Carefully came to a mansion in a city, and Changsun Anye knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

After seeing Changsun Anye, the person secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After closing the door tightly, the person who opened the door pulled off the towel wrapped around his head.

I looked closely and saw that wasn’t this Zhang Liang that Yang Fan had been looking for?

This room is very close to Huating County Government, and Zhang Liang is hiding here. No wonder Yang Fan asked his subordinates to search for him for so long but could not find him.

It's really dark under the light!

After sitting down, Zhang Liang asked, "Brother An Ye, do you have anything urgent?"

After pondering for a while, Changsun Anye told the story of the Jiangnan gentry dealing with Yang Fan.

Although the fewer people know about this, the better, considering that Zhang Liang could not disclose the news to Yang Fan, Changsun Anye had no scruples.

What's more, Zhang Liang is now like a devastated dog. If he hadn't had his own protection, this guy would have been caught long ago.

Although this time he was threatened with kindness, Changsun Anye did not feel guilty.

What's more, if he could kill Yang Fan in one fell swoop, he would be more at ease with this money to spend freely and freely in Jiangnan.

However, when Zhang Liang heard Changsun Anye ask him to write a letter to his adopted son and the Jiangnan gentry robbed the prison, Zhang Liang refused.

"Now Yang Fan has used the power of great victory to wipe out all the pirates in Jiangnan. The morale of the entire Grand Governor's Office is rising, so it's better not to participate."

"At the time when the Jiangnan gentry gathered tens of thousands of dead soldiers in Yuntai Mountain, they could not kill Yang Fan. Do you think they can succeed this time?"

"If we are entangled by Yang Fan, then we will be in trouble and will only add to the trouble."

Zhang Liang was obviously more sober and was not blinded by the big cake painted by Changsun Anye.

The battle in Yuntaishan really scared Zhang Liang.

Even though he still has some resources, it is the capital he will recover in the future, and he doesn't want to use them all.

If you can't deal with Yang Fan this time and then add your last strength to it, it will be more than worth the loss.

Now that the news has passed, Zhang Liang may recover with his previous contributions. Why should he increase the risks and deal with Yang Fan?

If you risk losing everything for the sake of profit, Zhang Liang feels it is really unpaid.

Besides, Zhang Liangdong hid in Tibet, for fear that Yang Fan would come to him by following the clues, so how could he mess with Yang Fan again?

Changsun Anye has been exiled to Jiangnan for a long time, so he naturally doesn’t know how powerful Yang Fan is.

But Zhang Liang suffered a few losses on Yang Fan, so he was naturally very worried.

Although Changsun Anye was full of enthusiasm and wanted to kill Yang Fan, he had to give up when he saw Zhang Liang being so careful.

After thinking about it, Changsun Anye could only say: "This time I deal with Yang Fan, I think the Jiangnan gentry made up my mind. If Yang Fan really retreated, I hope Brother Zhang can take the lead. We will also have the weight of speaking in Jiangnan in the future. What do you think?"

Zhang Liang frowned: "Brother An Ye means that the Jiangnan gentry will win?"

"That's of course, the Jiangnan gentry has been here for hundreds of years. I don't think Yang Fan has a chance to win."

Zhang Liang thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, let's act according to the opportunity. Once Yang Fan retreats, I will definitely not let him escape unstoppable."

Changsun An Ye smiled and said, "It's just my wish, don't worry, we will make a big profit this time. As long as the task is done this time, I will give 100,000 yuan to Brother Zhang..."

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, he was so greedy.

A total of 500,000 guan, this guy actually gave himself only 100,000 guan...

However, now he has to accept it by relying on others.

After the two discussed some details again, Zhang Liang was a little worried: "Since the Jiangnan gentry has joined forces, why do they still have to pay for help?"

"Are so many Jiangnan gentry still not sure about getting Yang Fan? If Yang Fan learns that we are also involved, wouldn't he cause trouble?"

Changsun Anye said disdainfully: "I'm afraid of a bird! Do you think Yang Fan really has three heads and six arms. In my opinion, that guy is just a man who wants to get on the post by slapping horses."

"Besides, we didn't participate in it personally. It's useless if he knows it. There must be evidence! Without evidence, my Changsun family is not a vegetarian?"

Changsun Anye is indeed cunning. He didn't know that if he didn't go into the water in the end, no one could catch him.

Zhang Liang was unhappy and snorted coldly, but did not answer.

Your Changsun Anye is protected by Changsun Wuji and the queen of the dynasty, so you naturally have no worries about your life, but I, Zhang Liang, can't do it!

Although he was stubborn, Zhang Liang immediately made a decision: "Then this matter will be decided so that Brother An Ye will contact the gentry in Jiangnan. Once the time is ripe, I will let my adopted sons take a blow to Yang Fan."

