Cui Fanye had murderous thoughts in his heart because of Shi Jintang's words.
He didn't know whether Shi Jintang was really drunk and gibbering, or whether he was using the alcohol to express what was in his heart.
However, no matter which possibility it was, Shi Jintang had become dangerous and had reached the point where he had to take a step, so he turned around and signaled to his entourage. His entourage immediately understood and turned around and left.
But at this time, Cui Fanye looked at Shi Jintang's expression with heartache.
"Jin Tang."
Cui Fanye knelt down, looked into Shi Jintang's eyes and said, "How could you ruin yourself like this?"
Shi Jintang pushed Cui Fanye's hand away and said with drunken eyes, "Stop pretending to be in front of me."
Cui Fuye once again stretched out his hand to support Shi Jintang and said: "You and I have known each other for many years. I understand you. You are depressed and have no one else to talk to. You can only talk to me, so no matter what you say to me, I will not blame you."
You, if you don’t treat me as a friend, you won’t scold me.”
He sat down on the steps next to Shi Jintang: "In this chaotic world, you and I are each clear and clear. If I don't have you, I am lonely. If you don't have me, you will be lonely."
Shi Jintang said: "I believed what you said before, but now I will never believe it again. I have never mentioned those words to outsiders. I have only told you that besides you, who else can harm me?"
I."
Cui Fenye: "Jintang, don't worry. Even if I use all my connections, even if I have to beg my father, I will let you go back to the Ministry of Works to work."
Shi Jintang shook his head: "It's too late, it's too late. I already know who you are, so what's the point of you saying this anymore."
Cui Fanye: "I said that you are depressed now, and I won't care about you no matter what you say."
He looked at the pile of empty wine bottles next to him.
At this time, I was thinking whether Shi Jintang was really drunk or was he testing himself.
However, whether he was really drunk or testing him, it was enough to show that Shi Jintang was suspicious of him.
That day, Shi Jintang was drinking tea with Jun Buwei and did not invite Xumi Pianruo to the banquet.
It was Cui Fuye who had already bribed Shi Jintang's cronies and asked that person to meet Xumi Pianruo.
Therefore, the person who killed Yu Huannian was certainly not arranged by Shi Jintang, but him.
On the road that Xumi Pianruo must pass, he saw Yu Huannian being killed, and Xumi Pianruo went to see Shi Jintang again.
How could this not make people think of things and think it is too much of a coincidence?
Not to mention the killing of Yu Huanian, the two later arranged for people to beat Yu Huantong and Yu Huannian's brothers, both of whom were Cui Fanye's men.
The Yu brothers are not in his eyes at all, Shi Jintang is his obstacle.
Before Lin Ye entered Geling City, when he looked up at the city gate tower, Xumi Pianruo once had a conversation with Lin Ye.
Xumi Pianruo said that the general will be very busy when he arrives in Geling now. There will be many people who are willing to get close to the general. Of course, there are also many people who will regard the general as an obstacle.
Lin Ye said, I won't stay in Geling for a long time, who can be my obstacle?
Xumi Pianruo said, General, in this place of Geling, it doesn’t mean that you are an obstacle to whoever you threaten, even if you are just walking in front of others, you are already an obstacle to others.
Shi Jintang walked in front of Cui Fanye.
A man with a bad background walked in front of the eldest son of the Cui family. How could the eldest son of the Cui family really do his best to help him?
Cui Fanye came forward and invited Lin Mufu, the elder of the three dynasties, to meet him on behalf of Shi Jintang.
This is not a help, but a use.
He just wants to let Lin Mufu know that there is another force that wants to support Shi Jintang.
Lin Mu's Mansion was closely related to the Cui family. After he found out, he would naturally not let Shi Jintang go to high places.
If the position of governor of Yunzhou falls into the hands of the Cui family, the Lin Mu Mansion will also gain huge benefits.
The people of the Cui family certainly know that the people behind Shi Jintang are not that easy to deal with.
So drag Lin Mu Mansion into this puddle and let the people behind Lin Mu Mansion and Shi Jintang fight tit for tat. The Cui family will benefit from it.
Shi Jintang is just a pitiful guy, at least in Cui Fanye's eyes, Shi Jintang is a pitiful guy.
Use those two idiots from the Yu family to implicate Shi Jintang and remove the obstacles in front of you.
By the way, Yu Huantong, who also had some wishful thinking and wanted to be the governor of Yunzhou, was eliminated.
Then push out the higher-level people from Lin Mufu to deal with the higher-level people behind Shi Jintang.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Shi Jintang, a close friend, really took great pains to get rid of him and destroy him.
And up to now, it seems that many people are still sighing and admiring that people like Cui Fuye are true gentlemen.
In order to help his friends, he did his best.
At this moment, Shi Jintang seemed to have given up on himself completely.
He leaned on the steps, looked at Cui Fanye and said, "I have actually seen through you. You want to be the governor of Yunzhou, but you are not in a hurry to stand up."
"That's what you have to do, first see who will rush to stand up, and then you destroy them one by one."
"In the end, Your Majesty found that you were the only one who was most suitable, and your conspiracy succeeded."
Shi Jintang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Cui Fanye's collar: "I won't let you go. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken. I will go to see Lin Ye and let Lin Ye know what you have done."
He said with a tone full of grief and anger: "Even if I can't die with you, Lin Ye still has that weight after all."
Cui Fanye frowned.
"Jintang, your words really hurt me."
Cui Fanye's expression also became miserable and a little angry.
"I've been running around for you, but now you say I want to use you."
