Yan Qi smiled: "I want to send Tong Shuling off again. I also want to chat with Tong Shuling about daily life and gain insights."
Tong Jian was very happy: "Master Yan, please."
Yan Qi sent each other off all the way, fifty miles away, to a place at the foot of a mountain.
Tong Jian looked at the sun and said, "Mr. Yan, after a journey of fifty miles, there will always be a time when you feel like saying goodbye. Thank you, Mr. Yan, for treating me as a friend. Let's say goodbye."
Yan Qi nodded: "Okay, let's say goodbye here. However, when we say goodbye, there is another person who wants to say goodbye to Tong Shuling."
Tong Jian was confused: "Is there anyone who wants to say goodbye to me? We have gone fifty miles, do we still have to go back?"
Yan Qi smiled and pointed at the sedan: "The man is already here and is inside the sedan."
"ah?"
Tong Jian stared at the sedan and asked, "Who is sending me off?"
"Tong Shuling."
A familiar voice came from the sedan.
One person opened the sedan chair and offered his hand to Tong Jian with a smile.
"It's actually Mr. Peng?"
Tong Jian was shocked. His mouth seemed to be stuffed with eggs and he was speechless. He waited for a long time before he hesitated and said: "This...this...Master Peng, Master Peng, aren't you seriously ill and bedridden?" ? How...how could this happen..."
Peng Ran sighed: "Tong Shuling, it's hard to tell the truth. I have no choice but to pretend to be sick. The things here are complicated and related to people's livelihood, court taxes, and Suzhou's economy. I have to act with caution."
"this……"
Tong Jian was in a daze, and it took him a long time to regain his composure. He suddenly realized that during his trip to Suzhou, he was like an ignorant child who was being deceived.
He sighed: "What on earth is going on?"
Yan Qi explained: "Tong Shuling, you should also understand that the dispute between Jie Sanjia and Mr. Peng is, at best, related to party struggle, but at worst, it is related to the people's livelihood in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the next few decades. If one doesn't get it right, it will cause big trouble."
"Tong Shuling, you must have seen that Jie Sanjia colluded with profiteers and acted recklessly. How arrogant was he? First, he was greedy for power. Second, he formed a party for personal gain. Third, he used public funds for personal use. Fourth, he revolted when he saw sex. With this Shitiao, is he worthy of Suzhou weaving?"
Tong Jian remained silent, acquiescing.
Yan Qidao: "Tong Shuling is neither a member of Yushi An nor a vanguard of Prime Minister Yang. You chose to be neutral and protect yourself wisely. Therefore, Master Peng and I made a good deal with Prime Minister Yang in order to get you to return to your life, and then we acted together. A play. For what? Or just to avoid causing trouble to you."
Tong Jian nodded: "I'm not a confused person. I can guess a thing or two about what you are thinking about me."
Yan Qi said again: "But, I regard you as a friend. How can I deceive you when I treat a friend? Therefore, I specially brought Mr. Peng and sent him far away so that Tong Shuling could find out everything."
Tong Jian looked at Yan Qi and sighed with emotion: "Master Yan, if you don't reveal the secret, I will go back and recover. However, you took the risk and unveiled this mysterious veil. It seems that you sincerely regard me as a human being." Friends, I feel very relieved."
Yan Qidao: "It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not, as long as you don't think of me as a heinous liar."
Tong Jian shook his head: "You are not a big liar. You are a wise man who cares about people's livelihood. I admire you."
Seeing the lively Peng Ran, Tong Jian's mood improved a lot and he was no longer as sad as yesterday.
After all, he is not a bad person, he just protects himself wisely. How can he be happy when he sees Peng Ran working hard for the people all his life and dying at the hands of evil people in the end?
Peng Ran saw that Tong Jian was not only not angry, but was very pleased and relieved, and had to admire Yan Qi's courage.
To tell Tong Jian everything honestly, he would never have dared to do it without Yan Qi's full approval, and Zhou Zhixing was even more afraid.
This undoubtedly stretched his neck and allowed Tong Jian to cut it off with a single blow.
However, Yan Qi did this.
Great gain.
The advantage of doing this is to gain Tong Jian's trust.
Later, in the study room, I had a real friend.
This is stronger than anything else.
Tong Jian's mood suddenly brightened, he got on his horse and offered his hand to Yan Qi: "Thanks to Mr. Yan's trust, Tong Jian will keep it in mind. When I go back this time, I will still be as alive as before. Mr. Yan, just don't worry."
Yan Qi laughed: "Of course I'm relieved."
"Master Yan, I will definitely entertain you well when we meet again in the capital someday."
"Tong Shuling, please go slowly for now."
"Master Yan, what else can you do?"
Yan Qi took Tong Jian's reins and asked with a smile: "Tong Shuling, which faction do you belong to?"
Tong Jian spoke righteously: "I am impartial and fair at heart. How can I be divided into factions?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "This is wrong."
Tong Jian was curious: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qidao: "You have a faction, but you just turn a blind eye to it."
Tong Jian got off his horse and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Yan Qidao: "Fairness and justice are about governing the country according to the law, persuading people with virtue, preaching with benevolence, and treating people with courtesy. Am I right?"
Tong Jian nodded: "That's what I mean."
Yan Qidao: "In that case, aren't you a faction loyal to Sheji?"
"Loyal to the country?"
Tong Jian suddenly realized and got on his horse: "Young master Yan is right. I am indeed loyal to the country, but does this still mean there are factions?"
"certainly!"
Yan Qi nodded: "In this world, there are those who are loyal to the country, and there are those who disturb the country. Those who disturb the country are cancerous tumors that must be eliminated; those who are loyal to the country, although they have their own hidden agendas and thoughts, but their thoughts are the same. The same, although the methods are different, they lead to the same destination by different paths! Tong Shuling, do you understand what I say?"
Hearing the words, Tong Jian looked up at the sky. After thinking for a long time, he turned over and dismounted, bowing to Yan Qi: "Hearing Master Yan's words, he suddenly realized what he said. Master Yan, please come back. I already know what to do. Farewell!" "
Yan Qi waved to Tong Jian.
Tong Jian ran away.
Yan Qi's words awakened him.
In other words, as long as it is for the country and the country, no matter what the faction is, it will always be the same.
Who is for Jiangshan Sheji? Who disrupts the country?
As an outsider, he knows everything.
Prime Minister Yang?
An Yushi?
How to choose, Tong Jian has found the answer.
However, there is still one doubt. If Yan Qi doesn't ask clearly, it will feel like a lump in his throat and he will feel extremely uncomfortable.
He turned his horse's head and caught up with Yan Qi.
"Master Yan!"
Yan Qi frowned: "Why did Tong Shuling come back? Are you walking the horse's legs?"
"There's one thing that I won't be happy about until I vomit."
"Tong Shuling just said it doesn't matter."
Tong Jian asked Ai Ai: "Master Peng pretended to be ill. How could he be so fake that I couldn't even find any clues? This is really unbelievable."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "This is the art of disguise."
"ah?"
Tong Jian was surprised and stunned: "Master Yan is really a strange person."
The adoring look in her eyes was like that of a young daughter-in-law who was conquered by her husband in bed.