"Even if the Jiangnan gentry did not succeed, we could not move. Yang Fan could not find any handle, so he would not dare to do anything to us. However, the Jiangnan gentry had to get the money first, and then we could feel at ease when we put the money into pockets."

Changsun Anye laughed: "Zhang Liang is really cautious enough, that's it!"

The matter has been decided, and then Changsun Anye told Wang Yu about his request.

This made Wang Yu quite unhappy and sneered: "Brother Changsun really doesn't trust me, Mr. Wang. Even if we, the gentry in Jiangnan, are in a state of disgrace, we cannot do nothing to do without any silence!"

Changsun Anye didn't care, but said leisurely: "Zezhou's words are heavy. I'm not going to be foolproof. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for everyone."

"Besides, I can trust Brother Wang, but Zhang Liang said he needed money to handle some things, and I had no choice!"

Wang Yu snorted, looking unhappy.

However, I also think what Changsun Anye said is reasonable. If you want the horse to run, you have to eat grass for the horse.

Since using money can attract such a great help, Wang Yu happily agreed.

So he informed many participating families and quickly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In the face of the money like a hill, Changsun Anye's eyes were dizzy by the shiny silver.

If I hadn't needed Zhang Liang's help, I would even want to take all of this money for myself.

Farewell to Wang Yu, Changsun Anye gave the money he received to Zhang Liang as agreed.

In order to ensure that there is no mistake, it is worth losing some money.

****

Just as everyone was trying to deal with Yang Fan, Yang Fan was leading his subordinates to interrogate the captured pirate leader.

In Yang Fan's opinion, these pirates have accumulated a lot of wealth in Jiangnan for decades.

If this money can be used to develop Jiangnan, it would be a best of both worlds.

In the Grand Governor's Office, Yang Fan was listening to Su Dingfang's report.

After hearing this, Yang Fan frowned and asked, "What did you say? He wiped out so many pirates, but only more than 300,000 yuan were seized?"

Su Dingfang nodded affirmatively: "I have checked it several times and there is no mistake. However, this should be related to the aristocratic family in Jiangnan?"

"Oh, tell me!" Yang Fan was quite interested and waited for Su Dingfang's answer.

Su Dingfang glanced for a week and everyone present was trustworthy. Then he spoke: "Grandmaster, according to the instructions of some pirate leaders, most of their money was used by the Jiangnan gentry, so there was not much!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"There are only some confessions, and there is very little evidence on the books. The Grand Governor, should he arrest those gentry from Jiangnan and torture them and torture them?"

Yang Fan shook his head: "Don't worry, let the news go out, saying that the pirates have confessed all of them. As long as the person involved is transferred to the stolen money, the governor can leave the blame. In addition, we will add our people outside the county jail to prevent those aristocratic families from jumping over the wall."

"The Grand Governor is wise and Dingfang is ashamed, and he almost missed the big thing."

Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Dingfang doesn't have to be like this. As long as people have omissions, the yamen runners in the county government office are probably related to those gentry. If the gentry members in the Jiangnan region want to kill people to silence them, they are afraid that the yamen runners will not be able to stop them at all, so you can increase some of our own personnel."

Su Dingfang was impressed.

Yang Fan usually looks careless, but unexpectedly, he came up with a trick to ask you to get into the trap in a moment.

If the Jiangnan gentry were reluctant to give up their money and were afraid that the handle of dealing with the pirates would fall into Yang Fan's hands, they would definitely take risks.

If the prison is unprepared, the pirates are likely to be killed by the Jiangnan gentry.

Now that we are prepared, once the gentry in Jiangnan takes action, we can capture the bandits and officials and gentry who collude with internal and external forces in one fell swoop.

Just when Su Dingfang sighed that Yang Fan was brilliant, Xi Junmai hurriedly walked in.

"Grandmaster, come down from the line to report, and have you discovered Zhang Liang's place?"

"Where?"

"That guy is cunning. He is hiding next to Huating County. No wonder we have been searching for so long but haven't found it. Should we order people to arrest him immediately?"

After pondering for a while, Yang Fan poses and says, "No need to be used for now. If there is anything suspicious, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

In the south of Jiangnan, the sky is gloomy and moonless at night, and the air is covered with moisture, and it will make you sweat when you move.

The county jail located on the west side of Huating County was silent at this time.

Because it is the place where the prisoners are imprisoned, there are few people coming and going. Now it is late at night and it is even rarer to visit.

In the hazy drizzle, shadows that appeared faintly flashed in the guard's eyes.

I looked closely but found nothing, which made the guards' yamen runners feel a little chilled behind them.

Could it be a hell?