Cui Fanye took Shi Jintang's hand away, his face looking sad as if he was about to cry.
"The friendship between you and me will probably be over."
Cui Fanye stood up, looked down at Shi Jintang and said: "Since you don't believe me so much and have doubts in your heart, then you and I will never be able to go back to the way we were before. After today... we will all be well."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shi Jintang shouted loudly: "Just wait, I won't let you end well. I will sacrifice my life for your Cui family to see if it hurts you or me."
Cui Fanye strode out of Shi Jintang's house without looking back.
After going out, Cui Fanye got on the carriage. The moment he got into the car, the sadness and misery on his face disappeared instantly.
Only gloom remains.
Shi Jin Tang can no longer be kept and has no further use value.
However, it is indeed not difficult for the Cui family to get rid of people like Shi Jintang. They only made arrangements when he entered Shi Jintang's house and gave a signal to his men.
"Go without fear."
Cui Fanye gave an order, and the coachman whipped his horse whip and drove the carriage to Jun Buwei.
At the same time, in a private courtyard where Jun Buwei lived.
Lin Fangchu, Jun Buwei's boss, turned around and closed the door, then looked at the old man sitting in the guest seat.
"Brother Yu."
He spoke and returned to his seat.
After pouring a cup of tea for the old man, Lin Fangchu sighed feeling extremely helpless and troubled.
He looked at the old man: "Brother Yu, I know that I shouldn't bother you at this time. Please come to my place and leave after a happy New Year. You should take charge of the overall situation at home."
That old man was none other than Yu Huantong and Yu Huanian's father, and Yu Chan, the head of the Yu family.
Yu Song looked ten years older than a few days ago. His second son had just passed away and was killed in the street. For a father, you can imagine how heavy this blow was.
Lin Fang said: "Brother Yu, my condolences."
Yu Chan said: "My dear brother, if you have anything important to do, just tell me that I have to arrange everything in my family and I can't stay with you for a long time."
Lin Fang said: "This matter...I..."
Yu Chan said: "If you are in trouble, I won't force you, so I will take my leave."
As he was about to get up, Lin Fangchu got up first and grabbed Yu Chan.
Lin Fang said: "Although you and I didn't graduate from the academy in the same year, you are my elder brother, a few years ahead of me, but you and I became apprentices to my mentor in the same year."
He sat down and spoke in a serious tone.
"My mentor said back then that you had a stable mind and could become an official, but I had an impetuous temper and it was difficult for me to become an official."
"Later, my mentor recommended you to go to Lingzhou to be a government official, while I stayed in Geling to do business. I will always bear in mind my mentor's comments about me. I really don't know how to be an official."
He glanced at Yu Song and continued: "Over the years, with the care of my mentor, my business has been doing pretty well."
Yu Chan said: "If you don't tell me directly, then I really have to leave."
Lin Fang said: "Brother, please listen to me. My words are all from the bottom of my heart."
He continued: "Because of the care of my mentor, some people in Geling City are willing to come and sit here..."
"Whatever they say or do when they come here, I have always treated them with the sincerity of not being able to see or hear them."
"If it weren't for brother, something happened to your family, but if something happened to Huan Nian..., I wouldn't be able to tell anyone about what I heard here."
Yu Song's eyes suddenly widened and he stood up suddenly: "You mean, you know who killed Huan Nian?!"
Lin Fang nodded in embarrassment, then shook his head in confusion.
He pulled Yu Song and asked him to sit down before continuing: "I can't keep my brother in the dark, but my brother must not harm me."
Yu Chan said: "Don't worry, I won't harm you."
Lin Fangchu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yu Song and said, "On the day Huan Nian was killed, Shi Jintang met several people at my place, and those people left in a hurry after receiving his instructions."
"Shi Jintang?! It's him!"
Yu Chan's eyes were red.
Lin Fang said: "I don't know, I didn't hear what he ordered those people, but soon after, I heard that Huan Nian was killed."
He looked into Yu Song's eyes and said, "Not long after, the eldest son of the Cui family, Cui Fanye, came in a hurry."
"When he saw Shi Jintang, he angrily asked if Huan Nian's death was related to Shi Jintang. Shi Jintang denied it."
"The eldest son of the Cui family was here. He scolded him as an idiot many times in a loud voice. Many people heard him. He also told Shi Jintang to take care of himself."
Speaking of this, Lin Fangchu lowered his voice and said: "A while ago, Cui Fuye helped arrange it and invited Mr. Lin to come to my place for a meeting on behalf of Shi Jintang."
"It can be seen that there must be a lot of people behind this Shijintang."
He advised: "I just want my brother to know this, and I don't want him to deal with Shi Jintang. After all, I am just guessing. I shouldn't have said these words, and I feel ashamed of the care I gave my brother if I didn't say them.
....”
Yu Song stood up and said: "I have remembered your words, brother Xian, and I have also remembered your thoughts. Brother Xian, don't worry, I have never been here today, let alone seen you and heard what you said."
He clasped his fists and said, "Everyone in the family would like to thank my dear brother for his kindness."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Fang took a few steps after him and wanted to say something, but Yu Song did not slow down.
Lin Fang stopped chasing after him. Looking at Yu Song's back, he couldn't help but smile.
"What my mentor said at the beginning was actually that you are not suitable for being an official. I don't want to be an official because my mentor said... there is something that is much more comfortable than being an official. He asked me if I would like it."
Just as he was about to go back, his men came to report that the eldest son of the Cui family had arrived.
Lin Fangchu immediately put on a smile and hurriedly welcomed him out.
