In the Imperial City of Anyi, the Ministry of Households is on duty.
Yan Wuji is handling government affairs. After all, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the money bag, which involves many aspects and many things. In particular, one of his most important tasks in the court was to collect money for Emperor Li Chong's Mansion and ensure the supply of materials needed for Li Chong's Mansion to practice Taoism.
For example, building a Taoist temple in the palace requires money and high-quality wood, which is very expensive.
For example, if there is elixir refining in the palace, the high-quality elixir furnace and the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir are also a huge expense. Even when Yan Wuji was supporting the emperor's prodigal family, he also had to provide for the operation of the court and pay salaries to officials.
It is not easy to come up with various expenses.
That's why Yan Wuji was so worried.
In the eyes of outsiders, they only see him as domineering and arrogant. They only see that he is just a minister of household affairs but has power over the government. In fact, he is also burdened with tremendous pressure. To be able to stay in this position forever is something that most people simply cannot do.
After dealing with it for a while, Yan Wuji felt a little tired and rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen and painful.
He suddenly thought about Lin Feng.
For a moment, the hatred in his heart burst out again.
He wants to kill Lin Feng.
He will never give up until he kills Lin Feng.
Even if Lin Feng died in the Xia Kingdom, the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Qi united because of Lin Feng would also fall apart.
This is the opportunity.
While Yan Wuji was thinking about it, there was a rush of footsteps, but it was Li Gan who came back.
Li Gan's face still looked a little frightened.
He was frightened.
When Li Gan saw Yan Wuji, he bowed and said, "Master of the family."
As soon as Yan Wuji saw Li Gan's expression, he knew something was wrong and asked, "What happened? Could it be that Murong Shanhai refused to enter the city?"
Li Gan said: "Reporting to the head of the family, Murong Shanhai is dead. All his disciples were killed."
"What?"
Yan Wuji stood up awkwardly.
There was a look of horror on his extremely well-maintained cheeks, and he quickly asked: "Who, who killed Murong Shanhai?"
Li Gan said: "Lin Feng killed him."
Yan Wuji said directly: "Exactly what is going on, please explain to me in detail."
Li Gan replied: "The specific situation is that when the villain arrived at Murong's house in Huxiao Mountain, he saw the bodies of Murong Shanhai and his disciples. Next to Murong Shanhai's body, there were six words written in blood: 'I Lin Feng is back. Then, the villain entered Murong's house to check, but everyone ran away and no one was left."
hiss! !
Yan Wuji took a breath.
His cheeks twitched slightly.
Lin Feng is back.
Moreover, as soon as Lin Feng came back, he first killed Murong Shanhai. This means that with Lin Feng's murderous nature, he, the culprit who destroyed the Lin family, will definitely not be let go. In other words, he was already in danger.
Yan Wuji suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.
Murong Shanhai is a master at the master level and is quite famous among the masters. With Murong Shanhai's strength, ordinary people couldn't kill him.
He was actually killed!
Yan Wuji looked at Li Gan and said in a deep voice: "Li Gan, are you sure it was Lin Feng who killed him? You know, Lin Feng was disabled in martial arts. Although he has recovered his martial arts, can he be a master at such an age? He can behead Kill Murong Shanhai?"
Li Gan said sternly: "Master, Murong Shanhai died because his sternum was directly crushed and his internal organs were shattered. Previously, news came back from Qi State that Lin Fengli fought against the masters of Qi State's Buddhism and defeated the master of Qi State's Daci'en Temple. Realm warrior monk. At that time, I didn't believe it because Lin Feng was too young. Now it seems that the situation should be true. "
Gudong!
Yan Wuji's heart sank even more.
The stronger Lin Feng is, the more dangerous he is.
Yan Wuji thought quickly in his mind and ordered: "Go and notify Zhang Jianzhi to come."
"Here!"
Li Gan turned around to make arrangements.
Yan Wuji sat alone in the check-in room, waiting quietly. After a short time, Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly entered, bowed and said: "Shang Shu Yan."
"sit!"
Yan Wuji gave an order.
Zhang Jian was always good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw Yan Wuji's expression, there was a hint of fear and uneasiness. He was also so uneasy in his heart that he quickly asked: "Shang Shu Yan, what happened?"
