After Liu Xia was arrested, Liu Tai was in panic all day long. Regardless of Yan Shifan's harsh reprimand, he went to Yan's house for discussion.
Yan Shifan was relatively calm. He knew that there were still several layers between him and others.
Even if he sent Yan Zhihu to take action, this was all Liu Xia's one-sided statement and there was no circumstantial evidence. Even Liu Tai did not see Yan Zhihu do this with his own eyes.
However, Liu Tai is one of the backbones of the Yan Party after all, and his role is no less important than that of Zhao Wenhua, so Yan Shifan still wants to keep him.
"Master Liu, there is no need to panic. You, the third-rank Zuo Shilang, just want to kill an old man of the same clan. I will never let the Jinyi Guards interrogate you.
My father had already made preparations in the court. As long as Xiao Feng dared to take action, he would be impeached by all officials immediately. He dared to execute Liu Xia, but he would never dare to execute you.
Since you don't dare to impose punishment, why are you afraid of him? Are your years of service as an official in the Ministry of Justice in vain? What can he find out?
Therefore, if Xiao Feng is smart enough, it would be enough to deal with Liu Xia to give himself and that little bitch some vent, and he would not insist on pulling a piece of land."
Looking at Yan Shifan's face, Liu Tai felt uncertain. After thinking for a long time, after all, it was about his own life, he still gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Brother Donglou, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the sad look on your face and what you said don't sound like you at all."
Yan Shifan glanced at him and said angrily: "There are so many important things in my hands, but this thing of yours is nothing! I am worried about another thing.
Do you still remember that Dr. Chen who sent stinky mandarin fish to every house every year?"
Liu Tai was stunned, why did the topic suddenly come to this matter? Your jumping thinking is so ridiculous. Could it be that you were beaten stupid by Xiao Feng?
"Remember, remember, isn't it Chen Yuezhuang, the household doctor? His stinky mandarin fish is truly outstanding, much better than those sold in the capital."
Yan Shifan stretched out: "Yesterday, Jin Yiwei came to arrest him, but he died suddenly at home. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat his stinky mandarin fish in the future."
Liu Tai felt a chill all over his body. He vaguely heard that Chen Yuezhuang was also a member of the Yan Party. Although his official position was not high, he had a close relationship.
At this time, Yan Shifan said this, one to express his trust in him, and the other to tell him, you have to resist, don't think about biting me to get off the pirate ship, otherwise I will have many ways to deal with you.
Liutai waited anxiously for two days, but no one came to see him. However, the capital issued a ban, and notices were posted directly on city walls everywhere.
"Today there are medicines named Jie Le Dan and Golden Mantra. Their properties are obscene and evil, causing sexual disorder in people, hindering their demeanor and damaging their lives.
This medicine is poisonous all over the world, and many wealthy people in the capital are buying and selling it. And behind this medicine, it is suspected that the White Lotus cult is working to make huge profits.
From the day the imperial decree is issued, this medicine is a banned medicine. Anyone who buys, sells, gives it away, or keeps it for private use will be punished for treason.
Those who have this medicine in their hands can destroy it themselves or turn it over to the court. Civilian officials who find traces of this medicine can report it to the judicial department for treason!"
Yan Shifan took the notice brought back by Yan Song, his hands were shaking and his face was livid. Seeing his son like this, Yan Song also sighed.
"Donglou, my father knows that you are doing this medicine business. The person you are cooperating with is not clear about his background. I think he has something to do with the White Lotus Sect.
Although you are just doing business, in the long run, this is also a huge hidden danger. Now this ban was approved by Long live himself!
Although Xiao Feng was involved in it, as a father, there was really no way to defend such a medicine.
Xiao Feng collected a lot of evidence this time. Many rich and powerful people in the capital used this thing. Xiao Feng had several portraits in his hand!
Take this opportunity to break it off and don’t have any contact with that person again. It’s just money. Is it true that my Yan family is short of money?"
Yan Shifan took a deep breath, calmed down, and nodded to his father sincerely.
"What my father taught me is that I know that, as my father said, I will never touch this drug business again."
Yan Song nodded with satisfaction, turned and left. Yan Shifan stared at the notice blankly, then suddenly started to tear it into pieces.
"Xiao Feng, do you think that with the emperor's support, you will be invincible?
Let me see if you can show your teeth at me when your master dies! I will make you a lost dog!"
Yan Shifan rang a bell, and a moment later, Rouge Leopard appeared in front of the door, looking at Yan Shifan seductively, causing a sharp pain in Yan Shifan's vital parts that had not yet subsided.
"You go to King Jing and tell him that I was beaten so hard by Xiao Feng that I couldn't get out of bed. I'm afraid I won't die soon. I want to see him."
King Jing was not at home, but in Xiao's mansion, sitting on the stone pier in the playground, watching Qiaoqiao eating steamed buns.
Qiaoqiao was full of praise: "This bun is delicious, much better than the ones I usually buy. Where did it come from?"
King Jing whispered: "I went to the palace to see my mother-in-law, and I gave it to my mother-in-law. She kept it for me. I remember that you like to eat steamed buns."
"Is this what you had left?"
King Jing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I haven't eaten yet."
Qiaoqiao looked at the box of steamed buns, only half of which was left in her hand, and felt a little embarrassed.
"How about I give you half of this to eat."
King Jing waved his hand grandly: "It's okay, I always have something to eat when I enter the palace, you eat, you eat!"
"Eat whatever you want, don't you know Qiaoqiao is working hard to lose weight?"
