In Yizhou City, Jiannan Road, in the study of the interviewer at Yizhou Jiedu Mansion, Xianyu Zhongtong, the current head of the prominent Xianyu family in Jiannan, was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at a peach that had just sprouted in front of him. The tree turned its back to the person behind it and asked: "Dong'er, is everything you said just now true?"
Standing respectfully behind him was the second young master of the Xianyu family, and the future head of the family, Xianyu Fudong. He opened his mouth and replied: "Father, everything the child said just now is true, otherwise the child would not be here." I will come and disturb my father when he is busy with official duties."
After hearing his son's confirmation, Xianyu Zhongtong not only did not show a happy expression, but frowned and showed a somewhat sad expression. Just now, Xianyu Fudong told him everything about Ye Sanlang, most of which confirmed his judgment, but at the same time there are many problems.
The Ye family rose from Jiannan even before the Xianyu family. The Xianyu family only rose after the previous generations of family heads came second in high school. They had been serving as officials in Jiannan and were good at doing business. Finally, in the past few decades, they finally Slowly rising to become one of the several major families in Jiannan. The rise of the Ye family can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago. The Ye family was originally from Yizhou, Jiannan. Their ancestors were good at treating people. Later, Baiyetang was established. After years of development, Baiyetang has developed in Jiannan. With considerable power, it can be said that there will be branches of Baiyetang in prefectures and counties above Zhongxian County, and the income is also considerable. The most important thing is that because of the ancestral precepts passed down from our ancestors, Baiyetang has always insisted on providing services to the poor. The principle of not charging a penny for medical treatment has a very good reputation among the people and local officials. Later, relying on this kind of connections and financial resources, the Ye family finally began to take root in Jiannan, and its power also grew. It can almost be said that it is the largest family in Jiannan. Although the Ye family has declined somewhat due to the dispute between the family heads twenty-six years ago, its power still makes Xianyu Zhongtong a little afraid.
Everything that Dong'er said just now confirmed his previous judgment, and it was also a fact that he was not willing to accept. Because if all this is true, then his ego will never allow the Ye family to continue to exist. As the head of the family for more than ten years, although he vaguely feels that something is wrong with the Ye family in recent years, he cannot tell what is wrong. wrong. As for the sudden increase in the Ye family's financial resources, he just thought it was because the Ye family had some underground business that he didn't know about. He didn't expect that it would be so serious. That was a serious crime that would require the whole family to be executed. He did not expect that Ye Tianfang would be so heartbroken and crazy that he would dare to do such a thing.
Although I don't know the emperor's opinion on this matter, judging from the fact that Ye Dingtian was detained in Dali Temple after being escorted from Jiangnan to Chang'an by Bai Lingfeng but was not interrogated at all, the emperor is most likely waiting for information from Jiannan. If the Ye family collapses suddenly, Ye Dingtian may also be beheaded at that time. In other words, it is impossible for the emperor not to know about this series of behaviors of Ye Sanlang, but he should have a tacit attitude towards these things.
Although it has been difficult to predict the emperor's heart since ancient times, Xianyu Zhongtong at this moment can somewhat guess Li Longji's psychology. With the help of Ye Sanlang, he can get rid of this serious problem of the Ye family without wasting any effort. At the same time, he also wants to test what Ye Sanlang has. How much ability.
His biggest worry now comes not from anyone else, but from Li Longji. He knows that Li Longji has always been afraid of those heroes. Has he killed many heroes over the years? Nowadays, Ye Sanlang's reputation in various parts of the Tang Dynasty has soared, and even all the three religions and sects are willing to submit to him. How can Li Longji tolerate such a person? However, he actually promoted Sanlang to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. He didn't know what his intention was, but he believed that when Sanlang lost his role in the future, the emperor would definitely find an excuse to kill him.
"Alas, the nephew Qiong Yu left behind really doesn't give me any peace of mind." Xianyu Zhongtong sighed lightly.
"Father was joking. Nowadays, Sanlang's reputation is extremely high in all parts of the Tang Dynasty. Even all the Jianghu sects and sects have surrendered to him. And now he is only nineteen years old. It can be said that his official career is just at the beginning. He may still be able to do it in the future. He will be the second Li Linfu."
"Humph, what do you know? Li Linfu's current status is purely because he can cater to the emperor's wishes, and he is just a complete flatterer. But do you think Sanlang's personality will be like Li Linfu's? You don't understand the emperor's heart. The more prominent a guy is, the more likely he is to end badly in the future." He paused and continued: "However, it is indeed necessary to eradicate the Ye family. Although it is not made public on the surface, But secretly, you should use all your family's strength to help Sanlang, but you can't reveal any flaws for the Ye family to catch. Ye Tianfang and his remaining sons are not easy to save money. Since I originally If you can guess that Saburo may have really come to Yizhou, then he can also guess what to do, do you understand?"
Xianyu Fudong smiled and replied: "Haier understands that from tomorrow onwards, Boyer will also start going to the mansion of Yi Governor Shi Zhouhao every day to ask for an audience with Li Xiangguo's second son."
"Okay, if you understand what I just said so quickly, you don't blame me for passing on the position of the head of the family to you. It's a pity that although your two sisters are talented, they are women after all and cannot inherit the position of the head of the family. I hope you take care of yourself."
Xianyu Fudong nodded and replied: "Haier, I'll take note of it. If my father doesn't have any other important things to tell me, I'll just step back and make some preparations."
"Wait a minute, your uncle is not in good health recently, you should go visit him."
"Kid, remember, I will go to my uncle's house to visit his old man."
After Xianyu Fudong finished speaking, he exited his study. Xianyu Zhongtong never looked back from the beginning to the end. What he was thinking about at this moment was not the intrigues in the officialdom, nor the grand plan of Ye Sanlang that Xianyu Fudong mentioned a moment ago. But his brother Xianyu Feifan.
I didn’t know the reason at the time, but his eldest brother Xianyu Feifan was born with an unknown disease, which caused his legs to be paralyzed. He could only spend his whole life in a wheelchair. Even for so many years, he refused to marry despite the opinions of his family. His wife gave birth to a son, so his father, as the head of the family of the previous generation, had no choice but to break the general decision of family heads to pass on the eldest son, and passed on the position of head of the family to him. Instead of being unhappy about this, his brother was very happy. Thinking about how much his brother loved him when he was young, he didn't know when he felt a lot of guilt towards his brother.
Now that Jiannan is about to be turbulent, I wonder how far the Xianyu family's status can be improved if everything goes well and the Ye family is eradicated. However, many years later, I wonder if the Xianyu family will become the second Ye family in the eyes of the emperor. ;
