to invite the two prison guards out for a meal? Can you prepare the food yourself?" Just as he was feeling uneasy, Yan Wenda, the ancestor of the Yan family, already had a countermeasure in mind and gave instructions in a low voice with a frown on his face.
"My grandson has already told Hu Siyu and promised him twenty coins." Yan Xizhe nodded and responded in a low voice again, "He said he would try to find an opportunity to bring one of the two prison guards out to eat flowers.
Let’s drink and arrange for our grandson to meet by chance at that time!”
"Then as soon as possible! Within 20,000 yuan, you can make your own decision. If it doesn't work, let Hu Siyu find a way to give each of Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou a bottle of Broken Heart Powder, and promise to pay a large sum of money to support their children.
!" Yan Wenda frowned, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
The lights suddenly brightened and then dimmed quickly. Many people present had their eyes hurt from the shaking, and their hearts felt cold.
Twenty thousand dollars is more than enough to bribe the county magistrate, let alone a prison chief who has just taken office.
The man surnamed Han is currently in the emperor's heart, and the Yan family cannot pressure him through normal channels to let him let Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou go. But they don't believe it, and all of his pawns are not like human beings.
20,000 yuan is enough for the prison boss to earn a thousand years. It is impossible not to buy a certain prison boss to leave for half an hour.
And half an hour was enough for Hu Siyu to personally deliver the secret letter and poison to Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou, and even kill them with his own hands.
"My child obeys your orders!" Unlike most people present, Yan Xizhe's voice was filled with joy.
As the second son of the direct branch of the Yan family, twenty thousand condoms can only be regarded as pocket money for him. However, the power to transfer twenty thousand condoms directly from the public account without asking for instructions is worth far more than twenty thousand condoms.
Hang the money itself!
This means that from now on, his cultivation value in the eyes of his grandfather has surpassed that of his brother Yan Xicheng.
From now on, the Yan family's connections and resources will continue to lean towards him. Until one day he accidentally makes a big mistake, or he has firmly established himself as the heir.
"Then go ahead and do it boldly! Even if it causes trouble, it is better than doing nothing." Yan Wenda glanced at his second grandson, with a hint of approval on his face.
Frankly speaking, he did not want his grandchildren to quarrel with each other. The Yan family is a scholarly family, and inheritance emphasizes the order of elders and younger ones.
The eldest grandson, Yan Xicheng, was born early, received the most support from the family head, and made the fastest academic progress. It was natural for him to stand up and support the family in the future.
As for the other grandchildren, since they were born a little later, it is natural that they should first become the right-hand man of the eldest grandson, and then go on to do things in each house. Only by the concerted efforts of the brothers can the whole family become more and more prosperous.
However, blindly paying attention to the order of elders and younger ones also has great disadvantages. Yan Xicheng, the eldest grandson who locked the position of heir prematurely, seriously lacked enthusiasm for doing things and lost his enterprising spirit prematurely.
Especially this time, even if Yan Xicheng was a little more serious, he would not make mistakes. But he blindly relied on family power and never thought about adapting to different opponents.
Therefore, although the intentions of his second grandson Yan Xizhe could be seen clearly at a glance, Yan Wenda still patiently gave him clear support.
Even in the end, Hu Siyuan and the prison chief did nothing at all and walked away with the Yan family's 20,000 yuan in exchange for nothing. As long as they can inspire the eldest grandson Yan Xicheng's ambition, the 20,000 yuan in exchange for money will not be wasted.
It's a pity that his grandchildren don't understand his painstaking efforts at all.
Before Yan Xizhe could take the order and leave, his third grandson Yan Xili couldn't wait to jump out, "Grandpa, my grandson has a few words that you don't know whether to say or not?"
"Oh, you say? You don't have to be afraid in front of your family!" Yan Wenda raised his brows again and nodded with a smile.
"My grandson believes that the current situation is unclear, and it is not appropriate to decide the life and death of Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou prematurely. It is even more inappropriate to continue to pass through the hands of Hu Siyu." After quickly organizing the word order, Yan Xili said loudly, "Otherwise, everything will happen.
If we fail, our Yan family will have more opportunities to be caught!"
"Then what should we do? Just wait for them to confess and tell Han Qing everything they know?!" It was obvious at a glance that Yan Xili was deliberately trying to drag him back. Yan Xizhe asked rudely without waiting for his grandfather to express his stance.
"Second brother, please don't rush to refute me. Please listen to me analyze it clearly from beginning to end!" Yan Xili was only seventeen years old, but he had no stage fright. He smiled and cupped his hand to Yan Xizhe and said softly.
"What do you know? If you were sensible, you wouldn't get into a fight in the academy and be sued by your teacher!" Yan Xizhe was not in the mood to listen to the nonsense of a half-year-old child. He took advantage of the other person's shortcomings and scolded him with a sneer.
"Second brother, you are the elder brother!" Sun Yan Xicheng, the direct branch eldest brother, finally found an opportunity and decisively joined the fighting group. "The third brother was bullied in the academy. We should seek justice for him instead of standing here and ridiculing him.
"
"Now you are thinking about seeking justice for him. At that time, the gentleman from the academy came to the door. Who asked the third child to apologize to the gentleman?" Yan Xizhe was attacked from both sides. He became angry and growled lowly at his brother.
Seeing that the three brothers were about to quarrel in public, the old fox Yan Wenda coughed decisively in a low voice, "Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough..."
