Wang Yue was a little confused.

What's going on with the Li family?

Wang Yue took it and looked at it carefully. After reading the contents of the letter, he looked up at Lin Feng with a shocked expression. There are too many crimes involving the Li family.

Summarized, there are no less than forty or fifty items.

Wang Yue was surprised and said: "Brother Xian, how did you collect so much information about the Li family?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I am afraid that it will take me a year and a half to collect so much information alone. After all, a lot of information needs people who are familiar with Yongning County to know it. But with the help of others, it will be different."

"Because of my brother's support, all the businessmen are afraid of me. They fawn over me and apologize everywhere."

"I made a request and asked them to collect evidence about the Li family."

"For them, if they can stand by their elder brother and gain his favor, it's like burning incense and they will naturally go all out. So, I have this information I compiled."

Lin Feng said: "This information was collected by businessmen. I just said that if they did a good job, my brother might meet them, and they became excited."

A gleam flashed across Wang Yue's eyes, and he sighed: "Brother Xian is really awesome, and I admire you. To be honest, if I were at your age and had your skills, I would have become the next generation heir of the Wang family."

Lin Feng said: "Brother Zan Miao."

Wang Yue sighed and said, "However, even with these evidences, it is not easy to take down the Li family. Because directly dealing with the Li family is equivalent to directly going to war with the Li family."

"On the one hand, the Li family may cause trouble in Yongning County and affect me. On the other hand, the fighting here may also spread to Xianyang and affect the situation of the Li family and the Wang family in the court."

"For me, in order to weaken or even destroy the power of the Li family in Yongning County, it is best to weaken it little by little and not directly lift the table. It is precisely because of this that I am extremely embarrassed. I have never taken down the Li family. I have always been Constraints.”

Wang Yue also sighed.

He is in charge of the government and has many difficulties.

Lin Feng smiled softly and said: "Brother, the information I gave you is not to tear people apart. It is to let you use the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, and deal with the Li family bit by bit."

Wang Yue asked: "What do you mean, good brother?"

Lin Feng did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "Brother took Li Yu today, has he been interrogated?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "Not yet, I'm waiting for the Li family's attitude. Li Yu's father, Li Qian, even if he got news about Li Yu, has not come for the time being. I guess he is also waiting for my official's attitude. Now, look Who can't stand it first?"

After hearing this, Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said: "Brother, under the current situation, there is no need to delay any more time. You can directly interrogate Li Yu and force Li Qian to negotiate."

"Li Yu's situation and evidence of his crime are very clear. In addition, the evidence I just gave to my brother also includes the fact that Li Yu committed adultery. As long as my brother throws out these evidences at the interrogation, even if Li Yu does not plead guilty, he can still Put him in the cell first."

"Li Gan has got the news and must come. As long as Li Qian comes, you can throw out these evidences. Li Qian doesn't want his son to be killed or his foundation to be destroyed, so he will take the initiative to seek peace."

"Because he has no choice."

"As long as the Li family seeks peace, we will take this opportunity to cut off one of the Li family's arms."

Lin Feng talked eloquently and said: "Of course, if Li Qian can't stand it, it is also possible to come to visit directly without waiting for brother's interrogation. In any case, brother has the initiative when he has the evidence."

Wang Yue's blood boiled with excitement.

He has been unable to do anything to the Li family.

Now that Lin Feng is planning, the situation is different and there is a chance to break the situation.

Wang Yue looked at Lin Feng and even more praised: "My dear brother, you are worthy of being from the Lin family of Xia Kingdom. Once you take action, you are extraordinary. Originally, it was difficult for me to deal with the Li family, but you are as easy as a butcher undressing an ox." .”

Lin Feng said: "Brother Zan Miao."

Wang Yue said: "You said cutting off an arm of the Li family, what do you mean?"

Lin Feng explained: "The Li family in Yongning County, as a branch of the Li family in Xianyang, Qin Dynasty, I have carefully learned about the Li family's industry in Yongning County, and there are mainly three aspects."

"First, it is the medicinal material business. It controls many medicinal material industries and has many medicinal material lands and shops."

"The second is the papermaking industry. The Li family can make paper and open bookstores. Based on the Li family in Yongning County, there are many bookstores throughout the Qin Kingdom."

"The third is the grain business. The Li family has many granaries in Yongning County. Based on this, the Li family's grain industry is formed. Of course, in addition to these businesses of the Li family in Yongning County, there are also Li family's businesses in other places in Qin State. A lot of business for the family.”

