"The Nan family chose this time to make a move on you because they want you to be their scapegoat. Regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, you are the most suspicious person. If you want to clear your name, the only way is to help Lord Liu … Lord Liu. You don't need to do anything, but you don't need to do anything wrong. "
Yan Lin asked Yang Tao to help Jiang Pengji cover up the lie to clear his partner's name.
Besides, Jiang Pengji was also aware of their every move.
She knew better than anyone else what those old officials with ulterior motives had said and done to Yang Tao.
Yan Lin asked Yang Tao to do this because he wanted to prove his innocence.
There were too many twists and turns. Yang Tao didn't need to understand. He just needed to do what he was told. Yan Lin would take care of the rest for him.
Yang Tao secretly bid farewell to his former minister, worry written all over his face.
He said, "I don't know how many spies I have around me. Why do they have to come after me?"
Yan Lin said, "People in troubled times have no choice. Zhengze doesn't want to get involved, but you can't avoid these things just because you don't want to. "
There would always be something that would force people, whether they were forced or willing, to walk on this thorny single-log bridge.
It could be morality, ideals, protection, desire, power …
Yang Tao did it to protect his family. What about Jiang Pengji?
"Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."
Yang Tao was confused. "What did you say?"
"There are thousands of paths. Everyone has their own path, big or small, public or private. There is no such thing as high or low. You can follow your heart and do whatever you want. Thousands of paths lead to the same destination," Yan Lin said with a smile. "I'm just curious. What was Liu Xi's original intention for walking on this path? Was it for the greater good or for love? No matter how I think about it, I only feel that this sentence seems to be the most suitable. "
Yang Tao blinked. He didn't understand.
Yan Lin put his hand on his forehead and said, "To put it simply, Lord Liu is a man with great ambition and a big heart."
Yang Tao smiled. "It's rare to see Shaoyang praise someone like that."
What a high compliment.
Yan Lin shook his head. "Our paths are different."
Yan Lin didn't want to risk his life just to watch this kind of person. He didn't want to go all out and join in the fun.
Using a marathon as an example, Yang Tao divided the entire forty-kilometer race into eight segments. He only had to run five kilometers each time, and Yan Lin could take his time. Contestant Jiang Pengji, on the other hand, wanted to finish a hundred kilometers in one go. Forty kilometers was only her interim goal.
Hmm …
Yan Lin admired her courage and ambition, but he didn't have the energy to finish the race with her.
Yang Tao rested his chin on his hand. "Shaoyang, do you think I should confess to Liu Lanting and ask for her forgiveness?"
After all, they were old officials. Their relationship over the years was not fake. Yang Tao also did not want Jiang Pengji to settle scores with them.
Yan Lin looked down. "There's no need. Lord Liu won't do anything to them. At most, he'll scare them a little. Overall, it's more of a scare than a real danger."
Between husband and wife, there were dozens of times throughout the year when the thought of separation would pop up. Their teeth and tongues would even fight, let alone between the monarch and the minister.
He did not believe that Yang Si and the others had not thought of strangling their lord to death when Jiang Pengji repeatedly stood them up.
However, it wasn't like they could put their thoughts into practice. They could just beat them up and educate them. There was no need to kill them all.
Yang Tao let out an 'oh' sound and felt relieved.
Yan Lin said, "If it's possible …"
Yang Tao turned to look at him. "What?"
Don't leave your words unfinished.
Yan Lin added, "Zhengze will try his best to confiscate the Nan family."
Anyway, Jiang Pengji had borrowed Yang Tao's hands to confiscate many of the Nansheng aristocrats. She had offended them all.
Digging up graves, robbing people's wealth … Jiang Pengji bore half of the blame, and Yang Tao bore the other half as the executor.
There was no need to worry when there were too many lice. There was no harm in wiping out the Nan Family.
If the Nan family died in Yang Tao's hands, not only would they stand firm, but they would also be cleared of suspicion.
Yang Tao let out an 'oh' sound and did not think too much about it. He just smiled and squinted his eyes.
"I heard that the Nan family is rich. That's a fat sheep. It's a good job indeed. I wonder if I can get it."
It was an unspoken rule in the industry to seize some of the loot during a war. Many generals had made their fortunes by doing this.
Now that there was still a war to fight, it would not be easy to raise a family when the world was at peace.
"Of course, as long as you ask."
As a former feudal lord, Yang Tao's identity was a shortcoming, but it had its advantages.
For example, if he took the initiative to perform meritorious deeds, no one could compete with him.
Why?
Of course, it was to appease Yang Tao and satisfy his small requests without affecting the overall situation.
Yang Tao rejected the temptation of the former officials. Without a backbone, they could only sigh and give up. They continued to observe.
The Nan family could not sit still. They joined forces with a few aristocrats who had a grudge against Jiang Pengji to stir up trouble. Unfortunately, they died before they could succeed. Their conspiracy was only at the theoretical level when Yang Tao and his men discovered it. The letters and testimonies that they found were all preserved.
The idle people were stunned by the operation.
Junguo Laoda Laoda: "No … Shouldn't the streamer continue to pretend to be sick and dead? When the Nan family comes out with their troops, you will jump out and slap them in the face at the critical moment? They were only at the theoretical stage, and you already took action. It's not satisfying enough to slap them in the face. "
What was this like?
It was like Jiang Pengji's eviscerating hand cut to a five-minute trailer of an 81-episode political drama.
Basically, the Nan family united the aristocrats. Just as they were about to go on stage, Jiang Pengji kicked them off the platform.
The pace of this drama was as fast as the reincarnation of a hungry ghost. Even instant noodles lasted longer than it.
One of the idle people asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
Yewu Yanling: "So … why did the streamer pretend to be sick and dead?
"To raid a few more houses," Jiang Pengji said. "Didn't the Nan family unite six aristocrats in Fen Zhou? They died a worthy death. "
Why did they have to wait for the fire to burn down the house before putting out the fire?
It was better not to have this kind of hero reversal.
Jiang Pengji watched the fire burn a few books with cold eyes. The smoke sounded the alarm and the small fire was put out.
The small fire that the Nan family stirred up was the small fire that did not amount to anything.
She sneered. "Didn't the Nan family curse me for robbing their family property and digging up their ancestral graves as bandits? Heh, I spared their lives out of kindness and did not care about my own well-being. Then I will take the lives of their entire family. I will kill the chicken to warn the monkey so that the later generations will see the consequences! "
The Nan family was just a clown in her eyes.
She did not take them seriously. It was just that they thought too highly of themselves. They jumped up and down and did not let others have peace.
If she did not set a role model, did the people of Nansheng really think that she was a soft persimmon that could be trampled on at will?
With the fall of the Nan family, the aristocrats of Nansheng should calm down a little.
If they still did not calm down, Jiang Pengji could only set a trap for them and kill them until they all shut up.
As for the spy …
