The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"I want Meng Chong to keep his mouth shut forever." Liu Shan said through gritted teeth.

Hearing what Liu Shan said.Zhang Fan was shocked again.To say contradictory.Everyone has it.Whether it's a brother, a father and son, or a close friend.among such officials.No matter whether it is superior or inferior or any other relationship.It is inevitable to have hatred.Things that want to put people to death are also very common.But Liu Shan is different.Meng Chong once helped Liu Shan do many things.Liu Shan can make the scale as big as it is today.It can be said that more than half of the credit is due to Meng Chong.certainly.Zhang Fan also knew.Liu Shan holds many handles on Meng Chong.But want to come.The situation back then seemed to be that Meng Chong knew about it.He took the initiative to find Liu Shan.Since Liu Shan was able to agree with Meng Chong's alliance plan.And give him a share.It shows that Meng Chong must also have Liu Shan's handle.And judging from what Liu Shan said now.It must not be a trivial matter for Meng Chong to hold his handle.

but.What is the reason.Let the former partners turn against each other.The reasons for interest are unquestionable.But Zhang Fan had some plans in mind.He planned to ask Liu Shan what was going on first.

"Brother, I'm really confused." Zhang Fan pretended to be puzzled.asked. "Since this Meng Chong helped Eldest Brother a lot in the past, he must have received a lot of benefits from Eldest Brother. In this case, although the relationship between you and him is not solid, it should be peaceful. That's why .Three years. But why is it like this.”

"Hey. People's hearts are not enough. Everything is caused by money." Liu Shan said with a sigh.Helpless face. "As the saying goes, 'It's hard to draw a person's skin. Knowing a person knows the face but not the heart'. My brother knew this sentence before. I also understand what it means. But I never took it seriously. Now it seems that the ancients really do not deceive me. ah.

"Back then. It was Meng Chong who came to me first. He didn't know where he got the news from. He knew that I was doing this kind of business here. And the profits were quite lucrative. So he wanted to get involved. I naturally I will not agree. You must know that my business. Although there is no capital, the money comes quickly and a lot. But it is risky. If it is not done well, it will lose my head. Naturally, I am not willing. However, Meng Chong has some clues about me in his hands. I have no choice but to agree to him. Give him a sum of money every year. At the same time, if something happens to me, Meng Chong will also help take care of it from above. .

"In the past few years, I have also seen that this is an opportunity. Anyway, Meng Chong is taking care of me at the top. I also gave him a lot of money. Since he received the money, he naturally has to do things. It has not been aware of it for the past few years. I also collected some clues about Meng Chong. Of course, it was just for self-protection. And he didn’t know. In this way, brother, I acted a little unscrupulously in those days. But nothing happened that couldn’t be solved. It is a big matter to ask Meng Chong for help. It can be said that the current scene is also created by me alone. I used to have this ability. But I didn’t do it because I was afraid. Meng Chong can be said to be That’s all for giving me the guts. He didn’t do anything else. He just knew how to reach out to me for money.

"But now. Meng Chong's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Last year's harvest was relatively good. And he alone took away [-]% of the whole. The people below are extremely unhappy. But I am also There was no other way. I had no choice but to withstand the opposition of the people below and survived.

"It's this year. You came here because of Yuande. Anyway. Although we have a relationship now, we still have to do this. So this year, I haven't asked those sea merchants for a penny. Even those who collect land taxes No one dared to ask for more money. However, this Meng Chong knew that there would be no harvest this year, but he still insisted on me giving him 500 million taels. This... I really have no choice. That's why I want to get rid of his."

Zhang Fan heard this.There was a frowning expression on his face.But his heart was full of joy.It seems that Meng Chong is really like his name.I don't know if it's a bad year or something.Which way did you make a rush.there.In the capital.Feng Bao, who is only one step away from Meng Chong, is also eyeing him; here.Jiangnan.Liu Shan, the most involved corrupt criminal, also wanted Meng Chong's life.The two sides don't match the boundary, but now they think of going together.Zhang Fan wanted to laugh when he thought of this.But it couldn't show any traces.He immediately pinched his thigh severely.Only then did I hold back.Zhang Fan was uncertain about many things.But now there is one thing he dares to guarantee.It was Meng Chong.This time it was dead.

Over there.Liu Shan didn't know what Zhang Fan was thinking.But saw his brow wrinkled.Liu Shan, who didn't know that Zhang Fan was pinching his thigh, thought that Zhang Fan felt something was wrong.Quickly asked: "Yuande. What's the matter? But what's the difficulty?"