Yan Wuji said seriously: "After you and I discussed Lin Feng's matter, I arranged for Li Gan to leave the city and go to Huxiao Mountain to invite Murong Shanhai into the city. He would sit in my house and wait for Lin Feng to seek revenge and take the opportunity to kill him. Kill Lin Feng."
"Unexpectedly, when Li Gan arrived at Huxiao Mountain, he saw corpses all over the ground, as well as the corpse of Murong Shanhai. Murong Shanhai was beaten to death, and beside his corpse, there were six words saying 'I, Lin Feng, am back' A word written in blood. Zhang Shangshu, the situation is very bad."
Zhang Jianzhi also trembled.
There was a look of panic in his eyes.
The situation is too bad.
Zhang Jianzhi murmured: "Previously, the news came back from Qi State that Lin Feng was very powerful in martial arts and could kill masters at the master level. Now it seems that the news is true. Under the current situation, Lin Feng is very dangerous and is becoming increasingly disadvantageous to us. "
Yan Wuji said: "That's the truth. We must find a way to solve this problem now."
Zhang Jianzhi thought carefully and suddenly said: "I have a way."
"any solution?"
Yan Wuji quickly asked.
There was also a look of expectation in his eyes.
Lin Feng was able to kill Murong Shanhai, and his strength was extremely powerful, even difficult to deal with. If Yan Wuji is in the imperial city, there is no need to worry. Not only are there a large army in the imperial city, but the royal family also has great master-level enshrinements. Lin Feng does not dare to come to the imperial city.
The problem is that the Yan family does not have a great master, which is very dangerous.
Zhang Jianzhi said in a deep voice: "Does Shangshu Yan still remember Cui Yuantu?"
Yan Wuji frowned slightly and said, "Are you talking about Cui Yuantu, the chief clerk of Lin Feng's father, Lin Yuanzhong, in the past?"
"right!"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded in reply and said: "Cui Yuantu is Lin Yuanzhong's chief secretary, and he is also Lin Yuanzhong's military advisor. When the Lin family was accused, in order to kill all the Lin family members, we also found a reason for Cui Yuantu to make He was made a slave and thrown into the Xishan iron mines to mine."
"Cui Yuantu is in Xishan, Lin Feng will definitely find out the news. In fact, Lin Feng is very likely to go to rescue Cui Yuantu, so that Cui Yuantu will not be in despair. So at the moment, we only need to be here with Cui Yuantu, Just arrange for someone to keep an eye on it."
"Once Lin Feng arrives, we will mobilize the garrison in the mine to surround and kill him."
"Although Lin Feng is a master, he will definitely be defeated when faced with the encirclement and attack by the army in the mine."
Zhang Jianzhi said: "This is an opportunity."
Yan Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "This is a good suggestion. We will take this opportunity to kill Lin Feng in one battle. During this period of time, I will be on duty at the Household Department in this palace. Let’s see what he can do to me.”
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Shang Shu Yingming, I also plan to do the same and not go out for the time being. To kill Lin Feng, we only need to arrange for the captain of the Xishan Iron Mine to keep an eye on Cui Yuantu, and the matter will naturally be simple. "
Yan Wuji said: "You can arrange for someone to deliver the message."
"Here!"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded in reply.
He turned around and was about to leave to make arrangements, but just as he reached the door, Yan Wuji's voice came from behind: "Wait a minute."
Zhang Jianzhi turned around and said, "Does Shangshu Yan have any other instructions?"
Yan Wuji said: "The general in charge of the Xishan Iron Mine is named Jiang Dushan. This man is quite unruly. He cannot be suppressed by ordinary people's orders and cannot be made to obey them. I have arranged for Li Gan to send a message about this matter. , only by going on behalf of the officer can we be stable and avoid any problems."
Zhang Jian said: "Yan Shangshu is wise."
Zhang Jianzhi left.
Yan Wuji called Li Gan again and ordered Li Gan to go to the Xishan Iron Mine ten miles west of Anyi.
Li Gan rode all the way and arrived at the Xishan Iron Mine near dusk. A huge iron mine, with iron ore areas stretching for several miles. In the iron mine, you can see slaves carrying ore, mining, and soldiers supervising everywhere.
There are three thousand elite troops stationed in the Xishan Iron Mine area, specifically responsible for maintaining order.