The quarrel stopped suddenly, and Yan Xicheng, Yan Xizhe, and Yan Xili all looked at him, expecting him to make a fair decision.
"Let Xili finish speaking, Xizhe, as an elder brother, you should be able to tolerate others." Yan Wenda gave the three grandchildren a deep look and ordered in a deep voice.
At this moment, there was no anger on his face, but Yan Xicheng, Yan Xizhe and Yan Xili shuddered in their hearts at the same time, and then quickly moved back.
When the distance between them was again more than five steps, Yan Xili calmed down and spoke again, "Thank you, grandfather. My grandson didn't want to stop the second brother. My grandson just wanted to remind my grandfather that the man named Han,
He always doesn't do things according to common sense. It is obvious that the Liu brothers and sisters and Luo Huaisheng are currently being protected by his people, but he has not brought Yan Siren and Yan Wuyou to trial for a long time. I am afraid that he is waiting for our family to make mistakes while busy!"
"Hmm? Go on, why did you make such a mistake? Why did he have to wait?" Yan Wenda raised his brows again, and when he looked at his third grandson, his eyes instantly became a little more encouraging.
"If my grandfather just sent someone to deliver a letter to the two of them, it would certainly not be wrong. After all, the two of them have worked for our family for many years. Now that something has happened, it is unkind for the master's family to ignore it!" said Yan Xili's spirit.
Encouraged, he bowed his hands and responded, "Even if the man surnamed Han hands over the letters, as long as the contents are not too outrageous, he can't make an issue out of those two letters. And once our family decides that a strong man will cut off his wrists, I'm afraid it will play into his hands.
."
After a deliberate pause, he suddenly raised his voice, "Even if this is done, the man named Han will capture Hu Siyu, and then follow Hu Siyu's line all the way to our house. If Hu Siyu
Yan Si and Yan Wuyou will definitely be disheartened if they accidentally fail. By then, I'm afraid they will confess whatever Han asks them to do, and they will never remember the kindness of our family again!
"
"Hiss——" After the words fell, low breathing sounds were heard all around. The eyes of the managers in each room quickly looked at Yan Xili, as if they wanted to get to know him again.
"That makes sense!" Yan Wenda also looked at his third grandson with admiration. He clapped his hands on the table and nodded with a smile, "Han's delay in mentioning Shen Siren and Wuyou is probably just to make them give up on their master.
!”
"But!" Before Yan Sili had time to be humble, he added with a smile, "You saw the first one, but not the second one. My grandfather only asked your second brother to ask Hu Si Prison to bring the poison letter and poison to Siren and Wu.
Worry. As for whether to eat or not, the choice is up to the two of them when they can no longer endure the torture. If they eat, our Yan family will naturally not treat his wife and children badly. If the two of them are disheartened
If you bite back, our Yan family has always managed the family in an upright manner, and we are not afraid of them talking nonsense."
"This..." Yan Xili's little mind couldn't understand his grandfather's words at all. He widened his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
Smiling kindly at him, Yan Wenda continued: "You don't have to understand. Your ability to stand up and think about the family has already made my grandfather very happy. It just so happens that my grandfather has a letter here that needs to be sent to your father. You tomorrow morning,
Just go to Shaoxing yourself. You don’t have to worry about things at home anymore. Besides, you can withdraw ten thousand yuan from your account and spend it as you like. No matter where you spend it, your grandfather will not ask about it!"
"Thank you, grandpa! My grandson must deliver the letter to his father as soon as possible!" Yan Xili wanted this attention. He was immediately overjoyed and decisively accepted the order.
"Go down and have a rest! After you have regained your energy, you can set out tomorrow!" Yan Wenda smiled and waved to him, then turned his attention to his second grandson Yan Xizhe, "You should follow my previous instructions and bribe Hu Si
Prison, send the letter and poison to Siren and Wuyou. They are both good boys and know what to do."
"My grandson obeys!" Yan Xizhe didn't understand why his grandfather wanted to reward his third brother, but seeing that he had not suffered any losses, he bowed again.
"Go on, you have grown up, I am looking forward to you very much!" Yan Wenda smiled and waved to him, his eyes were slightly moist.
When the children grow up, they know how to plan for the family.
If we can't get through this hurdle before us, someone needs to stand up and sacrifice.
He was originally not sure who to choose, but now, he has the best candidate in mind.
"And you!" Watching Yan Xizhe leave, he sighed quietly. The old fox Yan Wenda slowly turned his gaze to his eldest grandson Yan Xicheng, who was a little overwhelmed. "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's go to your father-in-law's house, as well as Uncle Zhu and Uncle Yu.
, Uncle Zheng, please pay a visit. Although our Yan family has encountered some troubles, we must not forget the etiquette we should have, and we must not get into trouble!"
"Yes!" Yan Xicheng found that his position seemed to be still very strong, and he bowed happily.
"By the way, let me tell your father-in-law and several uncles that I will entertain them at home the day after tomorrow. It is almost the end of the year, and it is time for the accounting office to settle the dividends from the sea goods to each of them. Although they don't care about this, we
The Yan family cannot default." Yan Wenda nodded and continued to add, without any emotion in his voice. "In addition, the price of salt and rice in Qingzhou has not changed for three years. I need to discuss it with them. After the spring,
, what kind of charter should it be!”
"Yes!" Yan Xicheng bowed again and couldn't wait to agree.