Hear Liu Shan's words.Zhang Fan couldn't answer for a while.My mind changed sharply.He suddenly said, "Eunuch Liu. This matter is worth considering." There was banter in his voice.

Liu Shan heard that Zhang Fan suddenly changed his tone and address.Can't help but ask: "What does this mean?"

"Think about it. How similar is the situation between me and Meng Chong?" Zhang Fan said shaking his head. "But now. Meng Chong is not greedy enough. Eunuch is going to get rid of him right now. I'm worried. I'm worried that one day in the future. Eunuch thinks that I, Mr. Zhang, are also in the way. Maybe you can find Eunuch at that time." A more powerful person. Join him to get rid of me. Just ask. How can this make me not worry."

"So Yuande was worried about this." Liu Shan said suddenly. "Yuande can rest assured about this. I will never do this."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Zhang Fan raised his finger and shook it. "Brother, don't say that. You and I know it well. No matter who said these words. In this career field. That's not as good as bullshit. You'd better give me something practical."

"Then our family can just say it straight." Liu Shan seemed to understand that his words were really not convincing.explained. "Yuande, you are different from Meng Chong."

"Oh. What's the difference?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Of course there is." Liu Shan said naturally. "Although Yuande, you are the same as Meng Chong. You hold great power in your hands. But there is a big difference here. First of all, you are not an eunuch."

"Uh..." Zhang Fan suddenly heard Liu Shan say that.A little surprised.Then comes anger.He thought Liu Shan was scolding himself again.But when he saw Liu Shan's serious appearance.But it didn't feel like Liu Shan was scolding himself.Can't help but ask suspiciously. "Is this... a eunuch? Is there any difference?"

"Of course it's different. The difference is huge." Liu Shan said. "You think about the reason why people become officials. Apart from having a good reputation in the future. What do you want most."

"What I want most. Power, money, beauties. I think it's nothing more than these." Zhang Fan said.

"That's right. That's all." Liu Shan said with a smile. "But this is just an ordinary person's idea. What about the eunuch. The eunuch's seven emotions and six desires are less lustful. But he has stronger desires for the other two. I want to say this. You won't believe it, Yuande. "

Zhang Fan heard what he said.I also have an idea in my heart.Now Liu Shan doesn't care about making jokes about his physical defects when he talks about things.It can be seen that Liu Shan is very serious about this matter.

Zhang Fan didn't speak.This sentence is not easy to answer.He just nodded.Agree.Let's wait for Liu Shan's next article.

"So. But anyone who is an eunuch has good power and money. I think you, Yuande, who can enter the palace at any time, must have a deep understanding of this. Don't you?" Liu Shan asked rhetorically.continued. "I, Liu Shan, only look for one word of money. Otherwise, in the past few years, the money I got would have sent me back to the palace. But I didn't do it. I know that once I work in the palace. Then Compared with now, there are too many constraints. I, Liu Shan, are used to being free. But I can't bear that crime. I like it. Only money.

"But Meng Chong is different. He wants power. At that time, Chen Hong snatched Feng Bao's eunuch position by relying on Gao Gong. A few years ago, Chen Hong was a scumbag. Originally, at this time, Feng Bao had to wait. But Meng Chong, who was in charge of the imperial dining room at that time, also wanted to sit in that position. Although he had been in the palace for many years, he did not have the qualifications of Feng Bao. He came to Gaogong in person. In front of him. He begged Gao Gong in a vain manner. Find a way to let him sit in that position. Gao Gong was also annoyed by him and had no choice. Just in time. At that time, Chen Hong went down. Gao Gong needed someone to take care of him in the palace After a while, he also saw that Meng Chong could control him well, so he agreed to him and pushed him to that position. Now, he, Meng Chong, has sat on the highest seat that a eunuch can reach. He has the right. The rest There is only money.

"However. He is different from Yuande. With your current body, Yuande thinks that if I want to play any tricks on you, it will be like a fly shaking a big tree. In the end, it will all come back in vain. What's more. In the end I'm afraid I can't get anything against you either."

Liu Shan's words.Zhang Fan was speechless.If you say no.Then it means that I don't have the confidence and ability.Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?If you agree to come down.Not good.After all, Liu Shan has already made his words so clear.I will treat him in the future.Or he must have a grudge against himself.It seems that Liu Shan must hate Meng Chong to the extreme.at the same time.It is also desperate.

But Zhang Fan still decided to agree.He doesn't care what the future holds.After all, the relationship between him and Liu Shan is just a joke.None of those things can happen.

"In that case, brother, how are you going to shut up that Meng Chong?" Zhang Fan looked at Liu Shan and asked with a smile.