The general in charge is Jiang Dushan.
When Li Gan came to the mine and explained his purpose to the soldiers, he was led into the mine by the soldiers and came to the Chinese army's tent in Jiangdu Mountain.
Li Gan cupped his fists and said, "Li Gan, I would like to pay my respects to Captain Jiang."
Jiang Dushan, who served as the captain of Fenwei School, was nearly forty years old. He was also a general on the battlefield and made meritorious deeds. It's a pity that he is upright and not good at sociability, so he was sent to Xishan Iron Mine to guard the prisoners in the mine and be responsible for mining at the same time.
Jiang Dushan said, "You came here on Yan Wuji's order. What's the matter?"
Li Gan quickly said: "Shang Shu Yan sent an order that the traitor Lin Feng entered the Anyi territory of Xia State from Qi State and even killed Murong Shanhaimanmen, the master of Huxiao Mountain. Lin Feng most likely sneaked into the Xishan Iron Mine and came to take Cui away. Yuantu. You arrange the soldiers in the army to keep an eye on Cui Yuantu. Once Lin Feng comes, immediately mobilize troops to surround and kill him."
"knew."
Jiang Dushan waved his hand impatiently.
Li Gan didn't stay any longer, turned around and left in a hurry.
Jiang Dushan murmured the word "Lin Feng", stood up and left the Chinese army's tent, heading to the tent not far away.
In the tent, there was a middle-aged man in his early forties sitting. He has a thin figure, his temples have already been stained by wind and frost, and he has three long beards under his chin. His appearance is soft and elegant, giving people a sense of elegance. He just sat like this, giving people a sense of elegance, tranquility and nature.
This is Cui Yuantu.
He was Lin Yuanzhong's chief secretary and military advisor in the past.
Jiang Dushan stood still after entering, bowed respectfully before sitting down, and said slowly: "Sir, Yan Wuji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, sent a confidant to deliver an order, saying that Mr. Lin is back, and as soon as he returns to Anyi, he will kill him. Murong Shanhai who killed Tiger Roaring Mountain."
Cui Yuantu was a little surprised, but he chuckled and said: "Well done, well done! I didn't expect that the young master actually killed Murong Shanhai. This man will change after all. He has to endure hardships." .”
Jiang Dushan said: "Li dare to say that Mr. Lin is very likely to come to the Xishan Iron Mine and take Mr. Lin away. Let me arrange for people to keep an eye on him. Once Mr. Lin comes, he will lead his troops to capture Lin Feng and kill him. Sir, Lin The young master is here, are you leaving with him?"
Cui Yuantu's eyes were deep. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if I left? Look at me, I was originally thrown into the mine as a slave and had to mine all day long, in order to grind me to death." . But you serve me delicious food and drinks, just like serving an uncle all day long, don’t you feel tired?”
Jiang Dushan shook his head quickly and said: "Who doesn't know that in the past, Mr. Lin helped General Lin with his plans and was also a man of great splendor. Although I was young back then, I admired General Lin, but it was a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to work under General Lin."
"As for me, I was thrown into the Xishan Iron Mine because I don't like to be gregarious and I don't like to flatter people."
"Actually, marginalized."
"Even the people above wanted me to do bad things at Xishan Iron Mine and then hold me accountable."
"Because I have a gentleman in the Xishan Iron Mine who taught me how to mine, changed the mining transportation route, and guided us on how to screen the ore? That's why we are now more relaxed and at Xishan Iron Mine, and everything is running in an orderly manner."
"All this is due to sir."
"If it hadn't been for Mr., I'm afraid that I, the person in charge of mining, would have been arrested long ago and I wouldn't have been able to live a clean life in the Xishan Iron Mine. I here wish that Mr. would stay. But I know that Mr. is like a god. Characters should not stay in Xishan Iron Mine forever."
Jiang Dushan said solemnly: "So, I still hope that sir will leave."
Cui Yuantu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I may not leave. Everything depends on the young master's decision after meeting him."
Jiang Dushan said: "I will keep an eye on it."
Cui Yuantu nodded, and Jiang Dushan turned around and left.
Cui Yuan Tuku sat in the tent, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, and murmured: "Young Master, what will you do when you come back? I'll wait and see."
