During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Jiang Qian suddenly asked: "Are everything ready?"

"Get ready. Just in case, I've also arranged manpower in Fuchun Building."

Jiang Qian knew that Yuan Li was always thoughtful when doing things.

"Have the arrangements been made at the iron mine?"

"Great, I really guessed it. Last night, Sima secretly hid something in a flower pot in Fuchun Building. The Liu family sent someone to quietly leave the city. It was a carriage carrying something. The thing should be gunpowder."

Sure enough, Liu Bian planned to kill two birds with one stone.

Fortunately, they discovered it in time, otherwise he might have really avoided it.

"Master Jiang, although everything has been prepared, I am worried that something unexpected might happen in the meantime. Let's forget about today's banquet. Stop talking nonsense. Nothing is as important as your life."

"Then you won't investigate the official affairs of Xuzhou?"

"Of course we have to investigate, but the case is not as important as your safety. Besides, I have arranged for some spies to go out and find out a lot of things. I believe that it won't be long before we can get important evidence, and we will be able to bring it to light by then. They convict.”

Jiang Qian shook his head, "The evidence found in private is different from the evidence found publicly."

Yuan Li said nothing.

The Ministry of Supervision has always been unpopular with others. Even if they find evidence of their crimes, the evidence they find will be disliked by everyone, while the evidence found by Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment is more popular.

There is no evidence of any kind, and the evidence delivered to the door is more convincing.

Jiang Qian added: "The previous actions in Yangzhou have offended many aristocratic families, and Xuzhou is one of their bases. If they cut it down as aggressively as Yangzhou did, it will definitely cause their rebellion. If they seek death themselves, Then the result would be different.”

Once things get serious, people from the aristocratic family will definitely be afraid that they will be implicated. Let alone obstructing it, they may even be willing to actively cooperate.

In this way, the burden on the Supervision Department can also be reduced.

Yuan Li's hesitant heart quickly became firm.

"Young Master, are you really planning to do this?" Fan Shu couldn't help but speak.

Although he has decided to completely surrender to the Ministry of Supervision, he still does not want the eldest young master to be involved too much. If he can survive, it will naturally be better.

A hint of impatience flashed in Liu Jing's eyes, but when she looked at Fan Shu, she put the emotion in her eyes well.

"Now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired. If we retreat this time, I am afraid that the entire Liu family will lose their lives. If you are afraid, go back now."

Fan Shu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Liu Jing's expression suddenly changed, "But your two sons may not survive."

"The eldest young master?" Fan Shu looked at him in shock. Is this still the eldest young master he is familiar with?
Why does it feel like there is a demon living in his body.

Liu Jing lowered his head. He was already a head taller than Fan Shu, and his ferocious expression formed an invisible oppression.

"Today's affairs are only allowed to succeed, not to fail. If you dare to back down, then I guarantee that your whole family will not survive. What you have to do now is to act according to my orders."

His fingers pressed against Fan Shu's chest, like a sharp blade, shredding the corners of Fan Shu's chest, and at the same time wiping away his last few hopes for the Liu family.

Fan Shu knelt down and kowtowed, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely handle this matter."

Liu Jing then showed a smile on his face and helped him up personally. "Don't blame me for being cruel. It is related to the rise and fall of our Liu family for hundreds of years. I have to be more distracted. Don't worry, I will do what I say when it is done. There will be no problems with the future of your two sons. question."

Fan Shu felt sad in his heart, "Thank you very much, young master."

Fan Shu came to Fuchun Tower, and a man dressed as a waiter suddenly approached him, "You don't want to regret it, do you?"

Fan Shu looked at each other in shock.

The waiter said: "Don't think about it. I am from the Supervision Department. Mr. Yuan is worried that the Liu family will be unfavorable to you, so he asked me to help you."

Fan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to hold his hand, but was stopped by the waiter, "Sir, you have a headache, why don't you follow me to the kitchen for a bowl of mung bean soup."

Fan Shu reacted and nodded, covering his head.

When the two of them arrived at the back kitchen where the food was stored, he told him about his two sons being controlled by Liu Jing.

"Liu Jing did have your two sons under control. Instead of arresting them, he sent them out of the city to deliver goods in the morning. Our people followed them all the way. Everything is under control now."

"Is it really okay?"

"Of course nothing will happen. Since you are cooperating with the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Supervision will definitely be responsible for you. How can you let anything happen to your family?"

Fan Shu didn't know whether he believed it or not.

"I thought I was quite loyal to the Liu family. Even if the eldest young master asked me to take the blame, I would be willing to do so. But I didn't expect that he would threaten me with my two sons."

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of the waiter's mouth. They had seen many people like him who talked to themselves to find reasons for their actions.

They say they are loyal, but when the Ministry of Supervision contacted them, they were not willing to be traitors.

Just do it for yourself, why do you say it in a high-sounding way?

"So there is no need for you to hesitate. They have already done this to you, and you are still loyal to them. Aren't you a fool? Besides, this is not considered betrayal. You are doing this to eliminate hidden dangers for the court, and to make more money. Many people have a peaceful life."

"But I, I have betrayed my master's family. Are you still willing to believe me?"

Nonsense, what I want is for you to betray your master.

"Of course I am willing to believe you. Besides, this is not betrayal. It should be said that you are doing justice. To put it bluntly, you did not rebel against the Liu family for yourself, not for your own selfishness. You did it so that the people of Xuzhou can live a good life. I did this for Mr. Yuan and Mr. Jiang. You are killing your relatives out of righteousness and should go to the imperial court to recruit you."

Fan Shu sniffed hard, his eyes gleaming, "I...do I have merit?"

"Of course."

When Fan Shu left, he felt as light as stepping on cotton. People who didn't know better thought he had picked up someone else's money bag.

A helper from the back kitchen walked up to the waiter and said, "Why did you talk to him for so long?"

"I can't help it. I see that he is in a trance. If I don't enlighten him, what if it ruins the master's affairs? Don't forget that Master Jiang is here today."

"Well done. I saw he was so happy when he left. I hope nothing unexpected happens today." (End of Chapter)
