Chapter 285: Draining from the Bottom

Wang's life was saved, but her eyes were crooked, her mouth was crooked, and her movements were laborious.

Wang was sleeping on the bed and said with a ferocious face, "It's... it's Man Niang... that bitch did it... arrest her and report her to the official..."

Shen Tang then asked belatedly, "Where is Lady Man?"

Shen Yu shook his head, how could he know this? He never talked to Man Niang.

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he searched the entire yard. His whole body instantly became decadent, "She took away all the money in the house."

I went out to ask the neighbors again and found out that the person left yesterday and probably couldn't be traced back.

The remaining money in the family was quickly depleted because of Zhang's medication, and Shen Tang felt like he had seen a ghost whenever he lost money.

Shengjing is a place where food and water cost money, and the family will soon be unable to support themselves.

Shen Tang said to Shen Yu resignedly, "I am going to take your mother back to Jiangnan."

The house in Jiangnan Town had been sold when they came to Beijing, and they had no choice but to go back to the countryside.

These years have been like a big dream, and when I wake up from the dream, I am back to the starting point.

Shen Yu, "I still have a salary, so I can support you and my mother."

Shen Tang shook his head, "If we go back to the countryside, we can still have a bowl of rice to eat."

"Yu'er, maybe we were wrong from the beginning."

It was Shen Xingwan who took them out of the countryside, settled down in the town and lived a good life, and sent Shen Yu to the best academy in Jiangnan.

But they stabbed Shen Xingwan in the back.

Now that everything is gone, this may be retribution.

Shen Tang quickly took the semi-paralyzed Zhang away. Shen Yu stayed alone in Beijing. He could not afford to rent a yard and could only live in a cheap and shabby small room.

The work in Hanlin was not going well either, and the Shen family had retired. But the connections that the Shen family had maintained for generations were still there, so it was easy to embarrass Shen Yuzai.

Shen Yu's whole person changed rapidly, and every drunk night he would think of the past.

He is a high-spirited and talented scholar from White Deer Academy, and he has a happy family.

That was his best time, but he was ordinary at the time and never cherished it.

You deserve to end up like this now!

——————————————

Three days before the Spring Festival, Qi Han finally showed up to summon them.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Yinqin said, "Please extend your hand?"

The three of them stretched out their hands, and Yinqin held the medicine bottle to seduce them. They could immediately see the worms bulging on their wrists.

Yinqin said, "My Lord, the Gu insects are still here."

Qi Han nodded with satisfaction, leaned on the chair and said, "At the Spring Festival in three days' time, Mo Beichen will attend the Nangong family's son-in-law together with his husband Jingze, and will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with King Min Nan."

Qi Han's cold eyes glanced at Mo Beichen's hand, "With your swordsmanship, you can take the opportunity to kill King Min Nan."

Mo Beichen said coldly, "Then I will become the enemy of the entire Minnan. Is this deal too unfair?"

"Don't ask me for money. I'm not interested in money. I will have to live under the pursuit of the Min family from now on. The price will be too high."

Qi Han probably didn't expect that Mo Beichen would retreat in the face of the battle.

Although he had other alternative plans and did not put all his treasure on Mo Beichen, Mo Beichen was also an important part of it.

Qi Han's eyes sternly said, "Young Master Mo is overly concerned. Things will change for Min Nan in the future. Of course I won't hold you accountable when Liyan comes to power."

Then he said to Jiang Shiyilang, "In the future, the situation in Minnan will depend on your planning."

Liyan didn't grow up in a normal environment. He didn't understand the ways of the world at all, and it would be difficult for him to handle a lot of things that would follow.

That's why Qi Han approached them. Jiang Shiyilang's methods and strategies were perfect for assisting Li Yan in managing Min Nan.

Shen Xingwan lowered his head to drink tea. At this point, Qi Han finally revealed his purpose in person.

Really ambitious.

Once Li Yan came to power, Min Nan was indirectly controlled by him.

When the time comes, Minnan will stir up chaos in Daqi, and Xiling will take the opportunity to attack from the northwest.

If you cooperate well, you can still kill Daqi with one blow, both inside and outside.

Now that they have reached this point, Mo Beichen reluctantly lets go, "I hope the regent will keep his word."

Qi Han said nonchalantly, "Xiling welcomes everyone. If it doesn't work, you can come to Xiling."

Qi Han was very cautious and would not notify them of specific actions until that day.

Back in the courtyard of Nangong's house, Shen Ruoyan was waiting for them, pointing to the Minnan map marked on the table, "This is the specific location of King Minnan's hidden troops. I have already led people to investigate clearly."

Qi Han wants to push Li Yan to the top, and Shen Xingwan wants to push Min Xijian to the top. The biggest variable is the private soldiers raised by King Min Nan in the mountains.

Jiang Shiyilang looked at the map carefully and said, "Since the regent seems so confident and keeps silent about these private soldiers, it means that they already have a solution."

If these 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers were subdued by his side, their chances of winning would be slim.

Mo Beichen frowned, "I don't know what means he used..."

Shen Xingwan took the map and looked at it carefully, and suddenly had an idea, "Then let these soldiers be completely eliminated and no one can use them."

Since it can't be used by them, it can't be used by Qi Han either.

Jiang Shiyilang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a good move, girl, to take the fire out of the cauldron."

Shen Xingwan pointed at the map, "Look."

Because these soldiers were raised in the mountains and trained in the wild, the food was transported in from outside, and the water that was indispensable every day was directly used from the mountains.

The three places where troops were stationed were all located in places with streams for the convenience of water.

The mountain water formed by the streams on the mountain was enough for the daily needs of these soldiers.

Jiang Shiyilang looked at where Shen Xingwan was pointing, "Are you going to start with their drinking water?"

Shen Xingwan nodded, "Let Chanyi mix some colorless and odorless medicine and put it into the water, so that the soldiers will be so weak that they can't fight within a few days."

Jiang Shiyilang waved his fan and said, "Good idea, since it can't be used by us, let's scrap this move first."

Once the overall situation is decided, then slowly deal with these soldiers.

Shen Xingwan said to Shen Ruoyan, "You go out to see Chanyi immediately. You must bring someone to drug the water on the day of the Spring Festival."

They will definitely use the stream water for breakfast by then, so they can take the opportunity to put down a piece of it.

Shen Ruoyan nodded, "I understand."

Jiang Shiyilang added, "The Spring Festival is coming soon. Let people keep an eye on them and take action in advance if there is any abnormality."

If these 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers were mixed in, they really wouldn't be able to influence the situation with just the few people on their side.

Shen Ruoyan took the order and left.

Shen Xingwan took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know what Qi Han's backup plan is."

In case Fu Jingchao fails, there must be remedial measures.

Mo Beichen said, "Maybe I'm the backup. I don't think my time to strike is the best."

He is just the son-in-law of the Nangong family, and Nangong Jingze may not have much respect in front of the King of Minnan.

Shen Xingwan sighed, "This Qi Han is really cunning."