"The so-called cutting off an arm is to let Li Qian release Li Yu in exchange for the Li family's medicinal material industry. In order to save himself and Li Yu's life, Li Qian could only do this."

"Especially Li Qian, he loves Li Yu so much that he cannot care about Li Yu's life."

"Once my brother took over the Li family's medicinal materials industry, these industries rushed into Yongning County and were regarded as Yongning County's industries, and taxes were paid at the same time. On the one hand, my brother arranged for the people to do things, and at the same time paid more taxes. This is a political achievement. "

"Dealing with the Li family must be carried out. However, it must also be converted into political achievements."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Lin Feng was very indifferent.

However, the entire plan was clearly explained in detail.

After Wang Yue heard this, his expression was solemn. He stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Xian brother is a great talent. If I can succeed in dealing with the Li family this time, it is all because of my brother's plan. He, brother Nian, is useful." It’s a place, just say it.”

It is true that Wang Yue hopes to live a free and unrestrained life. But he knew better that he was a member of a noble family and the son of Wang Tang, the head of the Wang family. He was destined to be unable to live freely on his own.

He must become an official and carry up the banner of the Wang family.

So, his political achievements in the local area and the Li family's resolution of the hostility between the Wang family and the Li family are his political achievements. Not only do you have political achievements in the court, but you also have to have merits in your family.

Lin Feng said: "You and I are brothers, so it's just an alienation."

Wang Yue sat down again and said: "Brother, Li Qian does treat Li Yu as a treasure. He hopes that Li Yu can return to his family and join the court as an official. He only took over the Li family's medicinal material industry and only weakened it. , how to plan for the future?”

Lin Feng said: "Next step, choose food or bookstores to start with, and make arrangements one by one to weaken the power of the Li family. This is cutting flesh with a blunt knife. Li Qian will not lift the table."

"In terms of papermaking, especially running bookstores, I have some rough ideas. Brother, don't worry, we will take it step by step. I will help you weaken the Li family, completely cut off the Li family's power in Yongning County, and destroy part of the Li family's power."

After offending the Li family, Lin Feng never thought of retreating.

Backing off will make people think you are weak and can be bullied. Only by seeking peace through struggle can we gain peace.

This is the eternal truth.

Wang Yue felt at ease and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to thank my dear brother."

After a pause, Wang Yue said: "Dear brother, if I have to say anything here, you must be avenged for the hatred of the Lin family, right?"

Lin Feng said: "I will avenge the hatred of my ancestors. I will overthrow the Xia Kingdom."

The Emperor of Xia's hatred for the Lin family was engraved in his bones, and this affected Lin Feng. And since Lin Feng is here and has inherited everything from his master, he will naturally take revenge.

This is cause and effect.

Wang Yue said: "My dear brother, if you want to overthrow the Xia Kingdom, the best way is to become an official in the Qin State and use the power of Qin. I, the Emperor of Great Qin, have been working hard to strengthen the country and forge ahead. As long as my dear brother serves as an official, there will be success." The opportunity to overthrow the Xia Kingdom. This is my only chance."

Lin Feng said: "Brother, all this is out of reach for now."

Lin Feng has his own plan.

The situation in Qin is not well understood, and he has no influence now. The ancestral prestige of the Lin family alone is not enough.

He wants revenge, and he also takes revenge step by step, taking steady action.

This is Lin Feng's plan.

When Wang Yue saw this, he stopped persuading and nodded. At this time, Wang Yue looked at Lin Feng with even more admiration. The brother he recognized was not lacking in talent, strategy, or means at all, and even all the planning was done step by step, which was really powerful.

Wang Yue didn't feel jealous at all.

The more powerful Lin Feng is, the better he thinks. Because it is great for the Wang family and himself.

"Boom! Boom!"

A knock on the door came from outside the room.

The butler's voice came and said, "Sir, the head of the Li family, Li Qian, wants to see you."

"I know, let him wait in the lobby."

Wang Yue gave an order.

The housekeeper turned and left. Wang Yue looked at Lin Feng and said excitedly: "Brother Xian, you really expected me. Li Qian couldn't bear it at first, so he came. With the evidence you gave me, I will negotiate with Li Qian next." Got sure."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Brother, go ahead. I'll wait for the good news."

Wang Yue nodded. He ordered his attendants to serve Lin Feng well, then left the study and went straight to the hall.