King Jing turned around and King Yu looked at him seriously, his eyes full of longing to beat him up.
"What's wrong with losing weight? How can you have strength if you don't eat? How can you exercise to lose weight if you don't have strength?"
After hearing what King Jing said so plausibly, King Yu became so angry that he put down the things in his hands, rolled up his sleeves and went straight to King Jing.
"You have no respect for your elders. I must teach you a lesson today!"
"Me too!"
"Stop everyone!"
Xiao Feng saw this troublesome scene as soon as he entered the door. He shouted, interrupting the two people's novice pecking each other.
"What's going on?"
King Yu, who had the moral high ground, quickly explained the situation first. King Jing knew that he was in the wrong and kept his head down without making a sound. Qiao Qiao had a bun stuffed in her mouth and kept her head down without making a sound, chewing secretly from time to time.
Xiao Feng looked helplessly at these two living treasures, and was about to praise King Yu when he suddenly noticed what he had just thrown on the ground.
"What is this?" m.
Prince Yu glanced at Xiao Feng with a guilty look: "Jade box."
"What's in it?"
King Yu unknowingly stood next to the two bow-heads, lowered his head in unison, and answered in a low voice.
"Baozi, long live this gift to my mother and concubine..."
"...Get out of here, everyone!"
King Jing returned to the mansion listlessly. The boy's poetic feelings had tormented him quite a lot these past few days.
From the first time he went to Xiao Mansion, he liked to play with Qiaoqiao. But he also knew that Prince Yu had known Qiaoqiao earlier. It was said that he had made countless fools of himself in front of Qiaoqiao and was even scolded by Qiaoqiao.
For example, the first time he had a fortune told, he was called a liar by Qiaoqiao; the first time he came to the door, he choked on his drink; and then, in front of Qiaoqiao, Xiao Feng slapped his face into the pig's head.
These were supposed to be embarrassing things, but every time King Yu mentioned them in front of King Jing, there was a strong flavor of Versailles, which made King Jing wish he could give him a sky-high cannon and beat him up.
This bastard, just because he was born a few days earlier than him, has to fight with him for everything! He fights for his father, for the throne, and now he even has to fight for Qiaoqiao!
King Jing was in a daze when the guards came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Leopard is here. She said that Yan Shaoqing was beaten by Master Xiao and couldn't get out of bed. I'm afraid she will die soon. She wants to see the prince."
King Jing suddenly stood up. Yan Shifan was kind to him when he was his master, and he didn't act like a pervert in front of him.
Although he was later deprived of his position as master because he framed King Yu, he still wanted to help King Jing, so King Jing had feelings for him.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty never allowed princes to make friends with ministers. Without the title of master, they could not communicate in private.
Xiao Feng is a special case because the master-disciple relationship between him and the two princes is Taoist and has nothing to do with the court.
After being with Xiao Feng for a long time, King Jing also understood some of Yan Shifan's abnormal behavior, but Xiao Feng was unwilling to say anything too restrictive to two children who had not yet grown up, let alone those speculations without evidence.
.
Because Xiao Feng wants to instill in these two princes a way of being a human being: don't be preconceived in everything, let alone be too emotional. Don't think that your personal impressions and preferences will lead to sin.
Maybe ordinary people can do this, but as a person with high authority, especially an emperor, if you want to be a good emperor, you must not do this.
This is why Xiao Feng restrained himself and did not use too drastic means to interfere with Jiajing and fight Yan Dang in a decisive battle to the death. Instead, he worked hard to collect evidence and drove Yan Dang to death step by step.
On the one hand, Jiajing and Yan Song have a deep relationship, and he really wants to fight to the death. If he doesn't win, he may never have a chance again. But what's more important is the other side.
Today you rely on the emperor to get rid of a bad guy without any evidence, and tomorrow someone will rely on the emperor to frame a good guy without any evidence.
It's cool to fight violence with violence, but in the end it will make people forget what justice is and what justice is, and completely turn the entire society into an animal world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong.
If it were already a troubled time at this time, Xiao Feng would do this without any scruples, but objectively speaking, the Jiajing Dynasty could not be considered a troubled time, although many of the senior brothers' actions were disappointing.
But senior brother can still be saved, and Daming can still be saved. These two princes are also the hope of the future.
Everything has two sides. Xiao Feng's efforts to protect the minds of the two underage princes inevitably made King Jing insufficiently aware of Yan Shifan's ugliness and darkness.
King Jing pondered for a while and felt that his master had beaten his former master. Although it was not necessarily an exaggeration to say that he was going to die or live, he, as a disciple and a former disciple, had the responsibility to visit him both emotionally and rationally.
King Jing took two guards and some valuable medicines to see his former master Yan Shifan.
When he saw Yan Shifan, King Jing was startled, thinking that although he would not die, the beating was indeed brutal enough. Two days had passed, and Yan Shifan was still fat and swollen, and he did not dare to close his legs.
As soon as he saw King Jing, Yan Shifan's emotions that had been brewing for a long time suddenly burst out.
"Your Highness, you are here. I thought I would never see you again..."
Seeing Yan Shifan crying sincerely, King Jing felt very sad. He sat in front of Yan Shifan's bed and comforted Yan Shifan.
"It's okay, Master said, you two are just fighting each other, the wounds are flesh and blood, I will bring you medicine..."
Yan Shifan stopped crying, waved his hand, and asked everyone to retreat outside. The two guards looked at King Jing, King Jing nodded, and they went out.
Yan Shifan took Prince Jing's hand and said, "Your Highness, do you still want to be the emperor?"
